| - This place should be called Adam IS THE Guy! I went in on a Friday to get my pesky gray hairs covered and this chic walked out the door looking fabulous as I was in the waiting area. I was like damn, I need a hair cut!! Like NOW...From whoever did that!
So, I asked the pleasant receptionist, who had cut that gal's locks and she said, Adam Watkins. I said, I need to make an appointment with Adam and they got me in the next day! Adam came over and introduced himself and asked what I was looking for, I said, "Do what you do, I trust you...Just try and keep the length." He said he would make sure I walked out looking great, which I did (more details to come).
So, back to covering the pesky grays. Jenna my colorist was a sweetheart and she covered up my grays perfectly without going too dark! I have a weird hair-color that is ALMOST black with some areas that are more of an Espresso brown. If a colorist goes too dark, I can end up looking pretty goth, which is not exactly what I am going for at this point in my life. Another downside of my hair-color is how it stains my skin; she managed to deface my grays, while not staining my forehead and ears black! Yay!
The following day I sit down for Adam to chop me a new 'do'. I was a bit rough around the edges from a long previous night and it showed...he still managed to make me walk out of there looking glamorous! I had a 'country event' to go there that evening, so he went for long layers and some chopy, swooping, long bangs that he added some natural curl to! The 'Taylor Swift', but for dark hair lol!
At some point I ranted about not being able to color my hair fun colors because it was so dark and he said, well they have this NEW stuff!! It is like makeup for your hair that you flat iron in!!! Next thing you know we are getting frisky adding a few bright red streaks to my layered locks. Added some spunk to the already sexy style!
Long story short if you skim to the bottom: Toni & Guy is fabulous, you get what you pay for, and quite reasonably too for Scottsdale! All the assistants and stylists get two thumbs up in my book! Adam and Jenna rock! I will return many more times!
