| - Jen is amazing! She is truly an artist with nails (fingers and toes-but especially toes!). I've been seeing her for 14 years, and her skill has only evolved with time. She is so creative and knows what will look awesome-just trust her. She'll suggest colors and patterns for you if you don't know what you want, and if you have a crazy idea she can probably do it. And she's great at incorporating rhinestones into stuff!!
I am so loyal to her nail art that even though I live in NYC, land of the man/pedi combos, I almost never get my nails done here because I'd rather wait the six months until I make my semi-annual visit home to AZ. Her toenail paintings seem to last forever! Some of my favorites are watermelons (great for summer!), American Flag (complete with rhinestones, a 4th of July fave), zebra stripes, tuxedos (SO cute for formal events! and she does whatever color combo you want), and team spirit/school colors (she even begrudgingly painted my toes with U of A spirit despite her ASU allegiance!).
I'm attaching a few pics of toenail art I've had done here to show just what a fabulous job Jen does. She also has a facebook page for her work (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Happy-Feet-by-Jen-at-Carolynes-Salon/133142156725918) where you can see other nail art she's done.
I realize this sounds like a paid promotion for her, but honestly, Jen is just amazing. She's so easy to talk to, and so fun! I dare you to see her and NOT like her. Just try! Everyone I've referred to her over the years has nothing but raves for her.
As for other services at Carolyne's, I've had my hair done by Liz and she's pretty good. I have friends who have seen other stylists there (whose names I can't remember off the top of my head) that they love, and the place is pretty big and spacious, so there are plenty of stylists to choose from!
With regards to the comments on the front desk people, I understand...but we're in Scottsdale. Come on. The owner and her daughter have always been nice to me and my fam, possibly because we've been there with them for so long, but I've seen the way they act around other people and it's not anything out of the ordinary for this town. It's definitely not the worst I've seen, but just suck it up-you're in a salon in the land of pretentiousness. You'll walk out of there as gorgeous as the rest of the city and you'll forget the front desk people five minutes later anyway.
Moral of the story: GO SEE JEN!!!!
