Based on the knowledge that less change is better, when my hair started to fall out I preemptively had it cut off. This is done strategically so the hair ends up in the wig in the same place that it was on my head. This was the best decision I ever made. One day later my wig was ready and one can't tell it is a wig at all. The skill, experience and emotion that goes into building a masterpiece like my wig is amazing. Kurt is kind and empathetic -- I never felt anything but completely relaxed. Kudos for a job well done. Thanks so much for helping me in this "transition." ;-)

Minela paid close attention and has a very effective teaching style, she clearly cares about her reputation and it's obvious how she earned it. For Anne being brand new she did an absolutely amazing job and I'm thrilled to see how far she makes it in the industry. She paid close attention to detail, craved feedback and you could tell she genuinely cared about the work she was doing as well as customer satisfaction. Overall I'm VERY happy with the service my husband and I have received at Seattle SMP- just make the consultation, you'll be sucked in and happy you took the plunge. Thanks to this team of ladies I'm entering the summer with a high pony-tail and WAY less obvious hair thinning. Cannot thank you both, enough, for the confidence we've both gained.

My hair has been thinning for awhile. I've tried everything to fix the way it looks. I used Rogaine for a long time until it started burning my scalp. I've tried hair pieces. I've tried using tinted dry shampoo. I've tried microfibers you sprinkle in your hair. Nothing was really the answer, because even if I could get it looking mostly ok, I'd always have to take a shower and wash it out and then live with myself at home looking bald. So, knowing it was going to be expensive I decided to at least reach out and see what could be done. Google turned up MM Seattle with the five star rating and how could I go anyplace else? I'm so glad I found Minela! Here are some things to know: She's super cool but totally chill and easy to talk to. Do not be intimidated by how cool she looks! Her studio is clean and bright and welcoming. It's not a spa like some places and it's not a tattoo parlor, either. She is passionate about covid protocols. The large windows are open and there is an a/c vent blowing right in your face, which means she's not breathing directly on you. I was afraid it would be challenging to get there from Renton, or to find it, but it was neither. Just thinking about going on the West Seattle Bridge and navigating around that area gives me hives but it turned out to be really easy to get to. There isn't a lot of parking but once you get used to the layout, I never had trouble finding parking in the area. And, of course, there is the result! My hair has never been thick but in the last few years, it's been THIN. You can't see the dots at all, even though the overall effect is a full head of hair. I can put my hair in a ponytail or wear it down with a part. I can make a part anywhere, which is extra cool. So yes, it was expensive, but it was for me, and my only regret is not doing it earlier. If you have thinning hair but you're not completely bald, I wanted to make sure you have a picture for reference because when I was looking for examples, I only found one picture of long hair. You're welcome!!

I am traumatized by Agnes' unprofessional, rude, and dangerous behavior. She started the appointment almost 30 minutes late, dyed my forehead, up charged me for "long hair", though no other salon has ever done that, she left the salon for over 30 minutes while my hair was processing, rinsed with freezing cold water and didn't listen to my requests to use warmer water, pushed my head around like a doll, argued a lot, barked orders like a sergeant to move my head, put my chin up, etc.. Flung-dye soaked hair in my face, yelled at me when I moved it off my face, put an open pair of scissors centimeters from my eye, and pretty much was rude and abusive for 2 hours straight, which left me wanting to get the H@ll out of there as soon as the service was completed. My fingernails have black dye under it that seems to come off my hair every time I touch it. Agnes could have blinded me with the dye-soaked hair or the scissors. The only saving grace was she educated me on how to take care of my damaged hair and how to apply products. Other than that and her little dog Ira, the experience was pure H@ll.

CONS: She gets late to open the door (That's totally fine but I guess she needs to give a heads up and she kind of thinks it's okay. Well.. Not sure about that), I got a heads up after waiting there for 10 minutes. You will have to pay $25 more than groupon at times for your hair length. Upto shoulder is $30. So $55 is a standard price. For me, I will be coming back. Because she doesn't seem super commercial and schedules trimming every 3 months like my previous salon.

They welcomed me like family, got me coffee and a breakfast sandwich, made sure I ate lunch, and set me up in their new reclining chair where I actually got to rest while they worked on my braids. The quality of their work is exceptional, and they're incredibly fast. After living here for over ten years, I've yet to find braiders as good or as efficient as them. The whole experience was so thoughtful and relaxing that it turned what I thought would be a rough appointment into literally the most relaxing hair experience I've ever had.

I should have trusted my gut to book elsewhere after reading through the extensive online terms and conditions page. She holds the client to a standard of near perfection in order to complete a service, yet holds herself to a standard that leaves much to be desired. To conclude, it was stated that my son's haircut ain't it.... well ma'am, your customer service AIN'T IT! Do better. People are not paying you to be ridiculed, especially children.

