I started to go to Ali at Ulta years ago. There was no question that I'd follow her to Molli Cody's in Scottsdale.
I usually just get a cut. I've got fairly short hair and it's easy for people to mess it up, but Ali never has. I get lots of complements afterward ... even from my Mom (a tough critic, hah!).
One of the best things about going to Ali is that she's friendly and flexible and really easy to work with for scheduling, and oh, did i say friendly? The location is nice, a small and friendly shop.
I recommend Ali highly. Give her a try!
