Because of the scathing review listed, I felt obligated to write another perspective of Amy's Salon Services. Amy's is a diamond in the rough. She offers high-end services such as the Brazilian Blowout and Japanese straight perm at very competitive prices. It is nearly in Burien, in a little house remodeled into a salon. When I called, Amy herself answered the phone. But don't be fooled by the modesty of the salon because I was very impressed by the salon and services. I scheduled an appointment for hair straightening. I was given a consultation to see which straightening service would suit my needs. Amy measured my hair (cost is measured by how much hair in inches after shoulder length) and showed me a breakdown of how much it would cost. The Brazilian Blowout loosens the curl and improves the overall look of your hair (silky and shiny). The Japanese straight perm changes the chemical makeup of your cuticle. You will step out the shower with straight hair. It is also nearly twice the price. Grow out is also more obvious. I went with the Brazilian Blowout, which was very popular. Every person in the salon while I was there was getting it done. There was three stylists (including Amy) and four clients, which we were rotated between color, shampoo, straightening, drying, etc. While one person was under the lamp for highlights, the others were getting their hair straightened, flat ironed, or shampooed, etc. It was very busy. I highly recommend setting an appointment a week in advance. Because I was getting my hair straightened, colored, cut, and styled, I was there about 4 hours. They offer you snacks and beverages since you're there for so long. In the Brazilian Blowout, they paint your hair with the relaxer, blow dry it, and flat iron it. This seals in the product. Then they wash it out, blow dry it, and flat iron it again. Add color and style services to that and you see why I was there for 4 hours. I was really impressed by the consultation. Amy is very upfront with what you will expect and how much you will be charged. This was very appreciated because you don't want to be surprised with what you expected to pay. For the Brazilian Blowout, highlights, overall color, cut, style, and 2 products, I paid about $500. If you research other salons, you will know this is an absolute steal. After 4 hours, my hair was GORGEOUS. If you have curly hair, you know you will never have silky, soft hair. BUT I DID. It was completely straight, smooth, and silky. The fact that I had just gotten my hair straightened and colored, AND that my hair looked like that was AMAZING. I wanted to go a light red. But Amy (in her experience and intelligent insight) recommended we go a little darker red in order to keep my hair healthy. The result was gorgeous. I was really happy with the color we agreed on because it was multidimensional. After washing my hair, it is now in soft waves. It is important to use the after care products (sulfate-free shampoo) to retain your investment. The Brazilian Blowout will NOT make your hair bone straight. It just softens the curl. Depending how tight your curl is, you may go from curly to wavy. But it also makes it soft and shiny. If you want completely straight hair, you should go with the Japanese straight perm. I've been to many other high-end salons, (I personally hate Gene Juarez- they ruined my hair!) and never have been so satisfied with the end result. I really feel like I got my money's worth. Thank you, Amy, for a great experience. I'll be back! read more

'Amy's is quite simply the BEST!' Since coming to Seattle over 15 years ago, I have been a client of a very well know salon chain (GJ). So when I learned about the Japanese hair straightening process I had a dilemma. It seemed that this was a process that required great skill so I searched for info on the salons that offer this service. Because I had been a client of my former salon for ages I looked to them. In all of the chains salons there is only one technician that does this process. I made an appointment and unfortunately on the day of my service the technician was ill so they canceled my appt. It was the very best thing that happened. I had heard about Amys salon also, did more research and then, made my appt. It was destiny that I found Amy and Christine. As one of the other reviewers stated; you will not find crystal, silver and a staff that outnumber the guests. What you will find is Amy and Christine who are truly experts in this process. I used to spend 3 hours every other day washing, drying and straightening my hair and another hour ever day straightening it after sleeping. I just wish I had known about this process years ago. Think about all those hours I could have saved. It now takes me 15 minutes from wet to perfectly styled hair. It is the best money I have ever spent and if you think it is expensive check out GJ which starts at double Amys fee. You dont need all those hair styling product either. I had spent hundreds of dollars on styling products to get my hair straight. Just use the sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and you are good to go. I now come to Amy for all my hair services. She cut my hair as it lies differently when straight. I also went to her for my color, also exquisite. Every service is well worth the fee and the drive from Kirkland. read more

