River North's Newest Concept: Desdimi Gallery and Salon
Gallery Dedicated to Showcasing Local Emerging Artists and Hottest Stylists
Chicago, IL, November 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Customers at Chicago’s newest high-end hair salon, Desdimi, will get more than the usual clip and color during their next visit. Instead of just extensions for hair, they will have the opportunity to extend their minds because the salon is also an art gallery dedicated to promoting local artists of all mediums.
“We plan to cater to every art form and fill the gallery with a rotating roster of emerging local talent,” says Desdimi’s owner, Danka. “I was looking for a way to combine my many influences under one roof.”
Originally from the former Yugoslavia, Danka is living the American Dream. She earned a degree in Philosophy from DePaul University while studying and working with master stylists in the United States and Europe. According to Danka, her gallery and salon has taken special care to make the entire experience stimulating for its clientele. “We want to create an experience that will turn heads and spread awareness. Even our stylists’ stations have been crafted from antique sewing machine tables.”
Desdimi will serve as a cultural hub, from monthly artist launch parties, Desdimi Art Slam art contest, ongoing specials and even two $2500 college scholarships. “The arts desperately need our help. If we can combine our energies with, say, even a Chicago university, there’s no telling what we can do. We're happy we have the support of a couple of prominent art schools in the city.”
