Cynthia really cares about her customers, listens to what they want, and has great ideas if you want to try something new. I travel all the way from San Francisco to have her cut my hair because I trust her completely. I found her through a friend whose haricut I had admired for years. After my last haircut, I had two complete strangers come up to me and compliment me on my haricut. Wow - never had that happen to me before! Wonderful salon full of warm-hearted people.

Didn't realize I'd be getting hair cuts every 4 weeks, instead of a real 'hair style' cut every 6 weeks. Cynthia is an artist and brings out the best for you!

I have been going to Phoenix Rising Salon & Day for about 6-7 months and I am really pleased with my hair styling and how I have been treated. The atmosphere is also very inviting and warm.

My recent visit to Phoenix Rising melted my aprehension when it comes to trusting the gal standing behind me with the scissors and hair color! I've been cutting and coloring my own hair for years as a beauty school dropout and there are literally three people on this planet that I've trusted completely with my hair. Recently, I started taking thyroid medication and my hair juuust ain't what it used to be. Thinning and lackluster, either sticks to my head or frizzes out like a crazy cavewoman - this was getting to me to say the least... Sitting in Alicia's chair was literally like trusting someone I've known for 20 years. She listens patiently, tactfully explains why and how she'll successfully reach your goal and makes suggestions based on experience. At first I only wanted a cut but after she calmed my nerves about how color can work I agreed to evening out my natural color and getting a partial highlight. The last thing I wanted was to look like I was trying to be 16 again or look like a Calico cat. The end result was nothing short of amazing. Her expertise wtih color matching and blending is second to none. The entire staff is warm, atmosphere inviting and the salon is easily found. I've since recommended Alicia to a few friends and will continue to do so.

I desperately needed a cut and color and a friend recommended Alicia at Phoenix Rising Salon. I called on a Thursday and she stayed late to fit me into her schedule (on a Saturday, no less!!!). I've never had so many compliments on a haircut before. She did such a beautiful job on my color that I didn't get any comments about "dyeing" my hair. The whole staff is wonderful but Alicia is the best!!! I already made my next appointment.
