My barber of seven years moved back to Oregon, and after several failed attempts at other barbershops and salons around the valley, I found R05. Rafa has since been cutting my hair for about two years, and the results have been some of my best cuts ever. We have grown my hair out, cut it short, and everything in between. Each style has come out in a way that matches my personality and style, and I have gotten more compliments in the past two years of cuts than ever before. His price is on par with any other place I have been to, and he is relaxed as a person, so there isn't forced or awkward conversation. The salon itself is small, but welcoming, qnd they offer whiskey, wine, or water with ny cut every time I come in. Highly recommend Rafa and the other staff, as I have sent friends here that are now regulars. read more

My hairstylist Dane recently moved to Salon RO5 and it was my first time going earlier this month. The location is right in downtown phoenix and they have garage parking. The employees are very friendly and it's a great spot with coffee and other restaurants in the same plaza. If you're in need of a refresh, want to go blonde or more I suggest seeing Dane! read more

Giving a shout out to my girl Judy! I've been going here for the last year and thankful to have found Salon Ro5! A nice walk if you live on Roosevelt row or downtown. It's near great coffee, restaurants and more. The salon itself is clean and organized. I am thankful the service itself is amazing thanks to Judy and the staff always reminding me of appointments. I'm a simple girl so I usually just get a haircut, so if you're like me and don't need much, I highly recommend requesting Judy! read more

I started coming to this Salon when I lived in Downtown Phoenix. It is a convenient location right next to Lola's coffee. There is a free parking garage located behind the shop. Sergio is my go to hair dresser. I am always happy with the cut and layers he does for my thick hair which needs to be thinned out. They are very good about text reminders for appointments and reaching out if any time adjustments need to be made. The price is on the expensive side, $75 for a cut but it's worth it to me for an every 6 month touch up. If you live in the area I highly recommend. read more

Salon RO5 - $50 Bumble and bumble hair oil - Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

While I know this could make getting appointments more difficult for me, Kristen is the best! Let's just put it this way, I don't live in Arizona anymore and I still fly out to have her do my hair. Make an appointment - They get pretty busy, so book in advance if you can. Parking can be a little tricky - There are very few spaces near the salon, but there are a few spaces in the garage behind them as well as some nearby street parking. Balayage is the way to go - Don't like it when your hair coloring grows out? This is the way to go. I usually only get my hair colored twice per year. Free bang trim - This is a nice bonus for anyone who has bangs. Thanks Kristen for being so awesome! read more

Blonde babes rejoice and book an appointment with Ginger IMMEDIATELY!

Ive never received so many compliments on my hair color and I'm breaking necks when passed on the sidewalk. thank you for blessing me with your talents Ginger! you've got me as a client for life. read more

Salon RO5 - Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I hate to leave a negative review but this salon was not it unfortunately. I scheduled an appointment with someone (viewed their social media and confirmed they do my hair shade). When I arrived the woman at the front desk told me the stylist I had scheduled with had an emergency so they have someone else to do my hair. Not a huge deal but a phone call ahead of time to let me know would have been nice. My hair is a pretty specific shade so I want to make sure I work with a stylist who works with my color. A woman came from the back and she had a totally different name than what the girl at the front desk had stated. Okay so completely new person all together. I took my chances. We discussed hair color shades for probably 5-10minutes. She pulled out the sample book and we agreed on a color. This is when she asked if I wanted to add a blow dry. What? You're going to wash my hair and not dry it? No one told me that on the phone. It's crazy for a salon to charge $100+ for a service and not include a blow dry. Of course I wanted to add that because why would I walk out of the salon with wet hair. She showed me the price of everything- $135, which is way more than I usually pay for a root touch up. She starts the coloring process which is fine. Mid hair wash, my hair is looking pretty dark but I'm hopeful. The stylist walks away at some point and leaves me in the wash tub for a long time. Eventually a new girl comes up and says she will finish washing my hair because the other stylist is now doing a haircut. So the new girl rinses my hair and I go back to the station. My other stylist is still cutting someone's hair so I sit and wait and wait. Finally it's my turn again. When my hair dries, I can see the color is so extremely dark and exactly the shade I DID NOT WANT and told her I do not want. I've already been at the salon 3 hours now. Such a disappointment. She knows it's dark too and it trying to convince me otherwise. My blow out had no volume and made my roots look oily. I paid and tipped. Unfortunately my hair is an awful color and I will have to figure out how to fix it. I was just in town visiting and cannot return the salon. After 3 hours and $160+ I am so extremely disappointed. read more

