Ismael saved my hair! I came in with black box dyed hair that i colored red over top and it was a disaster before I came to Ismalss Hair Boutique. He was honest about what we could do realistically and got straight to work with great pricing. I asked for a dark cherry red and got exactly what I asked for! He was super fun and easy to talk to and offered me coffee while I was waiting for my hair to process. He wasn't just doing a service, he was very friendly and engaging and puts a lot of thought and care into the work he does and gave me a unique hair formula for what i wanted and what would look best. 10/10 would recommend going to Ismael! read more

Ismalss Hair Boutique - Makeup Artists Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I've visited Ismael's salon just once so far. He did a haircut for me. It looks very good and I think it's one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I have very fine hair and it's difficult to find a person who can make a haircut which would look good without styling. Ismael did a beautiful work. My hair is much shorter than what I would have thought of, but I am very happy. read more

I got my hair balayaged by Ismalss and showed him a picture of what I wanted. When I came home it was not what I asked for at all. I feel taken advantage of. Not only was it $350, I've asked for a refund multiple times and I'll be honest my hair is messed up and I'm EMBARRASSED of my hair. I have not received a refund and he told me he will not be giving me a refund. I cannot wear my hair down because of how bad it is. I am not the type of person to leave reviews like this but I have tried talking to him multiple times and he blames me. When I talked about the photo and that is how I wanted my hair he tells me "well you only showed me the front of the hair not the back" I would think it's common sense if someone shows you a photo of a full balayage that means the back of the head as well. I asked for a full balayage and what I got was baby highlights with thick blonde pieces in the front, the ends of my hair are blonde, basically no balayage, and nothing is blended like a full balayage would be. Also I would like to mention when he was placing bleach at the top of my hair he pulled my neck all the way back and I was so uncomfortable, and he clearly could tell I was uncomfortable and did nothing. I have been nice and asked for a refund and explained what is wrong with my hair but I get no response. I hope you learn from this, and don't treat another client like this again because this so completely unprofessional. Before you start doing a different style than what your client showed you, show your client what you are talking about and ask if they want this instead. When your client has an issue with something that you have done, try not to blame them like you did me. I will never be returning and I will not be recommending people to you. read more

Ismael is amazing! He goes above and beyond for me on all my visits, whether it's a last minute cut or for an important occasion. I have been going to him for the last three years and will keep on going back! read more

Dont bother! This guy is so messed up I didnt even make it to his chair. His manners were so bad I wasnt going to take a chance with my hair. Checking his website he was wide open to do a full foil...but when I called because I mentioned a coupon he said he didnt want to do me on a weekend because I would be taking time away from regular clients...not cool, cause arent you supposed to get me in and then wow me so I will be a regular client. So mistake one. 2nd mistake...I agree to Monday (I was calling on a Friday)...I text him as he requested and even wrote in the text the MOnday confirmation...an hour later I get a text from him saying im late for my appointment...what?? 3rd mistake....I ask a question about foils and highlights and he keeps ignoring the question and keeps asking me for the voucher #...I keep explaining IM not buying till he can awnser. 4th mistake...I text and say nicell, please cancel its all to confusing...He has the nerve to text me back being rude and a smart ass saying "nothing to cancel, you have no appointment" DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT his service....if he acts like that before you get to his chair can you imagine who messed up he would be when your explaining what you want. Save your head and pay more instead of being enticed by his coupons! read more

Ismalss Hair Boutique - Men haircuts are about $20 - Makeup Artists Near Me - Redmond, Washington

See all

I was spoiled as a child growing up with an uncle that owned a very well known salon on Broadway in Seattle. Then, my sister worked for Aveda for years and cared for my hair. After they moved away I was left without someone that knew how to deal with my hair. So I settled--Hairmasters, Great Cuts, Etc...!!! I met a woman while on vacation in Santa Barbara that did a great job, but I couldn't convince her to fly to me once a month. Anyhow, Ismael is awesome! I started going to him about a year ago, and now my whole family (five of us) have our hair done by him. I have even been stopped in a restaurant by a mom in the area asking where my kids have their hair cut. I recommend him to all of my friends. read more

