Ide Mania

Booked a appointment for 3 people to get hair cut and color– were talking over $ 500 in sales for this business. We show up 10 minutes early and they all of sudden couldn’t get us in or care to help us. Worst customer service ever.

Just moved into town and received a recommendation to see Ide. She is a super start! Made some great recommendation about the health of my hair and gave me the best haircut in years! Super friendly on top of it. Loving this place and am so happy that I found a fantastic new hairdresser so quickly!

I have been going to Ide Mania for several years now. They know be my name because I am there every two weeks like clock work. Lili is the greatest esthetician you could ask for.
My very first visit I came in for my brows and was nervous because having someone shape your brows is serious business. She listened to what I wanted but more importantly she knew what would compliment my face. Lili has never failed to provide me with knowledge and great customer service.
In addition to my brows of perfection, she also does amazing manicures. She always made me feel like I was at a girls night and we would talk about the possible color options or adding glitter.
I’ve had a few of the girls cut my hair and each time was very happy. I don’t cut my hair often so that’s saying something.
I truly feel like a part of the Ide mania family and would highly encourage anyone to go there. Tell Lili I said hello!

I went for two sessions with Susan. The first, she cut and styled my hair. The second was a dye and highlights! She was fantastic! The customer service was awesome and everywhere I go, I get compliments on my hair! The best part, I got this done for my wedding and I feel confident and beautiful! I’ll be coming back here from now on.

I’ve been getting my hair cut with Lettie for several years now. She sweet and wonderful and does a great job on my hair.
Recently, I called for a last-​minute appointment and they scheduled me with Miranda. I felt like an infidel going to anyone other than Lettie, but they assured me no one in their salon cared. Miranda was also awesome.
I leave Ide’s feeling relaxed and looking much better than the way I came.
Both of my girls have gotten their hair cut with Susan. They were treated just like mini-​adults and left feeling spoiled/​pampered.
Thanks, Ide’s!
(Lilly’s pedicures are also great!)

I was told to go to this salon by my best friend after I had fried my hair in a depressed state. (Long story) I slumped in and was immediately set at ease and take care of totally by Erica with a FANTASTIC cut and Gina with some color shampoo. The damage finally grew out but I still go because Erica or Susan give me such great cuts and Gina gets me in when I need to — fast too! Lily does great waxing and the place is just urban cool. It smells good too.

I love this place. I’ve been twice now. The first time, in January, I went in for a major change. I went from long hair to a asymmetrical fringy bob. Erica was fabulous. When I told her I don’t like to cut my hair often, she wasn’t turned off a bit. I just had my hair cut for the second time by Erica (six months later) and had her do a little more «drastic» cut, and partial highlights. Again, I love it and have had many compliments already. The vibe of the place is fun, light hearted, and friendly, but they don’t mess around when it comes to the cut. I don’t feel like the friendly, up beat and fun atmosphere translates into a lack of attention to detail with the cut and color (as has happened in other salons)
The price is more expensive than the last place I went (which I loved) but I wanted some place closer to work/​home. I’m really happy I found Ide Mania and Erica. I highly recommend this salon.

Great group of ladies, always friendly and fun. I’ve been going to Susan for a year and a half now. I’m gonna miss her when I move.

