BANG! Salon — inclusive hair salon in Wicker Park
BANG! is a Wicker Park salon that pairs creativity with care and a genuinely inclusive welcome. Led by owner and master stylist Eli Mancha — named to the 2026 Salon Today 200 for the salon’s philanthropy — it’s built on precision, clear communication and a room where every guest feels at home.
Services
The menu is hair through and through: classic, curly, pixie and barber-style cutting, plus color from root touch-ups and glosses to highlights, balayage and full custom color. Personalized consultation shapes each visit around the individual and their hair.
Technology & brands
The color and care shelf is strong — Kevin Murphy, R+Co, Keune, K18 and Olaplex for bond-building and repair, Reuzel and Lock&Loaded for grooming, and Danger Jones for vivid, creative color. The team takes pride in the spotless care of the space between clients.
Team & masters
Owner and master stylist Eli Mancha leads the floor, joined by master stylist Sky Bussanmas and a full team including Joseph Hoffmeier, Emily Duffy, Stef Cummins and others. Staff pronouns are listed openly, part of the salon’s inclusive, LGBTQ+-friendly ethos.
The Space
The Wicker Park salon is easygoing and welcoming, kept spotlessly clean, and designed so guests of every identity and hair texture feel genuinely comfortable — creative energy without attitude.
