ST. CLAIR SHORES — For the past 21 years Gina Carriveau has owned The Loop Hair and Nail Salon. Recently Gina decided to add a separate room to her shop for tattooing. Her daughter Veronica, a self-taught artist, found a passion in body art. After an extended period of time practicing and being mentored, Veronica was ready to tattoo!
Gina said, “ I saw such an opportunity. Body art has become such a huge thing and St Clair Shores and surrounding areas have welcomed it with open arms!”
There are very few hair salons in the country that also have tattooing available.
The salon has been completely remodeled to accommodate tattooing. When walking into the Loop, the salon is on one side and the tattoo studio is on the other side in a private room.
The Loop stylists, which include Gina, her daughter Deanna and Angela, all specialize in hair color, corrective colors and highlights. They offer haircut services for men, women and children.
The Loop has been a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon since 2009. Gina says “Being a Focus Salon means we get our education primarily from Paul Mitchell and we use and recommend Paul Mitchell Products.”
They also offer minimal nail services including manicure and pedicure and shellac. Facial waxing is also available.
The Loop Hair and Tattoo Studio is located at 25837 Jefferson Ave. in St Clair Shores. For an appointment in the salon, call (586) 772-5667(loop), for a tattoo consultation or an appointment, text Veronica at (586) 569-9625 or Instagram @ Vgracetats.
