Mood Swings INC

I LOVE Aveda products and find a new amazing product every time I come to get my haircut at Mood Swings! With every cut comes a massage as well as a clear explanation of all the products being used and why. The atmosphere and staff is one of the most unique I have ever seen. Great building and great people who really know their stuff! I would recommend this salon to everyone, especially those who enjoy Aveda - a truly unique Aveda experience! Pros: The Staff is Amazing! Cons: None! more

I have been going to Mood Swings since I moved here 7 years ago as a freshman at ASU. Not only is the building and atmosphere really cool, the people are so genuine and nice! I love facials and have tried many of the top spas in town and they just don't compare to Mood Swings. Just the exact amount of cleansing and relaxation. I would highly recommend this Salon & Spa! more

I tried Mood Swings for the first time last month. Usually at upscale places the people are snooty and rob you of your money. I got a massage when they washed my hair and my stylist gave me a bunch of tips when she was doing my hair. Most places don't even style your hair after without a charge. I liked how she told me what products she was using and why, which made me want to buy them in the end. I will definitely be going back! Pros: You get a massage with a haircut more

Just tried this place for the first time and it is great. Highly recommend it to anyone. I have nothing bad to say about my experience. Everything we great. more

The Salon staff is above and beyond the standard and makes sure each client is taken care of in their own unique and relaxing ways. Ava, the aesthetician, works wonders and really makes each service custom to the client. They've got every service from hair cuts to pedicures and each is more luxurious than the next. I love the glocation too. Pros: Attentive Staff Cons: None! more

I have been going to Mood Swings since I moved to Tempe. I was drawn to the building be located on Mill where I hang out a lot with my friends. I tried their services with a cut and color and loved it. I have been going back ever since. Pros: Best hair dye job Cons: Nothing!? more

Have been coming here for less then a year now, and always left satisfied with my haircut. Customer Service is superb, even when making late bookings. I have recommended friends of mine who were looking for a mens haircut, and they have been satisfied as well with there cut. Pros: great stylists, reasonable prices - more

So, I used to go to supercut ( I know, I know). But, I just always thought of getting a haircut as a maintenance type of thing. You're in, you're out, done. But, when I started going to Mood Swings it completely changed my mind! I see Alex and she is amazing. SHe starts off with a great shoulder and scalp massage that gives you goosebumps all over. From the second you sit in the chair until the very end of the service, everything is amazing. As if the amazing haircut and service isn't enough, the front desk staff is amazing. They are friendly, cute, and outgoing. They offer tea, water, and coffee upon arrival. AND if you ask for it, they will give you a sensory journey which completely opens your senses and is soo relaxing! I would definately recommend Mood Swings to anyone. Just try it at least once and I promise that you will never go back to your "in and out" ways. OH, and did I mention you can always prebook your next appointment and save $5? TOTALLY AWESOME! Pros: awesome hair, facials and waxing! EXTREMELY helpful staff Cons: none!! more

I have been going to Mood Swings for years. Abby was my stylist but she moved away. Now I see Suzanne. Recently I found out Abby came back. Both are great! Not only a great cut and color, but product recommendations, no pretence and a relaxing service. Mood Swings is how I treat myself. Highly recommended. Pros: Talented Staff Cons: None more

I was a long-time customer of Moodswings. They used to take amazing care of their clients and it was a great atmosphere with qualified stylists, astheticians, etc. IN the last year or so I have had nothing but NEGATIVE experiences! My stylist left, so did my asthetician - the people they replaced them with were AWFUL, amateur, and obviously did not have the level of experience I would associate with a salon of the quality Moodswings claims to be. Their prices have also skyrocketed and their level of professionalism as a whole lowered. I would not give them your business if you are expecting top of the line service and experience. Pros: Location & Array of Aveda Products Cons: Unprofessional, constantly changing staff, disorganized more

I like it because its not very expensive and it also gives you access to food. The food is not very god but the massage is awesome...Just get there early becuase they are slow. Pros: Food Cons: Expensive more

