Avis, the owner of Mitten Maven, has been cutting my hair for nearly a decade. When we were young…read moreand poor, she would cut my hair in my dining room. And over the years, I have followed her from salon to salon, and I am elated now that she has opened her own little shop! You might wonder why I would be willing to follow a stylist from Cass Corridor to the burbs to Corktown and now to Grosse Pointe. And my explanation would be this: Avis is an incredible stylist. She's worth the drive. Granted, I've always had bobs or medium length hair, but I've seen her give awesome short cuts and fades, and beautiful long cuts too. She does it all. I trust her implicitly. I trusted her to give me baby bangs- even if you have no idea what that means, know that means I trust her a lot. Although I've never personally had Avis color my hair (I've never had anyone color my hair), I know that she's incredible. Check out her social media- I've been tempted to take the plunge more than once. Avis really cares about the products she uses and sells in her salon, and has taken a lot of effort to do her research. As someone who also cares about what I put on my hair and skin (and has a few allergies), I really appreciate how much thought she's put into her products. I also appreciate the convenient online appointment scheduling. Once you select the services you want (and you can add several)- it shows you her availability based on the amount of time your services require. You get a confirmation, and it's super easy to reschedule if necessary. I'm proud of Avis for taking the plunge to open her own shop.

Dimensional hair color is so much fun for me from melting rainbow vivid shades to soft natural balayage. I love creating a personalized hair color formula for my client that looks lived in and will grow out beautifully. Not feeling your length or texture? I can help with that too. I’m certified by Klix human hair extensions to help provide length quickly without harsh adhesives. I also provide non-toxic smoothing keratin treatments by Peter Coppola which is great for anyone suffering from frizzy hair. Getting married!?! I got you! I’ve been helping bride’s look and feel their absolute best for their “I Do’s” for the last 7 years with my makeup and hair services. You have a ton of friends? No problem! I work with a team of beauty professional to ensure that the morning is fun and realxing.

Always looking for my go to eyebrow spot. And I think I found it!…read more Booking online was super easy and simple. I have always wanted to know what was inside that building/house especially with that gorgeous curved front door. Passed it so many times on University. Parking was easy and nice to have designated parking spots for Bare Philosophy. Walked in and had no idea that you had to take your shoes off. I get for cleanliness sake and winter bringing water/salt, but I wasn't expecting it. I walked in and noticed another patron standing inside with her socks on so I followed suit. I didn't notice behind me that they provide slides to wear after you take off your shoes. There was no staff downstairs so no one to greet me or give instructions. There was a sign that said they were short staffed and to help yourself. It was the day before Christmas Eve. Really pretty inside and welcoming. Lots of areas to look at product. There was a coffee machine. Old historical charm throughout! The other client got brought back and I just was standing around. I finally heard someone in the foyer area and was checked in at that point and brought back to a large room for my eyebrow appointment. We spoke a bit about eyebrow shape and how she likes to keep things natural/follow your natural shape. Can always take off more later if I wanted. I think my eye wax was all of five minutes. Trimming, a few strips of waxing, and then tweezing and that's it. Let me have a look in the mirror and I was happy for the most part. I should've asked to trim my eyebrows a little more. But overall content with the shape. I wish there was something to put on my skin afterwards to calm it down since I get red easily. Again, the whole process was super quick, didn't feel overly personalized with an eye brow shaping/waxing but the job got done. The staff who did my brows was very nice and we made conversation throughout my service. I felt comfortable and no pain with the waxing/tweezing. Afterwards, she checked me out and you can give a tip on a card. $20 is a fair price for an eyebrow wax, what I was paying for at another place in the area.

Those red splotches after waxes that I thought were just part of getting waxed? Nonexistent with Katie. I am genuinely convinced she is magic because I never knew a wax could be this painless before AND after! Also as a gal who has always struggled with intense ingrown hairs, ones that doctors told me could only be fixed with laser, I was stunned when Katie took the time to get all of them out and coached me on how to prevent them in the future, truly above and beyond! She's is the most thorough esthetician I've ever been to, and she creates such a warm and welcoming environment that I am actually looking forward to my next wax!

I hate posting negative reviews of a company or person but this situation unfortunately warrants…read moreit. I went to Flip Salon on Tuesday to have Melissa Maiullo cut and color my hair. I had a good experience with her straightening my hair before so I went back. I thought she was a good person who just messed up until instead of owning her mistake, she tried to lie, cheat and gaslight her way out of it. Instead of doing a good job on my hair she edited a photo to make it look like she did as an excuse not to refund me any money. If she would have told me I can't do what you want but I can give you regular highlights, I would have said no thank you and left. I NEVER expected her to fabricate a photo to skirt culpability. She sold her integrity for $365 and revealed herself to be an untrustworthy person with weak character and morals. The owner is going to comment about how the lighting in the salon made my hair look like that but Irene, you need to stop gaslighting me. I was in your salon under the same lighting that the (edited) photo was taken in and my hair looked nothing like it. Otherwise I would have left happy and been upset later. And that's not what happened is it? Stop gaslighting me. But if you're sticking to that then who wants to go to a salon that makes their hair look COMPLETELY different from what you went there for as soon as you walk outside? This all could have been solved so easily if Melissa said I'm so sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted and did something completely different--instead of doubling down on her lies and getting the owner to co-sign them. A little accountability from two adult women is not too much to ask for. Edit: Irene, you did not offer to fix my hair for free, you offered to re-tone it. Toner will not make my hair lighter and you know that. Also, Irene, you took the photo of my hair outside. How are you going to say it's just the lighting? I contacted Irene and said I would take my reviews down--all she has to do is retake the photo in the salon lighting and show me that I'm wrong. That the photo isn't edited. Instead of taking two seconds to do that, she blocked me. Looks like accountability is not in the cards for her.

Pricing is reasonable and the outcome has always been great. They offer drinks and refreshments. My only gripe is they insist on giving you a silk robe - which would be fine and dandy and add to the 'luxurious' experience - except they're all 'one size fits all' and it's incredibly awkward, unpleasant, and downright embarrassing to drag around a robe that does not close because it is too small. Buy some bigger sizes. It's already murder for some of us to stare into giant floor length mirrors the whole time, but it's 10xs when you have to stare at the robe that won't close and the belt that's dragging on the ground - cut us fat girls some slack.
