She's done everything for me- cuts, color, highlights- and every single time I leave her chair feeling beautiful, confident and so cared for. Monica isn't just a superb hairstylist with incredible skill and attention to detail; she's also an amazing human. She listens, she understands your vision, and she brings it to life flawlessly. Her energy is warm, uplifting, and genuine- being in her chair feels like self-care on every level. If you're looking for someone who truly masters their craft and makes you feel amazing inside and out, Monica is the one. Desert Strands is luck to have her, and so am I. Highly, highly recommend!"

  • "McKenzie is my girl, however, I have gone here for almost a year and every stylist is kind, warm, professional and every client looks like a million dollars when they leave. The environment is relaxing, and the coffee! Book your appointment for follow up before you leave as they stay busy."

  • "If you are looking for a good stylist, I can highly recommend Sydney at Desert Strands in Anthem. She has recently moved here from San Diego. I am extremely fussy about my hair and always concerned about trying someone new. Sydney is outstanding - not only is she good with color but she is excellent at cutting and styling. "
