Ann is amazing. I just got the best haircut of my life! I had a not so great haircut elsewhere a few weeks earlier, and it was impossible to style. I had seen awesome reviews for Ideal Salon and decided to give it a try. Ann took me the same day I called. She went through my hair and found so many problems, including it being uneven along the bottom, and fixed it. The style she gave me fits my face and personality perfectly. And it's so easy to style. I could not be happier. Also, Ann is about 1/2 the price of all the places in downtown Edmonds. Save your money and get the best! Go to Ann at Ideal Salon. read more

Sue has done color, highlights, deep conditioning, and a cut for me multiple times and I am always happy. Her prices are incredibly affordable and you don't have to wait too long for an appointment. I highly recommend Sue at Ideal Salon! read more

She gave me the worst hair cut I ever had one side longer then the other and the one side was cut so bad I told her I was growing it out she cut it short. Went back to see if she could somehow fix the one side and she started cutting the bad side again. Now I have to go pay another stylist to try and fix it. She should listen to what her customers want not what she wants to do. I would never step foot in her business again read more

Just did a walk in and decided to pop in here for my son's long hair. He wanted to keep it long to grow out, but needed to be cleaned up and trimmed. Sue knew exactly what to do! Very friendly and knowledgeable. She kept his hair long, but totally cleaned up, shaped and gave it life again! Thanks agaib read more

A hidden gem of Edmonds! Sue is amazing. I brought my daughter in for her first hair cut. At that time she was almost two. A year later (since her hair growth is still slow and steady) I brought her in again to get her second hair cut. We left the salon happy and super excited to show the new style off. I'm pretty sure you've guessed it, my daughter and I found a stylist who we can trust with her hair. Sue was very friendly, followed all safety protocols (due to COVID), and she was very accommodating. If you live in the area or even visiting and need a cut without having to pay all those super high marked prices for bougie cuts, keep it local and support you small business' like Ideal Salon. Call ahead to schedule an appointment! read more

Sue is THE BEST! I have blonde hair and it is always tough to find the perfect shade of blonde. I go to her for full highlights and now haircuts. She did amazing with my layers and is SO SO fast :) I drive over an hour to see her. :) Well worth the drive! read more

I was trying to find a new stylist. Sue was my third try. I love her. She "fixed" my new hair cut. She's very experienced and fast. Her prices are reasonable. read more

I got a GroupOn for partial highlights here and I really wanted it to work out. Sadly, it ended up being a nightmare and I had to spent $300+ at another salon for them to correct the highlights that Sue did. I wanted subtle highlights to enhance my natural color, and instead got horrible white, streaky lines. So ugly! I feel bad because Sue is really nice, but this was definitely a lesson learned for me. read more

UPDATE: It's been six years and I'm still going to Sue for my cut and color. Each time I leave Sue's salon my hair feels and looks great. Several people have asked me "who does my hair" I'm happy to refer them to Ideal Salon. THANKS SO MUCH SUE!!! I decided to look for high rated salons in the Edmonds area since I recently moved from Bellevue. Ideal salon came up under my google search. Since I had no referral, nor did I know anything about the salon or the owner Sue, I was kind of taking a chance. Boy am I glad I did !!! Sue colored and cut my hair with such precision I was amazed. She is a master at her trade and it clearly shows. I am very pleased with my hair and will now be a regular customer at Ideal salon. Thank you Sue! read more

Sue has been cutting and coloring my hair for several years. The cut is always exactly what I want and the color is beautiful - beyond my expectations for natural looking color with well blended highlights. I receive lots of compliments on her work. She is kind and caring and on top of that I always leave with beautiful hair. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Ideal Salon. Sue did an awesome job with my full foil. I have received alot of compliments on my highlights and my hair cut. She was very accommodating to get me squeezed into her schedule. Sue has several years of experience and I would highly recommend that you to try out her expertise. read more

