Salon D’ Shayn – Phoenix

Awesome! First time coming here, have been driving by a few years but never stopped in until I booked a Brazilian… ! Lisa was awesome at making me feel super comfortable hence the type of service… I have found a new wax place!!! I’m am so recommending this Radical establishment!!! The owner Lisa is so cool!!!

Ask for Sarah Henize. She’s really down-​to-​earth, and painted my hair with care – a total balayage expert. My red coloring came out rich, and with smooth ombré transitions. It still hasn’t faded. The salon as a whole has a fun and inviting atmosphere. Staff offer customers water and coffee as they wait, and the walls are covered with vibrant canvases from local artists. Overall, I highly recommend it!

I scheduled an appointment here through their website which was simple and quick. When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted kindly, checked in and offered a drink. My wait was very short and I was introduced to my stylist Vanessa. She was very courteous and asked me several good questions before my haircut. I had pictures of exactly what I wanted and she worked with me to get me there. I went from a full shaggy look to the great undercut styled look I wanted.
Vanessa was also very pleasant to speak with. She kept a good conversation, while still maintaining a professional composer, always paying attention to what she was doing. I can say this was the first haircut I’ve had where I put my full confidence in the person cutting my hair. Even after the haircut she made it a point to let me know how to maintain the look I wanted and how to style the way I wanted.
I have to say this Salon D’ Shayn hit it out of the park and I’m extremely happy I selected this location.

The salon itself is beautifully spacious, and tastefully decorated. Nadine took her time with my (difficult) hair, and truly spent her time making it perfect. She’s a perfect combo of professional/​friendly. She allowed me to ask a million questions at every step and proved her hair knowledge. I definitely recommend this salon, and specifically Nadine.

I’m from L.A. and Melissa did the best eyebrows I’ve ever had (and I’ve been everywhere in LA). The second time I came in I had D’Lisa and she was fantastic, too (she’s the owner). Just awesome place. Heading in for nails this week. Fab place!

So glad I found this gem on Unilocal!D’Lisa is so professional yet is able to keep you relaxed during your wax. They have an awesome deal for new waxing clients and a student discount. Will definitely be back, already booked my next appointment.

Love this girl!!! Nadine is a master at her craft and I trust her completely with my hair! I recommend her to anyone that wants great hair and to be entertained while your getting amazing new look! Nadine is up with the current looks and listens to what I really want. She was able to get my hair as blonde as a I wanted. And I’m a picky client because I am a hairstylist as well:)

Had my first Brazilian in over 5 years so naturally I was a little nervous but it couldn’t have been a better experience! Melissa was wonderful — so fast and so friendly. It went by so quickly and now I’m addicted. I’ll be back :)

D’Lisa is very skilled and good at what she does. My eyebrows and I thank her. I came in on a Saturday and it was very hectic. I understand that it is a part of running a business. The wax part itself wasn’t bad at all in terms of pain. D’Lisa did take great care in giving me a beautiful arch, even though my eyebrows naturally aren’t even. I appreciated her attention to detail. She also gave me a discount on the wax which I appreciated. Overall, good experience but I think next time Ill come in on a weekday when it’s not so busy.

Wow… I am so happy with how my hair turned out!!! Bret did such a great job on my hair. I have really dark hair and its hard to make it ashy blonde and Bret did exactly what I wanted.
I def recommend this place and ask for Bret. I am going to be a returning customer. I was so unhappy with my hair. I would literally complain about it everyday and it would ruin my day. Now I will be happy everyday. That’s how much I love how my hair turned out.

I came in with mellisa to get my first brazillian i was kinda bervous and more anticipating the upcoming pain more than anything, the man at the front counter was friendly welcoming offered me refreshments. And Melissa! she kept a conversation with me the whole time distracting me from the pain. it was a great experience i even sent my sister her way because i was so impressed with how fast it was and how beautiful it came out she was above and beyond my expectations for my first time. I totally cant wait to continue to visit salon d shayne to see what else thay can do

Moved to PHX less than two weeks ago and needed a wax STAT. I was pleased to hear they could fit me in within 2 hours of when I called in (unheard of at most SoCal salons).
I arrived a few minutes early and was greeted by my aesthetician Melissa. Her previous appointment was running late so she called her and got the OK to take me a bit early — NICE! She took her time with my appointment and we had great chats. She treated me like HER CLIENT, not just another customer coming through the door.
I’m usually the type to shop around for wax appointments to find the best deal. The environment of the salon and especially Melissa’s general attitude and demeanor will have me coming back to Salon D’Shayn during my time in Phoenix. Keep up the great work!

Fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS! That’s all that comes to mind when I think about this cute little salon and my AMAZING stylist, Vanessa. She was feeling under the weather for my appointment but soldiered on and did a fantastic job cutting off over ten inches of my hair so I could donate it. She then made my hair look fantastic with a sombre (soft ombré) with glorious colors of red and blonde. Vanessa is a gem. She even took me back, free of charge to shorten up my a-​line bob and make it even more angled when I felt, after two days, that it wasn’t angular enough for me.
This salon takes all their clients to heart and clearly values their clients and their feedback. Thanks again Vanessa and Salon D’Shayn!

I dont get my nails done, or have wax poured over my rather delicate self but I do go here to get my hair cut. I went thru a ‘tryin’ to grow a man bun’ phase and it was a mess. I went in plopped myself in a chair and told the lady I could care less what she did. Boom ! Magic so powerful my mom liked my haircut. Now we all know men are little mama’s boys inside; guilty as charged but Sarah H just killed it with the haircut. Woot Woot ! Ok so thats all I got but the scheduling online process makes it super simple and the staff all seem very friendly. I wont be going anywhere else for a while now.

Leticia did an amazing job. She’s super friendly and I felt right at home as soon as she started. I’ll be back! I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

Just moved to Phoenix this year, and the first thing on my list to find was a salon. I found Salon D’Shayn on Unilocal,and knew I wanted to see Sarah.
She cut my hair perfectly! I have been growing it out for the past year. I asked that she keep the length, but give me a little layering to give it some shape. I told her I didn’t want framing around my face either. My hair looks exactly as I pictured. She gave me lots of information on the product featured in their salon, Neuma, and sent me home with some samples. My hair is super soft and has a glorious shine. She was really friendly, and I would definitely come back to see her again! Thank you, Sarah!

I love this salon! D’Lisa run the most amazing business. Her waxing work is impeccable.
Today I showed up thinking I had a hair color appointment but I accidentally made the appointment for the wrong day. She figured out a way to fit me in and I am So grateful because I have been looking forward to getting this done and I took off work to do it. Awesome amazing service!

I had a hair crisis. I had been box dying black for a couple years every few months over my lighter hair. I have had bad luck with salons not listening, chopping all your hair off, etc. I was worried I would end up looking like a pumpkin patch or hair falling out but my savior, Lydia Martinez totally transformed/​saved my hair.
She works her magic in the most modern salon (Imo) in Phoenix.. Scheduling the appointment was easy on their website. You can read the description and decide whom you want to do it or it will automatically give you a stylist open at the time you need. All their numbers are on the site so you can text or call your stylist ahead and maybe pre plan or let them know your on your way. I walked in salon‘D Shayn on a Friday around 11am and left around 5 looking /​feeling like a super star.
Lydia completely devoted her time to me. We spoke about products and I showed her some pictures of what I liked, then she made it happen. She was focused and somehow read my mind. She doesn’t pass u off to some assistant, she did it all. She is the one coloring, checking, washing, and styling. She worked fast but relaxed and answered any question I had. She is very inviting person who definately knows what she is doing.
She gave me the exact color and hair Ive wanted for a while. I sat in her chair feeling like a million bucks, even when all the color was removed from my hair did it look better than it did. She wasn’t invasive talking to me and made me feel relaxed for the project she had to take on. I had a color correction and the baylage highlights with olaplex, with styling and I’ve NEVER had better hair. It took several hours which went by very quickly… She did not push any product on me. She is also a fabulous makeup artist that is skilled in air brush makeup as well. If youre afraid to transform your hair but know it needs to be done you couldn’t pick a better place than Lydia at Salon D Shayn.

If waxing had a «Hall of Fame», D’Lisa would be the first inductee. She is a Rockstar! Not that there is such a thing as pain free waxing, but D’Lisa’s skill and method make it about as painless as possible. She uses different types of wax in various regions of the body so that epilation is as effective as possible. I’ve been going here for months and haven’t had a single ingrown hair. I attribute that to D’Lisa’s flawless methodology and high quality varieties of wax.
The salon itself is everything a downtown salon should be — funky, stylish and hip. The vibe is perfect. I can’t say enough about it! Love it!

