This is my happy place! Everyone in the salon is so nice. I've been going to Georgie since I moved to Arizona a few years ago and as a blonde that has a hard time finding someone she trusts to color and cut her hair...she's the BEST! She has always listened to me and I always leave loving my hair! They also have a cute boutique inside the salon to walk through while your hair is processing :) why not knock out two things at once! Also- there is usually a cute doggo in the salon named Willie. I look forward to getting my hair done even more to snuggle him! read more

So I knew this was the place for me to come too to finally take the plunge and dye it. Janeen took the best care of me and she knew exactly what I wanted. I am so happy with the way it turned out! The color and cut is perfection! I can't wait to come back! Booking was so simple to do online as well. Lots of stylist available for all kinds of services too read more

I have had trouble finding a salon I want to keep coming back to. Usually, I kinda like my hair and after a couple days, I'm over it. Emilio was my stylist and I could not be happier with how my hair turned out. Absolutely LOVE my hair now and it is summer ready! Not only is he a talented hair stylist, but he's hilarious. 3 hours go by fast when you're laughing along the way. I think it's safe to say I have found a salon and stylist I will be returning to again. read more

I've been going to Janeen to have my hair straightened for about ten years, and I could not be happier! My straightening also includes a trim, and I'm totally hooked on the way she cuts hair too! Her cuts are "magic"! She ALWAYS knows exactly I need to make my hair fall perfectly into place! I will never go anywhere else! I moved to Tucson two years ago and drive two hours to Scottsdale because I am so pleased with Janeen's expertise! Plus, I always leave feeling like I've just spent time with one of my best friends. Janeen is the BEST! read more

I get a text from the stylist at 8am canceling my reservation the same day ....yet they have a 20% cancellation policy. What do you owe me?!!??! Lol . There are 1 million upscale salons in Scottsdale. You will not make it canceling appointments via texts at 8 AM. read more

I have been coming to this salon for a few years and have had the great opportunity to be a client of Georgie, Emilio and Gina. They are all so friendly and take good care of me. I usually get a haircut but I have also had highlights done. Each of these stylists does superb work in listening to what I want and doing such a great job of reading my mind. I always leave feeling more confident and looking fantastic! Keep up the great work!! read more

I recently moved to Arizona and wanted to do a little something different with my hair, something I usually don't do. I found Georgie and Stray Salon on Instagram through the #ScottsdaleHairstylist hashtag! (Yay social media!) I wanted to get a good idea of where to start. I originally wanted to dye my hair an ombré-kinda styled purple. Not vibrant, but very settle and almost natural -- as natural as purple could be anyway LOL. I reached out to Georgie and texted her from the phone number given on her social media and we briefly chatted. I told her what I wanted and she gave me an estimate on the price. Fast forward to my appointment with her yesterday, and I'm very pleased! If you look at the photos, my hair is nowhere near purple. It ended up turning out more of a pink-toned purple instead, but I'm not docking her any stars over something she only has so much control over. My hair is naturally a dark and rich brown. When I first walked into the salon, which was extremely easy to find btw (always a plus!), Georgie greeted me very kindly and she radiated this friendly positivity. She offered me some water right when I walked in, which was awesome since I had previously eaten a quick snack before going into my appointment since I knew I'd be in for awhile. She also offered some snacks since we got into lunchtime and it may have been obvious I was hungry. Someone warmed up some delicious smelling taquitos and I made a comment on how great it smelled. She offered some snacks from their little table area where there was also some coffee available. The snacks were in a jar that contained pretzels and similar easy snacks. The salon itself was also very tidy and everyone seemed very friendly. The salon is already decorated with holiday decorations that are scattered all over the place. It's actually really cute and they have a small area in the corner with white bricks. They take all their before and after photos there! They even have a bright light too to help with the lighting. I ended up being at the salon from 10am to about 3pm if I remember correctly. (I know it went way past the original time she mentioned, which was supposed to be 2pm because my hair wasn't necessarily cooperating and picking up the color.) HOWEVER, I want to appreciate that she didn't force any conversation with me. Personally, I really dread hairstylists that can't take the hint that you simply may not be in the mood for conversation. I normally don't enjoy small talk and would much rather sit in silence. I don't find it weird like others may, and I'm glad she didn't seem to mind the silence either during certain areas of the appointment. But when we would have conversations here and there, they were light hearted and she was overall extremely patient and very sweet! Now that that's said, I also want to point out that I enjoyed that Georgie would explain the process to me as she went ahead and bleached, toned, dyed and cut my hair. It's the little, simple things but it's always nice just knowing what's going on along the way. This was something she did that I genuinely appreciated. When it came down to it, Georgie admitted she knew it wasn't the right color I initially wanted, but the bleach had already been left in my hair for an hour. She didn't want to leave it in any longer because then it would wind up frying my hair. I truly appreciated her honesty and although the results were not what I initially wanted, I actually ended up loving the color anyway! read more

