Joe Bae salon is awesome. The salon has some great stylists. I've been going to Sarah for all of my color, and I can't recommend her enough. She consistently does an amazing job--my color always turns out exactly how I want it, and it looks natural and beautiful every time. She really takes the time to listen and understand what you're looking for, and her attention to detail shows in her work. On top of that, she's professional, friendly, and makes the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. She loves what she does! read more

Joe Bae Salon - Chocolate Balayage by Sarah - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I've been going to Joe Bae Salon for over 5 years now and the services remain stellar! Specifically professional and friendly staff and amazing cuts and color by Lindsay! I highly recommend the company and Lindsay! read more

I've been going to Sydney for years, she's amazing! It's good vibes, free parking, kind staff and quality services.

If you're looking for a hair stylist who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely kind, run (don't walk!) to Sarah. She is an absolute gem and the only person I trust with both my cut and color. Every time I leave her chair, I feel confident, refreshed, and honestly a little obsessed with my own hair. She has a way of listening to what you want--even if you're not quite sure how to explain it--and somehow translating that into exactly the right look. Plus, she's just a joy to be around. Appointments with Sarah feel more like catching up with a good friend who happens to make you look amazing. Can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Sarah, for always making me feel like my best self read more

Booked a blowout and showed up and was told I needed a different stylist to do my hair. And that stylist would only be in later in the day. A complete joke of a business, very unprofessional. Would not recommend. read more

I live in the Bellevue/Kirkland area and love coming here! The atmosphere is always so welcoming, and the owner's dog is the sweetest always there to greet you at the door. The girls in the salon are so kind and attentive, making sure you get exactly what you want while walking you through the whole experience. Super clean, relaxing, and overall a 10/10 experience every time! read more

Incredible. Alex is the best for men's cuts. Nikki is the amazing for the women's services. All hair stylists go above and beyond to create the perfect head of hair. Don't be afraid to ask/use their recommendations. Never have strayed me wrong. read more

I've been wanting to give the curtain bang trend a try, but was uncertain about the upkeep and how my stubborn Asian hair would comply. Erin took the time to help me decide on a good relatively low maintenance option, and also showed me how to style it at home. I honestly think this is the first time I've ever loved my hair coming right out of the salon! Thanks Erin! The salon itself is very nicely decorated and features a large assortment of high-end hair products. The location is a little tucked away, but parking is free in the small parking garage. My cut (with wash, no color) came out to be much pricier compared to what was listed on the website, but I'm assuming that's because of COVID? I was happy with the results, regardless. read more

Joe Bae Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I wish I could say! I called for an appointment and was told to message a stylist on Instagram instead of booking an appointment over the phone. I don't have an Instagram but I have a throwaway one where I just look up recipes and food recommendations. I messaged her with my name, but couldn't send her photos of my hair and vision as requested due to security locks but I asked to set up an appointment. I never heard back. Messaged the salon never heard back. So I guess if you're not a regular on Instagram, you don't get an appointment? I keep hearing great things about the customer service but my experience has been... unfortunately nonexistent. read more

The customer service here is beyond anything I have ever experienced. A huge thank you to Sarah and the owner. My regular stylist at a different salon was not available , and I was lucky enough to book an emergency appointment with Sarah. Sarah was not only a lifesaver but was incredibly kind and determined to fix my hair situation. Her personality and professionalism saved me from tears several times as she tried to correct my hair. Without getting into too much detail, she deserves a medal for everything she did and for me, being a first time customer. I highly recommend Sarah and this salon and will definitely be back . read more

The worst experience ever. I went to get my roots colored, but the stylist refused a service after going back and forth re how the end result would look like if I decided to use a lighter color. She clearly started getting upset when I asked her to listen to me instead of being professionally right. I was asked to leave the chair as she would not do what I asked her to do. Just because the salon is deemed exclusive and won some accolades, you have no right to disrespect people. The owner Joe came around and asked to talk to me outside - on the street! Disappointed that Joe took the side of the stylist and acted dismissive of my concerns. I went across the street to the House of Hebe and talked to a polite and respectful hairstylist who will do my hair instead! Will never go there again to this salon again. read more

