My first time here. Sara was my stylist. I told her I wanted my blonde highlights back and to make sure they were not brassy. She had me foiled up, rather quickly. Loved the color, she gave me a trim, after putting a toner on. I was impressed. The charges were more than reasonable. I would definitely go back and see her again. read more

The price went up $20.00 since last week so ask for pricing if this is your frist time or a repeat customer

I'm not sure if the stylist was rushing but I'm very disappointed with my haircut. It looks nothing like the reference pictures I showed. It's completely uneven and sloppy looking. I will not be back. read more

Danielle is my go to girl for years. Had a 9 am appointment which was good. Staff not quite ready @9 unfortunately but not too long to wait. Facility clean and organized. Prices are super. read more

Yes, this review is currently only based off of customer service which is THE WORST! You want stylists to run their mouths, not only to other stylists but customers, when you called to ask for directions? Then, be told it's over a hour wait for a haircut when NO ONE ELSE is in the lobby but you? Professionalism? Definitely not at this location thus far and questioning if I trust these "professionals" to cut my hair. read more

Last week we played with new hair color. Heidi is always spot on with colors. She has a great background. I love going here cause everyone is so cool. And, from what I've seen, they all know their stuff. I went from the pastels to the magenta and I absolutely love it As always, thanks Heidi. read more

My style for hair cuts has been to get a trim every 6ish months to maintain my 'mermaid' hair as I call it. I was so ready for a change and feeling nervous about getting a blunt cut, with more than a couple inches taken off. I asked my friends who are former stylists by profession and this specific Fantastic Sams was the recommendation. I was told to go to this location and see anyone, and that's what I did! My waxer a couple days before said 'good luck, I would not go to a place like that for my haircut' and I cannot wait to see her again to show her how awesome it turned out. I forgot the name of the stylist who helped me, she was so kind, and every stylist there was chatty and friendly, even those not helping me. I also loved seeing the regulars come in and out for their 10-minute haircuts while I sat for my short wait. I will be returning! read more

I will never trust anyone else with my hair. I've been going to Sara for around 5 years. She does an amazing job with color and cuts and she actually listens to what her clients want. She fixed my hair after someone else at a different salon in Scottsdale had butchered it! The rest of the stylists at Fantastic Sams Rural location are also wonderful, kind, and great at what they do. Prices are the best in town! 5/5 stars! read more

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves-if you have curly/wavy hair and have had your haircut butchered elsewhere, they have stylists here that know how to dry-cut your hair to work with your natural curl/wave structure. I no longer look like Hagrid from Harry Potter-or worse yet, Lord Farquaad from Shrek-thank you so much for helping me to love my hair again!!! read more

This place is horrible... I asked for a trim and Becky/Rebecca cut my hair. Not only did she cut off 6-8 INCHES OFF WHEN I ASKED FOR A TRIM. SHE TRIED TO COVER IT UP! She left the top layer longer to cover up where she cut my hair completely off. I don't understand how you can accidentally cut 6-8 inches off and then cover it up but not actually cutting the rest of my hair. I hope no one uses this mean person with no hair cutting skills what so ever! I have been by the store to make sure she has a license. They said she does but I don't believe you could have a license and mess up this bad. She was at the store both times I came in and she NEVER SAID SORRY!! I had to go to my old salon and get 6 inches off my hair all the way around because of this crap. I was going on a trip to visit family and I was so upset. Hope she gets her head out of the "clouds"! read more

For the price, how can you top this place? Me: buzzcut. The wife: hair color The price: about $75 Now, you'd think that a chain would be mediocre. However, this place offers great quality hair services. My wife was left with a little bit of a dark line at the top of her forehead, but her hair otherwise looks good. We've been here several times and have always been pleased with the results. We think you will be too. Skip the fancy salon for once and give them a try. read more

If I could give this salon 0 stars, I would. I have been a customer and Sarah has been cutting my hair for 10 years. I always tip $20, even on a $17 haircut, and it is not appreciated. The stylists seem stressed out, they are rude, and gossip. The salon is dirty. I even got lice from this salon many years ago. Today I called to schedule an appointment and the person who answered the phone was rude. I called to ask if Sarah was available for a cut and color and the person who I was speaking with asked Sarah, I was trying to explain what I wanted and the person cut me off and said "Sarah is busy and you can tell her when you get here". I said "excuse me" and asked what that person name was and she laughed. I asked her to put Sarah on the phone- since Sarah is the manager and Sarah yelled "I'm busy", then got on the phone and confirmed the appointment. After thinking about their poor customer service skills, I decided to call back and cancel. When I called to cancel (instead of not showing up like I wanted) the person canceled and just hung up on me. Poor customer service skills! Unprofessional! This is not the first time I have had an issue with employees being rude. Anytime I get color from this salon, I don't love it. I like my cut 75% of the time. Even thought I don't love my cut and color, to be honest I don't love my hair so it's not Sarah's fault completely. My husband and I will never go to this salon again, I don't recommend it. Too bad for Sarah as I am a big tipper. I hope the owner reads this review- your staff sucks. Sarah seems bored and unhappy. Grace is the only employee who is professional and seems to like her job. It's too bad, 10 years of dedication to your salon and I'm treated like trash! If these employees were my employees, I'd fire them! Clean your Salon! Lower your prices!!!!!! read more

This place is my go to hair salon as well as my family's. Maurice is the greatest stylist. He leave me feeling confident with my hair and listens to exactly what i want but goes above and beyond even with my lack of a cosmetologist vocabulary. I definitely recommend this salon! read more

Sarah did so great, I have been going to her for years and she always makes the time for me. She is so sweet and every time I go it's never dull! She always makes sure I get the best price as well, if you need an amazing stylist then sarah is your girl! read more

