Great experience. I always enjoy going to Salon 8, and Jozie in particular is a really good stylist. I've tried a few different hair places since moving back to the Seattle area a couple years ago. They're a lot of options, but it was only after coming here that I started regularly getting compliments on my hair. It's not cheap, but it's worth it to me. The atmosphere being in Bellevue Square is also really nice. read more

I received the WORST haircut I have ever had by their so called experienced hair designer named Fabbi. I took advantage of a complimentary consultation with her prior to the haircut to discuss the best option for my cut. I told her I did not want short bangs and to cut it dry because the out come is more predictable due to my wave patterns and cowlicks. I also told her I was very concerned about my side profile and my jawline exposed. She my bangs off so short they are mid way on my forehead which exposed my hairless brows. She cut the back length which was mid length up way above the back of my neck hairline! She cut the bulk of my hair wet and dried it and OVER TEXTURIZED my hair all over and simply cut the living piss out of it! I have to use tons of root lifting product DAILY just to keep it from looking packed to the sides of my head! the shape of my oblong face is pronounced poorly with my head looking like a rectangular BLOCK! It is so awful! now I have to spend the next 6 months growing it out. Also, when I walked into the salon prior to discuss making an appointment with the receptionist,I was given a cost estimate card for procedures. I was quoted and the card said the hair cut was 75.00. So, when I went to pay for the haircut, They gave me a bill of $150. and asked if I wanted to include a tip on top of that!!!!! I told the receptionist I was told the cost would be 75.00 and she said " well that is for the regular hairstylists, not the senior stylists. I said I wish I would have been told that. I felt like a lamb to the slaughter! the cut made me look terrible and I felt price gouged as well!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET HOSED!!! read more

I love my experience here. It's been so difficult finding a good salon with reasonable prices since moving to Seattle. I've gone here twice and I will be a regular now. The front desk is welcoming and kind. The service is great with such a spa experience when getting my hair washed. The attention to my hair trim and drying my thick hair was exceptional. The vibe inside is modern, dark and chic. It's great that it's inside the mall, so you can grab a beverage or treat before or after. read more

Cool salon with an awesome name and logo - stylish vibe inside and bargain prices. All located in the Bellevue Square Mall. Check it out!

Love love love the "gray blend "color Frehiwot did for me. I am 90% gray and thinning hair and she made it look great. The roots usually need to be touched up every 3 weeks-too expensive-but w this blend, I'm on my 6th week. Definitely recommend Fre! read more

Jacob is a wonderful hair stylist. He is friendly, and truly dedicated to providing the best service for his clients. I have come to trust his expert advice on my hair coloring and haircuts. He is also very kind and professional in his manner. I consider Jacob an asset to this salon. read more

EXPENSIVE for a hair cut. Walked in to inquire about mens haircut and was quoted $135?! People in Bellevue must really have money to waste ‍ read more

I had a terrible experience at this salon in terms of the hair cutting experience and the customer service afterwards. I had a hairdresser that was talking inappropriately the whole time and taking forever drying my hair, so I said that I will just let my hair air dry and wanted to leave. He proceeded to lecture me for 20 minutes saying he didn't care if I came back and he didn't care if I wanted to make him happy, he will make himself happy. I told the receptionist and called back wanting a refund as I have no interest in going back to this salon to fix my cut. I had to call back several times, and finally another gentleman hung up on me. I was not emotional or rude on the phone just stating the facts. read more

Their service was excellent and the staff was very courteous. It is one of the best salons I have been. Men's hair cut is little bit expensive but it is worth. read more

Ive had good service there a long time ago, maybe 12 years ago... But recently I went back and my hair got cut extremely short when I asked to keep my length (long), and only chop off a few inches. It turned from a long haircut to a short one, almost a bob. I was shocked. Never in my life have I gotten a haircut this short, even accidentally slightly shorter has never turned into this. I asked politely if they could do extensions to fix and they told me no, because they said I consented to my length when they gave me an in-depth consultation (which I let them describe best for my face shape without disagreeing that that may be best for me, and I was fine with the layers they wanted to put in, etc. - but not once did I agree to a haircut this short, and in fact stated I wanted to keep it long). My hair was below my chest. Now its at my shoulders. They folded up my hair to show me length prior and I said no, still too short, I need more length. That was the end of the discussion and I couldnt see how short it was getting snipped from behind my back - I just trusted she understood my only request was to keep it long. Now I cant even put my hair in a normal high pony like I usually do, no hair clip because that falls out too, no braids... none of my usual hairstyles, only a small low pony. I feel extremely uncomfortable and self conscious, lost all of my confidence and don't feel like myself. I talked to her again and asked for help and she said I can pay another stylist 200/hr plus cost of extensions to fix it, insisting she told me the length she thought was best for me, while ignoring and not acknowledging that I told her I wanted differently. She told me the salon would not cover it and that she won't pay for it. I'm pretty shocked and upset that no one is taking accountability. She even admitted during the session when I said "wow this is too short" that she should've checked with me before cutting - but now talking with her afterwards she's saying I consented to everything which is a lie. read more

