I haven't had a haircut in a year and, being new to Phoenix, I was extremely nervous to find a new stylist. I looked at Yelp reviews, and then when I was booking the appointment through Yelp (super convenient btw), I went to R Salon's website, looked at the photos of the available stylists and chose Damian.
The salon has a very warm atmosphere and everyone I encountered was incredibly nice.
Now, Damian. Professionally, he's a rock star. He listened to what I was looking for and made the whole cut and color process seamless. I absolutely despise small talk with stylists because it's usually meaningless banter to fill the silence. Damian I talked the entire time like old friends. Even while cracking jokes, he worked magic on my hair.
I love my hair! Damian is awesome and I may even start getting my haircut more regularly now. :)
