I absolutely love Amina! I have been going to her for over 12 years and followed her all over the valley. I can't imagine seeing anyone else for my hair! Not only is my hair always done with care and looks amazing, but I've become to love her as a friend. She is one of the most hardworking, thoughtful people I know and always wants to make her clients happy. I've never had a poor experience with her or Mercantile, and will continue to recommend her work. I'm attaching a picture from today- my iPhone doesn't do the color justice . Thanks Amina! read more

I'm a big fan of Phoenix Mercantile! It's centrally located downtown making it easy to get to and their appointment availability makes scheduling an appointment possible in time for a special event or upcoming date night. Love their boutique and vintage clothing! Great for gifts or some extra self love. Above all though and what keeps me coming back is how unpretentious and chill this place is. Shauna is my stylist and she has always taken such care with my hair... making me feel special... and keeping things cool and relaxed. This place is cool and has a vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while. Their work is great and I have never been dissatisfied. read more

I am THAT salon customer. The one who tsks and tuts, and hrms like Marge Simpson when my stylist is done. Just, not satisfied. I ask if my stylist can re-shape here, or fiddle with that bit. Then, still, more hrming and squinting in the mirror. After about thirty minutes of tweaking and adjusting, and still not being happy, I give up, say thanks, and never come back. Thanks to Shauna, I WAS that customer. After only a brief discussion of what I wanted, she set to work, and there it was -- done. She managed to translate my inarticulate stylistic needs into the perfect style for me, in one shot, no hand-holding needed. Now what will do with me time in the chair? I suppose, read magazines, like everyone else. Other details: This is a one chair operation. So you might have to wait. Spend your time browsing the clothes and accessories in the vintage shop section of the shop. read more

I've been going to Shauna at Mercantile for a few years now, and what I've always liked the most is that on top of knowing I'll get the best hair cut is the atmosphere of the salon itself. Everyone is beyond friendly and welcoming and just a great group of people. The time goes by without me even noticing. I couldn't recommend more. If you go, notice the great selection of Aveda products if you go. Truly something for everyone! read more

I was 4 years old the first time my mother gave me that stare - you know the one - it's open-mouthed and shocked, because she's basically just walked into the room to catch me red-handed with the scissors; I must've been standing in front of the mirror snipping away at my bangs in gleeful abandon. When I hit 21, I had a roommate who did hair for TIGI and I think she spoiled me rotten, because she gave me free haircuts and colors whenever I wanted and I never had to go to a salon. For the past several years I'd been cutting my own hair, and coloring it, and bleaching it. I think about a month ago when I woke up with frizzy clumps, my hair decided to reject my 'at-home' tactics and begged me to see a stylist. I've known Shauna since middle-school. She was always an amazing artist, and her artwork hangs in her studio as a testimony to this. She has an amazing eye for aesthetics and incredible style. It's classic and vintage and distinct. I love how this has translated to her shop. Mercantile is a gem; it's locally owned, filled with vintage treasures, and it makes you feel good knowing you're supporting the community and not just another annoying chain of chemically scented chair shops. She takes wonderful care of your tresses, I promise you! She's very careful and detail-oriented, and has an eye for picking out styles that go well with your own sense of style or your own organic look. I have to say that she's truly talented as an artist and this translates amazingly well into her hair and make-up work. I don't think I'll ever go elsewhere. She stayed after to help me pick out a gift for a friend, and even wrapped my adorable vintage scarf in a custom box with the family designed Mercantile logo. It looks truly one of a kind. I count myself truly lucky to know Shauna and I wish her all the best with this place. I couldn't be more happy with her work, and I could spend an entire day perusing the classic vintage treasures held within. read more