Kristen cut and balayaged my hair for several years when I lived in Phoenix. I miss her hair magic so much since moving! Her attention to detail and thoughtful consideration when performing a service were so appreciated. She took into consideration my active lifestyle when doing a cut to make sure I would still be able to pull my hair back. She considered how much upkeep I wanted when discussing coloring services. Plus, I learned so much from her about how to best to take care of my hair and keep it healthy. I looked forward to our time together, not just because of how beautiful I would feel at the end of an appointment, but the genuine connection we built. I enjoyed catching up with her not as a way to fill silence, but because I just really liked chatting with her. I can't recommend Kristen enough! read more

Judy has been cutting my hair for a couple years now and does a wonderful job. I have been told my hair is really hard to cut because of cowlicks. Maria is a great colorist and does a beautiful and quick job! Together they make a great team! read more

Rafa was the man. Been a couple weeks but wanted to put in a review because It was definitely a good haircut,

I see Vlora and I'm so happy I found her. The stylist I was going to chopped my hair so short when I asked for a shoulder-length cut, she gave me a bob. Anyway, I had to take pictures for work (head shots) and needed my hair styled as it had rained earlier in the day and my hair frizzed up. I described what type of hair I had to the receptionist and how I wanted it to look. She set me up with Vlora. A fellow curly-haired woman, she understood my frustration with my naturally curly hair. I had always wanted it super straight and Vlora told me about the Brazilian Blowout. This hair process is life-changing. My hair feels so silky smooth and is straight but with movement. The staff there are all very nice. And I recommend the Dirty Chai at Lola, the cafe next door. read more

Outstanding Service, wonderful staff, excellent cleanliness easy access! Team work and a beautiful receptionist!

I see Vlora for my haircuts every few months and she is so sweet. She really listens to you and does a fantastic job of cutting hair. I get a very simple blunt cut with a few face framing layers and she always makes sure everything is perfectly even. She even takes the time to take some weight off my thick hair so my cut lays better. Vlora is the best! Book with her and you will not be disappointed. read more

Kristen is a goddess of the planet hair. I slide into her DMs about a year ago & I couldn't trust someone more to do my hair. She's funny and real which makes appointments so comfortable. The salon itself is amazing. They are kind and sweet when you walk in and you feel like you can belong here. Highly recommend this place. read more

I moved to Arizona 18 months ago, and I was worried about finding someone to do my hair. I have a lot of very thick hair, and not all hairdressers have done a good job with it. I was so thrilled to find Sergio at Salon RO5 on my first try. What a find! Sergio does a fantastic job every time. He is not only super talented, but he is kind and easy-going and fun to talk to. He is a very genuine person and a pleasure to be around. I love also how he listens to my requests as far as my hair and does exactly what I am asking for and also offers input when I ask for it. I totally trust his judgment and his abilities. He does an excellent job with balayage and with a cut. I really appreciate that. He never cuts more than what I am asking for. He is the best! read more

Found my new go to stylist after years of searching! Jo was so nice and friendly the first time it was like sitting down with an old friend. She listened to everything I wanted even though I didn't really know what that was quite yet, and pointed me in the right direction for my hair. Usually I'm a one and done with most stylist since I've never found one I liked, but now I can finally trust my hair with Jo at Ro5! read more

