Bon Terra Salon

I visited Bön Terra Salon for the first time for a cut and highlight. Danielle was fabulous! She was conversational, careful, quick, and worked with me to find the right hairstyle. I left the salon one happy customer, I will definitely be returning!

So happy I went to Bön Terra– just regret not going sooner! I had a horrible and overpriced coloring job done a few months ago that I had to go back to «fix» at unnamed salon in Ann Arbor. The redo didn’t help much and I had just accepted I would have spotty uneven highlights for the lifetime of that hair. But thankfully I found Bön Terra on Unilocal and got set up to see Danielle. She was super nice, easy to talk to, professional, and confident– and for good reason! She was very patient and thorough, knew what would work with my original hair color, and wasn’t satisfied until everything was perfect, even if it meant spending more time with me. All this for waay less than I paid for my original coloring mess. Go to this salon! Ask for Danielle :)

I just had the best experience yesterday at Bön Terra Salon with Taja. Was looking all around for months for a new stylist, went to Studio Nine (was great for a while, but color started to get bad and she was scissor-​happy), Antonino’s in Birmingham (horrible and spent $ 250 for hair I hated)…no one was listening to me, but today my hair color is just right. I have been enduring bad hair days for months, but not any more — amazing how nice hair just puts you in such a good mood! Taja did an excellent job with color correction and now I can’t wait because my color will just keep getting better as I continue going to Bön Terra. Such a relief! Try this place! And don’t believe the reviews about Aveda, I have thin hair and these products are not damaging — my dry, over-​processed hair is now shiny again.

First, the background: three weeks ago I had the a) most expensive and b) worst hair coloring experience ever. My blonde highlights had been reduced to a chocolate-​brown, fudge-​pudding colored hot mess with honey tips. I was so sad. So very sad. My bold decision to try a new salon (which shall remain nameless) wound up so terribly wrong. So very [Pale-​Faced, Pasty-​White] wrong. So! Yesterday, after looking one too many times at myself in the fluorescent bathroom lights at work & feeling like Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice, I needed to do something. I did it – And I am so glad that I did! A search for Aveda on Unilocal led me to this gem of a salon, which turned out to be basically in my backyard (it is at the edge of Royal Oak and Troy! Very centrally located). I called and was put through to Danielle, who professionally listened to my woes, quoted me a very fair price, and said she would see me in a half-​hour. A short while later, I met Miss Danielle, who was younger than I expected given her professionalism on the phone, but SUCH a breath of fresh air! Enthusiastic, creative, and thorough, she gave me BACK my blonde highlights perfectly. And with time to spare re my other important timing issue (my 5:30 departure deadline for latchkey pickup). A top-​notch experience!

I went here on a whim cuz I needed a haircut the day before I left for a business trip. The service was very friendly and the girl who did my hair was very nice and we had good conversation while she did my hair. I didn’t feel rushed (granted I think I was one of the first clients of the day so it wasn’t busy) but I was happy with the result. I have long, straight hair and I just went for a trim to get rid of split ends and I think she did a good job… Surprisingly, I think simple hair cuts are easier to mess up. Price was reasonable… probably standard for a salon/​non-​great clips cut. I don’t know if I’ll make it «my» hair place quite yet but I would definitely go back and give them another go.

Like I’ve said in reviews of other salons, I have difficult hair. It’s super thick and really curly. My hair will usually do what you want it to do but, because there is so much of it, it takes a lot of time and patience.
I’ve been to this salon twice to get my hair washed, blow dried and flat ironed. The first time I went to Noura and she was phenomenal. She almost had my hair completely straight even before the flat iron. It was amazing! Unfortunately, Noura no longer works there and I’m not sure how to get in touch with her.
The second time I went to the owner of Bön Terra. It is very clear that she knows exactly what she is doing. She usually specializes in blonde hair but did a really great job with my hair. She flat ironed it and gave me a good curl at the end so I left looking like Indian Barbie (her words) or with mermaid hair (my friend’s words) lol.
However, I did have a couple of problems with her. First, she charged me $ 70 for my service. I think that’s pretty ridiculous. I usually pay about $ 40 at other AVEDA salons for the same service. I’m pretty sure Noura charged me around $ 40 too. I understand that owners usually charge more but I should have been warned ahead of time. I probably would not have gone. Second, the entire time she did my hair she was acting like it was a really big chore and that she hated doing it. I understand that my hair is a lot of work but telling the person that booked the appointment that you’re going to kill them (exact words) because you have to do my hair was pretty rude. And she made comments like that for two hours. And THEN she charged me $ 70 at the end of it. It’s a shame because she did such a great job with it but I will not be going back to her. Because, one, I don’t want to spend 2 hours seeming like a nuisance and, two, I really can’t afford the steep price.
If I were to rate this place on stylists I would give Noura a ⁵⁄₅ and I would give Taja (I think that’s her name) a ⁵⁄₅ on her work and a ²⁄₅ on her customer service.
Update: I found Noura. She works are Blush Salon in Walled Lake

