    I visited Mimi today for my first Ouidad style haircut. It was amazing. My hair has always been curly but over the past six years of cancer treatment, my curls disappeared and my hair looked ragged. I decided to finally do something about it and scheduled with Mimi. BEST THING I EVER DID! Mimi was so sweet and kind, she gave me exact instructions on how to best style my hair type and it's multiple textures. There were no 'upsales' involved like at so many salons, just an expert stylist and great advice. I am so thrilled with my haircut, how amazing my natural curls look with Mimi's expert cut and just a bit of the right gel.

    I love Mimi, she is a truly talented a hair dresser. I got a haircut by her about a month ago and I loved it! She also styled it just the way I wanted and it came out beautiful! Mimi is so sweet, friendly and gentle. I will definitely comeback for another haircut or colors in the near future. Thank you Mimi!

    So glad I bit the bullet and got a Ouidad haircut! Mimi is welcoming and taught me how to take care of my curly hair properly. She transformed my dull puffy hair to defined healthy-looking ringlets! My hair feels so light and she got rid of the dreaded pyramid head. The moment she finished styling my hair, I was in complete shock and was overwhelmed happiness! Total game changer to my confidence that day. I'm motivated to achieve those same curls that she brought out on my own.

    I was so happy when my daughter finally decided to start taking care of her curls! I made an appointment for her with Eden who was amazing. She cut my daughter's hair beautifully and taught her how to care for it and style it. We'll be back for sure!

    Right after the haircut. The strands to the left in the photo always give me issues but they actually took my curl pattern today!

    I went in today for a haircut because my curls were getting weighed down. The two ladies were very sweet and professional. The salon is nice and cozy. I've had issues getting the front of my hair to curl up but they were able to do it with no issue. It's very important as someone with curly hair to go to a stylist who has curly hair because they understand the struggle. I'll definitely be going back!

    This was my first time going to Dream Curls Salon. I love my long curly hair so much that I was so nervous to trust someone new to cut it, but I am tired of the turn over at my current salon. Time for something new! Mimi is super nice and being one-on-one with her in the salon was great because we could talk and she taught me a lot of tips for better curl care. I have never heard of Ouidad before and now I want to know all about it. Her cut and color for me was great and the price was right on! I will definitely be returning in a few months. Highly recommend for curly hair (and others too).

    I don't trust anyone but Mimi with my hair! I got the ouidad cut and it my hair never curled this much until I came to Dream Curls Salon. This was truly one of the best decisions I ever made for my hair. Mimi is extremely nice and knowledgeable.

    I've never had a good curly cut my whole life and it took 50+ years to find Mimi. Awesome cut and style. She taught me new ways to use products to produce better curls and lasting curls. I'm on my third cut, it has lasted the longest I've ever had last. I'm normally go 4 to 5 weeks between cuts. I been going 9-10 weeks till my next cut and style. I hate to write a review since I want her all to myself. Mimi's such a treat to visit with on top of her hair knowledge. So happy to have found her. My daughter has curly hair and now goes to her and loves her new hair as well. Best of all... I have been receiving a lot of hair complements!

    I really enjoyed my appointment with Mimi today. She listened to what I wanted and was masterful with her clippers. She shared knowledge about how to care for my curls and was careful with my cut.

    Fantastic haircut, and fantastic service!! Couldn't get anything better! I went to Mimi not knowing what I wanted and very nervous about someone cutting my hair since my last haircut what not the best! She took the time to talk to me, and really listen and hear what I had to say, then she told me her suggestions and we went from there! She took the time to do my hair afterwards and make it look good, I will definitely be going back to her for my next haircut! If you have curly hair, then this is the place to go, hands

    Do you do versus diametrix cuts?

    Hi Sarah, unfortunately, I have never heard of that name before sorry; but I know how to give a very good curly haircut and I will be more than happy to have you come to the salon.… 

    Do you do straight hair to curly hair perms?

    Hi Chhumiong, unfortunately, we don't do perms we only specialize in naturally curly hair.

    Hi I booked an appointment for next month. How should I care for my hair before the appointment?

    Hi Mariah, I never knew about community questions on Yelp I appologize for not responding in timely manner. You can prep your hair by shampooing, conditoning & detnagling your hair the day before your appointment only if you've got very difficult… 

    I have curly hair and I have never dyed it before for the fear of damaging it. I have warm toned skin and I am looking to get highlights in my hair. Do you do consultations?

    Hi Bella you can go ahead and book your appointment I always do a through consultation before any service.

    Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!…read more Y'all, if you're looking for an amazing stylist, look no further. I'm someone who has done a lot to my hair over the years. I previously owned a modeling agency, and we were constantly changing hair styles and working with some of the best stylists in the world. After moving to the Sedona area, I had three disappointing experiences in a row--honestly, some of the worst hair I've ever had. I finally decided to make the trip to Scottsdale, where I knew I could find someone who truly cared about their craft. After doing some research, I chose this salon and booked with Lisa. In just one appointment, she completely understood what I wanted and delivered it flawlessly. With over 20 years of experience, she made what seemed impossible look effortless. She not only got me back to where I wanted to be--she exceeded my expectations. What I appreciated most was that she listened. Really listened. Then she combined that understanding with incredible skill and precision. On top of that, she's an absolute delight to spend time with. If you've been struggling to find a stylist you trust, I know how stressful that can be. Great hair makes such a difference, and we all deserve exceptional service and results. Run, don't walk, and book with Lisa. You'll be so glad you did! xoxo

    Think twice before you go to this place! I honestly have…read morenever had an experience like this with a haircut, and I'm still incredibly frustrated and upset about it. I showed exactly what I wanted simple face framing and long layers but my hair was cut so unevenly that the layers didn't blend at all. There were random short pieces, completely different lengths, and the back was uneven and had no shape. It genuinely looked like a 5 year old had cut my hair, not a certified professional. Almost everyone who has seen my hair since has asked me the same thing: how could this possibly happen at a professional salon? Yes, I received a full refund, and I appreciate that. But I then had to go somewhere else to try to fix the damage. The second stylist had to take off even more hair, so I lost both the length AND the density of my hair just to make it look somewhat normal again. And even now, there is only so much that can be fixed. I have to wait for it to grow out. What frustrated me even more was how the situation was handled afterward. I asked the manager for their number because I genuinely wanted someone to explain to me HOW this happened. She never responded. I got my money back, but I felt absolutely no real empathy or understanding of what I was dealing with just scripted comments like I would be sad like you too and "Everybody loves this hairstylist. That completely misses the point. This is MY hair. I can't undo what was done. Giving me my money back doesn't give me back the length and density I lost or change how awful I feel every time I look at my hair. I wasn't looking for drama or anything extra from them. I just wanted someone to actually acknowledge how badly this went, take it seriously, and explain how something like this could happen with a professional stylist. I never got that.

    I found the vidogi salon by total chance. Today I was driving and saw it was near my hotel in…read moreScottsdale so I called and asked if they had last minute availability and they did. I immediately looked them up on Yelp and saw great reviews so I came in. The price seemed a little on the high side but they are in old town Scottsdale which is an expensive area. So I said screw it and let's splurge a little. From my moment I arrived the stylist Nikki noticed my hair needed a special shampoo after she ran her hands through it. The shampoo was called a clarifying shampoo. I'm 40 and no one has ever once used that on me before I didn't even know what it meant. But I really felt like there was attention to detail happening from the moment I walked in. I got a cut from her and she asked my goals and made some immediate recommendations and gave me some options. I picked to grow it out more so we didn't layer it yet. And she styled my head really nicely and suggested a product that was lighter on my hair that I should use and she showed me how she styled it. She also gave me a blowout and did some really fancy style in the back of my hair too. I got my hair color done by her too and she's the first one to notice the parts of my hair that had more stubborn follicles and she went into it with more detail and made extra passes in those parts. Lastly when she did my beard she put aluminum metal sheets over it so the color sets in better, no one has done that with me either. I don't remember everything she said in detail but she spoke like she was a true expert of hair and color. Not your typical stylist that just knows how to do the job, she's a real professional. Lastly she's super friendly and personable, and she made the entire experience very delightful. Worth every penny and more, I'll definitely be coming back here for my hair.

I wanted a balayage with a shadow root the girl says no highlights are cheaper and better less maintenance . I said okay whatever you recommend. She does it I get a curly cut where that came out good. Then I leave mind you I'm there all day from 1130 am till 530 I don't see the orange in my hair and streaks like if I'm 12 years old. I go back the next day ask to fix it with toner and to please shadow root the top I don't lol streaks on top of it I have curly hair and the more it gets died the more it will fall out. Well Tanya tells me she too busy and will have someone else wash out my hair. That someone else was very unexperienced left chemicals in my scalp I had to pull over to the side of the road to wash it off. I left wet because she didn't even have moose or product in my hair only put oil. The diffuser fell on my head the owner dominque Watkins mouth dropped I then got upset and left. Again pulled over to wash out my hair and run home to wash it out three times. My hair line is messed up as well and unfortunately need Vaseline to take product off. I will never go back hete again I can't even fix it and dye my hair again for a while without causing damage and it's going to fall out. Train better hairstylist and dont over charge stating you can do curly hair when it's a lie. I'm the inconvenience because you are overbooked ? Don't be greedy owners and learn to train your staff