My mistake was to mention a dealfind coupon on 2 cuts to book my appointment. I went in on a weekday at 2. I was offered tea and I was basically made to sit with the hair mask that I was supposed to get for about an hr. I was fine with the deep conditioning as I got a manicure and pedi while waiting. The lady who does that is absolutely amazing so no complaints there. I got a scalp massage from Benajmin which was not firm so I thought he was just washing my hair or something in 'cold' water. After that was done I was lead to the chair for Ismalss to cut my hair. I told him I wanted less volume but in short layers at the same time maintaining my original length, so that whether my hair was curly or straight it would be manageable without having to style it. I wanted it to look less voluminous when curly. He twisted my hair into 5 partitions and cut it from bottom up, vacuumed a lot of hair out and said your cut is done. I was like seriously? It wasn't a 30 min cut like the lady in one of the reviews mentioned but it took him all of 5 mins to cut the 5 sections and call it done. I thought stylists need to measure and frame ur face to make sure they cut it the right length on both sides on layers. Then he kinda half heartedly blow dried my hair and gave it a curl at the end and said "This is a cut to suit curly hair". I asked him to give me some angled bands and he said it wont suit my curly hair but did it half heartedly. I asked him if he would blow dry it straight so i could see if it was a cut that would suit me and he said he'd have to charge me an extra 35 bucks to do that. When I asked him about getting partial highlights in the front he quoted an extra 35 for long hair so I skipped on that. Whatever products he used to set my hair, I was allergic and my scalp was itching that day. When I got home my husband commented that it looked like the worst cut I ever got. I had to wash my hair to get rid of the products and lo and behold once I towel dried my hair was super voluminous around my face and completely uneven. I was cringing. I had lost my curls in the end and the ends just looked terrible and like I had split ends or something from a razor cut. I tried straightening it out and that didn't help either coz the terrible random uneven cut looked more obvious. I finally ended up going to a different salon to get my layers fixed. This might be a good place for ppl who have straight hair to get a cut but not for curly haired people. I'd also like to say that I had a dealfind for two haircuts and this guy refused to honor my second appointment by sending me on a wild goose chase after dealfind for not sending his payments. The voucher expired and I couldn't use it. I would stay away from this stylist just for the terrible experience and customer service. read more

Ismael is a great person with an awesome personality and sense of style. He is by far my favorite hairstylist, he pays extreme attention to my needs but also does what he considers to be best for my facial features (when I ask him). I think having beautiful, well taken care of hair is essential, and Ismael does a great job of making it look rejuvenated. I would also like to mention that he does use organic products, and he knows about the latest hair techniques, products. Whenever I leave out of the salon, I feel fabulous. read more

While he has great reviews and he does as the client ask. I also feel he took advantage. I went in to get my baby sisters hair done for her 15th birthday party (Quinceanera). Originally he was suppose to do hair and make up, but changed it to just hair per our request. Again we changed the hairstyle at the last minute. We wanted something more simple than originally agreed. So when we got their we told him we just wanted the hair down with loose curls. The hair looked fine when he was done, however it was not worth $200 which is what he charged. I paid it not knowing that my stepmom had already given him a check in advance for $200. So when my stepmom called him he said the check was a down payment or something of the sort. Again considering he was suppose to do hair and make up i can only imagine how much he would have charged if he had actually done both. He got $400 for a hairstyle he even said was much simpler. Very disappointed! read more

