Salon Amore

I had one of the best salon experiences at Salon Amore with Jill. It sucks, but my hair is damaged… really damaged from heat, dying, etc. My hair stylist didn’t just blindly do what I wanted. She offered me what I needed considering my damage. And I love the results. She did what a TRUE sales person is supposed to do! She could have done what I originally wanted because it would have been a bigger profit, but she took the time to explain my options and what would be best for the health of my hair, while still getting me a step closer to what I want in the long run.
Also, Jill called me the day before to talk about what we were doing with my hair. No stylist has EVER done that for me before! It spoke loudly about the kind of service I was going to receive before I even walked in the door!
I ended up also leaving with a Moroccan hydrating hair mask for my hair too because of all the things we talked about as far as my hair damage.
The atmosphere was great, I felt well serviced and taken care of by my stylist Jill and the front desk girl! Highly recommend Jill.

I have been shopping around for a new stylist and salon to frequent, so I googled salons close to me and chose this one based on the great reviews. I can’t remember the name of my stylist, but when we began discussing what I’d like done with my hair, I mentioned a particular cut that I wanted. She responded by saying that would take too much time. I don’t know what else I’d be paying her for, but her time. So I said, okay, let’s go with another cut. Then I told her that I still need some extra texturizing and thinning at the ends because, even though I have thin hair, I have a lot of hair. My cuts always come out flat on top and then all of the bulk down at the ends. My cut came out exactly as I had told her I didn’t want, so she didn’t seem to really care because I’m sure she has enough experience to know what she is doing. Also, when she was cutting sections of my hair, she kept flipping it so the ends would smack me right in the eye. The first time I laughed it off, but when it happened a couple more times I was pretty upset. Throughout the cut, she didn’t speak much. That actually doesn’t bother me at all, but when I did ask her questions and for her advice she seemed put off. Overall I got the impression that she just wanted to get me out of there. I’m not sure what her hurry was. She mentioned her next appointment wasn’t until much later. I wasn’t a difficult customer… I showed up on time and was pleasant. When they asked me if I liked my cut, I said yes because I just really wanted to get out of there. I gave the salon two stars because even though my experience with the particular stylist was bad, the rest of the staff was very nice and friendly. I, however, will continue shopping for a new stylist at a new salon because this experience was enough to put me off of the idea of going back.

My first time here today. Julie was great! She listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions. She was genuine and the chatter wasn’t forced. What a cute place!
I loved that it was also. Reasonable price. Sometimes women’s cuts can be so spendy. $ 40 was just right! I’ll be back!

My experiences so far with this salon have been absolutely fantastic. I had tried to do some at home highlighting and it just did not go as I wanted. I called in and they booked me with Chantel, who could not be a better hairstylist! I didn’t know what to do with my hair «disaster» and she immediately knew what to do to fix it. She has never tried to force me into doing anything with my hair I didn’t want to (I’ve had stylists who go against my wishes of long layers because they think it’ll look good… not okay). Everyone in the salon is very personable, it’s clean and the prices are definitely great considering how much it can cost nowadays to get your hair done. I won’t go anywhere else!

I’ve been wanting to check this salon out & I’m so happy I did. First off, it’s so cute. I’ve had my highlights done & my hair cut twice now with Chantel and she is Awesome with a capital A! She’s super friendly and she gets my blonde color just how I want it, not too bright and not burnt orange (like I’ve experienced with other stylists before). I won’t be going to anyone else from now on!

Just had my haircut by Marni at Salon Amore – hooray, I’ve finally found my hairdresser! Marni did a wonderful job adding texture and «de-​bulking» my thick, coarse, and curly hair. She managed to add shape but keep the length (skills!). I’ve paid far more for far less (this cut was $ 40) – Great experience all the way around!

I’ve always wanted to try this cute little salon located in the history Gilbert area. So I made an appointment for a haircut with Tiffany. The process was simple. I texted her, and she responded right away. However, my actual experience was a big disappointment. When I walked into the salon, nobody was at the front desk to greet me. I took a seat in the waiting area, assuming that since I was a little early, Tiffany wasn’t quite ready for me yet. No big deal. 10 minutes late into my appointment, someone finally noticed I was waiting and asked who I was going to see. I told her I had an appointment with Tiffany, and she went to the back (presumably to let Tiffany know I was there). No further acknowledgement. I waited until 20 minutes past my appointment time, decided the situation was ridiculous, and left. 35 minutes after the time my appointment should have been, I received a text message from Tiffany saying that she was finishing up with a client when I had left, and «did something come up? Do you need you reschedule?» No apology for running late or for not acknowledging me while I was waiting. I chose not to respond to her text because if she can’t be considerate with other people’s time, then I see no reason to respond. I get that appointments run long, but it would have been nice for her to come out (or even to have someone else) to tell me sorry for the wait, she’ll be right with me, etc. And then to text without an apology was somewhat rude. Needless to say, I will not be rescheduling or coming back.