Kristen at Salon RO5 is AMAZING! I go in about every 10-12 weeks for balayage, and I feel gorgeous every time I leave the salon. After each visit, I've literally been stopped by multiple strangers who compliment me on my hair. My hair is healthy, glossy, and the color is incredible - and the balayage just lasts and lasts. I've had my hair done by multiple stylists over the last 16 years, and Kristen is by far the best. Even my husband says so, and his mom used to color my hair. Book with Kristen; you will LOVE your hair after you see her, guaranteed! read more

Salon RO5 - Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Before RO5 I was going to a prestigious salon in Scottsdale, paying inflated prices for an average haircut at best. I moved to Downtown Phoenix and found Sergio at RO5. Sergio is very talented and has pride in his craft. The salon staff is very friendly and accommodating to my changing schedule. If anyone is looking for a hair stylist, Sergio is amazing. read more

I've been seeing Maria for the better part of a year now, and I love her! She is always so friendly, works with you on what you want, and has never disappoint! The receptionist is also always friendly (there are at least 2!) and the salon is clean and well kept. Definite recommend! read more

I hate writing negative reviews, especially when the stylist was so kind. But unfortunately there were a couple of things that should not have happened. She spent over 30 minutes discussing the color application and therefore didn't have time to blow dry. The way she asked me about what to do was so confusing - I have never had a stylist take this approach before and it definitely made me confused about if she knew what she was doing. When my color was processing she came back and there was this terrible smell of smoke, I'm not sure if it was the process or if someone was smoking tobacco. And finally, the actual look at the end was nothing like the photo I had sent of my own hair 4 years ago. It was super frustrating and expensive. Unfortunately, to me, it was a mediocre job. I wouldn't want to go back. read more

I had Keith, who absolutely ruined my hair. I asked for a Balayage, and provided an inspo picture (fully aware that the end product won't look exactly like what can be done on my hair). There was no blend between the shitty bleach job and my regular hair color, just a straight line. Keith told me that he's been doing balayage for 8 years so I trusted him to actually know what a balayage is. I asked him to touch up my roots (gray coverage) and he dyed it a lighter color than my hair, making the color transition look terrible- lighter roots, dark middle, yellow ends. I paid 180 dollars for this service, and then had to pay an additional 200 to another stylist just to fix these mistakes. Pictures speak for themselves, find another stylist. read more

Great place to get a haircut! I highly recommend Kristen. Plus you are supporting a local business.

I just moved to Phoenix from Austin. With COVID I had not been to a salon in over a year and I was way overdue! I really hate trying to find a new salon and especially a new stylist but I lucked out on my very first try by selecting RO5 and getting an appointment with Sergio. I went in only knowing I wanted a cut and color but did not have anything definite in mind. Sergio was great in helping me determine a color that would suit me. He has a great personality and I enjoyed visiting with him as he worked. After coloring he trimmed, shaped and styled it. The salon and Sergio now have a repeat customer! If you are looking for a new salon I would definitely recommend coming here - and ask for Sergio! read more

Been going to Noah for several years now... he is a great stylist with a great salon and fabulous staff.

Have been coming here for years, love the atmosphere. Sergio is great, he listens and consistently provides great quality services! It's hard to find stylists you trust. Great location downtown next to Lola grab some coffee then head in for your salon appointment. Highly recommend! read more

I finally found my person to do my hair! Sergio is absolutely amazing!! He takes his time, the convos are great and you will leave with beautiful hair!! read more

I loved this Salon! Love Ana, love Cullen, nice friendly people who treat you like you are a star. Honestly I walked in my hair looked like Madusa! I walked out with a great blow out, Ana even debulked it because it was all over the place. My style lasted for a week, and everyone complimented me on how good my hair looked! I love Cullen, so funny and sweet. I would move to Phoenix now just because I found a good hair stylist...Viva Ana and Ro5! read more