After my last aesthetician moved, I was on the hunt for a new one. When one of my co-​workers (who is super anal when it comes to cleanliness, etc.) recommended Lily at Ide Mania, I figured I couldn’t go wrong, so I went in for a facial. So you know, this is more a of hair salon that has a room where Lily does facials. No big deal, just make sure you have your expectations set. I was surprised that the room seemed a little cluttered and messy (several old glasses sitting around in front of an old stereo with Lily’s red lipstick on the straws), but for a good facial for only $ 40, I’m willing to overlook some things. The facial was fantastic! My face felt hydrated afterwards, and I thought Lily did a great job of explaining what she was using. Also just FYI, Lily does not use steam, just hot towels. Again, no biggie, just setting expectations.
After my facial I went home and did some cleaning, looked in the mirror later that evening, and noticed that my face had started breaking out in hives and was VERY red! I was obviously having an allergic reaction to something that Lily used on my face. That night I applied some Benadryl cream, but woke up Sunday morning and it had gotten worse. I got up first thing in the morning to pick up some Benadryl pills and took those all day. Of course I ended up missing a Super Bowl party because I was asleep all day and I didn’t want to scare the guests. I woke up Monday morning and it still wasn’t getting better, so I made an appointment with the dermatologist (see my review for Dermatique) that morning. With some medication, it has finally cleared up, which makes me very happy.
I did call Lily Tuesday morning when they opened and told her what happened. She was very nice and provided me with the information about the products she used on my face. I obviously canceled a future appointment I had made (I’m just paranoid now). So my $ 40 facial turned into over $ 100, when you factor in my $ 50 dermatologist co-​pay and medications. :(

Loooove Ide Mania! I go there mostly for waxing since I’m terrible about getting my hair cut, but I always see those getting their hair done smiling and laughing and their hair looks great. I’ll be going there for this soon.
As for the waxing… Lily is AH-​MAY-​ZING! She’s so sweet and fun, and she does the best job on waxing that I’ve ever had! They’re quick to make appointments to fit your busy schedule and the ladies working are so friendly! You’re missing out if you haven’t been here yet! :)
PS — Their prices are also great! Better than any other salon I’ve been to WITH better service and results.

I can’t say enough great things. I just happened to be walking by and made an appointment for a cut and color. Miranda is great! To me the prices are average for an Aveda salon. My friend in Dallas is MUCH more expensive.
I decided to also get my eyebrows waxed and Lily was also super. Both took the time to discuss what I’ve been doing recently and even developed a plan for reshaping my brows for a more dramatic effect. Nobody has really done that.
I will be back. Love Ide Mania.

This place is so perfect! I never had problems with the services. I just sit down and tell them to surprise me every time that I’m there. With all guts, I can say that I was never disappointed. I’m always surprised and proud at the end my session with them. I highly recommend this place.

Being new in a town, it can be a little nerve wracking trying to find a new hair stylist. I’m so glad I trusted Unilocal and checked out Ide Mania.
First off, the salon was beautiful. The great colors & atmosphere made it feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I was promptly greeted by a very friendly receptionist. No snooty attitudes here!
My stylist was Miranda and she was great! She was very easy to talk with & most importantly listened to what I wanted. Nothing worse than telling a stylist you want a trim and end up with 3 inches less hair! We worked together to pick out a great color and she gave my long lifeless hair some much needed style (without taking off much length, just what I asked for!). Also, they use Aveda products which smell great and feel incredibly natural in your hair.
The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. Not out of this world expensive, but a little more than I’ve spent in the past. The cost is worth it for me as I only get my hair done every 3 months or so. Plus, the peace of mind of knowing you are in good hands is hard to put a dollar amount on.
I look forward to going back in a few months. If you are new in town or just looking for a new place, check them out! I doubt you will be disappointed!

I recently moved to Phoenix and needed to find a new salon after going to the same high-​end place in Glendale. Well, Unilocalers, the reason I went to Ide Mania was more than just because it was down the street. The great reviews from previous clients lured me to the salon. I had a great haircut from Lettie! She nailed it the first time! I’m going to become a regular. Love the salon and the Aveda products they use. The owner even came up and introduced herself and welcomed me and made me feel at home. Love this place! Thanks for being there Ide Mania! I’ll be seeing you.

