Beauty & Spas in Hamtramck

Flip Salon’s staff of Vidal Sassoon and Bumble and bumble–trained stylists boast years of hair-care experience, especially after a little wine at dinner. Amidst a friendly, vintage-tinged atmosphere, these tress technicians will use high-quality products such as Kemon and Bumble and bumble to dispense expert haircuts ($30–$37 for men, $50–$75 for women), highlights ($70–$95), blow-dry stylings ($30–$50), scalp treatments ($15–$20), and up-dos ($50–$70).

Pure NV Salon & Day Spa keeps Detroit-area minds and muscles mollified with a soothing mosaic of full salon services. A mane-molding menu of hair services keeps locks lopped, styled ($27–$32) and colored ($35 and up), while the one-hour relaxation massage smoothes over bunched-up back dough with gentle kneads and pepperoni slices. The relaxation massage is tailored to every individual’s specific needs, and the value can be used toward a more expensive massage, such as therapeutic or hot stone. The anti-aging facial utilizes a wrinkle-wrangling serum to restore skin's natural moisture and vibrancy, and the spa manicure/spa pedicure combo pampers feet and hands with cuticle treatments, nail filing and polishing, and soothing massages.

Alex Emilio Salon, founded by friends Alex Lekocaj and Emilio Giglio in 2001, offers an inedible buffet of beautifying and body-bettering salon services. Metal-band roadies preparing to begin an accounting career can tidy up with a men's haircut ($25+), while female fugitives from justice can adjust their aliases with a haircut ($40+) and a tint ($40+). Hands hampered by too many midnight games of no-glove baseball can delight their digits with a manicure ($20+), and feet still scuffed up from last week's borderline-illegal April Fool's prank can achieve 10-toed tranquility with a spa pedicure ($50+).

The Wow Smile Express teeth-whitening system is a safe and painless way to brighten your smile and feign a darker haircut. Unlike at-home whitening products that only address surface discoloration, Wow Smile's cosmetic treatment tackles both surface stains and deep-seated tooth regrets, targeting the dingy evidence of coffee, tea, cola, red wine, and tobacco, a cocktail known in some circles as "the filibuster." During your 20-minute treatment, a Wow Smile–trained professional will apply a special gel that will catapult water and radical hydroxyl ions into the tubules of your teeth, breaking apart stains to reveal a smile two to six shades brighter.

Michigan Advanced Aesthetics skin spa offers the latest advancements in aesthetic treatments and procedures in a very comfortable, professional, and unique private setting.

When patients enter Dr. Mary Sue Stonisch’s office, she can give them straight, white teeth within minutes—or at least the appearance of straight, white teeth. Her Smile Now technology creates a custom covering that looks like a row of teeth, which she then places over patients’ real teeth to show the potential results from her many cosmetic-dentistry services.

Equipped with such inventive tools, a degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, and an accreditation fromthe American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Stonisch beautifies teeth at Faircourt Dental Smile Enhancement Studio. She and her staff whiten enamel, treat TMJ, and vanquish bacteria during laser cleanings. Their office resembles a spa, with complimentary beverages and aromatic scents that complement heated neck pillows—a more achievable way to warm one’s neck than getting put in a headlock by the Human Torch.
