My experience at this Aveda salon with Marjorie is always amazing! from the scalp and shoulder massage to the products to the cut, styling and the final result, I am always very well taken care of and extremely pleased! This time I even was able to purchase some Christmas gifts of Aveda products well ahead of the season! Thank you for everything!
I am have been coming here for 10 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Stephanie is my main girl, but all the hair Artisan’s here are just that… Artisan’s.
Love the tea, the scalp massage and the products. Always reliable for a good haircut.
Relaxing atmosphere and professional haircut and color. Great products.
Andrea always listens to exactly what I want to do with my hair and nails or every time. I love my cut and how she blows it out and styles it. She's AMAZING!!!
Marjorie is the best. I’ve been coming here for years. Consistent, clean and always welcoming salon. Love this place. .
Distinctive is an upscale salon with a good vibe. They are masters of hair so your locks are in great hands! I know with Andrea, everyday is a good hair day!
Margie is the best. Love this salon and have been coming here for 12 years
I love Ashley the owner. I’ve been coming here for 6 years now and will never ever leave. My hair always looks great. She knows exactly what to do. She is an A++++++ expert. I am very finicky and sensitive and haven’t stayed this long anywhere but with Ashley it’s been a match made in heaven.
Was able to get in last minute with an online booking. The staff was kind. I saw Morgan, she was so sweet. Really listened and was helpful with her input. First time and really enjoyed it! Go see Morgan! I saw they had a review at the checkout and you got two free smaple size products but I forgot to do it when I was checking out!
My boyfriend gets his haircuts here with Jen and she always does a fantastic job! He is always very satisfied with his cuts and says this is his favorite salon in Phx.
Absolutely love my hair! My stylist, Leigha, listened to exactly what I wanted and made it even better. Professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. Highly recommend!”
She did an amazing job on my hair. Love it!
Such an amazing haircut! I have alternative hair and it's hard to find a place that does alternative well and Urian did a fantastic job! I will definitely be coming back here
Leigh’s Shepard was fabulous…. Took great care in making sure I really wanted my hair cut…
Christie did an amazing color and cut. It is wonderful to have a color Specialist who listens and creates a look for my lifestyle.
Loved that they had day-of appointments; standout service and visit with Urain.
Andrea was so amazing and so friendly! She was super great and so fun to talk to! The front desk receptionist Pita was so sweet and really made such a great first impression. I watched her work so hard during the shift! Overall, awesome time!
Decided to try this place because of the review to star ratio, and it held up! Destiny was listed as a level 1 and I picked her because she was the lowest priced. She really knew her stuff though. Talked me through a whole plan for what I wanted, and advised me against things I clearly hadn’t thought through. She…
Andrea was my stylist! Great cut! I’m very picky. But I’ll be back to see her!
