| - I love this place. It reminds me of the salon I went to back in Columbus which I absolutely loved. Even though I live in Tempe, I drive the 25 minutes or so up to DC Ranch to go to this place. Right from when you walk in the door, they are very attentive and catering. Both times I have been there, I have never waited more than 3 minutes to be seen, which is an improvement over the salon I went to in Columbus where I might wait 15 minutes after checking in.
The one haircut I have gotten so far was wonderful. I saw Bernadette who is at the stylist level. She is a transplant from the midwest as well, so we had fun chatting while she cut my hair. She did exactly what I wanted and I was in and out in less than an hour. Plus, for $45 I was extremely happy. I used to pay $55 for a cut and blowdry back in Columbus.
I also have gotten my eyebrows waxed at Par Exsalonce. My experience was fabulous. I was in and out of the salon in less than 15 minutes, which is perfect for a waxing. Jeanette did the waxing and was awesome. She was quick which is what I like. I really like the fact that they use something like baby powder to put on your eyebrows after waxing instead of lotion.
I love this salon and will definitely keep making the 25 minute drive up there in the future.

I went for another haircut today and saw Nicole. She is awesome! She is the level above a stylist, so my haircut and style was $55, but that's what I paid in Columbus, so no biggie to me. Nicole was wonderful...I asked for advice and she was very honest and gave me an awesome haircut. I will definitely be seeing her in the future. She was also very friendly and we chatted like we were old friends the entire 40 minutes or so it took for her to shampoo, cut, dry and style my hair.