I wanted to like this salon, since it's in my neighborhood and had good ratings on Yelp. I didn't want to leave a bad review because Sue (owner) is nice), but this hair cut goes down in history as one of the worst cuts I have ever gotten in my life. I went into the salon and talked to Sue about what I wanted done before she started and even pointed to a photo on her wall, which was exactly what I asked for. Very simply, all I wanted was a short bob with a long layer. This is the MOST basic of haircuts. I repeated myself at least 4 times that I wanted the back to turn under and wanted a short bob. She even said, "OK, OK, I've got it," since I repeated myself so many times. Instead, she gave me a short bouffant style that is a hot mess. The hair is flipping up and going in all different directions. She put so many layers in that you have got to be kidding, after my very clear directions. In fact, she kept saying how thick my hair was and how much hair I had, and then she proceeded to get the thinning shears and thinned it all out, so it sits flat on my head like a wet rat. I finally said to her, "What are you doing? Stop it!" It's horrible. If I had been unclear, maybe I would understand it. I would post a pic, but I am sorry, it is too embarrassing. I look terrible, and hate this cut. I think Sue likes to talk and got caught up in talking and got into a zone of cutting without even thinking about what she was doing. I can tell when a cut is good, because I don't even need a brush to blow dry. I can use my fingers. Even with a brush, this cut is wonky to the 1000th degree. I paid her and gave her a tip, which was a mistake. I should not have done either for this awful cut. read more

I've been getting partial foils here for about a year now. Sue, the owner, does a great job and her prices are so reasonable! She blends blond highlights just right, I've always been happy with her work. I encourage you to support this wonderful small business owner in Edmonds! read more

Got a groupon for cut and deep conditioning. Sue did fantastic work on my hair. It looks great and is silky smooth. I would recommend her for sure! read more

Do not recommend. I went in and showed Sue multiple pictures of what I wanted and she agreed to that, I asked questions to make sure she understood what I wanted as well and she said that she did. I wanted partial highlights beginning in the front roots of my hair, however towards the back they were to start more at the bottom (which is sort of balayage look). Sue said she understood this, however proceeded to highlight the back of my hair very heavily, and did highlights in the front however they began in a straight line, and around 3 inches down from my roots. When I told her this was not what I wanted, she argued with me and said that that is what I said I wanted. I had a Groupon for "partial highlights" that I was going to use, and was stuck with a horrible orange color of highlights that was completely different from the photos I had showed her. When I told her this was not the color I wanted, she told me it would be an extra $30 to pay for toner to change the color. I paid for the toner, only to discover that Sue only toned the BACK of my hair, not the front. Therefore, the back was a better brunette (my hair is very dark brown) but the front was still an ugly orange blonde. I told Sue that I wanted another appointment to fix my hair because I did not like it, and she told me that I should like my hair because "that is the style now days. She agreed that she did not tone the front of my hair, but said that I would have to pay for more toner and more highlight if she was going to fix it. I did like my haircut, and did like my deep conditioning treatment, however I would not recommend this place for coloring. read more

I am SO thrilled with my hair. I have now visited Sue at Ideal, three different times. She has cut my hair, done a foil, and now has done a perm on my long hair. My hair is soft, sexy and curly. I LOVE it! Sue is fabulous, very affordable and always gives top notch hair care. read more

I have been coming to this salon for over a year. Sue is amazing. She does fabulous color and the cut is amazing. We are moving out of Edmonda in the next year, but I will drive to have her do my hair. She's THAT good. Highly recommend! read more

I am so thankful, and down right excited to have discovered Sue and her hair cutting mastery today at Ideal Salon! It has seriously been many years since I felt so completely satisfied and excited about a haircut that I had just received! Sue cut my hair with the highly trained eye of an artist, precision and the expertise that can only come from years of experience as a stylist, combined with having a natural gift. The hairstyle I was envisioning for myself, when I arrived with a photo in hand to show her, is exactly the striking style that I walked out of the salon with today! How often has that been your experience? Certainly hasn't ever consistently been mine. I drove away today with a large smile on my face! I can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing I have found the talented, personable and yet ever still professional Master Hair Stylist and salon owner to entrust my thick, wavy, long blond locks to. Can we get a hallelujah?! Ideal salon itself is humble in it's decor and yet inviting and clean. I personally do not need a fancy, schmancy salon, especially when I know I will leave my appointment looking fantastic and with a lot more money still in my account! Extra attention was given to thoroughly cleaning the styling chairs in between clients and before I sat down. Sue's efforts to make sure her customer's health is safe in her salon amidst the Covid-19 pandemic was reassuring to witness as well! read more

Great professional team of experts for all of your hair beauty services. Couldn't wish for a better place to go to relax in Edmonds WA - right off Olympic View Drive. Highly recommend Sue! read more

