Ciara & Edgar

March 28, 2026 • Scottsdale, AZ

These are a few of Ciara and Edgar’s favorite places to go. Whether it’s to be pampered or to get a great meal or for our favorite date nights. These may be outside the Old Town limits, but they’re definitely worth the travel.

Pampering and Wellness

Camelback Village Racquet and Health Club - This is our gym and health club. Day passes can be purchased or if you let us know in advance we can hook you up with some guest passes! Take a fitness class, play some tennis, head to the pool, enjoy the spa amenities, or just have a killer workout. About 10 minutes away from Old Town.

Dry Bar - Blow dry bar where Ciara goes to relax and get her hair done. About 10 minutes north of Old Town.


First and Mane - The barbershop where Edgar goes to stay looking fresh. He sees Dru, who cut Diplo’s hair! This is in Old Town so if you need a last minute haircut, this is the place to go.

Places to eat

AJ’s Fine Foods - Iconic Ice Tea’s, an integral part of Ciara’s life growing up. Perfect on a hot day. Pro tip - go workout at the Village and get a tea afterwards, or go get your hair done at Dry Bar and get a tea when you’re done, There are two locations nearby, both about 10 minutes from Old Town.


The Collins - One of our favorite places for date night. Ciara loves the French onion soup and rotisserie chicken, Edgar loves the tortilla soup when they have it and any of their steaks.
