Love this Salon! Been going to Todd at Salon Surreal since I was about 10 (I’m 50 now ;) ) for all hair cuts and styling, as well as the best head massage in the state! I see DeAndra for all aesthetician services, and her facials are just magical! Everyone is very personable, and they care so much about you having the best experience. Thanks for all the love, Salon Surreal!

I live in SEATTLE. Been flying to PHX to have my hair colored by Carrie Callahan, and before that would drive to PORTLAND, where I first met her 20+yrs ago. Once you find a hair MASTER-someone really, really good-you don’t let them go! She’s the best-and my God-given long dark hair can’t handle being a blonde without her. It’s truly challenging to make dark hair look completely natural-and to complete a FULL HEAD OF FOILS with lightening speed!!! Love this Salon she has landed at and look forward to sitting in that chair with her every time! Don’t think about it-just book her!

Living in Arizona, my hair was definitely in need of some extra love and TLC! ☀️💕 I decided to treat myself to a deep conditioning treatment and a fresh cut with Carrie Anne, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My hair feels so soft, healthy, and refreshed. Carrie Anne did an amazing job, and I absolutely love how it turned out! Highly recommend! 💇‍♀️✨
