Our Story
Tricoci Salon & Spa is a destination for renewal, confidence, and craft. For more than four decades, our Chicago-based brand has shaped the beauty experience with a blend of refined technique and calm, intentional care. Across 13 salons and spas in the Chicagoland area, clients step into spaces designed for restoration, places where artistry feels personal and every moment inspires confidence. From the very beginning, our work has been guided by education, authenticity, confidence, and evolution.
The Tricoci story begins with artistry. In 1977, our founder, Mario Tricoci, opened his first salon in Woodfield Mall, the first of its kind inside a major U.S. shopping center. It quickly became a home for modern beauty, defined by creativity, innovation, and a belief that personal style should evolve with you.
In 1986, the first Tricoci Day Spa opened in Arlington Heights, introducing a new standard of care and helping shape the American day spa experience. As the brand grew, Mario and his wife, Cheryl, expanded Tricoci into a network of salons and spas known for their craftsmanship, thoughtful service, and forward-thinking approach. Long before blowout culture took hold, Tricoci stylists were pioneering a fresh, modern finish that made confidence part of the everyday ritual.
Today, still guided by family values and a vision built on the belief that beauty is a lifelong journey, Tricoci continues to evolve. Most recently, with the opening of our first Tricoci Med Spa in Oak Brook, expanding our commitment to confidence, balance, and renewal.
