The Good Stuff
Blow dries
Customers repeatedly mention polished blow dries, including one review pairing a haircut with a particularly satisfying finish.
Colour work
Reviews describe thoughtful colour planning, including achieving a teenager’s desired shade without bleach and chemicals.
Nail care
Manicures, pedicures and gelish services are often described as neat, professional and gentle.
Clean setting
The salon is described as hygienic, neat, clean and recently renovated, with a brighter layout and free WiFi.
Easy parking
One customer reports easy parking across the street, useful for appointments that are awkward to reach by public transport.
Relaxing extras
The head oil massage is specifically praised as a standout relaxing treatment.
Welcoming team
Multiple reviews describe the staff as friendly and attentive, with tea or coffee sometimes offered during appointments.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm booking. If booking online or across branches, get explicit confirmation first; one customer said no confirmation arrived.
Discuss results. Before a hair treatment, ask exactly what result and duration are realistic, since one customer felt the promised month-long effect was exaggerated.
Share preferences. Explain your hair type, face shape and desired finish during the consultation; reviews say this led to tailored cuts and maintenance advice.
Check nails. Inspect the manicure or pedicure before leaving, as one review noticed marks afterwards and felt filing had been skipped.
Use parking. For a car visit, a review points to easy parking across the street from the salon.

The Bottom Line
Gladys Beauty Saloon-Motor City is a neighbourhood salon where you can book haircuts, colour, blow dries, waxing, facials and nail appointments. The strongest pattern in the reviews is careful hair work: customers describe consultations that take hair type, face shape and desired colour into account, along with advice for maintaining the result at home. Blow dries and hair colour are especially recurring reasons to return.
Nails also receive plenty of praise, from gelish mani-pedis to neat, gentle manicures. Facial, threading and waxing appointments are described as friendly and careful, while the head oil massage gets a specific mention as a relaxing extra. The salon itself has been renovated, with a brighter layout, a clean setting and free WiFi; one customer also mentions easy parking across the street.
There are a couple of practical cautions. One long-term customer reported missing online booking confirmations, branch confusion and difficulty resolving a blocked email ID. Another felt a Nashi Filler Lifting Treatment delivered no visible change, so clarify the expected result and duration before paying for a treatment.
It is also worth checking your nails before leaving, given one report of marks after a mani-pedi.
