Hair Salons in Apache Junction

At Fancy That Salon, stylists treat hair to services that range from cutting to creative color. A consultation precedes each haircut, which can be amplified with additions of Moroccanoil and Keratin Complex products to smooth wayward strands. A rainbow of coloring options are available for those looking to change their hues: all-over treatments provide dramatic makeovers, and highlights and balayage grant clients a sun-kissed look without requiring them to take an interstellar trip.

At the mother-daughter-owned Primp and Blow: A Blowdry Bar, stylists focus on a single goal: speedily making over customers’ hair and makeup in an upscale, scissor-free salon setting. Stylists focus their services around blowouts, mastering the art of transforming wet strands into pin-straight 'dos, big curls, or the flirtatious “Scottsdale ponytail.” Products from Bumble and Bumble or Moroccanoil seal in styles, which can last for days or until clients attempt to brush their hair with a cotton-candy spinner. Cosmetologists wield equally effective serums from brands such as Rain and La Bella Donna—two lines of organic mineral makeup.

Rather than getting hair styled only alongside a clip or before a fancy occasion, these fashion-forward stylists reason that everyday events call for a polished look, be it a meeting, big date, or highly publicized nap. Primp and Blow has grabbed local buzz from publications such as AZFoothills.com—for which a writer declared, “I tried Primp and Blow for the first time on New Years Eve and was amazed with my look. In with a baseball cap and oversized shades and out looking, and feeling, red carpet ready.” The overwhelming positive reviews helped the owners to open a second location. Both salons reflect the glamorous, everyday kind of luxury the team hopes to deliver, enhancing customer experiences with digital magazines on iPads and the glow of chandeliers.

Shades of aqua float among chandeliers, paintings, and mirrors full of smiling reflections at Michelle's Beautique and Salon. In the midst of the artful decor and tranquil color scheme, Michelle's hair, nail, and skin technicians each perform their specialties to accentuate clients' natural beauty. Results turn indelible during permanent-makeup services, in which a professional artist enhances features while helping clients shorten morning their routines and keep their composure during underwater dates.

The staff at A Salon On 51st Ave. are experts in all methods of pampering, but one thing really sets them apart. Owner Lori Karl and stylist Marlin Zimmerman specialize in hair replacement and corral 20 years of experience in the field to custom-sculpt natural-looking solutions for both men and women. Their expertise also spills over into hair extensions, which are great for those looking for a little added length, volume, or color, or for those who want to appear taller when upside down.

When they’re not busy adding hair, subtracting it during custom cuts, or sweeping it into special-occasion updos, the beauticians and spa technicians coddle fingers and toes with warm soaks, massages, and skin-softening masks, and pare down wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots during extensive facials. An onsite massage therapist also stands by to replenish energy reserves, and tanning booths welcome bodies seeking the type of bronze glow normally bestowed after a day at the beach or an evening spent slow dancing with Icarus.

Julian Luna and Jim Le opened J Salon in 2006, and have since built up a team of experienced stylists with specialties ranging from Japanese thermal straightening to full-on makeovers. With products from Bumble and bumble and Moroccanoil in tow, they revamp looks with highlights, cuts, and full colors or touchups. Their expertise led the staff to enter a “hair wars” competition, a runway show designed to display the creativity of Phoenix area hair stylists. Along with hair care, J Salon helps clients get rid of the hair they don’t want with lip and eyebrow waxing services.

When Denise Forte Ghiglia left a corporate career to own her own business and pursue a love for fashion, she knew just who to enlist to help women look beautiful and fashion forward. Ghiglia’s daughter Nicolle Levrett’s artistic gifts in hairstyling were the missing piece to the puzzle. Together, the mother-and-daughter duo own Moda Forte Boutique & Salon, a fashion-forward haven for clients looking for a complete look. In the boutique they sell clothing from such labels as Free People, Sugar Daddy, French Connection, and Black Orchid and compliment outfits with accessories made by local designers. Inside the salon, a team of stylists cut and color hair, draw attention to the eyes with eyelash extensions, and create sturdy climbing equipment for princes by adding hair extensions.
