I went in for the curly cut with Courtney and oh my goodness! It's pricy, but it's 100% worth it especially the first time around. I will definitely be coming back for the touch ups. I learned so much about caring for and styling my curly hair and I ended up absolutely gorgeous as well. Her energy is just so kind and engaging and she's very patient with the students learning the trade at her side. The products she used were nice and not overpriced at all, and she didn't do the super hard sell which I really appreciated. It made her seem so authentic and trustworthy. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. read more

Well, friends, laziness and a pandemic returned me to my previous growing out of hair habit. I had a bit of a haircut 1 1/2 years ago with my girl Courtney, but today was the day for another significant cut. I found The Hair We Share is still collecting human hair, making wigs in the US, giving them to cancer kids (not sold.... GIVEN) and never selling the hair for profit. Checked all the boxes. Courtney was thrilled to remove roughly 9-12 inches of hair (it's longer in the back) / 1.4 lbs of hair from my situation. As always, thrilled with the results and the blast I had in her chair. Let the whiplash begin! read more

I've been going to see Peter for years and schedule my life around his schedule because of his talent. Since he started at P La Salon I've gotten to know most of the staff, all are amazing. Roman runs a great ship. Highly recommend read more

A great salon with many talented stylist. Roman is amazing! Peter is top notch. Courtney is a curly hair specialist. Dougie is great with color. I've gone to Roman for years and I'm always getting asked who does my hair. Very happy with the people and classy environment at P.la read more

Courtney does an amazing job cutting wavy/curly hair so it can curl better ok it's own. She (and Anthony who assists her) made sure to explain all the steps so I could replicate the style from home. I didn't even know my hair could be that curly on it's own. They're both really nice and very skilled. She's the only person who cuts my hair. I had been having them remove weight from my hair which left a shelf like look from the back (which I didn't even know was happening.) Now my hair is still thinned out and curls much better. read more

I always go in with no idea what I want but wouldn't have it any other way because Jessica is the hair queen and helps me figure out what I need. Moved out of town and still make the drive because it's too good. Have sent all my best friends to her. Salon is great, good vibes, comfy shampoo chairs, good music, good location. #YessicaHair read more

After regrettably settling for a sub-par hair stylist in Birmingham for way too long, I decided to turn to Yelp for reviews on local salons in the Royal Oak area. I decided on Peter at P. La. Simply put, he's an expert at his craft. He takes the time to discuss ideas for cut and color in a way that makes you feel like you're in the best hands. And most importantly, he DELIVERS on his vision. And you won't be stuck there all day, because he's efficient, yet not rushed. He's confident, yet humble, and so kind. A true professional. If you're ready to up your hair game, go to Peter. Also, very fair pricing, considering the talent. read more

I looked specifically for a DevaCurl stylist and found that Courtney at P.La is a certified curly hair stylist. I waited a couple weeks for my appointment with Courtney and it was worth the wait! Courtney is kind and experienced and made my time in the salon super fun and enjoyable. She taught me how to care for my curls, and cut my hair to match the style I described to her. This is the best haircut I've ever had, and I will be coming back for all of my haircuts in the future! read more

I called to make an appointment this week and they told me that there was an opening at 2:15pm if I could get there within minutes. I asked the simple question (or so I thought) of how much my cut would be and the receptionist explained that it would be $45-$55. I told her I have long straight hair and she then replied again that the cost would depend on whether I would be getting a straight cut or layers and I replied I was getting a straight cut trim of about an inch. She said in reply the cost would be $45-55 again. I told her what makes it one or the other and she said it would depend on the hair dresser. I was annoyed and perturbed that this joker of a receptionist had zero sense on how to properly answer my question before I would commit to an appointment. How hard is this question to ask the stylist? I feel most salons try to nickel and dime their guests for every little service now. I find it annoying there is an extra charge for a wash and blow dry. I have a simple and uncomplicated hair, straight abs and inch cut, that's what I do always. These salons make it seem like I am asking for some architectural hair magnificence of a do. read more

ATTN CURLY GIRLS: Courtney is amazing!! I went to P.La salon after seeing that Courtney was a certified level 3 deva cut stylist. Meaning, she is skilled in cutting curly hair in its natural state. As someone who has never had a good haircut experience at a salon, Courtney was a breath of fresh air. Upon my arrival, we discussed my hair goals and concerns, and she gave me an overview of the process. She made sure to address my concerns as well as giving me some great feedback and advice for hair maintenance moving forward. I can't stress enough just how kind and attentive Courtney was during my cut. She really cares about her clients and making your curls pop in just the right way! Thank you for giving my curls the life they've been missing!! read more

