    Kim is exceptional at her work! She is efficient, personable and talented at her craft. She has years of experience, really cares about the integrity of her clients' hair, and gives great advice to take care of it. She did not want to rush the process and did a consultation to check the texture of my hair. She also booked me last minute (literally one day before!!) and on a day she usually have off, so I am grateful for her time!!! I will come back to Kim for the future and I highly recommend her! Especially if you have asian hair, she knows how to work with it to give a nice golden look if you're looking to go light!

    Kim always takes care of her clients! I love coming to see her work her magic on my tresses. I always leave happy with the results, have a good time and receive awesome usuable tips to style my hair. She takes your hair type, skin tone and hair goals in mind with every visit. I regularly visit her to keep my hair looking great, especially since my hair has some greys and I also have asian hair with some blonde highlights/balayage (no to brassy hair!). My hair is quite thin and difficult to color (turns orangey/brassy) so I read her reviews and seen previous photos before committing. Hoping this will help someone else as well. The salon is clean, organized, friendly staff, has valet parking and there is a lot of natural light. Natural light is important to ensure your hair color looks great in any lighting, in my opinion. Her chair is quite comfortable and it is an enjoyable time. I first found Kim as she helped me with my out of control post pandemic hair She brought my dull hair back to life! I receive many compliments on my hair, thanks to Kim! We recently transitioned my summer hair to a softer warm/fall look and I'm impressed. She is a true artist when it comes to hair and love her genuine personality.

    Kim was very kind, thoughtful and considerate when it came to the health and maintenance of my hair and the type of color I wanted!

    Very happy whenever Kim does my hair. She is very patient, kind and always do great job. She made my dream come true . Highly recommend this place.

    Overall dark blonde achieved with white highlights over a brown base (2nd day hair photo)

    Kim has taken me blonde more than three times now! I have naturally black hair and am always pleased that the products she uses are quality and don't damage my hair with the amount of lifting we do. Olaplex, Schwarzkopf, Oribe, and Davines are just some of the high end brands she uses to color and style. In our consultations Kim always pays attention to long term plans, veering me away from red, which fades quickly and requires high maintenance. Since fun colors are reserved for level 10 highlights we kept my base color light rose brown and will play with the color by using toners over the highlights every few weeks! I'm very impressed by her creative problem solving and expertise to keep me a dark blonde all over by mixing platinum with brown pieces. Classy, fun, and interesting hair color are what we achieve every time. Beyond her artistic abilities, I always feel comfortable sitting in Kim's chair. She treats the rest of the stylists and assistants well, and even though it's a larger salon you'll never hear cattiness from Kim. She always asks about my family, and I will continue to come back to her for her professionalism and execution of my vision. Thank you, Kim!

    The new look for my hair! (Glacia).

    I had such a wonderful and amazing experience working with Kim Hook! She's super professional and knowledgeable on hair to consult me on what's the best cut or color that I should do. She's also fun to work with to make my appointment even more enjoyable and Kim works hard to make sure I get what I want and need. I have black hair and I've never really dyed or changed my hair color to a blonde or super light brown hair color but I'm glad I went to Kim for the balayage color treatment. I love the variations of the colors on my hair and Kim definitely followed the style and color that I wanted after consulting her on the look and colors. The look was better than I had imagined; I've gotten compliments from my friends on the balayage color treatment! I love it, love her work! Thanks Kim! I would definitely go to her again for my hair.

    Before picture! Check out hoe frenzy my hair was!

For the hundreds of dollars I spent a on a color, highlight and cut, I expected really good service. I had color all over my forehead and both cheeks. When I asked about the large circle on my forehead, I was handed a color off wipe so I could wipe the color off myself. Although the mark was more of a slight chemical burn. The stylist had completely forgot I booked a haircut until halfway through foils , so she did a quick dry cut after drying my hair before styling. I was there for about 5 hours and I left with a light shade of blonde in the back of my hair and a darker Caramel color in the front . When I got home I noticed I had some bleach bleeds in the back (she did not show me the back once) I showed photo and said I like ashy blonde and they toned me with 8G an 9NW - which means my hair was very gold/Carmel aka a tad orange. I don't mean to drag anyone in this review, but I want to be honest. There is nothing worse than spending a ton of money then go home and fix your hair, luckily in another life I worked as a hairdresser and am able to fix my hair , but not everyone can.