I absolutely love Salon D’shayn! Courtenay at the Scottsdale location is FANTASTIC! She’s a complete expert at everything and I actually look forward to getting waxed! I’ve also been lucky enough to get my hair cut by Jude who really does a beautiful job. I have long kind of wavy hair and she always got my layers just right. I can’t say enough how great this salon is! The whole team is extremely professional, it’s clean, and you just feel relaxed and welcome. I also enjoy how convenient they have made scheduling appointments online. I can view and choose times that I know will work best for me and I don’t have the back and forth of figuring out a date. Truly the best and deserving of all the praise!

Bret, it is a pleasure to see how professional you are, also the attention to details as to your hair consultations. Enjoy your new scissors, they will help achieve your artistic designs.

It is true the service you get here is just incredible there are no words that I could possibly use to describe how incredible my experience was here Vanessa was fantastic super down to earth oh my gosh I came in here with hear that I thought that I was going to have to completely cut off and let me tell you this girl Mayte and miracles happen today

Salon D’Shayn is wonderful! I’ve been getting my gel manicures with Leticia for about 6 weeks now and she’s the best. Their prices are very affordable and she always does a fantastic job! I will definitely continue to get my beautiful manicures done at Salon D’Shayn!

Went here for my first Brazilian wax. Melissa was AMAZING! She’s super friendly and kept me calm during the whole wax. She’s also really knowledgeable about what she does. Gave me great instructions on how to keep up the wax and make sure I don’t get ingrown hairs.
I will definitely come back whenever I’m in Arizona and need to get waxed.

I absolutely loved Lydia! She got me in on super short notice and made my hair look beautiful! I showed her a dozen pics of things I liked and she was able to sort of put them all into one! She is amazing and definitely knows what she’s doing!

Melissa waxed my eyebrows and upper lip today and she was amazing! Not only was she super friendly, but she pays attention to detail making sure that I was symmetrical! It was a quick service, too! I was able to go in on my lunch break! Thank you, Melissa… I was a week away from having a mustache like Tom Selleck and brows like Peter Gallagher!

This salon never disappoints, I fall more in love after each time. I had an appointment with Lydia for hair and makeup for a holiday party and she did wonderful! She listened and asked what I wanted! I got sooo many compliments all night thanks to her! She is truly a artist when it comes to makeup and my hair looked gorgeous as well! I will definitely be coming to Lydia with any of my needs for hair and makeup! If your contemplating it, just book it you won’t regret it :) thanks again salon D’Shayn for impeccable customer service and another happy customer!

Great waxing experience! Melissa is really good at what she does. Amazing personality and perfect wax!

Lydia was my hair stylist! She did an amazing job on my hair cut c:
I’m really picky on who I let touch my hair and she honestly did an amazing job, I found a new salon I can keep going back to because the service is amazing. The other thing is I usually hate how they (hair salon’s) style my hair after they cut it because I have naturally curly hair and I love to straighten mine but she styled it so cute afterwards and didn’t even have to use a flat iron!

«, Another review– as if D’Shayn needs another one! So many great reviews… here is mine:
They took me in on short notice thx to a cancellation of another client. I came in with an image of what I would like: «layered bob». Stylist Lydia carefully examined my hair, my face, my head– took a «Before» photo, then proceeded to washing my hair to commence cutting. She probed for ideas on how short I would like, or whether I style my hair each day or not, also said if I do not care for the length she tries she can always go a bit shorter. I was going from VERY long to short, which I highly recommend for women with long hair to do, as long hair can age a person for the worse, as well as being rather out of style, as my hair was.
I make a point of not asking «how much do you charge» at these service type establishments as if you have to ask it makes everyone uncomfortable. I come prepared to spend, then after done she quoted a very low cost: may I quote it here? It was in the range of between forty and sixty dollars excluding tip, although even the finest salons in Silicon Valley charge that low end of scale expect to pay more in Phoenix (for reasons I don’t know but that’s not important now, but you might want to know this for your own information in case just moving here so you will not feel cheated)
Hair was shampooed, cut, blown dry and styled in UNDER AN HOUR wow! no half done job either, she is an EXPERT. She (Lydia, my stylist) took an «After» pic, I highly doubt they will use my «Before & After» photo as I do not fit their young, attractive and cool demographic– ;
Cutting hair is a skill. Some stylists just have a knack for it, some do not. I told Lydia to keep cutting hair as she is quite expert at it and she replied she plans on doing it forever, which is good. She should keep doing it, as a service to the public.
Listen guys, I’ve never been to a SuperCuts or «Great Cuts» but I have been to beauty school salons to save $$ and it is just not worth it. Those other places are a waste of money and they sell your marketing info, so don’t bother with nonsense like chain salons, for a sub par hair cut.
GREAT PLACE– no silly stuff, just wonderful cuts, great staff and very nice — they called me a cab too, so pleasant. I adore their placement of healthy Cymbidium orchids on the reception desk when you walk in. At least I think they were cymbidiums from the leaf shape, could be others but I doubt it as nobody has orchids here except the common varieties.

