I haven't worn braids in several years and had the luxury of having a friend braid my hair when needed until she moved out of state. I found myself looking for a new place to get my hair braided. Friends recommended several people and places, but I settled on Mr. Naturalz. It was local and I'd walked by it many times, but didn't realize they also offered braiding service. What I liked is that their prices were listed up front and stated what was included. I loved that the price included a wash/dry as a lot braiders I contacted did not not offer this. The shop has a low key, friendly vibe. Very clean, great artwork. Everyone was welcoming. My appointment was with Eka and she was amazing. On time, friendly and she got busy! My appointment was at 9:00 and I was out of there around 12:45. I was very happy with the end result and booked my next appointment before I left. I highly recommend Eka if you are looking to get your hair braided. She is quick, professional and has a really open personality which makes for great conversation. (I have not taken a pic to demonstrate the artistry, but will add one later) read more

This place is great! Eka styled me before a trip and it was a lovely experience. I will be back!

Great vibe in the salon, expert technicians, very professional. I would highly recommend this salon.

I've been a client here since 2020. Mr. Naturalz started my local journey and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Ruben and his staff are consistent, hardworking, friendly, professional, and the environment is amazing. Highly recommended! read more

Rueben's service is always on point! I started coming here when I still had my locs now I'm sporting single strand twist. The atmosphere is relaxed and if your wearing a natural style I'd highly recommend Mr. Naturalz Salon! read more

Have been coming here ever since the beginning of Mr Naturalz and Ruben is the one that always take care of my hair. He is very professional and very knowledgeable with everything to do with hair. Even after cutting my locs last September 2025 which I have had since 2008, am still coming back for Ruben to do my haircut and coloring. Thanks for always taking care of my hair Ruben! read more

I recently found Mr. Naturalz and I am sold! This is my new spot for color and trims for my natural, curly hair. Starting with the whole booking process, updates and general correspondence I feel like my time and decision to come is valued. Next, the calm and relaxing vibe, extra cleanliness, luxury, comfortable chairs, and product selection receive 5 stars! As to my service, quality and pricing were beyond excellent. I'm a new repeat customer and am scheduling my regular colors now! How did I not know about this place??! read more

Amazing service!! Has been very patient with me reconstructing my locs. Everyone is pleasant and down to earth! Service on time and worth the money. Thank you to all the receptionists and loctitions!!! read more

I recently visited Mr Naturalz for the first time. I had my own products for the wash and requested a retwist. I had several locks that needed to be repaired. 2 weeks later every loc that was repaired fell out, and my hair looks worse than it did before the appointment. The most disappointing salon visit I have ever endured in over 40 years and the most expensive. read more

Easiest and most pleasant consultation. I'm set to get my microloc maintenance complete! Thank you, ​Shaporia and Ruben!

Sephora did an excellent job, she is my go-to person for services and she takes her time with the style and makes sure it's at standard. and her vibe is legit cool and the salon is the Place to go. read more

I love Mr. Naturalz, they are always pleasant. They usually have a great playlist playing. My stylist is usually on time and she is great at styling my hair and coming up with styles that I really like. They have products and hair scarf for sale to protect your hair and styles. read more

My 8 year old daughter was seen a little over a month ago at this salon. They let an incompetent man, who never introduced himself to me or my child cut my kids hair off while the owner Rueben was at the front desk and watched it happen. When I asked Rueben to make it right he seemed put out and tried to have the original man re-do it. I told him I was uncomfortable and Rueben finally fixed it. Rueben agreed it wasn't what was discussed with him prior to the cut. At check out, he tried to make it seem like he made it better by not charging me the 20% that remained after my deposit. I happened to have another appointment the next day for my other daughter. I was approached by 2 other artists who were concerned I was having this man (who I still don't know his name because he never introduced himself) cut my other daughters hair. Lucky he was only doing her take down. I started asking questions and it became apparent that this man either sabotaged my daughters hair or he doesn't have a license. Reuben, it was so bad your employees texted each other about the hair cut situation and were appalled that you allowed this to happen. So you either have someone who is willing to give a terrible haircut to an innocent child because they don't like their parents or someone who has zero cutting skills and has absolutely no business being in a salon. My kids were in the foster system, I'm used to having to fight for them. Shame on you for being the person I have to fight against. read more

