    Marcus S.

    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.

    The person who waxed me was very kind and made great conversation. I truly have nothing bad to say…read moreabout the actual waxing experience itself, it was comfortable and professional. 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 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!

    After reading reviews online, I scheduled an appointment with Mindy, the owner of this salon for…read morehair color. The experience was horrible. The salon was so dirty. She put a dirty towel that was on the dirty floor on my back and neck. I felt so grossed out. I was so shocked when this happened because I never thought it would be this dirty in a salon in Bellevue area. I thought I picked a good, reputable salon for hair color. She showed many unprofessional behaviors. The hair color result was not what I expected and I have been getting hair color at different salons for 20 years. (I changed hair stylist whenever I moved to near area in WA state. I often try to find a new hair stylist close to home or my work place.) I am not new to this process (hair coloring) at all. Normally I go to Aveda salon in other area and they were able to dye my hair from original black hair with grey hairs to lighter color in one visit without highlights. I told Mindy that I wanted the root to match the color that I had before. She said that she could do that but the color came out very dark, almost black. I could dye the hair myself dark color easily at home. The price for this was 200 dollars. -- Mindy argued that she had to dye my hair dark color to cover grey hair. My regular hair dresser at Aveda was able to turn my hair into beautiful lighter color and cover grey hair beautifully. -- I will have to go to my regular Aveda salon soon to get highlights to correct the color. -- Mindy was very talkative. She got frustrated at me because she said I moved my head a lot so I was trying to relax and not talk a lot to avoid moving my head. I didn't want to upset her. She showed that she was frustrated. However, Mindy kept asking questions unrelated to hair such as "Do you have a boyfriend?" and etc while she was washing my hair. She accidentally spit on my face a few times. She expected me to keep answering her questions even during the time she was washing my hair after she was frustrated that I moved my head, the experience was so uncomfortable for me. When I relaxed and didn't respond to answer her questions quickly, she said loudly so other customers and staff can heat that I must be frustrated with her. It was the weirdest experience I ever had at a hair salon. In 20 years that I have been getting hair color at salon, this is the first time, a hair stylist doesn't let me relax. I overheard she asked a male customer next to me about his romantic relationship and she told him to propose even when he said he wasn't ready. I don't know-- I just felt so uncomfortable with all these unprofessional behaviors. -- Her dog was very cute in the salon but that was about it. I will NEVER go back. Mindy kept blaming me for weird things. For example, after the coloring process was done, I asked her for a solution to help remove the color on my skin, it was not a big deal for me. I saw she used that solution to help remove color on my face but missed some spots. I know the color will come off when I take a shower. But Mindy started blaming me and told me that hair color on my skin was one of the marks I had on my face before hair coloring process. I don't have any abnormal mark on my face prior to this. Mindy also blamed that the towel she put on my back and neck fell off because I moved. (The towel was very dirty from the beginning. I am not even sure if it had been used with others before me.) I had to use a restroom to urinate since she left the hair color on me longer that it was supposed to be because she accepted other male customers who walked in for hair cut and perm. -- Mindy then deflected and started blaming me for scheduling an appointment with her, she said that she was kind enough to let me schedule an appointment on the same day. Then she had to take other walk-in customers and kept the color chemical compound on my hair longer than it was supposed to be?! It doesn't make sense at all. She was blaming me for supporting her small business. This is why this will be the one and only time I will do business with this salon. When I called her, it seemed like she didn't have any customer so she asked me to come in right away on Tues around noon. Then when other customers showed up, she was trying to get as many customers as possible and left the hair color on me longer than normal. Then she deflected and said she had been doing this for a long time. She knew hair. She said if I experienced hair loss, she would pay 500 dollars. SAD-- I don't want 500 dollars. I just wanted to have my hair color in a normal peaceful way. If you care about cleanliness and want a professional setting in hair salon, this might not be a place that you enjoy. I have been going to salons since I was in my early 20's because I have grey hair since I was young. Now I am almost 40. I never had issue with moving and causing a towel to fall from my neck. It was so weird that the hair stylist blamed customer for a dirty towel.

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.