I continue to love, love, love this salon. It is pretty much my one stop shop for all things in my beautification routine. Waxing, facials, nails, beautiful color. Done and done. I’m going to see Karla tomorrow to freshen up my roots and once again praise her for the gorgeous color and life she has sprung back in to my hair.
Thanks again D’Lisa for providing such an amazing place to cover all my beauty needs. This salon rocks and the people who work here are fantastic.

I started out coming here a year or so ago for waxing from D’Lisa. She’s awesome and amazing. (I’ve also seen Taylor and Courtenay, and would equally recommend them as well!) At some point, I thought «gosh, why am I not coming here for other services?» So I had an express mani/​pedi from Leticia. I love her. I have never had a regular mani that lasts more than a week without chipping until I met Leticia. Now, I have to actually go in for another mani because my nails are growing out!
And hair… Karla is great. I only recently went to her, but it’s not a surprise that she too exceeded my expectations. I really just love everything about the salon… from the fact that they use cruelty-​free products to the fact that they have snacks and refreshments to the fact that D’Lisa works her ass off to give back to the local community! With Salon D’Shayn, I look forward to Salon Saturdays!
As an update, Karla has now been doing my hair and has done fantastic dye jobs! I wanted pink; she gave me pink. I asked for purple, she gave me purple. It was a great color — I only wished it lasted forever! But like love, fantastic color does not last forever. But check out how absolutely stunning the shades of purple that ended up in my hair! True Love!

I scheduled my first appointment through the online portal, and called myself the day before to make sure the details of my appointment were known. Whoever I talked to told me this would be a color correction, not a all over color as I had scheduled (my mistake). I asked if I should reschedule for a later date with more time and they said NO, just show up early. So I showed up 15 minutes early to the ORIGINAL appointment and waited nearly 30 minutes for Karla and ended up having me re-​schedule as color corrections need more time anyways? I didn’t mention in my original review because I figured no harm no foul whoever answered the phone was misinformed.
As for your response to my original post, I’m not distraught because my hair doesn’t look like the pinterest photos and I am completely aware color corrections may take more than one sitting, however, my hair is not a science project.
I told Karla I wasn’t expecting perfection just something IN THE DIRECTION of an ashy tone same level. I was affirmed on MULTIPLE occasions, we weren’t even trying to change the level of my hair JUST the tone. So I’m not sure why my hair was bleached for 4 hours (until it was nearly white) and then dyed nearly black when my original color was light when I came in. Level 7 as mentioned in my previous post.
I came back to have Karla color remove ALL of the processing from my first appointment to have my hair basically how I came in the first time? Except with even more awful red and gold tones. Calling this groundwork was a bold strategy. Towards the end of my rescheduled appointment she had another client, so she was dual processing our hair. My beliefs are the toner was left on too long because she was busy with a second client. I wouldn’t have even been as upset as I was had the 4 hours of highlighting been visible. I could have dyed my hair black for 20 bucks in 20 minutes.
When I came back and had the dark colors removed I left the chair another 6 hours later with, «its not that bad». So I hope you understand why a third and maybe 4,5,6 appt was not looking promising. Not to mention she said she would get back to me and quiet frankly I don’t think I would have if I didn’t post a review. So thanks but no thanks Shayn D Salon!

Speaking of false statements, I don’t use box color, and I never said that. I will tell you again that I wasn’t expecting a «miracle» in one sitting or even two. But I think the photos speak for themselves. We didn’t even take A STEP in the right direction. She over processed my hair at the first appointment while busy with a second client. Bleached it to the heavens and left the color in too long. So really the second appointment when she color removed her work from the previous appointment speaks for itself, does it not?
But you can’t talk up my request as some lavish and impossible «miracle» when all I asked for was a root shade and some balayage for lightness. At one point Karla suggested we «bleach my whole head» to start over. This is where the I draw the line! I was so overwhelmed by the back and forth I ALMOST thought that was a good idea, then I realized how absolutely insane it was.
My hair is absolutely no where near where I originally wanted it, but luckily a different stylist could spare me the embarrassment of how I left your salon.
I know you’re pleading your case to save your reputation, but pointing fingers about false statements and making your own is pretty childish. I’ll let this silly Unilocal battle speak for itself. Good luck!
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — –
You do have an abundance of great reviews, why do you think I booked my appointment originally? However, if this is how you patronize everyone who has a bad experience at your salon maybe there is more to to your awesome track record than meets the eye.
I’m glad you have loyal customers. I suppose a note to new customers would be to be ware because crossing paths with you has been distasteful to say the least.
You have twisted my words from the start. I know what I asked for and what I experienced was beside the norm, in my opinion. And that is what Unilocal is for, opinions. As a business owner I expected a little more compassion, but hey, I know where I’m NOT going anymore. Keep on keepin on!

