I flew in from Columbus Ohio and wanted fresh curls for the weekend. I found Dream Curls via Yelp and easily booked my curly wash & style. If you have thick curly hair you know that it takes about 4 products, a special blow dryer, diffuser and microfiber towel to do your hair so say goodbye to only taking a carry on lol. Eden did a fantastic job! I love my curls! They are coiled, soft and bouncy. Your curls are safe here! The salon uses excellent products by deva curl, curl bliss and salon is of the ouidad (sp) technique which worked awesome on my curls. The location of the suite is in a cute little alcove so get there a few minutes early to locate. read more

Mimi is amazing! I love her vibe! She knows her stuff and I totally trust her with my hair. I tend to not take care of my hair as much as I could, but she encouraged me to come in more for trims so it would be healthier! No pressure. She's great! Highly, highly recommend!!! Already scheduled my appointment for April!! She also has a very convenient online scheduling interface on her website! My hair has never looked better!!! read more

Did you know that curly hair needs to be cut differently than straight hair? If you did, then you know more than I did until last week. That's when, tired of my unruly thick, waist-length hair, I jumped on Yelp and looked up the best stylist for curly hair. That's how I found Mimi. Ouidad certified (look it up), Mimi has curly hair herself, so she understands the hassle it can be to keep curls looking good. She also doesn't try to sell you product, though she does carry it if you don't want to make an extra trip to Ulta. Don't take my word for it, though. Let these before and after pics convince you. read more

I visited Mimi today for my first Ouidad style haircut. It was amazing. My hair has always been curly but over the past six years of cancer treatment, my curls disappeared and my hair looked ragged. I decided to finally do something about it and scheduled with Mimi. BEST THING I EVER DID! Mimi was so sweet and kind, she gave me exact instructions on how to best style my hair type and it's multiple textures. There were no 'upsales' involved like at so many salons, just an expert stylist and great advice. I am so thrilled with my haircut, how amazing my natural curls look with Mimi's expert cut and just a bit of the right gel. read more

I lived in Tucson for 2 years and absolutely fell in love with my Ouidad stylist down there. So much in fact, that for 3 years after moving back to Phoenix, I was trekking down to Tucson whenever I needed a haircut. After my normal stylist had no weekend availability for a few months, I considered taking a day off work to go to Tucson, and finally decided enough was enough and looked for a Ouidad stylist in Phoenix. I was super excited when I found Dream Curls I'm Old Town since it was so close to me. A 6 minute drive to get a haircut instead of 2 hours? Sold! I was still nervous because it's already hard to leave a trusted stylist and put your faith in a new one, especially when you have super curly hair. I'm so glad I gave this place a chance a year ago. Mimi is fantastic and what she does, and my curls look amazing. I also love that I can book appointments online. It makes it so much easier for me. If you have curly hair, look no further for a salon and book an appointment here immediately. read more

So glad I bit the bullet and got a Ouidad haircut! Mimi is welcoming and taught me how to take care of my curly hair properly. She transformed my dull puffy hair to defined healthy-looking ringlets! My hair feels so light and she got rid of the dreaded pyramid head. The moment she finished styling my hair, I was in complete shock and was overwhelmed happiness! Total game changer to my confidence that day. I'm motivated to achieve those same curls that she brought out on my own. read more

I went in today for a haircut because my curls were getting weighed down. The two ladies were very sweet and professional. The salon is nice and cozy. I've had issues getting the front of my hair to curl up but they were able to do it with no issue. It's very important as someone with curly hair to go to a stylist who has curly hair because they understand the struggle. I'll definitely be going back! read more

This was my first time going to Dream Curls Salon. I love my long curly hair so much that I was so nervous to trust someone new to cut it, but I am tired of the turn over at my current salon. Time for something new! Mimi is super nice and being one-on-one with her in the salon was great because we could talk and she taught me a lot of tips for better curl care. I have never heard of Ouidad before and now I want to know all about it. Her cut and color for me was great and the price was right on! I will definitely be returning in a few months. Highly recommend for curly hair (and others too). read more

