Hair salon in Anthem, AZ

Rated 4.8 out of 5 (47 on Google Maps) (opens in a new tab) Closed now

Desert Strands Hair Design is a hair salon in Anthem, Arizona. It is an Aveda exclusive salon, and the business states its mission as pairing expert hair care with genuine connection with clients. The salon is owned by Sue, who has worked as a hairstylist for more than 40 years and moved to Arizona from the Midwest. Four stylists work alongside her, each with their own specialties. Booking can be done by calling 623.440.4226 or through the online booking page, and texts can be sent to 623.257.7146. Color services booked online include a blowout. Blonding transformation, color correction, fashion color and extension services begin with a free consultation, and the extension consultation covers hair goals, color match and the extension method. For color, the salon asks for clean, dry hair washed within the last 24 hours, since heavy oils, dry shampoo and product buildup can affect results. Each appointment is for one guest, the salon does not double book, and a deposit may be required for select services. Listed prices are starting rates. They vary by stylist based on education and experience, may change, and can include an added charge when long or thick hair needs extra time or product. Cancellations need at least 48 hours' notice; shorter notice carries a $50 fee per hour booked, and guests who do not show up without notice are charged 80% of the total booked. Hours are Monday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays are by appointment, and the salon is closed on Sunday. Hours and availability vary by stylist.
