JL Styles Howell

JL Styles has two locations: a salon at 431 N. Main St. in downtown Milford and a salon at 113 N. Michigan Ave. in downtown Howell. The Howell salon is housed in a historic building in the alley district of downtown Howell. The salon describes itself as a woman-owned business.

Hair color, hair extensions and blowouts are also offered, along with Brazilian Blowout and Keratin Complex smoothing treatments. Esthetician and nail services are offered alongside the hair services.

Product choices begin with ingredients. The salon carries Davines and Innersense hair products, and says it works with brands that take care in how their formulas are made. The salon describes Innersense products as free of silicones, sulfates and synthetic fragrances. Retail shelves also stock jewelry, natural soaps and candles, and shopping does not require an appointment.

Both locations offer online booking. Milford is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. with later evening hours on Tuesday through Thursday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Howell is open Monday from noon, Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Both locations are closed Sunday. Cancellations need 24 hours notice. A second late cancellation by phone requires a card on file and a 50% deposit to book the next appointment. A no-call, no-show requires payment in full before booking the next service, and the salon may refuse clients who repeat it. Brazilian Blowouts require a $100 deposit at booking, and purchasing hair for an extension appointment serves as the deposit that holds the appointment.

The salon selects hair products based on their ingredients and works with brands that take care in formulation. It describes its offering as clean beauty, and the Howell salon describes its aim as sustainable beauty inside and out.