It's about time I updated my review (because can someone really rely on an old review?). Mimi is still amazing! I've come to her several times and still only trust her with my hair. Every time I come in she remembers me, is warm, and so much fun to hang out with. When it's time for me to move, I'll likely find some way to get back to Arizona just to see her! Have you ever gone to a salon and felt a little self conscious or judged? Dreamcurls salon is a breath of fresh air from that. It is so nice to have your hair done by someone who doesn't make you feel like you're being judged and who makes an effort to get to know you as a person and your style. She provides a consultation for all of her clients before beginning her work and asks the right questions to make sure she understands what it is YOU want! I've always gone to Mimi for a Ouidad cut and balayage. Her eye for color is on point, and her ability to shape my wild, Polynesian hair in such a skillful manner is phenomenal. When I get my hair cut by Mimi, I find it is so much easier to get ready in the morning. I'm not fighting my curls and waves, and I'm not forcing my hair straight by burning it. Mimi is an artist. She is personable, fun, and so warm. She cares about her clients and wants to help her clients feel confident and at their best - to be quite honest, she succeeds! Thank you Mimi for always being so accommodating, thoughtful, and fun! I always look forward to seeing you! :) read more

I've never had a good curly cut my whole life and it took 50+ years to find Mimi. Awesome cut and style. She taught me new ways to use products to produce better curls and lasting curls. I'm on my third cut, it has lasted the longest I've ever had last. I'm normally go 4 to 5 weeks between cuts. I been going 9-10 weeks till my next cut and style. I hate to write a review since I want her all to myself. Mimi's such a treat to visit with on top of her hair knowledge. So happy to have found her. My daughter has curly hair and now goes to her and loves her new hair as well. Best of all... I have been receiving a lot of hair complements! read more

If you have curly hair, you need Mimi in your life!! I found Mimi on Yelp and made an appointment. The appointment process was easy and quick. She asked about my hair and we discussed what I was looking for. My appointment started on time. I would describe Mimi and professional, kind, and a definite curl expert. She gave me a consult and we discussed the goals I had for my hair. We were in agreement and she got to cutting. After the cut, she showed me a new way to dry my hair. And I thought I knew everything about my hair! I have a lot less frizz and great curl definition. I'm now able to use less products. I just had the cut yesterday and I've lost count of all of the hair compliments already. Make the appointment, you will be beyond pleased. read more

Searched for a place to get my curly hair cut and found Dream Curls Salon. I had not had my hair touched in over a year for fear of someone not knowing how to cut my curls. Mimi put those fears to bed and listened to exactly what I wanted and executed flawlessly. I could not be more happy with my hair. She took her time and cut each curl. She washed my hair first and styled it after. She made sure to explain exactly what she was doing when she styled it so I could replicate the look at home. She has tons of top quality Quidad products to purchase if you'd like, but was not pushy to get me to do so. She left that up to me. I will absolutely continue going to her every few months moving forward. read more

Mimi is very friendly and very willing to educate you about how to properly take care of your hair. She doesn't try to up-sell you on products, which is nice. She just wants to give you exactly what it is you're looking for. A gorgeous haircut! If you have curly hair... you need Mimi in your life! read more

Mimi knows her stuff, I love that!!! I explained I was tired of straightening my hair, that when I looked back in old photos, the straight, polished look I kept trying to re-create, really does nothing for me. I wanted my effortless waves/curls back. I wanted to look beachy again and get back my whispy, simple, look. And Mimi gave me exactly what I wanted! You can tell she is not playing around when it comes to her cutting and styling. Her technique is solid and the results are fantastic!! And she is so sweet!! Thank you Mimi!!!!!!! read more

Will be back soon to get my hair trimmed again! read more

I recently moved to Arizona and was in search of a stylist who is proficient at cutting curly hair, which requires special attention. I had tried another stylist first, and while she didn't do a bad job, it was never quite what I wanted. However, the Ouidad cut that I got from Mimi was much better than I expected! I've never seen my hair look so good: I honestly didn't know my hair was capable of looking like that. In addition to the great results, Mimi took the time to explain what she was doing when styling my hair and why, so that I could replicate it at home. I will absolutely be going back! read more
