Todd’s Room

Unfortunately, I had a HORRIBLE experience with Todd’s Room. I’m giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because I’m hoping this isn’t how they usually operate.
My hair dresser recommended them for my wedding makeup. I called in and the receptionist filled a form out for me and told me Raquel would call me with details, etc. From there is where the nightmare began. I won’t go into the full details and make this review a novel but i was VERY upset that they had such a hard time getting back to me. They kept loosing my information/​request form, promising they’d get back to me that day and it NEVER happened. called in to follow up about my inquiry at least 8 times over 3 – 4 weeks (i was polite). My experience was ridiculous and unacceptable that they couldn’t get back to me. I would have given them my business with no questions since this was a referral and i gave them MANY chances.
I don’t think my experience applies to all workers in the Salon, just more specifically Raquel and wedding booking operations. Either way, it definitely reflects poorly on the salon. They’re impossible to work with.
I gave them SO many chances and they just didn’t want or care about my business! :/

Jeannie does my eyebrows. She’s got talent and years and YEARS of experience that clearly show on my face. My brows and I absolutely adore her kind soul. They are a natural brow with a high arch so they can fit in when I’m full glam or no makeup days. Check her out! Ps: leaving off 1 star has NOTHING to do with her. Reception falls off sometimes so do yourself a favor and be your own reception. Write down all your appointments and make them in advance. There’s a chance they won’t do a reminder call (which is something I should probably responsible for on my own) BUT STILL! It took a missed appointment and no openings till my next advanced book one to learn that lesson the hard way. 6 weeks and 1 eyebrow later, I mark all my appointments down myself now.

Loved my brows and lashes. Disappointed that they don’t do mink extensions anymore. I think there was only one guy who did them and maybe he left. Not sure. He was out of town when I went and when I called to schedule with him I was told that they don’t offer the service anymore.

Lori is simply the best for brows. My mom and I have been going to her for years to get our brows done, and she’s the best. Highly recommend.

I started going to Todd’s Room seven years ago when I lived in Troy. Moving back to Michigan, five years later, I don’t mind the 35 mile drive to come back here — — That is how good it is! If that’s not an endorsement, I don’t know what is!
Todd’s Room is a woman’s playground. Entering, you can shop select cosmetics, predominated my Todd’s Room own line. Walking toward the back, you then traverse through a space filled with jewelry, scarves, and other small accessories. You then emerge into a circular room, covered in mirrors where the makeup artists chairs are arranged. The seats always seem to be filled with the continuous rotation of clients that are artfully having their makeup applied or brows groomed. This is the only place that I allow to touch my arches, which I have to admit are pretty amazing.
Please be aware, you need an appointment. Book early, because appointments fill weeks in advance.

This is the only place that gave my eyebrows a beautiful arch! Nancy is the absolute BEST! Tweezing was not painful at all. Nancy’s very nice and interesting to talk to. She also waxed my upper lip and they use this pink wax compared to honey wax that other salons use. It was less painful too. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

I was a bridesmaid for a friend’s wedding and she had us get out make up done at Todd’s. I had Jaime B who was amazing. She literally did my make up within 30 minutes and it was fabulous.
Very expensive but that is what you get in Birmingham!
If you don’t know the best colors or type of make up to wear I would pay to get a consultation here because it for sure would be worth your money due to their product knowledge and expertise.

Living in NYC I’ve seen the best of the best in waxing and Jesse is better than the best! He gave me a perfect arch and my brows have never looked better. So glad I trusted the Unilocal reviews. Looking forward to using him for a makeup lesson next.

I had my wedding day make up done here. Not only is Todd one of the nicest individuals, his genuine care for his work is so evident. If I only had one line to describe and review him, I’d use something he said to me when I asked him how he felt about doing so many weddings.
«I’m privileged to take part in so many wedding days, I know that you’re trusting me to on the biggest day of your life, that is both an honor for me and that makes me work that much harder to ensure you feel beautiful.»
He truly did a wonderful job, and everyone at my wedding saved his number :) He made it look so natural, and took into account all things (style of dress, wedding, my own comfort level). He also made sure, even though my mother wasn’t booked with him, to put my mind at ease by talking to her make up artist before her appointment and making sure she would look stunning!
Staff, environment, and everything else was wonderful as well, but all the other reviews do a good job of highlighting that. End note — all brides should go to him, and make sure to book him as soon as you know your wedding date, he fills up fast!

I was in a wedding this past weekend and had the absolute pleasure of getting my make up done at todd’s room. The staff was SO accommodating and nice. Todd did my makeup and I felt like he really took his time and genuinely wanted it to look amazing. Everyone in the bridal party loved their makeup. and I’ve honestly never seen the bride look SO beautiful.
All around great experience. I already told my sister to book them for her wedding in October!

I’ve been seeing Leslie for brows and make-​up for many years now. I see her no matter what salon she is at, and now she is back at Todd’s Room. GO SEE LESLIE! SHE ROCKS x 1000!!! Oh, and the salon is super girly and pretty — décor and all of the different and fun prodcuts — anytime I go there I feel fabulous!