Well I have been a client of this salon for about a year now and I have yet to have the same stylist cut my hair. It seems like they can't keep good staff. I find someone who does a good job and that I would like to see again and then recieve a call that they are no longer with moodswings and that I have been put with someone else for my next cut. I hate this!!! I finally feel like I have found someone good and they are gone. I have now tried yet another stylist and I HATED my hair this time! UGH!!! There is NO consistancy! Its not worth going back anymore because I never know who I am going to get or if my hair will be good or HORRIBLE!!!!!! Don't even waist your time finding parking and paying the high prices here. You would be much better off at any other salon!!!!!!!! more

I have been going here for years and in the last 6 months it has gone down hill, I gave them a chance to come back around, but they didn't don't know what is going on, but I have a terrible haircut, eyebrows, bad massages, nails, it all has been awful lately now I have the worst cut I have ever had and I am in tears and they can't even fix it right they tried. I didn't even get an apology. They are overpriced for what you get now. Go somewhere else, I do not recommend this place anymore. more

Been a few times. Love the atmosphere. Great Aveda products, awesome waxing and Mandy is a wizard with scissors. more

The receptionists were very friendly and my appointment was on-time. I went downstairs and got waxed they did an awesome job. Next I went up and got a manicure. I believe I waited about 5 mins between the two. The manicure was awesome too. Next I went to have my hair curled. During the hair curling I asked the stylist if the owner worked in the salon she said that he was an accountant and that she was supposed to be doing his hair next. She rushed through my hair and sadly my curls all fell out before the party that I was going to that night even started. I understand why this happened and next time hopefully the stylist won't be in such a rush. Next I had my make-up done and they did a fantastic job. My overall experience was great and I would recommend they to any of my friends. more

I recently went to Mood Swings for a hair coloring for the first time. It was the best salon I have ever been to. The front desk staff was helpful with where to park, they offered me a drink, and told me to sit and relax while I waited. My stylist was very good at listening to what I wanted and gave me helpful ideas on how to keep up on my style at home. I got a great chocolate color and left feeling stress free. I even got my makeup done before I went out the door. The salon has a very open feel and everyone seemed to get along. Another stylist even commented on how nice my coloring job was. I highly recommend Mood Swings to everyone who wants the best! Pros: Best Salon Cons: I can't even think of any! more

Hair stylist cut two other customers hair during scheduled appt. I hope they don't overbook stylists in the future. Pros: ........... Cons: .......... more

I wanted highlights that were not brassy and a "Lisa Rinna" style cut. I left with hair that is dry and brittle, looks overly processed and a style that looks nothing like the picture I brought in. My hair color looks like something that I might have done myself. It is really disappointing. I won't return. Pros: None Cons: color,cut,parking more

The first time I came to Mood Swings I just got a haircut. I loved it so much I had to bring my sister in with me to get our hair dyed. I saw Amy and my sister saw a different girl. My color turned out great! It was really shiney and my hair was healthier than before I came in! The salon has a great staff with awesome talent. My sister and I love our hair! GO TO MOOD SWINGS SALON!!! Pros: Color, GREAT SALON Cons: Parking more

Being it my first visit to Arizona, I used the "Best of City Search" as my guide to the city's "best" salons and spas. I was very happy with the spa that I chose, but not so much with the salon, "Mood Swings." I forgot the name of my stylist, but she was artsy in appearance - thick glasses, brown hair, with an ecclectic look. The biggest mistake that is made in a salon is the miscommunication between the customer and the stylist on the outcome of your experience. To prevent this, I brought a picture with me. I wanted to change my current buttery blonde hair to a medium to darker brown with icy blonde highlights. I had a picture illustrating what I wanted. Somehow, when I left the salon, I was still arguably a blonde. Under normal circumstances, I would have argued to have it fixed. However, my vacation clock was ticking, as I am employed overseas. My boyfriend had waited patiently for over 2 hours for me to go from the drammatic change of blone to dirty blonde, so correcting the mistake was not worth my time. Neither was the salon. She asked me was I happy, and with all respect, I calmy told her that this was not the look that I showed her. She explained that it was because the girl in the photo had a different haircut. REGARDLESS, a haircut does not transform your hair color. I wanted medium to dark brown hair, and I was arguably one darker shade of blonde. You have to be really horrible at your job to screw something like this up. My hair, which was really healthy pre-salon visit was unusually dry afterwards too. The other stylists might be wonderful, but this one was not. The salon should more thouroughly evealuate who it hires, or risk ruining their reputation through one bad egg. more
