I had an urge to get my hair done on Monday and most salons are closed. Ashka was open and I asked if I could get my haircut. They were surprised that I didn't just want a consultation. Nope, I want to get it done! My hair looked like crap after a trip to Fantastic Sam's so I needed someone to even it out. Kelly was the stylist and she did a good job evening things out. I think she was soothing, because I kept falling asleep on her! How embarrassing! read more

Pedicures are nice and they were able to match me with a stylist who did a great job on my hair cut, even though I was a walk-in. It would be nice if they put a little extra effort into things like having nice drinks for their customers-tap water in a coffee mug doesn't really set the right tone for a Spa. Also, all the magazines are super old and worn out. Otherwise, nice place and not overpriced. read more

Extremely poor business decision in removing one of the top stylists at your salon. I was shocked to find out that you removed Josephine Aponte from your staff. Josephine has not only been a loyal long standing employee with a long list of clients but has also continued to further her education on her own without the $$ support of Ashka. I was always impressed by the fact that she was willing to take classes, attend shows and even go as far as getting certified in other services in order to not only keep herself at the top of her game but to represent the salon as a destination spot for all things! Shame on you....... read more

I have been to Ashka a few times and have had nothing but great service. Elizabeth is super freindly and always makes you feel like your special. I will be comong back again and again. read more

I have been coming here for all my hair needs for awhile now and I love love love the results every time! Madi is amazing and really listens to what I want and does such a good job! 10/10 recommend read more

Not recommended for eye lash extensions. Had to have mine removed cuz they were all clumped together and full of glue. Could not get the glue off so here it is a week later and my eye lashes are still full of clumps of glue. read more

I went in for a Brazilian wax. Some of the staff I was greeted by was friendly while some others seemed a bit snobbish. The girl who waxed me was EXTREMELY professional and was excellent at making me feel at ease. After coming home and examining my lady bits, I found a few patches that she missed as well as some stray wax that was left behind. For paying top dollar, I'd expect for there to be no patchy areas. I guess I have high expectations when I'm paying $60 plus tip for a wax. The whole point of a Brazilian is to have the hair removed so we don't have to worry about it, so coming home to find a few areas that were unwaxed is disappointing, but I do have to give it to the girl for professionalism and for making me feel comfortable. read more

I've been going to Ashka for years. It is a relaxing atmosphere and they always run on time. I'm an Aveda snob, so I appreciate the extra oomph of the products, sitting room with fireplace and coffee/tea. Amanda does a fantastic job every time. She's friendly and listens to my endless stories, knows my crazy hair, and can tame it. I've also had both manicures and pedicures here and they've been great. As Margaret V mentions, they don't use tubs here, which I kind of like for the infection control aspect. They wrap your legs in these cool compress things using a rosemary mint scrub, which basically feels like altoids on your feet (awesome feeling by the way). My pedicures seem to last forever, much longer than the el cheapos I've gotten in the past at other places. So I go here instead. Maybe I'll see you sometime. read more

I have gone to this salon serval times for a color correction! I always see Josephine and she always seems to know what to do to fix my hair...make it normal! She has helped me with bad coloring, horrible cuts, and fried hair from over-processing! She truly is the best hair stylist I've ever seen :) read more

I really enjoyed my service here and left with an amazing balayage. Highly recommend and give stars.

Got my hair did on Saturday by Megan. She did exactly what I asked for, which is rare (for me) in the hair cutting world. She did a really awesome job cutting my hair in a way that really complimented my face/features. I have received a lot of compliments on it already. I will definitely be back again and highly recommend the salon! read more

Got my hair done today by Josephine. She did a great job. Love my new highlights and cut. Everything met or exceeded my expectations. They were also great with scheduling me in quickly after my current salon had closed with no warning. Will definitely be back. read more

I went in there to see if some could trim my bangs (small wispy bangs) Someone took we right away. I sat in her seat under 5 minutes and they charged me 15.00. Across the street, another nice salon..Lucky Hair..before only charged me 5.00. I will never step in that salon again and will tell all my friends. Live and learn. Ask 1st the price. read more

I love this salon, I've been going here for almost 3 years and I've never had a bad experience. Emma is the best I love my hair every time I see her, she does an amazing job. Mandy and Mona are great too! I refer everyone here! read more

