    Janet Y.

    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!!

    This is the butcher job she did.

    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!

    Nicely cut (about 4-5 inches off) and thinned out

    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.

    Had a lovely experience with a haircut for my son and myself. We visited after an year and came back with hair styles that received a ton of compliments. I love Kim's for it's no-frills approach.Not much has changed with the place and happy to see COVID protocols in place. Love this local salon .

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

You also are asking me to wait until Tuesday for the review when my concerns were brought on Friday. Worst. Haircut. Ever. If you would like to waste 2 hours on a haircut that should have been completed in 45 minutes, all while listening to far too personal baby daddy stories shared by your nice, but unskilled, stylist, then this is the salon for you! What was that? Should I have said something? Well, I did. That's when the less than 100% fabulous customer service kicked in. I sent photos and messages documenting the haircut. I asked for a refund. After all, that was $90 for the haircut that looks like the craft scissor haircut my friend's daughter gave herself when she was 5. They want to "fix" it. There's barely any hair left to "fix" and also, no. You have lost my trust. Just refund the money. Here's my story: I chose one of my reference images (the one with green highlights) directly from their website based on cut and type of color, highlights with a fashion color. What could possibly go wrong? There is a person there who literally can cut the cut I want the picture proved it, right? The scheduler said she knew exactly who to book me with, but let's do a color consultation first for $60. I countered with, let's schedule the cut and the stylist, and I can discuss color then. At my appointment, I showed the stylist a carefully curated set of images, cut images, and the cut I wanted in pics of me when I had that cut. This is important because, I should back up and say I was asking for a pixie cut. I explained that I wanted my already short hair to be styled into a long banged, messy pixie with wispy tendrils by my ears. This would require trimming bangs, texturizing the longer "bob" sides and back. An hour in, I knew far too much about her personal life, and half my hair was clippered and way too short. Then she said, " Hey, maybe we should leave the other side as it is (when I came in)". Um, what? I asked to see the back. It had been clippered and the long hair on top laid on it like a rug. Zero texture. Um... the back of my head looks like a triangle? Can you please fix it? She did, kinda. Now, it's at mile marker two hours, and I am late. She was still not done. I told her I had to go and that I would have to settle for what I have. I left, put my hat on, and cried. But that was after I was also charged a service fee to tip. Next comes the customer service: After work, I took my hat off to discover that you could see my scalp in places. I have virtually no bangs, and it is waaaaay worse than I thought. I immediately emailed with pics. Their response, thanks for the feedback. I called and asked someone from their leadership to call me back. Nope, no call. Fast forward to the next day and several emails later, and the owner said you can either come in (next week) or "this matter is closed". Charming. I've had pixie cuts for 20 years. This was not a texture things or even a miscommunication. It was a failure of the scheduler, the stylist, and ultimately the owner. That stylist needs to be trained better and should have never been given me as a client. And the owner, well, just rude. When did customer service become so rare? Guess they must be doing well if they don't need new customers. There's more, but I am tired of typing. I don't usually leave reviews. Update: to be clear I did not decline the review. I declined a review without the possibility of a refund. You also are asking me to wait until Tuesday for the review when my concerns were brought on Friday.

    Ariel is a fantastic hairdresser. Great person, smart and funny. She can do anything.read more
