    Another view of the notched sideburn
    Nubia B.

    Pros: 1. Private parking. 2. Convenient location just off the 5. 3. Amenable to schedule changes. Cons: 1. Late. 2. Rushed job. 3. Took a chunk out of my sideburn and let me walk out that way. When I realized I had two different medical appointments scheduled on the same day as my initial hair appointment, Myong quickly offered me a new appointment just a few days later. I really appreciated her flexibility, and I was looking forward to my appointment with her. On the newly-scheduled day, I was the first appointment of the morning. I got there at my scheduled time, and waited just a few minutes in the parking lot for her to arrive. This late arrival meant she still needed time to also prepare for her work day, which did not bother me at all. I simply enjoyed the landscaping and decor of the house with my kid while I waited: the delay was negligible. What DID bother me -- and I didn't realize this until after the fact -- was that she had allotted a short time slot for my cut, and she was determined to keep on schedule. So her late arrival and delay translated to a very rushed job for ME, where I felt like I was under the gun to give her my requests and insight into my hair. The hurried turn the appointment took left me pretty uncomfortable. This was still not at all a dealbreaker -- until I got home and saw that she had notched my sideburn with clippers (which I'd initially asked her not to use because previous stylists have had issues with clippers on my hair.) Mistakes happen. It's entirely possible she jerked her hand for a second, and there was the notch. But ... then she styled my hair and let me walk out of there looking like that, without a peep? Looking through the photos on Yelp, it seems like her bread-and-butter is coloring and other beauty (non-haircutting) services. So I can see how, from a business standpoint, a basic no-color haircut would not be a priority for her. I get that. But that's really not an excuse for a poor job. Just don't take the job at all, if that's going to be the end result. For $65 ($80 with tip), I do believe an expectation of baseline competence is reasonable. Short hairstyles are notoriously skill-intensive. With a pixie cut, there's no hiding a style done poorly. If the stylist is going to half-ass the cut, then even rescheduling is not the kindness it seems at first blush.

    Very kind and made me feel comfortable and somehow gotten my hair to go from thin to thick.

    My daughter loves her new haircut!

    Amazing! Thank you so much! Brought my daughter here to get her hair cut for her graduation gift from 5th grade. This is the first time I let anyone cut her hair this short and we were so pleased with how it came out. She will be my daughters new hair stylist, we won't go anywhere else now. Thank you so much again!!! My daughter loved the sweet cat that greets you when you arrive as well! I am very picky with my daughters hair and we left the salon very happy, loving my daughters new hairstyle.

    Our first visit! Unicorn pastel hair that was honestly amazing to pull out of the home manic panic dye I'd been doing for years.

    Myong is literally (ha, actually literally!) an artist. I have never been so absolutely thrilled with my hair in my entire life, and that's saying something as someone who changes it up every 6-8 weeks. But not only am I so absolutely in love with my hair... The experience is amazing. I used to dread going to any service knowing I would be expected to have a bunch of small talk, and be asked questions, and everything that comes with day to day interactions. Don't get me wrong, she is warm, inviting, and can definitely hold a great conversation! But I don't feel forced too, and that is something that really just makes the entire experience something I look forward to. I am so unbelievably lucky that I found you, you truly make me feel beautiful and at peace.

    If I could give them a million stars, I would! Morning of my wedding day my original hair and make up lady called me 30 mins before my appointment to tell me she had an emergency and couldn't make it. It was 7:30AM and my ceremony started at 11! I of course started freaking out and called around to see if anyone would pick up their phone since it was so early. THANKFULLY she picked up but said she was fully booked in the morning. BUT she called me back 20 mins later and said she called the morning client to push them back an hour and her daughter could do my hair. I ABOUT CRIED!!!! Thank you so much for your effort and customer service!! My hair was amazing and made it right on time for the ceremony!

    Before and after!

    This was my second time going to this salon for my hair the first time as seen in the photo she corrected a lot and took a lot of time on my hair. We had talked about price before hand and it was like $150+ (can't remember the exact price) and then she spoke on how much it would be the follow time and it was a little cheaper since she wouldn't have to be doing as much just touching up the roots and a toner. I scheduled my next appointment for two-three months out as she suggested. I got my roots touched up to maintain the blonde and a toner to get it a little more platinum and a trim. When it was all said it done it was over $200+ she charged me. That's outrageous when she did more work the first time and it was cheaper. I love this shop and her work but I just can't afford $200+ for my roots to get done. Very disappointed feeling I got taken for a sucker....

    Color correction
    Sofia M.

    I searched on Yelp for someone that can correct my color. It was orangy with several bars. I contacted Myong to help correct my hair. I wanted it brighter. It seemed like I wasn't going to get it, but after finding her here and the other reviews, I gave her a try. I'm very happy that I did. I'm more than happy. My hair came out exactly how I wanted it. Her shop is easy to find. I'd recommend her.

    Cool toned blonde exactly what I asked for....January 2022
    Desirée P.

    Myong is truly gifted in many aspects especially with her craft of doing hair!! I needed to get my hair done since I hadn't gotten my hair done in several months. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair and selective with who does my hair. Since I was in Washington I looked on Yelp and her salon popped up with all 5 star reviews. I saw her before and after pictures of how she transforms her clients hair and I was sold. Her cat keeps you company while you get your hair done,he is so cute and loving. If you are needing your hair done book a appointment with her you definitely won't be disappointed. She is such a talented and gifted woman. She transformed my hair to the exact color blonde I asked for. She has definitely mastered her craft!!

    I wanted a pinkish purple balayage and Myong killed it!
    Sara R.

    The BEST experience I have EVER had with a hairdresser! Myong is a caring soul, with boundless artistic ability. She is a colour expert and if you look around her salon you will see that displayed in every painting, that she does as well! Myong creates an experience of a peaceful and trusting sanctuary for her clients; where you can come for a transformation of not just your hair, but your spirit. Myong pays incredible attention to detail and truly LOVES what she does and that shows in the entire experience. She is also willing to put in extra work if need be, because she cares about you and the finished product! Her cat obviously makes the whole experience even sweeter and more cosy, he is a real cuddler! I could not have asked for a better experience, I will be coming to Myong exclusively from now on!

    Final product. Look at that detail!

The second time was insanely long and my hair got fried but I was planning to give a third time because I alway give places 3 tries. Well I just called (same day as my appointment) to reschedule because of personal reasons (they never asked and since it's personal I wasn't open to share unless asked) and they told me since it's within their cancellation window they will be charging me the full $185 amount for me to not get my hair done. This place wasn't even good let alone great in order to come back. Also, my hair was always well into the $300 and I do baby lights. I did toner once and $300+ for a level 1 is insane!! I will never be returning.

Second: regardless of who I've seen to have a hair cut services.... 100% amazing. This salon clearly selects stylist who are skilled and talented. Third: I noticed a "place to sit" in the "lobby" since my last review (likely on google reviews); (Thankfully, this most recent journey to this salon I'm not pregnant) there is some sort of seating. I recognize this is a small salon. Half merchandise, half salon, but there is the seat if you do in fact need to sit. Finally, I've gone to this salon for short haircuts, which can be "scary," but I've been nothing but pleased. It is now my "go-to" in Olympia." The stylist are incredible and the products they used an are amazing. I don't know if it's just me, but love the simplicity when it comes to "styling" my hair. I am super basic and don't want the over the top "styling." I want a style that is practical for me and a style that I know I can do on my own, especially when it comes to a shorter/bob -type hairstyle. Overall, very pleased and have had my hair cut here in medium to short hair styles. I even brought my daughter to get her hair trimmed here! Worth the money, the time, and the trust!
