At Michael Thomas Salon, muted yellow walls exude a warm glow reflected in the friendly demeanors of skin-savvy aestheticians and stylists specializing in hair color. Tress tamers revamp outdated hairdos with services that include cutting and coloring, as well as a modern re-texturizing technique that ousts frizz without unrolling curls or forcing brushes to work unpaid overtime. For skin, facials, waxing, and makeup unearth photo-ready kissers, with an ultra-gentle peel harnessing the doting powers of Aveda's All Sensitive products. Beautification unfolds in an airy space with weathered hardwood floors and a high bar where waiting patrons can riffle through magazines or practice sliding empty steins without breaking them.
