| - I went on yelp looking for a place to get a blow out. Had planned on going to Scottsdale to Primp and Blow on the Waterfront, but could not bring myself to do it based on the yelp reviews concerning the owner's conduct in dealing with her customers, so instead of risking it, I found another place closer to my home to try. "Got Roots" had six five star reviews so I thought I'd give em a whirl. I called this morning and was able to get an appt at 2pm same day. That was a bonus, although I do realize I might not be as lucky next time so I will make my next appt in advance. Natalie answered the phone and booked me for 2pm. She was very pleasant and sweet over the phone. The place is hidden in the Basha's shopping center, I think another reviewer referred to this place as a hidden gem and that would be an accurate description. The shop is small and not perfectly decorated nor really exciting to look at. If I were the same girl I was in my 20's and late thirties , I probably would have driven on past this salon as I was very much into image and "the scene " back in those days. But with experience comes the knowledge that just because a salon looks expensive and is expensive doesn't mean it is deserving or entitled to be such. Took me years to figure that out. I walked in and was greeted by Natalie. She took me to the chair right away. I explained how I was looking for a new stylist since mine recently moved to Texas and it is very important to me that a stylist can blow dry my hair correctly. I have very course, extremely frizzy hair and it is virtually impossible to find a stylist who can blow out my hair to look like silk, the only one who ever achieved this in all my 45 years, was my stylist, who recently moved to Texas. She could blow it out so gracefully and never used a flat iron and it literally looked like silk every time. Natalie said she was a little nervous but was gonna give it a try.... As she started blow drying my hair, she told me how her first job out of cosmetology school was working at a high end salon and all she did 8 hours a day for a year was wash and blow dry hair. I Don't think she realizes what a great thing that was for her. As she parted my hair in segments and brought out the big round brush, I was feeling confident. When she was 3/4 the way finished, I told her I knew immediately that she knew what the heck she was doing. I am so absolutely impressed with her blow out skills. She did an amazing job and made it look so simple. When someone can do something hard and make it look so simple, that is a talent. She was very down to earth and sweet. The other girl working next to her was also very nice. The blow out was $22!!! I am planning on going back in a few weeks to have her color my hair. I was very impressed Natalie and I will be going back.