I got a haircut with straight bangs and layers, and Nikki did an impeccable job! I've been to two different hair salons in WA, but I felt like Nikki was the best I've had so far. Before coming to my appointment, I checked out her profile on IG (aesthetic_by_nikki) and her clients looked amazing! She was very friendly, and it was lovely chatting with her. Since it's been a while since I've done straight bangs, I asked for tips on bangs maintenance, and they were super helpful! I was really impressed with her work, especially with the layers. I've been to hair salons in Korea whose hairstylists are on another level, and Nikki was similar to them in her precision and accuracy for capturing the hair inspo pic I showed her! I highly recommend Nikki's services and will be back for more :) The salon was nice inside with free covered parking garage next to the salon! Also, the front desk staff member (Shaniece, sorry if I misheard your name incorrectly!) was very sweet and offered beverages beforehand. All in all, I recommend this salon, especially Nikki! read more

I normally try to refrain from writing bad reviews unless it's real bad. Service was great, staff was friendly but my haircut was prettyyyy bad that Im getting another haircut with a different salon just a week after getting this one. I got a fairly simple cut, some curtain bangs and layers. I didn't notice it when they styled it but god it looked awful when I blow dried my hair after showering. The length on my right and left side are uneven, my bangs are also uneven. They look terrible even after I styled it with the air wrap. I was going to wait to grow it out but it's so bad I booked another haircut somewhere else next week. I expected better given the reviews on Yelp and Google. read more

Got my hair colored by Nikki. She's great! My hair was box dyed black and she transformed it into a masterpiece. She completed nailed what I asked for; which was orange with lots of dimension and something that can grow out nicely from the roots. Pricing was very fair and they even had a selection of shampoos for my hair color that have helped throughout the fading. I'm about two and a half months from when I got this color and it's still bright. read more

Joe Bae Salon - Color by Nikki - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Due to COVID, my salon was closed and my stylist of 5 years left. After searching through Yelp trying to find a convenient salon, I came across Joe Bae. Well this place has not disappointed. They have online reservations with a price list so you don't have to call around trying to work out availability. Walked in for my appointment was greeted by the owner himself. Cute place, clean, all COVID measures in place. Their entire team is super friendly, with mask you don't know if they are smiling or what but you get a nod as they walk by. My stylist was Alaysa, and yea trying a new stylist is like a first date and she was awesome in listening and working with me. Very patient and knowledgeable when it comes to colors. I got foils done and few days later my hair turned to a tone I didn't like. I pinged her, and got "oh no problem " come in and let's take a look. She did a tone down at no extra charge. It's a take consuming process but she was very understanding and cared. Which I loved about her. I highly recommend her and this salon. read more

Joe Bae Salon - Safety measures in place - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I have been coming here for a few years and seeing Lindsay. I was initially interested in this salon, and specifically this stylist when I started looking for someone who will dry cut curly hair. I was sick of receiving choppy haircuts with my curls and my cut shrinking way beyond what I asked for when I was done and in desperate need of something and someone new. I have to admit, a dry cut is not only wild but a little scary. Lindsay is super sweet and will ask many questions about what you love and don't love about your current style to make sure she gets it right. She is confident and careful while cutting my hair and that makes me comfortable. I have never left this salon unhappy. Most recently, I had an appointment set in April. Due to Covid and temporary closure they had to reschedule my appointment. I was in a month or two ago and was so impressed with their current safety measures I had to leave a review. Walking into the salon, they had made updates and remodels since being closed which was nice to see but also seemed appropriate for current social distancing measures. Lindsay informed me that they were not offering blow drys due to health concerns and making sure they don't create unnecessary air flow between clients. This was fine with me, it had been a good 6-9 months at this point since my last cut and I was in desperate need of Lindsay's expertise. When checking out I was so impressed with the measures the staff was taking to keep me safe. The receptionist wiped my card when she took it from me and wiped it again when giving it back as well as the pen I used to sign. I have not before or since had someone do this when a physical card was used for payment. I am so pleased with how they are keeping the community safe and open during these difficult times and look forward to supporting this salon for many years to come. read more

