13 reviews for 6 Salon
I regularly get my hair cut at 6 Salon. Yes I was attracted to the place for its hip modern vibe (when I heard Morrissey on their speaker system I knew I was going to like the place), but I stayed for a particular stylist, Jennifer R. She is very skilled at cutting and coloring hair and is a great conversationalist. I would recommend her to anyone!
This is also a good salon for men who want a nice haircut since you pay nearly half the price of women, my cuts hover around $35. They are always busy, but have a ton of stylists, so you can walk-in if you need a cut at the last minute.
Now with any Salon there's going to be different personalities. For my second visit to Six I did a walk-in with a different stylist who not only did a poor job, but had a holier-than-thou attitude which almost turned me off the place. But I'm glad I returned and get my hair cut by Jennifer. 5-stars for Jennifer, 4 stars for the Salon in general.
6 IS THE PLACE TO BE! I have been going to 6 for a few years and let me just say...they are way past a 6 on a scale from 1-10. From customer service, to the talent they have I have yet to come accross another salon like it. The staff at 6 is perfect; from Heidi arching my brows to Maria's lasting manicures and to multiple stylists making my hair look like im walking on the runway. DJ on thursday nights open until midnight while light apps being served to me. what else can anyone ask for????? I have never had a problem making an apt because the lovely front desk girls always accomodate my needs. One of my stylists even came in one hour early just for me (had to catch a flight and wanted my hair to be professionally done before my vaca)
they are awesome!
I have had my hair cut, blown out, make-up applied and eye brows done at 6 in RO and Birmingham. I was pleased with the services. Lauren cut my hair and did a good job. Prices for that were reasonable for the area and type of salon it is.
Heidi has done my make-up and eye-brows. She does a great job, but it is SO expensive.
Heidi literally spent 15 minutes on my make-up and charged me $75. She also made a comment to someone else in a group that she was also doing their make-up for that I " was just having engagement pictures taken". Gee, thanks for making me feel non-important. The other thing that irritated me is that I already booked an outside place to do my bridesmaids' hair and make-up for our wedding and Heidi continuously bashed my choice and made me feel like I made some huge mistake. I just thought it was unprofessional. She had her vendor pitch to counter everyone I told her I was using.
I made an appointment 3 days before the actual day. I waited 30 minutes, because they said they did not have my appointment. The stylist seemed disinterested, did not offer any ideas. I have thick hair and i asked her if she could thin it and she said she did not know how. At the end of 3 hours.. i end up looking like i had my finger in a socket.. as i have thick hair (am Indian), so big hair does not go well with me. Heidi did my eyebrows, all the while trying to sell me makeup..She did a good job but i just wish she would shut up about her products.. At the end of the day, this was the first salon that i had been to, when i ended up feeling that i had wasted my time and money.
I had the worst experience I've ever had at a salon at Royal Oak's 6.
I found the salon to be too busy for me: a constant whir of motion rather than a relaxing experience. When I first came in, the receptionist was busy talking to a stylist and didn't check me in, so I wasn't sure what to do. When I met with my stylist, we spoke about what we wanted briefly, and she didn't say another word to me for the next two hours of my service. At one point the bleach began to run out of the foils on my head, and she didn't say anything about it as she ghetto-rigged other foils over my head to try to save the rest of my hair.
I wasn't pampered at all here. I was barely even spoken to. I worked at a salon in Lansing for five years, so I have an idea of how a salon should be run ... this was not it.
Okay. so they just opened up one in Birmingham which is the one I went to, and I must say I was definitely pleased.
A couple of years back, I went to the Royal Oak one and liked what I saw.
So when the time came for a cut, I knew I had to try it out again. I just called up and they were able to get me an appointment the NEXT day. Colleen cut my hair... and wow. BEST hairdid I've ever received.
She knew exactly what I wanted and executed.. a major fete for most stylists.
She also offered some tips on hair management since I am a little lost in that category.
I am definitely going back!
I miss 6 Salon so much. It was such a great salon. I would still go there if I wouldn't have moved across the country. If you need a recommendation for a stylist, request Lauren, she's amazing.
I was excited to go here for a haircut given the great press. Granted they may have had an off day, but I was not impressed. I had to wait a half hour after my scheduled appointment to actually be seen. When the hairstylist led me to the chair, I had to use my hands to brush mounds of cut hair off the seat. The cut itself was flat and I walked out of there actually looking worse than when I walked in. I wouldn't go back.
I feel like it's pertinent that I be upfront about my poor hair care before continuing with this review. Although I wash my hair daily, I tend to be quite (perhaps far too) lax about brushing my hair and following up with the 6-8 week trim appointments. As a result, my stylist at 6 Salon (Kristina) only sees me once a season.
The environment--everything from the furniture to the assistants to the stylists--at 6 Salon is nothing but hip and is enough to make even the dullest person feel like a member of the elite.
The stylists are extremely professional and always consult the customer before they cutting commences.
Beyond offering the latest in hair-trends, 6 Salon also features a make-up artist (who also performs hair removal) and a manicurist.
Although there are many positive features at 6 Salon (they have my loyalty), a few negatives do exist. Firstly, the prices are uniform (starting at around $50 for a cut), however, when getting color and the stylist determines a trim is necessary, the customer is charged for a full hair cut when only 1/4 of an inch or hair is extracted. Also, the better the stylist the longer the wait. Never worry about being 5 minutes late because it's likely that your stylist is still working on their last customer.
An added bonus is that 6 caries a variety of up-scale hair products and accessories and can refer to which one is best for the procedure they performed. More so, most stylists are fairly honest and can point you toward a drug-store alternative to the product if you're not interested in spending upwards of $20 on shampoo (Pantene Pro-V is my personal favorite).
Whether you want your hair done, nails done, makeup done, or all three, you can come up to 6 Salon and get pampered like the princess (or prince) you are. I like the fact they offer snack trays, wine and refreshments throughout your visit and even have a DJ on certain days. I also hear they won the "Salon Design of the Year" in 2007, which means it is even more accredited than these reviews on Yelp. Check out the website to get more information on the prices...it's definitely not cheap.
I absolutely love everything about this salon. The atmosphere is very cool but very casual, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and I love my stylist. I get my hair cut and highlighted by Jim Cains, and I must say, the man is a miracle worker. This is by far the best hair style I've ever had!
Tony Tony Tony has done it again. Guys, this is not a fu-fu salon, please feel free to book as many hair appointments as possible with Tony. Make sure to ask him about the secret password to the discotech underneath the salon.
Stellar salon! Fanastic atmosphere, highly trained staff, fun = great styling and experience wrapped into one visit. Also highly recommended is the manicurist, Maria. Her service is head and shoulders above any of the other nail places in RO.