Was so happy that the stylist’s work I loved from photos here, had an opening. Because I’m not a book ahead kinda guy.
In town for a couple days, so had no recommendations.
She was awesome. Knew exactly what I wanted gave it to me, served up with great conversation. Such a great experience. I would totes (as the kids say) recommend Brit to friends.
And the atmosphere of the salon was professional, but not uncomfortable at all.
Everyone seems very personable, and upbeat. (Not in an annoying way, but in an organic way.)

I got my nails done and a brazillian while I was in town for work about a month ago. I found Salon D’Shayn on Unilocal and am so grateful I did because it was a wonderful experience.
Leticia is the most meticulous nail technician I have ever encountered (and I’ve encountered many)! It was unfortunate that my manicure started chipping on the second day (though I blame the polish, which was an amazing color but on the thicker side), but my pedicure lasted for more than 3 weeks of flip flop/​sandal wear and still looked awesome by the time of my next pedicure!
The star of the salon is the owner, though. D’Lisa is a PHENOMENAL aesthetician. She was so fast and made the process so painless, I was like «wait. that was it??» If you’ve ever gotten a brazilian, then you know that’s not how it usually goes. I just made an appt to get my next brazilian and was thinking the entire time «I wish I were in Phoenix…»

Yay! I can finally write a review about this awesome salon and the great people who work here. I have tried upwards of 7 different salons in the phoenix/​scottsdale/​tempe area in the last 3 or so years that I’ve lived in the phx area. I am SO picky. I mean seriously picky with the way stylists do my hair (which I am sure many women are). When I lived in NY, I had one stylist that I trusted to cut my hair exactly how I liked it.
Finally I found Brett at Salon D’Shayn. I have been going to him for color/​cut for over a year now. He is the only stylist I have found that actually knows how to lighten color treated hair with NO brassiness. It’s a miracle!!!
I have referred many friends to him and this salon in general and will continue to do so. The owner, is quirky and fun. She often frequents the salon and jokes around with the staff and clients. She is down to earth and believes in true customer experience; which is the most important thing of all!

Paying for pain — Ouch! That could be my entire review, but I’ll elaborate.
I have thought about getting a Brazilian many times before, but never followed through. Before a trip to Maui, I decided to bite the bullet and get one so that I wouldn’t have to shave while there.
The booking process was painless. You can make an appointment online, which is fabulous! No one wants to be the one calling to talk about waxing while at work!
I booked with Taylor, mainly because she had availability at the day/​time I wanted in Scottsdale. I would have preferred Courtenay or D’Lisa, as I saw so many reviews about them, but I was on a time crunch so took what I could get and am so happy that I did.
I won’t say that the entire experience was pleasant for me… it hurt! I’m not sure I anticipated how much it would hurt! But Taylor was efficient and honest about what to expect and the process was completed quickly! I had a little bit of redness the first day, but it quickly went away! I had no issues during my entire trip, which was nice as shaving + salt water is unpleasant!
Taylor recommended that I go back in about 4 weeks for my next appointment and I plan on doing it. Two weeks later & I’m just now starting to have some growth back. I’d love to keep this going! Thanks for making an awkward experience as enjoyable as it can be! Props to Taylor for the speedy service & for keeping me calm during the process!

I love the location. McDowell and 7^th (plenty of places to eat and drink before or after an appointment). The interior design is modern and funky. They have refreshments available which is nice and this interesting spray in the bathroom to use *before* you make it stinky. This is important when there’s only 1 toilet. Just saying. I saw a girl getting an amazing makeup job done.
Most importantly, Roger Montoya is now doing hair there. He’s got quite the loyal following and I know this place is gonna be packed because of him! Please see my photo. He does amazing work! I’ll be back in a few more weeks!