I have gone to Jozie for many years now for a haircut and has been the only person i trust my with curly hair! She's always listened and really took in note what I truly want. The atmosphere of salon 8 just also adds to the works since it's also a very calming/soothing place, for me at least. I took my younger sister for partial highlights and they came out looking amazing to say the least. I recommend all my friends and family to Jozie and always will read more

A big big shout out to Seher Akdeniz. Seher went out of her way to be so so kind and accommodating. She took care of my hair with such detail. Omg omg !. Thank you thank you for such care. Cannot recommend her enough Salon 8 should be commended for having her aboard. Thank you seher. 5 stars and more ! read more

I go to Cruz at Salon 8 for all my hair needs, cut and color, I've been going to her for the longest time too. I love her customer service and I love that she's so accommodating too! She's so sweet and she listens and serves you with a huge smile! I love the vibe here because they even have a dj during the weekends sometimes weekdays too! The front desk people are so nice and what I like about this place too is that they allow dogs to come in! read more

12.17.2022 My friend recommended me this salon and she comes for highlighting. Front desk was very nice and friendly and few people was waiting to get hair done. My stylist was fun to talk and we found out we both like Disney, so we talked about Disney the most of time. It was little bit different what I asked for, but over all it was good experience. Very convenient if you wanna shop after you get your hair done. read more

I'm only accompany here with my friend, and I still want to give a five star rating, especially after hearing my friends experiences. When I called to asked if they allow visitors, I had difficulties to communicate with them, but they are very welcoming when I arrive. There are also complimentary beverages for visitors. The hair stylist is very patient and professional. The price is also reasonable. read more

Salon 8 is conveniently located inside Bellevue Square. They have a great team of stylists, at various price points. Ask for a stylist in your budget. The vibe in the salon is chill. It's not frenetic like some places I have been. I especially love it when the live DJ is in. He makes a noticeable difference in the vibe. I have to give a shout out to Cruz. She was recommended to me nearly two years ago. Now she styles everyone in my family (mom, dad, son, daughter). That means she handles high schoolers and adults, cuts and colors. read more

Amazing service at a reasonable price. Roland did an amazing work on my hair. I loved it. Would go again! read more

Salon 8 - Loved the service. - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I got hands down the absolute BEST haircut of my life last week from Lindsey. She is genuinely an artist when it comes to hair. From the moment she began working with my hair, I could sense her expertise as a stylist, and I felt completely confident in her skills. Not only was my haircut impeccable- she slayed the style. My hair looked flawless for days after leaving the salon! I will definitely be back! read more

I'm leaving this review for myself and my mom. I've been Chelsea's client since moving here in Nov 2021. She is not only an amazing stylist, but she has transformed my hair's health over the past few years. Chelsea listens and cares about her clients. I always look forward to seeing her every month. My mom was in town in June and got her first hair cut from Chelsea. She loves it short and sassy. Chelsea razor cut her hair perfectly! It looked so amazing that my mom booked another appt this week while she was back in town visiting me. We can't recommend Chelsea enough and are confident you'll love her too! read more

Used to be called salon 7 before the pandemic. Place was busy. I took the first available. The young lady did a pretty good job. I know where my cow licks are and asked her to thin it there and she couldn't figure out why it wouldn't lay down. Finally I reminded her again and dang if it didn't turn out great. I would give her another try but you may want to request a more experienced stylist. read more

Better than Gene Juarez. Better prices better results. I've seen several people here with great results. Cruz did a keratin tx that is amazing and Fre did a partial foil/gray blend that is also amazing. Going back again! read more

Unmatched experience and quality, always such a good vibe to come in, and service is always amazing.

