text: Salon Renew is in the heart of old town a tiny tiny person salon steps away from Shotgun Bettys and the rest of the barcentral area of Scottsdale Though tiny the salon is surprisingly cute and well put together small chandeliers from the ceiling area for coffee wine and beer and even snacks and a patio for waitingrestrooms and hanging out Not bad for a x roomsized salon nnI came here on a whim as a friend recommended it to me No yelp reviews no Google mentions no website To say that I was terrified is an understatement as I was getting my hair cut for a donation so off and I did not know any stylists in the area Rest assured that I am a hair stylists worst nightmare I only cut my hair once a year i am terrified of what they will do I need constant reassurance I bitch because it hurts when my hair gets pulled and I check up on progress every seconds or so Hair stylists hate me and with good reasonnnDespite all my horriblecustomer skills Samantha somehow managed to get me to trust her enjoy my haircut and not freakout I was cutting my hair SHORT for the first time since in years We discussed in great lengths no pun intended how the haircut would look and what I wanted she prepped my pony tail for the donation gave me a glass of wine the size of my head and then calmed me down while i looked at this giant pony tail now detached from my headnnMost importantly she gave me a haircut that fit my lifestyle low maintenance no products required no blowdryingcurlingironing or any of that crap Something that will last until the next haircut which will probably not happen for another year It seems somewhat silly to praise someone so much for just listening about your lifestyle demands and find something appropriate but you would be surprised how many stubborn and bigheaded stylist are out there and I seemed to have met all of themnnAnyways I know one review does not say much about a place but I took a huge risk by coming here with no reviews and now you can take a smaller risk by coming to a place with one review Its baby steps nonetheless but in the right direction Enjoy
