Leah was amazing and transformed my hair!! So friendly, super warm, welcoming and very good communication. My previous stylist neglected my hair and now it has turned out even better than I could imagine, very pretty, soft and healthy. If you want a stylist who genuinely cares and will really listen, this is the place to go, Leah will take great care of you and your hair! 10/10! read more

I walked in to the salon the week before and showed the stylist a picture of what I wanted. Lots of layers, like a 70's shag. She ran her fingers through my hair and said okay leave the length with layers. We made an appointment for Tuesday. I showed up an hour early. My fault but she kindly took me anyway. She asked me what we were doing. I said cutting. She said are we trimming? Now to a non-hair stylist what is the difference between cutting and trimming? I asked. She told me are wer cutting length off. I said yes, to the shoulder would be okay, that is necessary we could go to the chin. We agreed to the neckline. I said with layers framing my face. I ended up with a 1960s Barbie bubble. A big round balloon around my head. No layers. She hadn't heard a word I said. I have to pull my hair down to reach my chin. I did ask her to put in layers which she did. The actual cut is fine. But not what I asked for. It will take 6 months or more to grow out enough to get what I want. So disappointed. read more

First of all, beautiful and clean salon. Easy to make an appointment and super friendly staff. Feels like a local, community place. Just moved to the area and I feel like this is already "my place". My hair looks and feels amazing. She did exactly what I wanted and truly listened! I was considering chopping it off before I went to Mia Bella. And when it's time for that, I'm definitely going to them for cut and color. read more

High end positive salon. Spa environment relaxing, full service. I recommend this local salon.

I called in-wanting an ashy blonde Bayalage. From the prior reviews, I was excited that I got Leah. Leah is AMAZING and true to the reviews. Super friendly and courteous. Please soak up her hair knowledge--she is very honest and knowledgeable about hair health, lightening sessions, etc. I knew she cared about me because just when we thought we were about done, she noticed a little bit of brassiness that wasn't up to her standards and wanted to tone my hair again. She was working on me for 4 hours straight, whew. Thank you, Leah, for saving my ratchet hair. Leah's instagram is @hair_byy_leah if you want to see more of her work or book an appointment. For anyone concerned of their COVID-19 procedures: -they keep their doors locked and are only available by appointment -you have to sign a waiver upon arrival -mask is required in salon -sanitizer, gloves, etc. are out for your use read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I also want to preface that I never write Yelp reviews, but after such a positive experience I just had too! Due to Covid-19, like many others I hadn't had a haircut in months and well, let's just say I resorted to box dye for my roots ... so my hair was somewhat of a catastrophe! Skip to the bottom if you want to just know the tidbits about the hair ‍ Once, we moved into phase 2 and salons were allowed to open, I contacted my normal stylist in Puyallup and she seemed a little irritated, intense, and not too enthusiastic about booking clients again. I took this as the universes way of telling me to finally look for a new hairdresser, since I moved to Tukwila 2 years ago it was in theory good timing to find someone closer to home. Apparently, getting an appointment to get your hair done in a pandemic is like finding a golden ticket in a Wonka bar. Needless to say, in the beginning of June I was able to make an appointment at the beginning of JULY at a salon (not MiaBella)! Y'all I did a lot of research bc I have curly, dark, damaged...hair. Thankfully, Yelp led me to a couple close by options! The day my appointment was supposed to happen at 3:30pm, the salon I had made an appointment at called to cancel less than 2-hours before I was suppose to arrive...doesn't matter why, but they didn't think they could get me in until the following week . I was bummed, but I am pretty sure it was for the BEST... I had originally, really wanted try MiaBella in Normandy Park/Burien area and they reached back out with availability after I had booked the other place. When my appointment got cancelled at the other place I seized the opportunity to try out MiaBella, they had great reviews and had recommended Leah! THIS WAS THE BEST OVERALL HAIR EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD SINCE MOVING TO WASHINGTON! First, when I called in a total panic Leah answered the phone! She was super nice, and knew it would be hard to fit me in but did her best... her only open availability for what I wanted was the end of July... but I knew it'd be worth it! She even asked me to send pictures of my hair and what I wanted! You could just tell from the first 5-minutes of the phone convo Leah was going to be awesome! When I showed up for my appointment, I was not disappointed either! Leah was super friendly, it's a family owned salon Leah's mom was super kind as well and it was a totally welcoming environment! The salon was really nice, clean, and COVID-19 safety protocols were in full effect. Now for the important bits... I of course was like, "I need a change, I want to go lighter" Leah gave me great advice, and the best recommendation for MY hair considering the damage a la box dye! Many, stylists will fry your hair further, or not tell you realistic expectations...and at the end you are disappointed. Not here! Leah, was honest about what we could achieve and talked through a plan with me to try and combat my grays. Also, Leah should get 10-stars just for listening to me talk about my dog for 2-hours, and treating me like I actually mattered as a client BUT ALSO Y'ALL my hair came out so PRETTY! My hair felt healthier, looked shinier, and was so soft! Leah was attentive, her customer service was on-point, her hair skills were outstanding, and honestly the pricing was great! I can't wait to get my hair done at MiaBella again! read more

