Great hair cut and Kim was very sweet. I will definitely be going again. Kim was genuinely kindhearted and business like these are worth supporting. Especially when other salons or barbers will charge you $70 for the same result read more

Kim always gives me a good cut. Friendly and she cuts it the way I want it. And the price is right.

MY wife and I have been going to Kim's for about 6 years. Great lady that gives a good hair cut at a very fair price. $21.00 for regular cut and $18.00 for seniors. read more

We have been going to Kim's Friendly Cuts for years. She's so good with the kids. She's a wonderful person and honestly her prices can't be beat! She recently moved from Bothell Canyon Park to Kenmore. I know she's lost clients due to that, but I hope her regulars find her and so will new clients!! read more

Kim's Friendly Cuts - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

I just moved here from Iowa, and was in need of a haircut. My previous haircut person was named Kim, and I like to go to small independent businesses when I can. I sat down in her chair, and she asked me what I wanted, which was a completely useless question because she did not listen to what I told her. I had a recording from my previous barber in Iowa explaining what to do with my hair as it's tricky to cut, and which included not using clippers for the hair itself and instead doing scissor-over-comb. What's the first thing she did? Grabbed the clippers and started buzzing my hair before I could stop her. "This is the same thing, only a different way." No, it's not. My haircut is AWFUL. I look like a mugshot of a serial killer now, and it will take at least two months before my hair is long enough to fix. Thank god for hats! Unless you want someone to charge you $21 to give you an at-home clipper buzzcut, even when you tell her explicitly to do scissor-over-comb, go somewhere else! read more

Kim's Friendly Cuts - This is the butcher job she did. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

I really needed a haircut, and my regular hairdresser was not available, so I decided to go here with a recommendation from my mother. I had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday since Kim was the only one working. Since my hair was super long, she had me brush my own hair out and stand up when she cut my hair off, but then I sat down and she did a great job thinning it out and making it look much nicer. It was more expensive than my previous cuts, but it was worth it since it felt so nice to have it shorter and thinner. I heard that she is moving to a different salon next month. read more

I asked my husband to take my sons here based on the community's recommendation. I expected them to come back delighted but my husband said to me "don't ask me to go there again, the lady sucks" as soon as I opened the door. My husband said since my son didn't know how short he liked his hair cut so he suggested starting with #5. After that, husband saw that son's hair was still long so he asked if she could trim more. She said she could but she would charge for another cut ($15 more). My husband tried to tell her since it wasn't the length they wanted, she needed to cut more without charging extra. She said since her price was already cheap so she wouldn't fix after it was done. My husband told her "forget it" and decided not to have my other son had his hair cut. read more

I have been going to Kim's Friendly Cuts for 10 years. I was here this past Wednesday for a cut & color, & I just sit right down & let Kim work her magic. She is going to be relocating so she cut a bit more off my hair as it will be awhile before she opens on July 1st, in Kenmore. I came away loving my hair!! My husband also has been using Kim's services & always looks good. Kim is so very friendly, Kind, & compassionate to make Me, & others feel beautiful!!! I hope Kim gets to enjoy a little time before she opens her new shop as she works 7 days a week. Congratulations on your new adventure, Kim. :-) read more

Quick and easy! Kim understood what I was going for and got my hair cut and looking good! Really glad she opened up so close by. I had been going to Great Clips by the Safeway previously, and she has similar prices but way more skills! read more

I'm so happy I found Kim! I've tried out many other places in the area to get my hair cut over the years and now I no longer have to keep searching! Kim is fast, friendly and does a great job. If you're in need of a great haircut at a fair price, Kim's the place to go! read more

Kim is amazing! My Mom is here visiting and was feeling really embarassed about her hair. Kim got her in right away and did a great job! Mom and I are so happy with the results! Kim's salon is very clean and organized, and she was very professional. read more

GO HERE! Just moved to the area and needed to find a new place to get a haircut. I tried a couple local places and was extremely disappointed with what I got for what I paid until Kim's. Besides the fact that she is super kind and seemingly a wonderful person, she cuts hair very well. She cut my hair exactly how I wanted it and made some recommendations to change my style a bit and it matched so well with my face/head shape and my haircut looks great. The location is tucked into a small shopping center, but it is extremely well kept and clean inside with plenty of parking. While I was waiting there were kids getting haircuts (boys and girls) and Kim seemed to work with the kids effortlessly. She was patient and kind with them just like a sweet mom! I am extremely pleased with my haircut and will continue to patronize this business and bring my boys as well! Kim, I'm going to be your new regular read more

I was from out of town and needed a haircut. I found this place. I got a wonderful haircut and shampoo from Kim. Definitely be back..

