ROUGE Makeup & Nail Studio

All around a fantastic place. It is very clean, you regularly see the ladies working here dipping their tools in cleaner, and washing all their materials. They have a very environmentally friendly belief that gives any customer the opportunity to feel positive about it. And this place is just run by the sweetest staff, whether your in a rush or feeling chatty, these ladies understand and always have funny stories if you have the time!
I started going here almost 2 years ago for Myranda’s eyebrow threading (no one compares, she is fantastic!) since then I have evolved into trying and falling in love with more and more of their services.
I got my prom makeup done here, and it was beautiful. As someone with sensitive skin, I was worried about getting my makeup professionally done, that they would use too much and my face would react funny here at Rouge they use light organic makeup that gave me NO irritation at all! Even better than the day to day stuff I wear from MAC.
I recently switched to using Rouge’s sold Eve Organics foundation and love it, my skin has cleared up from it! I also use the face wash and night cream that Rouge sells by Eve and it’s fantastic.
Additionally my mom and I recently went to get manicures here at Rouge. They were fantastic. The experience is made to be exceptionally relaxing and calming, with more organic polish. The polish they use «Spiritual Gold» is comparable to a gel polish, without the UV light, and having to destroy your nails to get it off! It has lasted me over 2 weeks now and still looks fantastic.

Great place for eye brow threading. Myranda has a good eye for shaping eyebrows perfectly. The nail services are comparable to Studio Nails and inexpensive.
Rouge sells custom jewelry and it’s own line of make-​up.

This is the go to place for the most incredible pedicure I have ever had! Jenny is hands down. The ambiance is so welcoming when you walk in the door, from jewelry, to handmade mineral make up. Jenny, was knowledgable, and took her time with my rough feet! I felt like a Queen for a whole hour and a half she worked on them. Thank you Rouge, I will be a repeat customer!

Marji and the Rouge ladies are the best. Every visit feels like a fun time with your best friend/​sister. Marji not only gives amazing pedis and manis, but provides a wonderful service that you can’t get anywhere else… a relaxed mind. She recently serviced me and my mom on our gals day at the spa and mom left feeling refreshed and glowing. I have not seen her this happy in a long time. Thank you!
Ps. They have an awesome organic line of make up and facial products.

When it comes to eyebrow threading, it’s true, Myranda is amazing!
I am a crazy female when it comes to my brows, in other words, I won’t let you get near them if you have bad brows yourself.
I only thread my brows, try and put some wax on them see what will happen to you…
So I searched and searched and searched for an eyebrow threader here in Detroit, because once again I was traumatized after leaving my last eyebrow threader in Orlando (Rashimi I miss you).
Myranda’s name came up quite a few times at Rouge.
So I took a deep breath, and quite possibly a xanax and I walked into Rouge.
Myranda is awesome, calm and fun to talk too. She is also professional and does a thorough EVEN (super important people when we are dealing with eyebrows) job!
It is more expensive than any other eyebrow place I have ever been too in New York and Florida. However, since I walk out of there each time with great looking eyebrows, I’m willing to pay the extra.

The place is lovely. The «express» pedicure took about 90 minutes… too long in my opinion. My toes began to chip after about 3 days.
For the price, I expected it to last much longer.

I definitely will be back. They take their time and pamper you. They go out of their way to make you feel comfy. I especially love that they speak English. I think I have found my new home for nails. I’m taking my girls next week.

We came into town for a wedding, and I wanted to take my mother-​in-​law and my two little girls out to get pedicures before the festivities. I’m from out of town, so I checked Unilocal for reviews. Even though it was the week of, I was able to call and get all four of us in at one time. Denitra and Michelle were both super sweet with my little girls (ages 4 and 6, both at the salon for the first time!), even when my 4 year old accidentally scuffed up the polish about five times while waiting for it to dry. =) I liked that the set up is actually real arm chairs and individually cleaned tubs for soaking the feet. They did a great job of cleaning them out between each of us, too.
Cute little place, friendly service on the phone and when we got there, nice, less smelly polishes, and a cozy vibe. The scrub, massage, and painting were all great, and I picked up a mini bottle to refresh my toes. It’s been three weeks, and I’m just now needing it. Glad to know about this place! Hopefully we’ll make this an annual excursion every time we’re in MI to visit Grandma!