This place is awesome in so many ways. The ambiance, communication, vibe, styling, and people are just cool and helpful with questions you might have about hair products and advice on hair health and maintenance. I love my stylist who is very attentive and caters to my hair needs. Plus she's funny and keeps it real with you. read more

I scheduled an instantloc install with Ita after several recommendations from friends. She was booked solid so I had to schedule out a couple months but no big deal since it gave my hair some time to grow a bit more (and save up some $$$). My appointment was her only one that day and she worked her butt off from 9am to almost 6pm and she absolutely KILLED it. My locs are tight, consistent in size, sturdy, the parting was EXACTLY what I wanted, and I left extremely happy with the finished product. Even with the long appointment time Ita did not cut any corners and made sure to give me the full meal deal, and even though we went over time a little bit she honored the original price given at consultation. I really enjoyed my experience at Mr. Naturalz. The vibe in the salon was super laid back but they also maintained professionalism without giving off a pretentious vibe. It felt like getting my hair done at a cousin's house. I'm coming back for maintenance in 6 weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing my new friends again! read more

Since I can't seem to add a comment response to the private message you reposted even after the situation was clarified and you took responsibility for the miscommunication I will simply post my response you've also already seen here. I hope as your company grows you take the constructive criticisms here and utilize them to make your business greater rather than make excuses and try to accuse your customers of making mistakes when you should make sure the customer is always satisfied. Your last response to me taking responsibility for the miscommunication should have been the last response in my opinion as a professional. But all the beat to you and yours. We will not be back and I'm positive you do not care. Hi Reuben, I did not book with a trainee. My appointment was made in June and was not set with any person in particular. As far as I knew you and Inka were the only stylists. I also clarified what I needed to Diosa on the phone yesterday which I reiterated to you upon my arrival. I was unsure why she was still confused about it when it was time to total up but did not offer any fuss about it. If she is a trainee then that should be discussed with the client beforehand. Diosa is very kind and I'm sure she must have simply misunderstood what I was asking for or maybe you call a trim and press something else but that is what I asked for when she confirmed the appointment. She said it was for wash and braided style. I requested she change it to press and trim. She also said you would have time after her appointment to do my consultation. All eluding to you being the one to take care of all three of us. Confirming I never chose a trainee that I never knew existed. Your shop is clean and you all are friendly. I'm sorry you do not agree with my review about he prices or my daughters service. My son is always pleased with you. I'm just trying to give an honest review because I do feel I threw away money on my daughter since I have to redo it anyway. read more

Update: Another appointment under the belt. Everything went flawless as expected. This round the service that was recommended and everyone has been raving about was received!!!! Multi ways to contact the establishment, suggest you follow on other social media platforms to ensure you are receiving upto date information. Thank Mr. Naturals salon and stylist for coming through with this flawless appointment. read more

Fast and friendly Service and always great conversation. It's always worth the trip from the Tri Cities to get our hair done.

Come to Mr. Naturalz Salon first. I started locs 3 weeks ago. And went to another salon to do it as I live in Everett. I was told that I could not start my locs with comb coils. I trust my stylist and went with it. My stylist told me to not wash my locs for six months? What? That doesn't sound right. Encouraged by my bff to just get a second opinion and by a random stranger I called Mr. Naturalz and got in. Ika interlocked & palm rolled my hair. Sat my under the dryer and styled it in under 2 hours. Did you hear what I said? I made it to Renton had my hair done & home in a shorter time it would take me to go to a stylist 5 minutes down the road. I was treated by professionals at Mr. Naturalz. They explained the importance of washing my hair and did say if I hadn't started budding already I'd be fine to start locs with comb coils. This is a Black owned business that has their affairs in order and understands your time is valuable & so is your crown. I have scheduled my next two appointments & look forward to spreading the word about this outstanding salon. Book your appointment now! You will not be disappointed. Fees are reasonable & I look beautiful. read more

