Lincoln Park, MI Beauty and Salons

A manicurist with 14 years of nailcare experience pampers paws at her salon in Plymouth's Old Village. A salon state-certified for its sterilization standards, Robin’s Tips N Toes Nail Salon’s eponymous technician deploys new files and buffers on each mission to beautify her clients' nails in a bright studio kept peacefully quiet by the stern stares of a librarian minotaur. A vast lineup of pedicures, manicures, and soothing treatments awaits upper and lower appendages, and Robin welcomes appointment setters from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday.

The experienced stylists at Michael Anthony Salon beautify clients with an array of services for the hair and nails, plus massages and tanning to pamper bodies. Complimentary cups of espresso or glasses of wine enhance the relaxation during spa pedicures, facials, or japanese hair straightening. The stylists fix hair and makeup for special occasions such as weddings, proms, or heists at a wedding or prom.

Salon Bellissimo honors the timelessness of true beauty by decorating its spa like an Ancient Roman bath with concrete urns, great columns, and a statue of Hebe, the goddess of beauty. And this reverence for history is fitting, since owner Cecilia Sammons has been in the industry for more than 30 years herself. Today, she and her staff of stylists, nail technicians, and makeup artists transform clients using modern haircare products from L’Oréal and Moroccanoil and nail polish scraped directly off Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.

As stylists orbit patrons, their shears purr through hair and the dirty-blond hardwood floors click beneath their heels. Fresh flowers sway, as though nodding to the lilting rhythm as the aesthetes coif locks, using natural and organic products from brands including AG Hair whenever possible. At the salon, prices are set on a tiered system to reflect each employee’s level of training and ability to refrain from singing "Sweet Caroline" into a hairbrush. Clover Salon constantly encourages each stylist to advance to the next level of know-how, and the team also performs waxing, nailcare, and makeup services.

The staffers at The Makeup Loft want to bring out their clients’ best features with each makeup application, not camouflage them. They describe their makeup style as equal parts fresh and polished, and they take each patron’s personality and style into consideration as they create new looks. They take their services on the road for weddings and at-home beauty parties and also perform hairstyling, skincare, and waxing services.

The technicians and aestheticians at Hometown Laser Clinic & Spa wield focused light to eliminate cellulite or fat, tighten the skin, and remove hair. They also pamper bodies with less invasive spa treatments, such as facials that utilize Canadian-based Dr Renaud skin products, the same ones supplied to the 2010 Oscars. And no matter what the treatment—body contouring with radio frequency or a basic massage—aestheticians provide free consultations to answer questions about what to expect and swap needlepoint advice.
