I had met Downtown Salon Phoenix owner Trankie Romero a few weeks ago and dug his general vibe. So when I decided to audition stylists closer to my Downtown office, it seemed logical to give one of his girls a try.
So glad I did.
Before turning on the clippers or grabbing the shears Ruth actually talked to me about what I wanted to do with my hair. It sounds like a no-brainer strategy but you'd be surprised how few stylists ask the right questions or really take the time to listen.
I got a very relaxing wash and condition and a great haircut for about the same money I was paying Uptown. Great value given the convenience of being located a block from my office.
As a bonus, the young woman at the front desk was attentive and beyond nice. Reception is another service element many salons fail to grasp. Great job, Trankie!
I love keeping my money in the Downtown economy but the real reward is getting your money's worth. Can't wait to go back.
