Trendy Beauty Salons in Milwaukee

With new beauty salons and spas cropping up across Milwaukee, it’s hard to know which ones can be trusted for excellence. A salon that looks chic from the street may be nothing more than a mirror maze to a bad haircut. Be prepared to pay more than you would at a Supercuts, but expect a fresher and sharper look than a high-volume chain salon could provide. Remember that truly skilled beauticians keep upping the price as they grow their clientele. The following three establishments have risen to the trendy top in Milwaukee’s beauty salon and spa market.


1. The Establishment
4503 N. Oakland Ave.
Shorewood, WI 53211
414-963-4300

If you thought combining a laundromat and bar was a spiffy business idea, wait until you hear about The Establishment! In addition to all the services you would expect at a trendy beauty salon (haircare, coloring, waxing, facials, and manicures), The Establishment has another business aim: independent film production. Like Beauty (#3), this salon takes a broader approach to personal style and art by linking with other venues for expression. Their website also features daily specials, including $20 haircuts for men with selected stylists or half price Brazilian waxes. And even if you can’t take advantage of a special, this self-labeled “boutique salon” is an affordable yet well-recognized option. Located in the quiet but stylish suburb of Shorewood, The Establishment is only a few blocks north of the Milwaukee border and the UWM campus.


2. Fetish Hair Salon
2481 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
Milwaukee, WI 53207
414-483-8703