Rouge is WONDERFUL and I wish I’d found it sooner. Light-​years away from the rush-​rush, impersonal atmosphere of other nail salons. The cutest little building with a funky retro vibe.
I’ve been there twice so far. My first visit was for a deluxe pedicure with Marji. She was genuinely kind and attentive, put me completely at ease, and made it clear that she wanted the service to be a special time for me. The skin treatments smelled fabulous and the warm stone massage was heavenly. My cuticles and nails look great and she found a polish color that looks terrific.
My second visit was for a facial with Karen. Heavenly. You’re reclined in a special chair on a soft cushion under heated blankets. A series of skin treatments, facial and hand massage, warm towels on your feet (bliss), and a bunch of other things that I was too relaxed to recall. No surprise that she won an award for Best Facialist in Detroit from Allure magazine.
Additional wonders: online scheduling (though you can schedule by phone if you prefer) and desk staff who were truly friendly and welcoming.

Been coming here now for 2 years. Service is top notch. I get the express mani pedis and they are great quality and care. My nails are always cut appropriately to the right length. What I liked most was they talked to you about and don’t assume. Every other place I went to it’s always about fast fast fast. Here they ask you for your specifications and attempt to explain to you when you don’t know.
Scheduling here is phenomenal. My schedule is terrible so their ability to accommodate me and changes is amazing. Obviously only to a reasonable degree but they do it without making you feel bad.
Inside this quaint spot is a unique and comfy décor. Now guys you may feel uncomfortable because it is slightly girly looking but that’s all in your mind. You soak it up and it’s very nice to the eyes and mind.
Atmosphere. Care. Quality.

I second, third and fourth the recommendations and praise for Myranda in the other reviews! I came here from Unilocal alone as it had been far too long and I needed all the eyebrow help I could get.
Every bit of the experience was awesome, from calling for the appointment (they have a super easy and convenient online scheduling tool if that’s more your jam) to arriving at their adorable place. I mentioned it was my first time and I got a great rundown of place — all of their products are natural, vegan and 98% organic, they do makeup and have full testers if you want to try anything, mani/​pedi area looked great and even the crafty things they had on display and for sale were fantastic, all while having a glass of water out of an actual glass (lil things I love).
When it was time to meet Myranda she was warm and welcoming and led me into a great little room for privacy. (Smelled amazing btw). She had me lay down and she went through her thoughts for shaping and made sure I was fully on board before starting. I had never tried threading before, so she explained the process as well and then we got started.
**If you’ve never tried threading before, walk don’t run and try it out! So so so much better than waxing and I can say I can’t see a future where I’ll ever go back.**
Once she was done, she showed me the amazingness she had created and then what a difference a lil powder would make.
As I mentioned Im working on a rebuild here, so she made me promise to not touch them until I get back for my next appointment… and I totally trust that she’s right :)
For serious — go! go now!

Myranda does my brows. She’s a fabu shaper. Bonus it that she’s also really funny. She did my wedding make up too, I felt so pretty!
Took my sister here for fancy pedicures before her wedding. The polish lasted way longer than any other I’ve had. The ladies that work here are wonderful, we felt super pampered and comfortable.

This is my new go-​to for my brows… and the best part? It’s less than a mile from where I live. I came in here after the guy that did my brows at Ulta left and I couldnt be happier with the switch. I decided to give this place a try due to their good reviews and hating how I would break out after getting waxed.
First of all, it’s absolutely darling inside. It has a cute vintage-​y feel to it and I was greeted right when I walked in. It was super clean and I was immediately drawn to all the girly makeup products and nail polishes they had on display.
Myranda did my eyebrow threading and she’s a brow guru! Super quick and a lot less painful (and messy) than waxing. I really enjoyed talking to her and she was super helpful with picking out a brow filler color. She showed me my brows after she was done and told me where and where not to pluck.
Overall an awesome experience and I cant wait to go back in a couple weeks. I can honestly say this is the best my brows have looked and don’t think I’ll ever go back to waxing!

This place is fabulous. From the moment I arrived the women that own and work at the shop were friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is fun and you can tell the sisters that own this place truly love and care about their business. Denitra was my nail tech and she did a fabulous job on my manicure and pedicure service. I was drawn to the fact that this salon uses organic products. If I lived in the area this would be my new regular nail place! Go here and treat yourself!

