As the producer of the Finding Arizona Podcast, I recently indulged in some much-needed self-care with a transformation from Man Attraction Salon my hairstyle. We had the pleasure of reconnecting with Chris Knudsen, the owner of Mane Attraction Salon, for our "Rediscovering Arizona: Where Are They Now" series. Chris not only joined me for an insightful podcast episode but also worked his magic on my hair, bringing my Pinterest board vision to life in ways I couldn't have imagined.

During our session, Chris emphasized that at Mane Attraction Salon, they don't teach a one-size-fits-all haircut; instead, they modify techniques based on individual client needs. He explained that my haircut would incorporate four distinct cutting techniques, each tailored to suit my unique hair type and desired look. You can see in the consult photos how excited I get during the entire process.

The transformation was remarkable. Chris's expertise and attention to detail resulted in a haircut that not only met but exceeded my expectations. For those interested in the full experience and to hear more about our conversation, you can listen to the podcast episode linked here. A special thank you to Chris and the team at Mane Attraction Salon for their exceptional service and for making this self-care journey truly unforgettable.

Please Check out Mane Attraction Salon at 3156 E Camelback Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85016 and tell the Finding Arizona Sent you!

P.S. Fun Fact the award winning High School show choir I was in was called Main Attraction, dont click here and watch this old youtube competition video, dont.

Getting a first haircut can be a little intimidating for both the child and parents. Number one question I get asked is who cired? The answer is… no one! True testament to the amazing experience Sit Still Scottsdale. Parents in the valley, get your kid over here asap; this place make anyone want to be a kid again.

We were impressed right away walking in: the decor was colorful and inviting, making it easy for children to feel at ease. The staff was friendly and introduced themselves to Atlas, making him feel comfortable. Sit Still Scottsdale has an experienced staff that specializes in children's haircuts. Our stylist, Lauren, was patient and listened carefully to what we wanted for Atlas's haircut. She explained each step of the process and made sure we were comfortable with the length and style. Atlas was entertained throughout the haircut with toys and a tablet, Blues Clues of course, making the experience a breeze.

Sit Still Scottsdale also offers fun extras to make the experience more memorable for children. Especially this being Atlas’ first hair cut, mama wanted all the bells and whistles. Atlas received a certificate for his first haircut and a lock of his hair to take home as a keepsake. Yes, a lock of his hair!

We recorded the interview with co-owners Bri and Katie during the cut and this audio and video episode is once for the time capsule. You can watch and feel like you were right there with us. Wait till the part where Atlas runs up to dada after the cut.

Thank you so much to the entire team at Sit Still Scottsdale. You made this experience one I will remember forever, my baby boy’s first haircut.
