Leidan Mitchell Salon

I have bounced around to different hair stylists for a couple of years until I was recently referred to Ms. Alyssa Ham who is a seasoned Hairstylist/​Colorist at Leidan Mitchell. After receiving my first cut 40 days ago I was very pleased. Historically the 2^nd visit really shows you what a stylist is really capable of and I must say my visit this week was perfect again. I’m happy, my wife loves my hair and I’ve found a stylist that is professional and knows what she doing.

Hi,
I recently got a hair cut and highlights by Meagan. She was amazing. So patient and talented. Just with the way she was holding the scissors I could make out that she was going to be good. She did the exact cut I showed her (which is rare). The highlights were done amazing. And hello she knew how to not pull your scalp and blow dry. I usually had many hairstylists from good places pull my hair hard to blow dry and thin it out eventually. Luckily Meagan knows her job. She was kind and spoke very well.
I recommend her anyday.

If you want a talented, fast, punctual, friendly stylist… Megan H. She’s the one. I saw her without really knowing anything about her just txt MSG’s back and forth. She coloured and styled my hair perfect and was a joy to get to know. Highly recommended!

Joelene is amazing, after two months of bad recommendations and wasting tons of money my hair nightmare is finally over. I only wish I would have found her sooner!!! Joelene contacted and set me up with a consult, she listened without interruption and was honest about what she could do. After my first appointment with her I have been receiving compliments on my hair regularly.

The stylist I went to see was Megan Hanna. She executed what I wanted perfectly and explained what she was doing which made me feel super comfortable. I’ve been seeing her for years and she never disappoints! She’s so personable and listens to her clients’ needs! I highly recommend her!

I’ve been coming here for several years now. Megan H is AMAZING. She always takes into consideration what I’d like then suggests ways to make it the best for me (color, flattering cut etc)
Environment is open, busy, and happy. Lots of great energy. Very happy.

Love this salon but love even more how I feel walking out the door! Sarah Kennedy is an amazing hairstylist. Cuts and coloring are always spot on! Can’t wait to try more of their services!

Recently my original stylist left LM and I was referred to another stylist Ashly Grubbs and, all I can say is THANK YOU! Ashley is wonderful. Ashley is great at what she does, her cuts are right on what we ask for and her passion and ability to do color is unsurpassed. My high school aged daughter an myself both go to Ashley and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Ashley, you won’t be sorry if you book an appointment her. Thanks Ashley!

Ashely has done an awesome job on my hair!

I absolutely love Leidan Mitchell Salon! I have had the most amazing facials with 2 of their aestheticians, Brittney and Marissa. And their stylists are the only ones I trust with my hair, ask for Susie or Megan. The salon is beautiful and the facial rooms are hidden in back where it’s quiet and tranquil.

I followed my stylist Annabelle Jones from another salon to Leidan Mitchell several years ago. It’s a beautiful atmosphere, and I actually look forward to walking through the door! Annabelle has been sent to NYC for specialized techniques, returning each time with exciting new style trends. The salon is the perfect place for well trained stylists like Annabelle to show their talents. It is always a compliment to the stylist when women ask me where I get my hair done.

I have been going to this salon since they opened and usually have a great experience, until today that is. I’m the Mother of a 1 year old, I have brought my child to the salon before with no problems but today was different. My child began to cry, I will admit it was a little loud but believe me I was trying every trick in the book calm him and not disrupt those around me. A stylist, whose name I know but will not mention approached my stylist and informed her that «your clients baby is crying and that she needed to do something about it because her client who pays a lot of money to get her hair done did not deserve to have her experience ruined by a crying baby».
As a former hair stylist, I understand wanting to create a relaxing environment for my client especially with the prices we charge but I’m also realistic and know that sometimes shit happens that is beyond my control and that when you work in a busy salon with 50 other people things aren’t always going to go my way. I now also know as a Mother, that babies cry and unfortunately not always in the privacy of your own home and when it happens you do what you can but you just have to make the best of it if you ever want to leave your house. So instead, I left my appointment today feeling embarrassed, ashamed, and unwelcomed because I didn’t have the perfect baby that never cries.
I will say that my stylist was amazing and never made me feel bad about my crying child, as a Mother herself she showed compassion for my situation. There were a couple special helpers whose names unfortunately I do not know, but who offered to help distract my child while I finished my hair appointment.
So for anyone looking for a new salon you should know up front that this is not a family friendly establishment and unless your child is a quiet little angel at all times they are not welcome at this salon. So get yourself a babysitter before booking an appointment. At least that was how I felt when I left.

Nice salon! Ask for Kelly! She is seriously amazing. One of those stylists who you can totally trust and will be honest with you. If you come in with a specific idea, she makes suggestions that would flatter you the most and be the most low maintenance, which I think is a huge sign of experience and expertise.

Annabelle is amazing. I receive so many compliments on my hair. She works with what you have so you are the best version of yourself.

