It has been quite awhile since I have been here , nothing at all has changed. It is still an amazing salon with great staff who listens and is able to give you what you want. My stylist was Christiana, I was going from a long style to a very short cut. She listened to me, told me what she was going to do, asked questions along the way and viola my cut was amazing, and 2 weeks after the cut remains amazing. Love that they have late nights and Saturday availability. The salon is so comfortable and welcoming. read more

Ryan is still killing it, always delivering on exactly what I ask for and going above and beyond to make sure I look and feel good when I step outside the salon. He has guided me through years of color changes, different styles, and is always honest with me about my expectations and what will work for my hair. He never pushes unnecessary products and is always respectful of my time and comfort. Even during the Covid pandemic, the salon has made changes to ensure everyone's safety and sanitation is upheld. I continue to feel really good about my experiences there, and recommend Brag to all my friends. read more

Well, it's been over a dozen years, and something like a hundred haircuts (!) since my review, and so I guess it is time to update it. The business has since moved to a nice, new location in downtown Renton, and even opened up a second salon in Burien, but my rating is still five stars. Karly continues to be great, and Sarah has cut my hair too. Book an appointment online - you will likely be happy you did. read more

Scheduled online for a cut with Ashley Rose. She's really nice, such a good listener and communicator, and so meticulous with the wash. She was so careful and gentle. I brought in a couple style pics and she was honest and talked thru what I should expect with each pic. Once we decided on the cut, it was pretty quick process. Really happy with her service. I'd definitely book with her again. read more

Very happy with my haircut. Staff is very friendly and it is a very classy and comfortable salon. Looking forward to my next appointment!

The salon is in a building apartment complex. When you enter, they have a cute little waiting area. I came in for a haircut appointment, and booked it with Amanda. Let me just start off by saying, Amanda is amazing!! She's super friendly, laid back, and knowledgeable. When I say she's knowledgeable, I mean it!! I've been struggling with my own hair and how to care for it. Amanda is like my own hair guru. She gave me tips and tricks for hair care, knew what products I needed and what products I did not need. As for the haircut itself, she gave me exactly what I was looking for. From the cut, to the wash and the blow out, I'm in love with my new hair. Beginning to end, my experience here was great! Def would recommenced. Also, they only accept appointments, make sure to call before walking in. read more

I asked for balayage and she gave me more than what I had in mind. I wanted a caramel/natural look. She was very friendly and informative about my hair that was previously damage from other salons. Sara did a job well done!! I will def will be back for a root touch. Place- was Chic, simple and clean. There's a transit center in a walking distance and many diverse restaurants near by. The salon is located under a new apartment with plenty of parking (2 hours max) I think. Vibe- friendly. Not a snooty salon. read more

What an amazing experience! I needed a color partial/mini in prep for ana interview and scheduled an appt. with Courtney. (No pressure there!) She was patient, listened to my concerns and the issues with my difficult hair. The salon support was great, and the result was a wonderful match to my existing highlights and a plan for how to keep my style looking great for the next few months. A follow up appt has already been made and I recommend that you consider making one with Courtney for your holiday look or for the "New You" in the New Year! read more

