Our mission at Daybreak is to create outer beauty beginning with inner harmony and well being.

In 1973 Mary Toffoli opened “Mary’s Beauty Boutique” in Southgate, Michigan. Two years later, she married Gary Rushlow and they began a new joint venture, Headway Salon.

For more than 30 years, Mary and Gary owned and operated Headway while raising their family.

In 2007, the team relocated, rebranded and expanded the thriving family business, adding spa services to become “Daybreak Salon and Spa” in Woodhaven, Michigan. The tradition of highly talented, professional experts who greet and treat each client as a valued guest grew its Downriver presence. And now, the next generation has been award-winning, serving its mission and heritage to care for guests’ inner and outer beauty.

With more than 50 years behind the chair and ahead of the competition, Daybreak is  devoted to making you feel and look more beautiful.

Family focused with an award-winning team who gives an extraordinary experience that you’ll love.  Easy, friendly and committed to pairing you with the perfect partner for a long and beautiful friendship.

Daybreak stylists are experienced experts on the cutting edge of styles to suit your lifestyle and complement your hair’s natural beauty. They can help with complimentary color consultations that match a tone, color or vibrant to make your eyes pop, heads spin and everyone ask “who does your hair?”

Voted downriver’s perennial favorite, #1 Beauty Bar and Spa AND #1 Nail Salon, Daybreak sets the pace for spa services. Relaxing and intimate full-services spa services include massage, nails, esthetics, too.

Thank you for the opportunity and privilege to welcome you as our guest. We look forward to a beautiful friendship.
