Salon Tour De Force in Scottsdale, AZ

Tour de Force and Kristine were recommended to me as a great place for a quick redo. Going to a new salon can be a daunting task, it's typically awkward and a bit scary not knowing what to expect - since we all love our hair. But no need to worry - your experience with her will be wonderful. Kristine is sociable, but not overly so, listens to what you want, makes suggestions and checks in during the process. I left feeling wonderful and with a new look for the year.

Love Kristine. I have hair that's pretty damaged and she's been able to make it look great. She's got a great eye for color and absolutely and expert. She helped me change my blonde hair to a great auburn. I love it and have gotten so many compliments. This salon is just her and husband so you get lots of personal attention. They don't try to fit multiple clients in at the same time. Kristine remembered so many things about my hair, which I appreciated. She also has 7 AM appointments which really works out for me. I like to get as much done as possible first thing in the morning. Can't recommend them enough - experts, warm, friendly, appointment friendly - everything a good salon should be.

After several years, of searching for a good (i.e. knowledgeable, current, caring, reliable, etc.) hair salon - and being disappointed time and again - I have found a wonderful boutique salon, in the heart of Old Town. Kristine and Vincent are seasoned pros, who spend time, getting to know you - listening to you - and consulting with you about color, style, and manageability. The client is definitely the focus of the process and is involved in every step. The end result? Speaking for myself, I love it! I am so pleased and have already had numerous compliments, which admittedly, I welcome. Who doesn't? I found Salon Tour de Force, via Wendy D.'s 4/10/2009 Yelp review. I found it so believable and could certainly relate. So thank you Wendy, wherever you are.

I met Kristine & Vince when I opened my jewelry shop next door, Studio Six Scottsdale. After years of searching for the right stylist who knows how to cut curly hair, my search is over. Kristine was genuinely interested in listening to my list of; I want this but not that, my hair does this if it's cut this way, etc. We went over a few pictures of styles I liked, she agreed they were good choices for my type of hair. I told her I was leaving it up to her to create the right cut for me. She did NOT disappoint! She was very thorough, professional, and eager to give me a style I would love. After she was finished, she measured my hair lengths at various places, made notes on my chart, yes notes! Wow, a person who really cares about a satisfied client. But she didn't stop there, she did a follow up with me the next day to see how I liked it, and how it went when I styled it myself. We discussed a few ideas about tweaking the cut as it grows. Very happy and would highly recommend this salon.

I have finally found it! I have searched the world high and low for an awesome hair stylist and salon. Not a good one, not a great one, but an awesome one! I've been to high end, and low end. But no one has met my expectations and knocked my socks off until I met Vincent and Kristine at Salon Tour DeForce. I was introduced to Vincent through an image consultant because at over 40 years old, hey, we all could use a little help on our image. My biggest image problem has always been my hair! Because I have a triangle shaped face, I have found it hard to find hairstyles that I was really excited about. When I have gone into a salon in the past, they stylists didn't seem to have a clue how to match hairstyle with your facial shape. But Vince was different. I underwent a total hair makeover. He measured my head and my face, poured over photos, asked tons of questions, and finally came up with a suggestion. I told him he could do whatever he wanted and he did! I went from having shoulder length hair to very short hair. What I noticed immediately is that I instantly looked 10 pound lighter! (I wish that translated to my hips) I still can't believe it. If you're looking for a total makeover, a celebrity experience, similar to "What Not to Wear" but better, try Salon Tour De Force. They are the absolute best!