Brag is incredible. I cannot believe I didn't have to drive downtown, pay valet parking and spend $150 on this haircut. Karly is THAT GOOD. First let me start with the salon- EASY to find, 5 minutes off 405, walking distance from little restaurants in the rejuvenated part of downtown Renton. Parking is right next to the building (or across the road) and easy to see. Inside it's adorable. Elegant and classy, very clean and decorated very on trend and pretty. It feels comfortable and the stylists are all chatting with their customers so none of that weird cliquish feeling you see at some salons where the stylists chatter amongst themselves and you sit there afraid to ask a question. Because of this individual focus, I was able to ask every silly question I had and I learned so much. I have long, thick hair and the usual unrealistic expectations (haha - you know the type... I bring in a photo of some celebrity 20 years younger than me with a totally different look and ask for your hair to do that!) and Karly was incredible. She really listened - not just to what I wanted but to how much time I want to spend on my hair, what I do (and don't) like about getting layers, and so on. By listening she discovered that the way my hair had been layered in the past was likely the reason I had so much trouble curling it. She was right! We talked about products and she gave me advice on both spendy and less expensive options, because she's realistic enough to know we don't all have unlimited funds. They sell Unite products (which are incredible) but are not pushy about product sales which I also appreciated. That said Unite is amazing and every product smells better than the last. I left Brag feeling great- not only did I feel pretty with my new haircut, I knew I could do it myself. And this morning I got up and did it. I am at work now, collecting compliments- yay me. (BTW my current profile pic is from last summer and I am with my horse- dirty old hair, pls don't blame Karly if you don't like it LOL) THANK YOU- BRAG! #teamkarly PS- I did see some negative posts and I am SO glad I ignored them. You know why I overlooked them and went to Brag? Because I noticed that people either 1) didn't even go back to get the issue fixed (good grief if you sit there and say you love it and leave, how can they make it better) and 2) some of them don't even seem real 3) some people just don't make sense- I saw a complaint about online booking and it worked perfect for me (and I work in the software industry so I am pretty picky). I chose my stylist at Brag by reading these reviews, reading their bios off their terrific website and booking online- and you can leave a note to call and they will BTW. Sorry for the negative review rant but folks- this is a female owned business by a young lady who is out there doing GREAT hair. I hate whiners. Go to Brag, you won't regret it. Trust me, I know things. read more

Friendly, upbeat stylists. Relaxing atmosphere. Bright, clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this salon.

I have been having my hair colored and cut by Alyssa for a couple years now. She understands men's color and we have a summer and winter color set up depending on how much sun I am getting. I have a basic short cut but she makes slight adjustments to it based on current styles. I highly recommend her for men's color and haircuts. She is off on maternity leave at this time and hope she is doing well with her little one! The salon itself is clean, modern, and well-run. It has parking out front. They have consistently followed COVID procedures over the past year. read more

Alyssa did a wonderful job giving me a low maintenance ombré, which is exactly what I wanted! Salon is very clean, and I would say worth the price for services though prices need to be updated on their website because she informed me (before she did anything) what the price was which was higher than listed. read more

We came to brag because it was so close to home and thought we could check it out based on their great reviews. What a great salon! Clean, smells amazing, great music, and all the staff is welcoming and professional! My mom was the first client and had Morgan as a stylist. What an absolute gem! My mom loved her so much that I felt compelled to become her client myself, and nothing but satisfaction resulted from my appointment. Morgan is amazing, she is very professional yet so bubbly with her customers, I got to know her and needless to say, her work is amazing. I got a sun kissed balayage done for the very first time (never had any type of permanent work done before.) She knew what I wanted from the second I told her and delivered beautifully. I felt so ecstatic with the final result. Thank you Morgan! Keep up the great work, you now have two more loyal customers! read more

I walked into Brag with a big ask, take down the blonde that had been overdone by another stylist. Alyssa delivered! She is absolutely a master at her craft, and took the time to really understand what I wanted - and then take it to the next level. She is hands down the best stylist! The salon itself is always clean and feels welcoming, everyone really seems to enjoy being there. read more

Few month ago Alyssa did my hair. She did a great job, so I decided to schedule another appointment with her. Appointment is at least month ahead of time, so my appointment was confirmed. Week before appointment I received a message that my appointment is canceled because Alyssa is pregnant and she is not able to work. She told me to schedule another appointment, so I need to wait another month. Now I have to look for someone else, since it's my wedding. Really irresponsible and stupid. If you cannot work, you have to provide me an appointment at the same day at the same time. Really disappointed read more

I've been going to see Ryan at Brag Salon for a couple years now. Great service and environment. He's the best. read more

It's pretty hard for me to find a salon or a stylist that could get my hair the way I want it, so when I moved to the area, I was really hesitant on getting my hair done since I had no idea how to start looking for someone. Luckily, I came across Brag and the first person available for a balayage was Alyssa. I took my shot and scheduled an appointment. Alyssa was right on time with my appointment and was just the sweetest thing! I let her know what I wanted and showed her pictures. She was very realistic with me in terms of how light I could actually go with my base color. She even gave me a cut for my ends so that she could go a little lighter without damaging my hair. So thoughtful! It was an extra $50 for the trim, which I thought was a bit much but she did a great job and my hair felt great afterwards. Throughout the process, I didn't feel like Alyssa rushed anything at all. The whole thing took around 4 hours, yikes! Lots of patience on both ends, for sure. The color came out a little darker than what I showed her in the pictures but it definitely didn't surprise me since she did warn of my dark base. Overall, I'm really happy with the results and with Alyssa as my stylist. I can't wait to be back to have her work her magic on my hair again! read more

