The holiday season at BA Salon Collective isn’t just about looking beautiful—it’s about connection, creativity, and belonging.
Here in Metro Detroit, we’re turning November and December into a celebration of community, empowerment, and artistry. Our calendar is filled with events that bring people together, hands-on workshops that teach real skills, and retail moments that feel more like treasure hunts with your best friend than a typical shopping trip.
At BA Salon Collective, we’ve always believed a salon should be more than a place to get your hair done—it should be a hub of inspiration and collaboration. A space where creativity meets community, learning happens naturally, and every guest leaves feeling more confident, supported, and seen.
November Events: Community, Creativity & Skill Building
This month, we’re celebrating the power of coming together with gatherings that mix empowerment, practical education, and just the right amount of fun.
Braids, Beauty & Game-Day Confidence Workshop
Saturday, November 16th brings our Braids, Beauty & Game-Day Confidence workshop from 6:00–7:30 PM. This isn’t your typical braiding class: we’re pairing hands-on technique with confidence-building exercises that remind you of a simple truth: you are enough.
Limited to just 10 participants, this intimate workshop creates space for real learning and genuine connection. Whether you’re preparing for game day, date night, or just want to master some new styles for everyday confidence, our team will guide you through braiding techniques while weaving in affirmations and empowerment practices.
Mom to Mom Market & Empowerment Series – Lions Edition
The same day, November 16th, we’re hosting our Mom to Mom Market & Empowerment Series with a special Lions theme from 11am-5pm. This community marketplace transforms our salon into a vibrant hub where local families can shop secondhand finds, discover handmade treasures, and connect with neighbors.
Wear your Lions gear and you could win a BA Salon Collective gift card! The $2 entry fee supports our community initiatives, and the clothing rack will be packed with fashion finds perfect for the season. It’s more than shopping: it’s about sustainable living, supporting local families, and celebrating the spirit of giving.
December Highlights: Winter Care & Holiday Giving
December brings cozy vibes and purposeful gathering as we focus on winter hair care and holiday spirit.
Braids & Blowouts: Winter Hair Care Edition
Sunday, December 7th features our Braids & Blowouts: Winter Hair Care Edition workshop. This 90-minute class from 6:00-7:30 PM is designed for ages 13+ and limited to 10 participants, ensuring everyone gets personalized attention.
Winter weather can wreak havoc on our hair, but with the right techniques and products, you can maintain healthy, gorgeous locks all season long. We’ll cover protective braiding styles, proper blowout techniques for winter hair, and product recommendations that actually work. Pre-registration is required at $25 per person: an investment in skills you’ll use all winter long.
Mom to Mom Market: Sweater Weather Edition
Also on December 7th from 11am-5pm, we’re hosting our Sweater Weather Mom to Mom Market. This holiday-themed marketplace is perfect for finding unique gifts, cozy winter essentials, and handmade treasures that can’t be found in big box stores.
Enter our sweater contest for a chance to win a BA Salon Collective gift card! The $2 entry fee continues to support our community empowerment initiatives, and you’ll discover everything from vintage finds to handcrafted holiday gifts.
Our Saturday Pop-Ups: Weekly Creativity & Connection
Every Saturday, our salon transforms into something special. These pop-up events rotate themes and offerings, creating fresh experiences that keep our community engaged and excited. From mini-makeover sessions to product launches, styling workshops to creative collaborations, our Saturday pop-ups are where spontaneity meets skill.
The beauty of these events lies in their flexibility: we respond to what our community needs, what the season demands, and what our hearts are calling us to create. Some Saturdays might feature quick braiding tutorials, others might showcase new retail arrivals or host mini photoshoots for confidence building.
Our Sunday Mom-to-Mom Markets: Sustainable Community Building
Our Sunday markets have become a cornerstone of what we do at BA Salon Collective. These aren’t just sales events: they’re community builders, sustainability champions, and empowerment platforms all rolled into one beautiful Sunday afternoon.
The concept is simple but powerful: create a space where parents can sell items their families have outgrown, buy quality secondhand goods at accessible prices, and connect with neighbors who share similar values. Every market includes opportunities for local artisans, small business owners, and creative families to showcase their work.
What makes these markets special is the intentionality behind them. We’re not just facilitating transactions: we’re building relationships, supporting sustainable practices, and creating economic opportunities within our own community.
The BA Salon Collective Retail Experience: Curated for Your Success
Our retail wall isn’t just another display of products hoping to catch your eye. Every item we carry has been chosen because we believe in it, use it behind the chair, and can confidently recommend it to support your hair’s health and your styling goals.
Brands That Deliver Results
Eufora leads our collection with clean, botanically-based formulas that work for all hair types. Their Hero men’s line brings professional quality to masculine hair care, while Aloetherapy products provide gentle solutions for sensitive scalps and skin conditions.
Amika brings fun and high-performance together in color care, hydration, and styling support. These products don’t just work: they make the process enjoyable with vibrant packaging and formulas that smell as good as they perform.
Paul Mitchell and Tea Tree classics anchor our collection with time-tested formulas for balance, scalp refresh, and reliable results. These are the products many of us grew up using, and they remain staples for good reason.
Accessories That Matter
Kitsch accessories fill our displays with satin pillowcases, shower caps, styling bonnets, and heatless curl options that protect your hair while you sleep and style. These aren’t just cute accessories: they’re tools for healthier hair.
Our specialty brushes from brands like CALA offer wet-to-dry detangling in designs that make you smile every time you use them. Function meets beauty in these carefully selected tools.
The Try-Before-You-Invest Philosophy
We offer mini sizes of most shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and treatments because we believe you should love what you’re using. These travel-friendly sizes let you test formulas, build custom routines, and travel with carry-on convenience.
QR Code Convenience
Every retail item features a QR code that connects you to our online ordering system. Scan it in the salon, order from home, and have your stylist’s exact recommendations delivered to your door. No more trying to remember product names or making extra trips to the salon.
The Experience Itself
Our retail area reflects our salon’s personality: warm colors, thriving plants, and that signature “good vibes only” energy we’re known for. We encourage touching, testing, and asking questions because choosing the right products should feel like getting advice from a friend who happens to be a professional.
Everything is displayed intentionally, creating an experience that feels more like exploring a beautifully curated boutique than shopping a typical salon retail wall. The space invites discovery while providing the professional guidance you need to make informed choices.
Holiday Gift Ideas & Seasonal Shopping
This season, our retail collection becomes your secret weapon for meaningful gift-giving. Satin pillowcases and bonnets make perfect stocking stuffers that show you care about someone’s hair health. Mini product sets let you introduce friends to professional-quality care without overwhelming them with full-size commitments.
Our seasonal accessories rotate to include gift-ready items perfect for the beauty lover in your life, while our established product lines offer the reliability needed for anyone looking to upgrade their hair care routine.
