If you are on the fence or looking for a new stylist look no further! Kelsey is an amazing wizard with hair! I showed her a few pictures of my "goal hair" since its in the awkward grow out phase from being a LOB. She immediately understood how to help me achieve the look i was going for without losing a ton of length. She fixed my part too so my hair doesn't look lopsided (which no other stylist has done before!) My hair smelled SO good after the cut and lasted overnight and through a shower with the style. For the record, I have naturally curly/wavy, fine hair with cowlicks and sometimes gets frizzy. read more

I got my hair cut by Adam at Salon Rae. Normally I don't comment on haircuts, but I must say this is as good a cut as I have had in many, many years. My hair can be complicated to lay properly, especially if the hair person isn't very skilled. My hair cut was great and after a few days I did not have any "hair sticking up" as can be the case. Definitely recommend him. The salon's vibe is casual elegance and Kerrie (owner) provides a fun, happy ambiance. read more

I highly recommend Sophia Jordan for lashes! The best of the best. I only go to her for my lashes, and she really listens! She knows exactly what suits my eye shape and lasts me soo long. Cute little salon! read more

I have been getting pedicures and an occasional manicure with Kerrie for a couple years now. Her work is impeccable. She remembers my ingrown nails and is gentle while trimming them. She builds excitement while choosing the polish color making you feel special. Best of all, she takes the time to get to know you and is one of the most kind, generous and amazing people I know. If she can clone herself, she would have multiple businesses by now! read more

I went to get my hair done by Lyda, and it was the worst dye job I have ever had. When I asked for a Balayage it looked like she played Tetris on top of my hair. I spent 120$ for a really shitty job. This one star is for them returning my money after they saw what she did with my hair. It's been three months and 700$ to fix what she did to my hair. To this day my new stylist can't get all the bleach spots out of my hair without frying all of my hair... Anyways don't go to Lyda this lady needs to go back to beauty school. It's obvious that she doesn't know what she is doing. read more

I don't usually let just anyone cut off most of my hair, but when I do, it's ALWAYS Kelsey! I was looking for a drastic change and decided to cut my hair from lower/back length to a lob. I absolutely LOVE my haircuts and have even made it a special date with my mom each time she visits from Michigan. Kelsey totally gets the vision and sets realistic expectations of what hairstyles we can actual do with me. read more

Sima is one of the sweetest and talented hair stylist that I met.. i had quite uneven hair since an accident.. and got a really pretty hairstyle.. I wanted a hairstyle that was easy to maintain and still preserve some length.. She listened to what i wanted and out of all haircuts I had, this is the one I love most.. Would be coming here as long as I live in this state. ... Would highly recommend :) read more

Do not recommend due to lack of sanitized brushes and combs. The stylist used the same comb from previous patron WITHOUT sanitizing the comb. Also used the same brush but removed the other person hair with the same comb then spayed the brush with some sanitizer before blowing out my hair. ICK! Plus they prefer cash. The 1st time I visited, the took my cc. The 2nd time they wanted Venmo or Zelle. This last time they wanted cash and not Zelle. Not returning. For a $75 plus tip haircut I expect a clean brush and comb used on my hair. read more

I tried calling to see if they could do a manicure, but when I asked, the woman on the other end just went "oh no you need to call Carrie, thank you, bye" and tried to hang up on me. I was able to ask if she could tell me how to contact Carrie, and she said to "go online" and then hang up. I went "online", and found nothing about scheduling a manicure on Yelp or anywhere. I guess they don't do them anymore? read more

It was my first time getting my hair foiled by Sima and I'm extremely pleased with her work. She listens to what look you're looking for, and takes her time with putting love into her work. I highly recommend her! read more

I just moved from Arizona and was in need of a new salon. I have been working in a Covid designated hospital since the beginning of the pandemic, so have been trimming my own hair and waiting it out. My poor hair was in dire need of a professional. Lilly was able to get me in quickly and did great on my cut and color. She also applied a hair mask that did wonders! It's not the closest salon to me, but definitely worth the drive. read more

I was looking for a drastic change and of course having a healthy hair. Finally after quite a few time of searching I found my place to have that change whenever I want. Sime is the professional stylist and I enjoyed spending my time with her. She did exactly to my hair the way that I asked her. She gave you the satisfaction that you are looking for! The overall environment looks professional and clean. Just one thing as a drawback, the light of the salon is not efficient for this type of the job! It's all about the beauty and making that beauty more remarkable!! read more

