For: Alyssa at Chromatique Salon…read more Yesterday, I had one of the most incredible and unexpected experiences. My husband and I were on our way to a wedding on Whidbey Island and had just missed the ferry we were hoping to catch. The silver lining was that it gave me a little extra time to finish my hair, which I had been hoping to do before we left home. I wanted to recreate the style I had worn for our own wedding--a middle part pulled back into a sleek, low bun. So there I was, standing outside our car in the ferry line, using the reflection in the car window as my mirror and attempting to make it happen with all the tools and supplies I had brought along. After a good 20 minutes, I finally gave up and decided I would just have to hope no one noticed the million bobby pins and elastic bands holding everything together. As a woman waiting in the car beside us walked by, I impulsively asked if she wouldn't mind telling me whether my hair looked alright--woman to woman! To my surprise, she told me she was actually a hairstylist and generously offered to take it apart and restyle it after I showed her a photo of what I was trying to achieve. I couldn't believe my luck. At that point, I probably would have accepted help from anyone, but what were the chances I happened to ask someone with 18 years of experience in the hair industry?! As she quickly and effortlessly worked on my hair, we started chatting and discovered even more coincidences: we were both named Alyssa (spelled the same way!), were the same age, and she worked at Chromatique in Gilman Village in Issaquah--a salon I've walked by hundreds of times. About 10 minutes later, my hair was pulled back into the most perfect, beautifully executed bun--honestly, even better than I had professionally done on my own wedding day! I offered to pay her or give her any of the food and drinks we had brought with us, but she politely declined and simply said she was happy to help. My hair stayed perfectly in place the entire night, and I received so many compliments. If this is the level of care and generosity Alyssa was willing to give a complete stranger, at a moment's notice and for nothing in return, I can only imagine the kind of service she provides her clients at Chromatique and the standards they have set as a salon. Life can be pretty incredible, and sometimes a completely unexpected encounter reminds you just how kind people can be. Thank you so much, Alyssa--not only for making my hair absolutely perfect for the wedding, but for reminding me how wonderful it is when a stranger goes out of their way to help someone simply because they can. I'll never forget it!

UPDATE: Immediately after posting this review Brooke emailed and called me to explain that she had…read morethought she had sent my contract to me. She did not see my emails and feels it likely got lost amongst the many emails that flood her inbox. She was apologetic and immediately sent me my updated contract after the call. My experience was similar to the 1 star reviews below. Short version: Took my deposit then stopped communicating altogether for the past 4 months. Details: Had to reschedule my wedding to a new date due to COVID-19. I had already paid the deposit. Brooke was initially responsive and understanding, our communication was smooth. She confirmed that my deposit was non-refundable but that she could re-book me with a new deposit for my future date which she confirmed they would be able to do. I agreed and she said she would send me a new contract. I never got a contract. She stopped responding thereafter. No response to my three follow up emails or my two phone calls to her business in the subsequent four months. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt -- busy with all the wedding date changes, , financially difficulties in light of COVID-19 -- maybe they had closed altogether! .... but then I saw that someone posted to their instagram account 5 days ago. Clearly she is not interested in working with me anymore. Would have been nice to get some communication back that they could not or would not be able to accommodate my wedding.

Brooke did an AMAZING job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She brought two other artists…read morewith her that also did a great job with my bridesmaids, MOG, and MOB. I love how my whole look came together. I wanted to have my hair up and out of the way but still show off my curls. I also wanted to make my eyes look big. She knew exactly what I was going for and delivered. Like many brides, I was sweating every little detail and wanted all of it to be perfect. Brooke was patient and kind the whole way through. She happily redid my braid and tweaked my eye makeup whenever I asked and didn't show a single sign of going nuts over my micromanaging :) She is AWESOME. My mom was super nervous and Brooke arranged a trial for her the same day as me and made sure we both had the same makeup and hair artist for the big day. Having that support made the whole day a lot less stressful. The biggest reason why I chose Brooke is because she didn't give me that "conveyor belt bride" feeling I got with all the other large onsite hair and makeup companies I was considering. I developed a rapport with her over weddingwire and phone calls and she immediately earned my trust. Everyone looked amazing. Thank you Brooke!

The business's policies and communication have been confusing and unprofessional. The disclaimer…read morestates that if a deposit is not paid, an appointment will not be booked. However, I was able to book an appointment without paying the $50 deposit. Later, I received text messages stating that I could not schedule any future appointments until I paid the deposit because I had allegedly missed an appointment, but not thinking that it was actually booked until I paid it! This creates unnecessary confusion and miscommunication about whether the deposit is actually required. If the deposit is mandatory, the booking system should consistently enforce that policy, and not allow you to book without payment! I also do not appreciate being contacted through personal text messages regarding an alleged balance. If the business believes I owe a fee, I would expect a formal invoice or written documentation through the appropriate business channels. Repeated text messages requesting payment are not a professional way to handle billing matters. Definitely will take my 450.00 elsewhere!