I understand a late fee. I don't understand 70 % to 75% of the cost $138 then to reschedule the next day. another $180 and I have 40 mins worth of hair. It's been a learning experience for sure. Moving on. Just the response I expected from reading other responses from you. But no mention of the more then 2 hrs I spent there on my second visit. As I said I understand paying a cost for accidentally missing an appointment and I'm also allowed to say and feel like the cost was extreme no matter who has paid it!' read more

Hello, my daughter is 7 and has very super coily thick curly coarse hair. And I'm looking to get it relaxed so her curls are Bouncy and long .

Mr. Naturalz Salon - The result of my retwist - Hair Salons Near Me - Renton, Washington

From the moment you walk in here you feel right at home. From the receptionist and stylist make you feel like you are the most important person. The level of professionalism is superior. My stylist Eka really listens to my needs and I can never go wrong with her suggestions. I love the music and the vibe. They are always on schedule. Keep up the good work. I will always be a customer read more

These reviews are clearly inflated. This is the most disgusting business I have ever dealt with. They run late by several hours. They do shoddy work. They gleefully take your money and let you walk out looking worse than you came in. And to top it all off, they committed credit card fraud and charged me months later for a service that I never received. Save yourself the trouble and the money and never mess with this business. I'll be taking my woes with this company to the Better Business Bureau. Oh, forgot to mention that they called me at the last minute to switch my stylist for my appointment because the original stylist (the owner, Rueben who let me walk out looking ridiculous) was apparently not accepting new clients even though his schedule was available to book. The only positive thing to come from this experience is my new professional and absolutely lovely loctician that I only tried elsewhere after my run in with this horrible "business". Stay far away. read more

Ita!!!!!! Is amazingggg hands down....she knows what she's doing and about your hair. I can't give it a full 5 star because they receptionist ran my card without letting me tip my girl.... I don't know if she assumed I wasn't going to tip but that wasn't coo especially for your stylist. read more

My first-time client review: I walked in 10mins before the appointment, which was at 11:45 am, and was greeted by a receptionist. Had waited for 15mins and was told by the receptionist my stylist would be with me at 10mins. While observing, the salon was clean, and music was playing. I was seen at noon and was greeted by Merline. She was very knowledgeable and walked me through her steps. She also educated me on how to take better care of my locs. I loved the studio's standing mirrors bolted to the floor per seat. I've never seen anything like that before. It was nice because it allowed me to watch the process. Everyone was professional and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and had a good vibe. For me, this is a big thing because most black hair stylists/salons that I've been to have been unprofessional. If I have an appointment and arrive 10mins prior, I should not have to wait 45mins because you need to eat. It's ridiculous and rude! I also enjoyed the tactfulness of all of the stylists. In the past, I have seen stylists "clown" their clients and make them feel bad if they weren't taking care of their hair correctly. This causes embarrassment and can make the client feel insecure about their hair. Our hair is our crowns, and for someone from the same community to shame someone is uncalled for. Mr. Natural salon was not the case. Instead of jumping to conclusions, they provide helpful feedback on how to take care of your hair. Since this is my first set of locs, the education, including tips, was beneficial. It makes me feel good that I found a BIPOC salon that only focuses on providing healthy hair service for natural hair. I reside in Tacoma, and I am willing to make the drive to this studio; that says a lot. read more

Ruben is the best thanks for getting me in and out in no time! I will forever be a loyal customer to Mr. Natural Salon!

Just as I expected - my visit to Mr. Naturalz Salon was on point after reopening. The salon was spotless. The sanitation procedures throughout my appointment was non-intrusive and helped me feel safe. Getting my hair done is a time of relaxation.