Utter perfection. We died and went to girly heaven. Best pedicure ever in the cutest place. Friendly professional and kind. A+++*

ROUGE is the place to go to take care of your nails, brows and makeup needs! All the ladies there are wonderful – kind, warm and experts in their crafts. You might spend a little more here than on other salons, but they make sure that there is value in each of the services they provide. I consider it a treat to myself when I make an appointment at ROUGE, and the ladies to a wonderful job of pampering while you are there.
I have been a chronic nail-​biter since childhood and (when moving to a new area) worked to seek out a great nail salon to help me combat my nail-​biting urges. I had a wonderful lady in Kalamazoo that I was broken-​hearted to leave when I landed a job outside if Detroit… But I was saved when I found awesome reviews for ROUGE here on Unilocal!
Jeny, Denitra and Michelle have all done my nails and helped me grow them out. My nails have NEVER looked this nice, and I know that I couldn’t have done this without the great work they have done for me. It’s hard to want to bite your nails after they’ve done such great work to make them look nice! I was a little self-​conscious when I first went, with having such stubby, sorely-​bitten fingers, but I was made to feel comfortable and proud for taking the step that I was to break my bad habit.
I have been a regular customer for over two years and couldn’t be happier. I’m looking at a move into to NW Detroit shortly, but I’m positive that visits to ROUGE will stay on my calendar. Cheers to the ROUGE team and to their continued success!

Love, love, love. I get my monthly pedi here with Jeny, and it always looks and feels great when I’m through, not to mention lasting longer than any other pedicure I’ve ever gotten.
Cheryl has done my makeup on several occasions, once for a work-​related photo shoot, so the look was very professional, perfectly done, and lasted all day under hot lights, looking great in the final photos. The other time was for a night out, and the look was totally different — edgy, sexy, and fun. Each time, she was a delight to work with, and she really listens, and does amazing work.
The other staff there are so friendly and yet perfectly professional, not at all gossipy like you find in so many salons. I love this place.
Word to the wise: This is NOT a walk-​in salon. They are good at what they do, and as a result, they are booked solid most days. I’ve never had to wait more than a week for an appointment, but I can see how it would happen, especially during wedding/​prom season. So plan ahead, and enjoy!

Love.
They do make up and nails in this recently expanded building. They also sell their beauty products as well as a beautiful selection of locally made jewelry.
The products they use in the salon are vegan and as free of chemicals as possible. I felt very comfortable going in there while pregnant to have my nails done.
I was only in there once but will go back. I went with the deluxe mani/​pedi. The experience was so relaxing, it’s going to be one of my happy places to retreat to during labor.
The chairs were very comfortable. Especially the ones for the pedicure. They were pink arm chairs. I settled on nicely for them to take their time. Three hours for both services. Very relaxing hours.
The final product, my nails and skin, came out wonderful. I went home very happy with the physical results. Two weeks later, I am still thrilled with the longevity of the work and the products they used.
In addition to getting above and beyond what you pay for, there is the community. While I was there, a customer brought in flowers for the shop. Another customer insisted on deciding where to place them. Then another client came in and we all had a grand time chatting the evening away. It felt like the way they describe old style Barber shops.
Just love.

My first threading experience could not have gone any better. I was warned by someone in advance about the burning sensation, but I definitely did not feel that. It was more like light pricks — if that. I don’t know how they do it, but I’m slightly amazed.
I was more looking for my brow to be shaped than anything, and Miranda did not disappoint. She knew exactly what to do. I was in and out of there in five minutes.
I would definitely recommend going on one of their deal days, they raised the price but extended it to two days. So on Tuesdays and Wednesdays you can get threaded for $ 15 ($ 5 off the regular price). Because you’re there for such a short amount of time and pay $ 20, I don’t think it’s something that I can get done regularly, unfortunately.
Be sure to get in their lot. If you park on the street like I tried to do, the record shop next door will ask you to move it (which, of course, is slightly annoying as it’s not as simple as driving out and around or something).
Also, check out their website, where you can make your appointment online.

I cashed in a gift certificate for a deluxe pedicure. Almost everything about the service was lovely and relaxing. I really enjoyed the scrub, the mask and the hot stone massage. It’s a green pedicure so all of the products are vegan including the nail polish.
I would say that Rouge compares with Tantra my usual spot pretty competitively. My only compliant would be the extremely uncomfortable chair. Since the deluxe paid-​cure is a 90 minutes service I did find the wicker chair to be a bit hard on my back half way through.
All in all this is a good choice for people in the Ferndale area who want to green pedicure and at competitive price. I don’t know if I’d jump ship from Tantra but I’ll definitely put Rouge in my rotation.