I work in the spa industry so I am no stranger to getting skin treatments. I have been getting them pretty regularly since my early 20’s to keep very severe acne at bay. I visited Cynthia, the aesthetician at Salon Amore last week and I am not kidding when I say it was probably one of the best facials I’ve ever had.
Salon Amore is a small but chic salon tucked into historic downtown Gilbert. It’s got a sweet, romantic vibe to it and is walking distance to some great shops and restaurants. I have not had my hair done there, but it is always busy on that side of the salon which I would say is a good sign!
After a consultation to learn about my skin and health history, I went back into the adorable facial room. The bed was comfortable, and the room itself was nicely decorated and left me feeling very relaxed.
The treatment itself was amazing– not only did she give me a really thorough cleansing and exfoliation, the extractions she performed were practically painless. That’s hard to come by! She definitely doesn’t skimp on the massage, either– my face, neck, hands arms and feet got the royal treatment.
Now I am about a week later and I had no post facial breakout which I sometimes get. My skin is absolutely glowing. Cynthia recommended a few products to change up my routine a little to get me out of a skin care «rut» I have found myself in, and her advice has worked wonders. She is extremely knowledgeable and it shows not only in her treatments, but in her product suggestions and professionalism.
I live in Scottsdale, but will happily drive to Gilbert for treatments with Cynthia. I am already looking forward to my next one!

I have been going to Salon Amore for about a year and a half now after being recommended to Patti Phelan. I absolutely love her! She takes the time each and every time I go and she is a perfectionist! Last year after my bilateral mastectomy she even offered to come to my house to wash and style my hair since I could not raise my arms. I always get compliments on both my color and cut after I see her! She is truly one of a kind.
Everyone in the Salon is always great when I go. It is a warm friendly environment in a lovely historical building and I highly recommend Patti and the salon to everyone!

I found Salon Amore and I couldn’t be happier. I was feeling pretty bad about my hair. I called Salon Amore and booked an appointment with Jennifer, I feel so much better. Yahoo! The inside of the Salon is really nice, with rich colors, fun details. Totally made my day!

My hair was a total disaster– dry, over processed and was about 15 different colors of blonde highlights– not a good look. I am 35 weeks pregnant and wanted to look normal when I delivered and had family pictures, so I really wanted the hair problem fixed… I had an appointment with Kendra at Salon Amore in downtown Gilbert and she was AMAZING! I was really worried about the color correction and if my scalp would burn, etc. She has a completely organic line of hair coloring that turned out perfect! My hair is dark and looks absolutely amazing! The organic color didnt bother my scalp or even smell bad! She also cut my hair to frame my face a bit more and get rid of the nastiness on the ends– my hair is so soft and shiny! I am really not big on doing reviews, but I just had to share how great Kendra is! She also participates in the new client special– so I also got my haircut for free (which included an amazing scalp and neck massage… seriously…). I had a great experience with Kendra– I was very worried going into the appointment and I couldn’t be happier! I will recommend her to everyone that I know!

I was in between Salons when I found this place. It is a very cute salon located right in the heart of downtown Gilbert. I was a little nervous at first because I have been bleaching my hair for years and I have had some really bad experiences, so finding a new person that I can trust is hard. When I went in for my first appointment I met with Marin and I told her what I was looking for and she nailed it. I wanted to add another color to my hair to break up the blonde and Marin new just what to do. She picked the perfect color and placement for my low lights/​peak-​a– boos. Overall I am very happy with Marni and this Salon. I will definitely be going back.

I love this salon! It is very well decorated and each stylist has such a cute station. The location has tons of parking and is easy to find. The receptionists are always super friendly, and always have smiles when I go in! The prices are good, as well!
I always go to Debbie for my haircuts. She is wonderful! I have done long hair with her, to VERY short, and am now going long again. She is very versatile with whatever cut I want and she keeps up with the latest trends by going to classes/​expos or such to learn the latest techniques. She is super cute and easy to talk to!

