I normally used to just go wherever and hope it went well, but after going to her I just kept her as my stylist because she is so personable, she listened to my concerns and gave me her honest opinions about my ideas. She has been in the business of hair for a super long time, so she knows what she is talking about. She does a wonderful job with color and cuts. She was my stylist for my wedding as well. Her work is amazing and she is very respectful, professional and wonderful to talk to. Once you find a gem like her for a stylist you never wanna go to another stylist again. Though I am sad to see her leave California, mint hair studio has gained such a wonderful person in their group and i highly recommend you book her.

Madison H was so supportive and talked me through what to expect and maintenance tips to handling my short new hairdo. The thing I appreciated was her advice to do my hair transformation in two parts. She purposed this idea so that I could see and experience my hair half way short rather than going straight to a full bob and then being stuck with something that I regretted. After 6 weeks of enjoying the first step and feeling no regrets I was so excited for the final cut that ended up being the cutest bob! Madison H clearly understands the importance of her role in helping people like me by giving us what we dream of while being realistic.

Tomoko is AMAZING. I've been to Tomoko twice so far, once for a haircut and once for hair color and…read moreI was extremely satisfied both times! She is very talented with what she does and very very attentive to make sure to get you what you want. We always have fun conversations as well. I'm Asian and our hair isn't the easiest to work with. I usually get my hair done when I visit Korea (but then COVID happened) or choose to find a Korean salon here, but I wasn't able to find one in Seattle nearby that lived up to my expectations. I also don't change my hair much - last time I got it chemically treated was almost 3 years ago, which I think makes chemical treatments tricky. Bleaching prior to coloring took a VERY LONG time but Tomoko was very patient with me and made sure we achieved the color I wanted. And despite bleaching for quite a while, I don't feel like my hair was damaged much (if at all). Oh, and oh my god, the head massage while washing my hair was A M A Z I N G. I think it was the best head massage I've ever gotten and I sort of wished I could stay there forever. The salon isn't big, but very well prepped for the pandemic (they check for your temperature prior to entering the salon, ask to wash your hands, everyone wears a mask and currently they don't use a blowdryer to dry your hair to minimize risks - they used a bonnet hood attachment for me) and I felt safe during both my appointments. As for pricing, it definitely isn't cheap but I think the salon lives up to the price and everything is transparent and as listed on their website.

Yuka was so accommodating, and she's great at what she does. They put in a lot of safety measures because of the pandemic, including doing a temperature check, having you wash your hands before you can get service done, and they've also made sure that everything is sparkling clean. I felt safe and well-taken care of the whole time I was here. I'm so excited to have finally found my hairstylist in Seattle! I can't recommend Berry Berry and Yuka enough.

She's incredibly detail-oriented and especially great with Asian hair and cutting layers. She consistently makes my hair look voluminous and healthy. Olivia is also super sweet and speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

The salon is also very affordable for a cut, wash, and blowout. I've recommended Olivia to three friends already, and they all loved their haircuts.

It was thick, coarse, dull and full of split ends. I came across great Yelp reviews and thought I would make an appointment to try out a new place. Surely, i was not disappointed! Olivia began thoroughly washing my hair, with a nice scalp massage too. Once done and in the chair, we then discussed the style being I was looking for: long u shaped with lots of layers and face framing pieces. She used only scissors, no razors. Hair was wet and she sectioned off the hair to blow dry and cut. After she was done cutting, she used a flat iron to show me how to style the layers to make it look fresh and full of volume! It looks absolutely beautiful. I look so much younger too! Thank you so much Olivia! I highly recommend her for your haircuts and all other hair needs!

I spent over $600 at this salon and left with a haircut and color that were both significantly worse than when I arrived. I was initially recommended to Meg by the salon staff, so I trusted that she was an appropriate stylist for what I was asking for. Unfortunately, she ran out of time during my appointment and rushed through the service. My color was left uneven, and her attempt to correct it with a toner was also rushed. When I got home, my hair was visibly uneven in tone and color. The haircut was shocking. One side was approximately four inches longer than the other, and large sections had been chopped into blunt, uneven pieces despite my explicitly asking for that not to be done. It was so poorly cut that I could not wear my hair down. The appointment itself was also unnecessarily uncomfortable. At one point, two people were drying my hair simultaneously, pulling and tugging in opposite directions. It was painful and felt incredibly rushed and chaotic. Even the products I purchased were incorrect. I was given two conditioners instead of a shampoo and conditioner and had to return to exchange them. I immediately contacted the salon about the haircut and color. I was given another appointment with Meg to address the problems, but the correction made things worse: my hair was darkened several shades beyond what I had requested, while the haircut remained visibly uneven. At that point, I contacted the salon multiple times asking for help resolving the situation. I received no response. I eventually called and was told that my concerns would be discussed and that someone would contact me the following day. That was three days ago. Still nothing. This is what I find most unacceptable. Mistakes happen. What matters is how a business handles them. I was willing to give this salon a second chance, willing to have them correct the work, and willing to communicate directly to resolve the situation. Instead, after spending more than $600, I was essentially ignored. The combination of poor workmanship and a complete lack of follow-through from the salon is unacceptable at this price point. I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere if you are looking for a salon that stands behind its work and responds when a customer has a legitimate problem.

First, the actual price when I went to pay was more than what it said on the website and what it said at the time of the booking. I was surprised that the haircut itself only took about 10 minutes, and I am not sure if the length was checked. Once I washed my hair (a couple of days later) and it was straight again, I noticed that the left side was shorter than the right and reached out to the stylist. The stylist said she would just round out the right side to match the left. I mentioned that I wanted to grow out the left side a bit before having corrections made because I didn't want any more length taken off. She said that that would count as a whole new haircut. Since I just paid for one, I didn't think that "solution" was reasonable at all.

It's been a while since I've written one of these for a haircut but this one was awesome.

It's been a week now since getting it cut, and sometimes when you do that first week (or even first wash) you have a moment where you're like "hey where'd all the cool haircut go, it's just mush again?" NOT SO. This one maintains great movement and texture even with just blow drying it the night before and tossing texturizer in it in the morning (which I got at a discount thanks to their welcome package). I also loved seeing all the different types of neighborhood people around--not just like fancy people getting their hair done but a really wide spectrum from older dudes to younger NB folx and femmes. TLDR: Great experience with a haircut from Andy (pic attached if you're interested) and really enjoyed the salon itself