I have been going to Ashka for almost 3 years. They are fabulous in everything they do. Great customer service and an exceptional staff! I can't imagine going anywhere else for my hair, facials, massage, and waxing. Top notch! read more

Salon Ashka is amazing. I have gone here for several years and have never left disappointed. My stylist, Courtney is incredible. I first heard about Courtney after approaching a stranger because I just had to know she got her hair done. I'm proud to say that after going to Courtney, the same thing has happened to me. Courtney really takes time to get to know her clients and is clearly intent on making sure that everyone leaves the salon feeling 100% satisfied. She knows exactly works and what doesn't for every hair type, color, bone structure and lifestyle. Courtney is truly an expert at what she does. Aside from being an extremely talented stylist, she's also a very sweet and caring person. During a period when my job involved a significant amount of travel that made it hard to schedule appointments, Courtney always went out of her way to work with me to make sure I could get in. She did this even if it meant coming in on one of her days off. I'd highly recommend Salon Ashka and Courtney - definitely a 5 star experience! read more

I have been going to Ashka for years, before they moved, even. They have always been friendly towards me and have bent over backwards to make me feel comfortable. I have been there to get my hair cut, my makeup done for an event, massages with Beth and waxing and was happy with every single appointment that I have had. read more

After being burned at another local salon who kept me waiting for almost an hour (they forgot my appointment!), I found Ashka. It has been amazing! My stylist, Evelyn, is so talented. I love my hair cuts and she's done a few up dos for me as well that have turned out great. The reception staff has always been kind, they don't run far behind, and the products they use are top notch. Very affordable Aveda salon, too. read more

The salon is clean and welcoming. My daughter loved her haircut. I am also impressed with Ashka Salon's commitment to their local community. They graciously donate monthly to nonprofits and community groups. read more

With finally finding a nearby full-service salon that also carries NuFree wax as well as Finipil for after wax care, I left my wax appointment - with Madison who was great! - feeling refreshed and reassured! Madison was patient, considerate, and made me feel comfortable as a new client. I left with zero pain or concerns. They gained another client, as I will be returning for future services! read more

I will usually only post a review if a service is really good or really bad. The saving grace of this review - and the 2 star instead of 1 star rating- is simply because the lady doing my services was very nice and sweet to talk to. For that reason I was reluctant to even post this, but it was hands down the worst manicure and brow waxing I have received. I usually go to the 'dime a dozen' local places for nails, but I found a gift card from years ago so decided to make an apt (I forgot why I never went back to use the rest of the gift card years ago). When I made the apt, the front desk lady was very nice and informative. When I had to reschedule my original 4 pm apt at 9 am, however, I got an incredibly rude woman who told me I should've given 24 hours notice. As a medical professional, sometimes things happen with my schedule that don't allow that. (And let me say, 99% of the time, I don't receive the luxury of a 24 hour notice when my apts need to reschedule.) But anyways, the rest of the front desk was nice so I blew that off and rescheduled. The person who did my services was, as previously stated, also very friendly. Problem is, she stated she is a massage therapist and what I soon learned, she does not know how to do nails and waxing. My shellac manicures always last 2-3 weeks - this one started lifting after 1.5 weeks and I believe it was for two reasons- she didn't do cuticle work (isn't that pretty standard with a full shellac manicure) and the coat was way too thick . When I went it to a different place (due to two broken nails and two complete lifts at 1.5 weeks ), the rest of the polish came off with absolutely no effort. It literally peeled off as one section from each nail. The pedicure was ok but the color faded extremely fast. I take care of my nails - do the solar oil daily- etc, so there should be no reason for this. The icing on the cake was the waxing that I didn't see until I got home- she literally removed (I'm assuming unintentionally) a large 'hole' (for lack of a better word) of the medial aspect of my eyebrow on the right side. After two weeks, the hair is still not back, and I have to use a filler. At least if you make a clear mistake, don't let me leave the salon without telling me. The cost of the services was $111 plus tip- so ultimately even with the gift card, I paid more than I normally would at a corner of the road nail place for subpar service. Will not be going back. read more

