I've lived in Tempe for a long time, and I haven't really found a salon that I love yet. I've gone off of Groupons and friends' recommendations and still haven't been able to find a salon that isn't super stuffy and doesn't completely overcharge me.
I have been to HelloGorgeous Salon twice now. I initially went in with a Groupon (just like almost everyone else), and unlike a lot of places, they were really nice and almost excited about my Groupon. Because I needed quite a bit of color correction in my hair, I was there for over four hours in my first visit. Kristen was a amazing; she was super patient, and we got along really well. My color and cut turned out awesome, and they were really reasonable with prices!!
I just got back from my second visit, and I can say that I have found my new go-to salon. I am so happy with the color, and I really feel like Kristen puts a lot of care and attention into getting my hair how I want it.
I would highly recommend checking this place out!
