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…

I get my color done by Betsy or Chloe, and both do a great job every time. The salon is very clean as well, and I always feel very welcomed every time I come in. I get my hair bleached and colored purple and that can take awhile, so the staff always makes sure I’m doing good, and they offer water or coffee as a nice…

I visited Salon Surreal while in Phoenix, and it turned out to be one of the better salon experiences I’ve had. The space had a polished look without feeling overly formal, and the atmosphere was relaxed from the moment I walked in. It felt like a place where regular clients return because they trust the stylists…

I've been to this salon a few times and this time was especially great. Mackenzie listened and cut with confidence. I ended up with more of the same confidence as I left with my cute styled hairdo. Compliments from my friends followed.

“Wanted to give this place a good rating but the haircut is absolutely terrible. I was very verbal and diligent about how I wanted my hair cut. It’s cut so bad that I have to wear different from how I wanted it to be styled. My hair doesn’t even cover my prosthetic ear and that’s what I care the most about when it…

Professional service, reasonable prices, positive atmosphere, and very easy to make an appointment. I get my hair cut and colored by Amanda and it turns out great every time - I leave with my hair looking and feeling exponentially nicer and healthier than when I walked in.

Completely ruined my hair, i asked for long layers and showed exactly where I wanted my layers, my shortest layer is as short as my face frame and the length was “kept” by a strand, it looks like I have short hair and a random hair extension in! I left with my hair still wet so i didn’t see the full result until I…

Rachel was a delight to work with. I went in for a consultation and scheduled a cut & color the same day. She was very attentive to my needs, making sure I was comfortable and happy with results along the way. She worked with me when I changed my mind and seemed very excited the whole time.
