Chicago's South Loop
Your scalp is the root of the story.
Why It Matters
Think of your scalp like soil, and your hair like the plant.
A plant can only grow as well as the soil it’s rooted in. Your hair works the same way — every strand grows out of a tiny follicle in your scalp, so however healthy or unhealthy that scalp is, it shows up in your hair.
When the scalp is…
Clogged
Buildup from products, oil, or dead skin can block the follicle opening, which slows down — or quietly stalls — new growth.
When the scalp is…
Inflamed or Irritated
When the scalp is…
Out of Balance
This is exactly what trichology — the study of hair and scalp health — is built to catch. It’s also why we never guess: we look at your scalp first, so the treatment we recommend solves the actual problem, not just the symptom you can see in the mirror.
Lash Extensions
Y’lonn Lash Studio is fully committed to providing our clients with quality services in a skilled manner and a pleasant atmosphere. Unique to our studio are two distinctive features: expertise and knowledge enhanced by professionalism.
Assessment
Trichology
(the study of hair and scalp health)
We take a close look at your scalp under magnification before we recommend anything — so you know exactly what’s going on, and why. That means fewer guesses, no wasted money on products that aren’t right for you, and a plan that is actually customized for your scalp.
About
Beauty expertise, backed by medical care.
The Story
From the chair to the microscope.
Y’lonn’s extensive career includes having owned four salons across Chicago’s South Loop. Along the way, she kept noticing the same thing: a lot of hair problems weren’t really about the hair at all — they started with the scalp underneath.
That’s what led her to trichology, the study of hair and scalp health. Today, her practice blends real salon experience with clinical scalp care, all in one visit.

Philosophy
The scalp tells the truth before the hair does.
Hair loss, thinning, and change rarely start with the hair itself. That’s why we always check your scalp first, build a plan around what we find, and only then talk about products. Treat the scalp, and the hair growing out of it has what it needs to flourish.
The Restoration Protocol
A six-month plan, in three phases.
Phase One
Calm & Repair
First, we calm down anything that’s irritated or sensitive, so your scalp is ready for the next step.
Phase Two
Stimulate & Grow
Phase Three
Maintain & Flourish
Services
We always take a look before we get to work.
See the menu below for some of our services to help you find the right fit for what your scalp needs right now.
Assessments
Start here if you're not sure what your scalp needs.
A full assessment is required before starting any Restoration Protocol — or book one on its own, just to get clarity on your scalp and hair health.
Trichological Assessment by Y'lonn · 1 hr
$265
Team Trichological Assessment · with Y'lonn & Sheon · 1 hr
$500
Two practitioners, both Trichologists, one consult.
Hair loss and scalp changes aren’t always just a hair issue — things like hormones, thyroid function, nutrition, stress, and medications can all show up first at the scalp. That’s why this assessment is done alongside Sheon, our Nurse Practitioner: so any bigger-picture health factors get caught early, not missed. It includes a health & lifestyle consult, HD scalp imaging, a hair & follicle check, progress photos, a plain-language walkthrough of what we find, and a plan treatment built around it.

Why the Pairing Matters
A cosmetology-only assessment can miss a medical cause of hair loss. A medical-only assessment can miss the styling and scalp-care habits actually driving the damage. Together, Y’lonn and Sheon cover both sides in the same visit — which is exactly what the Team Trichological Assessment is built for.
