DaVinci’s Salon & Gallery

I’ve been going to Michelle for over three years. I now drive over 20 miles one way so that she can cut my hair. She knows what is right for my face shape and always has great recommendations. I have always left satisfied. We have great conversations while I’m getting my hair done. I highly recommend Michelle!

For a blowout which will last at least ten days, go see Sanjoy at Davincis Salon and Gallery in Ann Arbor. He is the absolute best in town. I ‘ve been going to him for more than a year, and I will continue to have him cut, color and blowout my hair as long as he is there.

Wouldn’t even write this if there wasn’t so many concurrent things wrong. Sanjoy, while charismatic and funny, talked a far better game than he cut hair. He freelanced something far different from my request. It was uneven, grew out poorly and didn’t look good to begin with. Sanjoy also charged $ 45 for, probably, the worst haircut I’ve ever received and stated «this is the best haircut you’ll have have.» No, Sanjoy, it is not. It is, in fact, the worst.

I have been going to angel for my hair for over 13 years. She is an amazing hair stylist. Not only do I always come out feeling better about myself, I can actually sit down and tell her to do what ever she wants. She knows me well enough to know thay if I say I want my hair cut off she can tell if I am not really ready for that. I love the comfort of knowing that I will always leave satisfied. Angel also makes the time and effort to make me feel welcome at whatever salon she has ever worked for. She has been the only one I trusted with my hair since I was 18 years old.

Strongly agree with Sarah W. I recently had a very similar experience. I’m very disappointed in my «balayage».

I was not happy with my color here at all. I specifically chose Angela based on her speciality of «creative coloring» on their website. Angela was very friendly, but she did not give me what I asked for at all. I showed her a few photos of some multi colored highlights. She ended up just selecting three tiny chunks of hair and coloring them all one color. Now, I realize that I should have spoken up and advocated for myself, so that’s on me. But, I did show her at least three photos, so I really a feel that she should have done what the photos showed, especially since I said I want it just like this (referring to the photos). The color used was very nice, but it was not what I asked for and not nearly as dramatic as I wanted. I have since gotten my hair colored by another salon and they did exactly what I wanted. Oh, and she charged me $ 210!!! Just for a trim and highlights of three tiny pieces of hair. Way too overpriced in my opinion.

I have been going to Rachel for almost two years now and she is fantastic! I like to change up my style fairly often and she always has fresh ideas and suggestions. I have very thick, wavy hair and she takes the time to teach me how to style my hair at home. My boyfriend also goes to her. Highly recommended!

I hate to write a negative review of this salon because I loved my experience there, but was very unhappy with my resulting cut. Since coming to school in Ann Arbor, I have been looking for a place to get my hair dyed. I was recommended this salon by a friend who lives here and made my appointment. I saw Sanjoy and he was very personal, funny and entertaining. He told me that I should cut my hair shorter, but I conveyed very strongly that I wanted at most a small trim of no more than ¼ inch and just to have it dyed. He told me that he would do whatever I want. He dyed my hair and trimmed it. When finished, he started to blow dry it out and I noticed it was very, very short. Since I have very thick hair, hairstylists take a lot of time thinning and going through the dead ends, which I though he was doing. When finished I had at least 4+ inches cut off. He then asked me «Do you like it?» I was in shock that he did this and just shook my head looking for an answer. He then held his hands up modeling about a 5 inch span and said «I took this much off, I knew you’d like it.» I am so unhappy with the length that took me YEARS to grow out. I strongly and forwardly told him I did NOT want it cut, and like most stylists do, he took it into his own hands and I am very unhappy. I am also displeased with the fact that, when dying my hair (since it was so long), he had to make a second batch of color which probably added an extra cost, yet he just cut the extra hair off anyway; so I essentially paid for more hair color and the cost of cutting it off, which I also didn’t want. I will not be returning to this salon as I wish to find a hairstylist that stays true to their word of «doing whatever I want.» Very, very disappointed. And since my hair takes a very long time to grow, I guess I’ll have to wait another year for the mistake to be fixed.

Kenta is awesome! I recommended him to all my Asian friends and they are all very happy about the haircut! Make sure to make an appointment 2 weeks in advance since he’s so popular.

Rachel is amazing! I have VERY curly hair and she knows exactly how to cut it. I’ve had a lot of problems with this in the past so it was a relief to find someone who knew what they were doing. She also colored my hair from red back to my natural color, dark brown, and matched my natural color perfectly! If you need a great stylist go see Rachel W!

I get my haircut from Sanjoy. He is by far the best hair stylist I have ever come across. Every haircut I’ve received has been top notch. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is trying to look his or her best!

I always come here for my hair needs since i discovered this place when I bought a groupon. It’s not outrageously expensive like the other salons (salon vox). Vince is a great guy and always recommends the best products and styling tips. He’s never been pushy into buying products and his prices are reasonable. I always had the problem of telling my hair dressers NOT TO cut my hair short as I’ve been trying to grow them long. But they just don’t seem to understand. Vince, on the other hand, listens to you and not just do wat he wants with your hair. Thanks to him, my hair is longer and less damaged and just Awesome! I am gonna miss him as I’ll be moving out of the area soon and you don’t really find good hair dressers everyday. Only if he could move too! Lol
Anyways, try him once, he’s great at wat he does!

I have never been so happy with a salon experience, I just had to write this review.
Went on a whim after finding a groupon for Vince yesterday, and they got me in with him the same day! He was so great – friendly, genuine, and for the first time in my 25 years on this earth, a stylist actually LISTENED when I said I just want the ends off — normally that means they take 2−3″ off. I normally have short hair but it’s now midway down my back as I’ve been growing it out, so I’m getting to be one of those people attached to my length. I was pretty shocked when he did exactly as I asked, and it turned out beautifully. He also guaranteed the haircut, so if I find anything wrong, I can stop in and he’ll fix it up right then! Such a nice guy to talk to, and a great experience overall. I’ve finally found my new stylist in town! I’ve been using groupons to find a great place and stylist, and now I can finally stop looking. Highly highly recommend Vince!

