I love it here!!!! Everything is stunning and everyone is so kind & fun to be around. I love feeling like we’re all just hanging out every time I come in for an appointment. This is how hair salons were meant to be! I have very thick curly hair that I bleach and Amanda never misses. She takes her time to come up…

I booked with Rahela and she did not disappoint ✨ I woke up with a migraine today and the whole appointment was so relaxing—from her specialty head massages to the blow out, she nailed it! She also gave me a beautiful hair cut. 20/10 :)

I’ve been going to Amanda G since before she was at this studio and holy shit she is hair goals incarnate. 🤌🏻 I always leave the salon with an amazing blowout, blonde refreshed and stomach hurts from laughing. 10/10. Highly recommend. Her instagram is pretty funny too.

Best of the best salons in downtown Detroit! From the ambiance of the space, the amazing team who are incredibly kind and talented, it’s a place I want to call my salon home when it comes to my hair and skin needs. Kelsey Craig has done my hair a few times and is incredibly talented, kind, and one to hit an home run with all my hair needs.

I’ve been loyal to Kelsie for my hair and Georgia for my brows since day one, and let me tell you, their work is flawless. Kelsie transforms my locks into a masterpiece—I’ve always channeled big flowy, feminine hair and she just gets it. Georgia? A brow wizard. My arches have never looked so sharp yet natural. The…