I had my hair done by Emilio and it was my first time at the salon. I was very nervous because I wanted to go blonde and in the past, I've had my hair dyed and turn orange or yellow. I expressed my worries and anxiety and Emilio was very tentative. I went in with brown hair and came out with blonde balayage. It was exactly what I wanted and totally exceeded my expectations. My hair feels so healthy and it was worth every penny. If you're hesitant, take a look at Emilio's instagram. read more

Georgie gave me one of my favorite cuts in a long time. We talked for a minute about the style I wanted and showed her a photo. It looked even better than what I had pictured. This was my first time to the salon and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and the products she used on my hair. They also have safe practices to combat covid-19 if you're worried about getting your first service in awhile. read more

I don't like writing negative reviews for anyone but I felt so upset with my hair cut by Emilio that I wanted to maybe save someone else like me from the same experience I had. From the beginning, I had told Emilio that I had experienced a lot of hair fall recently due to medication I had been taking previous to my current pregnancy (and malnutrition due to morning sickness) and that I just needed to correct the cut that I had done on myself, I wanted to keep the length. I told him I didn't want anything with too many layers because my hair was already so fine, short choppy layers would just accentuate my hair problem. The cut seemed to be going well while he was correcting the haircut (which he said wasn't too bad). He turned me around on the chair so I wasn't facing the mirror and couldn't see what he was doing on my hair. I trusted his expertise. He started blow drying and styling my hair. I ended up with really short hair. A lot of short layers all over the back. He also cut the front of my hair extremely short in comparison to the back hair (I can't tie a bun without the hair falling back to the front). He started thinning out the hair ( I don't know if that's the correct term but that thing they do with the scissors cutting it diagonally down). Again, I didn't say anything because I trusted he knew what he was doing. When I got home and washed out all the styling and oil/serum he put on my hair ( Oil? Really? On already thin hair?) I could see the mess he had left my hair in. Not only is it significantly shorter from the front but looks even worse than it did before I cut it. Uneven layers everywhere. In conclusion to this, I think Emilio should stick to hair color since that seems to be his expertise. I just wish he had referred me to someone else who knows how to cut thin hair. It seem like everything I told him went in one ear and out the other as he did everything contrary to what I asked for. read more

So, I've been to this salon recently a few times now. About a year ago I had a really bad experience at another salon and have been dealing with lots of breakage due to over processing. I've recently had my hair dyed, had extensions put in as well as get a haircut by Silver. He is so attentive and pays attention to details. I love the color of my hair and my haircut is on point. I am fully confident that Silver will help get my hair back to a healthy state again! read more

I love this salon, it is very quaint and the staff makes you feel comfortable the second you walk in! ***update*** still going here years later and they just get better and better! read more

Selena and Janeen are the dynamic duo forever and the real deal as far as I'm concerned. I'm so glad they were able to finally open a spot for themselves and am stoked that they have done such a wonderful job with with their salon. Also the stylists that they are bringing on board seem to be equally as rad and equip'd with skills. I want to talk about the spot a little more since everyone on Yelp talks about their favorite hair dresser (mine is Selena...just saying). The place is clean and nice, they use the best products on your head, and make sure you're comfortable. The style of the place is really contemporary and the music fits. You may have some adult beverages if you like, while you get your hairs did. For me, if you want a cool atmosphere and great people to do your hair, this is the spot. read more