Sadly, my experiences at Brag have varied quite significantly. After having one of the best haircuts of my adult life on my last visit, I had a pretty dismal color experience following. I wanted a bayalage, as I'd had a terrific introduction to this coloring technique, but this time around was to be much less terrific, and much more brassy. To be frank, it was REALLY brassy. I didn't realize the extent of the issue until the next day, in broad daylight, and I was pretty horrified. To be fair, when I contacted Alyssa about the issue, she did offer to try again, but our schedules just wouldn't mesh. So, I did some creative styling until I could see someone else. In summary, Brag seems to be really hit or miss, so if you're willing to roll the dice, you could have a fantastic experience... or not as much. read more

I got in for a last minute hair cut with Courtney and could not be happier! I have curly hair and seeing a new stylist always causes so much anxiety, but now I am happy to say I am 100% confident in Courtney's touch with natural curls. So happy to have found THE ONE right here in Renton! Will definitely be a regular here :) read more

I speciAlly came in here because of the great reviews on Here but I'm so disappointed , the place is really nice and clean , but I had come in for highlights n I ended up going home with hidden highlights they weren't even peakaboo highlights cuz one is randomly all the way in the back under lots of hair , I though maybe I go home and part it someway so it would show but no help , I also got a hair cut which I really like but I ended up paying 100 dollars for all of it !!! I def don't mind paying the money but It's just not worth it , Sarah wAs a nice lady but def dint do my highlights right and I'm mad I spent time off work n spend 100 on basically nothing but a 30 dollar haircut . I'm def not coming back n I would not recommend it to no body !! Maybe another stylist there might b better but I'm not seeing Sarah again . Today was the first day I washed it I got it done This Tuesday n the color is now orange with one wash !! Def a waste of money !!! NEVER AGAIN !!! read more

After googling and yelping, I finally made an appointment with JANE last week. But before making the appointment online (thru their website) I tried to email them and asked some questions. Karly replied in a flash! And that was like 10:30ish in the evening. Her emaul was very friendly, detailed and helpful. That gave me a very good impression right away. I was impressed on how Karly made me feel important just by replying to me so quick! That already tells a lot about how Brag values their customers. So anyways, Karly & I were emailing back and forth then I was lucky enough to book Jane. Many yelpers gave her awesome reviews so I was excited to see her. I came a little early and was able to park right across their salon. When I came in Karly acknowledged me and welcomed me with a smile. In less than 10mins Jane came out and said hi to me. What a cute little gal! I was happy to not wait so long. In most salons even if you have scheduled time, you'll still end up waiting like you're in a doctor's office. Jane is very nice and easy to talk too. She has a very sweet voice and smiles a lot too. She always asked if I'm doing okay or if I need anything. I told her about my hair issues, what I want to do with it, showed her some photos, etc. She listened and gave suggestions. Jane is not like the other stylists I've been to before, she will really try her best and give you what you want. She gave me a great layered haircut and colored my hair in 2 colors (color blocking is what they call it). I told her I want RED. She did explain to me how hard it is to achieve the kind of bright red I like so she suggested to go for a more deep red like red violet. So we did it. The color was nice. She styled my hair too and Oh boy I felt like a movie star :) whatever products she used I liked it! Smells so yummy! I went home happy and I got many compliments the next day at work. But somehow I was not "feeling" the dark red color. So after 1 more day I emailed Jane and told her what I felt. I wanted to come see her again and redo the color. I know she was booked for the next weeks so I told her I don't mind if I see other stylists. Jane suprised me with her work ethics and professionalism. She replied to me the same day and said she could see me the coming Monday! She even explained what we will need to do if I want to go for the brighter red. So there I was, back again at Brag with Jane. She took her time to give me the color I wanted until we were the only people left at the salon and did not charge me anything! I was really worried to come back because I thought Jane would be irritated at me. Who would want to repeat all the work right? But she was still very nice. She made sure that she achieved what I really wanted. Now that's customer service! I would definitely come back and would recommend this salon to all of you! And Jane is of course 5 stars! The only reason I gave an over all 4 star review is because they don't have snacks :) lol well that's just me. It's nice to snack on something with your coffee or tea especially if you're there for 2 hours or so :P read more

