Thank you SO much, Shelby!! I wanted to maintain my length while getting a retouch, and she absolutely nailed it. She was super friendly, made me feel comfortable right away, and explained everything she was doing throughout the process. My hair turned out AMAZING. I'm only visiting which I'm from out of state, but I would 100% come back whenever I'm in the area. Such a great experience from start to finish! read more

Came in here because I just moved down to the area from Bothell and needed a new spot! Instantly loved! I had Shelby who overall is so laid back and friendly and super easy to explain what you need.

Absolutely horrible experience. I went to Ricky Salon for a simple trim and left with my hair completely ruined. I clearly asked for just a small trim, but Ricky cut about 8 inches off my hair without checking. The haircut was extremely uneven with long strands sticking out everywhere. It looked rushed, sloppy, and completely unprofessional. I went back within 30 minutes because it was so obviously messed up and asked them to fix it. Instead of correcting the uneven cut, they chopped off another 2.5 inches. Now my hair is far shorter than I ever wanted and still uneven. It will take months, if not years, for my hair to grow back to the length it was. To make matters worse, the staff were rude and dismissive when I tried to explain the problem. There was no accountability and no real effort to make the situation right. This was one of the most upsetting salon experiences I have ever had. If you value your hair at all, I strongly recommend staying away from this place. read more

Honest Review - For Anyone Struggling With Thinning Hair I recently visited this salon hoping for a short, transformative haircut. I've been dealing with hair thinning due to an autoimmune condition, and I finally worked up the courage to do something bold for myself. This took me years. I walked in hopeful, nervous--but ready and excited for change. Unfortunately, I left heartbroken. The stylist didn't seem comfortable working with my hair, but instead of communicating that honestly, the situation was framed like I was the problem. I was told the styles I liked wouldn't work on me and then was only offered a couple cuts I didn't want at all. There was no collaboration. No attempt to explore options together. Just quiet dismissal that left me feeling ashamed of my hair and my choices. At one point, she told me I should only be looking at inspiration photos that match my exact hair type--which is fair, but not exactly easy--then she proceeded to pull up examples herself and say, "Well, your hair's more like this... but actually this person's hair is still thicker than yours." That kind of commentary doesn't feel helpful--it feels humiliating. Especially when you're already sitting in the chair with vulnerable hopes and a complicated relationship with your hair. I want to be clear: I'm not writing this to bash anyone. But I do hope this serves as a reminder to other stylists--if you're not experienced in working with hair like mine, it's okay to say that. Please don't make your client feel like they are the problem. A little empathy and transparency go a long way. If you're someone navigating hair thinning, please know this: it's not you. You deserve a stylist who listens, who collaborates, and who treats your hair with care and respect. After this experience, I found William Collier Design in Seattle. And the difference was immediate. The woman I met there was kind, confident, and excited to work with me. She made me feel like we were a team--like it wasn't about what I couldn't do, but what we could create together. For the first time, I felt hopeful again. That's what every client deserves. read more

honestly, i never let me hair be touched by other hairstylist for years i did my own dying etc, it was my first time in years to a salon and i was very anxious and nervous i asked for a brighter brown i originally had dark brown and i was amazed how easy they bleached my hair ! my hair was very damaged and i was shocked! after the process was done it looked dark brown... but after a few washes it was the perfect color! definitely a trust the process moment but i will come back! 10/10! read more

I had a great experience with Kayla! It's my first time getting extensions. I've noticed my hair thinning recently so I wanted to try extensions. Kayla worked with me to find the best shade match with the dimensions I asked for. She and I picked out two colors from Bellami. We ordered them, and she prepared them for my install. She's personable, and listens to feedback without taking it negatively. I think above all else, she is honest about what to expect with extensions. They're expensive and quite the labor to maintain, but she was very transparent about what to expect in that regard. The only thing I feel a tad weary about is the feel of the bonds in my hair. At the moment (and maybe because they're new) they feel a bit tough to the touch. The bonds are meant to soften with time as you wash your hair, so I'm looking forward to that. It feels great to have a full head of hair again :). I'm a regular gym-goer at this point in my life, and the k-tips are flexible to my lifestyle needs. I can gym, put my hair up, go in the pool if I want, and style per usual. read more

Got my hair colored and flat ironed by Elaina! She is absolutely amazing in caring for my natural hair (4b/4c), as well as making sure that my color is nice. The light wasn't great for the pics, so I loved being surprised by the true color once out in the sunlight!! Elaina used products and techniques that didn't fry my hair, and my hair reverted back to curls with no problem! She is the only person I trust to color my hair and I can't wait for Elaina to experiment with taking me brighter one day The salon was also SUPER clean and safe! read more