I LOVE Amy Johnson @ Salon Amore! She is absolutely awesome. I have gone to her twice now, and both times she squeezed me in on short notice, AND most importantly, both times I felt the salon leaving gorgeous with my fabulous hair!
The salon is cute with nice décor, and I love the location in downtown Gilbert in case I want to have lunch before or after the appointment.
Not necessarily easy on the wallet, but I guess that’s what you can expect for a great stylist.
I’ll continue coming to Amy for sure.

A few months ago I booked an appointment with Tiffany… I mentioned the free cut with color and she happily obliged. Overall the experience was ok. I was disappointed with my highlights… I felt after a couple of days they looked oranged rather than the caramel I was looking for. I would have normally called her back and asked her to fix them, but I was very turned off by the fact that when I went to pay for the service — which was still about $ 80 – 90, that she asked me «next time please bring a check or pay me in cash.» And it was kind of more of a… well, it was less of a request. I thought it was horribly rude considering I left a huge tip (I asked what the price of the haircut would’ve been and tipped on the total for hair cut + highlights) and I left that in cash. In this economy and with the prices of such ‘extras’ like hair cuts and color, some of us have to pay on a credit card and pay it off as we go along. I make ends meet, but don’t often have a lot left over and this was a big splurge.
I left feeling really unhappy. She did say that the cost of using a credit card is passed on to her and that they are charged a service fee. But to me, that is the cost of doing business. I’m pretty sure she didn’t claim the hefty tip on her taxes. (BTW — my hair cut was very simple, I have long straight hair… it took 5 min.)
She’s a super cute and nice girl, but I won’t go back now and would just suggest in the future either let your clients know in advance that you prefer cash/​check payment or don’t say anything at all. It’s incredibly rude and unprofessional. :(

I was in between salons and looking for the most cost effective place to fix my not quite right haircut from four months ago. Things that helped make my decision easier were:
1. Website: though not the most sophisticated of layouts, sought sweet redemption in the form of bios on most stylists and portfolios as well.
2. Pricing: The staff stylists, I guess you could say, have this thing that’s advertised where new clients get 50% off your first haircut or something. Tiffany, my stylist, rents so her special to new clients is a free haircut with color. The follow up pricing is reasonable as well, $ 35 for a cut. Discounts offered for referrals; four referrals mean a free haircut. Score!
3. Scheduling: Tiffany handles all her own scheduling… even via text. Texting your hairstylist for an appointment ranks second only to that late-​night phone chat thing for those lonely types. I mean, if you’re into that sorta thing.
Anyway, I’ll wait for my second visit to give five stars. I’m sure that’s looming… can’t give it all up on the first date, right?

I went in here for the first time to get my haircut and colored. Everyone I passed in the salon was really nice which is a plus. The energy felt good because everyone seemed like they liked being there. I had Tiffany who was nice. If you had questions she answered them and also suggested some things that she thought might be better. The cut and color was great! I have already made my second appointment and look forward to my next visit.

Okay, so I have to admit I’m biased because the sum total of my visits to Salon Amore is one and it involved a FREE facial that I won through a Sephora contest.
Love the location in downtown Gilbert and it finally gave me an excuse to check the area out.
It’s a cute place though I didn’t see a lot of it walking back to the facial room.
The facial was supposed to be thirty minutes but actually went longer. Love how Julie gave me all the info on what she was using on me. It was very relaxing and, c’mon, free! Can’t get much better than that.
Would definitely go back for another facial from Julie and with their deal on haircut or color for new clients, it’s worth a shot getting hair done there too. I’m not committed to a stylist anywhere else so what the heck.

Soooooo cute! Posh little salon that is decorated so lovely! I went there because I found it online and saw that they give 1^st time customers a huge discount off their 1^st haircut (50%) if you mention their ad when you make you appt. I got a wonderful cut and style for only $ 20! I will definitely return because I loved the cut.

Adorable. I Love Salon Amore. It’s the seemingly posh salon experience without paying ridiculous amounts for a cut and color. Full waxing and facial services and full hair services are available.
The whole place looks like a scene from a vintage Valentine’s Day card: deep reds bringing richness to pristine looking golds and cremes.
Everyone there is so friendly and I’ve never had a problem with customer service. It’s located in Old Town Gilbert and isn’t too far off the US60 for me to stop going there even though I live in Tempe. I never would have known about this place if my hairdresser hadn’t moved from her old salon to here, but I’m so glad she did!