Salon Rae - Balayage by stylist sima#healthy hair. - Hair Salons Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I've been thinking about finding a salon/stylist in my neighborhood, and I believe that happened today! At about noon on New Years Eve I realized that I wanted my hair to look nice when I spend time with family this evening, and at about 1pm I decided to call Salon Rae. I was prepared for a "we're booked all day, sorry" response, so I was really happy when they offered 1:45pm! I wanted hair services and an eyebrow wax, so my appointment started with Ayesha, the esthetician. I enjoyed the relaxing music in her tiny treatment room and was (in a good way) surprised by her method. I'm used to wax, cloth, pull hairs, wax, cloth, pull hairs... so I was surprised when she applied wax (+ cloth?) all around both eyebrows and then started pulling the thin waxed strips. I guess the wax was on the cloth-like material so she didn't have to apply & rip, apply & rip. I don't know if I'm doing a good job explaining, but... it was different and interesting... and I'm happy with the result. I also really like that she asked before putting a little (lavender-scented) oil on my skin (around the eyebrows) after she finished waxing. The second part of my appointment was in Carrie's chair. I wasn't feeling very talkative so we didn't talk much, but she was nice and I'm happy with my trim and all-over color. My hair is so soft and shiny right now. Wish it would stay that way! The cost for all three services ended up being about $130 (before tip), which is pretty much what I expected to pay. Looks like I'll be visiting Carrie/Salon Rae next time I decide to get my hair cut/colored! read more

Lilly at Salon Rae did such a good job on my hair. My hair had 3 colors/tones, very dark brown on top, under neath was an orange looking reddish brown. I wanted a coppery chestnut look all over and I couldn't be happier with the results. She worked really hard to make the color blend and I think she succeeded. She is new at Salon Rae but definitely worth giving a shot! This review was not solicited. I met Lilly for the first time the day she did my hair. Thanks Lilly! read more

Kelsey is the best in the business. She takes pride in everything she does and is a true artist. After searching for several years for the perfect "Platinum" Artist I was lucky enough to find Miss Kelsey. Professional, well educated and smart, this lady knows her stuff and continues to refine her craft... you don't find anyone better! *Side note to "L. Johnson" - your review - 6+ months AFTER your actual service is misguided at best. 90% of all your reviews are nasty.... your approach and mean attitude speaks volumes about who you are (impossible to please) and negates your credibility... perhaps it's time for therapy... read more

Salon Rae - Layers.. just how i wanted! - Hair Salons Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Come enjoy the cleanliness, professionalism, and classiness of Salon Rae. I love the attention and absolute perfection Kelsey gives me on my Bleach and Tone. Previous hair salons were nervous to do a bleach and tone telling me that it would damage my fine hair and one salon flat out wouldn't do what I wanted. Kelsey has always left my hair feeling softer and healthier than it was. I love that she listens to what I want and that she uses Olaplex to keep my hair from getting damaged. She doesn't even charge extra for the treatment! Very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a cut, Kelsey has done an exceptional job with my long bob look I've had in the past. I had so many compliments:)! Kelsey is the best! I just hope she has room to fit me in now that the secret is out:)! read more

I had my hair done by Lilly and I just couldn't of been happier with the result. My hair was a hot mess and very damaged. She did a color correction and fixed my cut.

I highly recommend booking an appt with her! read more

Lilly is detailed and has a thorough knowledge and intuition with color. She did an amazing job on lifting and lightening the color in my hair while protecting it from further damage. Plus she is a lot of fun to visit. You can't go wrong booking with Lilly! read more

I had a negative experience with Jamie Tremain from this salon. The haircut she gave me was unacceptable - she gave me layers that were not blended and the haircut was disconnected from front to back (see pictures). I complained about this and went back to the salon the same day to ask her to fix it, whereupon she proceeded to cut more. I reached out to her the following day to tell her I was unhappy and ask for a refund, and she told me she would either refund my money or fix my hair. Now, she is refusing to refund me the cost of my haircut. The salon is unable to address this issue as she is an independent contractor. I chose to get a haircut by Jamie based on a facebook posting she made detailing a special she was offering. In her advertisement, she posted pictures of various haircuts/colors, which to me, implied they were her work.  After my haircut, I decided to do an image search on these photos and found they are stock photos, and not her work at all. I found this very misleading and would advise others to thoroughly research before booking. read more

I have to say if your looking for the best, its kelsey. She has been my hair dresser since high school. Did all my homecoming and prom hair. I go to only her. She really listens and makes sure that shes hearing what you say when you want something specific. I've had her color my hair and she always gets the perfect color for my skin tone. She has the best advice on how to care for hair. She is bright and funny and you just end up feeling really comfortable with her. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. read more

Salon Rae - Highlight by sima - Hair Salons Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I had an awful experience here. So bad that I've debated for 5 months whether or not to even share my experience for fear of dredging up the memories. But I am a devoted Yelper, and Yelp I must. I have been getting my hair done in training salons for years with great (and affordable) results, but I decided to splurge on highlights and a cut from a 'real' salon. I was booked with Whitney, and I asked her for a full head of highlights that would breakup the very blonde color I had currently. She gave me low-lights that came out black, and highlights that came out.... white. Not white blonde, or pale yellow..... white. End result? A stripey skunky do with big chunks of my previous blonde color throughout. And, to make matters worse, the edgy layered cut that I asked for came out as The Rachel circa 1998. The results were alarming. ALARMING. I looked 55 years old (I am 29). And seeing as the salon was now closed for the next two days and I had to work the following day, I ran straight for the hair dye aisle at Walgreen's. Now, I understand that this stuff happens. But the way with which Whitney and then the owner dealt with me was what made my experience so horrible. The owner, in a very raised voice over the phone, blamed me for the poor coloring results, saying that my hair was damaged. Yes, I have split ends, but why has every other skilled stylist had successful results for the last 16 years I've been coloring my hair? And when I refused to pay $190 for black and white hair, Whitney blamed me for not being able to pay her phone bill that month. I'm sure that this was an unusual incident, and I would have kept this awful experience to myself had it not been for the owner's and the stylist's insulting customer service and unprofessionalism. There seemed to be many other very skilled stylists at Salon Rae, and I in no way mean to demean the talent of the entire staff. read more

