    I'm old school in a lot of ways, that includes walking into a barbershop sitting down and waiting for a chair to open up, then getting a haircut, at least until I can get a regular spot. If I want to see someone specifically, I'll wait for them. Standing On Top heavily encourages making an appointment and though I can't comment on that, it seems to be a mixed bag based on other reviews. There is an assorted number of barbers here. Easily more than 10 chairs and there were about 5 barbers on duty. I'd think they'd welcome some walk-ins particularly because not all the time are you gonna fill up with appointments, especially until you establish yourself as top barber and especially on weekdays. It's not like there was a huge line. So, I walked in. I waited about a half hour before one of the barbers, presumably the owner asked me if I had an appointment. I said that I didn't, and he waved me over apologetically as he explained they operate mostly with appointments. I believe I had William, who did a very good job with my haircut, no doubt about it and was fairly talkative along the way. The cost of the haircut made for a definite pause though. $35. $10 more than I'm used to. From what I understand this is about the going rate in the Seattle area, so I guess I gotta get used to it or maybe I am showing me age but whoa. On top of that the tip button on the tablet starts at 25% and goes up from there. So well over $40 for a haircut later William explained to me how the process works so any future appointments can be made and it will be easier. I think it's called 'Squire' and you can download it to your phone. Though it's a very well-done haircut I got, I don't think I want to drop that kind of money on a haircut on the regular if I can help it, or perhaps I'm being cheap? I believe the barbers can set their own prices here which is cool and adds to the reasons you may want to settle on a particular barber and make appointments with them, but if I can find a simple, walk-in, pay, walk-out spot I'd be happy and reserve Standing on top for perhaps special occasions. I'm giving a 4 because as I was walking back to my lodging, some dude stopped his car and complimented me on my cut. That was cool.

    My 9 year old goes here and has seen several different barbers and they've all done a great job. He gets a fade when he goes.

    I received a terrible haircut from a different barbershop. I came here by word of mouth and was greeted by Jay who looked over the destruction on my dome. His reaction was about the same as everyone else..."WTH Is This!" He helped me set an appointment online and even squeezed me in between his appointments. He took his time and fixed the mistakes that forced me to wear a hat at all times. Heck, I even wore a hat to bed in fear of dreaming about the mess that was underneath. A+ Cut! Awesome barber! Awesome shop! Will definitely be back

    An example of how much he cancels appointments.

    TLDR: Anastasia is at Redmond EWC!…read more I always had the best Brazilian experience with Anastasia and was devastated to see she was no longer working here . I reluctantly began my search for a new waxer when I happened to find that she is now at the Redmond EWC location! Anastasia is fast, thorough, so warm and friendly and she really makes the miserable experience of getting a Brazilian (almost) painless. Go to Redmond to see her and thank me later!

However, I did not have a good experience afterward. Additional services were offered to me without it being clearly explained that there would be an extra charge attached. I was also given wipes that I was told were free, but when I got to the counter, I was told I had to pay for them. I felt like I was being charged more without my clear consent or understanding. The front desk staff was not very kind or welcoming during checkout. I was made to feel embarrassed for not knowing that two extra waxing strips would cost an additional $22, and that the travel-size wipes were $13 after being told they were free. I left feeling uncomfortable, embarrassed, and like I wasn't treated very well by the front desk. While I appreciated the kindness of the person who provided the service, the checkout experience really impacted how I felt leaving the appointment. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

    I had one horrible experience at another salon in first hill (check my other reviews if you wanna…read moreknow which one) so I was a little nervous to try try again but my nails were making me crazy so I started looking around. This place was recommended to me by a sales rep at my job and I am relieved to say I found my salon for the rest of my seattle contract. I walked in no appointment on a Saturday early afternoon, certain they would be too busy and I'd have to come back another day, I didn't have very much time, but Rose got me in right away fixed the uneven shapes and lengths of my nails given to me by my first salon and they look FANTASTIC!!! If you are in the area looking for dip or any other nail service this is it clean, friendly, talented and timely can't be beat! Ps please excuse the dry healthcare hands

The location was under construction, presumably because they had recently been purchased, but that's a temporary issue and part of upgrading the business. I've been to the Herbal Nail Spa in Renton and they do a fantastic job, but this location is awful. I got a pedicure (which was great!), but a different technician did my Gel-X and she should not have been doing that. She lacked the skills, and worse, when I said something about the tips being applied crooked, she shrugged and told me that "my nails were crooked" and that's just how it was. I had asked for a basic straight stripe design, and the design was applied poorly. Again, when I said something, she told me it was because my nails were too short. The nails did stay on without chipping or lifting for two weeks. I think they would have stayed longer, but I couldn't look at them any longer (I actually used polish at home to paint over the bad design!). I went and had them removed at the Renton location. It's now been 10 weeks, and the damage done to my nails when they were applied is almost grown out. I've had Gel-X applied before with some minimal damage, but the aggressive filing before these were applied was over the top. I wasn't going to leave a review because some businesses go through a hard transition, but I emailed the Herbal Nail Spa through their website, with photos, to let them know how poorly the technician had done, and I didn't hear anything back, so alas, public review it is.
