I have been going to R Salon for the past two years and absolutely could not be happier with the service I have received. I stumbled upon R Salon on accident and had Rick (stylist and owner) cut and color my hair after I moved to Phoenix in 2010. He not only did a wonderful job but was extremely friendly and a great conversationalist. Since then, I have been in the salon at least once every two months (often times more) and have had pretty major cuts and dye jobs and loved every single one.
One of the most stand out qualities of the salon is the deep level of customer appreciation all of the workers have from the front desk to the assistants to the stylists themselves. Within one or two appointments, Rick's assistants new my name and remembered previous conversations we had (Marta is the absolute best shampooer of all time and tells hilarious stories). Additionally, Rick has touched up my hair for free multiple times after a few days of wearing it around and deciding I want it a little shorter/more layered/etc. He is patient and considerate and never makes me feel like I'm wasting his time or being a pain.
Long story short, I love this salon and have no intentions of getting my hair done anywhere else.
