| - I just visited Flict for the first time earlier this week. I had noticed their excellent reviews here on Yelp and also love the fact that they have some later-evening hours during the week! This is a lifesaver for me as I work far away and don't always have time to get in on a weekend.
They are closed Sunday and Monday, so I called on Tuesday in hopes of grabbing a Wednesday appointment. They called me back mid-day on Wednesday and I was able to get in for a 7:30 appointment that evening with a stylist named Sara. The lady who left me a message and who I later spoke with on the phone (I believe her name was Zooey) was very bubbly and cheerful.
The salon is located in the shopping center overlooking the little lake at Dobson and Ray. I was familiar with it because we've visited the Coffee Rush location as well as Sprouts there a few times :) I had never noticed Flict before and couldn't believe that such a cute little place was tucked into a little strip mall.
The look of the Salon is very un-Arizona - brick walls, shabby chic decor with funky art and reclaimed doors throughout. It was evening when I visited, but there seemed to be an ample amount of windows that must make the light during the day absolutely lovely. It reminded me of a loft-style space in an older city, which is an impressive accomplishment considering how "Beige and boring" so many AZ businesses are.
Sara, my stylist was quite nice. She asked good questions and took my lack of direction (I'm horrible at explaining what I want) in stride, making some good suggestions and ultimately providing a cut that was just what i needed. She was young and made a little bit of conversation as she cut my hair, but wasn't overly chatty.
No attempts at upselling product, which surprised me as it seems to always be the norm in salons. Perhaps she took me at my word that I don't really use much; works for me!
The cost was fine - $45 for the cut. She did let me know that that night was actually the last night she was working at Flict. I swear I'm cursed! At least she let me know :) I've been to 4 different salons since moving back and each time I find someone, they're gone by my next visit. I guess it is the norm in the business here. The one thing I'd say is that since I did let them know that I hadn't been in before, I'm surprised that they'd schedule me with someone who wasn't sticking around. It seems like it would be a good idea to get a new customer hooked on someone who would stay at the salon to increase the chances of return business.. but who knows...
Anyhow, I'd most likely return to Flict again if it remains convenient for me as far as location and timing, because it really is a cute place and they seem to have things "together"... I am just still trapped in search of a stylist that I can stick with.