I was just going in for a cut my first appointment was cancelled due to my stylist being sick. So I was rescheduled with another girl no big deal I didn't have a favorite. Everyone was friendly and my cut was fine, not terrible but not a wow I love my hair cut. Anyway, I was seated at a station that still had hair all over from the client before me. There was a clump of hair on the workstation next to me which the stylist apologized for and threw on the ground and half way through my cut the stylist stopped to sweep the floor. I started looking around and noticed other stations looked like they needed to be wiped down and cleaned up (you could see drips down the sides of the drawers from products). I won't be back the state of the salon was disgusting. read more

I've been visiting this salon since 2004. Love it! Love the service and the friendly staff. They offer a great variety of services and I have never been disappointed. The environment if very relaxing. I've been seeing Kristin for hair care and she's fantastic. The massage is great here as well as the other services; facials, mani/pedi, etc. read more

LOVE going to Ashka!! I love the atmosphere in the salon, and especially the spa portion. I see Amber and she is awesome! Given that it's an Aveda salon, services and products are a bit pricey, but they're great products and the stylists are skilled. I've been an Aveda girl for years and continue to love their products. Ashka is a great salon and spa, and if your wallet can handle it, I would definitely recommend going. read more

I have been getting pedicures from Kym at Ashka for over three years. She does a great job. She is always on time and takes good care of my feet and hands if I can squeeze in a manicure. Kym is always willing to work with my schedule. I have been seeing Josephine for about 6 months now and I am very happy with her also. Due to my mix up with my schedule, I was frantically needing color on my hair. Josephine fit me in with no problem. and I know she was fully booked. She just made it work. She does such a great job with my hair. I love her knowledge of color. The ladies at the front desk make sure to know your name and always make you feel welcome. I highly recommend Ashka. read more

I Love this place & will also only take my 14 year old here for eyebrow waxing. I trust them & she looks like a polished version of herself, not someone trying to look 25. Robin read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH HAIR CUT AND HAIR COLOR. Please do not go to this salon. They do not know how to make arrangements based on clients' need. I was there to do my hair for my anniversary dinner date. They told me they can wait after the closing time which is at 6 pm and kept saying that they dont want me to be late. I told them I can wait and ended up extending my dinner reservation time further. But when it was 5:30 Jordan, my hair stylist , went on to say she cannot wait and I have to choose between a blow dry or a hair cut. It was just super frustrating. I had to choose blow dry as I didn't want to go to dinner with my wet hair. But had to leave without a haircut. I was at least hoping the color would have come out as I wanted. It was not even close to the picture I showed. Jordan rushed through the entire time which started hurting as well at a point. I sent an email on this for a refund and have not heard back till now. This is the second time I am having a horrible experience with their staff. Made a mistake taking a chance the second time. read more

I was looking for a new salon and saw that Ashka had donated gift cards to the PCEP Vendor Fair raffle. They paired me with Brianna and she was awesome! I LOVE my new cut and she asked me several times throughout the process if I was happy with how it felt, how it looks, was it short enough, etc. It felt like she really listened to me when I described what I was looking for and my cut looks super close to the pictures I brought in. So happy that I already made my next appointment for 3 months away! read more

Awesome service, very friendly staff, been a loyal client for six years for all my hair cuts and massages. Both Lisa and Katie have cut my hair and I have always had a great experience. read more

After going to this salon for 13yrs ,I was left a message that all my appointments were canceled. I have seen 5 different stylists over this long time, so after Josephine was removed I thought they would just move me and my standing appointments over. Being loyal to this salon was not appreciated, and was clearly a mistake. What ever management changes are going on there need review. read more

I've been to Ashka twice and both times was very satisfied with how the stylists took my ideas into account and did not try to give me a different look although they also offered good suggestions. Went in with multiple ideas of how I wanted my hair cut to look like and my stylist Katie was able to accommodate all my ideas wonderfully. (She also has curly hair so would be a good choice for fellow curlies) Service is quick and professional, the salon is clean, you're offered complementary tea and coffee, and all the staff were really friendly. I was originally with Emily but due to her greater years of experience she charged more which is completely fine! But it wasn't within my budget and the staff switched me with Katie. The situation was handled smoothly. I paid $45 for my cut no coloring. I'm not sure how that fares with other places although I do agree with someone else's comment that perhaps the price is partly for atmosphere more so than service. read more

