Gerald's Salon in Plymouth, MI

This salon is closed permanently. Most of the hair stylists and colorists are at Gina Agosta in Novi.

My mom got me a gift certificate for a facial at Geralds's and it was absolutely HEAVENLY. I've never had a facial before so I didn't really know what to expect. Amy was the aesthetician, and she brought me to a beautiful room with a comfy table/bed, nice low lighting, and the sound of waves. She was so friendly, gentle, and did an amazing job. I don't get pampered too often, so it was such a treat to be able to just lay back and enjoy the facial. Everything she used smelled so nice and was very gentle on my sensitive skin. The hot towels, steam, clay mask, exfoliant, oils, and all the other great products just felt so nice. She took her time and made a couple suggestions after the facial was over. I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend getting a facial from Amy. :)

I am headed for the first time to Gerald's. I have known a number of ladies who have boasted of the salon over the 25 years I've lived in Livonia and Plymouth. I will respond regarding my haircut once I see the result. However, regarding the gentleman who believes that bringing cash for a tip is bordering on illegal, and is that much an inconvenience, I wish to say the following: Small salons like Gerald's, and the numerous other ones around town, are not Starbucks. They are usually owned by a single owner, perhaps a partnership of two. Starbucks is a worldwide company. If my haircut turns out as I wish, I will pay by check, credit card, or cash, whatever the salon accepts. It is not a client's job to monitor or audit a hairdressers' tax return to ascertain whether they take cash only to evade tax. That is a gross assumption that they are dishonest. Perhaps to those who never worry about money, the thought may not occur, but sometimes, a little cash in the pocket at days' end turns into dinner on the table or gas in the car, rather than waiting until the daily credit card charges are tallied and cleared for their distribution the next day, or maybe even end of week. It's probably best to find a boutique salon with cafe' mocha latte' and Chase ATM machines if the time it takes to run to your own ATM for cash is that difficult.

I've been going here for about 7 years now every couple months with Sarah to get my eyebrows and upper lip done. She is amazing and does a great job every single time - I've never been able to trust someone else taking care of my brows.

Elizabeth is a great stylist. She has been cutting my hair for years. Gerald's decided a year or so ago to not allow clients to tip on their credit cards and the explanation that I received from their management was "We are trying to educate our clients that they needs to tip in cash" Really?? That's an explanation? I can go to Starbucks and buy a $3 cup of coffee and put a tip on my credit card there and 99% of other service based businesses. I understand why you don't want to allow tipping on the credit card but in the end it will cost you much more then the taxes and processing fees. Your explanation of "We are trying to educate our clients that tipping is cash only" is laughable and makes no logical sense whatsoever. Your solution? Install a skimmer looking ATM which will costs the client $6 in fees in my case to leave a $7 tip? Another laughable solution. And the best part of all, That ATM is massive red flag that instantly tells an IRS Auditor, "This ATM dispenses cash for the sole purpose of funding unreported tip income." When ATM transaction totals are matched against low reported tip income in the business, IRS will do its own math on tip percentage average from your credit card charges. That few hundred dollars a month it earns for the owner won't put a dent in the back taxes and penalties that will be owed.
