Quick info
About Alta Moda Salon
On Gratiot Ave in Detroit, Alta Moda Salon is a beauty salon offering hair styling alongside nail services in the same shop. Cuts and styling run beside acrylics and tips from a nail tech, with wash-and-style combos priced together. The salon opens Wednesday through Saturday and stays closed the rest of the week. Appointments are recommended, though walk-ins may be accepted for those without one booked ahead. Having both hair and nail services under one roof lets customers combine appointments in a single visit rather than scheduling separate trips to different shops.

Customer Review Summary
Hair styling draws most of the praise, with several reviewers crediting individual stylists for regrowing breakage or delivering cuts they return for repeatedly, and one walk-in customer describing a wash and two strands done for a fair price. Nail services also come up positively, with a "beat face" and grind-out energy some regulars enjoy in the everyday, unpretentious atmosphere. But scheduling and staff conduct pull the pattern down hard: one reviewer had a 6pm appointment moved for a heating issue, then was rescheduled to a slot no one showed up for despite repeated calls and voicemails, costing them PTO. Others describe a shift toward loud talk, profanity, and rude attitudes after longtime staff departed, including one account of a nail tech who repeatedly cut a customer's fingers with a file while on her phone, and a separate report of a stylist called nasty and unprofessional during a daughters' visit.

“I scheduled a 6pm appointment for a Wednesday since I’m not off work until 5pm. I received a call that morning saying their heat wasn’t working. They rescheduled me for Saturday at 11:30am and I called off work for the appt. I arrived 15 min early and the shop was closed so I waited a while. At 11:30am there was still no one there. I must’ve called 5 or 6 times and left 2 voicemails. No one ever showed up or called me back. I live 30 minutes away and used my PTO. What a waste! Ugh 😑”

“My hair stylist did a very very great job on my hair. When I went to her in February my hair was breaking off she cut it down really really low. Then I went to her in August of this year and now my hair has grew she does a excellent job on your hair.”

“Loved my experience there at ALTA MODA hair salon. My new stylist Ms.C is truly God send, I myself is a licensed hairstylist and it was truly a pleasure to sit in someone's chair that listened and understood my needs. Love my hair can't wait for my next appt.”

“This place is GHETTO and UNPROFESSIONAL... I took my daughters there for service and Shavone was their stylist. Her attitude was nasty and she was rude. Waste of time and money. DON'T GO THERE.”