For the past few weeks I've been browsing different shops in the area, along with their reviews to get my hair done. In the past my go to salon was Gene Juarez (Southcenter and Bellevue locations), but their prices seemed to go up a lot since the last time I've went (3 years ago). Stumbled across a salon in my area called Mia Bella. Someone that had great reviews was Leah so I booked an appointment with her through her IG (found in the reviews). When I met Leah, INSTANTLY she made me feel comfortable. Something about her, it's just all good vibes!!!! She had a lot of suggestions and she made me feel really good about myself. I would definitely go to this salon and her again! read more

First and foremost, I've never taken the time to write a review. But here we both are, so buckle up. When covid struck, followed by the inevitable boxes--yes I said BOXES-- of Bleach kits slipping into my bored hands I had about one month before I gave up trying to fix it, two months of waiting for salons to reopen, and three hours of laboriously scrolling through yelp reviews to find the right salon. IF YOU'VE FOUND MY REVIEW: Honestly, look no further. I'm not one to gate keep, this place is gold. While there are definitely other great hairdressers out there, I challenge anyone to find one that rivals the whole package these ladies bring to the table. All are welcoming, genuine, and ready to help. Leah ultimately was the one who saved my hair. You will not find a single bad thing for me to mention as she truly has made it into an art. In the (almost) two years I've been coming to Mia Bella, Leah has taken my hair ideas and helped me bring the visions into reality. From Blonde, to Brunette, to Redhead, back to Blonde. She is not only the sweetest person, but she is able to take whatever ideas you bring to her and make them happen. Highlights, Balayage, Lowlights, Toning, and Trims all with the added perk of good conversation. When you give them a try, you will walk out of the salon with a beautiful head of hair and a couple new friends. read more

I had an appointment with Leah for some highlights and a cut. This woman is a HAIR WIZARD. She was fast and did an amazing job giving very natural looking highlights. She gave great advice for my specific hair type and was super friendly. I will definitely be coming back! read more

It was my first time coming here ever and although I heard great things about this place I never gave it a shot until now. I've never gone blonde and have been contemplating the past two years so I finally told myself that I was actually going to do it. I was honestly a little nervous because my trusting a complete stranger with my hair in hopes they'll understand what I want and how I want it. So I did my first session (left picture) a month ago, keep in mind that it's been a month since I got it done and this is what it looks like now. My hair turned out pretty light my first session and it was surprising to me and Leah since I have Asian dark hair. I didn't think it was possible for my hair to even go that light so quick considering it was my first time ever going blonde. But Leah did such an amazing job. I called first of course and made an apt and they took me right in which I really loved because most salons don't do that. So I was schedule with Leah and let me tell you, she's such an astonishing hairdresser! She really took her time to do my hair and it took about 4 - 5 hours! My hair isn't even long but she made sure I got what I wanted, how I wanted, and made sure the blonde wasn't that orangey color. She even touched up my roots when it got brassy. She's just an amazing hairdresser because of her personality and the effort she puts in to satisfy her customers. The second session (right picture) is from today, a month since my first session and I could not believe how light my hair was!! I mean could you believe it???? It really only took me two sessions just to go this blonde thanks to Leah. I made sure I got to see Leah again because of the fantastic job she did on my last session, I just had to go to her. Again, she took about four hours to do my hair and she really focused on going more blonde and lighter.She knew exactly what she was doing and how much product to use in my hair. When my hair was all foiled, she kept checking up on my hair and making sure everything was going good and also asking me if I'm doing okay etc. She touched up my roots again for the brassiness, toned my hair, and styled it! She's really such a caring person and wants you to feel comfortable while waiting for your hair to change color which I absolutely adore because most hairdressers don't really care. She even gave me a hair treatment, showed me all the products she uses, and showed me how to make my hair wavy which I think is a MAJOR PLUS in my opinion! Leah is such an amazing person and hairdresser. I'm so glad I found someone like her because she's out of this world. Leah and I instantly click and have sooo much in common. I love how we really got to know each other on a personal level because it really just shows that she's not only my hairdresser but also a friend! She's confident in what she does and she knows exactly what she's doing and how to do it. Her effort and time is more than anything I could ask for because when you're getting your hair done you really want to make sure they're not rushing and/or not caring about all the damage they're doing to your hair. But Leah cares and she's so honest and upfront which I really like because then I'm not expecting anything since she already told me what's going to happen etc. I'm so thankful that I've gone to her and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone because of how great and wonderful she is. I can't be more thankful enough to have found her, she's a goddess at what she does and I hope you guys give her the chance to show you how she works her magic! read more

Everytime I come into the salon I know I'm going to get taken care of. Everyone is always so friendly and nice during every visit. I get my hair done by Leah and she's literally the best hairdresser I've ever had! I use to go to other salons and they would always tell me I was never able to get to a light color my first session and Leah made that possible without damaging my hair, telling me step by step on what she's doing and what she's applying to my hair. Also, she gives me some home treatment advice on how to care for my hair so it doesn't damage or have breakage. The conversations are literally the best when I'm in her chair as well. Leah's personable, sweet, and is such a funny person. We're always laughing during my hair sessions. Finding a hair dresses that does it all is super hard to find and I'm so glad I found my hairdresser for life that can get me to my hair goal after each session. Thanks to Leah for being an awesome hairdresser and working so hard! read more

