I've lived in the valley for years and struggled to find a salon that could offer me the atmosphere…read moreand quality of service I was used to receiving in Chicago. Not only did I want to find a salon free of the typical "gossipy salon" vibe, but I wanted a stylist that would educate me on how to care for my hair - - I found this in Kim, co-owner of the salon. Apricot Lounge Salon is an intimate salon located in the heart of Old Town that delivers big results. Kim and her co-owner Vanessa literally transform hair. They cut, style, color, do weaves, relaxers, the official Brazilian blowout... everything! Consultations are free and I'd highly recommend giving them a call and scheduling one. Stop in and get a feel for the salon and stylists and see what options would work for your hair.

If you're thinking of giving them a try you most definitely should and they work with all types of hair textures. It is kind of on the pricey side, but worth every penny! You pay for what you get.

I'm genuinely conflicted writing this because Dallas Taylor is the kind of stylist you want to keep…read moresecret. I've followed Dallas across salons for the last three years because he's that damn good. Now he's at Sect Hair Group in Scottsdale. If you've ever had a bad cut that left your hair with no shape and forced you to rely on too much product, Dallas is the answer. I came in with a video of an old-money men's cut with lots of layers (thick, slightly wavy hair), and he absolutely nailed it. The result looks effortlessly natural without heavy product... which, to me, is the sign of a thoughtful, high-skill cut. Even better: he cuts with the grow-out in mind, so it still looks great for months, not just for the first week. What separates Dallas is simple: he listens. He can replicate a video from your phone, but he also knows how to adapt it to your hair type and face shape so it works in real life. He even gave smart recommendations for facial hair to complement the cut. He's also genuinely a great person /always positive, easy to talk to, and you leave in a better mood. Super responsive and flexible with scheduling when needed. Value-wise? Completely worth it. A comparable stylist in Chicago charged ~70% more, and Dallas' results are SUPERIOR. I've gotten compliments from strangers, and my wife loves it (the only metric that matters). If you want a cut that looks high-maintenance but isn't because the layers are done right, book Dallas. Just... don't tell too many people as I still want my spot.

So happy that she's now closer at Sect Salon! I couldn't recommend her more, she brings a touch of European, French sophistication to everything she does. Whether it's a cut or color, I always leave feeling chic and pampered. She's a great listener who truly understands what you want, and you can always trust her ability to deliver. Who wouldn't love that? Not to mention she always uses the best products like Kerastase Last but not least, the salon is such a gem. It's got great vibes and attention to detail, stylish décor, comfy chairs, super clean space, and great music. They use top products, the staff is so welcoming, and booking is super easy. You can tell it's really well run.

I've been seeing Lisa for 12 years. She is a wizard at her craft and I've never left her chair…read moreunhappy. I have SUPER thick and coarse hair which is very challenging to cut and she nails it every time. To be fair, I was living in California for a period of the 12 years and went to a few other stylists and found myself right back in Lisa's chair. She understands what will and will not work for your hair, color science, precision cutting, and hair health like nobody's business. I have a chin-length bob with blonde highlights. She's amazing.

My hair has always been my calling card. Long. Brown. Mild blonde highlights Usually found in a…read moreponytail. When I moved to AZ from Chicago, I had been going to the same stylist for 15 years -- ever since a traumatic incident inolving what I'd like to call "layers gone wild" -- and he was the only person I trusted since. I was afraid to let another stylist touch my hair....and spent enough paranoid hours researching hairdressers and colorists before I found Lisa. Two years later, i'm still raving about her skills and loving my ever-evolving look. What I loved about Lisa instantly was that I could do an email consultation with her prior to stepping foot in the Salon. By the time I got there, I was still probably the most nervous person she had seen in her chair in a long time. She calmed me down and gave my hair a serious assesment before she got started, asking me questions I never thought i'd need to answer -- so much detail! Once I gave in to Lisa and her skills, the rest, they say, is history. She does a beautiful job with cut and color, and geniunely wants you to be happy with the way you look before you leave. To Lisa, a trim is ACTUALLY a trim, and 3 inches...actually 3 inches. A miracle if you ask me. Her haircuts wear perfectly from the first day it gets cut to your next appointment -- there is no "just let it grow in a bit" phase...which i love. While I usually get immediate compliments on my fresh color, the thing that amazes me most is how often 5 or 8 weeks into a cut I'll get a compliment from a stranger on how great my hair looks. Her services don't come cheap, but i've found that the results are well worth the cost -- and i'm not one of those girls who is willing to scrimp on cash to find the best 'cheap' cut and color around. It's worth every penny for a stylist who can color to perfection and make you feel like a million bucks both when you walk in and out of their salon. As Lisa says, your hair is the one accessory you wear every day -- so make an investment in it. My hair may cost me a small fortune, but Lisa's skills are worth it.

I went to Phoenix to have my hair done and the lady said it would be around 1200$ , she said 500$ alone for 16 inch auburn hair extensions she was gonna be dying my hair and adding extensions . I did not like the hair and it looked nothing like my inspo picture , I hated it so much I went to another stylist and they said the hair is old and doesn't look new , I asked the first stylist if I can have proof she bought new hair and she would only show me the order number not what she purchased . So I called and found out her order was only 250$ and it was in the color dirty blonde and she had dyed it before I got their instesd if buying the right color she went for the cheaper option , and the extensions lost all texture and oils and do not blend with my hair she had dyed . She also only ordered one pack , and my hair needed two . I kindly just asked if she would atleast give me 200$ back and she said no and got really mad . Because now I have to pay 800$ for a new stylist to order brand new hair and install it .(she did offer to fix it after I had gotten all the way home 4 hours away , then when I tried to come for her to fix it she ignored me for a couple days until I requested 200$ refund ) at the very least , now she has violated my privacy and given my phone number to her boyfriend who will not stop texting me .

I was told that I could and that she had an availability next week. on their website it states that first time customers get a 25 percent discount on their service. The receptionist said that I was entitled to get the discount. I booked the appointment. About 10 minutes later the owner called me and said that they wouldn't honor the ad on their own website. First she said that it was for hair extensions only. Then she said that it didn't include services from any master stylists. I told her that I was looking at the ad as we spoke and that it stated that master stylists were included as well as other services. She then told me that she wouldn't honor the 25 percent off and she wasn't even aware of the website special. All were a load of lies. She then told me that I could choose another salon. I told her that her website includes false advertising. She then hung up the phone. I have never experienced anything at all like this. Her own website states the facts of the discount. I am so glad that I didn't go there. They are liars, rude and have no customer service skills. i have attached the discount from their own website. It is unfortunate that the owner, Diane is a complete liar. The website states color and master stylists included in discount.
