I learned she has a ton of experience in the hair industry with all types of hair. And after she listened to my likes and dislikes about my hair she gave me some wonderful ideas. We tried an Ombré on my first visit with her after years of only getting partial foils. I had purchased a Living Social for a partial foil. But for only a couple dollars more we tried her suggestion. Exciting, right?! My hair turned out absolutely stunning. I will definitely be going to her again for the same thing. I even booked my next appointment. (I never do that!) Also, she said this style would allow me to go longer in between touch up appointments and my hair will not look obviously grown out like it did when I came in. She made me feel at easy in the chair and never pressured me to buy anything extra. I even left with samples! Who doesn't love those? We talked the whole time and she relieved my initial anxiety right away. Oddly, I feel like Ive made a friend. (I hope this doesn't make me sound lonely!) Thank you so much Madison!!

It was very easy to book on line. Madison was running a little behind and she was kind enough to…read moresend me a text. This is located in a strip mall but there were a variety of well decorated hair and facial spas in this building. Madison interviewed me prior to cutting and coloring my hair. She wanted to know my expectations, my views on hair color and cut. She spent a lot of time explaining her services which I appreciate il very much.she asked me questions such as how often do I want to have my hair cut and highlighted which defines her as a true professional. Even though I was a first-time client and not a local she made outstanding recommendations. I truly admire a professional who cares about her clients whether I would be a one-time client or a continuous client.We discussed my haircut my highlights and how often I want to have my hair touched up. I'm very satisfied with my hair color and haircut.Even though I am not local I do come to this area every 4-6 weeks and Madison will be my hairdresser of choice from this point on.

I am new to town and needed a place to get my hair done. I was referred to Rayna's International,…read moreand I was blown away by the professionalism and courteousness. It is nothing like when you go to an African shop to get your hair done and unlike most African-American shops I have seen thrown together. Rayna is multi-talented and multi-faceted with hair, pocketbooks, seasonings, and reading material. They are placed strategically for view. When I arrived, she had just completed her previous customer, and promptly began with me. The out come of my crochet braids were dynamic. They are still in from the beginning of December, and can probably run a few more weeks.

I mentioned i had been scratching and didnt get a chance to oil she stated the relaxer she was using was not going to burn... I've been getting relaxers since i was 10; If you've been scratching, that shit is gonna burn! Needless to say, she didnt oil my scalp, instead she sprayed oil sheen on my scalp (?) and although she was fast at sectioning and spreading she had to make more relaxer and it was tingling/burning within 5-10 min. She brought me to the wash station where i received at least 2 washes and then proceeded with a deep conditioning. I didn't feel like the wash was thorough which is a big negative for me. However, the deep conditioning treatment was very enjoyable. From there, I was under the dryer for a bit and then brought to her chair where she proceeded to blow dry, flatiron and trim my hair. Overall, I was pleased with the finished product. Price.. Relaxer/Style, Trim (Comp'd, reg. $35) Deep Conditioning (?? not sure if that was incl. w/ the wash) = $130 (140 after tip) Note: Only 1 stylist. Books by appointment only. She does it all.

I wish I didnt have to mark it with a star. I found her online through a YAHOO ask & answer search…read more The female who left the review said that she did a great job. I looked at her site and I was very impressed (the graphics were a little cheesy, but anyway) and called to make an appointment after I had my mom and my boyfriend look at her clients' BEFORE and AFTER pictures. I made my appointment for the following week at 4:30. I arrived almost an hour early--I'm new to the area and I made sure I had enough time to redeem myself if I got lost. Well, she didn't start to work on my hair until after my appointment time-No biggie. She took me into her work area and showed me the hair she would use for my sew-in. It had different colored streaks in it and that is not acceptable since I'm active Army. So, she said she had to color the hair. Strike one. She was not prepared. She washed and conditioned my hair. I was there until after 1030pm. Strike 100million! Just for a sew-in. And the job came out looking a mess! I was so embarrassed to go to work the next day. My section sgts asked me, "Where did you get your hair done? Please tell me so I DON'T GO THERE!" I will never ever go back to that woman. I feel like I have been taken advantage of. I have been trying to call her for two days and her phones have been disconnected. I stopped by her shop and it was closed. I sent her an e-mail asking her to please call and she responded saying she would. I try calling and her numbers today and they have been disconnected! Ladies, if you are looking for someone to do a good weave DO NOT GO TO DANNI WALKER IN KENT! ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE! AND SHE DOES NOT TAKE CREDIT. I did not find out until after I was "done." There is a sign on the curb with a number that goes directly to an old man hard of hearing.