I have been going to Peter here for as long as the salon has been open! He does such an amazing job with my hair I only need to go 2-3 times a year. The staff,atmosphere and attention to detail is amazing along with a great cut and color! read more

I had my hair done here about a month ago. I purposely scheduled a consultation because I wanted to MAKE SURE what I wanted could be possible. I am also licensed and I was referred here considering my specialty is nails and not hair. I showed pictures of what I wanted and it was made clear that it can be done. All of the signs were clear that the stylist didn't know what they were doing. It's pretty bad when other stylists go behind their back and whisper because they know the stylist just made mistakes. I wanted something close to an ombre (like what is shown) Obviously I was furious as you can see I didn't get anything I wanted. I was sitting with BLEACH in my hair for over 2 hours! (Bleach will dry after time and not work but still damage your hair) I gave them benefit of doubt. The manager knew my hair was messed up; when I called the next day they had no issue returning my my money but when I went back to get my hair fixed (just re looted back to natural) there was miss communication. Usually when your hair is bleached or lightened they can only deposit color with a protein filler on and be ok. Come to find out he just threw a Demi on there without telling me. I do not recommend. Some stylists aren't licensed but they are still working on customers hair. I was surprised at all the reviews- but then it depends on your stylist read more

I rarely give 5 star reviews on anything, but P'La has earned every star! In my opinion, Any 5 star review requires meeting and exceeding expectations on a variety of topics within any business model; service, products and product knowledge, personal attention, consistency, atmosphere and the overall customer experience from check in to checkout! I have been a client since they opened so I can check the box for consistency right from the start! I owe much of the credit to Kurt (my fav stylist) who consistently exceeds my expectations with service and the overall experience. His attention to detail and product knowledge is always catered to the unique needs of my very fine (naturally dishwater) blonde, locks. Cut and color are not an easy task when it comes to these finicky tresses which he has now mastered. He has taken the time to learn how my hair responds to different products, never sacrificing the health of my hair. Whenever I feel like trying something new he does it within it's natural limits. The atmosphere is awesome.... Lofty, trendy, artful space with lots of windows! After working long hours the last thing I want to do is sit in more artificial lighting. I believe this natural light is crucial to color. The light gives me confidence that we have achieved the right shade BEFORE I get into my car! If not, Kurt's willingness to make adjustments to satisfy this persnickety client is unmatched! I feel very welcome and accommodated upon arriving. Depending on my mood they have plenty of beverages to offer so (although I rarely wait) I wouldn't mind relaxing with tea or wine for a few minutes! The massage chairs at the wash bowl are a great relaxing feature especially since this is my favorite part. Everything about this salon is upscale, from top notch product lines (which smell and feel amazing) to the personalized service. Although the best part.... All of this has been achieved without the pretentious attitudes that tend to poison many salons! The prioritization of the client experience is apparent. Combine that with the obvious dedication to healthy, beautiful hair, and there you have it folks... P'La has my 5 stars rating without hesitation. Well done Roman! read more

I am so pleasantly surprised how safe I felt getting a haircut during the pandemic because of P.La! My stylist, Stephen C., did such an amazing job. He listened to my concerns about not having my hair cut in almost a year. He made my hair look so healthy and bouncy and happy. A little on the pricey end but we'll worth it for the physical safety I felt and the miraculous job they did on my hair. Also, parking is a breeze since they have their own parking lot. And it was easy to book an appointment! read more

Are you looking for a laid back place to feel pampered? Roman has created a space to make everyone feel beyond cared for, you will feel nurtured. You will leave with exceptional hair ( I'm always getting complements, thanks Roman!) AND a full soul. I attribute this to the exceptional listening skills of the staff. They really know how to communicate, to understand what you'd like to walk out the door with. Peter cuts both my kids hair and they always look like mini model/actors. He really knows hair. I feel that pricing is super affordable. $30ish for kids cut. All of the quality without the attitude. read more

I just love it here. Listen. I am a hair stylist snob. I used to drive to Windsor just to get a haircut. It is so nice to know that such a wonderful, nice salon is so close to my home. The Salon is so cute and chic. It almost feels like you are in some sort of NYC loft space. Oh..did I mention the shampoo bowls basically roll out like a bed and there is a TV for you to watch while you are getting washed out. Oh how I love my shampoo with a side of "Fixer Upper". Julia does my color and she is amazing. I have never received so many compliments on my hair color. She is a color master and I trust her with any shade she decides to put on my hair. As far as haircuts - my hair is curly (hence the driving to Windsor reference). I am super particular with my haircuts. You MUST know how to cut curly hair to touch my hair. LUCKILY P.La has a devacurl certified stylist. Courtney is a master with curls and if you have never had a devacut I strongly suggest sitting in Courtneys chair and letting her teach you all her curly hair secrets! Everyone here is super warm and welcoming - its no shock every time I am in I see someone I know. If you are looking for a new salon I absolutely suggest giving P.La a try! read more

