. "I have lived in AZ for almost 8 years and have been to probably as many hair stylists. I just haven't found one that I'm in love with. I found Altered Ego on Yelp last week when searching for a salon near my house since I had very little time and desperately needed a chop before working 4 long days at Phoenix Comicon. I called and lucked out that they had an appointment available the same afternoon. I was happy since I have called on previous occasions and they were booked solid.\n\nMatthew was my stylist. He was extremely chatty and bubbly and had a good attitude. He listened to my concerns about my last cut. I was pleased with the results even though he took off a little more than I am used to, about 8 inches overall. I had to learn some new styling techniques, but I think I have got it down. I felt confident that my hair looked good while talking to hundreds (thousands?) of people all weekend.\n\nI liked the atmosphere of the salon, and the staff was all very friendly and approachable, especially the girl that washed my hair, her name escapes me. They also gave me a welcome package with coupons for future visits so that was nice. I think I will go back. :)"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "2012-05-29T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ . . "4"^^ .
