I'm thrilled to have found a place that does balayage in Phoenix! I wasn't sure what to expect at first when I found this salon online, because the majority of the pictures were of blondes. Having dark Asian hair, I didn't know if this salon would be able to accommodate that.
Enter Ali. Pretty much my new favorite person. She was running a special on balayage/foils at $99. As a pretty broke student, this was screaming my name. I booked an appointment online and met with Ali the next week. I had a little trouble finding this place as I'd parked in the wrong parking lot, but I called Ali and she stood outside the front door waving at me to help me find the place. I'm geographically challenged. I've accepted that.
Ali is incredibly friendly and supportive. She's also willing to tell it as it is. I wanted to go for highlights that were more natural and low maintenance. She helped me accomplish both, and within a couple of hours, I was out of there with a new haircut!
The salon is clean and there are about 6-7 chairs. The majority of the stylists are independent, but I would never have guessed that based on the level of communication and cooperation I saw.
The change in my hairstyle wasn't drastic, but it was enough to make me feel all summery.
Thanks Ali!
