I had my first appointment here at Fringe this past Saturday with Megan W, and I was very happy…read morewith my cut and style. I booked here based on the great Yelp reviews and really just took a chance on letting them choose a stylist for me. Before I get into the great work that Megan did, I'll start from the beginning. First, don't get turned off by the kind of bleak exterior. It is really nice inside with a cool industrial vibe. Fringe texted me about 15 minutes prior to my appointment letting me know that I should check in via text and wait in my car until they were ready for me. Once I got the text, I walked in and was promptly greeted by the woman who took my temperature and shampooed my hair. I wish she had introduced herself, because she gave me a wonderful scalp massage while prepping me for my cut. Then, I met Megan who was super kind and chill. She consulted on my typical cut/style (as my hair had gone quite a while without a good cut). She walked me through every step that she was doing to get my requested style (which is pretty simply, low-maintenance). She was very conscientious of starting slow and ensuring that she didn't take too much off. I'm not typically one to really style my hair, but she put a nice little loose wave in it that I got a few compliments on during the day :) She showed me the products she used when I asked but did not try to up-sell, which is definitely a plus for me in my books. On a side note, I saw a couple of men getting cuts while I was there. The stylists were doing a really good job on those as well. I highly recommend Fringe and Megan W - she will be my new go-to stylist!

They offer top-tier services and have well-trained hairdressers. I usually just ask for a trim and an eyebrow wax and they always do a fantastic job. I've also gotten my hair colored before by Nicole and she did an amazing job, I just think looking back on it that the color wasn't for me. But she's great for blondes. Everyone there is always super friendly and seem genuinely interested in getting to know me. I usually have a different person each time and they all have been super kind. The inside is also super nice and and very clean which is always important. I highly recommend this salon if you care a lot about quality when it comes to your hair.

Stacy has been doing my hair for years and it's as if she takes what I want to do right out of my head. She'll take time to talk me through her plan and my options. Every step from highlights to wash to styling is comfortable. She'll make an extra effort to ask her clients if they see anything they want to change, or if explain how to recreate a look, or walk through the products needed. They also have refreshments and one time one of the employees added me to their breakfast order because they were ordering it to be delivered soon. It really feels like a tight-knit salon where everybody cares about each other. I also recently had my acrylic nails soaked off from a bad experience at a different salon, and Tera hooked me up and was able to salvage my nails. She has done my nails several times since then with gel x tips and I've loved every set. I love coming to CVRK!

Pricing is…read moreincredibly reasonable: a hair cut includes wash + blow-dry styling and costs just $15 plus tip! Even better, I always leave here LOVING my new hair cut. Bonus: It's close to the university. This salon is owned and operated by the hair stylist, Robin, who is just wonderful. I've been going here for years and I have the best experience each time. I usually take in a picture of a cut I like and Robin might make recommendations to adapt the look to me. If you are like: "Good grief, J-Law's newest hair cut is amazing! I wonder if I can pull it off?" take in a picture and ask Robin! She's super about making suggestions or alterations for your face shape/style/hair type etc. In my experience, Robin can do any cut you throw her way. For me she's done nearly every kind of bob you can imagine, asymmetrical cuts, the BEST PIXIE cut ever (seriously it was the cutest... I took in a pic of Jean Seberg), and a variety of other short to medium cuts with bangs & without. All done by Robin, all amazing. (Please don't mistake me as saying my hair is amazing because it's not - the cuts are amazing and make my drab straight and not very thick locks look good!!!) She regularly cuts my mom and sister's hair as well and the sis has gorgeous long wavy hair with beautiful layers. I also know Robin offers hair coloring services and facial waxing too (I think.) I don't dye my hair or wax my brows but I'm sure these service are also reasonably priced or at least competitive with other local salons. If you're wondering about how much something costs, call and ask! You do need to schedule an appointment in advance but she's open Tues.-Fri. 9-7 and Sat. 9-2. She always gets me in fairly quickly and at a time that works for my schedule! Seriously, I can't recommend this hair studio enough. TIP: Lunch break hair cuts are awesome, it usually takes about 30 mins. for me to get my cut, and then you get back to work and your co-workers are like "Wow, your new hair cut is super radical!!!"* TIP #2: The studio is behind a house in a residential neighborhood in Kent. Just park in the drive, follow the walkway around the garage, behold the incredibly lovely landscaped yard, and enter the studio for your best haircut ever. *Ok, so no one has said that exact thing but I have had some fantastic compliments on my hair cuts.

I have never had any issues with lightening my hair before. And to get charged $195, for this?! My balayage for my wedding was way cheaper and MUCH better looking than this (different salon). I'm disappointed to have to write this review but even more disappointed that I'm stuck with this hair. This was after the stylist had two tries, used toner and "let the purple shampoo sit" in my hair for some time. I wish I would have known how bad it looked in the back and with natural lighting before leaving. Management has still not contacted me after I called the store and left my information. Update!!! After getting in contact with the salon manager/owner, she refused to give me a full refund but offered to fix my hair herself. I did get $60 back, and agreed to come in for a 3rd attempt. This experience was MUCH better. The owner, Amanda, was able to take out the brassy tone and blend the colors so it's no longer blunt. While it's not exactly the color as I wanted, it is SO much better and I feel like I got my money's worth. Also another stylist, Brandon, was super nice and styled my hair perfectly, making sure to inform me on the products he used in my hair. I'm glad I gave this place another chance, and was able to walk out happy with my hair.
