Ive been struggling to find a good hair stylist since I moved to Michigan. I saw the amazing reviews about Jen and gave her a call. From the beginning, she was extremely kind and understanding and detailed the process. She also told me up front how much it would cost which is nice for someone who never carries cash. Ive been so insecure about my hair and she FINALLY made me feel confident again! The room was clean, she was on time and got me in and out within hour and a half. Cant wait to go back. :)

Starting my business at Hair Essential Salon Studios is the best decision ever! My experience with meeting Andrea, the owner, was the best. She was warm and welcoming. She explains everything in detail. She gave me all the information I needed to get my business started and how to build my brand. The salon studios are very upscale. The environment and staff is warm, welcoming and professional. The best part is I get to give my clients that special one on one service that they deserve. I want my clients to feel extra special and make their visit feel personal. I am very pleased with the decision to start my business at H.E.S.S. l know my business will grow and be very successful here!

I had my business inside hair essentials (graceful elegance Ann Arbor hair braiding) for more than a year. I have been very pleased and impressed by the high level of cleanliness and costumer service. The manager is very discret and respectful, yet she is attentive and prompt at satisfying our needs. I left due to family relocation and i already miss that place. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to start their business. This is a good place to build your costumer base. Thank you for everything !!!

Very Beautiful Studio & Catrina of Appointed Beauty is an excellent stylist. I was recommended to her & was very pleased. I got my hair colored, wash, press & curled. I was in & out no wait time & she did a fabulous job on my hair. I also took the little girl I care for & got her hair braided ( she’s very well with toddlers) & her mom couldn’t stop thanking me for her daughter’s lovely hair style.

I needed a make-up artist for my wedding, it was hard finding a salon that could accommodate six brides maid including myself. I reached out to Hair Essentials and multiple salons called me back. Everyone was friendly and helped me in a timely manor with hair, nails and makeup. Our groomsmen even got their hair cuts at the barber shop. I cant thank you all enough for making it an even more amazing day.

Appointed beauty studios had me feeling very welcome and comfortable. I made an appointment with Catrina and she was amazing. I got a cut, wash and style and I left extremely pleased. She also gave me pointers on how to keep my hair looking fresh and what can help my hair grow. I would highly recommend Catrina at Appointed beauty studios.

I was there with a friend and we received excellent service at Appointed Beauty Studio. She received a wash, deep condition and flat iron. I myself bought a couple of pieces of jewelry and her shea butter mix in strawberry lemonade, which smelled heavenly! Catrina was very professional and made us feel at home. I will definitely be back again!

Very soothing, professional, and an inviting atmosphere. My experience at Hair Essential were all those things and then some. The staff there makes you feel at home and comfortable. I recently received a massage there, and honestly it was one of the best Ive ever received. My massage therapist was Mrs. J, and she was excellent. I was so relaxed during the massage, I fell asleep several times. I recommend this establishment to any and everyone

Appointed Beauty Studio is the best!! I had the pleasure of meeting Catrina about two weeks ago when I brought my daughter in to get her hair braided (cornrows). I recently took another child in on Saturday (cornrows again) and both times I left happy with their hair. Atmosphere is relaxed and the place is nice and clean and Catrina is very nice!

Review №24

Tried scheduling a consult as I hadnt been there before. Calls are routed through a dispatch center??? Everytime I asked for a manager they said the mgr is unavailable can we take your number and have them call you back. It never happened. Called today and explained to the dispatch operator that Im not from the area and would like some idea of who can perform the services Id be seeking. Without asking the operator assumed Id be getting braids because I stated that I was seeking someone familiar with African American hair. The dispatch operator said they didnt have a consult option, I suggested having a stylist call me ( THERE IS NO MANAGER) a stylist would have understood my questions. I told the operator that I was very close to giving a bad review of my experience thus far to which she replied well why do you want to come here What a good rep would have done is find out which salon I would be visiting, contact a stylist, tell them my concerns and have them call me. I wasnt a high profile enough client to be treated that way. Wouldnt recommend this to anyone.

Review №26

Hair Essentials Salon Studios is has a delightful and unique set up that allows many services to be more private and give that one on one feeling without the pressure of feeling rushed by other customers leering at their watch and back to you. Chez Michelle is absolutely the BEST. Her product lines are current. Her technique is flawless. The length of time her work lasts is well beyond what I thought was normal. She listens to what you want and delivers. Her knowledge is vast and loves a challenge of producing that color by layering just the right amount in the correct way. Until she retires, she will be the only one I ever use again. Period. Thanks Michelle!!!