I’ve been hearing about Todd’s Room for years… all of my Michigan friends head to Todd and his staff for brow shaping and makeup for all kinds of events. They really are «the place» to go to get beautified in the Detroit area. So for that reason, I wasn’t surprised that my sister booked Todd and team to do her wedding party’s makeup this past weekend.
Todd, Laurie, and Aimee came out to the event venue and knocked out gorgeous makeup jobs for at least eight of us. I say «knocked out,» but they actually took their time and made each of us feel incredibly beautiful.
Todd did my makeup as well as the bride and mother of the bride. Since I told him that I like the natural look (I don’t wear a ton of makeup usually and my husband hates me in makeup), he kept that in mind and didn’t do anything too drastic. He fixed my brows up in the process and used colors that weren’t too dramatic, which I soooo appreciated.
As Todd worked on me, Aimee and Laurie were working on a couple of the other bridesmaids and we all were listening to music and made casual conversations at the same time. It was fun getting beautified together — kind of like a pre-​party. We discussed everything from music and dating to cardio and puppies!
I now know why Todd’s Room has the reputation they do… they’re fabulous! I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

When I got married, I had my make up done by Jesse for my engagement photo session and by Todd for my wedding day. I absolutely love them. My make up was flawless for both events and stayed on all night. I didn’t even smudge after the tears, kisses, and sweat from dancing all night. They use high quality make up with professional artists ready to make you look fabulous. Todd and Jesse both take their time; I felt like a canvas being painted on. It was cool to see the progression of what I looked like when I came in and how I looked leaving the salon. Both times, I had a HUGE smile on my face, with a perfect lip color too!
The salon is also loaded with beauty products! While waiting, I shopped around and looked at different items and colors to try with my skin tone. I recommend making an appointment well in advance for your events; they book quickly and its always busy. Overall, I love it here!

I’ve known Todd and the team since I was a kid… even before the time of Todd’s Room. Since then I’ve lived in several major cities but no matter how hard I try to find someone in my current city, no one compares to Todd and the rest of the team. I always wind up coming back when I’m back in MI.
Whether it’s hair/​makeup for events or an arch, Todd’s Room is worth the wait, price, etc. for unparalleled service.

Lori is amazing!
I used to tweeze my own brows — they were far too thin and did nothing for my face.
I spent 4 whole weeks growing my brows in, but when I walked into Todd’s Room I still had bald spots, uneven shape and crazy lengths.
But when I walked out, I felt like one million dollars.
I already booked my next appt. with Lori. She’s fantastic.

This place does eyebrows better than anyplace else. My very thick eyebrows know.
That said, after six visits I decided I’m not going back. I hate it when salon employees trash talk clients in front of other clients. It’s incredibly rude and unprofessional. Obviously, they don’t care and don’t need my business. I’m sure business is booming for them in tony downtown Birmingham and they don’t need my proletariat money to keep them afloat. I’m still very disappointed, however, because their eyebrow skills there are unmatched.
Beware: don’t be late or they will give you a hard time. My makeup application appointment was changed on me last minute even though I’d made it very clear to the make up artist when I made the appointment that my schedule for the day was set in stone. So, not only did I get chided for arriving 10 minutes late (due to Woodward construction traffic), my whole day’s schedule before my big night was completely jacked up. Then, she took so long to do my make up that I was late for my next appointment. Thanks a lot.
If you want FRIENDLY, unpretentious service, get your eyebrows done at Rouge in Ferndale.

Just got back from Todd’s Room.
Reception: Yikes! — leaves a lot to be desired. I basically had to ask her to book me since she could not even be bothered to look up when i approached the counter.
Brows: Jaime B did a great job
Eye Makeup: Another great job by Jaime B
Checkout: Yikes! different girl and i had to prompt her for everything. «When should I come back?», «Is it better to prebook?» all i got from new girl was, just come in, we take walk in’s.
Conclusion: Still deciding if Jamie B is worth me going through reception.
Who knows, maybe she does not need new clients.

Best beauty bar ever… seriously a girls’ heaven!
Since I left Michigan, I’ve lived in Cincinnati, Denver, and now Los Angeles and I have yet to find a place like Todd’s Room.
You walk in to a room full of every type of makeup and beauty product you could imagine. The staff there is knowledgeable and very helpful and can guide you to find the right product for your needs. In the middle, there’s a small section of cute hair accessories and costume jewelry that are pretty reasonably priced. Then you enter the salon in the back. The room is a circle with beauty stations lining the outer perimeter and in the middle is a tufted couch with tons of girl-​y magazines. Around the corner is the hair washing and cutting station.
They are the best place to get your eyebrows done. They trim and tweeze them into perfection and are very judicious with their use of wax. Jeannie is the only person I trust with my eyebrows! I also trusted Todd’s Room with my wedding makeup and they were definitely one of my favorite vendors — I recommended them to all of my friends who got married after me.
Oh Todd’s Room… I miss you!

This place is amazing! I have never had my eyebrows look so good before. It’s well worth the higher price you pay. I definitely recommend coming here!

1) They do makeup just fine
2) The receptionists are so rude, they act like you’re doing them a favor by coming in there
3) Todd himself is pretty rude. He used to do my brows and would not even give me the time of day whilst tweezin’. Grrrr
4) There’s a damn cute dog that flops around the shop
5) Overall, there are places that are equally as good, if not better, and you won’t feel like you’ve just been walked all over after you’ve left
