My barber of seven years moved back to Oregon, and after several failed attempts at other…read morebarbershops and salons around the valley, I found R05. Rafa has since been cutting my hair for about two years, and the results have been some of my best cuts ever. We have grown my hair out, cut it short, and everything in between. Each style has come out in a way that matches my personality and style, and I have gotten more compliments in the past two years of cuts than ever before. His price is on par with any other place I have been to, and he is relaxed as a person, so there isn't forced or awkward conversation. The salon itself is small, but welcoming, qnd they offer whiskey, wine, or water with ny cut every time I come in. Highly recommend Rafa and the other staff, as I have sent friends here that are now regulars.

I just wanted to let you guys know that Courtney chopped off all my hair without my consent back in 2022 and then had the audacity to tell me my reaction wasn't OK when all I did was cry and Express how I never consented to that, i'm positive my ex friend paid her off or told her to cut it that short regardless as a professional why would you do that? It's still doesn't sit right with me till this day. Her excuse was "I thought we were cutting from the shortest layer" after I asked her for a layered haircut, That's really big to get mixed up and I don't want happening to anyone else. Book with her at ur own risk, I will say she's a great colorist, but horrible with communication, attitude, and cutting hair. After some deep diving, it turns out a lot of the hairstylist have cut hair way too short without people's consent. I really don't recommend coming here if you value the length of your hair and value, your voice being heard.

It was my first visit to the salon... to any salon in over 5 years. I'm limited physically, and…read morework from home, so Id just been dumping fashion color dye on my head and hacking off my own hair periodically following "Brad Mondo" tutoials. I walked in with total trainwreckery on my head, with what I thought was an impossible ask for Lydia. I really wanted her to magically turn my "sea hag" faded teal and green bedraggled lower back natural curls with 5" of grey roots (that I couldnt keep up) with silver, and bring back my bouncy curls. Not an easy ask, because I didnt want heavy bleach due to perimenopusal hair dryness, and had a veeery limited budget to play with. I even had a backup plan, because I was SO SURE a Silver that could grow into my natural color just would not be an option. Lydia took one look at me and had a plan. I dont think either of us were sure it would work, but she's brilliant and has 18+ years experience and a foundation in color theory, so we took a chance that dying my green hair hot pink would take me to a silvery tone. It worked! The woman pulled off a miracle on my head! I adore my lush silvery locks, with a bit of an oilslick tone of faded denim blues and violets that shimmer in the sun. My hair is so much healthier, and I can literally pull off a silk sleep bonnet, spritz with rosemart water, add a bit of hair oil and shake my curls into place. And amazingly enough, she managed under budget! If youre looking for a stylist/colorist/curly hair specialist you really cannot go wrong with Lydia! am LOVING my locks, again! Thank you, Lydia!!! Miracle worker!! First photo is me styled to within an inch of my life... hair looks gorgeous, but its a rarity! Second is my daily 2 minute 'do... So, so thrilled with both options.Lydia rocks!

Update: I was initially put off by them not having a way to reach anyone in the salon and the concierge number was no help. HOWEVER, when I emailed about my concerns I received a quick reply. I have a weird "shelf" thing that my hair does and Amanda let me come back to get it "fixed". She genuinely wanted me to love my hair and after the fix I absolutely do! Not only is my shelf gone but my curls seem to have come back from the dead. Will definitely go back to see Amanda again!

I needed my hair to be long enough I could put it up and I wanted framing bangs. I was looking to get a wolf cut style but don't tend to style at home enough for that kind of maintenance. She took all of my ideas and blew it out of the water. I super appreciated her kindness information on how to style easily and gave me the haircut I wanted from a description alone! The energy of the shop itself has a beautiful layout and getting my hair washed was in a lovely darker room and she was super considerate of my hair coloring while washing. I'm no hair expert nor do I go to salons often but when I do I'll be coming back to Samantha!

First time at Snapdragon. Such a pretty salon!…read more I've been going to a curly salon for my curly/wavy hair all the way down in Tempe and decided to make a big change and wear my hair straight. Plus, wanted something that's a closer drive to my home/work. My appointment on Tuesday was with Ashleigh, @locksandlore, and she was the absolute sweetest. Even though she's a curly specialist, I wanted someone who truly understands my hair as I make this big shift. I also saw Danielle, @fairiehairie, for the wash and style after the cut and she was lovely. Everyone there was so professional and friendly! Am looking forward to coming back as a regular client to Snapdragon, and plan to get some color and a Brazilian Blowout in the coming months.

If you're looking for the best of the best, look no further and book with Nikki at the Whyld Hare!…read moreI came to Nikki several years ago as a damaged bleached blonde. I had frazzled pieces of hair that would not grow past my cheek bones. I told Nikki I wanted to be blonde with "long mermaid hair". In the most professional way she told me I would not get there without making some changes. While I am no longer bleach blonde I love my ashy blonde natural hair that has grown to shoulder length. Nikki truly cares about the integrity of your hair while finding a way to reach your hair goals no matter what they are. She is so knowledgeable and skilled, my hair always looks and feels amazing after leaving the salon. The salon itself is styled to a T, welcoming and professional. If you've got a wild hair to try a new salon, make it the Whyld Hare!

My hair looked fantastic -- smooth, full of volume, and exactly the polished look I was hoping for. Lena took her time and made sure everything was just right, and I left feeling great. I would absolutely go back to her for styling again. Unfortunately, the overall experience in the salon was overshadowed by something pretty unpleasant. There was a small dog in the salon that had apparently peed on the couch in the waiting area earlier in the day. No one mentioned this when I arrived, and I ended up sitting on that couch for about 30 minutes. When I later brought it up, the dog's owner mentioned that her husband had cleaned the spot with Lysol earlier in the day. However, my pants still smelled like pee afterward, which was really uncomfortable and embarrassing. The apology also felt pretty insincere, which made the situation even more frustrating. I completely understand that accidents can happen with pets, but I do think it's the owner's responsibility to make sure guests are aware of something like that -- or to make sure the area is fully cleaned or blocked off before someone sits there. It would have been very easy to simply warn me. Lena was fantastic and did a beautiful job with my blowout! I do hope the salon handles situations with the dog more responsibly in the future.
