Erin D’Angelo The Salon is a première, upscale salon experience in the city of Detroit. You expect the suburbs to have the best if the best, state of the art salon, but you get that at this salon on W. McNichols. Granted, the outside leaves much to be desired. The salon is next to an abandoned bldg with a for hanging off of it with debris on the side walk. On the other side is a barber shop that shares the front parking area, so depending on the time of day, you may have to park on the side street or behind the salon. There is a bus stop right out front that takes up a good 2 parks that of course, you can’t park at. once you step inside, though, you are entering a relaxing, pampering oasis. The interior is that of a loft, with the open ceiling look. The floor is half dark hardwood and half linoleum tile. The colors are neutral — brown, tan, black chairs, lovely artwork, a wonderful, leather bound bench to sit on while you’re under the wall suspended dryer. There is smooth jazz piped throughout, courtesy of xm radio. You are also welcome to Keurig coffee and bottled water. As with most salons, don’t expect to be in and out in the blink of an eye. That’s my only gripe. But again, what salon has you in and out and still provides thorough service with quality results? I feel like a million bucks when I leave here. That’s worth the time it takes.