I've received a couple of haircuts from Ismallss, one in October and another recently in December. I heard about this place from a voucher deal. My first time here I booked an appointment for a haircut. When I first arrived I got to learn a little about Ismalss and Benjamin, his assistant, and they even made tea for me. Ismalss did a great job the first time around, and he gave me what he called a "Kat Von D" haircut based on the description of what I wanted. It didn't feel any lighter, but he got all my split ends, so I was pretty satisfied. Ismalss and Benjaminwere really helpful and talked my hair the whole way. In fact , they threw in a free haircut for next time if I was willing to come in to do a video shoot for an ad for their salon, which I gladly accepted. So this time around a couple days ago I came in for a video shoot and my free hair cut. As Ismalss was cutting my hair, he had done some twisty thing to it and cut my layers using a technique I had only seen the first time he cut my hair but never seen it prior to that. All I can see was hair flying everywhere, and I was secretly flipping out in my chair! The videographer even made a comment that I looked tortured. I touched my hair and it felt like I had a lot less hair. When all was said and done and Ismalss finished styling my hair I looked in the mirror to see that my hair was only cut about an inch and felt a lot more manageable and voluminous. I hate getting haircuts and usually only go to cut off split ends and get trims, but I must say this was the best haircut I ever got. I had to sit in fear for 30 minutes while I was getting it, but it was well worth the wait. He showed me a straightversion of my hair, a curly version, and even did an up-do for me. All within 10 minutes! Ismalss and Benjamin are always so kind and courteous to me and treat me like I'm their #1 customer. I think the face-to-face interaction helps because the very first time I called them back in September, the lady on the phone was a bit unknowledgeable. I really do highly recommend this place if you're looking for something different. Ismalss really listens and pay attention to what you want and delivers and Benjamin is great support. My hair looks and feels so much healthier now, and I'm so glad I came in again. Plus this place is clean, and I've never had an issue with parking. read more

I'm not someone that enjoys going to a barber, but I loved this place! The best thing is that you can text the owner (it's a one-man shop) and book an appointment - so no waits! He's really makes sure that you're fully satisfied with his work. Also, having a smaller shop he generally remembers his clientele and as such once you've got your favorite look down - he can reproduce it every time! read more

The most horrible customer experience one could ever find on earth. First thing, which I ignored initially is that the guy doesn't understand your language (English) and needs an interpreter for same ! So do we need to undersand him ! Secondly, I got root touch up done - when he started applying I felt his hands and gesture is rude, he didn't handle the hair properly. Also, whenever I asked for any accessory to protect my ears or anything he would frown..(i wasn't too worried about it) The product he used felt itchy to me near the neck area (not sure why but i got color done before as well where i never felt this itchiness) After he applied, he took me to wash the hair which he finished in 10 mins itself. I have long hair and its not pssible to be done so quickly. After the was done with drying the hair, i got up to check the coloring. What i find is a gray hair minimally colored and its very visible. So i asked him to cut that one out. Then I scrolled all over my hair and find that all the gray was still gray !!! I mean hardly any color worked. And when I gave him this feedback, he got furious and started an awful argument. His language was below any standards for a customer - all I did was told him that not all are colored, may be we should have left it for a little long time ! Since my hair color, wash and blow dry was done all in 1hr, considering the long hair. He was warning me that he would call up police and drag the matter there ! Has no respect for customers, all he works for is money and his cheap attitude put me really off ! I am afraid if i was not a girl he would have slapped me he went that wild ! I would recommend everyone to not go to him for a little cheap price that he might offer ! Trust me he is not a professional and doesn't even know his work properly. read more

Discovered this place through a GP deal. While the cut itself was OK, his manner is almost condescending. Benjamin was friendlier but then he wasn't the one to cut my hair. I wanted to find out the price for partial highlights for my medium length and was quoted $45. Just as I was leaving his next client asked the same question and right in front of me he said $30 for her dark long hair. Weird !! I guess it just depends on his mood. So not going back .. read more

best experience,I ever had,,Ismalss is so nice,professional and responsable,he works by appoinment only .

Watch out when you go in with a deal find vouchers. I bought one for 2 haircuts, first he charged me $35 instead of $25 for longer hair which the offer clearly stated. For the 2nd haircut, I made an appointment for my daughter. As soon as I got home, he texted me and said that I will have to pay full price for my daughter's hair. He also wanted to charge 2 of my friends $150 extra on top of the voucher. He is a liar and a is only after your money. read more