I always look forward to my trips to P. La salon! Jessica J. started doing my hair years ago and I will never look back. I've seen her for haircuts, blowouts, highlights, balayages, treatments, you name it and she delivers every single time! She takes her time to really listen to me and what my hair goals and I feel like the most important client in the room when I'm in her chair. Even after highlights and balayages, my hair still feels better than ever! If you're looking for a new hairdresser, look no further. read more

I have been going to Jessica for over 10 years. Jessica is not only my hairdresser but has turned into a good friend! I always leave the salon with such a good attitude Jessica always makes sure I feel and look pretty every time I leave. Clean, organized and very friendly staff! :) read more

P.La is the place for the best service cut and color. Roman has been my stylist for nearly, let's just say forever, and now that he's opened his own salon I cannot say enough good things about it. I rarely give Roman direction and let him do whatever he wants to my hair and I've NEVER, in all these years, been disappointed, NEVER! He always gives me the most up-to-date color and style that fits my features and lifestyle. You'll be pampered at P.La. The stylists and staff work as a team to give you the best experience imaginable. The decor is stylish and beautiful (the hair washing massage chair is pretty awesome) and the staff is warm, friendly and talented. What more could you want. :) read more

Dave is the best! The staff is very professional and always kind. Great service and great products read more

Cate T's review is spot-on 100% perfect! Courtney does a fabulous job and is a certified Diva Curly Girl Stylist. All curly girls need to know the Curly Girl Handbook and visit Courtney. I have also visited other stylists who claim to be curly specialists, augh! Courtney is the best, I'm so blessed to have found her. read more

Oh, and I literally went in without any pictures... Sorta knew what I wanted.... And Peter made magic happen. I feel bad bc I was like, "um, er, long, warmish chocolate brown, style: I don't know, highlights, I think... But nothing too crazy... Just do whatever" lol!!!! But dannnnnngggggg. Very happy read more

This was a very relaxing and personable place. So relaxing and fun place to get your hair styles.

I'll probably give them an another shot, since this is a highly rated location, yet I can't help but complain for now.. Wednesday morning before work I pull in to book an appointment. I walk by and I had to take a second look to make sure if this is a high end, expensive salon or am I at a wrong place.. Screaming, misbehaved, unattended children everywhere... running under the chairs and next to the tools, disturbing peace, playing with styling stuff.. so unprofessional! Where's the upscale, relaxing atmosphere people review? I didn't bother to book on that day, I wouldn't want to have my hair done in such environment since I believe that part of the haircut cost is the luxury of relaxation and that wouldn't be delivered. read more

I cannot express how happy I am that I changed to P. La Roman was recommended by a makeup artist, and I was told he does great work with blondes. Roman has a big client base but I don't ever have a problem getting in. He sees late appts on Thursdays. There is a private parking lot, no need to feed the RO meters. Staff is personable and attentive. I would recommend this salon to all of my friends. read more

I love this salon! I have never been able to find a stylist who could both color my hair and cut it right! Roman is amazing. Great atmosphere and people! I adore their Massaging shampoo chairs. Such a treat! read more

I wouldn't trade it for anything else in Metro Detroit. Peter is a real professional, top of the line expert at color and cut. I come monthly and everyone I've run into here is a pleasure to be around. Julie is another gem. I am sitting in the super cozy waiting and relaxation area of P.La as I type this, the kind that's hard to come by in other salons. The interior is very stylish, accommodating and pleasing. Amazing salon experience. Highly recommended. Prices are very good for what you get. Color is about 60-80. Cut is 40 I think. And a glass of wine on the house! read more

Best place in Metro Detroit for a haircut. Chelsea and Peter have been cutting my hair for 4 years. They are incredible and $35 + $10 tip for a men's haircut is great. Love that you can have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee whilst you wait. Call there and book your appt today! You will be happy you did. read more

Love this salon! I always go to Brandon and he does a phenomenal job every time! The staff is very very friendly and easy to get along with. HIGHLY recommend this salon!! read more

Make sure you ask for your coat back. They will forget. I called to make sure my left jacket was there and turns out they donated it even after I had notified them and told them it was mine. I gave them a second chance and recently got my hair done. I asked for a wash and trim, but the stylist didn't dry my hair? The cloth was taken off me and I was ushered to the receptionist. I was charged $75 for a trim and my hair didn't even get dried. I walked out of there confused and disappointed to say the least. Won't be returning. read more