I've been working with the clinicians at the Permanent Hair Removal Clinic for over two years and,…read morein that time, they've provided me hundreds of hours of electrolysis treatment. It's taken a long time but I am thrilled with the results we've achieved together. I first learned about this clinic after extensive personal research, collecting recommendations and consulting with other respected electrolysis practitioners around Seattle. The office was a little further away from my home than others but choosing the most-highly-regarded professional around was my biggest deciding factor. (Not having to pay to park in a garage didn't hurt either!) The owner, Laura, was incredibly patient with me. My prior experience with electrolysis had not gone well (having received many hours of ineffective treatment at a different practitioner in Seattle, before I knew what to avoid) leaving me in a very skeptical and questioning position during my first visits. We talked at length about the differentiators between her practice and what I had previously experienced, putting me in a much more positive and relieved mindset as we got into my first treatments. I immediately recognized the difference and, after a short time, began seeing real evidence of the permanent hair removal I'd been hoping for. As time went on and we addressed hair in different areas, I was relieved to know that the team had access to a variety of electrolysis equipment and modalities to find just the right balance between treatment effectiveness and manageable discomfort. Getting insurance to cover electrolysis is a real pain, but Laura is a pro. She has been terrific at providing the timely and accurate preauthorization documentation and monthly super-bills I needed to get started, even as my insurance provider changed. Even after my provider arbitrarily began denying claims, Laura had my back with material support and additional documentation that was essential to completing my appeal. Eventually the insurance company relented and started paying out claims. I couldn't have done this without Laura's help. In addition to Laura, I've also had the opportunity to work with 3 other practitioners in the clinic over the last few years. Though each of them maintain their own unique treatment styles and methods, they all share a common commitment to treating clients with the kindness, dignity and care I'd come to expect. They're all lovely human beings and I tremendously appreciate the work they've done for me. And it doesn't hurt that having a deep bench of skilled technicians gives them the flexibility to offer appointments every day, including late nights, weekends and occasional holidays (if you have the time). Seriously, you'd have to be bonkers to go anywhere else.

Possible TMI - Almost every single one of the hairs that I need gone are on my face and neck and are coming out of layers of acne scar tissue. They ITCH even before they surface and I can't help scratching my skin open in certain spots. All those spots are finally starting to heal thanks to Christine! One of the worst patches is on my neck right at the hairline. Not only did it have very thick hairs, but it was crowded with an insane amount of hairs so fine I could barely see them but couldn't keep my hands off them. I noticed an improvement right away, and at a faster clip than with other practitioners. She is *extremely* thorough and the process is taking less treatments than I'd anticipated. Full disclosure*: She spends more time than most on each hair and really searches for the follicle, which means a slightly above average pain level. But it's really effective and **a lot** less pain in the long run (not to mention cost effective). *This could be just me since my tissue is so scarred. I also really appreciate how she can fit me into her schedule.

Based on her excellent reviews, I felt confident reaching out and was excited to become a client. I had K-tip extensions installed in California for a wedding, and I was simply looking for someone to remove them. Instead of scheduling the service, Zoika told me to fly back to California and have the original stylist remove my extensions. I just ignored her rude statement. Rather than discussing availability or the removal process, I was met with numerous questions and reasons why I should keep my extensions. I was also told that my hair could fall out if they were removed. I found these comments unnecessary and the overall interaction came across as rude, especially since I was only requesting a hair extension removal service. Zoika also quoted $300 for the removal, her website lists hair extension removal at $100. I didn't mind paying the $300 if that was her price. However, I was then asked whether I got the extensions for length or volume and why I wanted to remove them after only a month. I didn't feel those questions were relevant to the service I was requesting. Unfortunately, I got the impression that because my extensions were not installed by her, she wasn't willing to provide the removal service. As a potential paying client, that was disappointing. I reached out specifically because of her reputation and positive reviews, but instead of being welcomed as a new client, I felt like my request was refused. Business is business, and I believe every client deserves to be treated with professionalism and respect, regardless of where they originally had their extensions installed. I left the conversation feeling dismissed, judged, and that my needs were not being heard. Sadly, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business. UPDATE: July 15, 2026 6 days after my original review, Zoika and I chatted and believed we had resolved the issue. We scheduled an appointment for the following week, so I thought everything was good moving forward. I even offered to pay for the hair extension removal. Unfortunately, she canceled the appointment today, leaving me very disappointed and dissatisfied with the overall experience. Professionalism goes beyond the service itself, it also includes communication and customer service. Keeping clients informed, honoring scheduled commitments and communicating respectfully are all important parts of providing a positive client experience. Honestly, after my scheduled appointment with Zoika, I was planning to take down my review because I wanted to get to know her more and rate my overall experience with her. Unfortunately, that did not happen and I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I said it before and I'll say it again. I cannot recommend this business. (See text messages in photos as proof).

My wife decided to come here…read morebased on the recommendation of a longtime friend of ours. - 4 Stars - The appointment for hair treatment was made for my wife. She did it online through their website. The appointment needed to be approved before you were confirmed for the appointment. The appointment was eventually confirmed. Oddly, my wife booked it for the 25th of Dec, but it was ultimately approved. When the day came for the appointment, we drove out (25 mins) to the salon and get there about 15 mins early. When it hit 10 am, we noticed no one arrived to open the salon. So she gave it 5 mins and made a call to the number provided in the email. To much the surprise of the person on the other line, she did not realize she had an appointment. But (much to even much surprise) she said she lived about 20 minutes away and was on her way. So we decided to wait it out. - 5 Stars - First, the fact that this individual came in (regardless of the mixup) was enough to earn 5 stars. She definitely is a specialist in hair health and took care of my wife. I went to grab a bite to eat but (after taking a look at my wife's scalp) told her she was going to need about an hour and a half to get her back on point. And that she did. It was a long appointment and my wife (and I) were more than impressed by the results. My wife also spoke to me about their time talking to each other. It must have been a good discussion because my wife was vibrant and full of life afterward telling me about all the stuff they talked about. All in all, how can you complain about an appointment mixup when someone is willing to come in and open up just for you, on Christmas no less? Just an impressive display of commitment to the customer by the owner Miny. Note (to other customers): looking at the reviews, it doesn't seem like this place is a salon for hairstyling as much as they are experts in hair care. I could be wrong but that would be my inference. Thank you.