I really dislike leaving bad reviews but I'm so upset about my hair and having to spend even more money to fix it because I hate it so much. I wanted to go lighter but instead I was lead to go dark, pretty much black which again was the opposite that I wanted. I get my parts of my hair is damaged but there has to be someway to at least even out the color which I already had and I was partially already light anyways. I was told my hair would lighten up but I've washed it already 6 times and its still dark and makes me look pale and I hate it. Was given only one option to have it fixed but I already had a dentist appt at that time which I couldn't cancel/change. Mind you, he isn't cheap but now I have to spend even more money just to bring some lightness to my hair. read more

Love this salon. The wash station chair is soo comfortable. You can just take a nap while having your hair washed. The owners are very welcoming and nice. They always have great hair products. Also love their little boutique section. Kylie is amazing! She is the best colorist I've ever had and always gives me great cuts. She knows how to make me feel like myself and not JUST a mom. Stacia the Estetician is amazing. She does everything and more. I've been getting micro needling sessions and she really pays attention to detail. I have noticed significant results. This place is pretty much the do all in one. Also don't forget to get the toilet tabs that are made on site. They knock Poopourri out of the water. read more

I called Ricky about a color and cut correction. He was super professional and kind and helped me get an appointment w Brenna per his referral. I am super grateful that he put me her hands. She was very open to listening to what was wrong and I what I wanted. When she got to work she was extremely focused and precise and talked me through the many steps. I am extremely happy with my color and cut. I am in fact in awe that she was able to fix my hair and make it totally prefect Thank you, Brenna read more

Can't say enough positive things about this place read more

I would absolutely recommend this salon, particularly for Manda, one of the stylists there. I actually followed Manda here from their old salon because they are such an amazing colorist. Over the last year, Manda has colored my naturally dark brown and curly hair: red, red/orange ombré, and purple. The color has turned out beautifully each time. I had never dyed my hair before, and Manda did an incredible job not only with the color itself, but also with keeping my curly hair healthy and setting me up with styles that last a long time between appointments. I could go four months or even longer between touchups, easily maintaining my hair with color conditioners they supplied. Manda is also just an all around wonderful person! I could not recommend them highly enough, whether you're looking for vivid hair color (their specialty) or a more natural looking one. read more

I booked an appointment with Manda for a full balyage and they did not disappoint!! First time getting my hair colored/lifted, so I was naturally a lil nervous. Manda not only did an amazing job but also talked me through the process every step of the way which put my mind at ease. The finished result was AMAZING and left me absolutely in LOVE with my hair Manda, Ricky and his team are all such lovely people and made me feel so comfortable during my appointment! Will 100000% be coming back! read more

I've been with Emily Aylward for years and have had the pleasure of visiting three times now that she's at Ricky Styles, two for me and once with my daughter. The Madrona salon is adorable and I could just sit outside on the bench and take in the gorgeous trees and friendly neighbors for hours. They have all the COVID-19 protocols in place, felt very clean and safe. Emily is a wizard with my darker hair and bangs, always putting in just the right amount of layers so that the cut grows out great for months. My 14 year old daughter got blonde highlights that look natural, with her hair trimmed but long and simple. I highly recommend Emily esp for color, bangs, and layers. The salon is doing everything right and worth a visit! read more

Ricky has been my hairstylist for 4 years and every single time he has delivered absolutely beautiful results. His salon is beautiful and he goes above and beyond for each of his clients.

Manda Ziegelman is the best! A super wizard at color! I wanted blue and I mean BLUE hair and they didn't disappoint! The process was super easy too. I couldn't be more pleased with it. If you're looking for amazing punk color hair or in need of someone who can help you be you either through color or cut (their razor shag cuts are the best!) then go see Manda! They are only about a mile from their previous place of business AND there is free parking here. Everything was super safe and clean and they took extra care to make it so. I had a truly MAGICAL experience! Let them take care of your hair! read more

I visited the studio for a specialty cut with Manda. Manda is just amazing, so smart and talented. They took so much time with me to cut the perfect style I can air dry. I purchased two Cult + King products and Manda taught me how to use them in styling my new cut. The salon is clean and relaxing and all covid precautions are being taken. The other stylists were super nice and I felt very welcome there. My expectations were far exceeded! I found Manda in instagram because they do razor shags and I am so glad I came to see them! read more

I have been getting haircuts with Kylie Jurgens for about five years and hope to never have to find another stylist. She's the best. My hair is wavy and fine with a sideswipe, and requires attention to detail. Unlike all of the stylists I've had in the past, Kylie has consistently provided the cut I want - in fact improved over time. She gets my hair and listens. She has made adjustments for free when needed. She is also honest when she recommends products without making me feel like she is trying to sell me something. I also can trust her judgment when I tell her to just do what she thinks will look best. Favorite stylist! read more

