I’d give Zero Stars if I could!!! I went to this salon thinking they knew what they were doing. Wrong! First visit of 2 I left with my hair just as dark as I went in and had to pay 310.00 after I sat in the chair for more than 7 hours. They insisted another couple visits and I’d get SAFELY where I wanted in color. Plus I was told it would be half of what I paid for my next visit. Ten weeks later I paid 355.00 and left lighter but a lot of my hair fell out in the salon sink, and then continued to break off it was so heavily damaged. They had 4 people stepping in to do my hair because they overbooked. I had to ask several times about over processing time because they kept stepping away to do other clients. They threw some curl in my hair so I didn’t notice until the next day that none of my 2 inch grey roots were touched. This visit I once again had to sit for another 7 hours and again listen to all the employees talking about their sex lives in some graphic language. This is totally unprofessional! And, It’s anything but a relaxing visit. When I called to complain and get them to do their job and take care of my roots, I was told I’d have to pay another 110.00 for my roots. Totally unacceptable! so I had to demand they take care of it “or else”, and finally they reluctantly did. In 2 months though my hair became very Orange and extremely course, but I was overseas so I was forced to wear a lot of hats for the next 3 months. Once I returned to Houghton Lake in May I went to another salon and had the Best! customer service and treatment. We did the same full head highlight treatment, but also had additional deep conditioning treatments, and I only paid 160.00. They even sent me home with free product to further help the previous damage. This time I only sat in the chair for 4 very relaxing hours. I’m very angry that we ended up having to cut 6 inches off my hair from all the damage done by La Vie carelessness. La Vie is NOT a professional place of business. It’s ALL about nickel and diming you. In all I spent 665.00 for them to destroy my hair in 2 visits. Whereas, in 1 very professional visit down the road from La Vie, I spent 160.00 and my hair is finally in beautiful shape and the color is simply gorgeous.

I was in a rush and the young lady that works there waxed my lip and eyebrows. The cost was more than reasonable and I appreciated her eye for detail.

Sabrina and her girls are always the best. I’ve lived here 10 years and rarely treat myself. But when I do, Sabrina has always been my go to. And today I stormed into her salon upset at the barber across the road for breaking my sons heart, and even though they do not even do boys cuts here, they took my son right in and did an INCREDIBLE JOB!! When we left my son had the biggest smile and said “this is the best day ever” because they gave him the very cut he had his heart set on. Thank you girls so much! You’re truly the best 💜💜 I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Needed a new salon and stylist after moving to the area from downstate. Decided to try La Vie En Rose because of the good reviews. So happy with the cut and color Morgan gave me. I love how all the girls work together to make their clients happy. Cute place too! Highly recommend!

Brittany at the Houghton Lake salon is AMAZING! She always takes the time to listen to me, offer suggestions if I'm stuck, and she is sweet as a peach! She does amazing work, too. I don't tend to have much conversation in the salon chair because it's my getaway pampering and relaxation time, so I stay pretty quiet, and she always respects that. 100000/10 will recommend her every time! Thanks, Brittany!! ❤️ The other girls at the salon are amazing as well! They are so sweet, and just a hoot to be around!
