Like a lot of us he picked a major because he had to pick something and well, merchandising sounded as good as anything! Lucky for all of Jim’s loyal and adoring guests the creative Gods were calling his name by his Junior year and he decided to answer the call. He enrolled at the prestigious Aveda Institute and realized right away that this was indeed his true path and passion. Jim’s good luck and hard work continued after he graduated and he landed a job at the well-known Michael Anthony Salon in Chicago, before moving onto Studio 110 where he was the Color Educator. He has been a colorist now for 18 years and his extensive knowledge and experience allows him to create a full-range of beautiful color for his guests while utilizing the most cutting edge techniques in the industry. Throughout the course of his almost decade long career Jim has earned the loyalty of his guests which he also considers his dear friends. It’s clear to see by the smiles on their faces when they’re in his chair that they feel the same. e: jim@salondjchicago.com s: @colorbyjim https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/580d5d7fe3df28929eb0f984/1730403880347-ZBZV260OCPWO9V1RM4TV/e1200x260_jwk_karah_7365.jpg The Team - Karah Deutsch, Senior Stylist As a child, Karah's favorite pastime was styling her babysitter's hair and proudly presenting the finished look to her parents. Her youthful enthusiasm and creativity followed her into adulthood; in 2003, she began her venture into the beauty industry. Karah honed her skills at the infamous Trio Salon, where she trained under the guidance of top educators from Vidal Sassoon. With the knowledge she acquired, she became the head educator of the haircutting department at Studio 110. Karah then brought her passion for hair to a new, innovative salon in Chicago's West Loop- SalonDJ. The moment she walked in, she knew that this salon was meant to be her home. Karah's talent has allowed her to work on projects such as styling for Miami and New York Fashion Week as well as Fox News Studios in Chicago.

She began her apprentice program at Studio 110. While there, she had the privilege of training under an amazing colorist who inspired her to this day. After graduating from the program two years later, she had earned herself a spot on the floor. Nicole then started to hone in on what kind of colorist she wanted to be. Balayage quickly became her obsession and forte. She fell in love with the subtle way it can add dimension to a look or make a complete transformation. Her clients who had never heard the word before were now adding it to their services. She started to see her clients as walking canvases, transitioning into a true hair artist. e: nicole@salondjchicago.com s: @spaziodecoco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/580d5d7fe3df28929eb0f984/1730403882846-JSKHYRLPUWPFEEJDPS9G/e1200x260_jwkp_0173.jpg The Team - Annie Markley, Hair Design & Color Specialist Annie's passion for hair originates from her lifelong love of creating art; her discerning taste for color, shape, and balance is what sparked her desire to enter the beauty industry over a decade ago.

Annie began her career as a colorist and stylist on Chicago's Northside before moving to the legendary Trio Salon, where she received expert training from Vidal Sassoon-based educators.

His work has been featured in CS magazine, Michigan Avenue magazine, and as well as many other editorial platforms. Eddie joined the SalonDJ team on a temporary basis initially, but in his own words when you ask him why he chose to stay he replies “because I’ve worked 20 years specializing in men’s & women’s haircutting and styling, and I need an excellent color department for my clients. I feel SalonDJ has the strongest color department I’ve ever worked with.” We are excited to consider Eddie a permanent fixture with our team.

This program allows her to hone her skills in hair cutting, styling, and hair color.