What a lovey experience! Kim seems to love cutting hair and doesn't waste any time. She listens well to what is wanted and follows through. It was fun, quick and we love the result. Thank you, Kim!! *Wears mask and gloves. read more

Kim is the best. She is extremely affordable and loves my kiddos every time we see her. We are saddened to be leaving the state and will miss her. Thank you Kim for always being such a professional and all around good person. I appreciate a place to get a haircut that doesn't hurt the pocket book, extremely clean, and no appointment needed. You are a great asset to the Bothell community. read more

I am so happy with Kim's Friendly Cuts. Kim is very friendly and always does a great haircut at a fair price.

ZERO stars! She ruined more than my day. Thanks for insiting your dye job is medium brown. It's glowing black jet black so bad it looks blue. Instead of offering to fix it she argued with me. Not only did she ruin my day, its my husband's 60th birthday. ​I am imbarrassed to go out of my house until it's fixed. My scalp is glowing blue. I called her after I got home and dried it and she never offered to fix it and only argued. read more

It can be hard to find an affordable stylist/barber in the Bothell area. I was glad to find Kim's and her skill and pricing are right on point. Highly recommend! read more

Fast, friendly, and perfect! Desperately needed a trim since it has been 8 months since last trim. So glad I was recommended to try her! Was in and out quickly, she was able to take the two inches off that I asked for and was nice and even. I highly recommend. read more

I should have got up and left after watching her cut 3 heads in 30 mins! I cut hair for 10 year. Worked at Marine bases, barbershops, and sports clips. Doesn't matter how cheap your prices are. To keep your clients coming back you give them a good service. Which sucked! My hair cut is simple. But you run your clipper once up the sides will not get every single hair. But no she passed up the sides once then blended the sides to the top. I like the taper look so to a hair cutter is simple but you still have to take your time. Then the top, finger length then blend it to the sides. I asked her to go through the top again she did but her attitude changed and she started to upset. I'm so upset about my haircut I'm shacking. So she when she was done she held up the mirror. One tip I would hand the mirror to the client and face the back of their heads towards the mirror. It shows all the flaws of the hair cut! For the people that left her 5 stars must be regulars and don't know a good hair cut. And everyone else they know what they got a horrible haircut and service. read more

Like many of you, I decided to go here based on reviews and I think I may have had a one off not so great experience? Willing to come back again as it is quick and inexpensive for a trim. As far as conversation goes, well If you like blunt people, Kim is the person for you but I felt like I was getting lectured on my highlights and why didn't I leave my hair alone to it's natural color and that's why it's so damaged. It was strange, I came for a trim but don't remember asking for an opinion. read more

Not going back because of her attitude! Does not pay attention to the customer's need. While waiting for our turn, I saw her being rude to another customer when they asked for a shorter haircut. Thought of leaving, but since we needed a haircut badly, we waited. She was very unfriendly! Her attitude is not worth the OK-ish haircut we got! read more

Although we never got our hair done here, we had our foot in the door. No customers present. My friend needed her hair untangled, washed and trimmed. At first owner said "you should be happy only one here because this will take time." And then she said "I won't make money on this" and refused us. Is that right of her? I don't think so. So we want to Phoenix hair salons and found one available. Not only did I pay the salon person the $65 cost but I tipped her $60 cash. If Kim knew money sometimes doesn't speak volumes but kindness does, it may have been worth a big tip. So here's that big tip to you. Please remember. Treat others with respect and kindness. read more