Anastasia is a real gem. Over the past few months she's waxed me, micro-bladed my brows, and given me freckles. She goes above and beyond each time I'm there. I feel taken care of and nurtured. My brows look great and I am IN LOVE with my freckles. I always wanted them as a kid so it's really exciting to have them effortlessly now (I used to draw them on every day). I feel so fortunate to have found Anastasia. I will be seeing her for touch ups and waxes indefinitely. The atmosphere of the salon is fun and decorated for Halloween at the moment! :) read more

Ricky is a miracle worker! He TRANSFORMED my hair into something I've actually wanted and more. Show him a picture of what you want and he will recreate your look for you. Ricky took my hair on as a challenge when many hairstylists are afraid to touch my hair. For the reasons that 1) I have box dye in my hair 2) My hair is damaged 3)My hair is dark and want to go lighter. I've seen successful hair stylists who has top of the line training and years of experience under their belt. I had the highest esteem for them because of the work I've seen on Instagram and reviews they had on Yelp. Yet after I leave their chair, I was never happy. The main problem is that after hours of work, my hair did not have any of the cool tones that I wanted. I left their chair walking with brassiness and cool toned highlights. Unideal and unacceptable. I had box dyed my hair twice before seeing him to cover up work from previous hair dressers. However he was not afraid to work with it. He is knowledgeable of his craft and transparent about my hair when working with it. He is serious about taking the time to recreate the look I wanted. I can tell that he is incredibly passionate in what he does based on how beautiful my hair is the service I received. Ricky worked his magic and got rid of EVERY SINGLE concern I had with my hair. He not only stood out to me as a wonderful hair stylist, but a wonderful person. He has a glowing personality and is someone who I can trust my hair with. He totally flipped my hair experience around and made me love my hair for the first time in a long time. Thanks Ricky! read more

I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Manda for four years and followed them from their previous salon. Manda creates hair that is unique to you. They really care about creating hair that makes you feel like you. When I walk out of the salon, I feel refreshed and more like myself. I can't imagine going to anyone else to get my hair done. They make great product recommendations to help hair integrity; the condition of my hair has gotten a lot better since I started seeing Manda. I can't recommend Manda enough, they're an amazing hair stylist and person! read more

I had the pleasure to get my hair done by Alex, and I have no better way to describe my appointment other than it was amazing, and the outcome exceeded way past my expectations with only 1 session! To start off with my hair background, I have not been to a professional hair salon/stylist since 2004~2005 because I never found a salon worth going to and worth the money so I always cut and dyed my hair. With that being said I always wanted to get a Modern Balayage done to my hair but knew getting it done would cost a lot depending on where/who you got it done by. I had a place in mind, but I could not bring myself to spend what they were asking for. I contacted Alex, gave a bit of a run down of my hair and right off the bat he was super excited to work with me and said it will be a lot of fun, which got me excited! I viewed his Instagram and I knew I wanted to get my hair done by him. We scheduled my appointment, and even leading up to the day, he checked and confirmed my appointment which is appreciated. On the day of he was very welcoming, no rush and I felt calm throughout my whole service, since I was very excited and anxious because it was going to be an extreme makeover! Mind you, I have waist length hair, haven't dyed my hair since back in 2017 and that was an all over 1 color, so my hair was basically virgin hair, with very little color on the ends. He began working on my hair and it went smoothly throughout the whole service, he always informed me of what he was doing so I'm not just sitting there without a clue. Bleaching process took alot of time since I have some what decent amount of hair, plus virgin hair, double plus Asian thick hair, but he never once showed that he was getting tired, or worn out, and am really thankful he didn't give up on my hair lol! When the bleach was processing he would check my hair from time to time to see the progress and took note of how long it's been, which I appreciate because I know some stylists just go off and take a break until it's time to wash the hair, but he made sure that everything was going well. After that he did a root melt & toned my hair. Washing my hair he used products that would help my bleached hair and revive it's moisture, plus it smelled wonderful! Even though he washed my hair multiple times in between everything, he was very gentle and took his time and never once did I feel like he was tired, or over it lol. He held great conversations and never let it get boring, and overall it was a very fun and successful hair session! He informed me on what products to use to up keep and maintain my hair/color, and he took his time to give me really pretty beach waves! I have finally found someone I can trust my hair with, and believe me I do not trust anyone, since in the past everyone was disappointing and that is why it took me 16 years to finally get my hair done by a professional! You will not be disappointed with Alex's work! He actually knows what he is doing, and is not just talk and is well worth the time and investment to your hair! I will be seeing him in a couple of months to touch up on the money piece sections of my hair, and all my future hair changes!! Thank you so so much Alex, I am in love with my new extreme hair makeover!! read more
