Review from Kristen G.

For 22 years, I have tried to hide my naturally (very!) curly hair. I would spend hours straightening it daily... hours! I desperately wanted to fit in and have the beautiful silky hair you see on every magazine cover. About two months ago, I just threw up my hands and said, "Screw it!" Two months later, I am now a very proud curly girl, and I have felt so much freedom from allowing myself to finally be me.
My mother is a hair stylist and has been doing my hair for many years at no cost to me. She is fabulous at what she does and has worked at some top notch salons. However, she is not as experienced with naturally curly hair as I'd like my stylist to be. I decided to search for a hair stylist with training in how to specially cut hair for a girl like me. I looked at a list of Deva Curl trained stylists, and up popped Terri.
The moment I entered her seat, I felt like a celebrity. She, along with several other stylists, rushed over and oohed and aahhhed at my hair. Mind you, my curly hair has always been something to hide, but here... well, I felt like a star! I am well researched in how to take care of my curls, but even so, Terri had excellent ideas and tips for me (which I have been using!). Her and her assistant treated me so well and I could tell they knew exactly what they were doing. Other stylists in the salon also came over and told me how much they loved my hair... what a great feeling! I walked out feeling confident and more in love with my curls than ever. Not to mention Terri did a superb job! Can't wait to go back in a few weeks! -

This a long overdue review!! I absolutely love this place.
I went here for years and every time I come to Arizona I can't help but make an appointment. When I lived in Tempe, I would get my hair done (highlights and cut/styled) by Ashley and eyebrows done by Danielle. I got to know them pretty well and miss them. They are both amazing!
Every time I walked out of there, I felt like a star.
They definitely pampered you and made sure you were very pleased with their services.
The ambiance is great and overall just a pleasing experience :) -

I am very pleased with the result of my trip to Altered Ego. Unfortunately, I had to wait about 25 minutes after my appointment time to see the stylist, so the place doesn't get 5 stars. Not sure what was going on there, but I think they just overbooked her, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt this time.
Anyway, once I got to the chair, Amor asked what I had in mind, and I gave her the basics: a trim, and more layers. She gave her ideas, and I basically said "go for it!" After a lovely scalp massage and wash, she got down to it. After she cut my hair, it felt so light! I still can't believe how she managed to make my long hair so bouncy. She styled my hair and gave me some suggestions for low-maintenance ways to make my hair more exciting at home.
Overall, I would definitely go back. It was definitely worth the price! -

This place is THE best hair salon in the valley. I am from CA and I never thought I would find any place up to par....until I found Altered Ego. They have the best service and quality color/cut. I have been to multiple stylists at A.E. and they always had me feeling satified with my results. I moved to Scottsdale and have tried several salons in Old Town and North Scottsdale when Altered Ego was booked...I regret it. Next time I am definitely waiting for an appointment at Altered Ego. I have my sister and girlfriends going here and have never had anyone come home crying or disappointed...they actually come out big headed and confident (which is how you are supposed feel leaving a salon).

I want to these place to get my eyebrows waxed based on the good reviews. I went on a Saturday morning and it was PACKED. However, I was told this place is almost always packed by the employee. I had to wait t bit past my appointment time. The service was good and reasonably priced.

Oh, Altered Ego Salon & Spa, I'm sure you deserve more than 4 stars!
But I can't say too much about this place (yet) since I *just* got my hair cut there. First, let me preface by saying I have a high expectations for salons. A salon is a place where you can relax, dust off your dirt and 'clean up'. Personally, a salon is a luxury, and in the end, should feel luxurious.
The decor: Altered Ego's decor is fantastic! Classy, rustic, and dare I say, homey? It's got a very relaxed feel to it, and each work station had its own little rustic dresser of... brushes, bobby pins, styling tools and more! It's definitely a cute place.
O.K., so I must admit I don't get my hair cut often... maybe twice a year. I came into Altered Ego on a whim (I made a reservation of course) because I needed a change. And a change I got!
I got Matthew and he cut about 4-ish inches off my hair. How short is my hair now? Short. But he cut my it very well, and the layers really frame my round and sometimes awkward face pretty nicely. I think my face actually looks a little sharper now! Overall, I'm pleased with my hair and the price wasn't bad either (I've had a more expensive cut and it was about the same, if not worse.)
To top it off, Matthew actually talked about interesting things, and didn't talk too much, which is very important. Granted, "interesting" is relative, but I enjoyed discussing theatre and broadway shows with him. :-)
So, was it luxurious? Yes, in a cutesy way. Was it relaxing? Yes. Did I clean up well? Definitely. -