I've been a licensed cosmetologist since 2008 and needless to say, am super picky when it comes to my hair. Like control-freak picky. I've been doing my own root touch ups for two years now and recently decided it was time for a change. No matter how much I wish I could remove my head to do work on my own tresses, I just will never be able to. Then a friend introduced me to Amanda, her portfolio of stunning balayage and ombre pursued me to book an appointment ASAP. Amanda was the perfect person to do what I couldn't do my own hair. Amanda is your hairdresser's hairdresser. She succeed in fulfilling my vague need for change and I'm in love with my hair once again. To top it off, her prices are the best you will find in Seattle for the quality you are receiving. My partial balayage, toned and styled was reasonably-priced and I will definitely be back for more. read more

I've had Amanda cut my hair in three different styles now - and I've been VERY pleased with all her cuts, and her advice about what my fine hair will or wont do. I can't count how many people I've had cut my hair in my lifetime, and I'm very pleased to feel like I found a great fit. I really like the atmosphere at the salon too, all the staff seem pretty friendly and to be frank, I get as much self help out of my appointments there as I do at the therapist just because Amanda is so friendly. read more

This is not about the skills of the stylists but rather about the lack of professionalism of the owner, Laura. I called to make an appointment for a color and usually she would call me back right away. But recently, she ignored my multiple phone calls and my voice mail and never responded. Instead she wrote a passive aggressive post on Facebook which suggested she didn't agree with my political ideology that I expressed on Facebook. I guess she is one of those private businesses that feel they can discriminate against people based on their political views. Wow. If you think Trump is incompetent and are a liberal/progressive who speaks their mind, avoid this place. read more

Jamie Perez is my go-to hair stylist, and has been for 10 years. She is always on time, has great ideas, uses great products ( I usually have to buy the current one). I like texting to make appointments with her. It's fast and easy. Busy people sometimes respond better to texts! The salon has friendly people,a nice environment, and prices are reasonable. Located in a local shopping area, it's close to a gym, grocery store and hardware store; has restaurants, so a one -stop experience. read more

Pay $200 for NOTHING CHANGE. I have a natural dark hair color but bleached 3 years ago and colored several times. It is now a mixture of brown and dark blonde. I came in Mia Bella asking for a full balayage and I showed the hair stylist the picture that I want (the end is light blonde). After 3 hours, I ended up getting nothing change on my hair but just a little bit blonder. It is definitely not worth the money I paid for. I was hoping for a change in my hair color but I was very disappointed with their services. They told me to use the purple shampoo to lighten up the color, but I think it is just an excuse for their bad service. Staffs are fine but I think I got a bad hair stylist :( The salon on that day had such a bad smell that I kept wondering about their cleanliness! ONLY GO TO THIS SALON IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY. CHECK OTHER PLACES AND DO MORE RESEARCH. read more

This review is for Meghan Ivory: I love my hair! I got a groupon for cut & balayage and it was a great experience although I was a little hesitant because it was a groupon! I was greeted right away and everything went smoothly. I had 5 inches cut off and my hair color came out even better than I expected! She was really nice the entire time and genuine :) too bad she is moving out of the state or else she would definitely be my hair dresser!!!! She did give me a recommendation for someone else though! Maybe next time Ambience: 4/5 stars. It was a super busy Tuesday and mostly all the chairs were filled with customers! The salon got a bit loud but at least everything was nice and clean. The place to sit under the heat lamps were pretty uncomfy though and you can see through their laundry/stock room which got a little annoying, but no big deal! Pricing: 5/5 stars. their pricing is definitely way less than any salon in Seattle or Seattle area! My friends would get their hair colored for almost $200!! Here the prices are around $120. Meghan also said their toning only costs around $25 when in Seattle it would be $80! The drive to Mia Bella is worth it! read more

I had heard good things about Mia Bella from a few friends and family members. I've been on the hunt for a salon I really liked and wanted to keep going back to. My daughter and I made appointments with Britt Nicole for hair cuts. I wanted a pretty drastic change and my daughter just wanted a trim. We are both so happy with our hair! The salon was bright, clean and inviting. Britt Nicole asked what I was looking to do and made sure I was happy along the way. We both enjoyed the whole process and I really appreciated not feeling pressured to buy any products or being up sold on any services. We will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Laura and Mia Bella for years and my hair always ends up looking great! Laura and her employees are very professional, know their jobs well, and they make it a fun experience as well. Meg T. is way off on all accounts of Laura, her professionalism as well as her responsiveness. Maybe she did not get the message or it was not passed along? Laura always calls back promptly when anyone in our family leaves a message. I have the utmost respect for Laura - a single mom who raised her children, is busy with her grandchildren and built a successful business that employs many stylists. She has put all her effort and heart into this business and her clients. Highly Recommend Mia Bella for all your hair needs. read more