I have been meaning to write this review about Amina for literally years (my draft from 4 years ago simply reads: "Amina is the best.") To put this into context, she has been cutting my hair since I was 16 and I'm 27 now. This is how good Amina is at cutting and coloring hair: Years ago she left a salon that would not forward her contact information to me. My mother knew I was on the hunt so when she saw a woman at the grocery store with a killer cut, she inquired about her stylist. It was, of course, Amina...because she is the best. I have since moved to New York City and have yet to find anyone as good as her, despite paying twice as much. Mercantile's vintage selection is solid & reasonable, and a great way to kill time while your color sets. I always end up leaving with at least a couple of pieces. My only complaint is that they didn't move with me - miss you, Amina!!! read more

Everything on the menu is amazing. The truffle mac and cheese is so good, you just want to rub it all over your body. Wonderful food, wonderful and hip place. Awesome drink menu too!! read more

Danielle is wonderful and always leaves my hair looking amazing! She does a great job understanding what I want and executing it. She's also super sweet and pleasant to chat with during appointments, and is always detailed and meticulous when applying my color. Mercantile's prices are also very reasonable compared to other Aveda salons. I highly recommend Danielle & Mercantile if you need a new 'do. read more

It took a little doing to find a parking space, but when I entered the salon & shop, it was oh-so-worth it. Shauna made me feel like I was such a special customer, and took my friends' general suggestion of a hairstyle to the next level! After the wash & condition (what WAS that, my hair has never been softer or more flowing), she worked on my hopeless hair. And performed a miracle. My millenial cut has been now brought into the teens, and I could not be happier. It is superb -- it's now two weeks later -- and it still rocks! I did not have time to look at the vintage selections, since I was hurried. But I think they add more to the ambience than the usual stacks of People and RedBook magazines one usual finds. It would be actually nice to shop while I waited, if that were necessary. As for now, though -- I've found my new stylist! read more

I was primed to love this place. I support indie businesses whenever possible. I like vintage clothes. However, I found it awkward and off-putting. You have to walk through the salon to get to the retail space. It smelled like old clothes. While I found the display shelving attractive, I wasn't remotely tempted to buy anything I found there. It seemed unorganized. For example, there were a couple of Doc Martens boxes...are there shoes in there? Are they for sale? I can't speak at all to the salon services. I just felt like an intruder passing through the salon to reach the retail. I wish Mercantile all the best, but it was not a stellar shopping experience for me. read more

I Booked an Appointment Online for 9:15 This Morning. I received E-mail confirmation of the Appointment. I drove Across town in Traffic and Mercantile Salon Was not open for business. They also Did not have the Courtesy to call me and apologize or let me know. Hey Mercantile...I am glad that you think YOUR TIME is more important than mine. I will gladly spread the word and let all my friends and family know how incredibly amateur Your business is. This place is a joke. read more

Amina is great - I have been going to her for years! She is very personable and takes the time to figure out your style... Even as it changes. read more

Shauna is amazing. She has been cutting my hair for several years, and it's never looked better. In addition, she patiently and successfully took me from dying my hair to being gray, which is not an easy feat. And it looked great throughout the process. I also love the laid back vibe of Mercantile--there's no too-cool-for-school sense that I've gotten from other places. I feel welcome here, even though I'm a regular (and middle-aged) person. Yay for Shauna!! read more

Shauna gives the best haircuts and highlights I've ever had. I'm pretty low maintenance with my hair, but I always go to Shauna for my one haircut a year. It's been a while since I've color treated my hair and I'm ready for a change. I've made an appointment and I know all I'm going to have to say is "make me look like I just got back from the beach." Perfect every time. read more

I've been going to Shauna for three years now, and am so grateful I found her! My friend stumbled upon Mercantile while vintage shopping one day and knew I was looking for a new hair stylist after moving to Phoenix. Shauna is not only a wonderful hair stylist, but a lovely person who will make you feel comfortable and will give you the most amazing haircut. read more

I've been going to Amina Call for at least ten years, and I could not be happier with my hair. Amina is professional, friendly, and always works to make sure her clients are happy. My hair is moderately curly, and Amina truly understands how to cut and style it. (And if you have curly hair, you probably know that many stylists don't know what to do with curls.) Recently Amina has been working to give my hair an ombré effect, and I love the results and so many people compliment the color. Amina is the best! read more
