This Week’s Top Story

Fresh off coordinating the hair team for Kate Spade at New York Fashion Week, Adam Bogucki will open a newly expanded Lumination Salon (luminationsalon.com) on March 1. Bogucki originally opened Lumination as a one-chair operation in in 2016. After word spread about the master stylist’s skillful cuts and colors, so did demand—and the need for a larger outpost was born.

At 3255 North Paulina Street, the new salon will offer three chairs and two additional team members to provide haircuts for men and women. Color, highlights, balayage, smoothing treatments, and extensions are also on the service menu.

Filled with natural light, the Green Circle Certified space has hardwood flooring and an industrial vibe (think Edison bulbs and exposed pipes.) It also offers a retail area stocked with products from Kerastase, Living Proof, and Kevin Murphy.
