Hair Salon in Scottsdale AZ (South Scottsdale) | Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge
Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge • Serving Scottsdale, AZ • Updated August 2026
Studio Eighteen Hair Lounge draws guests from south Scottsdale, the stretch of Scottsdale closest to our Gilbert studio. We're a full-service salon in Gilbert, and guests from Scottsdale book with us for color, cuts, extensions, and styling.
Getting Here From Scottsdale
The drive in from south Scottsdale runs the Loop 202 corridor down through Tempe, typically 20 to 25 minutes to our Cooper Road studio depending on where in Scottsdale you're starting. It's one corridor most of the way, not a string of turns, which is the detail guests actually want to know before they book a first appointment somewhere new.
About Scottsdale, AZ
Scottsdale is a big city, so we're specific about the part of it we actually serve well: south Scottsdale, the stretch between north Scottsdale and Tempe, not the resort corridor up near the Mayo Clinic or DC Ranch.
South Scottsdale sits close to Tempe Town Lake, Arizona State University, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and it's known as a more affordable, more central part of the city than the postcard version of Scottsdale most people picture.
For guests coming from that stretch, the Loop 202 makes Gilbert an easy cross-town drive rather than a trek, which is why we see clients who work near ASU or live in south Scottsdale choosing to book with us over a salon closer to home.
Tempe Town Lake and the ASU campus sit right on the line between south Scottsdale and Tempe, so a lot of the guests we hear from in this stretch describe their neighborhood by proximity to the lake or the university more than by a formal district name.
South Scottsdale also tends to run more affordable than the rest of the city, which is part of why it's grown into its own identity instead of just reading as the entrance to Scottsdale proper.
