After my stylist retired, I started going to Mallory, another fabulous stylist here, and I couldn't be more pleased with my haircuts and the attention to my haircare needs. The salon is clean and attractive, with good spacing between chairs -- which has been important to me during the pandemic. The front desk is also pleasant and efficient, and great about scheduling or rescheduling when I call. Another bonus: The parking at Bianchi's is free and convenient -- which you can't say about many Royal Oak businesses!

I had my appointment with Liz, the owner, today, and received an amazing haircut! My fine hair has never been this voluminous! My hair feels so light and healthy. Liz is fantastic and really goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I appreciate their Covid safety measures and masks are required inside the salon. I'm still new to the area and I'm so happy to have found my salon for all my hair needs! They also offer massage and nail services. I have an appointment next month for a mani and pedi. Can't wait!

I went to another stylist in Troy that did a less than great job and left patches everywhere. Not only did Angela know exactly what to do to fix it she also used all the same products my stylist back home did which was amazing because I didn't have to go out and buy new products. I've only been to her two or three times so far but I know that I'll be going solely to her as long as I'm living in MI. She is a gem and worth every penny!

Her daughters, Quill and Gwen, work alongside her, and they're just as gifted and personable. You can feel the family pride in the place, and it makes every visit feel personal. The rest of the team is outstanding too. What sets Chemistry apart is how seriously they take education. Morgan mentors her stylists through weekly classes and a structured career-growth program, and brings in national and international educators. You can see it in the results: everyone is polished, current, and confident. They listen, give honest advice, and deliver cuts that still look great weeks later. I also love that they do things responsibly, with clean, sustainable products and a recycling program that keeps nearly all of the salon's waste out of landfills. It's a premium salon worth every penny. If you want a haircut done right by people who treat you like family, Chemistry Salon is the place. Highly recommend!

I'm very picky about my hair and am learning what I like as I wanted to go shorter. At my first cut short with Dream, it was storming and the power went out at the salon and we didn't get to do the finishing touches, so she gave me a free product had me come back a couple days later for a complimentary cut where I decided I wanted to go even shorter and get bangs. I still was not satisfied with the cut (let me clarify that Dream is an amazing stylist and did exactly what I asked her to do, but I wanted to pick an owner's brain about what would look good on me), so I requested an apt with an owner. Tony got me in the next day and we took it even shorter and he cut it with a razor. He made it look exactly like the picture I showed him but I still was not satisfied with it on me so I requested to come back again for a pixie and he got me in a few days later. I LOVE how the pixie looks on me. It just took me four separate haircuts to get there. I only paid once for the initial cut. And after the last cut Tony still said to give him a ring if anything else needs to be done. This is pristine customer service. Everyone I interacted with was so patient, accommodating and supportive as I learned how I wanted my hair to look. Additionally, both salons (Clawson and Birmingham) are super clean and just cool spaces to hangout when getting a haircut. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend.