So glad I found this salon, Danielle gave me beautiful natural-​looking highlights! It’s always hard for me to find someone that makes them look natural. Everyone there was genuinely friendly not snobby at all. Would definitely recommend, I can’t wait to go back!

Sean did an awesome job with my hair! he listened patiently to what I wanted and thought carefully about the sort of haircut that would suit me. The highlights were perfect too! I got exactly what I want — highlights that pop out but are still subtle against my dark hair.

Another great cut, didn’t even have to remind them how I wanted it cut other than to ask to cut it a bit shorter this time.

This was an excellent find in a timely emergency for me. I made an appointment at the last minute to get hair color before I had some important presentations to make. This lovely Salon accommodated me very generously. Even better, I had an awesome experience with hair color. Correcting the errors of a hair color stylist before her — she made me look even better. I’m very very pleased and will be back! Also just to be sure you know this is an Aveda salon.

A great little salon! I came here because of the great reviews and they are well-​deserved. Sean did a fabulous job on my hair. I hadn’t had it professionally cut in over a year and now it looks super healthy and the shape is perfect. Sean also did a great neck and shoulder massage and a scalp massage when he was doing the conditioner. I will definitely be back!

I love this little salon. Doesn’t have the pretentiousness of higher-​end salons but you can tell it’s professional and trendy. Michael did my hair, and he was amazing! He didn’t just give me the haircut I wanted, but he also gave me hair tips and information about each product he was using on my hair. I will definitely be coming back :)

Came here with a Groupon. Wouldn’t have known about the salon otherwise. A small, but clean, professionally run salon with friendly staff. Lilia did my cut and highlights and did a terrific job. I will return again. Tracie

When I moved to town 6 months ago Taja went out of her way to get me in for a VERY last minute cut and color before my sister’s wedding. She did an excellent job then and has every time I have been back since! She takes the time to really make sure she understands your vision for your hair and she executes with quality and style. The salon is well organized, clean, and welcoming. I am very happy I found this salon and enjoy my appointments!

Highly recommend this cute and inviting AVEDA Salon!
With Aveda products and super friendly service. I always look forward to my appt there!
Taja does my color and cuts and never disappoints me!

Lilia made my day! Was there for the first time today — and all of my friends say it looks awesome! Felt welcome and cosy, shop is nice and clean, nice decoration, cosy atmosphere, excellent service and good products! I can highly recommend it :)

What a great salon! Super friendly service, great Groupon deal and Lilia was a doll. We chatted and she made me feel comfortable. Later hours, I came in at 6:30 and they had no problem. Great job on my hair with reasonable prices.

Wow — I didn’t think my hair could look so good! Taja did an amazing job on my highlights and haircut. Getting blonde right is an art, and this woman is an artist!
Great selection of Aveda products and knowledgable staff was very helpful in selecting the appropriate product for my needs.
Can’t recommend this place highly enough! The best place to get highlights and haircut in Metro Detroit!

Beautiful new Aveda salon in Troy! Very clean, easy parking, and friendly people. The owner is very knowledgeable about the entire line of Aveda products. She is also an expert in hair color and gave me one of the best hair cuts I have ever gotten! As if that weren’t enough, she was very patient with my 18 month old, and he walked out happy, and with a great cut as well!

Went to this cute salon a few days ago to buy some product. Lovely Aveda salon with tons of parking, really pretty inside. Owner was really patient with me and answered all of my questions even though I was really annoying with the million I asked. Saw some great hair walk out of there, so happy! This place is great. You won’t be disappointed.