Look no further!! I highly recommend booking an appointment with Chelsea. She is the only one I trust to cut my hair since I met her a few years ago. She has a wonderful warm personality that makes you feel like you are chatting with an old friend the moment you meet her and decades of experience as a hairstylist. I started going to her after seeing reviews on yelp from past clients. I'm so grateful I did my research and found her! She was able to correct a terrible haircut at another salon. What at you waiting for... rest assured you won't regret it....make the appointment already!! read more

This place is absolutely amazing and the people here are so kind! The ladies are so welcoming, I recommend my girl Colleen for absolutely anything you need, she's perfect and is willing to do whatever she can to get what you want. The atmosphere is amazing, the music is fun and relaxing to listen to. read more

This was supposed to be a color and partial foil. What colorist who has a clue what they are doing starts the highlights three inches from the roots?! I have highlights so the grey won't show when it comes in and told the stylist that! They said they'd fix it but I won't have time for a week and it will be super hard on my hair which is already dry from the bleaching. Also she was supposed to match my hair color and it's way darker. Even the highlights are so overdone it looks like I'm a blond! read more

Salon 8 - Bad highlight job! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I came into Salon 8 for a blowout for a weekend filled with wedding events. I have 2C curls, so generally wavy hair with some ringlets. I was really surprised that the stylist barely rinsed my hair with the shampoo and conditioner. I didn't think too much of it but when it came time to start the blowout, she dried my hair 100% with a blow dryer and then used the blow dryer to shape it to be straight. There was a lot more frizz because of this. Overall, I wasn't happy with my blowout but I was at-least able to quickly fix things on my own with some heat styling tools after my appt. read more

The lady at the front desk does not make me feel comfortable at all. She seems to be in a constant rush. I called 3 times. She drops my call after putting me on hold. I asked for Balayage coloring and asked if there are pictures of the stylist's work. She said I can look them up on Instagram. I asked her "what's their Instagram username?". Her response was "I'm not supposed to give that out". So, I guess I'm supposed to stalk your stylist to know what they can do with my hair? read more

The pictures will tell the majority of the story alone :) Charles is an amazing stylist (one of the absolute best I have ever went to!). It's easy to see that he knows his stuff, has a dedication to his work, and enjoys and has a passion for what he does! The entire process was very easy and comfortable and he was consistently updating and explaining to me what was happening. If you expect to get a cheap service, I would have to disappoint you, but I can assure you that it's well worth it and you undoubtedly get your money's worth :) The salon itself is also very comfortable and chill (everyone who was working there when I went was very nice and enthusiastic). read more

Salon 8 is a wonderful place because the quality of care provided is amazing - every time. I only allow CRUZ to actually touch my hair so I am very biased towards her perfect skills :) but I have seen many of the stylists' works and I would basically trust any of them as a backup ! I am always wondering about employee satisfaction and at Salon 8 there is ongoing consistency. I think I have been going to Cruz for about 2 years. At one point, I went once a week for a shampoo and a blowout. I came to believe that the employees at this Salon are cared for. I hope they are. I have not asked any of them specifically so it is an assumption based on the high quality of all the interactions I have witnessed. Also: The vibe is great and the furniture is supreme! And, their products are very good too but I have delicate skin and the fragrance is triggering for my scalp, and for my sinuses, but they still smell nice and they definitely provide desirable results. Overall, GREAT JOB SALON 8 !! -Jenna G read more

I have been going to Fre for almost a year now. She is amazing and always puts so much effort and detail into my hair (which is not easy to style). She's just overall so sweet and I always enjoy seeing her. I definitely recommend her! read more

This review is not about the stylist at all. I worked at this salon when it was seven & it was such a good experience for me. I applied to 8 a couple weeks ago and I was so disgusted with how the owners wife handled the interview. She had a lot to say about monica (previous owner) which I thought was VERY unprofessional and distasteful. She also mentioned verbatim " The last mom we hired didn't last 2 weeks " which was also very weird and awkward for me. Also front desk staff are very dry and I didn't see any of them smile once. read more

Have gone to Salon 8 a bunch of times and have always loved my experience there. Got a trim and highlights done by Rebekah recently and she did a great job and delivered exactly what I'd asked! What I especially appreciate was that when I came back a week later because I wanted the highlights darker, they were so accommodating. Rebekah spent time to understand what changes I wanted. She then touched up the color and treated my hair with a mask. I was expecting to be charged for this (since I was the one who changed my mind) but they insisted that everything was complimentary. Would definitely recommend Salon 8 for their excellent service! read more

