Marjorie is the best. I’ve been coming here for years. Consistent, clean and always welcoming salon. Love this place. .

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.

Destiny did my haircut and this is one of the best haircuts that I’ve had in years. She did such a great job of making sure she knew what I wanted and talked me through everything. I’ve never felt so comfortable during a haircut. I will be back for sure.
The best salon experience I've ever experienced. Stephanie was so incredible and knowledgeable! Everyone was really nice at this salon!
Great experience at Biltmore location yesterday. Destiny did such a wonderful job recoloring my hair, working so hard to blow my curly hair smooth and straight. Simply beautiful!!
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.