My hair needed some MAJOR TLC. I went to Salon RO5 for the first time and wow the atmosphere was so welcoming, I already loved it. I was looking for something subtle but still a change and Eric blew me away!! He really listens to what you want and gives amazing input and suggestions on what I was looking for. I had picked in between two ideas and he helped me narrow it down. He's professional and definitely has a knack for this! After this experience I can trust Eric will take cafe of me with the best of skill. I truly recommend him to anyone!! read more

Hands down, Noah is the BEST HAIRSTYLIST in Phoenix! He really listens to you and gives his best to gift you with a haircut and hair color you'll absolutely love! The staff are also super awesome. Everyone greets you with a warm smile and you get treated to a glass of wine as you wait. The best thing about Noah is that he always puts his clients first. I was having a really bad day one time and was a little peeved that my appointment time was rescheduled earlier than I realized.. Noah immediately addressed my concern, got me another glass of wine and gave me a toner for my colored hair free of charge to make up for the miscommunication. Noah really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to make sure you love your experience at Salon Ro5. He is a magician at making people look more glamorous! My husband loves how pretty I always look after a visit to Noah. We consider ourselves blessed to have Noah as both of our stylist! ^_^ read more

I have been coming to Salon RO5 for years and always walk out with a cut I love! I came in today for my first cut in over 18 months and Sergio was so friendly and knew exactly what I wanted without even having to show him a picture. He brought my natural curls back to life and gave my hair the shape and bounce I've been missing! Everyone in the salon wore masks throughout and I had my temperature checked when I first came in. read more

So happy to have taken a chance on Salon RO5 a year ago! I moved to Phoenix for a new job and well, finding a new stylist is about as bad as finding a new gynecologist. I researched salons for weeks and called a few places, ultimately going to another salon to see a colorist/stylist who came highly recommended - bad idea! I came across RO5 before going there and should have gone with my gut reaction. I didn't go here first though because the other salon (shall remain nameless) was much closer to me. I had a bad color and ended up going through a few consultations at various salons around the metro area to find someone to correct the issues. I was nervous to let anyone else touch my locks... I spoke with Noah on the phone before coming in for a consultation - I had a great feeling about him! I toon a leap and after spending only 5 min in his chair ... I fell in love with Noah ... shhhh... Don't tell his mister ;-)! Noah is thorough, pays attention to you, and discusses your wants/needs. The best part - he tells you when he thinks you might be going in the wrong direction and doesn't give you false hopes that you will look like the celebrity photo you brought with you. He listens to what you like about the look from the image and translates that to you. It may take a couple of times before the color you achieve is flawless. My hair doesn't behave/ adhere to the traditional color science that stylists are taught in school. My hair is the healthiest and fullest it has ever been. If you want someone who is client oriented, focuses on you during your appointment, and wants you to be happy before getting out of the chair - Noah should be your new stylist. Now ... I don't want this review to get all of you in his chair! I still need my appointment time too! :-) read more

Salon RO5 - Come in and stay awhile ... - Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Super cute salon located on Roosevelt Row. Fabulous waiting area (with current magazines you want to steal) filled with the nicest people. The owner is super sweet, greeting everyone that enters. This is a Bumble & Bumble salon so your hair will be spoiled. If you read no further, ask for Tamara. T-A-M-A-R-A. Got it? The stylists are friendly and should you feel interest in trying different peeps, no one will be annoyed. I just love Tamara :) Initially scheduled to come in to model my hair (where they cut, dye, highlight your hair) we changed my appointment. I was concerned that my overly processed hair might have breakage post highlights. Tamara was wonderful in listening to my concerns and suggested coming in for a strand test. Sold by her communication skills I booked a haircut. (If the strand test worked I could be added to the potential model list. Didn't matter. I needed to meet this woman.) Once in the salon Tamara asked what my hair goals were. She combed and fluffed my hair while prodding me along. I have long hair and was in the middle of a slump. Except of course I didn't say that immediately. While having my hair lovingly washed I confessed my inner thoughts. Instead of being frustrated by my indecision Tamara helped me decide on a new style. Side bangs it was with layers thrown in! Prior to cutting my hair Tamara set up my strand test using hair at the back of my crown. When all the magic was said and done with my haircut we reviewed the strand. Good news is I'm not going bald with future treatments. (And I like the color my hair resolved to!) Tip! If parking out front isn't available, head around back. I've been told there's a shared lot. The best news is finding Salon Ro5. I whole heartedly recommend this place. read more

