UPDATE:
Very sad that Rene moved away. She was such a talented stylist...but as I have learned-the salon is full of talent. I now go to Bari who is excellent and my sister goes to Haruka (sp?) and she is very happy with her as well.
I have also taken my nephew to see Kim and she was great.
I have been going to Aura for 2 years now. They treat you like royalty from the time you walk in the door.
My stylist is Rene and she is fabulous! They all are and the owner makes sure everyone does a fantastic job...and more importantly makes sure the stylists do right from the start.
Rene takes her time and is a perfectionist. I bring my son in sometimes (he is under 1) and they are always accomodating of him and dont snear at that. (Anyone with small kids will appreciate that for sure)
I have had waxing my Mindy and she is very professional. She takes her time to ensure you are happy.
Overall it is a great place. They have so many services and the prices are not bad either-for Scottsdale.
