Hair stylist/salon suggestions...??

[sheena]

As you can see from all my post talking about hair and hair places in one of my favorite subjects.

I want to also suggest the Karsten Salons. They also have a Karsten beauty school in Tempe if you really want a bargain. I never had a bad haircut at Karsten I just don't like paying the money and the schools get booked up fast.

Taglio Salon in North Scottsdale. Dino is terrific there and also the owner.

I'm always nervous to try someone new. Haven't gotten a cut since I left MN, but need to get around to that now. My previous stylist was amazing and with tips included I paid about $45 for cut and style.

"Haircutters In The Park" in Litchfield Park is good.

Sheena,

Then we'll be in good company as I'm a hair nut too. Have you every tried Altered Ego in Tempe? They get great reviews. Also, I agree with you, Rolfs can be pricey but the cuts are superb in my book. I love their dry cutting technique. Has anyone been to Cosmos?

Hmmmm Altered Ego.........Ok sounds interesting how much will it cost me for a cut and highlites and that has to include my root touch up? Anyone in particular to ask for?

Cosmos? Where is that?

Try yelp.com for your area and reviews. I own a salon but won't recommend my stylists because that would be cheezy and too much like free advertising.

Thanks for your help and keep the referrals coming.

man, did they forget they were in AZ? that's about the going rate in Chicago! glad to see somebody's making money these days!

$109.00? Ouch! All that for somebody's idea of a perfectly coiffed look?

Call me crazy, but I'd rather go to a Barber College and get my mop snipped by some poor, starving, well-meaning student - than to get razed and ripped off by some snooty pay-me-big "stylist"!

Of course I could always get my 'do done for under $5 bucks by Bubba, who hangs out at Encanto Park...
