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!”

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!

The stylists here are professional and so talented. I consistently get compliments on my hair and believe Aveda products have a lot to do with hair health and vitality. Love this salon!
Urian absolutely CRUSHED my hair, I am so happy with the results. I came in for a last minute important and I was desperate for a last minute transformation. And let me tell you, I left happier than I expected to. He is absolutely my go to stylist now!
My favorite hair stylist Andrea is the only one I trust to cut my hair. She’s taken such good care of my hair that it’s grown longer and healthier than it ever has before in my entire life. Last time we did a partial foil and it’s grown out and blended so nicely. I definitely recommend Aveda products and coming to see Andrea to everyone!!!!
Best salon ever! I’ve been so impressed with my cut and color every time and I absolutely love my stylist Jennifer Versosky! My color and highlights have always been so vibrant and perfectly matched and the haircut has been exactly what I've been looking for. And of course added bonus- the Aveda products smell amazing! Highly recommend
Love this Aveda salon! Have all products including Aveda hair color and great staff!

It can be hard to find a place that does perms well, and I had a great experience here! Christie did a wonderful job!
I see Marge for my hair and she’s is so fabulous!! Been seeing her for years!!
Jason is amazing. He made me feel so comfortable and he provided his expertise on my hair type and texture to help me get the look and cut I was after. He was so easy to talk to and had awesome local recommendations as well! Definitely go see him!!
Run, don’t walk…RUN to this amazing salon and ask for Leanne! Hands down this is the best cut, highlight & style I have ever had, and I was a Spa/Salon Director for many years. Leanne is the ONLY stylist who has styled my hair as though I’m stepping out of a magazine shoot. Amazing! The Aveda products are wonderful,…
Ashley is wonderful ... she is a master!!!! Highly recommend!
Steph was the first person to cut my hair *correctly* in a long time! Communication is very important to me and she *really* listened to what I wanted and then cut and styled my hair perfectly. I feel like a million and a half bucks! Thanks, Steph!
I am in Phoenix for an extended stay and needed a cut and color. Looked for aveda salons near me and found Distinctive. Gabby was my stylist and first time around make my hair look beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone, whether you are traveling or for a permanent stylist.