I absolutely love this place! I have never been happier with my hair than when Ashley has done it for me. I am a stylist's worst nightmare because every time I walk in I have no idea what I want or how to articulate it and every single time Ashley has deciphered what I was trying to say and given me a beautiful cut or color or whatever I have wanted. I cannot say it enough, but I could never have anyone else do my hair any longer. She is the best!
I am getting my hair and makeup done for me and my whole wedding party soon and I am so happy that I am doing it here. The overall vibe of this salon is just so comfortable and I really enjoy going here.
They also have this great little play area for kids to go to while you get your hair done and they do kiddos hair too. So, I am going to schedule a Mommy-Daughter salon day with my little girl and spend some great girl time there.
I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is. Check it out! -

I've been going to Altered Ego for 5+ years now and cannot say enough good things about the place, especially Terri who does my color/cut each time. It's a great salon and Terri makes my hair look great. Ask for her!
They are a full salon with tanning, nails and even a daycare for kids while the parent(s) get beautiful. They are attached to a coffee shop next door and so you can order a coffee and they'll even deliver it over to you at your hair station.
Altered Ego has great staff and I recommend it! -

I'm so totally on board.
Very cool place - so welcoming - and in the 'hood no less!!! I took a shot because I wanted spray tan and an edgier cut. Got both and left happy, bank account intact!!
In a world where once upon a time, I paid Frederic Fekkai an INSANE amount of money to do a mediocre job on my hair. I was so pleased that Kenton not only listened but delivered a great cut - exactly what I wanted and I love it. And he's a peach - total sweetheart; although I gotta say, everyone I came in contact with here was very kind.
Spray tan was discounted for me as a first timer there and it was done well. Not over the top color but enough to say weekend at the beach.
It was all good. Humble thanks to the Yelpers who have gone before; yet again it landed me in a good spot. -

So I was on that never fun quest to find a new hair salon after a bad experience at E's Urban Hair where I previously had gone for haircuts. I browsed on Yelp, and decided on this salon based on reviews and the close proximity to home. After the lovely people at E's mis-scheduled my appointments TWO times, I was on my third haircut attempt for the week and was hoping for a decent outcome.
Rebecca did a really great job! She really listened to what I wanted and I really liked how it came out. I asked for my hair to be texturized, expecially in the crown and it came out great.
When I got to work, I received so many compliments from my coworkers. One of my coworkers even took her info down and was going to try to book an appointment this weekend!
The salon is super cute inside. It has this calm, earthy, organic feel to it. If that makes sense. lol. And my haircut was only $45, too!!! -

I'm super picky about who does my hair. But since I discovered Paige, at Altered Ego, I'M HOOKED. I will never, ever cheat on her. She's my girl.
Every time I go in for a color or a cut, I tell her that it was 'THE BEST HAIRCUT EVER'. So, it just gets better each time.
I have already referred 4 of my friends and family to her and they have the same response. They're all sticking with her.
Honestly, I think she may be the best in Arizona. THE BEST.
MOM's and DAD's! They have a childcare area. I thought it might be weird the first time I went, but it's actually very safe, clean and stress-free. My son had the best time. -

I went here to get a spray tan for my company holiday party. I have a medium skin tone but my summer tan was totally gone and I didn't want look be pasty in my cocktail dress. I had done this totally wack spray tan from a tanning salon years ago and it ended up being a nightmare. This time I couldn't mess around and knew I had to get it done by a professional. I was not disappointed.
This is a really nice salon.... trendy and clean inside. As I waited for my tan I was bummed that I wasn't getting my hair done as well. Everyone sitting in a chair had cool color and cuts going on; I couldn't help but be jealous. My appointment was with Danielle. She gave me run down on what to expect as far as the tan and how to care for my skin to achieve maximum results. She mentioned that she had been doing this for 7 years, and I could tell, she was really professional and knowledgeable.
The tan came out great. No streaking at all, Danielle did an amazing job. I didn't look like an umpa lumpa either, it was all very natural and I got a lot of compliments. It's been 5 days and it still looks great. -

We are returnees to Arizona but previously lived in the West Valley so I was hating the idea of finding a new hair stylist. Luckily, my daughter has been seeing Amor at Altered Ego for her hair and she suggested
that I schedule an appointment with Amor also. So glad I took her recommendation. This is a wonderful salon, Amor is very sweet and easygoing. Amor is outstanding in her skills, she knows exactly what you want and what will look good for with your hair. Amor did a beautiful cut and color on my hair at my first appointment with her. The prices were reasonable as well. The salon is very relaxing and the staff is friendly. I am so happy to have found my new stylist on my daughter's recommendation here in Tempe. Thanks Altered Ego and Amor for a great day!! -