This used to be my go to place to get my hair cut, I love my stylist that I always got my hair cut by and the prices are good. I have been going here for years! This place has reallllllly went down hill! It was always a pleasure trip every time I went there until recently. The vibe you get when you go in there isn't good, you can feel the tension as soon as you walk in the door! ! ! When you walk in you can stand at the counter for 5 minutes before you are asked how you can be helped. The phone rings and rings when you call to get an appointment and they just aren't friendly, much like you are bothering them when you call to set an appointment. I believe her name is Grace, she is awful and I would never let her touch my hair! She works on 2-3 clients at a time and never gives one client her full attention! Grace left eyebrow tint on my mothers eyebrows waaaay to long and they were so dark brown it looked like sharpie marker, my mom is blonde hair blue eyes! So it looked HORRRRRRIBLE! I have seen her timer go off for clients hair she was coloring and she did nothing she continued to cut the clients hair that was in her chair while her other clients hair was most likely frying .... The best stylist there are Maurice and Sara! Although, I don't believe Maurice is at that location any longer, he was amazing and sooo good with clients!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I visited the one across from my bank, 7349 n. Via paseo del sur in Scottsdale. I had a long day, needed a trim. As I approached the salon, Haneen-the stylist, was trying to close. But I told her how this was my only time to come in. She was Very sweet! And cut my hair for me. Great Service! Highly recommend. And will keep going back. read more

I have been to this location quite a few times over the years. The 2nd to last time I went here I had a great haircut and really enjoyed the girl that cut my hair. However, this last time I went to get my roots colored. I was very busy between working and moving so I thought it would be a quick and easy event. I wasn't overly pleased with the girl that colored my hair. I didn't feel she was very professional ,she didn't even tell me her name. Of course I always tip well which I did. I just felt that the cleanliness of the salon have really dropped off. As well as everyone working that day seemed like they can hardly wait to get out of there and not really wanting to be there. Just not the great hair experience that you would want to have. When you go to get your hair done you want it to be a nice experience. It's not really very in expensive either. Like it used to be so it should be a better experience I feel. Oh well read more

My review needs another update. I continue to go to Fantastic Sams but I will only have my hair cut by Sara. Unfortunately I had a few ugly cries after haircuts with a previous stylist and have decided not to have my hair cut by her anymore. I just returned from an appointment with Sara who listened to me and gave me suggestions for fixing the previous bad cut. Thanks Sara! read more

I absolutely love this place. Everyone is so friendly. I have been a client of Grace's for years and followed her here. All the girls are amazing love coming here and just spending time talking to them. I highly recommend this salon. It is my cheers no alcohol but just feels like every knows your name and welcomes you in read more

Scheduled an appointment today for my 2.5 year old son. My son started crying when his name got called and his stylist curtly stated that she couldn't cut him unless he calmed down. I informed her that at other salons I usually hold him on my lap but she shook her head, offered no sympathy and walked over to her chair. My son has a lot of anxiety about haircuts and usually cries at the beginning. The only good thing about the experience was an older man who worked there who came over to try and cheer up my son. Just a note to moms of young children and/or children with special needs, this is not the salon for you. Which I knew not to expect much from a fantastic dams, but was disappointing nevertheless. read more

This was my first time coming to this place and I was amazed, there are not many hair salon that has family type of atmosphere. All of the employees look very happy and know each other for a long time, they are like family to each other. I had Maurece colored my hair and he was amazing. It took a long time cause I have very black hair and I had colored in the past so the chemical took sometimes to work but he was so patient. I love my hair color now. The owner may need to invest on a better caster dryer though as it went out several times. I am glad I went to this place and will go back for touch up. I was there for few hours and met a lot of great ladies and Maurece is outstanding! read more

Just had a haircut with Maurice. Will be back again. Super friendly and did a perfect job. Will be back and would recommend 100%.

I ventured here yesterday on the fly, needing a quick and easy haircut without an appointment. My hair, being thick and at times unruly, demanded thinning, texturizing, and a graduated bob. Roya delivered on all three. For $23.99, I received a shampoo and conditioning, cut, blowdry, flat iron, and style. She was quick, exact, and delivered the exact look that I wanted. This was a haircut/service that I would have easily spent $80 for in a salon. I was impressed to find that Fantastic Sam's provides waxing services as well. For younger girls they do feather and tinsel extensions, and full color and highlights is available starting at $39.99. Throughout my haircut, I observed other staff members cleaning the salon, and was very impressed with the overall cleanliness and appearance of the location. I will definitely return here, the average cost of a haircut being $17.99 here and the work that my gal performed absolutely excellent! read more

SO happy with my hair!! I had a color correction done at a high end salon before coming here to this place to get highlights done. I was a little nervous since my hair was delicate and fried due to the bleach at the other salon but I was desperate and in need of some help before a family reunion. Carl was amazing and made me feel very comfortable and talked about all the pros and cons of coloring my hair again so soon. I did not expect how beautiful it turned out!!! It was orange when I went in and a beautiful mixture of blonde and caramel highlights when I left!! I am so impressed and suggest him to anyone!! I will be going back to him for every hair appointment:) read more

This was my first time at Fantastic Sams. I normally don't leave Yelp reviews but I felt like I needed to for this. I had long hair with long layers when I came into the salon. I had my hair cut by Brenda, and I really wish someone else attended to me. I asked for 3 inches off and to freshen my layers. Although she listened to the length I wanted off, she butchered my layers. They are so choppy and are way too short! When my hair was wet, I kept seeing the chunks and chunks of hair she cut off. Since I think you need to pay extra to have your hair blow dried, she washed and cut my hair in 15 minutes, and sent me on my way. After letting my hair dry, I was mortified.. I still am. I'm not sure if trust going back to get it fixed. But I guess that's the quality of a $17 cut. Literally a cut. read more
