Edwin Paul Salon

Edwin Paul knows how to treat a customer. Many Talented hair stylists! Always get compliments on my hair!

I absolutely love this salon. First of all, I love the atmosphere– very sleek and stylish. The stylists always look SO pretty and the front desk girls are very friendly and accommodating. The salon sells high quality products at the front of the store. I have been very happy with all of my hair appts. here. My hair always LOOKS & feels great. Parking can sometimes be a pain (well, that’s GP!), but it’s worth it! Definitely book early because they’re very busy… and they’re also more high end.

Lindsey gave me the best color that I’ve had in years. So many people notice and compliment the balayage ombré highlights she created. They look «better than natural» and flatter my skin tone perfectly.
Edwin Paul is actually a very far drive for me and I only discovered it by accident when I needed a quick blow-​out in the area, but I plan to keep returning in the future.

For the first time in my whole life I’ve had haircut I’m completely satisfied with! Good atmosphere. Good products used. Definitely would recommend Shannon! Will continue to go to her until no longer possible.

This salon is perfect! I am a regular here. Every time I go, the experience is so special and I always feel so beautiful once my hair is all done. My favorite beautician is Donna, hands down! I request her every time I make an appointment. She does blow outs for me and then styles it for me with my hair extensions in. Donna is so talented but also very funny and sweet. I’ve also had Lindsay, Alyssa, Jennifer Johnson, and Mary K. I was happy with all of them. As for the salon, it is gorgeous and very clean. The two receptionists are so great! I love Shelby who always does whatever she can to arrange my appointments around my schedule. The other receptionist is great, too. Her name is Suzanne and one time she went through a lot of trouble to make sure that I had Donna. I highly recommend coming here :)

Donna did my wedding day hair and Alisa did my wedding day make-​up. Both were great and the staff was super accommodating when I was cancelling and rebooking hair appointments at the last minute for my bridesmaids and family.
The make-​up ended up looking fabulous for my pictures, and even the false eyelashes (which I wasn’t sure I wanted to go with at first) looked better than I expected, and totally natural. Alisa did airbrush makeup on me, and it lasted the entire day too, which was so nice! Thanks Alisa!

I’ve been a patron off and on depending on the stylist. Two stylists were great but unfortunately are not there any longer. Not knowing this, I called and made an appoint with «Sara.» I was asked which one, described her, then was told fine. When I showed for my appointment, Sara was not «my Sara.» I was told that «my Sara» was no longer there. I asked new Sara is she had experience with long hair. She replied «absolutely.» In fact, she replied that to everything I asked.
Fast forward…2 hours later I am still there. The cut is a disaster. Bangs crooked. I wear a long layered cut. Another stylist is attempting to fix. Finally, I run out of patience. A senior stylist comes to my rescue and we talk. I sacrifice a total of 6 inches that night to be able to walk away with a decent cut, but bangs would have to stay as is because they were «too screwed up» and you don’t want short, short bangs. I am not charged.
The owner calls the next day to see how I’m doing. To his credit, he says Sara will be going to school to learn better techniques. Good for her.
Bottom line: Some are great. Some are not. Be careful.

As a hairstylist, I hate to leave negative feedback. I know how things go behind the scenes. I stopped in for an eyebrow wax. Very simple. I was told the assistant would be about 15 minutes. No big deal, really.
The wax didn’t grab all the hairs (common) but the assistant did not go back and detail/​tweeze the strays. There were enough hairs left over to make me a little irritated that I paid $ 20 ($ 5 tip) and I still had to go home and finish the job. I didn’t notice how many she missed until I looked in the mirror on the way back. I am not sure if the lighting is bad in there and she couldn’t see, she was in a hurry, or she thought it was acceptable. Just goes to show that you don’t always get what you pay for. I shouldnt have to go home afterwards and tweeze several obvious long dark hairs that were missed.

MMMM…
The Good: Excellent facial, pedi, mani and lunch. One would think that was enough, but… I won’t be coming back.
The Bad:
My husband purchased a Full Day at the Spa package for me for my birthday. Exactly three weeks later, I used it. I tried to provide my gift certificate at the beginning but was dismissed and told not until the end by the front desk. OK Well, I know why they wanted to wait until the end. In the three weeks between my husband purchasing the package and me going to the spa, the price was raised $ 12. Now mind you, the certificate was for the package, not a set dollar amount. THEY CHARGED ME. How petty after he just paid hundreds of dollars. My husband was beyond ticked.
My massage was disappointing. I came back right before my wedding to see if perhaps I had just not communicated enough with Jessica as she was supposedly the best they had. Nope. Sorry. I’ve had much, much better for less.
Scheduling is also a PAIN. Be ready to plan weeks in advance if you want more than one service. I’ve called to make single-​service weekend appointments, and their availability was very limiting and impossible if you wanted to see someone in particular.

This salon has tiered pricing, meaning the more experienced stylist you get, the more expensive the service. You can get a reasonable price by selecting one of the younger stylists. If you’re price conscious make sure to ask about the stylist price list when booking your appointment.
Their stylists are very talented, customer-​oriented, and very professional. I’ve never had a bad haircut or color, and I’ve been to 2 different stylists. The place is always clean, and they always offer refreshments to customers.
Another thing that I love is their online appointment booking system. It’s also really great for keeping track of appointments, and what product (s) you’ve bought. I am TERRIBLE with names, so it helps me to know I’m booking an appointment with the same stylist.

In need of a fix for severely overdone (long, blonde) hair that was purple/​grey — and not by choice — I returned to Edwin Paul. I loved going to Wendy before she left/​came back /​left. She was amazing!
The girl that «fixed» me told me her entire sordid personal story about her live-​in boyfriend that was married until she came along; her need for pain medication due to a medical condition, her bills, etc.
$ 295. Seriously? It’s HAIR. It ended up too dark, and she said to «fix» the damage she had to cut off 4″. BoRics could have fixed it by cutting it all off.
I love Wendy and would go back to her in a heartbeat — but EP needs to learn to listen to what their stylists are saying to (new to them) customers.

I couldn’t be happier that I was so desperate to chop off my hair after getting back from my honeymoon and Edwin Paul was the only salon open on Mondays that I could find!
Kasey cut my hair (and it was a major cut, at least 10″) and did an amazing job. I liked the vibe in the salon. I had been looking for an east side place that didn’t have the «scene» of the west side salons and I found it. I also went back 3 weeks later and had a blow out which was also great! The best part about it was the price…$ 45 for a major haircut. I was prepared to have to drive to Royal Oak and pay at least $ 60!
Another cool feature I like about the salon is the ability to schedule appointments online through their website! Talk about convenience!