I received my first haircut here as a curly girl! Terri cut my hair, using the Deva technique ( wedge cut). Of course I was a bit nervous at first--but after having a short consultation with her before having my hair cut I was totally comfortable. I loved the results and she even told me to come back if I had any straggly ends.
I love everything about this salon, everyone is friendly, unlike some salons, where you walk in and the shop goes completely silent. LOL. The owner is awesome too!
THANKS TERRI!Listed in: Beauty & Hair

After my hair stylist moved, I was wary of finding another good one. I found great reviews on Altered Ego and decided to take a chance...
Not only is this salon super cute in decorations, but it is family owned and well-established. My stylist knew how to help me and did a great job on my cut and color.
When I went back a second time, my stylist and the person at the front desk gave me knowledgeable recommendations on quality products to use.

Review from Marissa L.

I just moved to Arizona a few months ago and needed to find a new colorist in the area. Unfortunately I found Kenton at this salon. I read pretty good reviews about him and when I called asking for someone who is very experienced With highlights on Asian hair, Kenton was recommended to me. Overall, he was very nice, but I am not looking for a friend, I am looking for a good colorist. His highlighting skills are subpart, compare to my girl in LA, he really kind of Suck. My hair ended up looking more gold than blonde and he did not do my roots until I asked him why my roots were still showing, apparently there was a miscommunication between us, even though I specifically told him what I want and how my last colorist performed the task. He charged me $115 for highlights and roots, more than what I paid in LA!
I was going to write a separate review on his cutting ability, but it is not possible to post two different reviews under one account, so i had to change the overall score from 2 stars to 1 star. Most importantly, please avoid him at all cost! I have never had a hair dresser fuck up my bangs so badly. I can cut my bangs better than him. He totally butcher it! As for the rest of my Hair cut, it is barely noticeable. I guess the only thing he did right was not cutting off too much of my length. His hair cutting ability is horrendous, can't believe he actually told me he is good at it.
In conclusion, I hare my hair now and it is so bad I want to cry! Please do't go to Kenton, maybe someone else in the salon can do a better job! Lastly, the lesson here for me is never completely trust great reviews when looking for a stylist, I should have stuck to my old method, find someone with great hair cut and color and find out who their stylist is. -

I think I'm in love. Is it too soon to say it?...Terri was referred by a close friend and I couldn't be happier with my JET BLACK hair (which I would have never considered in my life before). My hair was extremely damaged from the Coppola Keratin Treatment I got 3 months ago at another salon, and Terri not only revived it, but elevated the color and texture beyond my wildest dreams. I think I may have asked Terri to move in to my house at some point. I don't know, I blacked out with joy. I highly recommend her to ANYONE. Her skills are sharp, she doesn't mind staying late to help a girl in need and she is an absolute joy to spend 2 hours with. Thank you Terri!!! (and thank you Tara for recommending her!)

I am a pain in the butt customer for some stylists - Communicating through hand gestures and visual aids, not big on small talk, and content to zone out.
Rebecca totally copes with that though and gives me the best haircuts I have had, over and over again.
I even cheated on her once (it was a favor to family) and got totally mangled; Rebecca was able to repair what was essentially a lost battle with a weedwhacker without too much time spent waiting for missing chunks to regrow to proper length. I respect her skills in dealing with cowlick filled hair, it shows a lot of technical thinking, patience, and shows the ability to treat each customer as a unique haircut instead of forcing People magazine clipouts onto different hair textures.
Front desk is nice, vibe is nice, waiting is comfortable, Solo Cafe right there, how good can it get?! -

I am an Arizona transplant from Southern California. I have VERY thick & curly hair, and it is hard for me to find someone who can work with my hair & do a great job. So when we moved out here I had no clue who to go to. I tried one place & i asked them if they knew how to cut my kind of hair. Of course they said yes, but they completely chopped it. I ended up going back to Cali to visit my family & had my old stylist fix it. I then waited almost a year before i let someone touch my hair again. Then someone at my office told me about this great salon down the street from us & told me to ask for Tawnie. i was very scared of another botched haircut, but she listened to what i wanted & i came out with the best haircut i have had i a very long time. Tawnie washes & cuts my hair & then straitens it to make sure it is all even & then textures it for me. We even thin it every few times (something that i have run away from in the past b/c if done wrong will make my hair fro out like a bad clown wig) and it always turns out great. The fact that she blows it dry & styles it is great b/c i have a lot of hair & it takes a while to dry. She always shows me the best new products for my hair so I can easily style it at home too, which is no small feat, I have been going here for 4 years now & i will keep coming back as long as i still live here. Thank you Tawnie for taking great care of my hair for me!