First I want to say I usually don't write reviews good or bad but this situation just doesn't sit right with me. So to start I had a 9am appointment. Me & another client waited outside for like 15 could've been 20 mins but I don't want to exaggerate before anyone showed up. I also want to add that I rode the bus over an hr to get to the appointment. So the receptionist showed up first. No hello no sorry didn't tell either one of us like Hey your stylist is on their way. Ok so we waiting maybe like another 5 mins or so. The first stylist showed up for the other person that was there. It was apparent he was a regular from the conversation I heard them having. After another min or two here comes my stylist. I should also add I initially made my appointment for 9:30 & they asked if I could come at 9 because of the services I asked for. No hello no apology just got started ok cool. I got this package deal which was 165 plus an add on service & left a $10 tip. I paid a total of $210. She washed my hair I got a deep condition a hot oil treatment and interloc & maintenance. After she was finish interlocing my hair. She only palm rolled the top of my hair. She didn't add any product to it. Usually when you about to go under the dryer to finish. Stylist out something in your hair & wrap it up so it lays down. She didn't do that. I also had two locs in the back that had grown together. Like they're flat & don't look like the rest of my locs. She didn't even fix it just interlocked it like it was ok. I wouldn't be complaining but the amount of money it costs I expect a better job. Not only that if I would've been late or cancelled there would've been a fee. It's just wild that I didn't get the proper service because my stylists was late. And this was my first time like seems like you would want to make a good impression. There was a male stylist that came in. He seemed to be in time for his client. He was nice he came in spoke to his co workers. Even though they barely spoke back. My coat was in his chair. He took it hung it up for me. I mean my stylist didn't even offer. I also watched him while I was under the dryer & I wish he was the one doing my hair. I won't say the stylists name but she definitely needs to step her game up. Needless to say I will not be returning. read more

From my first visit I felt it was a bit unprofessional waiting part my appointment scheduled. I kept my opinion to myself then. Meeting my stylist she as well the owner Ruben when I came back to pick up my water bottle didn't greet or speak once I walked in or asking questions while I made eye contact waiting , if he would even acknowledge me before I went ahead and grabbed my bottle from behind the front counter . TODAY I scheduled an appointment for @4:45pm. This is my second visit to the salon. Shaporia started my starter locs and today retwisted my locs. Shaporia greeted me and made positive comments on my hair "the only conversation made" between us. Once placing me under the dryer minutes pasted. I noticed stylist were getting everything picked up to end their day, my stylist Shaporia made my visit even more unprofessional by leaving me under the dryer and she told me she was LEAVING for the rest of the night and someone I don't know would un clip me. WITH NO STYLE I EASILY NOTICED MY PARTS ARE UN EVEN AND NOT TO MY LIKING .... My Retwist is fine, the parting I'll score a 7/10. I only made this review because EVERYONE LEFT ! I couldn't even correct this with Ruben the owner at the time I will not come back is it too much for professionalism? read more

Mr. Naturalz Salon - Some you can see smaller than others parts not clear or crisp. - Hair Salons Near Me - Renton, Washington

I went for the first time to have my locs washed and retwisted. My stylist/loctician was Ita pronounced Ika. She did exactly what I asked. I'm very pleased with my hair. I just wanted a wash and retwist but no style. She was kind enough to fix my parts cuz they were jacked up. I try to wash and retwist my own hair and I never get it to look like this. I'm so appreciative. Now it's not cheap to have locs so starting price is on their website. I did give a 20% tip because I knew my hair was a jungle. I like Ita's approach, not too talkative and she got it done. She fit my personality and that's important. I'm 50 YO and I talk all day so chatting a lot is not my bag. I can sense her confidence with my hair so I didn't need to say much but apologize for the hard work she's going to do. I do plan on returning but I can't come every 4-6 weeks but maybe every two months or longer as long as I'm in the state. I prefer a look that doesn't show my scalp. Also my bangs are not locked by preference. Now remember with these pics, I started my own locs and she did me a favor fixing my parts. My hair type is 3b/c read more

