Mariomax Salon

This is a salon you can go with confidence that your hair will not fry off. I do think the stylists here are prepared to cut and color almost anyone. However, the styling aspect is dated (the finished look). This is definitely an older person’s salon — it seems to be lacking freshness in the styling and product department. I would like to see higher end looks and products come out of this place. The prices are great compared to Birmingham, and the staff is more than qualified. I personally just wish it had a little bit more edge in creating looks I would wear, but I’m not into curls and updos. I also wish the place had a fresh coat of paint. I would check it out if your looking for a new salon. I recommend the owners if you want to try new color.

I went to mario max regularly as a teen. Twenty years later and I came back to fix a terrible highlighting job and get my hair styled for my brothers wedding, and it was better than I remembered. Maria did an awesome job fixing my hair after a suburban chicago salon (which I won’t name as I am currently waiting for them to refund my money) completely f ‘d up leaving my hair white blonde and me screwed for my brothers wedding two days later. I went to mario max unsure if they could help, and Maria was up for the challenge. She squeezed me in last minute and quickly figured out what to do to get closer to my natural color. She did a great job, and I highly recommend her. The next day, I returned for Danielle to style my hair for the big day. She did exactly what I wanted (loose waves) and it looked better than I expected — better than salons in NYC and boston where I previously sought the same hairstyle to my disappointment. I received so many compliments about my hair all night and still do thanks to Facebook. Danielle also did my mom’s hair, and it looked amazing. Thank you Maria and Danielle. If I ever have another event in Michigan, I now have a place to go. Unfortunately I still need to find someone in chicago north shore.

I had a manicure with the manicurist Sheila the best ever. Now I know why she won hour magazine 2 years .I highly recommend her.

Beautiful salon with tons of experienced stylists. ask for Danielle!

I still remember going to Mario Max with my mom when I was a kid and watching Max do her hair. Today the location has changed but it’s still the best hair salon in West Bloomfield and Farmington Hills area. It’s always crowded but very few people are waiting. They have a lot of products and Michael Mauro always does a great job. All the stylists seem to keep up with the latest trends.

Mario Max is the place I’ve been getting my hair cut ever since I moved to Michigan. Maria does a fantastic job and is really fun to talk to. I gave her free reins on my prom hairdo and she blew me out of the water! On a side note, I got my nails and toenails done there once. The pedicure was frankly a little painful, but it was only the second time I got a pedicure, and I think it might just be the pedicure process that hurts.
I definitely recommend Maria!

This is a swanky salon that’s a very busy beehive with a bevy of stylists and nonstop customers; it’s kind of nice to see that the Michigan recession hasn’t touched this spot one bit, and it’s also nice to see a business where you can lapse momentarily into thinking that at least one place in the state hasn’t crashed and burned while the water is running down the sides of your head and two assistants are talking about hair color overtop of you!
I had Jennifer T. as a stylist, and she is awesome. I went in for a quite a few procedures – and they did them all as fast as they could, working efficiently, with an overseer who would come by and check out my color to make sure it was doing what she and Jennifer thought it should (just like in the shows on TV!).
I’d give the place a 5-​star rating, but it’s super, super pricey (my bill was near $ 200), which may or may not be reasonable depending on what I had done (I don’t go often enough to salons to accurately gauge, but I know I got sticker shock when I got the bill).
I’ve had expensive haircuts in the past, and you get what you pay for, so it just depends on how much you want to spend, but, regardless, Mariomax is a fun and lively place. I’d go there a lot more often if I won the lottery!
