Carly is amazing! I'm very picky with my hair, I've moved from CA, to AZ, to now here and finding a…read morenew stylist is always a process for me. I was fortunate to find Carly right away, she does exactly what I ask for every time. She's consistent and does great work! Most recently I had her do a Brazilian blowout on my hair. My hair is naturally curly and very frizzy but I like to wear it straight. My hair takes forever to blow dry and straighten so when Carly mentioned the Brazilian blow out I was skeptical but intrigued. I have a busy life with a 2 1/2 year old so spending an hour or more on my hair every day is really exhausting. Carly thought it would take about 3 hours but she ended up being able to color my hair and do the Brazilian blowout in about 2 hours (efficient service ... I love it). My results are AMAZING!!!! I got this done about 2 weeks ago and it's an absolute game changer! My hair takes about 10 minutes to dry AND style now! What?!!! I NEVER thought this was possible but Carly really delivered! I highly recommend anyone considering a Brazilian blow out to go for it! It's magic! Thank you Carly for taking such good care of my hair and recommending the Brazilian blowout! I love it!!

I'm new to town and found Sam through Instagram when looking for balayage specialists. Had a short,…read morefree consultation with her where she helped me know what service to book and made me feel so comfortable ans excited to come back for my service. She did a full balayage on my hair and I LOVE it. She repaired my old, grown out, yellowed hair and gave me a gorgeous ashy blonde. Friendly, professional, good vibes. Would recommend her to anyone I know and can't wait to go back!

Sam is absolutely the best stylist around. There is nothing she has ever done on my hair that I…read morewouldn't describe as absolute perfection. Not only is she talented and professional, she is also incredibly friendly and can make you feel comfortable right away. She has been cutting my hair for about three years and about two years ago started to balayage and tone to give me extra dimension in my otherwise flat bland brown locks. She listens to her clients; she knows I have no patience for styling most of the time, so she spends a lot of time making my hair look lived in and natural so it's low maintenance for me. It ends up looking polished and stylish without me having to put much work in. I've seen so many different stylists; like over 20? Because before Sam, I would usually never go to the same person twice. If you want a talented, artistic, warm, lovely person to help elevate your style, look no further.

I came in with a tough request. I had been dying my hair red for a few years. I asked if we could…read moreget the red out by doing a full foil of blonde and brown. She was 45 minutes late, which she did discount for, to her credit. After 5.5 hours I came home with red hair, hardly any blonde, my original root grow out lines, bleach bleed and foil lines. Pictures are from 2 hours after appointment. While I understand if there is some red, as I said it was a tough request, but there is no excuse for poor foil. Do not recommend. Sorry.

Sheena is a hair artist. She knows her hair, care, cut, and products. She's on the pricey side, but…read moreI convinced myself it was worth it, because the appointments never lacked for quality. However, there has been one reoccurring issue: she's late. Every single appointment she is not there on time. My last appointment I waited over an hour (!), and the one before that she simply forgot. I am patient and understanding, but today was the last straw. I let her know when I scheduled the appointment that I needed my appointment to start on time. I texted the day before to confirm the appointment. The day came and she wasn't there. Again. I texted. No reply. I waited. Nothing. I'm sure she had another perfectly reasonable reason for being late, but I left, frustrated and in tears, with my hair only half completed with what we set out to do. I imagine she can't do this to every client, else she wouldn't have any. I also imagined this wouldn't happen to me every single time, but it did. I now have to find someone else to finish what she started, and it will probably take weeks to get me in. I am extremely disappointed.

Although she's been in this business for over a decade, she is still educated on all the new trends, techniques and styles! She's moved to a new location in Olympia and her suite is sooo cute.