Aside from one visit to Ramon at Carmen! Carmen! at the very end, I lived in Raleigh for two years and never found a hair stylist.
I move to Phoenix and get it right on the first try, within a WEEK!
Look at my profile pic. You see those long, gorgeous locks? Yeah. I want to know how long you’ve been doing hair, how long you’ve been doing color, and how comfortable you are with long hair. The wrong answer to any of those questions will send me to the next phone number on my list.
Luckily, I didn’t need to do that here… Gina hooked me up with an appointment with Erica on Saturday, and I left a very happy camper. My color looks great, and I’m satisfied with the cut. I can’t wait to get up in the morning to see what fun I can have with it.
This is an Aveda salon, and of course carries the great Aveda products. You can also get manis/​pedis, waxing, and makeup done here. It’s on North Central, across from IHOP, south of Osborn.
If you’re new to Phoenix, let me save you the trouble — COME HERE! Ask for Erica!

Love, love Ide Mania and everyone working there… I’ve known Ide and the entire family for over 16 years… I’m ready for a change and guess where I’m going… IDE. You can also get a facial, nails and relax while Ms. Gina does your makeup… she is a makeup extraordinaire…
If you are new in town, or being here a while and your hair stylist is not cutting it… go to Ide Mania… don’t waste your time… Plus they use Aveda… yeah.

I’ve actually known Ide since the late 80’s (I hate to even type that!) but she’s never done my hair!
After receiving a terrible cut at Paul Mitchel The School, I ran to Ide who immediately admonished me for «Going THERE!!».
She admitted my hair was now a challenge, but the final cut she gave me is stunning! I can’t write enough about how much I love it… and her! I strongly recommend Ide Mania! Trust me, you’ll receive total care and attention!

My mom has been a regular at Ide Mania for years and also takes my 17 year old brother with curly hair there, but they don’t Unilocal.She absolutely loves this place so it’s always the go-​to place for gift certificates for her birthday, Mother’s Day, and Christmas. My family was even nice enough to get me a gift certificate which I was used for an amazing 1-​hour spa pedicure and a bunch of products. Every time I’ve gone in there for gift certificates, to stop in and say Hi to my Mom while she’s getting her hair done, or for products they’ve always been so funny, warm, professional and nice.
My mom and brother who go there both have curly hair and Lettie knows exactly what to do and how to make their hair look the way they want. My 17 year old brother has been able to grow out his curly hair from short to about to a little above the shoulders, but it’s cut/​shaped really well so it always looks really good even between haircuts.

I have been shopping around for a new stylist since my last stylist moved away nearly two years ago. I live in Central Phoenix, and had been bouncing between my mother’s stylist in Chandler, who I like, but is far away, and Salon Estique, which I liked, but never really LOVED.
Folks, I am in LOVE! Miranda was seriously a miracle worker. I showed her a picture of a style I liked, and she was able to modify the style to fit my hair texture and lifestyle. I also had highlights that had turned brassy, and she brought them to life. Further, I have thick hair, and it normally takes three hours to give me a highlight/​cut/​style. Miranda finished in about two hours!
The best part was that I ended spending less than what I had been spending at Salon Estique. $ 135 for a highlight, cut, toner, and style. While I realize this is pricey, it’s about $ 50 less than what I had been spending, and totally worth it for a cut that I just adore. I have found a home :)

Since moving from the Ahwautkee area I don’t live as close to the salon I used to go to or the gal that cut my hair. I debated making the drive out there for a hair cut and staying loyal to my stylist, but I’m lazy, so I needed a place closer to Central Phoenix. On a tip Ide Mania was recommended (thanks Thomas S.!!). I was prepared that I would be paying $ 55-​$ 65 for a hair cut which seems insane, but this cut was worth it!
Stephen was my stylist and he is simply awesome! From now on I only want him to cut my hair. Not only did he do an amazing job, but he is from Manchester and I finally got to talk to someone about all the great music from that area of England.
This salon has a nice, laid back atmosphere. The gal (Gina) that works the desk is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome.
I love Aveda products and I’m glad this salon offers their line.
I’m now saving money towards my next hair cut at Ide Mania. It’s pricey, but this was the first time I walked out of a salon and have been totally happy with my hair. Big thank you to Stephen for being so awesome!
