Hi S.! Welcome to the area! I love my salon and love the fact that they have an area where my little girl can get her hair done as well.
I also live on the eastside but I travel over towards the Lansing Mall (well worth the trip). I go to Lockworx Salon. They are an Aveda Salon too! The girl I go and see, her name is Mandy and she is wonderful! She is a new mother and an Army wife. Plus, she is a very up to date kind of girl.
Like I said, they also have a "little lox" room for the younger ones. My daughter loves to "go to the salon". She is nearly 4 and I have never had trouble with her not wanting to go. They have popcorn, toys, treats - you name it. And she does a great job as well!
So, if you are willing to drive a few extra miles to the other side of town, look up Mandy - you won't be disappointed! Oh, their number is: ###-###-####
Good luck!