First time the salon.Sarah is an amazing person,and a fabulous stylist.She gave me exactly what I wanted.The precision of her hair cutting abilities is second to none.The best haircut of my life! I can't say enough,really. read more

I had a cut and color at this salon as it is usually great. However, the most recent time I went in I told them first thing that I was pregnant. After my color was washed out I asked what shampoo my stylist had used. She showed me a bottle clearly marked CBD, which pregnant women are supposed to stay away from. I spoke with the manager who checked with the manufacturer to make sure it was safe for pregnancy. Otherwise they did nothing to make it right despite the panic I experienced after this. Also, if a service is going to use something on a pregnant woman that contains CBD, they really should inform the pregnant woman before the service is performed and give an alternate option. I'm really disappointed and do not plan to come back. read more

My good friend highly recommended Avian and now she is the only person I will let cut my hair! My hair has been cut into longer layers by her and to recently a short modern bob that I love. She knows exactly what she is doing and what your hair needs. She is incredibly kind and understanding. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I had a great time last time (first time) I cut my hair at Joe Bae Salon. However, this time I feel like the stylist was not patient listening to what I want. I showed her a picture and then tell her what I needed the hair style to be like for my lifestyle. She was not patient and kind of dismissive. She eventually asked me how long, and I point to her below my shoulder. She started cutting without confirming with me the length. My hair now is above my shoulder which is not what I want and not what was in the pictures I showed her. I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks and now I have to go with this hideous har style that I cannot do any about now..... read more

This is a much overdue review for Joe Bae Salon. I've been coming here since I moved to Bellevue back in the summer of 2019 and plan to continue going here for as long as I live in the PNW!!! I absolutely adore and swear by this salon and all of the employees. Joe has built a fantastic team and it's very apparent how much they care about and take pride in all they do. I've been to a lot of hair salons and felt that they sometimes try to push additional services or products...not here. They've always been very down to earth, honest, and genuine about what they provide and are appreciative of their clients, regardless of what they come in for. I especially appreciate that they are honest and realistic about the services they provide - when I wanted to lighten my hair, Alaysa was so thorough about the process and told me exactly what to expect and what it would be to achieve the look I wanted. She didn't take on the task without telling me the stages of lightning my hair and exactly what I should expect as well as how much it would likely end up costing. I've been seeing both Alaysa and Nikki since I started coming here and I can't recommend them enough. Nikki has been awesome at squeezing me in and planning ahead for me when I tell her what my plans are. She's also been great at listening to what I want and being patient with me - both Alaysa and Nikki know how long it can take to deal with my hair and they've both been angels about it. Joe also will always go out of his way to say hi and check in with me when I'm there, no matter how busy he is. He remembers his clients and enjoys getting to know them! And even though I mostly see Alaysa and Nikki, I've slowly gotten to know some of the other hairdressers and staff and can't say enough good things about the whole team. They really do make you feel welcome here. It doesn't matter if you walk in looking for a shampoo, a bang trim, a whole hair makeover, a consultation...I promise you will not be unhappy. Joe has built a great team that very clearly respects and appreciates him for all he does (I've noticed even as an outsider that he tries to celebrate their achievements, holidays, birthdays, etc and even though it doesn't affect me in any way, I feel it really speaks to the type of person he is and how he cares about his salon as a whole) PS. Shay has a smile that could light up a whole room. It doesn't matter if you're having a bad day, you walk in the salon and she will have you feeling like the baddest woman (or man) in town read more