As I sit here, sipping my complimentary glass of wine and relaxing in stylish surroundings, I feel it is my duty to review such an amazing establishment. I've been lucky enough to have my mane managed by both Emilio (master of color) and Micah (goddess of short cuts). Both are not only incredibly talented in their trade, but also fun, friendly and welcoming. It's so hard moving to a new place and finding someone you can trust to manages your tresses, so I absolutely lucked out finding this place. Will never go anywhere else in AZ! read more

My daughter's hair dresser, Georgie, had started working at this salon and we are so happy. I was very impressed! Not only a great location, but as soon as I entered, I was welcomed and truly felt cared for. The place is neat, clean and modern. My daughter and I had a haircut, and this was my first time using Georgie and I could not be happier! She understands curly hair. Loved my hair after the cut and I can't wait to come back in a week for my color. read more

I went to see Carissa/ @Hairmotty and had an absolute HORRID experience. I've gotten my hair done a ton of times with other great stylist at other salons but this time I decided to go to her since her work looked decent on Instagram. Her work that she posts on IG is almost all of white girls and she is a specialist on doing white girls hair but based on my experience it was very obvious she did not know how to work with clients who are non-white. I paid a lot of money and ended up with a color that was not close to what I desired but the worst part is that she ruined my hair. It all broke off from the front and looks so damaged. I've NEVER had a stylist ruin my hair like that. I have no choice than to go out in public with my hair all broken off, fried and damaged and it's made me feel so insecure. If you are a person of color do not go see her and beware that she does not know how to do hair if it's a non-white hair type. To make things better... she has a bad attitude and not friendly at all. She has a stuck up attitude. Spend your money elsewhere! read more

Georgie is the best!! I've been going to her for about a year now. She always has great recommendations for changing up my hair. She gave me a long bob in June. My hair stayed so much healthier for way longer than normal. I highly recommend her for anyone if any age. She colors a few of my friends hair too and they are always pleased with her results. read more

I am so glad I found Ashley at Stray! She does such an amazing job with the color on my hair. I am VERY picky when I comes to hair stylist since I have such long/thick hair.... I couldn't be happier with the work Ashley does. She keeps me up to date with trends and styles. Half the time, I go in and give her complete free range of what she wants to do with my hair as far as color and cut- and I always walk away happy, getting so many compliments! She's super easy to talk to and makes 2 hours go by like 10 minutes... Go see Ashley- you won't regret it! read more

Every time I come in I let janeen do whatever she wants to my hair, color, cut, whatever..and it is always spot on every.single.time. She's absolutely hilarious, the kind of hairdresser that you want to have mimosas with! Go see her and her adorable salon! read more

I went to a salon wanting to go blonde and they RUINED my hair. It was very orange and the highlights looked like tiger stripes and started below my exposed natural root. I called Stray and asked if anybody could fix it. Emilio literally squeezed me in last minute as I am going on vacation and he saved my life. He did a root shadow and toned all of the orange/reds out of my hair. My hair looks absolutely amazing now and he got it to look and feel sooo much more healthy than when I first arrived. I am so happy with the result and will be back to actually go blonde! read more

I love seeing Ashley Blue at Stray Salon! I've never been picky about my hair in the past, but now that Ashley has been doing my hair I've become very particular!

She's always learning and perfecting new techniques which is so great to keep my look current. You can tell it's definitely her passion to make you look and feel your best! read more

I just wanted to take a minute and brag on one of the stylists at Stray. I went there with quite a hair situation as I am naturally a brunette- accidentally dyed a very prominent blonde at another salon. With a very important job interview, I took a chance and booked an appointment with this salon. I was seen by Georgie and from the moment I sat in her chair, I knew everything would be okay. She was very reassuring and confident of her abilities to help my hair get back to a natural tone. And she did just that in an hour! Not three- four. It was a very pleasant experience and I am grateful for your expertise and skills. Great salon and I will DEFINITELY be back in the future! :) read more

Georgie is a true innovator for hair and make up . She can envision styles that one would not think of to enhance any look and features. Not to mention she is incredibly charismatic, pleasant and easy to talk to. I guarantee you she will become your lifelong hairdresser! read more