Highly recommend Chelsea for any hair color, cut, or style! I've been going to her since 2020, and not only does she consistently do an amazing job, but she has also completely transformed the health of my hair. Even after moving to a different state for college and now living in Dallas, TX, I still fly home to get my hair done by her because no one else compares (I've tried high-end salons, and they ruined my hair!). I've gone from blonde to brunette and back again, and every time, Chelsea works her magic while keeping my hair healthy and intact. Chelsea is not only incredibly talented but also such a wonderful person--she's easy to talk to and has the best personality. She's truly the best! read more

Jozie is absolutely amazing. What a wonderful experience. As a new mom I've been feeling so drab & she made me feel like a new person!! My hair is golden and beautiful now. This is the best balayage I have ever gotten. Thank you so much Salon 8 I will definitely be coming back & referring all my friends/family. read more

Got a cut this past week and love my new look. Every part of the Salon 8 experience exceeded my expectation. They are easily located on the first floor by Nordstrom, nice decor, friendly staff, great stylists and I got a boba at Happy Lemon afterwards. I can't wait for my next cut in a few months! read more

I have followed Chelsea to each salon she has been at for the last 20 years. Not only has she cut & colored my hair, she gave my 18 year old son his 1st haircut and he has refused to have anyone else cut his hair since. We live in LA now and we both fly up to see Chelsea every 8 - 10 weeks or so. She is not a one and done kind of hairdresser. She really takes the time to get to know her clients so she can guide them on not only what looks best on them but their lifestyle. There are so many adjectives to describe Chelsea.....talented, experienced, artistic, evolving, adaptable, born to make to make you love your hair but the one that describes her best is she has the most beautiful heart. If you want to find your "forever" hairdresser who will also become a friend make an appointment with Chelsea! read more

I have been seeing Chelsea for about 13 years. She is amazing! I fully trust her and pretty much always leave it up to her to decide what we are doing next. I am always getting compliments from men and women on my hair on a regular basis. She also now does my daughters hair and is respectful of both our choices. I have also referred her to others who are now her long term clients. read more

This review is of the paid apprenticeship program at Salon 8. My 20-year-old daughter took part in this program for 3 weeks before she was told she too reserved, wasn't making as much progress as they'd like, and her style wasn't a good fit for their salon. While as an educator I hate to think that three weeks is long enough for someone to show full potential, I understand this not being a good fit for either party. My bigger issue is how she was treated by Salon 8. The constant criticism of her appearance seems antithetical to the purpose of the beauty industry as that purpose is to make people FEEL beautiful. Instead, you told her hair needed changed. You colored and cut it, then came back and told her it "didn't suit her face," so you cut it again, giving her uneven, chunky layers. That wasn't good enough either, so you told her to color it again at her own expense, which she did. Then you told her she needed to diversify her wardrobe because you didn't like her style, which she immediately did, despite my reluctance for her to change to fit your standards of beauty. After that, you told her she didn't style her hair good enough when she came to work. In short, nothing she did pleased your establishment and the constant criticism took a toll on her self-esteem. While I think feedback can be a good thing, criticism without clear instructions and guidelines for improvement is not productive. That said, I'm glad she's no longer a part of this program but would caution anyone considering entering into this apprenticeship to seriously weigh all of their options. And as a reminder beauty is subjective and takes many forms. It might be hooves your establishment to remember that. read more

ROSEMARY IS A MIRACLE WORKER. Firstly, the salon itself is top tier in ambience and customer service, from the decor to the warm and welcoming staff at the front desk. You can hardly believe you've just left the mall to enter a salon! I got my cut done by Rosemary, and right out of the gate she was SO kind and welcoming, while giving that sense of security in your ability to trust her scissors completely with your hair. I showed her a picture (or 6) and expressed what I was hoping for, and she helped me see my vision turned to reality, as well as providing professional insight into what could flatter my features specifically. She then turned my hair into an absolute dream. I've always been scared to layer my hair because of how it might turn out and how some of my friends' have in the past, but after my cut I could hardly believe I'd gone my life without feeling the confidence in my hair I now do. Safe to say I am in LOVE, and wouldn't trust my hair in any other hands. If you're looking for an incredible salon and a stylist who's just as wonderful of a person as she is a stylist, Rosemary is your girl. read more
