About

Bridgett Chapman founded the salon in 1996, and she still owns it and works there as its Master Artist. She has been a licensed cosmetologist since 1991. Her first shop job was at Wig Village in Detroit, where she began braiding, and she later trained at Virginia Farrell after mastering the craft. She also helps aspiring stylists through apprenticeship programs run through the state of Michigan, and she shares industry knowledge with her team and with up-and-coming artists.

The salon describes itself as a full service licensed salon. Its menu covers specialized color, cuts, styling, texturizing, straightening and natural hair care, along with a long list of braid, weave, lock and barber services. Prices are given as starting points, so the final cost depends on the style chosen. Weave prices start at $75 for a sew-in, $125 for a Deluxe Weave and $150 for a Supreme Weave, and an invisible part adds $20 to a sew-in. Color prices do not include styling.

Visits typically take three to four hours, and longer styles such as zillions take more time. Walk-ins are accepted, and the salon is open Tuesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and Monday are by appointment only. Express Weave clients should arrive with clean hair and two packs of hair. Children's beads must be brought in by the client, and small children must be supervised at all times.

Magazines including Hair Design, Black Passion, Prestige Hair, Below Zero and Next Generation Hair have published features on the salon. It has also appeared in hair shows around the country and in a makeover segment on Channel 7 Action News, a local broadcast.

The salon puts healthy, natural hair care first and aims to give each client an individual experience built around what they want. Styles range from conservative to glamorous.

The setting feels warm, friendly and family oriented, with every client treated with respect.
