Patricia Munro
Owner/stylist/colorist
Patricia Marie began training as a hair stylist at the age of 18. After completing her training she was given the opportunity to work at one of Chicago’s most prestigious salons. Patricia remained at this salon for the next 13 years. Over that time she continued to develop her skills and eventually her hard-work and expertise payed off as she became the Education Director for three salons. Patricia spent many years traveling the world drawing inspiration from the most elite hair dressers in the industry. Patricia has been featured in Sun Times, on Fox News, WGN, Chicago Magazine and The Guiliana and Bill (Rancic) show. Patricia has also assisted in makeovers, T.V. Shows, and participated in many fashion shows. Patricia continued on, sharing her experience and knowledge to all of the stylists at Patricia Marie Salon. After 6 years of passion, determination, and hard-work at the Patricia Marie Salon, Patricia and her husband Eliot founded 707 Hair Studios. Following another successful 9 years, Patricia and Eliot opened a second location just down the street in Old Town. 707 Old Town has continued its legacy of education, community, and creativity by expanding its outreach and impact. She believes “education is the key to one’s success,” and as the Owner of 707 Hair Studios, Patricia is excited to be surrounded by such a great team and will always be looking for ways to give back to show her gratitude.

Eliot Munro
Owner/sylist/colorist
Eliot, the “Balayage King,” found his desire to be in the hair industry when he was just a young man. His passion took off while watching his mother everyday at her own salon. Eliot began to develop a natural ability within the beauty industry without even realizing it. His creative mind and artistic abilities started to develop throughout the years to follow. When he was 19 he graduated from Paul Mitchell School of Chicago, then continued his education at some of the most prestigious salons of Chicago. He grew as a stylist following many talented hairdressers around the world. Meanwhile Eliot began selling hair care products becoming a master with all kinds of hair types, including curly hair. He developed many relationships that led him into managing a few salons in Andersonville. During this journey it was then that Patricia and Eliot met. Having the same passion to create, connect with others, and perfect this industry, it wasn’t long before they became a team in every way. As a hairstylist, filmmaker, and musician, Eliot has mastered the intersection of his art, connecting his passions of video and performance to 707 through the 707 Social Club, a collection of community get-togethers on the basis of art. With the introduction of 707 Hair Studios Old Town, Eliot has continued to connect his talent in video and music through his career as an expert hairstylist.
