Sideswept French braid pulled into a messy bun by Nicole
Kat R.

I made an appointment with Vanity Blowout Bar on Friday afternoon for an appointment the following Saturday. The Yelp reviews were very positive and consistent -- unlike many other blowout bars in areas -- and so I was hopeful Vanity could be a great alternative to Drybar at the Scottsdale Quarters. Drybar won my heart 2 years ago and since then I've seen countless blowout salons pop up around the Valley. None of those salons grabbed my attention -- some even seemed downright tacky -- and so I was super stressed when Drybar was (of course) booked solid on Saturday. I really needed someone to do a quick undo for a wedding that evening and my main stylist (Ling at Jo Paris) was out of town. Ugh. Shame on me for scheduling last minute, right? Hey, I thought I could learn to French braid off YouTube -- obviously not. Vanity Blowout Bar is about to give Drybar a run for the money! This place has everything Drybar lacks and I can't wait to go back. If you've given up on finding a good blowout bar in Scottsdale -- look no further! Vanity will save you. Vanity is truly a 45 minute escape (or longer because they offer a range of services). The owner, Stacy, greeting me warmly as I walked in a few minutes before my 1PM appointment for an updo. Here's the rundown: - warm and inviting: salon features pale rose paint, beautiful tile, and a serene atmosphere. It's very, very spa-like. - Stacy actually works at the salon! I love when the owner is there to greet and help clients. It makes me feel reassured. - I was offered a range of beverages: coffee, tea, soda, etc. They also had yummy cookies out front (not that I should be eating cookies but hey...) - It was so, so quiet. And peaceful - Booking was easy (confirmation email, reminder email, and optional text reminder) - They offer makeup and nail services - No charge for use of hot styling tools - No upsell on products or services - All stylists are licensed (not always the case at establishments that charge extra for curling and flat irons...) - EASY parking - Affordable - FANTASTIC styling My stylist Nicole did an absolute perfect (and I mean perfect) job on my hair. She was friendly, skilled, quick, and kind. I showed her a few pictures and it took her 25 minutes to replicate the look (a side swept French braid pulled into a messy bun). I was glowing when I walked out the door. The owner Stacy was also super honest. I booked a full updo for $65 because I didn't want to assume the look I wanted was "easy." I don't know what it takes to do these things. When I was finished, Stacy said she would only charge me for the casual undo at $35. I didn't even have to ask or mention it!!! That is true customer service. Will certainly return. In fact, I cannot WAIT to find an excuse to go back. Thank you Stacy and Nicole!!

Let me start by saying my girl was extremely nice! The customer service, was really good. However... My hair style was good, just not that great. It took her about 15 minutes to curl and style my hair. I also asked for makeup. It was good, and I could tell the girl knew what she was doing and once again super nice, but I guess I was expecting something a bit more dramatic. My friend was a bit more disappointed. I could tell the girl servicing her was a little newer and not as experienced (but yes, super sweet.) It took her awhile with the hair and she was a bit inexperienced with makeup. My friend is a performer and expects a very professional application of makeup. The girl did not know how to do lashes and completely skipped contouring although my friend mentioned it a few times. Didn't even say anything about it. Like I said the girls were extremely nice but unfortunately I feel like the over $100 for the style, makeup and lashes just wasn't worth it.

Held my 4-year-old daughter's birthday party here (the Anastasia party!). What a great time for everyone. Staff was professional and the little girls loved being treated like princesses at a "big girl" salon. All birthday guests had their hair washed and styled, and many had their nails painted. Special treat: we had Ariel come to complete the birthday/Under the Sea/princess experience. The salon set up is welcoming and open, and conducive to conversation. They provided us a table where we were able to set up brunch foods/mimosas/sparkling cider and birthday cake. They'll even put a movie on for you so the kiddos can watch their favorite film while they get pampered.

Owner's response to my review.

For the last several weeks, this blow out bar has taken a nose dive. I have been a regular customer here for a long time, often coming in twice per week. I love my stylist and the atmosphere was relaxing and professional. Apparently, the salon was sold recently and the change is quite obvious. The new owners are not welcoming and it feels very uncomfortable there. It is no longer relaxing there which is one of the main reasons I chose the salon to begin with. There were a few unprofessional incidents there over the past week which made me quite uncomfortable as a paying customer. I witnessed the receptionist being fired right at the front of the salon, in front of the entire salon full of clients. I'm a business owner and my patients would never see that happening. There is a back break room where the owners could have terminated her employment. I did not need to sit in front of the screaming match that ensued at the front. The atmosphere is not as fun as it used to be. It feels like I'm walking into a funeral. Integrity seems to be lacking. I will no longer be a patron here. People deserve to be treated with respect. 6/7/19 update. I received a message from the new owner today (however they failed to change the user name from the old owner's information. So while it states it came from Stacy B, it did not. It is from one of the new owners who I believe are named Hana and naji ....they sent a private message rather than a public response. See their response below). I am appalled by the response I received. While it may seem nice that I was offered a free service and told I am a "value customer," telling me that what I saw didn't happen totally negates my experience and is not the way you should treat valued customers. The response basically calls me a liar. I did, in fact, witness a shouting match at the front desk between the owners and former receptionist. I did, in fact, witness Amanda being fired. I am a business owner myself and I know what customer service should be. And I am a highly educated individual who I well aware of what yelling sounds like and I was not the only client in the salon at the time who heard and witnessed this interaction. Perhaps I'm just the only one who was disgusted enough to write a review to let others know about the change in the establishment. Also, patrons beware...make sure that you see your stylist's license displayed.

