Tonic Salon and Gallery

I made an appointment at Tonic after a couple of coworkers of mine told me that they go here. Both of these ladies have great hair… so I knew I’d be in good hands.
I made an appointment with Chris, solely based on availability, and did I ever luck out. Chris was amazing. She LISTENED to what I wanted and what my concerns were. We literally sat in front of the mirror together before she did anything so I could talk to her about what I liked and didn’t like about my hair. She immediately understood what I was after and she totally FIXED MY HAIR! After she was done she asked me to run my hands through my hair just to double check that I was good with how the cut was going to lay, etc. This is the first time in over a year that I woke up the day after a cut and loved my hair. What a relief! I finally found my stylist! :)
I am so thrilled to have found Tonic and Chris. The space is creative and comfortable… the staff are friendly and funny. Love this place. I love Chris. I am a big fan.
Check it out.

Excellent stylists and affordable prices. Alicia gave me the best color I have ever had. Also, now I’m happy to see my favorite Traverse City aesthetician, Tonya, has moved to Tonic so I can get everything done in one place.

First of all: Mary is the best stylist in Traverse City, hands down. She’s been cutting my hair for over 15 years and I cannot say enough good things about her work and her as a person.
The salon is beautiful with a friendly, artsy, laid-​back vibe; it feels like a place you’d find in Brooklyn or Portland. I brought my wedding party here and the hair-​styles were KILLER. Two of the girls had fairly complicated retro styles and they turned out just breath-​takingly excellent – both were done by Shawnee. Mary also did my make-​up that day and it was flawless and exactly what I asked for.
You rock, Tonic!