This was my first time at Salon Rae. From the moment I called to consult about highlights I wanted to get, my experience was fantastic. I spoke to Graydin on the phone about what I wanted and from the vague description I gave him, he was able to figure out what I wanted and what needed to be done....and he is a MIRACLE WORKER! Aaaaaaand, super sweet and friendly. I have JET BLACK asian hair and wanted blonde blonde white blonde highlights. I had asked another stylist a couple days prior about doing this and she was like, I don't know if it can be done (well, I see pictues, I think it can...) and when I asked her about how much it would be, she just had no idea. Hello. When I asked Graydin, he was like, okay we have to do this, this and this and it's going to be this much. Bam, let's do it. THE RESULTS: Better than I expected and I am IN LOVE with my highlights. I didn't think my hair could be so...WHITE! And everyone loves it, especially my husband, who is picky about hair for some odd reason. I am sooooo happy I waited it out and came here to get my highlights done. In LOOOOVE! read more

Just had my haircut by Sima! Absolutely amazing! She took her time and added some beautiful layers to my hair that had become long and felt so heavy! The layers were cut and blended just perfectly. I am not easy to please either. I've been hopping from salon to salon searching for a hairdresser in Seattle for 7 years. I am so relieved I finally found THE ONE!!! read more

Sima is AMAZING and does miracles with color. I truly cannot say enough about her talent and her sweet spirit!!

I have been in the area for 3yrs and have YET to find a decent sylist....I found her today at Salone Rae! Trisha gave me a fabulous cut and I will be back for highlights. She got me in last minute and came in early for me without knowing me. Awesome customer service! read more

Horrible Experience with Lilly!! This review is not specific to the salon, but only towards Lilly. And as much as I feel bad about doing this, I want to give others a heads up so they don't have the same experience. I found Lilly through Groupon and was interested in the cut and balayage offered. I reached out to her directly to see if there were any additional fees because that was not mentioned on the Groupon ad. I was certain with my thick, curly, long hair there would be additional fees so I asked her specifically before purchasing. She told me there were no extra fees and that there was no need to purchase the Groupon and that she would honor their price. No additional questions were asked to me prior to my appointment. I drove over a half hour to my appointment . The moment I arrived I had a bad vibe from her. She questioned why I was there early when I was only 10 mins early, for some reason she thought it was an hour before I was supposed to be there. Before I even sat down in the chair, she mentioned my hair was way thicker than she thought and told me there would be additional fees. Disappointed I even told her I could settle for a partial balayage. Now it wasn't that my hair was thick, but now it was she only did blonde balayage that she didn't have any red dye there. After many excuses to try and get me to decline my scheduled appointment that was supposed to be happening I decided to tell her I didn't want her services and I left. Very unhappy and I can honestly say I have never dealt with someone so unprofessional and rude! What a waste of time!!! read more

I was trying to have a pampering day last Saturday but planned to color my own hair as I have done for the past 5 years. But as I was getting my massage I made the decision to stop by Salon Rae and see if there was by chance any availability. Much to my surprise there was! I sat down with Kelsey and together we figured out what she was going to do. My hair turned out fantastic! I'm thrilled with it! So much so that I'm going to go back and have her add some more highlights! Everyone at this salon is so nice! Couldn't be happier! read more

You wouldn't expect such great service from this gem of a salon...but I've been going here for over 2 years & am very happy. Rather than trying to be a resort (no oohhaaah spaaa!) or a nightclub (no loud music, or stylists with attitude), Salon Rae is basically a nice, clean place to get your hair/nails done. The salon owner, Keri (Carrie? I can't remember), is there most of the time, as she is a nail technician. She does a great job - her prices are quite a bit more than what you'd pay for a mani/pedi from the nail place across the street - but it's a different kind of place. Another reason I like the salon is that they are pet-friendly and kid-friendly - provided both are well-behaved. I've brought my son in there since he was a newborn & the ladies have always offered to "watch" him while I'm getting a treatment done. Granted, as he got older, my son was always strapped in a stroller, so he couldn't walk around....and no child SHOULD be able to walk around a salon. (now I only go when he's in school). In any case, the staff has been very accomodating, which I really appreciate. The only real con to this place is the parking. Juanita Village has few parking spots, at least 3 salons, 3 restaurants, etc - all vying for a few spots nearby. But even if you have to park "far" away, it's not really far. read more