The location is incredibly convenient since it's right on the resort grounds, making it easy if you're staying at the hotel. They were very busy, which isn't surprising for a holiday weekend, but my stylist still did a nice job with my fine hair. My blowout lasted well throughout the evening, and I was happy with the final result. The only thing that surprised me was that I had mentioned I was getting my hair done for my birthday dinner, but there wasn't any acknowledgment of the occasion. It certainly wasn't expected, but it would have been a thoughtful touch, especially at a luxury resort salon. Overall, it's a good option if you're staying at The Phoenician and want the convenience of an on-property salon. The service and styling were solid, but it didn't leave enough of an impression for me to book a second appointment during the rest of my stay.

I specifically requested and paid for extra services who in my opinion were not worth the $15 up charge after everything was said and done! I will not be returning even though I had used their services many times before and felt it was a great business model for an individual looking for a quick wash and blow dry! It's always comes down to one thing that either breaks or makes a business " Customer Service" when that's gone so do the clients!

She spent a lot of time during the consultation and really listened to what I wanted. I'd had very long hair for over 10 years, and she suggested going to a medium length. It was a big change, but I felt like I could trust her, and I'm so happy I did. She also recommended partial highlights instead of a full balayage, and I'm so glad she did. It gave me the look I wanted, took less time, and turned out beautiful. (Before & after photos attached!) The salon itself is modern, upscale, and in a great spot at Kierland Commons. Overall, such a great experience, and already booked my next appointment

DO NOT GO HERE. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID…read more I don't normally leave reviews but I felt like I had to for this one. I came in to get highlights in my hair, expecting one of the professionals to help me out. After I get there, some random dude comes out who barely speaks English. Barely asks me questions about what I want, and barely talks about what he is going to do starts to do the cap thing on my head. He was extremely rough using the tool, stabbing my head very hard. After he finishes he finishes dying my hair, charges me $300 then when I ask how to maintain it he responds "I trust you will make the right decisions"... like no I know nothing about this, this was my first time. Then a couple hours later, when it drys, I look at it and it looks TERRIBLE. The sides of my head looked like I had cheetah print and the top was VERY orange. After I realize. I go back in a couple days later. After having to take time off of work because of how bad it looked and how anxious it made me. They agreed that it looked terrible and they told me that they would fix it free of charge.... They schedule me for the next day and I come in, then as they start they say "btw we are going to charge you $150 for this". They said this AFTER they started and told me they'd fix it for free. Then I asked why it wasn't free anymore and they ignored the question and walked away. When I went to the register they gave me a product to buy and told me I had to pay and when I asked why it wasn't free anymore again, they said because a different person fixed it. Which made no sense because they scheduled me with her and said it would be free to fix. Again, normally I don't leave reviews. Look at my profile for proof. This was such an incredibly terrible experience, save your money and your mental health and go somewhere else.

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!…read more Y'all, if you're looking for an amazing stylist, look no further. I'm someone who has done a lot to my hair over the years. I previously owned a modeling agency, and we were constantly changing hair styles and working with some of the best stylists in the world. After moving to the Sedona area, I had three disappointing experiences in a row--honestly, some of the worst hair I've ever had. I finally decided to make the trip to Scottsdale, where I knew I could find someone who truly cared about their craft. After doing some research, I chose this salon and booked with Lisa. In just one appointment, she completely understood what I wanted and delivered it flawlessly. With over 20 years of experience, she made what seemed impossible look effortless. She not only got me back to where I wanted to be--she exceeded my expectations. What I appreciated most was that she listened. Really listened. Then she combined that understanding with incredible skill and precision. On top of that, she's an absolute delight to spend time with. If you've been struggling to find a stylist you trust, I know how stressful that can be. Great hair makes such a difference, and we all deserve exceptional service and results. Run, don't walk, and book with Lisa. You'll be so glad you did! xoxo

Think twice before you go to this place! I honestly have…read morenever had an experience like this with a haircut, and I'm still incredibly frustrated and upset about it. I showed exactly what I wanted simple face framing and long layers but my hair was cut so unevenly that the layers didn't blend at all. There were random short pieces, completely different lengths, and the back was uneven and had no shape. It genuinely looked like a 5 year old had cut my hair, not a certified professional. Almost everyone who has seen my hair since has asked me the same thing: how could this possibly happen at a professional salon? Yes, I received a full refund, and I appreciate that. But I then had to go somewhere else to try to fix the damage. The second stylist had to take off even more hair, so I lost both the length AND the density of my hair just to make it look somewhat normal again. And even now, there is only so much that can be fixed. I have to wait for it to grow out. What frustrated me even more was how the situation was handled afterward. I asked the manager for their number because I genuinely wanted someone to explain to me HOW this happened. She never responded. I got my money back, but I felt absolutely no real empathy or understanding of what I was dealing with just scripted comments like I would be sad like you too and "Everybody loves this hairstylist. That completely misses the point. This is MY hair. I can't undo what was done. Giving me my money back doesn't give me back the length and density I lost or change how awful I feel every time I look at my hair. I wasn't looking for drama or anything extra from them. I just wanted someone to actually acknowledge how badly this went, take it seriously, and explain how something like this could happen with a professional stylist. I never got that.