His studio is very nice and spacious for a solo studio. Charlie is also very personable and we had a great conversation- he gave me great life advice haha. I would highly recommend his services for asian hair! Excited to go back again!

    After reading reviews online, I scheduled an appointment with Mindy, the owner of this salon for…read morehair color. The experience was horrible. The salon was so dirty. She put a dirty towel that was on the dirty floor on my back and neck. I felt so grossed out. I was so shocked when this happened because I never thought it would be this dirty in a salon in Bellevue area. I thought I picked a good, reputable salon for hair color. She showed many unprofessional behaviors. The hair color result was not what I expected and I have been getting hair color at different salons for 20 years. (I changed hair stylist whenever I moved to near area in WA state. I often try to find a new hair stylist close to home or my work place.) I am not new to this process (hair coloring) at all. Normally I go to Aveda salon in other area and they were able to dye my hair from original black hair with grey hairs to lighter color in one visit without highlights. I told Mindy that I wanted the root to match the color that I had before. She said that she could do that but the color came out very dark, almost black. I could dye the hair myself dark color easily at home. The price for this was 200 dollars. -- Mindy argued that she had to dye my hair dark color to cover grey hair. My regular hair dresser at Aveda was able to turn my hair into beautiful lighter color and cover grey hair beautifully. -- I will have to go to my regular Aveda salon soon to get highlights to correct the color. -- Mindy was very talkative. She got frustrated at me because she said I moved my head a lot so I was trying to relax and not talk a lot to avoid moving my head. I didn't want to upset her. She showed that she was frustrated. However, Mindy kept asking questions unrelated to hair such as "Do you have a boyfriend?" and etc while she was washing my hair. She accidentally spit on my face a few times. She expected me to keep answering her questions even during the time she was washing my hair after she was frustrated that I moved my head, the experience was so uncomfortable for me. When I relaxed and didn't respond to answer her questions quickly, she said loudly so other customers and staff can heat that I must be frustrated with her. It was the weirdest experience I ever had at a hair salon. In 20 years that I have been getting hair color at salon, this is the first time, a hair stylist doesn't let me relax. I overheard she asked a male customer next to me about his romantic relationship and she told him to propose even when he said he wasn't ready. I don't know-- I just felt so uncomfortable with all these unprofessional behaviors. -- Her dog was very cute in the salon but that was about it. I will NEVER go back. Mindy kept blaming me for weird things. For example, after the coloring process was done, I asked her for a solution to help remove the color on my skin, it was not a big deal for me. I saw she used that solution to help remove color on my face but missed some spots. I know the color will come off when I take a shower. But Mindy started blaming me and told me that hair color on my skin was one of the marks I had on my face before hair coloring process. I don't have any abnormal mark on my face prior to this. Mindy also blamed that the towel she put on my back and neck fell off because I moved. (The towel was very dirty from the beginning. I am not even sure if it had been used with others before me.) I had to use a restroom to urinate since she left the hair color on me longer that it was supposed to be because she accepted other male customers who walked in for hair cut and perm. -- Mindy then deflected and started blaming me for scheduling an appointment with her, she said that she was kind enough to let me schedule an appointment on the same day. Then she had to take other walk-in customers and kept the color chemical compound on my hair longer than it was supposed to be?! It doesn't make sense at all. She was blaming me for supporting her small business. This is why this will be the one and only time I will do business with this salon. When I called her, it seemed like she didn't have any customer so she asked me to come in right away on Tues around noon. Then when other customers showed up, she was trying to get as many customers as possible and left the hair color on me longer than normal. Then she deflected and said she had been doing this for a long time. She knew hair. She said if I experienced hair loss, she would pay 500 dollars. SAD-- I don't want 500 dollars. I just wanted to have my hair color in a normal peaceful way. If you care about cleanliness and want a professional setting in hair salon, this might not be a place that you enjoy. I have been going to salons since I was in my early 20's because I have grey hair since I was young. Now I am almost 40. I never had issue with moving and causing a towel to fall from my neck. It was so weird that the hair stylist blamed customer for a dirty towel.