My experience with Leidan Mitchell Salon in Chandler was not a good one to say the least. After hours online researching places where I could find someone who cared about skincare and had the experience and knowledge, I was initially impressed by Marissa (one of the aestheticians at this location). So, I booked a consultation appointment and showed up ½ hour before the appointment. The salon’s website asks that you show up 10 – 15 minutes before your first scheduled appointment so I knew I was there well in advance. I was checked in by the receptionist who told me to have a seat and that Marissa would be with me shortly. I sat there and waited… and waited. Never being offered a drink like most upscale salon/​spas offer. I watched as the receptionist walked back and forth to her station a few times with a water bottle but never bothered to offer the clients waiting a beverage.
My appointment time came and out walks Marissa. She asked if I was another person and I told her who I was. She then proceeded to not say another word to me but to walk over to the receptionist station and stood there and chit chatted away with another aesthetician and the receptionist. After 8 minutes past my appointment time, I finally walked up to the receptionist to ask where we were with my appointment. She looked at me with «deer in the headlights» and proceeded to ask me who my appointment was with again (and she’s the one who initially checked me in). I told her it was with Marissa who was standing right there as well and then had the audacity to tell me that what time the appointment was for. I told her I understood the appointment time but that it was already 8 minutes after I was scheduled for and she wasn’t doing anything but talking with others at the front desk anyway.
After her rude and very unprofessional attitude, I told her to never mind that apparently Leidan Mitchell didn’t need or want my business and that I would take it elsewhere.
After I got in my car, Marissa proceeds to call me to try and apologize. A little too late unfortunately for her.
I guess the lesson for Leidan Mitchell and something for them to remember is that salon and spas are a dime a dozen. You can find them on any street corner and they all offer just about the same services. I would think that in this economical climate, no business wants to throw money down the drain or offer terrible customer service; however, I guess Leidan Mitchell is different. What could have been new business for them and potential ongoing revenue is now lost because the staff was just too busy talking about their personal lives with each other to care.
I did make a point to contact the owner of the salon who did take the time out to listen and apologized but said it wasn’t typically of the Chandler location (it never is) and that there was probably nothing that could be done to rectify the situation (there’s always something that can be done).
The ironic thing is that on Leidan Mitchell’s website on the «About Us» page, the first item addresses the salon’s commitment to service.
Maybe the Phoenix location is different (and I hope it is) but for those of you looking for a new salon or spa… I would recommend looking elsewhere.

I love Leidan Mitchell, however I can’t attribute it to anything other than my amazing hair stylist Jess Goldman. Jess has been doing my hair for years now. After working in a salon, she knows that I love to change my color and style all the time, and she totally gets me! One day I want to be light the next I want my hair to be dark, and shes okay with it! She has the edge, but also the class! LOVE HER!!! And its like therapy everytime I go.
The stylists do rent, so you have to call the stylist or service provider individaully. I do love the salon because it reminds me of Cinderella with the colors. I love that they have wine on hand, and small snacks :) They also have fresh iced tea and lemonade. They have a great selection of Bumble and Bumble products, Kerastise, and some higher end skin care and makeup. Its a great feel in the salon, and from what I can tell everyone there is talented! :)
I would definitely recommend.

Finally someone that can do healthy blonde! The salon is a very cute, open and trendy chic-​boutique. It’s pretty much the Steven Paul of the East Valley. If your looking for a fabulous stylist book with Sheryl Hoffer!

I’ve tried well known high profile salons, budget minded «chop shops» and experienced barbers throughout the SE Valley but none truly impressed me. Until now it was hard to say what it was but something was surely lacking. After meeting & experiencing a cut and style by Annabelle I pin pointed what others lack and Annabelle has; «A passion for styling hair and truly listening to people.» What really made the difference is she took time (more than the typical minute and a half) to ask questions and listen to how I typically have my hair cut.
While keeping well within my style «comfort zone» Annabelle made subtle changes updating my style which allows me to keep a professional look at work but leaves room for some «looser» options for nights or weekends. Nothing crazy but just using different product and styling techniques. She immediately made me feel comfortable and I will absolutely return to her for future cuts. You can spend less or you can spend more, but you won’t get a better, more professional (and charming) stylist.

This is a nice salon in Chandler. It’s very clean and just has a very welcoming décor.
I see Mariel for my hair. I’ve seen her since 2004. I have very curly, difficult hair and for me, she handles it like a charm. I really can’t imagine seeing someone else. And when I have tried to see someone else in the past, it’s always been a disaster.
She is friendly and courteous. I really can’t say enough about her!

I have had a couple of different types of services at this location. I saw two different gals for hair cuts and styling and then saw one lady for nails. My overall rating is 4 stars because the facility is in excellent condition, the décor is modern, tasteful, welcoming and all the gals I saw for hair or nails did a great job.
I went today and got my bangs touched up and my hair done and this time specifically requested a stylist. She was awesome and you can tell that she is highly experienced and trained as a hair stylist. She explained to me a lot of things regarding proper cuts and proper way of layering for my hair type and hair density — who knew?! She did an excellent job and then to top it off, she gave me a 20% discount (I’m not sure why, really!), but you can bet your butt I will be seeing her again.
As far as the other hair gals I’d seen previously, sadly, they didn’t stick out in my mind, but they did a fairly good job… The only reason the nail lady (Aurora) was memorable was because, though was very accommodating when I had a wedding to go to, I didn’t care for the fact that when I accidentally bumped my finger and smudged the polish, she about had a mini fit! Then when she went to touch my toenails to see if they were dry, she smudged them and said «oops. well, it’s not too bad» and left them like that. Bummer I won’t be going to her again, but I really like the salon and I am looking forward to see my new sylist again in a few months!
