About

theAlcove sits on the lower level of the Uptown Center Mall at 204 West Grand River Avenue in downtown Howell. Hours run every day from 9 AM to 5 PM. The menu covers full body skin care, facials, waxing, brow and lash services, and nail appointments with the nail technicians on staff.

Body and intimate care is a major part of the menu. A full body exfoliating scrub runs from neck to ankle, takes 90 minutes or more, and starts at $150. A 30-minute back treatment starts at $100 and can be booked alone or added to another visit. The Vajacial treatments use hydrogel masks or side strips, take about 10 minutes, and are designed for use after hair removal. Their products contain hyaluronic acid, green tea extract and aloe vera. The Vajacial Brazilian treatment can be added to a waxing visit or bought to use at home.

Facials come in 30-minute and 60-minute warm touch and cooling versions. The 30-minute options leave out the décolleté, while the 60-minute options include it. A firming peptide mask can be added to any facial starting at $50, adding 30 minutes to the visit.

Booking has a few policies to know. Clients who cannot make an appointment are asked to let the salon know as soon as possible so they can reschedule. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment. Gift cards are final sale, but they can be scheduled for delivery on a chosen date with an optional message. A $100, 60-minute manual scheduling option is used for salon bookings only and is not offered online.

Petals and Pampering pairs a prepaid service with flowers. In the salon, flowers wait for the client at an extra $10 on top of the arrangement and services, with no arrangement minimum. For delivery, gift certificates go out with flowers or gifts from Aleta's Flowers and Gifts in Fowlerville, with a $45 minimum floral arrangement. Delivery fees are $12 in Fowlerville, $14 in Howell and Webberville, and $18.95 in Brighton, Byron, Gregory, Hamburg, Hartland, Stockbridge and Williamston, and may change. Orders must be placed 24 hours ahead and paid in full at ordering. Petals and Pampering services are arranged directly with Courtney.

A client review on the site describes the shop as having a calming feel.
