Aimee did my hair and she did a fantastic job! I am getting married and wanted to get hair extensions for the first time. We added colored extensions in that blended nicely with my fine hair. Best part is there was no damage to my natural hair from lightening. The staff are all friendly. The facility it clean and precautions are being maintained during this pandemic. I will be back!

Hair by Aimee. Bleach bleed mark, one of many.

After having known the owner of Rise Salon Aimee LaFave for many years through the salon I went to, I was referred to her by my longtime stylist that was retiring. She believed Aimee could help me go from professionally demi-permanent black colored hair to blonde balayage. Definitely not an easy or cheap process which I completely understood and was prepared for. I was happy to support Aimees new business and trusted she would do a great job and I believed she knew what she was doing. But, to my surprise (as well as my old stylist) Aimees lack of education and apparently experience, my hair was ruined by the third visit. I spent over $850 to have this process done and was very patient and happy with the first two visits with her. I trusted the process. However, the third visit my hair came out darker, had intense red banding and bleed bleach marks throughout, which she did not mention before I left the salon. Not to mention my hair was fried. All of which is not what was discussed or expected for the third color correction session. When I messaged Aimee to express my concerns and kindly requested she let me come in to show her the areas of concerns and have her help me, she refused. She told me if I wanted her to correct the mistakes (which she refused to take accountability for or apologize for) I was to pay her more. She then refused to refund me my money so I could seek help from another salon. I ended communication with her feeling sad and frustrated my hair was ruined and this so called "professional stylist" and business owner refused to correct her mistakes. Having been a long time client from reputable salons with high quality customer service and stylists, this was shocking to see the lack of professionalism and customer care. The end result is I had to go to my old stylist to correct my hair (two months after trying to repair my hair at home, yes I walked around with ugly hair for that long) and she was appalled and embarrassed that she sent me to Aimee. She ended up having to cut off six inches because as she states it was not salvageable. She then attempted to repair the chemical damage that Aimee did to make my hair look presentable again. If you are looking for high quality and professionalism and someone to trust with your hair, please look elsewhere because Aimee is none of those. (See pics)

Aimee is the BEST!

Love this place. Fun and friendly and I always leave feeling so refreshed. Aimee and all the stylists are the best!

Aimee charged $430 for a balayage and ruined my hair. I had to get it fixed.

Don't go here!! I had an unfortunate experience here with the owner, Aimee. After spending $430 for my hair (a complete shock) it was so poorly balayage that I had to get it fixed elsewhere by a more trustworthy stylist. I had presented the issue to Aimee and she offered to get me in quick on a day that didn't work for my schedule with my child, for a "quick fix of gloss" and I explained I had my child. She said I should bring him with instead of offering different dates. I also no longer trusted her handy work after my experience and it didn't make sense to return and compromise the integrity of my hair even more. Attached are the photos I took and my new stylist took of what was done to my hair by Aimee. I asked for a refund and she completely evaded the question and said she wanted to fix my hair and had me down to do so, even though I never agreed to it. Will be leaving a review on google and filing a complaint with better business bureau as well.

Sharon is magical!! She delivers what no one else can... snow white hair!!…read more Look I know I'm asking for a lot okay. I'm asian & my hair is dark af, I know bleaching is going to damage it, but look I really want white hair. I don't care about driving from Redmond to Tacoma; whatever I'll do it because Sharon is the BEST colorist I've EVER been blessed by. My hair doesn't feel like hay and it's the lightest it's ever been! No one else gets to touch this!! Sharon delivers!! You already know this, look at her clients on her Insta!! She's the real deal. The only shitty thing is you'll have to wait until I straight up die before I'm giving up my coveted spot in her schedule.

Always will go back to Sharon because she always has your best interest in mind and will know what…read moreis realistic for your hair. I've been getting my hair done by her for over 5 years now and every time she has left me with exactly what I wanted each session. She tells you step by step when the change is happening. And is very on point with how long your session will go for the day. If something changes, she will let you know unlike other stylists that don't keep you in the loop when you're in the chair for hours. Sharon will always try her best to get your hair to what you want. If it's not gonna all happen in one session she will educate you and let you know if it does take more time. Sharon is by far one of the best hair stylists I've ever had and will always keep going back to her. She is amazing and always keeps the length I want when she gives you a cut and style as well! If you're on the fence about paying that price to get your hair done by sharon, just know that it is all worth it and you won't have to see another stylist again!!! There's a reason why and good hair needs a good investment!! Remember that!!

Let me start off with how cute the interior of the salon is! It gives an earthy and modern feel…read more The restrooms are kept very clean and it was nice to have coffee, tea or water as complimentary. Upon entering for my appointment the two gals that I engaged with were very welcoming. I believe the gal that checked me in was Megan and the other gal I forget her name but she has red hair with cute bangs in a ponytail who was letting me know not to worry about the hour parking in front of the salon. My advice to those new to the salon is to get there early as parking is limited in the front and the ample parking would be across the street or in the residential area. Now let me get to my stylist who wow'ed me. This was my second time around with this stylist. Backstory I met Shawn Babauta at JCPenny as I went in to get a haircut and she mentioned she was moving to Dolce Salon which was the best decision she made as well as for Dolce Salon to add an amazing stylist to their team. Shawn is so talented and the thing I love about Shawn when I first met her was she listened to what my concerns were and what my inspiration was. Also Shawn gives good feedback on styles that compliment your face and how much work a certain style would be for example bangs. That's a plus for me because not many stylists listen or give you that type of feedback. When it comes to a long term stylist I feel that not only are their talents a plus but also vibing with them is important. Shawn I'm so happy my husband found you on social media because moving here due to a military move is always a bit rough. Now to end my long review go check out the pictures I will attach because Shawn did more than what I expected and then some! That's how talented Shawn is! You will see before and after pics.

Hey Hello Hair! I…read moreabsolutely love this place. The ladies here are truly the best. I'm lucky to have Charla and Jessica taking care of my hair--my lifelong, deep red hair that I proudly say comes from my great-great-grandmother. It's that strong Indian red MC1R gene trait, and I don't take it lightly! I had hand and arm surgery in January 2026, and the girls even took care of my hair before my surgery. At that time, we were working through simple wash routines together because I couldn't wash my hair myself. They were so patient and helpful through all of it. By the time I needed my next move-up, I was ready to wash my own hair again, and they celebrated that progress with me. I truly love these ladies like I've known them for years. Everyone in the salon is so kind, fun, and genuinely caring--not just with me, but with every person who walks in. Going to my appointment at Hello Hair is something I always look forward to. I genuinely love being there.

They were honest about what could and couldn't be done ahead of time so our expectations were realistic. And they gave options as far as cost goes. And the outcome was phenomenal!