I've always considered myself to be a natural beauty, but after my haircut with Tamara I was shocked to see how much of me the world had been missing out on :) In truth, this is one of the few times I have felt at home in a professional environment. Salon RO5 treats every client like they deserve the luxurious treatment they are receiving. Noah was free to offer some much-needed advice, Rebecca (I believe that is her name?) was very friendly as soon as I walked in the door, and it is readily apparent when I look in the mirror that Tamara is a remarkably gifted stylist :) This place truly is as good as it gets, it was the bright spot of my day. Highly recommend. read more

Salon RO5 - Bangs !! Love them - Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love this salon. I love the stylist, the great vibes and how they always look out for their community. I've been going to this salon for several years and am always leaving my stylist chair feeling like a million bucks! The owners are wonderful. They're always looking out for their clients. From charity events to client appreciation - they give back! When this whole yuck of COVID happened - they made the hard decision to close the salon to help flatten the curve before it was mandated - that is such a hard decision but they looked out at the best interest of their staff & customers. Now that they've re-opened I whole heartedly appreciate the stance they took to keep their staff and clients safe. Wearing a face mask for my safety...I'm down for that. Anyone who puts a bad review because they felt their life is more important then the entire community can go lick every door knob in the valley! Can't stand when people use yelp for baseless claims just in attempts to ruin a business owner reputation. Hats off to you Salon RO5 for taking this stance and cancelling on those a-holes who feel entitled and only care for themselves. read more

Keith is awesome! He's a natural and he did a great job with my hair! Everyone at the salon was very welcoming and cool. I'm glad I found it! read more

Was a bit apprehensive to trust my hair to a new stylist, let alone a completely new salon, however I was greatly impressed. Typically I am uncomfortable and new salons especially the more "bougie" type-yet the kindness and warmth started in the garage where I happened to run into one the stylists on break who kindly helped me locate the front door of the salon. I was then greeted by an incredibly welcoming receptionist and ended up having a very pleasant experience with my new colorist overall. I am pleased Ruth the results and will definitely be returning. I came here because most of the reviews on here are positive, and I can attest that my experience was equally as impressive. read more

The salon has a great price point especially for the area, very talented stylists and great front desk girls. Jessica and Stephanie! I love the Bumble and Bumble products. If you are looking for a new stylist for color or cut, I highly recommend Jo or Noah. It's always a treat being in the salon. Also! Big bonus points for how clean and safe the salon is during this time. Great Job Salon RO5 team! read more

I went to this salon based on yelp reviews alone, I was terrified but it was great. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Alex cut my hair and we discussed what I wanted and he pulled it off amazingly. My favourite part was the massage I got when he was washing my hair, he massaged my head and neck and I felt so relaxed!! It was awesome:). Parking- you can park in the back, there are spots and a huge parking garage which is awesome. They also have free wifi and cold water. They use all bumble and bumble products which is great too. My cut was 50 dollars, which is a bit more than I had wanted to pay and I have easy hair, but I do love the results! Thanks yelp for the recommendation! read more

Finally got a haircut after over a year! My appointment was with Sergio and he was awesome! My hair hasn't looked this good in a long time! He cut off all the dead hair I had and now my hair looks so healthy I can't stop running my fingers through my hair. He also styled my hair and I felt so pretty. Thank you Sergio!! read more
