I cannot speak on the salon itself, only the lash artist Cristina Phillips…read more I've been going to Cristina IG is @fookyu_cristina since November. I always keep my appointments or try and reschedule if I have a sick kid or husband. I always pay without issue and always always tip. On 6/6 I had an appointment after work, like normal. My lash fills take normally 2-3 hours. Partially because I have a bladder disease and do take breaks to void my bladder. I let her know this day 1 because I don't want to make her late for other appointments or her family, etc. she never said it was a problem. Anyways after almost 3 hours of a fill, where my lashes were messed up from the prior fill 2 weeks earlier, I was shocked when I saw my lashes were NOT ok. Sparse and clumpy. She said she was sorry but I had so many baby lashes I couldn't have my full lashes. Paid $70 and tipped $20 cash. I drove home, which is 60 miles away. When I got home I saw just how bad they were. I messaged her and said hey it's not your fault but I can't do these I don't like them. She said sorry but then agreed to see me Monday, not Tuesday, and I said great. 30 min maybe we can get them fixed a bit. I showed up at 5:05pm on Monday 6/9. She wasn't there. The woman at the salon was doing hair and told me Cristina would be right back. 20 min later I messaged Cristina she didn't reply. She didn't even read the message. 20 minutes after that, I said I have to go. Salon worker apologized and said she didn't hear from Cristina at all either. I messaged Cristina and then decided to move on and try and find a new artist to fix and repair my eyes even if I had to be without extensions for awhile. After ONE ENTIRE WEEK, I got that weird message from Cristina. I had already moved on and found a girl who agreed to try and repair me. My eyes were bruised and in pain from the glue and clumps stuck on my lids. When I asked for a refund she blocked me from on FB and IG. If she didn't like me after 7 months she could've been honest. If she didn't like my queer family she could've been honest. I feel she purposely messed up my lashes and caused me pain and drama. Beware. I have many photos and my new last tech told me that Cristina glued the lashes to my LID. I am not perfect I pee a lot and I snore when I fall asleep, but I tolerated her vaping in my face when I was laying down and the 2-3 hour fills. Im sorry she hates me so much and I would like my money back.

After a disastrous (and expensive!) lash extension experience last week at a salon that shall…read moreremain nameless, I came to Cristina for help fixing them. She was honest and straightforward, we decided to remove them completely and reschedule for a new set. She is very knowledgeable and put me at ease, and I will be posting pix of her work after my appt next week. She is simply a pleasure to be around, and I'm looking forward to my follow up appt. Check out her work on IG: @fookyu_cristina This salon has lots of services to offer along with lashes too, and it's a great vibe all around.

I'm so happy that my luck changed when I came across a recommendation for Desert Strands salon! I went through their stylist profiles and ended up sending Reilly a message asking if she had room in her schedule for a cut and partial highlight.

Long story short, I was so pleased with my experience! Reilly is amazing- so patient, kind and knowledgeable! And my hair looks amazing! Thank you, Reilly! I'll be seeing you again

I've been going to Jeannie James, hair stylist extraordinaire, for three and a half years now, and she never disappoints. She is absolutely brilliant at color and my hair is always healthier after seeing her. (Which, when you're having bleach applied, seems impossible.) She recently changed venues, and I never realized how much the salon itself can affect the experience. Midtown Fringe is vintage/modern fusion, with absolutely no trace of pretentiousness at all. It's homey and comfortable and RELAXING. Jeannie is the best, but her new styling home is the cherry on the already perfect cake. Mickey, the owner, was a total sweetheart, and I saw one of his clients leaving, and was super impressed by his work as well. (Don't worry, Jeannie, I'll never stray!) Fair prices for extraordinary work, and an awesome salon with down to earth stylists. I'm so happy, I could hold up a sign with their praise on the corner. (Thank goodness for Yelp, so I don't have to stand in the sun all day.) But, I totally would, jusy saying...
