It seems like I've been giving out a lot of 5 star ratings lately, but my experience at Scottsdale Strands definitely deserved it.
I'm obviously a brunette and called my stylist Kandi and told her I needed a drastic change- something for summer. "Let's go Blonde." She advised for a few, soft highlights around the face and a fresh cut.
When I smocked up and settled into her chair, I told her my frustrations with my current style - long, heavy, flat by the end of the day - and told her to do her magic.
She highlighted, washed, and cut me and I couldn't be more satisfied! Kandi is very professional and all the ladies in Strands are very friendly. In fact, most of the clients are nice too. I've also had my nails done there in the past and loved it and since my last visit, a new permanent makeup specialist has moved in a semiprivate room and opened a cute, affordable boutique.
Kandi saved me from going blonde - which probably wouldn't have looked so good while letting me leave feeling refreshed for the summer. If you're looking for a new stylist, I recommend Strands - professional, reasonable, and they actually listen to you!
