Skye Salon & Spa in downtown Grosse Pointe is branching into a blow-dry bar and express service concept with its soon to open Skyetique.
Skyetique Boutique & Beauty Bar is scheduled to open later this month, and a grand opening party is planned for Nov. 29.
Like Skye Salon, a Grosse Pointe staple that's operated from an upstairs space overlooking the Village business district, Skyetique will be located on Kercheval Avenue, but will be about a mile down the road in Grosse Pointe Park in an an old, but re-emerging business district known as The Park.
Besides the blow dry bar, Skyetique will have a tanning area, make-up area, and offer pedicure and manicures and other services that can be ordered via iPads, which will also let customers browse the online store for merchandise they might want to take home.
The new salon is opening in the same neighborhood as Atwater Brewery, which is turning a church into a biergarten and pub and where the Red Crown restaurant opened over a year ago. Several other businesses have opened or are expected to open as the city makes plans to close and redesign the roadway into a pedestrian-centered boulevard. It's all in large part driven by the civic-minded and philanthropic Cotton family of the Grosse Pointes.
