5 reviews for Altered Ego Salon & Spa
I have been visiting Altered Ego Salon & Spa for my nails, hair, eyebrows as long as I've lived in the area. I found it on a whim and decided to walk in and check the place out. This is also how I found my second home, Solo Cafe, which is attached. I have never been disappointed by any of the services I have had done.
Altered Ego's atmosphere makes you instantly comfortable. The decor is gorgeous throughout the entire establishment. The staff is very friendly and always makes sure you are satisfied. The front of the store has a boutique area with unique clothing and handmade jewelry and accessories. I have bought a few dresses from them and they have ended up being my favorites and reasonably priced.
Danielle does my eyebrows and she's fantastic. The waxing/skin care room is so relaxing. The table is extremely comfortable and the low lighting is perfect. She's very attentive and makes sure everything is done exactly as I'd like and that I won't have a reaction to anything she uses.
Tiffany has done my nails on several occasions. She's very precise and does several types including gel wraps. Additionally, she does nail art. Having a paraffin wax done at the same time is a fantastic bonus. If you've never had a paraffin wax, you are definitely missing out. Go . Have. One. Now.
Last but not least in any way is Laura who does my hair. How fantastic is she. I think I scared her the first time I came in and asked for violet and blond, but I really expect this to happen everywhere I go. I tend to go a little overboard with my hair (especially with coloring) and I expect for salons to expect normal customers. I appreciate this though, as she truly made sure it was what I wanted before she made such a drastic change to my hair. Now, not much surprises her with me, and sometimes she even suggests something more drastic than I am thinking. I love that she has gotten to know me and can remember my likes and dislikes and assist me in making the best decision as to what will look good on me. I am not a hair stylist and it's that help that I value the most.
All in all this place is fabulous and you won't be disappointed. If you need any more convincing, I've ordered coffee from Solo. From my salon chair.
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 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.
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!
Ashley at Altered Ego does a great job cutting and coloring my hair. She did such a fantastic job at giving me "summer" highlights last fall. I was concerned about it needing to look natural, and it looked so natural that no one really noticed. It was perfect! She also does an amazing job with my toddler daughter's hair, gives her a super-cute bob that gets complimented wherever we go. The atmosphere is great and prices reasonable. Highly recommended!

History
Established in 1983
Altered Ego started out in 1983 as a small family owned and operated salon. The owner later passed on the business and all her hard work to her three daughters that currently run the business and have continued to make it what it is today.
Meet the Business Owner: Tawni H.
After finishing beauty school I went away to Colorado Institute of Art were I received my Associates degree in Visual Communications. In 1995 I returned to Arizona and worked at a publishing company working on various projects. Eventually I realized that I missed the beauty industry and went to work at the family business. My mother's decision to retire brought me to take over the family business and make it my own. With lots of work, ups and downs I am proud to say we are successful and running stronger than ever. Thanks to all our loyal customers and support from our staff.
