I have been going to Peter here for as long as the salon has been open! He does such an amazing job with my hair I only need to go 2-3 times a year. The staff,atmosphere and attention to detail is amazing along with a great cut and color!

Courtney does an amazing job cutting wavy/curly hair so it can curl better ok it's own. She (and Anthony who assists her) made sure to explain all the steps so I could replicate the style from home. I didn't even know my hair could be that curly on it's own. They're both really nice and very skilled. She's the only person who cuts my hair. I had been having them remove weight from my hair which left a shelf like look from the back (which I didn't even know was happening.) Now my hair is still thinned out and curls much better.

I love this place! I recently moved out of state and I will probably drive in to continue to have my hair cut by Roman. I have had my hair cut and colored by Roman- always great. My daughters’ have had cut by other team members and had a deva cut.
So pleased they wear masks and offer disposable masks during cut and colors!

Courtney and Anthony changed my life!
I spent years getting typical salon cuts and being disappointed with the lack of volume & definition. I have wavy hair, so I decided to book a curly cut at P.La Salon to see if my results would be any better.
The visit was just as much a discussion of products and styling techniques that are best for my hair type as it was a haircut.
Everyone I met was friendly & professional. The hair sinks were so comfortable, too, that it's worth mentioning here.
I'm so glad I took a chance with a curly cut, and I'm looking forward to my next appointment at P.La.

A great salon with many talented stylist. Roman is amazing!
Peter is top notch. Courtney is a curly hair specialist. Dougie is great with color. I've gone to Roman for years and I'm always getting asked who does my hair. Very happy with the people and classy environment at P.la

I am so pleasantly surprised how safe I felt getting a haircut during the pandemic because of P.La! My stylist, Stephen C., did such an amazing job. He listened to my concerns about not having my hair cut in almost a year. He made my hair look so healthy and bouncy and happy. A little on the pricey end but we'll worth it for the physical safety I felt and the miraculous job they did on my hair. Also, parking is a breeze since they have their own parking lot. And it was easy to book an appointment!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ZOE!!! I had such a good experience here. Zoe listened to me and was super kind and attentive. When the color didn’t turn out perfectly as I had envisioned she spent another hour with me making it just right! Really appreciate her thoroughness! Thank you for my copper balayage!

I was very excited to make an appointment with a devacurl specialist. The stylist was booked and I had to make an appointment a month and a half in advance. I was charged a $30 deposit to hold my appointment. I received a confirmation call 24 hours before my appointment (which was booked incorrectly). When I made the appointment, I penciled it in my schedule while I was on the phone with the receptionist. I strategically booked the appointment around my work schedule. When I got the confirmation call with the wrong date, I was unable to make the appointment. I understand that receptionists make

I booked a first time appointment with Allie for hair color based on other reviews that I read, and I’m sooo happy I did! Absolutely love the way it turned out, and would recommend her to anyone that needs color done!

This is truly thee best salon you're going to find. To anyone complaining about their prices, you get what you pay for!!! This is a very high end salon and if you want cheap results for a cheap price, then I suggest you go elsewhere. I have never been dissatisfied with my hair. I have been going to Dave for about 6 years now and he always takes great care of me! You can trust any of the stylists here because they are experts that know exactly what they're doing. Thank you, P. La for being the best there is!

This was my first time getting a Deva Cut and my experience was great! Courtney was very professional and informative. She gave me the tools needed to style at home and begin training my curls. I will be returning in four months to take more off. But I am extremely happy to continue my natural hair journey with Courtney.

I booked an appointment with Allie out of sheer convenience, the salon is close to my home and she was available. I couldn't have been happier with her talent, professionalism, and friendliness. Allie's cut/color is one of the best I have ever received.
I also met the owner, Roman. He too was friendly and very welcoming.
This salon is very reasonable priced, I will definitely be going back!

I'm a curly girl so I'm always looking for a Devacurl certified stylist. I was so excited that Courtney is the one! Once she found out I'm knowledge about the subject matter, she said the price will be lower - $80 for the cut (instead of $120 or 130). Already big points on being understanding, but Courtney turned out to be an extremely talented human being and stylist. I've been getting Devacurl haircuts for 5+ years now and she is the best one I found so far. Highly recommended (even if it means it will be harder to make an appointment with her! LoL)

I had my second visit with Courtney over at P.La salon. This was for the Pantene cut for charity. After my first visit with Courtney, I figured she would want to see my hair in the shortened, unweighted condition, instead of having the 2lbs of hair pulling the curls down while they dried. I called and suggested that I come in with it pre-cut, she knew I knew what I was doing and agreed that it would be a good idea.

There is a HUGE difference between me knowing what needs to be done and communicating what needs to be done and the person actually using the scissors (my best friend at work).