I was very disappointed by Mr. Naturalz's lack of professionalism. I made my appointment with them a month in advance. Three days before my appointment, they called and were confused about my scheduled time being 9 am or 11 am. (It was 9 am.) Then the day of my appointment, they cancelled my slot less than 30 minutes before my scheduled time. They sent the cancellation via text message. The assistant manger called me hours later to try and reschedule, but by then I had already found another salon. read more

I'll start off with saying what a welcoming layout they have inside, as well as being very professional looking. The staff were very nice and easy to talk to. I went in yesterday to get my first set of high top locs and my loctician did an amazing job, I love how it looks already. I have a very dry scalp and I've never been able to help that but looking at it now it's never been so hydrated and clean. The staff made me feel really good and reassured about doing something with my hair for the first time which really felt amazing. I would 10/10 recommend to my family and friends. read more

Great place. Stylist on time did a great job. Great music, clean and professional.

I started my second lock journey two years ago and was worried about finding a place to offload the maintenance. I tried out several other spots before finding Mr Naturalz and just wasn't satisfied. Reuben and his team are very professional, on time and excellent at what they do. Reuben did my maintenance and he also gave me some tips to help keep my hair from drying out. read more

Recently went in for a first-time color. The stylist Lyric drastically messed up my hair color 3 different times and unnecessarily bleached it. I was very kind and patient throughout the whole process but at this point the Manager Rubin had decided to cut his losses with all the money they had to invest to try to fix my hair and told me that I had chosen the hair color they messed up and if I didn't like it, I would have to pay. At this point my hair had been processed 5 different times, I had spent 8 hours at the shop 3x because the style was not sure of what she was doing, and she was taking clients in between me. I expressed to him my frustration, communicated with him my lack of trust in their ability to give me the color I was asking for and told him the least they could do was dye my hair back to its natural color. He refused. I asked for a full report of everything that was done to my hair to take to another stylist in hopes to safely get my hair fixed (which I did). A couple of days later I received a text from the salon saying that he had talked to the other manager and would waive the labor fee, but I would still have to pay the cost of the color. Now why in the world would I not only let them attempt to dye my hair again but also pay for their mistakes? To the owners and stylist Lyric of Mr.Naturalz shop, take more pride in your work. If you messed up, FIX IT no matter how much money it takes to do so. And to anyone thinking of getting a color treatment from this salon, DO NOT. Thanks for reading. Thank you for taking the time to write an essay response. Dont remix what happened to save face because that shows you have no integrity. if you would have made it right behind closed doors, i would have been sharing a positive experience and not a negative one. Your response is completely unprofessional as well as how you handled the situation in real time. i genuinely hope you take my advice and take more pride in your work and having integrity in every situation so others will not have the same experience I had. Best of luck to the future of your salon, signed someone you "no longer can service as a client in the future". Sorry, i meant signed someone that would never let Mr.Naturalz ever touch their hair again. read more

You guys need to improve your commitment for the appointments that you agree to. I was rescheduled twice and ultimately was not given another time for a retwist, before my trip. The cancelation by your business was on short notice and no other stylist at this shop could accommodate me. This is all very unprofessional and to make it worse, finding a follow up appointment at this time will be challenging. read more

when i'd look at myself in the mirror, i felt that i was beautiful, but i didn't feel like me. i got recommended this salon from a good friend so i decided to come and see what they were about for myself. i felt nothing but good vibes and positive energy from rueben, so i decided that i would make an appointment to get my hair cut. the whole experience was GREAT :) i had my 3mo daughter there with me and they were understanding and kind to me and her even when she had a melt down. ANYWAY i loooove my haircut, and now when i look at myself in the mirror i still see my beauty BUT now i feel like myself~ thanks y'all. read more

Rueben and his associates dedicated about 6 hours to dread my hair (crocheted) and I couldn't be happier! Very symmetrical, tidy, and thorough. It looks fantastic. The salon itself is very clean and aesthetically pleasing! Nice decor and perfect temperature. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get starter locs! read more
