Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Step Inside the Cozy Hearth of Chicago’s Logan Parlor, an LGBTQ Communal Safe Haven That Also Happens to Offer Haircuts.

- Brennan Kilbane

Logan Parlor was designed to look like your grandma’s house—it is staged for familiarity. If Grandma was an art dealer with an impeccable (but eclectic) home-furnishing sense, it’ll feel like home. For everybody else, it looks like a snug place to get your hair cut, with vintage Belvedere chairs culled from antique stores, coffee and snacks available gratis, and a full Redken color bar. (Just like Grandma used to have!) The Parlor is a hair salon second and a safe community space first, hence the radically positive vibes. You can also drink there.
