I am so thankful and in awe of her skill and what she could do in such a short amount of time. The actual salon was adorable, I loved the plants.

Was specifically looking for Kevin Murphy hair products. I had annoyed this poor salon asking a…read moremillion questions and trying to coordinate when I could stop by to make my purchase. After a busy day at work I walked over to the salon and found the cutest salon! I had seen pictures, but they didn't do the place justice. The three ladies that were working in there were so welcoming and polite. I will be sending anyone I know this way to give them more business. I purchased the Anti Gravity Oil Free Volumiser and it was put in a super cute little gift bag. Great customer service and a very classy place.

I love my hair! Mandy knew exactly what I wanted. I have…read moregone to about a six or seven stylists previously... and they couldnt get it right.

She also knows her products and what is good for your particular hair type... (is not just trying to sell you loads of prudct! only what would work well for you.) Thank you Mandy!!

Marissa literally is the best. Originally I had an appointment with her at her previous salon and…read moreshe was so kind to help make the transition to her standalone salon so easy. And! she still adhered to the original scheduled date/time. I noticed right away she was a very nice, down to earth person and honest. Where I was going before (the same salon she was at) I felt like my services were rushed. Even when I expressed what I was trying to get to. Marissa listened and understood in no time at all what I was trying to do and gave me a realistic expectation of how long it will take to get there. In one session she bleached/lifted my hair to the GODS in one appointment which would have taken 3-5 in the previous salon. I have my upcoming 3rd appointment this next month and I am BEYOND excited. She's so helpful and loves educating when asked about hair issue/concerns, which I tend to ask A LOT. The reason why I will continue to go here regardless of the charge: I love that she takes her time and makes sure you leave with quality. :) can't say enough good things about her!!!

Not only does he care about the integrity of my hair, but he gives great suggestions to reach my end goal desired look (without frying my hair).

I am new to town and needed a place to get my hair done. I was referred to Rayna's International,…read moreand I was blown away by the professionalism and courteousness. It is nothing like when you go to an African shop to get your hair done and unlike most African-American shops I have seen thrown together. Rayna is multi-talented and multi-faceted with hair, pocketbooks, seasonings, and reading material. They are placed strategically for view. When I arrived, she had just completed her previous customer, and promptly began with me. The out come of my crochet braids were dynamic. They are still in from the beginning of December, and can probably run a few more weeks.

I mentioned i had been scratching and didnt get a chance to oil she stated the relaxer she was using was not going to burn... I've been getting relaxers since i was 10; If you've been scratching, that shit is gonna burn! Needless to say, she didnt oil my scalp, instead she sprayed oil sheen on my scalp (?) and although she was fast at sectioning and spreading she had to make more relaxer and it was tingling/burning within 5-10 min. She brought me to the wash station where i received at least 2 washes and then proceeded with a deep conditioning. I didn't feel like the wash was thorough which is a big negative for me. However, the deep conditioning treatment was very enjoyable. From there, I was under the dryer for a bit and then brought to her chair where she proceeded to blow dry, flatiron and trim my hair. Overall, I was pleased with the finished product. Price.. Relaxer/Style, Trim (Comp'd, reg. $35) Deep Conditioning (?? not sure if that was incl. w/ the wash) = $130 (140 after tip) Note: Only 1 stylist. Books by appointment only. She does it all.

(BaBaLouise). http://www.yelp.com/biz/babalouise-seattle?rpp=40&sort_by=relevance_desc&start=40 . In fact, up to now, it hadn't dawned on me that some of the stylists rent chairs there and are their own bosses. My first stylist of choice left early on to bear offspring and is these days, working at a different salon altogether. However, before she left, she told me I would be in the capable hands of her friend, Donna Jean Svatik, hairstylist extraordinaire to my beloved wife and me. After Donna of Sleepy Ruby Hairstyling kept my wife's and my do looking absolutely fab-u-lous, we kept her on as our personal stylist. But it wasn't just the magic she does to our dos that won us over, it was little but important things. Things like, she is genuinely down to earth and has a friendly and caring spirit, she is intelligent and funny, she talks about interesting things and well, she is just plain easy to be around. And so it ends up that after 2 1/2 years of stellar hairstyling and great conversation, our appointments with Donna are now more like we are enjoying having a friend we haven't seen in a month cut, dye and style our hair while we visit her. What more could you ask for in a stylist? Donna, you're the greatest!

I often get asked who does my hair and complimented by total strangers. Donna Jean makes you feel like the most important person in the world and takes care of you like no other. I always trust that she will give me the look that best suits my life, my wishes, my desires. I can't count how many people I have referred to Donna Jean through the years. She is the best in my book and I highly suggest you become her client!