Went for a haircut today, and Danna did such a fantastic job. She carefully listened to my hair concerns and then shared her suggestions and plans with me. Danna is highly professional and knowledgeable. I had a wonderful and enjoyable experience! read more

Lindsey was very professional with me. She asked me my preferences, what I liked, did I have anything I wanted to try, any concerns? Since I had just moved to the area I was pleased. The color and cut was nice. I will return. read more

Love this salon! I go here to see Joe, been his client since he was at the other salon! I love how he knows how to frame my through layers that are not that high. I also trust him for my balyage! He knows what's best for his clients and what suits their face structure! The salon is new along main st. It's located at the heart of old bellevue! Parking is available at the front of the salon and at the back there is a parking structure, be sure to be careful where you park and how many hours you'll be because parking officers are very strict! Highly recommend this salon for people who are wanting a new look! I've heard but I haven't tried anyone yet besides joe that people working for him are equally talented! Would recommend this salon to a friend! read more

Been seeing Lindsay for a few years now! I go in for a full balayage every time. Always turns out exactly the way I want it to. It's as easy as showing her a photo of what I want vs what I don't want. Always a pleasure seeing Joe Bae himself whenever I visit :) Thanks guys! read more

I don't really write reviews but this was probably the worst haircut I've ever gotten. I booked with a Christian. She barely said a word to me the entire time. When I said I wanted a trim and curl style for an event tomorrow, she acted as if I was asking a lot for it to hold tomorrow and acted surprised that I did not know how well my hair held a curl and she couldn't guarantee how it would look tomorrow. She sped through the entire process because "she only had an hour" and I was charged $100+ for a 50 minute service that I feel like I could have done myself. I never get my hair done but this felt like an extreme disappointment. Will not be returning. read more

I called three weeks ago specifically requesting a balayage appointment with Erin or Joe on a Saturday due to my work schedule. I was scheduled with Erin for beginning of August, a long wait but I figured it would be worth it (also understand with COVID-19) and was told I would also be put on the waiting list for an earlier weekend opening. I received a call today that there was an earlier opening with Erin for a Thursday (even though I was on the weekend waiting list?) but a phone consultation needed to be done first. I repeated I was only available for weekends. I was then informed that Erin and Joe don't work on the weekends but I was scheduled for a haircut with Lindsey? Wrong person but also wrong service...and since I was scheduled for the wrong service, my appointment would have to delayed by another two weeks because Lindsay was already overbooked to do a balayage. I wasted these last few weeks waiting and the level of miscommunication and mistakes to even make an appointment does not make me feel confident about how the rest of the process would go. read more

I began coming to get haircuts from Joe this year and have had a fantastic experience. Appreciated the time taken to get to know exactly what I was looking for and kind of get a vision of where my hairstyle could be in a few months with some patience. Super clean facility, friendly staff team and Joe's professionalism, creativity and styles have been memorable and his haircuts gives me something to look forward to look fresh during a wild 2020. Highly recommend this salon and the vibe and team of hair professionals that work here! read more

Sydney is an amazing colorist! I've been going to her for full foils and balayages for years, and as a loyal client I followed her when she recently switched to Joe Bae Salon! The atmosphere is personal and modern, and I love that they stock all the major brands of luxury hair products. read more

Joe Bae Salon - Fresh blonde from syd - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Joe Bae salon must be a really bad place for stylists to work at, because I've now been through 4 stylists with them that have all subsequently quit, even stylists that are close personal friends with the owner. Each time this happens, I never hear from the salon directly that my appointment is cancelled or that the stylist quit. The latest time I found out not by the stylist or the salon, but by checking my stylist's instagram page. Such a shame since he was an amazing artist. They do not proactively offer to keep my business by rescheduling with another stylist. Instead, I have to call them and ask why I wasn't contacted for an appointment I scheduled three months ago, or worse show up and have no stylist for my set appointment that I've taken time off work to have. Two stars because their stylists themselves do a good job. You just have to wonder what is happening at that salon with such high turnover. read more

