Salon Skye Soars ADVERTORIAL There’s always something new at Salon Skye, which despite tremendous growth manages to faithfully offer that home-away-from-home vibe that keeps clients coming back. “We started off with five stylists two years ago and now we have 12 stylists and two makeup artists,” says Owner Traci Saffo. “We have two assistants and are looking for more.” Saffo attributes the salon’s success to her intensely loyal clientele – and with perks like Keurig coffee, lovely decor, a candy bar and even a fireplace, it’s easy to see why. “We have created Skye to be very comfortable and as close to a home as possible,” says Saffo. “We’re a family at Skye, from the staff to the clients.” Clients also appreciate the fact that appointments are confirmed the day before via text message, fun promotions (like earing a Skye note for every spent) and the way Salon Skye supports local charities. “We are constantly donating,” says Saffo. “Our favorite was a oneday fundraiser for Julia’s Journey, which raised thousands of dollars. We also do Christmas in July, where our clients bring in brand-new items for kids at DMC Children’s Hospital. We had tons of bags that we delivered. The hospital was so grateful!” Besides offering the best in hair and nail care, Salon Skye does eyebrows (a more natural look is in, says Saffo) and is constantly on the hunt for the latest new products. Recently added are the hard-to-find Eco Tan self-tanner, the Beauty Blender sponge, and Body Bling by Scott Barnes. Skye has also launched its own private-label makeup line that includes lipstick crayons, bronzers, highlighters and brow fillers. “The colors and applications are unique,” says Saffo. “These are beautiful products that make you feel beautiful.” Salon Skye is known for its popular Blow Dry Bar, with many clients having standing appointments once or twice each week for a shampoo and blowout. One stylist specializes in smoothing unruly hair, which can mean everything from going stick-straight to keeping the curls but eliminating unsightly frizz. The staff also includes extension specialists. Makeup applications include the full deal for wedding and proms, and the popular “Lashes, Lips and Liner” service for a quick, polished look. “It takes just 15 minutes and costs only , including lashes,” Saffo says. “It’s perfect for when you’re going out on a weekend night and want to look especially cute.” Salon Skye is not just a women’s domain – men and children are always welcome for cuts (or just to tag along). Looking for the perfect gift? At SalonSkye.com, you can create your own personalized gift card for that special someone. Whether they are new to the salon or a faithful regular, customers know they will enjoy their “time in the Skye.” Says Saffo, “It’s very comforting here – clients definitely don’t want to leave!” Salon Skye 6080 West Maple Road (just east of Farmington Road) West Bloomfield, MI 48322 (248) 851-SKYE www.SalonSkye.com @salonskye Salon Skye has a great selection of high-quality, hard-to-find products.
