Yelp! – BANG! Salon

Eli Mancha’s vision of BANG! Salon began in 2005. The dream was then established in the Chicago’s diverse Wicker Park in May of 2007. The ambiance at Bang! Salon is warm and comfortable with an extremely welcoming and energetic staff. We are a team of highly passionate stylists, driven by education and our excitement for the industry! Our creativity is only surpassed by our talent, which is exceptional in all areas of hair. As a whole we are a family, as a force we are unbeatable, as your salon we are unforgettable!

Eli and BANG! Salon is currently part of the Lock & Loaded team. This renowned team was conceived by a group of stylists who have traveled the world for various hair product manufacturers as educators/platform artists. Throughout their travels, one thing became very clear: today’s stylist did not fully understand sculpting/coloring techniques for today’s male. Times have changed, and so have today’s male. In our current society, men are much more astute with fashion and want to be trendsetters. They are the most loyal of clients and require particular attention. With this new male clientele, we needed to craft more creative and diverse looks to provide them.