Avian is the best!!! I've been getting compliments on my haircut every day since seeing her and can't recommend her enough! I finally found my stylist here and couldn't be happier! :) read more

I am new to the Bellevue area and found Joe Bae Salon online. I haven't had a haircut in about a year as I was trying to grow my hair out after a bad haircut. I was nervous to go in as I have very dry damaged hair from years of straightening. I was scheduled with Miranda and she was so sweet and listened to exactly what I wanted. She cut a few inches off (she didn't go overboard!) and gave me some beautiful soft layers. She finished the haircut with one of the best blowouts I have ever had. Thank you Miranda!! I will definitely be back to see her :) read more

I travel to see Avian! She is seriously pure magic when it comes to hair. Her attention to detail and kindness is bar none. I have appreciated her creative nature along with really listening to my needs. She is the only stylist I will let cut my hair. I will continue to come back and recommend her to everyone I know. read more

I just moved into town and desperately needed a haircut. I decided to try Joe Bae Salon due to its high reviews here with multiple names of stylists being mentioned. I made an appointment and the earliest they had available was over a week later . So I definitely had high expectations going in. This is the nicest salon I've ever been to. It's clean, sleek and classy. As soon I checked in I had 3 people offer me a drink. The staff was courteous and attentive. I was then greeted by Kit who did my hair. I consider myself completely ignorant to my hair and do little to no styling each day. I told Kit I wanted something shorter and would complement my face shape and he gave me 3 different options on how to approach my hair. He was kind and patient and explained everything he was doing. He also told me any product he used in my hair which was nice. I love my hair cut and I loved how Kit made sure I would. He also gave me an estimated time frame the cut should last which was the first a stylist ever told me. This place is pricey (I paid $75 for my haircut-not including tip). But they treat you well, the establishment is nice and I left happy. I'll be back. read more

I have thin and volume less hair so I always ask for hair cuts that give more bouncy look and volume. I tried a hair salon in Bellevue Factoria and I hated it. I ended up getting a cut which gave lesser volume at the end and uneven layers. Then I tried Joe Bae Salon and I was fortunate to get Erin's appointment. I got a hair cut which I wanted. My husband loved my look. Erin was very professional and friendly. She first asked what I wanted and she very patiently listened to what I was saying. She cut my hair exactly how I was requesting for and at the same time she suggested whether my requests would suit the hair or not which gave me more confidence in her expertise. Try to get an appointment as they are very busy. read more

TL;DR - stylish, comfortable salon with kind, attentive staff. Will definitely be back. I've been going to Joe Bae Salon for about two years and have seen two stylists (Lauren and Lindsay), both are amazing! Their online booking system is very convenient and I think that their prices are a good deal when you look around the Bellevue area salons. read more

I would strongly caution you against seeing Heather. To make a long and traumatic story short, I walked in with a pretty summer blonde balayage that needed to be brought further up the shaft for an all over blonde. I showed pictures of what I wanted and of what I didn't. Unfortunately I walked out with the latter. When I expressed concern over the color she proceeded to style it even though I asked her to only curl a few strands so I could assess. When I expressed further concern about the color she said we were now out of time for a fix -even toner- because she had proceeded to style it when I ask that she not. The exchange ended with her storming out of the reception area as we were talking about options for another appointment. I was frustrated but calm. She on the other hand, was unprofessional and immature. I spent $300 to have her damage undone. Unfortunately, the corrective service did what it could, but did not reverse her work. The worst part is that I have a number of important business meetings and related photoshoots coming up. I'll have to grin and bare it feeling much less than my best. read more

My hair hasn't looked this great in years! Went in for a trim, after bouncing around from salon to salon with little success. Everyone working was Attentive. You can tell immediately that Joe Bae brings in the best talent. I had an appointment with Lindsay. She listened to what I wanted and the results were amazing! I've already booked my next appointment. Prices are in line with the results! read more