I looked specifically for a DevaCurl stylist and found that Courtney at P.La is a certified curly hair stylist. I waited a couple weeks for my appointment with Courtney and it was worth the wait! Courtney is kind and experienced and made my time in the salon super fun and enjoyable. She taught me how to care for my curls, and cut my hair to match the style I described to her. This is the best haircut I've ever had, and I will be coming back for all of my haircuts in the future!

Cate T's review is spot-on 100% perfect! Courtney does a fabulous job and is a certified Diva Curly Girl Stylist. All curly girls need to know the Curly Girl Handbook and visit Courtney. I have also visited other stylists who claim to be curly specialists, augh!
Courtney is the best, I'm so blessed to have found her.

P. La is the only salon I wholeheartedly trust with my hair. The stylists are all extremely talented and do an amazing job with highlights, cuts, and styling. The front staff are kind and courteous, and do their best to accommodate clients' schedules. After moving out of state I went to a highly regarded salon and ended up with damaged, over processed hair and one of the worst hair cuts I've ever had. A couple weeks later I had a 12 hour layover in Detroit and P. La graciously fit me in on a very busy day. I left with a beautiful cut that made my recent highlights look even better. I

I called to make an appointment this week and they told me that there was an opening at 2:15pm if I could get there within minutes.
I asked the simple question (or so I thought) of how much my cut would be and the receptionist explained that it would be $45-$55.
I told her I have long straight hair and she then replied again that the cost would depend on whether I would be getting a straight cut or layers and I replied I was getting a straight cut trim of about an inch. She said in reply the cost would be $45-55 again. I told her what makes it one or the other and she said it would depend on

ATTN CURLY GIRLS: Courtney is amazing!! I went to P.La salon after seeing that Courtney was a certified level 3 deva cut stylist. Meaning, she is skilled in cutting curly hair in its natural state. As someone who has never had a good haircut experience at a salon, Courtney was a breath of fresh air. Upon my arrival, we discussed my hair goals and concerns, and she gave me an overview of the process. She made sure to address my concerns as well as giving me some great feedback and advice for hair maintenance moving forward. I can't stress enough just how kind and attentive Courtney was during

After regrettably settling for a sub-par hair stylist in Birmingham for way too long, I decided to turn to Yelp for reviews on local salons in the Royal Oak area.

I decided on Peter at P. La. Simply put, he's an expert at his craft. He takes the time to discuss ideas for cut and color in a way that makes you feel like you're in the best hands.

And most importantly, he DELIVERS on his vision. And you won't be stuck there all day, because he's efficient, yet not rushed. He's confident, yet humble, and so kind. A true professional.

Are you looking for a laid back place to feel pampered? Roman has created a space to make everyone feel beyond cared for, you will feel nurtured. You will leave with exceptional hair ( I'm always getting complements, thanks Roman!) AND a full soul.
I attribute this to the exceptional listening skills of the staff. They really know how to communicate, to understand what you'd like to walk out the door with.
Peter cuts both my kids hair and they always look like mini model/actors. He really knows hair.
I feel that pricing is super affordable. $30ish for kids cut.
All of the quality

I just love it here.

Listen. I am a hair stylist snob. I used to drive to Windsor just to get a haircut. It is so nice to know that such a wonderful, nice salon is so close to my home.

The Salon is so cute and chic. It almost feels like you are in some sort of NYC loft space. Oh..did I mention the shampoo bowls basically roll out like a bed and there is a TV for you to watch while you are getting washed out. Oh how I love my shampoo with a side of "Fixer Upper".

Julia does my color and she is amazing. I have never received so many compliments on my hair color. She is a color master

Best place in Metro Detroit for a haircut. Chelsea and Peter have been cutting my hair for 4 years. They are incredible and $35 + $10 tip for a men's haircut is great. Love that you can have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee whilst you wait. Call there and book your appt today! You will be happy you did.

I had my hair done here about a month ago. I purposely scheduled a consultation because I wanted to MAKE SURE what I wanted could be possible. I am also licensed and I was referred here considering my specialty is nails and not hair. I showed pictures of what I wanted and it was made clear that it can be done.

All of the signs were clear that the stylist didn't know what they were doing. It's pretty bad when other stylists go behind their back and whisper because they know the stylist just made mistakes. I wanted something close to an ombre (like what is shown)

Obviously I was furious

P.La is the place for the best service cut and color.

Roman has been my stylist for nearly, let's just say forever, and now that he's opened his own salon I cannot say enough good things about it.

I rarely give Roman direction and let him do whatever he wants to my hair and I've NEVER, in all these years, been disappointed, NEVER! He always gives me the most up-to-date color and style that fits my features and lifestyle.

I rarely give 5 star reviews on anything, but P'La has earned every star! In my opinion, Any 5 star review requires meeting and exceeding expectations on a variety of topics within any business model; service, products and product knowledge, personal attention, consistency, atmosphere and the overall customer experience from check in to checkout! I have been a client since they opened so I can check the box for consistency right from the start!

I owe much of the credit to Kurt (my fav stylist) who consistently exceeds my expectations with service and the overall experience. His attention