After having a pampering day, I feel compelled to update my review to include the new awesome I have experienced.
In addition to brow waxing, Danielle's facials are amazing. I recently came back from a 4 month trip that was camping for the most part and she did wonders to help revitalize my face and take away any damage the setting had done. She asked me questions to help determine what the best procedure was for me and made the entire session relaxing and comfortable. This will certainly not be my last facial.
Tiffany was very patient when it came to my return pedicure. After four months of hiking boots and socks ALL. THE. TIME. .. well except for the shower when I got to wear wonderful flip flops, my feet were a pure disaster zone. I will spare you the horrid detail. It was bad. I was actually a little embarrassed, even though I knew it was typical. I walked out of there a million times better!
Finally, I came back surprised to find my stylist had left, and scheduled an appointment with Ashley, whom I was told would not be afraid of my sometimes interesting hair decisions. She was fantastic!! Rather than try to reign me in, she helped set me free and even showed me a natural vegan product line to help put the natural curl in my hair. Everything she did was pure magic and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. I am totally in love with my hair!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Feeling like I needed a color change, I scheduled an appointment here with Shaya (through reference of a friend).
I had never been to Altered Ego before today and I must say, it is absolutely adorable. The salon is decorated to have a very home-y, rustic feel, and the employees are all super friendly.
I didn't know what exact color I was looking for, so Shaya was extremely helpful in explaining my different options. I decided on a rich, dark copper brown...it turned out beautifully. I will most definitely be visiting Shaya again.
The price was extremely affordable and the service was beyond excellent. I recommend it to everyone! -

I recently moved to Tempe and decided to pop into Altered Ego Salon to get my eyebrows waxed. They set me up with Rebecca who did a great job. I was also happy they had time for a walk-in.
A few weeks later I made a hair appointment with Rebecca and got the best haircut I had in years. When I got there she sat me down and asked me what I wanted. My hair is shoulder length and I asked for as many layers as possible. I was then taken to the sink for shampoo and conditioner. During the conditioner she massaged my head which felt extremely nice. During the cut she spent a lot of time making sure my hair was layered everywhere.
Overall it was a wonderful experience and I will definitely go back there again. I appreciated how the salon was pretty quiet. It made the experience relaxing.
There is a really cute coffee shop attached called Solo, which I also recommend. -

Unfortunately, my hair stylist from hair pollution, Darcy, moved up to north Scottsdale and this would have been too much of the commute for me so i had to start looking for a new place and stylist. This place is absolutely awesome, the staff is super friendly and were kind enough to accommodate my sister who just needed her ends trimmed, oh and the stylist didn't even charge her for it! Anyways, they took me in right away and my hair stylist Rebecca is this cute brunette with long locks and I have long hair so I was very comfortable with her cutting my hair. She washed, cut, and styled my hair in 45 minutes and my hair looked fabulous and healthy oh and the price wasn't bad to boot! This is my new place!

After much stylist turmoil and almost a year without a haircut because I was in denial I came to yelp and found Altered Ego. It's close to my house and had great reviews. I booked an appointment with Marla and went in for a much shorter cut. She took her time and made sure it was what I wanted. Several hours after my appointment I realized that I just didn't like it. For the first time in my life I called and asked if I could come back to have some adjustments made. Marla made time the same day and gave the cut more "wow" and an edgier flare. She followed up with me TWICE to make sure I still liked it. The final product was fabulous and I have received many compliments on my new "do". I will be returning for furture cuts!

After reading all these great reviews, I decided to check out Altered Ego and use their new client offer - pay for a color and get a haircut free. I now have a new place to go for my hair.
When I called to book my appointment, the receptionist was very polite and helpful. She booked me for a cut and color with Amor.
Amor is awesome. She took the time to make sure my cut and color were exactly what I wanted. I love my new hair style and will definitely go back. -

I got my hair done here for my wedding by Paige. She did an amazing job with my updo, really taking her time to make sure that I looked my best. The results were better than I could have imagined given that I have stubborn, disobedient hair.
The salon itself has a very nice vibe to it, and is next door to the Solo cafe, where you can get a tasty drink before or after your appointment.
I highly recommend this place! -

