    After pic

    Cadence cut my daughters hair and it came out amazing. She was so sweet and kept up with my daughter's constant chatter. She even curled her hair at the end. It was the best! Definitely will go back to her!!

    Cadence H. (Cada) is amazing at all hair services, very professional and skilled. She's been doing my color and cut for a few years now!Call and book ASAP.

    If I could give this business zero, that's what I would do. Here is my review and issue I have with Jo-el the owner of Salon Jo-el, 4118 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85018. I read the reviews on the Salon before booking a pretty drastic haircut change. Joel Palmer is the owner and has done here for 35 years. He is the one that did my hair cut on August 14, 2026. What I asked for by showing him a photo and what I ended up with are two different very different things. As you will see the blonde haircut in a screenshot is what I asked for and a picture of what I actually ended up with. it shows my long hair before, and after. There's only pretty much one defined layer at the bottom of my earlobe nothing above that. I ended up with a mullet, there are no layers above the one layer he used products and I purchased two. No matter how much product I use it will never look good or like what I asked for. He posted the video on his website and text them to me as well. I was beyond disappointed. I looked at the comments that were made, absolutely awful, horrible, looked better before he started... I only wish I screenshot those. I sent Joel a text, which I have a screenshot of and asked him if I could come back and have him fix it at no charge. Attached is a screenshot of his response, nothing to fix and I could come in and have him show me how to style it again. That is not acceptable. Come to find out after I messaged him. He deleted seven of the bad comments from people and now only five remain. You can also see on the side that originally there were 12 comments. How disgusting and wrong two of the five that are left on the site are in a different language, and obviously he did not translate them or otherwise those would've been removed too. They said nothing like the picture of the cut I wanted, not like the model. I've included a screenshot where you can see the counts and that there were 12 originally I held off on my review until I contacted him. Since I did contact him and received his response, which was totally unacceptable, he takes no accountability or ownership of his mistake. I want people to know what I went through so that they don't encounter the same results. Now I have to pay someone else to try to fix this after spending $206.24 for the cut two products and a tip I regret. My hair was way better before I went there.

    I drove from Ca to get a Brazilian blowout by Cada. She did an amazing job. I'll definitely be back!

    I saw TN I love my haircut…read more 2 weeks later and it looks amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first. I get nervous letting a just anyone touch my hair (he's not just anyone). I came in kinda looking like a drowned rat. Meaning, my hair was wet dark and limp. My hair had been growing out for too long without a trim. TN was focused, amicable, and attentive. He kept my layers, which a lot of places could mess up. He started to do face framing bangs and I was like No! I like to keep the front long. He did some anyway, where I needed it, and followed direction to stop when I said No. And it turned into these cute wings around my face. While there, I kept twisting it, trying to get it to do its usual flounce, but it wouldn't go. I'm from California. He said he was, too. I think the Arizona dry air was making my hair dull. He told me to style it, like with product. I don't know what I'm doing. I brought my Kerastase Gloss Absolute products, bc I'd followed the Sephora sample directions. We didn't shampoo, so maybe I should try that next time. But idk, the shampoo area was kinda dirty. The place could be cleaner. Meanwhile, I just kept trying putting oil on it to make my hair move. I left feeling satisfied. Then later- wow- it's a really great haircut. Except now, with this haircut, I don't have to do anything to my hair. It just comes out nice. Everything lays perfectly. It's sexy hair. TN styled it right. I'd say for anyone in Arizona to YouTube what to do with your hair in the desert. As soon as my hair hit some humidity it looked gorgeous with this cut. It was so reasonably priced compared to my stylist- I want to go back

    i don't think my hair was layered nearly enough. i requested vu because i saw a lot of reviews…read morerequesting him and he spent a decent amount of time on my hair, but i think he botched my bangs and didn't frame my face. looks nothing like the reference pic unfortunately

    Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!…read more Y'all, if you're looking for an amazing stylist, look no further. I'm someone who has done a lot to my hair over the years. I previously owned a modeling agency, and we were constantly changing hair styles and working with some of the best stylists in the world. After moving to the Sedona area, I had three disappointing experiences in a row--honestly, some of the worst hair I've ever had. I finally decided to make the trip to Scottsdale, where I knew I could find someone who truly cared about their craft. After doing some research, I chose this salon and booked with Lisa. In just one appointment, she completely understood what I wanted and delivered it flawlessly. With over 20 years of experience, she made what seemed impossible look effortless. She not only got me back to where I wanted to be--she exceeded my expectations. What I appreciated most was that she listened. Really listened. Then she combined that understanding with incredible skill and precision. On top of that, she's an absolute delight to spend time with. If you've been struggling to find a stylist you trust, I know how stressful that can be. Great hair makes such a difference, and we all deserve exceptional service and results. Run, don't walk, and book with Lisa. You'll be so glad you did! xoxo

    Really happy with my men's haircut from Mikayla. She was super nice, listened to what I wanted, and…read moredid a great job. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I was recommended Thanh, a male barber at this salon, by my cousin who's been a loyal customer of…read morehis for YEARS! She texted him personally to make a Saturday afternoon appointment for me and sent pictures of the wolf-cut I desired. I arrived on time for my 2pm appointment and was greeted by Thanh and seated immediately. I showed him the pictures again. Then he asked me if I wanted to shampoo my hair, which I agreed to. Then we got straight to work. At the end of my cut, he made sure I liked the result, to which I asked for my bangs a bit shorted and he readily obliged. I paid $45 (excluding an additional tip) in cash, but I didn't inquire further if they also accept card or if there's an additional fee for paying by card. I looked around the salon for a menu of costs of services, which he said there wasn't one. No problem, I plan on coming back for haircuts only anyway which I know are $45! Otherwise, I'll text him personally asking for other services if I want them! All in all, I was in and out the door at 2:00 and 2:30 respectively, literally (I looked at the clock). I was so happy with my haircut, especially for the price AND quick in/out time. Thank you Thanh for your amazing work!!!

    Honestly very disappointed in my haircut. I was initially enticed by the $45 price but it felt…read moreextremely rushed, mediocre, and hardly like the inspo photos I showed the stylist. I would rather go a salon that actually cares about their customer service and attention to detail at a higher cost - you're getting what you pay for, if not less. Firstly, my stylist was on her phone for a full 4 minutes in the middle of my 18-minute (fast? or rushed?) haircut without explanation; I would be more understanding if I were given a heads up about a personal emergency or something, but to simply step away from your client and text nonstop at the front desk without saying anything, is unacceptable. Secondly, I've never been to a salon where my hair was not washed prior to it being cut; until I came here. My hair was not even styled at the end (see photo of when I got home right after my appointment). Thirdly, it's the bare minimum to ask your customer if they like their haircut, or smile at the end. When I was paying at the front desk kiosk, my stylist went straight back to texting with the click clack of her fake nails on the phone screen. I stood at the desk for a good minute or so after payment was completed before she looked up, and quickly said "bye thank you". There were no other customers in the store except for the nail artist and her client in the shared salon space. I would NOT recommend this salon to any of my friends and advise you to get your haircut elsewhere if you care about professional service and a good haircut.