Originally went because I had a Groupon, but Sue did such a great job that I've been back many times over the last couple years. Sue always does a great job, is very friendly and the prices can't be beat. My first time there my nav system messed up and I was late because I couldn't find the place. When I finally arrived about 15 minutes late, I wasn't rushed and got the same quality service. I highly recommend. read more

This was my second time coming into Ideal Salon to see Sue (in Jan 2020 but late to writing the review). She is so sweet and good at what she does. I have naturally curly hair and wanted to cut above my shoulders as well as a partial foil. She understands how to cut curly hair and the foil was perfect! On top of it, Sue gave me one of the curly hair gels she used in my hair so I could take it home and use it. I was so pleasantly surprised and use it often; the product does a fantastic job at bringing out curls. Thank you, Sue! read more

I have had my hair done here 3 times now, foils and haircuts and I have been super happy evert time! sue is great. she asks questions and also gives her professional advice. all my friends ask me where I get my hair done because she does such a good job. highly recommend!!!! read more

I am so happy with my new haircut and color. It's perfect! The cut was absolutely perfect, the highlights are exactly what I wanted. My husband took one look at me and said "that is a really nice haircut and the color is so soft and beautiful!" Really Sue is the Best! I will forever recommend her to everyone I know. Her prices are excellent! Plus she was able to squeeze me in on the same day! Looking forward to seeing the reaction when I go to work today. read more

Great Hair Color. Sue has always done an outstanding job on my color and highlights. I'm constantly complimented by friends and co-workers at how nice of color I have.

Found this salon and Sue thru Groupon for partial highlights. Decided to also get a haircut and am so happy I did! I've searched high and low for someone to cut my wavy/curly, cow-licked hair that has befuddled me every single day of my life. In my search I've visited salon after salon, had expensive cuts from "expert" stylists but the cuts always left me unbelievably frustrated because I had to settle for liking my hair ONLY about 2 weeks between cuts whether it was 6 weeks or 6 months. This time was different as I walked out of the salon after Sue's cut, loving the cut from that point on until she cut it the next time! And my hair was unbelievably easy to managed all during the time between! Easy to manage and quick to fix! Life saver!!! And people that don't have wavy/curly, cow-licked hair that has no symmetry do not understand that every day is an ordeal. This is the first time in my life (at 61 years of age) I've enjoyed my hair and haircuts from cut to cut! Needless to say, I can't give Sue a higher recommendation!!!! read more

I have been going to Sue at Ideal Salon for 4 year now for both full and partial highlights. She puts in A LOT of foils using several shades so they blend into beautiful blonde highlights. She has the best prices in town and she is VERY fast! She can do a full foil and cut with my long hair in under 2 hours, I love watching how fast she foils! I can go 10-12 weeks before another visit. Can't beat the affordability and quality from Sue! read more

I've been coming to Ideal Salon for a number of years, and I couldn't be happier. Sue takes such good care of my hair, including cut, color and Keratin treatment. I always look forward to my appointment and a good catch up with Sue. I highly recommend this hair salon! read more

Sue is very kind and profession. She does an exceptional job on my hair. I'm very picky and it can be difficult to find someone who knows how to cut curly hair. She also charges a lot less than most Salons around here and the quality is much better than other places I've been. I highly recommend Sue at Ideal Salon if you need a cut or highlights. read more

I recently moved to Edmonds and I found this salon through Yelp. Sue listened attentively to what I wanted. She gave me her suggestions and we agreed on a style. Washing my hair, she was so gentle so I don't have to worry about the sore neck I usually end up with at a salon. The cost was very reasonable and fair. Next time I'll get a cut and color since I trust her. Great service! Good location, and good price. read more

I always leave the salon after my color and cut saying, "I LOVE IT". Sue, the owner, definitely wants to make sure her clients are happy and well taken care of. The prices are exceptional, and her expertise is without question. I just give her a short verbal of the style I want and she understands exactly what I am talking about. I have never been disappointed with the service I receive at Ideal Salon. Sue treats me like a friend and always remembers the stories I have told her. I feel special and beautiful after my visits and would not consider going anywhere else. Thanks Sue! Laurie B. read more

Got another great cut from Sue yesterday. I'm so happy to have found such a good hair stylist right here in my neighborhood, and appreciate the reasonable price as well. She does an excellent hair cut -- haven't tried out the coloring yet, but may some day, I'm sure that will be great too. Tx, Sue! read more
