Chandler, Ariz - Superb Service at Dolce Spa and Salon

I dread getting my hair cut. Even more than that I hate getting it colored. Not because I don't like going to the salon, and not because I don't like the way it feels when I get a great cut and color, but because it seems to be so hard to get a great cut and color.

Finally, I think I've found a place that will end my hair nightmares. Dolce Spa and Salon in Chandler, Ariz.

I made my first trip to Dolce with a group of girlfriends on a weekend outing. We decided it would be fun to treat ourselves to a trip to the spa, but since we all needed haircuts we skipped the massage and got cuts and color touch-ups instead.

The experience was great. The wait was short, and the staff very friendly and professional. The salon itself is sleek and modern, but without a pretentious feel. It's easy to sit back and enjoy the upscale atmosphere without the "snootiness" some salons try to portray.

Although we each had a different stylist, and some of us chose different skill levels (they offer one to five, and beyond five by special request) we all received personal attention and a detailed analysis of our hair and what we wanted done before they ever picked up the scissors. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when my stylist spent several minutes examining the natural growth pattern of my hair before suggesting a cut.

Special care was taken to mix just the right color, and the salon keeps records of what color was used, what products were suggested and which stylist did the work, so when you come in again and want the same thing they simply review your records and do a great job all over again.

My hair can be difficult to work with, and I often have to go back get the strands that the stylist missed fixed, but that was not the case at Dolce. My stylist took special care to make sure he had done the job right the first time. I was even more pleased the next day when I found out how easy it was to recreate the look he had given me. In the past, I have asked several stylists to cut my hair so that it naturally falls the way I want to style it. To me, this seems basic and I shouldn't even have to ask, but it is amazing how few stylists actually carry out the request. I was thrilled to realize that I wouldn't have to be fighting my hair to style it after I had it cut at Dolce.

Although I have not had the opportunity to try the other services offered, I am anxious to see if the massages and facial treatments are as wonderful as the salon service. I highly recommend Dolce Salon to anyone. It is well worth the price. I wouldn't hesitate to try the spa either.
