Michael Alexander Salon

Wonderful place and amazing service. Beth did an excellent job on my eyelashes with the extension. She is also kind and friendly and listens to you. Everybody who works at the salon is professional and helpful. I’m so glad to find them, and I can’t wait to go back to do the filling on my eyelashes. Thank you everybody for the kindness and care. Thank you Beth for making my eyes beautiful.

It took me 6 years of bad highlights and underwhelming haircuts to find Beth at Michelle Alexander. She’s a skilled artist with a ton of technical color experience including my favorite– balayage. I love that she has fresh ideas and is always ahead of the trends.

One of the best salons I have ever been too. Awesome services. Very flexible schedules and hours. Very upscale for awesome prices. By far one of my favorite salons.

JJ is great! My hair is difficult-​to say the least-​and from the first cut, she knew what to do w/​my myriad of cowlicks, curls and fine hair. What a relief.

Amazing amazing service!!! If your looking for a clean friendly experienced salon go here! The nail tech does an amazing job! I have gotten my eye lash extensions done here by Dana and they are amazing! Never been so pleased! Beth has been doing my hair and I love my ombré she does!!! Love love the services here they make me feel like family! Book your appt today! :-)

I decided to give this salon a go, but in the end I just wish I had gone another way.
The Salon is small, but clean and the receptionist was very friendly. She correctly guessed who I was based on the time I walked in and the appointment that was scheduled which was nice, she let me know that she would inform my stylist that I was there.
I sat myself down and not another word was said to me or another glance given for the next 20 minutes. I wasn’t too upset about the wait time because I did arrive 15 minutes early. However, no offer of a magazine to read, water to drink, or coffee, etc. Eye contact seemed to be avoided at all costs. To be fair, there was some self serve coffee set out if I had wanted any, but I didn’t. It was cool to me because I’m not much for eating and drinking while I get my hair done to begin with, but if you’re going to try to be competitive with other high end salons in the valley (of which there are many), you’re going to have to do far better than some ‘serve yourself’ gas station style coffee setup on the side.
After 20 minutes of waiting my stylist came out and so it began. I felt that I was very clear in the style of cut that I wanted, even going so far as to show pictures of what I wanted, and then we discussed color. Then. the cutting started…
Now, I went in for a pretty classic cut, something in the style of an A-​Line, where I could tuck it to the side if I wanted. This should be a simple haircut for even the novice stylist. I don’t know why I bothered to say anything in the first place — it was a cut that I could have gotten at Great Clips, if even that good.
While all of this was going on, the entire staff seemed disinterested in being there at best. Most of them were doing 1 of 3 things, 1) Checking their cellphones and texting constantly, 2) Bitching about the atmosphere and the music there — I guess station changes are not allowed? or 3) Cleaning /​sweeping or doing menial chores with scowls on their faces.
Biting my tongue since it was already far too late in the process, I hoped that the whole bad cut would be redeemed in the color /​styling portion of the experience. What I got for the color was even more shockingly bad than the damned cut itself! As many of you know, hair dye tends to DYE the skin it touches. By the time the stylist was finished slopping the dye on (and I don’t use that term lightly), I had dye all over my forehead, ears, neck and face. Even worse, she didn’t offer to wipe it off of my face at ALL!!! I shit you not — she dabbed around my ears, scrubbed around the hairline, and didn’t even touch the dye that she smeared across my face that was visibly darkening! Even then she still didn’t wipe it off but tried to brush the side of the hair over it to cover it!
To add insult to injury, the entire botched job ended up costing me FAR more for JUST the cut and color /​highlights than what I have paid at previous high end salons. No product after that — why bother? I have gone to Dolce Salon, Mane Attraction Salon and various other Salons across the Valley over the years. Any ONE of them had far superior service, far superior staff, far superior environment, and far superior quality — PLUS I could get product to go with the new cut and style for less than what I paid to walk out of here for.
Long story short? I walked out looking Shemp from the 3 Stooges with a black eye thanks to the dye smeared across my face. I did manage to scrub the dye off at home. My boyfriend ended up trimming the back in places she had ‘missed’. Yeah. awesome. And while the stylist was nice and friendly, I will not be going back there. Buyer beware.

I love this place. I always have a wonderful experience here. Everyone is friendly and makes me feel at home.

I have been going to JJ at this salon for about a year since being on a search for a full service stylist (that I’m happy with) in the Phoenix area. JJ does a great cut, color and highlights and I receive multiple compliments from strangers regarding my color. The salon is run very efficiently-​the receptionist always addresses me by name upon arrival, lets my stylist know I’ve arrived and immediately offers me a drink. I observe the work of other stylists when I’m there and find that every person who leaves the chair looks polished and happy with their hair. They also offer nail and skin care services although I haven’t had personal experience with those, therefore can’t comment on them. I’d compare it to any high end salon in the Phoenix/​Scottsdale area. If you are looking for an excellent full service salon and you are within a 30 minute drive, this salon is worth checking out. They are right off I-​17 and easy to get to. You won’t be sorry.

Their staff is extremely professional, fun and talented! I have used them for numerous occasions on top of my normal routine and they always come through and make me feel beautiful! I love the lash extensions that Tina does, Kellie does amazing nails and Cindy Maxwell does my hair color and brazillian blowout. Love them all!

I’ve been searching for a stylist since my usual stylist left almost a year ago from Anthem. I called in and got scheduled in with Lisa the same day. Lisa is great — not only did she fix some nasty «oops» cutting issues with my trying to find a person to do my hair, but she also redid my highlights so they look amazing. She does an awesome job and my highlights don’t fade out to the straw-​color they were notorious for fading too. I have found my stylist!

Today was my second experience with this salon and it was probably the worst customer service I have experienced in a salon, ever. I am not even going to go into all of it, but the worst of it was that the receptionist had to shampoo me and blow-​dry my hair while the stylist fit in her friend. The stylist never even came to check how the color turned out. I left with damp, unstyled hair, needing toner and a cut (which I was scheduled for). I am just so surprised. I better find a new salon to fix this fast!
Hello, this is AZ, there are tons of awesome salons! Do yourself a favor and skip this place — they won’t care anyways.

Love Love Love this salon. Immediately when you walk into the door, you feel like you have known these people for a long time. They seem like all close friends. Good environment to relax and get your hair, makeup or nails done! (And don’t forget the skin care they do here too). I will never go to another salon to get my hair cut/​colored. They all do a fantastic job! I always walk out of there feeling like a million bucks but I’m not paying a fortune! Also, just recently, I had my entire wedding party get their makeup and hair done for my wedding there. We all got in to each stylist around the same time, so it was really quick. And my gosh, everyone looked amazing! And the makeup looks stunning. Not to mention the false eyelashes we all got. Very classy (super surprised too b/​c it was my first time with fake eyelashes on). I live in Phoenix but will make the trip up to Anthem just for the service and quality!
