I feel like it's pertinent that I be upfront about my poor hair care before continuing with this review. Although I wash my hair daily, I tend to be quite (perhaps far too) lax about brushing my hair and following up with the 6-8 week trim appointments. As a result, my stylist at 6 Salon (Kristina) only sees me once a season.
The environment--everything from the furniture to the stylists' assistants--at 6 Salon is nothing but hip and is enough to make even the dullest person feel like a member of the elite.
The stylists are extremely professional and always consult the customer before the cutting commences.
Beyond offering the latest in hair-trends, 6 Salon also features a make-up artist (who also performs hair removal) and a manicurist.
Although there are many positive features at 6 Salon (they have my loyalty), a few negatives do exist. Firstly, the prices are not uniform (starting at around $50 for a cut), and when getting color and the stylist determines a trim is necessary, the customer is charged for a full hair cut when only 1/4 of an inch or hair is extracted. Also, the better the stylist the longer the wait. Never worry about being 5 minutes late because it's likely that your stylist is still working on their last customer.
An added bonus is that 6 caries a variety of up-scale hair products and accessories and can refer to which one is best for the procedure they performed. More so, most stylists are fairly honest and can point you toward a drug-store alternative to the product if you're not interested in spending upwards of $20 on shampoo (Pantene Pro-V is my personal favorite).

This adorable little establishment is nestled in the heart of downtown Royal Oak. I stopped into Five15 on my lunch break from work to grab a coffee and snack and was really impressed with the entire store. I think the man who was operating it was the owner, and he was such a sweetheart. Five15 offers funky items and isn't outrageously priced, either. The coffee was great, inexpensive and effective (I was bouncing off the walls!). If you're sick of Starbucks, Caribou and the other chain coffee shops, give Five15 a try and you won't be disappointed. Birmingham has Java Hutt and now Royal Oak has Five15, a new gem that will hopefully be around for years to come!