I love going to Aveda Salons so when my usual Aveda salon could not fit me in I made an appointment at Ashka. I noticed that their prices were considerably higher than what I was used to at other Aveda salons but as I was attending a special event I made an exception. I was pleased with the decor and their ability to fit me into their schedule. That is where the pleasant experience ended. As soon as I walked in for my appointment there were about 4 people at the front desk all of whom gave me unpleasant looks. If I didn't know better I would say they hated working there or they hated their customers. The woman who spoke to me was exceptionally rude. My hairdresser was capable and did a sufficient styling job on my hair for the event I was attending. The woman who took my payment made an effort to be a little more pleasant than the woman who helped me when I walked in. I think she noticed how offended I was earlier. I have never been treated so rudely in an Aveda salon and I will never go back to this one. read more

I love Ashka Salon & Spa and I have getting my hair cut here for many years. I am also very grateful to Ashka for giving back to our community and supporting our 2017 graduates with a donation towards the Senior All Night Party. read more

Kim is the absolute best nail technician. She not only k owns her products well she is well versed in nail and skin care! I thought I would miss the foot soaks with the pedicure but the hot towels are phenomenal and there is peace of mind knowing that the towels are clean! read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT let Emily near your hair, especially when she has a pair of scissors, in her hands! Extremely bad haircut, because she didn't listen - at all. To add insult to injury, when applying the tint, she mismatched the hair color, as well! Although the manager was sympathetic and gave me a refund - I am stuck with a really, really bad haircut, that all the money in the world, can' t fix. Can't recommend this business, sorry! read more

I have been going to Ashka Salon for several years. All of the services I have received have been superior. The stylists are friendly and skilled. My stylist works closely with me to create the perfect cut and color.. Manis and pedis are done in a lovely, relaxing room. Kim makes my nails look like a million bucks. The massage I received was so relaxing and the spa area is decorated to induce a feeling of calmness. Another impressive part of the salon is the reception area. The employees that work the desk are welcoming and offer to take your coat and bring you a beverage. They also tell you that they are checking you in so your stylist knows you have arrived. Ashka Salon is the place to go for all of your beauty needs. read more

I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this salon! I was looking for salons in Brighton and Ann Arbor that could do 3 pedicures at once and no one had any openings that would work for our schedule. So Ashka was the 10th place I called and they were available and very sweet on the phone. We all met there and were asked if we wanted anything to drink and they brought it to us, which is nice. The salon and spa area were clean and the decorations were nice. We were brought back to the pedicure room and I was surprised to see that there were no tubs, but it was still super wonderful! They used hot towels instead of soaking. I got Sara (who is also a massage therapist there) and she was amazing! Not only the massage part, but when she painted my nails. They do vinylux automatically, because it dries in 10 minutes. They have lots of choices of colors that I got overwhelmed! The 3 wonderful ladies that helped us (I can't remember the other 2, sorry!!) were great. They were friendly, they talked to us, but they also let us just talk among ourselves. I was impressed! And I will most likely come back to experience Sara's massage! Thanks Ashka! read more

I have been going to Ashka for awhile now but today will be my last. I have always liked my hair when done although I feel like they rush and I feel bad asking the stylist to style my hair at the end because she typically has at a minimum 1-3 or customers at different stages of getting their hair done. I do not necessarily feel like this is worth the $200 I usually walk out paying but the real problem occurred today. I showed up to the salon right before my scheduled 9am appointment, which I had my reminder card for to be told by the receptionist that I am not on the schedule--what!! I did not bother reminding her that she is the one that checked me out last time. She went to see if the stylist could fit me in-nope... She said sorry but we might be able to get you in this afternoon. I do not have time to be running back and forth when I had a scheduled appointment. She then said well we might be able to get you in next week. I'm sorry but this is not good customer service-mistakes happen but you do what you have to in order to fix the problem at the convenience of the customer. She did not once look to see if there was anyone else in the salon that could see me. I left the salon and went to the salon across the street and explained what happened and guess what they were happy to fit me in and get my business! read more