Best hair salon around. Betsy and Yahow are great and they make everyone feel right at home. My…read morewife has been going to YAHOW's for quite some time and loves the care received. The salon is on East Valley Hwy., just south of 99 Ranch. It's situated in a red brick home that has been converted. Warm, cozy and loving atmosphere. Yahow is knowledgeable about so many things, especially foods, and can carry on a great conversation no matter the topic. I tag along with my wife just so I can converse with Yahow while she's getting her hair done. Make an appointment today. You won't be disappointed.

Here's how we ended up here the first time: The boy needed a haircut, and I wanted to cut hair…read more I've "cut" hair before - if cutting and then shaving someone's head counts. Anyway, I've seen it done. It doesn't look so hard. So why wouldn't I be able to do it? I'm smart. I'm detail-oriented. I'm a perfectionist. I should be able to give rocking haircuts. No, the haircut didn't turn out as well as I thought. First of all, I had to work with a pair of office scissors and a moving head. I cut the back (that went kind of well). Then I trimmed the right side, then the left side of his head. That's when I noticed the left was shorter, so I had to go back and trim more from the right. And vice versa (I'm sure you all can see where this is going.). Before I got to the point of no return (i.e. the point in which a shaved head was the only other option), I was stopped. After scouring the Internet, we realized that there were no haircut chains nearby. That's when I co-worker suggested Yahow and his wife, Betsy, who had a place about 5 minutes from our office. He called, and we got an appointment with Betsy for later that afternoon. I would have never found this place without assistance: it's a brick building located on a fairly busy street in Kent, across from the "Great Wall" Asian marketplace, and next to a shooting gallery. It really does look just like a house from the street, with large green trees covering it from the main street and a nice sized yard, perfect for a dog. Betsy is amazing. Not only did she fix my botched hair job, but she did a great job with styling (we're talking about a guy who has probably never heard of the word "style" in relation to physical appearance). We've gone back since, for haircuts for the both of us - always with great results. I've always been very satisfied leaving here. I've also purchased some great hair care products (shampoo, mostly) when I've left. The price of a wash and cut is very reasonable for a hair salon: The two of us run about $60 (tip included). The couple that runs the place is a pair of sweet Issaquah locals. They have a very loyal client base (which is why I suspect that there isn't much of a marketing effort), and they remember all their clients by name. I called today to schedule a hair appointment (we got every 3-4 months), and ended up on the phone for 10 minutes, catching up. It's kind of like Cheers (where everybody knows your name) - only for hair.

Let me start by saying that there is not enough room in this space for the rave reviews I have for…read more"my gal" Barb. I have been stopped on streets and in restaurants and grocery stores by people complimenting my hair color and asking me where I have my hair done. I have started carrying a stack of Barb's cards in my purse to hand to these people and I encourage them to give her a try. Its only fitting then, that I make a formal "Yelp" for her. While I think the big chain places have their advantages, I prefer more "personal service" from someone who has taken the time to get to know me and my tastes when it comes to style. When I started seeing Barb (16 months ago) my hair had broken off about 3-4 inches in the back thanks to my prior hair dresser's overprocessing and just general lack of care. Today, my hair has grown back and is more healthy than its EVER been. I used to have thin, fine hair - and now its come back much thicker and stronger, and much more vibrant. Barb let me in on a secret - "Biotin" its a daily supplement found in the vitamin aisle, start taking 1 a day and see your hair make drastic improvements within about 4 weeks. Whether you desire to be a flirty blonde, a bold brunette or a daring redhead...visit Barbara. She has many, many years experience in all kinds of hair designs, she listens to your wants and helps you to achieve the style you are going for, along with teaching you how to maintain your new cut, style or color. Long hair, short hair, curley hair, straight hair, thin hair, thick hair...she does it all. Her shop is small and cozy - and she's totally worth the drive to Renton. Its located off of exit 4, near the Value Village. Her rates are reasonable. I pay $90 for a cut and full foil and I have long hair. I'd give her a call about a week or two in advance - and if she's short on the phone with you, its because she's with a client! I assure you, you will love the experience!!