Olivia did a great job on my makeup look!!…read more Here's why: 1) She is patient, attentive and professional (she will call out products that would work better for the next time around since it was a trial) 2) Spotless and organised makeup station, tools and products - no worries on cross contamination or bad hygiene. Extremely meticulous! 3) Knowledgeable in products, colours and techniques Final note - most importantly the outcome! Simply gorgeous!!! She has a great sense of what beauty is and should look like and will definitely give you a transformation!!

I had a not so great experience with the first makeup artist I contacted about services for my…read morerecent wedding, and was feeling a bit discouraged. Then, I found Olivia through Yelp with her 5-star reviews, and from the first contact everything has been AMAZING! Olivia responded quickly, was so organized and friendly and I felt so much more comfortable right away with her. My wedding day unknowingly aligned with a demonstration march through downtown Seattle. Our hotel was right in the thick of it and all the roads around it were closed down by police. However, Olivia miraculously made it right on time and even told me she had to run through the marchers with her makeup suitcase in order to get to our hotel!!! I booked Olivia to do my own bridal makeup along with makeup for my sister and mother. She took her time to make sure that we all loved our looks, while still being very efficient. Having not done a makeup trial with her first (I live out of state), I'm so impressed that Olivia totally NAILED the look I had envisioned, based on some examples I'd pulled from Pinterest and sent her the week before. Olivia even left me with a small gift containing a tiny size of the same lipstick she'd used and a matte powder with puff for touch-ups. I felt beautifully glamorous and the makeup stayed all night, including lots of crying. ;) I highly recommend Olivia!! She's just the sweetest thing and a true artist.

These days where and how we spend our money is a conscious decision. With every outlet of media and…read moreeven our peers giving us some kind of opinion on what's right and wrong I NEVER feel any sense of guilt, hesitation, or consumer remorse when my dollars are spent at Suite B Hair & Skin Lounge. It's a small woman owned business with some of the best professionals in the skin and hair game around! My experience today is a perfect example! I was feeling a bit low and worried because I was spending money on a day social media said not to. But I walked in and was immediately greeted by the sparkle and beauty that is the physical ambiance of the Salon. Though is missed my favorite front desk receptionist Valentina. Seriously such a fun sweetheart that makes being a professional welcomer seem way easier than we all know it is. She always appears to be genuinely happy to see each salon guest arrive for their appointment and never forgets to checkbon your hydration and personal needs. But regardless of who the front desk person is they make the check in process easy and inviting. And then there is the rest of your scheduled experience. There is just a level of comfort offered while being in some of the most vulnerable positions that just can't be put into words. I mean we are naked or laying with our eyes closed for hour(s) and not once will you were about your safety (psychological or physical) ever being compromised. And feel free to talk about anything and ask any question everyone is ready to engage! I just love Suite B and you will too! This is in no way a paid or compensated review. I just believe that everyone should feel good about and during their consumer experience these days. And small women owned businesses do not get enough attention. Gender or anything else don't matter here. High quality service is provided to all. If you are a human with skin and hair Suite B hair and skin has a service for you. I received two services by Katie today. A grande lash fill and a full Brazilian. That is about two and a half hours of service in a sitting and it was a seamless and hygienic transition and process. Time spent with Katie is honestly like therapy. She is kind, insightful, beyond inspiring in so many ways and provides more than esthetic needs. She fills your beauty and soul, self care needs effortlessly. You may see that I write reviews often but this is only because I am consistently blown away with every experience I have with Katie. The level of artistry is always magical. I literally walked in with about 4 lashes and looking so tired and walked out with a full set of lashes looking refreshed and more vibrant than I can even explain. Go see Katie if you are in search of a true professional or your regular is unavailable!

TL;DR: Do NOT book with her…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience and feel obligated to warn others. I booked this hair and makeup artist last year for my August 2026 wedding and paid a deposit to secure my date. Everything seemed fine at the time of booking, but when I reached out in January to schedule my trial, I received no response. I followed up multiple times over the course of four months via email, text, and phone calls--ignored every time. My wedding planner also attempted to contact her on my behalf, with no success. At this point, it is clear this is not a case of a missed message or temporary delay--Yessie ghosted me as a client. Because of this, I was forced to find and book a new hair and makeup artist under time pressure, adding unnecessary stress during what is already a busy planning period. To make matters worse, I never received my deposit back. For other future brides out there, please do not let Yessie scam you. Taking a client's deposit and then completely disappearing without any communication or services rendered is unacceptable.