Appointed Beauty Studio was the best experience that Ive had in a long time. I received a wash, blow dry and straighten by Catrina Canty. My hair normally goes back into an afro after two days. I am happy to say that it has been almost a week and my hair is still soft, shiny and straight. I would recommend Appointed Beauty Studio to anyone. The environment is very clean and professional.Monica C. - Satisfied Customer

Review №31

I have been coming here for years. Loyal customer. Erica in room 1 did my hair. An amazing job for years. Now she just no call no shows. I drive an hour to see her, because I love the way she does my hair and she has been no showing for sometime now. At least a month, but this has been happening all year. Customers are even knocking on doors close to hers to see if shes even been in. They all say no. This isnt new or recent. She has lost a lot of business because of this. Completely unprofessional. Show up when you book a client, BE THERE! Because thats your JOB! As far as Im concerned she owes my $31.05 for the drive that I made to her and then back home. DO NOT COME TO SEE HER! COMPLETELE WASTE OF TIME. DOES NOT SHOW UP. WONT ANSWER PHONE CALL. AND WILL NOT TEXT YOU BACK. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

Review №37

I had been contacting the owner, Andrea, for over 2 years! Calling to find out information, to see if I could tour the building. Each time I talked myself out of it. I would just go online and look from there. Well, a couple weeks ago I decided to go. I was totally amazed! The level of professionalism, just of the staff, was impressive. Very friendly, helpful...and the atmosphere of the building was just beautiful. It was very elegant in there. Fast forward a week in, and Im now leasing a suite within the building. I was completely floored at all of the things Andrea offered to set me up to encourage my success from her end. You definitely dont go in feeling alone. Being a first time business owner, I had many questions, times of excitement, and times of nervousness. Andrea was very patient and thorough with everything! I love my suite! I love the concept. ..I havent even worked my first Saturday yet, but there will be complimentary donuts for clients....I mean what more can a girl ask for?! I am proud to own a business within this business. It is truly a dream come true!!!

Be careful, discovered these are independent stylists not really connected. Would never use this stylist again. Wish I remembered her name! Sent her pictures (per her request)of what I wanted & she didnt come even close.... either hair cut or color. When I asked for a correction she made me pay a second time! Should have walked out.

Hair Essentials is an establishment that displays excellence on every level and also gives one a comfortable and relaxed environment. Myself as well as my two nieces was rendered optimum service by Catrina Canty. I received a press and curl and my nieces received braids. Catrina was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the selected hair products and also high level relating to a fittting style for us. She was also patient, strategic and efficient in terms of washing, conditioning, blowing and pressing. This was an experience where we were easily amazed.#appointedbeautystudio

I am a very happy client of Chez Michelle part of the Hair Essential Studios (H.E.S.S.). Michelle has been my manicurist for many years and I love her work. Michelle is very service oriented and provides high quality work. The atmosphere in her individual studio at H.E.S.S. is inviting and comfortable. Ive been impressed with the unique studios and the cleanliness of the entire Salon. I would HIGHLY recommend Chez Michelle in Studio 13.

Review №58

The lady we had do my daughters hair was nice enough but spoke in another language that I could not speak almost the entire time with the other gal. That is a bit uncomfortable.The final product though was what made me give this review. The stitching from the sew in weave was so obvious that I took out the extensions as soon as we got home.There were two african american ladies who came in while we were there and their hair looked great. Perhaps our stylist was not familiar with putting in hair extensions in white hair? But she should not have said she could if she was not sure she was capable.

If I could give Fatou 10000000 stars I would! I drove up from Ohio to have her braid my hair, she did such an amazing job. I absolutely love it, she is so nice and easy to talk to, very humble. I did not feel uncomfortable at all. She wanted to make sure I was happy every step of the way. What I liked best is that her studio is intimate, you don’t have all these other people surrounding you and watching you, listening to your conversation, or judging you, especially when you get your hair braided it’s an all day event so being in a comfortable environment is a HUGE perk! Fatou is so brilliant and very talented she has totally mastered her craft! I got my confidence back and that is thanks to Fatou! My hair was damaged from heat and a straightening treatment that I had and my hair was starting to fall out do high stress;I feel beautiful again! I have gotten so MANY compliments about how great it looks. I HIGHLY recommend her and will be definitely going back to her! - Amanda

I am a client of Jennifer Little at Jelle Hair Design. I have never met a stylist more professional and knowledgeable about their craft. I usually am very skeptical to use stylists when it comes to my hair care, cuts and relaxers but Jeniffer eased my mind right away! She gave me tips on how to manage my hair out of the salon, she explains products and how hair grows and works, and she actually CONSULTS and lets me know the pros and cons of bleaching, cutting, etc with my hair and its type. The Salon is very clean, neat, professional and the privacy is so relaxing. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and honest place.