Sanjoy, who is in from Chicago twice a month, gave me what my husband described as «The best haircut of my life,» yesterday. He is extremely knowledgeable about hair, particularly what will look good with hair types and faces. He refused to give me bangs, which I appreciated, saying they were wrong for me. Additionally, he cut my hair with a razor and I have long, thick, wavy hair and it looks gorgeous.
The best part? My husband had been over at Salon Vox, having his mane massacred. He walked in to Davinci’s to see me and announced he wasn’t leaving the house for two months. Sanjor sat him down and in about 15 minutes, fixed his hair (for free!) so that there were no more threats to become a hermit. Highly, highly recommended if you can get in with him while he’s in town.

Working about a block away from Davinci’s, I’m quite biased by the convenience of the location. For people coming in from the downtown area, parking might be an issue.
Reception is friendly and capable of quickly switching my schedule around (which I do a lot — sorry Vince!). They also offer free coffee and tea for my wait — my wait-​time has been averaging about at about a minute.
I go to Vince — great guy for listening to suggestions and offering his own to work on a stylin’ haircut. I just go with the standard men’s trim, which is great for a boring guy like myself. Vince specializes in women’s color/​highlights and extensions, though. I might not be his «bread n’ butter» in relation to his other clients, but Vince treats me like I’m in business class all the way. I especially like the hair washing before the cut — something I should probably practice more at home.

I have been going to Davinci’s for a couple years now and I have always been happy with my haircut. Kenta is definitely THE best stylist in the Ann Arbor area for Asian hair. I have gone to many different salons for 10 years but never had a haircut that I was happy with… until I found this place. I have long straight hair (which you would think is easy to style), and I am so relieved that I don’t have to give Kenta much directions (I am very very picky), and I always end up with a style that looks good and is easy to manage.
Since my first visit at Davinci’s, I have referred a dozen friends to Kenta and they have all been very happy with the results. I would definitely try it! $ 46 is very reasonable for a good haircut — it is something that you/​other people see everyday.
Usually to get Kenta you have to make an appointment a week or two in advance … walk-in’s are almost impossible.

I’ve been going to Lindsaya for the last 3 years or so — and she’s a goddess with thick hair. I have naturally wavy hair that grows in by the bushell and she always manages to tame it and give me a stylish look that I love. I went from a Victoria Beckham short bob down to my current long hair and she’s made me look great for all the steps in between.
Not overpriced at all — totally worth the service. I know my girl is only there a couple of days a week — and I hate to tell the world how good she is incase she ever leaves — but she’s awesome.
Otherwise — the space is well used, the reception area is comfortable — the wash basins don’t hurt the back of your head — they don’t push products all over you — the floors are clean and the staff are all nice.

The hair stylist I’ve gone to since I moved to Ann Arbor recently moved to Davinci’s from another local salon, and I saw her there for the first time last weekend. I can’t help it, I hate the name Davinci’s, but other than that, I have no complaints. My first visit there was really lovely. The space is a little compact, but clean and really pleasant, high ceilings and simple, classic décor.
Having seen Madalyn for years (I still can’t believe I’ve been in Ann Arbor that long) before she came to Davinci’s, I can recommend her wholeheartedly for curly or straight styles. She somehow cuts my hair in a way that looks good curly or straight, which it turns out is a rare talent. So I’m in for Davinci’s, despite the name. And they seem to have reasonably priced (for Ann Arbor) manicures, so perhaps I’ll try that next…

I got my hair cut here by Kenta a couple months back, and I have to say that I’ve enjoyed my hair since then and it has been growing out nicely. He took my direction on wanting more volume and used dry texturing techniques that actually lifted my hair by taking the weight out.
Of course, not everything is perfect. There was one thing that irked me. I am a long haired person (yes, I said that). My hair was down to my ass at the time being and I was actually desperate to get some length cut off. I was thinking maybe 4 – 6 inches at most, and this is what he agreed to, but it ended up more like 6 – 8. I’ll live with it and change is alright, but it’s not what we discussed. This seems to be standard practice with all of the stylists I’ve met in my life (minus one) — if it’s long, they are liberal with the scissors. Anyway, the hair still came out great so I didn’t mind too much but I did end up going through 2 days of separation anxiety, which wasn’t too much fun… Either way though, very skilled stylist that I will go back to, worth $ 50.
The interior of the salon was definitely clean and well put together. The receptionist was friendly, the other stylists also seemed to be conversing and in tune with their clients. But I will say that I noticed at certain times that the staff was idle and sitting around not doing much. This included the stylist two chairs down at the time and an assistant reading a book while there were no heads to shampoo. As a customer, it just looked like people were a bit too comfortable in there, which made me uncomfortable. Maybe I’m exuding too much Tabatha Coffey but that’s what I experienced, on that day. Anyway, I will probably go back next time, and I’d definitely recommend Kenta!

Donzell, Donzell, Donzell. Where do I start? Donzell is the African American male hair stylist at the Davinci Salon. He is very flamboyant and is a real diva. I have gone to him several times to get my hair pressed and curled when my regular hair stylist is overbooked. He will deliver «Oprah-​looking» hair styles but at the expense of hair care. Also, if you have natural hair and you would like to maintain your original curl pattern, stay away from him or you may experience irreversible heat damage– I have.
Additional cons:
Although the salon accepts credit cards, he doesn’t. On top of that, if you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment you will have to reschedule and you will be required to pay a $ 25 late fee at your next hair appointment.
