I had my first updo in over 10 years, and absolutely loved it. Kelly did an AMAZING job, and I cannot wait to return for a haircut when I'm in town in July. She did this really sleek Mad Men-era pony look on me, and it lasted all night. I also had my makeup done and was beyond impressed. I wish I had 10 more formal events to go to so that I could have Haley do my makeup. It was so light and classy - I felt super sophisticated with the hair and makeup combined. I may have my makeup done for my sister's bridal shower, just because. I'm that obsessed with the look she did. The total for both services before tip was $150, and it was entirely worth it.

The first inconvenience of the day was that I got a call around 8 AM for my 1 PM appointment that there was a scheduling error and that the stylist I was working with had a bridal party scheduled and forgot, so I would have to either reschedule or cancel. Totally get understand mistakes happen, we're only human. Unfortunately, I didn't see the voicemail until I woke up an hour later, and when I called they notified me that the 2 alternate times they mentioned I could reschedule to had been filled. The good news was that I was at least able to get an appointment scheduled, however I expressed my concerns that it would be cutting it super close to my event, and they reassured me I would be out of there on time. Alas, I got to my appointment 10 minutes early, and I wasn't seen for almost 30 minutes as they were running behind. The main reason I'm giving 4/5 stars is solely because I actually loved the haircut, regardless of everything else that happened, I got exactly what I wanted and the stylist did a great job of talking everything through before starting. The one thing that really surprised me was how much I disliked the blowout! This salon is almost known for their bouncy blowouts, so I was very surprised to see that by the time I walked to my car (5 minutes) my hair was flat! My hair holds curls/blowouts VERY well, so I'm not sure what happened, but I called the salon notifying them how disappointed I was as I had another event the following day and they let me come back the next day to touch it up (free of charge).

Also really wanted to highlight that I get nervous getting blowouts as someone with pretty curly hair as I've left salons in the past with poofy hair, so I made sure to mention it when making an appointment over the phone and was happy to hear that they had quite a few people that could work with textured hair!

I was a long time customer of the Royal Oak location with Lauren as my stylist. When she decided to offer a couple of days a week at the Birmingham location I jumped at the chance to begin scheduling my appointments there. It is a wonderfully relaxing environment that I appreciate after a long day of work. As for Lauren, she is simply the best. Attentive to my feedback (she inquires with every visit what's working and what may not be working with my hair) and she is always willing to offer suggestions and input. She also cut and colored my daughter's hair before she moved to Boston - and my daughter still talks about not having found a relationship with a stylist that matches the one she had with Lauren. If you're looking for a new stylist in Birmingham, I highly recommend you consider Lauren! read more

When God made Valentina, he was showing off. I am not kidding. She's not just a hairstylist, she's a technical master at her craft. You know you have a great stylist when you sit down in the chair, they listen to your input, and explain everything they are going to do before they do it. Totally fabulous. My hair comes out stunning every time, and with balyage a lot of times you have make touch-ups a routine... V is truly the master of the blend so even though you don't have to come back, you want to ;). The facility is drop-dead gorgeous and everyone is super respectful and kind--no attitudes and no judgment. The best salon I've ever been to, PERIOD. read more

I have been getting a blonde balayage with cut from Valentina for about a year now. Every blonde knows how hard it is to find a stylist who can actually give you the right color you're looking for and without severely damaging it. Valentina was a savior to my hair!!! She has given me the blonde I have continually looked for. She has actually gotten me to go 12-14 weeks in between colors as well ( I use to go every 8). Valentina respects your budget, doesn't push products or unnecessary treatments and gives great advice when needed. Anyone in need of a hairstylist who actually cares about you and your hair needs to check out Valentina. Love her!!! read more

I recently had a baby and ALOT of my hair was falling out. She gave me alot of helpful advise while I was going through this traumatic time.

I live in Miami, but come to Michigan quite frequently, about 6-8 times per year and have tried out a few Royal Oak and Birmingham area Salon's. This was my first visit to Alex Emilio in Birmingham, as it has just opened. I just love love love it! Staff is super friendly right when you walk in. I had Balayage/ base color/ cut done this time. I wanted to lighten up a little bit, but still have it look natural. Amazing! I'm super happy with my new look. It's definitely worth traveling ! My stylist was Jenny. read more
