| - Ok. I'll preface this up front. I have long hair and to say I'm a bit picky as to who I'll let cut it is a severe understatement. I would rather not get it cut than to get a bad haircut. I have really fine hair and if I get layers cut in it looks like Jim Carey's doo from Dumb and Dumber(hot i know!) and if I get a person who doesn't quite know how to cut long hair, I end up rocking a Joe Dirt type mullet. Since I live in AZ and not Arkansas or West Virginia, neither one of these backwoods styles work for me. I'm also committed to not going short and spiky like the Jersey Shore cast because I'm still working on perfecting my fist pump. I'll admit I'm close but not quite there. I"m Caucasian so this is as far as I can go...believe me, my dancing is far to white man overbite. But I digress. Back to my awesome new hair experience.
First, let me tell you that they are prompt at returning your call and very polite, friendly and organized. They are just South of Roosevelt on the West side of 9th Street with plenty of street parking and located in a cool little house that they did nice renovation work to. Straight forward and simple and tastefully done. LeAnne greeted me and let AJ know I was there for my appointment. This is a small salon and AJ is the only stylist so you need not worry about a busy environment or chaos going on around you. I introduce myself and feel immediately at ease as AJ is extremely nice and friendly. She washed my hair and sits me down in the chair. I tell her my relevant hair info and history and she start cutting. While cutting my hair, she and I have a great conversation regarding local restaurants and places we enjoy. This girl knows her food which I completely appreciate. She's vegan but it's all good as I'm not always one who needs to eat flesh. I didn't share my theory with her though but it basically goes, "If God didn't want us animals, he wouldn't have made them out of tasty meat.". Anyway, AJ and LeAnne will make a good Yelpers as they know their local restaurant scene and appreciate great food, service, and ambiance.
Back to my hair. I wasn't even paying attention as AJ was cutting my hair because we were having such a great conversation. Well, 20 minutes or so pass and she's finished. Excellent haircut. Honestly, the best haircut I've had in 20 years. F off, I know I just dated myself with that statement. This girl can cut hair and knows what looks good, is current with what's current in hair styles, but is honest enough to tell you if it won't look great on you prior to working on you. Yes, she has an opinion and there's something to be said for that. Everything previously reviewers mentioned(which is why I called and how I found this place-thanks Yelp!) are completely true. She's a master with hair. Better yet, AJ and LeAnne are both extremely nice people and have a great salon. Go there. You'll be glad you did.
Ps I forgot to mention: they take AMEX and Visa/MC. Not too many places take AMEX so for me it's good they do. And their credit card machine is wireless. Nerdy observation but cool and convenient as you can sign for your bill while your in the salon chair or wherever. I dig it.
