However, Crystal Di Tomassi at Dolce Salon &…read moreSpa deserves many, many Kudos and I just feel like telling everybody about how great she is!!! I saw Crystal yesterday for the first time for a color and haircut. I can't express enough how much I love what she did! I have to say that I'm pretty picky about my hair and don't trust easily when it comes to salon services. I've had plenty of botch jobs over the years. Crystal is definitely very skilled at both cutting and coloring hair. She is also a wonderful listener, which is so important in order to get the desired end results. She is on top of her game as a stylist and I am recommending her highly to anyone and everyone!

I am new to town and needed a place to get my hair done. I was referred to Rayna's International,…read moreand I was blown away by the professionalism and courteousness. It is nothing like when you go to an African shop to get your hair done and unlike most African-American shops I have seen thrown together. Rayna is multi-talented and multi-faceted with hair, pocketbooks, seasonings, and reading material. They are placed strategically for view. When I arrived, she had just completed her previous customer, and promptly began with me. The out come of my crochet braids were dynamic. They are still in from the beginning of December, and can probably run a few more weeks.

The Good * Promptly penciled me in…read more * Offered refreshments (wine,water,coffee) * Got me In and Out * Accepts Credit Card * Comp'd Trim The Bad * Prices are steep * Wash wasn't thorough My Experience... I mentioned i had been scratching and didnt get a chance to oil she stated the relaxer she was using was not going to burn... I've been getting relaxers since i was 10; If you've been scratching, that shit is gonna burn! Needless to say, she didnt oil my scalp, instead she sprayed oil sheen on my scalp (?) and although she was fast at sectioning and spreading she had to make more relaxer and it was tingling/burning within 5-10 min. She brought me to the wash station where i received at least 2 washes and then proceeded with a deep conditioning. I didn't feel like the wash was thorough which is a big negative for me. However, the deep conditioning treatment was very enjoyable. From there, I was under the dryer for a bit and then brought to her chair where she proceeded to blow dry, flatiron and trim my hair. Overall, I was pleased with the finished product. Price.. Relaxer/Style, Trim (Comp'd, reg. $35) Deep Conditioning (?? not sure if that was incl. w/ the wash) = $130 (140 after tip) Note: Only 1 stylist. Books by appointment only. She does it all.

Best hair salon around. Betsy and Yahow are great and they make everyone feel right at home. My…read morewife has been going to YAHOW's for quite some time and loves the care received. The salon is on East Valley Hwy., just south of 99 Ranch. It's situated in a red brick home that has been converted. Warm, cozy and loving atmosphere. Yahow is knowledgeable about so many things, especially foods, and can carry on a great conversation no matter the topic. I tag along with my wife just so I can converse with Yahow while she's getting her hair done. Make an appointment today. You won't be disappointed.

Here's how we ended up here the first time: The boy needed a haircut, and I wanted to cut hair…read more I've "cut" hair before - if cutting and then shaving someone's head counts. Anyway, I've seen it done. It doesn't look so hard. So why wouldn't I be able to do it? I'm smart. I'm detail-oriented. I'm a perfectionist. I should be able to give rocking haircuts. No, the haircut didn't turn out as well as I thought. First of all, I had to work with a pair of office scissors and a moving head. I cut the back (that went kind of well). Then I trimmed the right side, then the left side of his head. That's when I noticed the left was shorter, so I had to go back and trim more from the right. And vice versa (I'm sure you all can see where this is going.). Before I got to the point of no return (i.e. the point in which a shaved head was the only other option), I was stopped. After scouring the Internet, we realized that there were no haircut chains nearby. That's when I co-worker suggested Yahow and his wife, Betsy, who had a place about 5 minutes from our office. He called, and we got an appointment with Betsy for later that afternoon. I would have never found this place without assistance: it's a brick building located on a fairly busy street in Kent, across from the "Great Wall" Asian marketplace, and next to a shooting gallery. It really does look just like a house from the street, with large green trees covering it from the main street and a nice sized yard, perfect for a dog. Betsy is amazing. Not only did she fix my botched hair job, but she did a great job with styling (we're talking about a guy who has probably never heard of the word "style" in relation to physical appearance). We've gone back since, for haircuts for the both of us - always with great results. I've always been very satisfied leaving here. I've also purchased some great hair care products (shampoo, mostly) when I've left. The price of a wash and cut is very reasonable for a hair salon: The two of us run about $60 (tip included). The couple that runs the place is a pair of sweet Issaquah locals. They have a very loyal client base (which is why I suspect that there isn't much of a marketing effort), and they remember all their clients by name. I called today to schedule a hair appointment (we got every 3-4 months), and ended up on the phone for 10 minutes, catching up. It's kind of like Cheers (where everybody knows your name) - only for hair.