I just got the Brazilian Blowout done today at the salon. It was a great experience. I called in two days before, Amy picked up the phone and answered my questions patiently. Today, I got lost looking for the place and was late for 30 minutes, but Amy was totally cool with it. The salon was small and cozy. Everyone there was very friendly and they provided me with drinks and snacks. I felt welcomed. There were four girls taking turns to deal with my hair, and the treatment lasted for about one and a half hour like what Amy told me. When I had requests, such as how I wanted my bangs and wanted more volume, they would try to fulfill them. The length of my hair was about 5 inches below shoulder, and the final cost for the Brazilian Blowout only was $245 for me, that included a $100 off discount. Right before I left, they recommended me buying the aftercare products to extend the lifetime of the treatment, but I only purchased the shampoo and the conditioner, since they all cost about $35 each. Buying all four of the products will cost me another $150, and that was unexpected. They told me that the products were crucial for extending the lifetime of the treatment and there are no alternatives for these products out there. However, they did not push hard when I only wanted the shampoo and the conditioner, which I appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend Amy's salon to everyone. The service was excellent, and the price was very reasonable. read more

We had an awesome experience with Amy of Amy's Salon Services today. We came in to see her for a consultation for my 13-yr old daughter who has long, tangled curly, hair that was somewhat oily and yet dried out - partially damaged due to a Brazilian blowout a year ago and her own futile attempts to straighten her unmanageable hair with a flat iron, daily. Amy had given us an estimate yesterday, that to be honest shocked me at first because I have not researched how much Japanese Hair Straightening in general cost. But after she talked about the product and process involved and the fact that my daughter had been looking for a solution to her problematic hair for so long, we went with it and got an appointment for the very next day! Amy's salon is located in a residential area but the salon itself is in a stand alone, cute and clean unit. Perhaps due to the holidays, we were the only patrons there so it was very comfortable and private. Her salon offers snacks and drinks too! The process took 4 hours and Amy worked very meticulously. When my daughter's hair was done, it looked amazing! My daughter was thrilled and can't wait for her friends to see her. I'm excited for her too! Amy provided post care instructions and seems to really care about my daughter's concerns/questions throughout the treatment. When it's time for the touch up months from now, we will be back. Thank you, Amy! read more

I've been going to Amy's Hair Salon for almost two years and have done the Yuko Hair Straightening system for many years. I thought that was great until Amy suggested the new Zerran Reform System. Zerran Reform is the greatest! It has straightened my hair but still left some body in it, and it looks so natural! With the Yuko system, my hair was so flat for weeks that it felt like if just stuck to my head. With Reform, my hair is just as straight, but a little natural body look and shine. Amy does an excellent job with Reform and I would highly recommend the Reform system over Yuko if you want just a little bounce and body, not totally flat on your head look. Reform uses natural products and is also a permanent hair straightening method, with no slight after smell like you would get from the Yuko method. As a Yuko customer for years, I am now switching to Reform for a more natural straightening, both in look, feel, and shine. I highly recommend Amy's Hair Salon and Reform - both are in a class above others! read more

I have been a customer of Amy's Salon for 8 years. That is my recommendation. My hair and nails are done on aregular basis with complete satisfaction. Of the "bad reviews" I have read on this site...I say phooey..you have never been there. Because if you had you would have seen the notices that state if your disattisfied, let them know and they will make it right. You are an emplyee of yelp, and because Amy will not ddvertise with yelp you are trashingher business. You have done also done so in other citues to other businesses. That is EXTORTION and illegal. But you know that. In this time of economic distress...it is hard to believe that anyone would stoop to such tactics as so falsely criticize a company you have never done buisness with. read more

My mom referred me to Amy and she has been doing my hair for over 20 years now. My sister also goes to her. She is A-mazing! Not only reasonably priced, she listens to you and takes her time taking care of you. She used to have a salon in Burien and I had to drive 50 min to see her, but now she's only 15 min away!! I would follow her any where but it's so nice to have her close to my house in Kirkland. Amy makes you feel comfortable and at home the minute she takes your appointment. read more

I have started going to Amy in 2014 and had to move away. When I was looking for a stylist, I was thrilled when I saw that Amy had moved her location, and was a lot closer than before. She is, hands down, the only stylist I will let do my hair. read more