If I wasn't in an episode of Tabitha's Salon Takeover, I needed to be. Not really sure how I could be the only mediocre reviewer.
First, I walked in on two people, which I couldn't see because they were out of my view, talking about another co-worker, and I think it was their boss. Needless to say it wasn't a good conversation. There was no one at the receptionist desk to greet me and they had to hear me walk in because there is a bell on the door. While I sat waiting for someone to acknowlege me, I was observing the overall feel of the salon. It is a pretty cute and in-style place and would have felt comfortable except for the dust everywhere. The shelves with product were pretty bad, and I don't think the lighting fixtures had ever been dusted, which of course I noticed as the stylist was drying my hair and I had to lay with my head back against the chair. Yuck...cobwebs and all!
Furthermore, I was given this place as a recommendation to have my curly hair cut. It is very difficult to find someone that really knows how to cut naturally curly hair. The stylist wanted to cut it dry. That is a big, big no-no! Once curly hair is cut dry and then washed and styled, it never curls the same way. And, long curly hair curls differently than short curly hair. So, after discussing this and my other problem areas (a small cowlick in my bangs and areas of my hair that don't curl), we decided to cut it wet, thankfully. After she cut and dried my hair she exclaimed "your hair curled more than I anticipated!"
The stylist wanted to make sure I was satisfied, and I was when I left. It was styled in a great hair-style that I really liked. However, I found that I could never duplicate it once I got home and tried styling it on my own. She cut the cowlick against it's natural curl and let me tell you, that piece of hair hung in my face like a sore thumb for nearly a month when it finally grew out and I could pin it back. Within that week after the haircut was when I realized that I was irritated and it felt as if I had never even had a haircut.
I have to give to stars for effort of the stylists part and the price was really appropriate, but at this point, I just don't think I can go back. :( -

She's is so professional and really puts you at ease. The ambiance is comfortable, relaxing, and everyone is so welcoming. I've recommended lots of friends to this salon and I'll continue to visit Altered Ego for years to come.

A co worker who knew I was looking for a stylist to help with my upcoming wedding recommend this salon so I went to have a shampoo style. Shaya did a great job and was super sweet! I went back with my veil to see what they could do. Tawni amazed me with her ideas, using her tablet to bring up live pictures certainly facilitated a wonderful discussion and I LOVED what she did with my hair and will certainly use her for my big day! Thank you!

I just moved out here from California and I had been seeing the same hair stylist for years. I was nervous about trying to find someone out here to do my hair. I listened to reviews from yelp and decided to check it out. I saw Kenton and got a free cut with my color. He did a great job and is definitely a perfectionist. It took a little longer than I'm used to, but in the end I loved it so it was worth it. I just need to make sure to leave more time for the appointment. Everyone was nice and friendly and the salon was nice and clean.

So, I have been here twice now, and both times I have had a wonderful experience with walking out of there confident that my hair feels and looks as great as the way I was picturing it. Amor, my stylist, took the time to listen, and also added her own take to the haircut, with my permission of course. I have paid a lot of money elsewhere, and still have walked out with disappointment . Not here! I look forward to my nest haircut with Amor. :)

She is definitly not afraid of color, and will make you look great, no matter what!

When I moved from Arizona, this was one of the places I was very sad to leave behind!
You know how sometimes you love how your haircut turns out and so you go back the next month for the same thing and for some reason the same haircut isn't as good? That doesn't happen here. For the three years I lived in the Phoenix area, Tawni always gave me a consistently great haircut that I always walked away very happy with.
I have long hair and I'm always a little leery of haircuts because I'm afraid the stylst is going to take too much off. But Tawni is careful, meticulous and listens to what you want with your haircut. She's also very good about suggesting small adjustments to your current style in order to update your look. A couple years ago she suggested I try out some bangs and I was very nervous, because I hadn't had bangs since I was a little girl. I wasn't sure how to style them, so I held out for months. She was completely understanding and didn't push the issue, but always gave me the style I wanted. Over time, I became so impressed with her skills that I trusted her enough to cut my bangs. I loved them - and two years later, I still do! She even took time after the haircut to show me exactly how to style them with a round brush.
In total - it's a very professional hair salon with great, friendly service, an inviting environment (modern without being stuffy or pretentious) AND the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality haircuts you get. -

I went here yesterday after reading the other reviews here. I am new to the area, and did not know where to do. After having a terrible highlight and color at the last salon I was afraid to try someplace new again. I had a highlight/ color and cut with Lori. She was so nice from the moment I walked in. She took the time to talk to me, and ask what I was looking for. She knew good questions to ask so that she would fully understand what I was looking for. Since my last color was terrible, the process took longer than normal, but Lori made my hair look beautiful! She was really nice and got my color and cut perfect! I did get the new client free haircut with color, so the price was reasonable, actually less than I expected for the amount of time! I highly recommend Lori and the entire salon!