First visit to P. La was over a year ago, where I received literally the best blowout of my life by Roman. Not sure why I didn't drop everything then and become his client, but I digress. Fast forward to last night when I received the best haircut EVER by Roman. I work in the cosmetic industry but when it comes to my hair, I'm cheap. Coughing up $70 for a haircut (yes, I know that this is standard pricing) was not easy for me. Worth every penny. He could charge $200 and I'd pay it. What impresses me most is how well everyone works as a team at this salon. From being greeted at the desk, coat being taken, drink being served, hair washed, etc I was never left alone or waiting. I felt pampered but also appreciated that my time was respected - I was in and out in under an hour. Coming from someone in the industry- this salon does everything right. read more

Wow. I cannot say enough great things about P.La ! I started coming here based off a recommendation from a friend and have been coming here for almost two years. Everyone at the salon is so friendly and kind, and my stylist, Danyelle Ruggirello, is phenomenal at what she does. I am so thankful that i found such a wonderful atmosphere at P.La. Thanks to Danyelle, Roman, Peter, Julia, and Courtney for the wonderful service over the years. Danyelle, you rock ! read more

I'm a new comer Left another salon in a Royal Oak with a very money hungry owner that didn't care about relationships I had been there 12 years I LOVE this new place what a great find Roman the owner incredible with a blow out and I have crazy hair Stay tuned for the color review in a couple weeks I doubt I'll be disappointed read more

I was very excited to make an appointment with a devacurl specialist. The stylist was booked and I had to make an appointment a month and a half in advance. I was charged a $30 deposit to hold my appointment. I received a confirmation call 24 hours before my appointment (which was booked incorrectly). When I made the appointment, I penciled it in my schedule while I was on the phone with the receptionist. I strategically booked the appointment around my work schedule. When I got the confirmation call with the wrong date, I was unable to make the appointment. I understand that receptionists make mistakes that are inconvenient, we are all human. When trying to set up another appointment, I was told that I would loose my $30 deposit and needed to make another $30 deposit to hold my new appointment time. Like I said, I was not upset that there was clearly a mistake made by the receptionist, but then they have the audacity to make me pay for her mistake? The women who spoke to me was very rude, saying it was the policy! She admitted that mistakes can be made when scheduling but I still will be charged since I didn't give them enough notice! I was planning on going to the appointment, when it was originally scheduled!!!! Needless to say, I will not be going to this salon and I will tell everyone I know not to as well. Both of my sisters have appointments scheduled that will now be cancelled because of their poor "policies" and rude front desk staff. read more

P. La is the only salon I wholeheartedly trust with my hair. The stylists are all extremely talented and do an amazing job with highlights, cuts, and styling. The front staff are kind and courteous, and do their best to accommodate clients' schedules. After moving out of state I went to a highly regarded salon and ended up with damaged, over processed hair and one of the worst hair cuts I've ever had. A couple weeks later I had a 12 hour layover in Detroit and P. La graciously fit me in on a very busy day. I left with a beautiful cut that made my recent highlights look even better. I highly recommend P. La for all your hair needs! read more

Roman is the best colorist I've ever had! I have been a client of his since 1997. I would never go anywhere else.

I came in with good reviews from friends. I have long black thick hair and wanted to lighten my hair up a bit but still stay natural looking . I made it clear that I did not want blonde in my hair or streaky highlights. I paid $200 dollars for a job that I hate. I could have got the same thing done at a mall salon for way cheaper. It looks streaky uneven and is becoming orange. The environment is nice but I do not feel like I was listened to or taken into consideration when I showed my stylist what I wanted. read more

Do you have curly hair? If so, Courtney is IT!!! Look no further. I've had deva cuts done before but none have ever even held a candle to the outcome of Courtney's cut. I can tell she's beyond knowledgable in safe products and clear instruction for curly hair and the best way to care for it. Being that I am already entirely familiar with the curly girl method, we didn't need to discuss product use, application, maintenance etc., for me. We went straight to discussing what I had hoped for from the haircut. I asked Courtney to keep my length, she did just that while still evening it out around the bottom. I asked her to give me some shape, she did even better than that; she gave me a perfectly balanced shape AND way more volume! After days of styling my new cut with my old reliable products at home, my curls, cut and volume look better than ever before. I even had a friend ask me, "Is it possible that your hair looks longer than it did before the haircut?". There was no higher praise could have asked for. I honestly don't think in all my 45 years, I've ever been this happy with a haircut. I couldn't be happier to have found Courtney. read more

Beautiful Salon. Roman did a wonderful job with the build out. It doesn't feel stuffy or pretentious. The space is elegant and relaxed. Try to sit in the massage chair as they wash your hair. You won't want to get up. If you are looking for a new salon and stylist, don't be afraid. You will not be disappointed in your experience or hair. Prices are very reasonable as well. read more