Today was my first visit to this place and it was good. Sarah did my hair well, I like what I get. My hair was long and it was like haycock. As a result: nice haircut (layers) and balayage. Now I like my hair and I will definitely come back to make something new and original. Thank you Sarah!! But one thing I didn't like about the Salon: a lot of dust on the furniture. read more

Kelsey is the owner of this lovely salon in Renton. The salon itself is comfortable while being contemporary. Not too over the top with the glam. I enjoyed the energy at Brag with several other hair dressers and many customers. I went in with a big bushy head full of curly hair out of control. My dark blonde hair with light blonde beachy streaks seems to be difficult for many hair dressers. Kelsy gave me a great curly cut that is proving to be user friendly. I might try color next time. I am very happy with Kelsey and Brag Salon and I do recommend her. read more

So today I had my second hair color appointment with Morgan...someone who I found totally randomly on of all places Yelp. My initial appointment was for a basic root touch up, during which time I casually inquired about Balayage Jump to today~ I just had Morgan do my Balayage and I couldn't be happier. I was a tiny bit surprised when she used foils, as the last time I had this service elsewhere I don't recall them being used. Nonetheless the outcome was FLAWLESS so whatever she did...I love it!! She's friendly, easy to talk with and really listens to what it is you want. And then she delivers! Other pluses are that all the staff here are so warm and attentive when you arrive. I had two different people check in with me to assure me Morgan would be right out. Space is a lovely mix of relaxed/professional; you can really tell that everyone here cares, whether it's their client or someone else's. This is a lovely salon and I recommend it highly :) read more

All for Jane. I finally found my hair person in the Pacific Northwest. WOO HOO! It was so hard getting booked with her, but it was worth the wait. Am very happy with my color and cut. Seeing Jane in 2 months. Parking is street, but a block and a half away they have 4 hour street parking. read more

Easy to make appointments online. Ryan was prompt and on time for my reservation. Ryan gave me a detailed consultation to make sure he understood what I wanted then proceeded to give me a wonderful haircut and style. He was confident and kind throughout my entire service. I was very nervous to have a new person cut my hair, but I left feeling comfortable and excited for my new cut. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a new stylist. The shop was also very clean and organized with ample parking. Thanks Ryan! read more

I booked an appointment to get a partial balayage, and the day of my appointment the stylist called me to tell me she was running about 20 minutes late. That's not a big deal, but she wasn't able to take me until 30 minutes after my appointment time; frustrating but not the end of the world. When I got home I noticed my cut and color were uneven, but they were willing to book me again to fix it for free. The morning of my appointment, around 20 minutes before, I receive a call saying that the stylist would have to cancel. I specifically made the second appointment early in the day because that was their only slot available that week and I go on vacation the next week. Between the inconsistencies with their schedules, bad results, and attitudes with one of the stylists, it was a pretty bad experience and would not recommend to anyone. read more

I just had my 1st experience with Tara, she did an amazing job with my hair and she really tried to make sure I was completely satisfied with the result, she explained exactly what it was going to be done before she did anything to my hair and I ending loving it. The reason why I give 4 stars is because the environment around the salon was kinda "heavy", although is super nice inside I noticed none of the stylist talk to each other, felt really weird like they don't like each other or who knows. Out of that the service was great. read more

I left a very large salon almost two years ago and fortunately began seeing stylist Jodi at Brag and it has been a perfect match. She cut my hair exactly as I requested and when it was time for a color she recommended a darker look and it has been so perfect. The salon is clean, welcoming and COVID compliant. Highly recommend and so happy to have such a great business in Renton. read more

I went to see Alyssa to retouch my balayage and a trim. I absolutely love my hair, she did everything I asked and then some.