I was able to walk right in and get my 5 year old a cut in 15 minutes. She gave me solid advice on the cut I wanted for my daughter (chin length bob) and then gave her a super cute cut. Pros- She's fast. She's direct - tells you the truth not what you want to hear. I had a couple of pics from Pinterest and she let me know that those adorable haircuts require full blowout and some curling and, yeah, there's no way I'm doing all of that before school. So she gave my girl something much more practical for easy maintenance for a fidgety 5 year old. Finally she gives a good haircut. Cons - she does not wash their hair, which honestly is fine. She sprays it to get it wet and then styles. Her bed side manner is blunt - but she is still friendly and polite. She's not a walk on egg shells kind of gal. Anyway, I was so impressed, I took my older daughter (7) to get her hair cut after school. It was a Friday afternoon, so a little busier, we were still in and out in 25 minutes even having to wait. For me time is money. Speaking of money she is super affordable. So inexpensive, quality cut and no appointment commitment is perfect for a kids haircut place. read more

Been going to Kim's every 3 weeks for a color and a cut for about a year now. Been very happy every single time. She is a kind hard working woman who cares about her customers and knows them by name. read more

Come get your haircut here. Kim is amazing, and does such a great job cutting. Her prices are extremely reasonable as well which is a bonus. Come support a local shop that is fantastic! read more

She refused to wash my hair saying it's the weekend and she can only do cuts without wash and she has no help. Also, kept saying that's why her prices are low because she doesn't wash hair or do full service. Saw her being very friendly with the regulars. Her shop is filled with products and she has two hair washing stations! Felt unwelcome :( Not going back read more

I desperately needed a haircut! I had just moved to Bothell and wanted to find a shop I could call my place. I needed flexibility for the weekends, walk in and preferable a fairly quick cut. Kim is super friendly, made it super safe, and fairly quick. It was my first time, so not the perfect cut, but darn close, and I'm sure with just a few more visits, she'll get to know me and how I like my hair cut. This will be my place. Please support this independent shop, you can't go wrong! read more

I moved back to Bothell about six years ago and was looking for a new salon. I found Kim's and decided to give her a try. I am very picky about my hair, (what can I say, I am a hairdresser's daughter). My father passed away a long time ago. If you are looking for a great hairdresser that does wonderful cuts, GO HERE! Kim's prices are more than reasonable and the salon is very clean. She runs her salon all by herself. She is fast, but not too fast, and does a really nice job. She is also a very nice person. I will not go anywhere else to get my hair cut. LOVE HER! Edit: I also wanted to add that, yes, if Kim has time she will absolutely take the extra time with you to dry and style your hair. In the past when no one else was in line - I have asked her to dry and style my hair after the haircut. She did that for me and she did a beautiful job. read more

This is a very good hair salon. Anytime I am there, there is no wait so it is easy. You don't have to call in. She is friendly just like the name of the salon. read more

Kim is great. Does not do reservations, just first come first serve. Been going here for years.

Good for men haircut. Not for female. Had to take my daughter here during pandemic times. Was super unhappy with haircut. If you need simple ones, try Kim's Friendly Haircut But need anything stylish, don't risk going here. read more

Kim was really nice and quick with cutting my hair. I showed pictures of what I wanted and she just went at it. Even though I was expecting more layers, I ended up liking my sharp ends in the end.

i like how Kim has her opinion and says right away if it is going to work or not. My boyfriend was the guinea pig and got his hair cut first. She almost acts like an aunt that you have know for so long and she is not afraid to tell you her thoughts. She cuts hair really well because other people leave patches or have that awkward graduation on the sides but that wasn't the case with her. read more

Kim has been doing an amazing job for a long time! I've been seeing "Auntie" Kim to get my hair cut for almost 10 years. I've moved away and back a few times and have kept getting my hair cuts from her. She is very sweet and always puts a smile on her customers faces, I see it every time I stop by! She does a great job listening to what I want each time. She's consistent and always does the little things to have me walking out with a sharp hair cut every visit. I always recommend to go see Kim! read more

Kim was very helpful to me and my boyfriend when we went there to get haircuts! She is an experienced lady who is not afraid to give her opinion on what will and will not look good for a hairstyle on you. I was indecisive when I went into the salon but she helped me decide and gave me a very cute haircut. My boyfriend even said that was one of the best haircuts he ever got as well. Would go again. read more

My experience was okay to good but not the best. Better than GreatClips by a little. Mixed feelings with Kim, she's cool and all but I almost feel like she just does whatever is easier for her. Haircut only took like 10 minutes and I didn't really get what I wanted. I wanted a fade but she recommended me not to or something. Barely a touch up.. had to try and cut more myself when I got home. Won't be coming back. read more
