I had my hair done here twice. The first appointment was fine, it was done by a level 1 girl and I knew it would be a longer appointment just based on experience. 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. read more

I had my hair done with Lauren. Right off the bat she had an amazing, welcoming energy that immediately made me comfort. And then! She gave me a snack while my hair processed - a whole charcuterie board. And then I got a hair mask and she gave me eye patches. And then my hair was done and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! I will recommend this place to everyone who will listen ‍‍‍ read more

I came in as a blonde and this is how they colored me 3 different times. I gave them 3 tries which was more than fair of me. Every time I said I want to be blond since Ive been blonde for over 25 years. Three strikes you're out. I paid 250 for this color and a 50 tip. Then I had to pay 200 to someone else to fix it. I literally cried over this. Heartbreaking when someone messes up your hair color. Update 3/10/23 so they owner called me today and has offered to make things right. I appreciate the owner understanding my situation. I give this place a 5 star on customer service. By the way the stylist is a wonderful person and I feel bad if I've hurt any feelings. read more

Salt Hair Lounge - I came in as a blonde and after a few months this is what they did to me. - Hair Salons Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Zero stars if I could. They get a "wow" for awful service. I had a Saturday appointment and woke up feeling ill. There is a horrible virus going around town currently, and I did not want to get the stylists sick. But I had read the salon's cancellation policy and knew it was strict. I called as soon as they opened and asked what they would prefer I do. I said I would be happy to come in wearing double masks. Or, if they preferred, I could come in another time - but I did not want to be charged a fee for something I could not control. The woman I spoke with on the phone said that she totally understood and did not want any sick clients in the salon. She said we could schedule me as soon as I was feeling better, and that I would not be charged a fee. She said she did need to charge me for the appointment, but it would cover the haircut when I was feeling better. I was better by Tuesday and called about six times throughout the day. No one ever picked up. I left a message. Same thing Wednesday. No callbacks. When I called Thursday morning and still got no answer, I went to the salon in person. They claimed their phones and wifi were down so they couldn't schedule me. A woman took my name and number down and promised to call later. That evening, they called and claimed this had been a "miscommunication" and I was a "no show" and there was nothing they could do. So no haircut, just charged for the price of one - because I asked the salon about their preference and honored it, trying to keep everyone healthy. I said that I would post negative reviews on all the social media platforms, and the woman rudely dismissed and hung up on me. Do not give your money to these people, and do not choose them as your salon unless you enjoy being treated with rudeness and disrespect. read more

I walked in for a consult on a whim after hearing great things about this salon and was immediately whisked back and met with Carley. I'd gotten a horrendous cut at a beauty school and had put it up for 4 months in a top knot and just forgot about it for a while until it grew and I could cut it again. She fixed my hair, but she also fixed my heart a little after offering a hug when she heard all the loss I'd been going through. She got me in the next day and I didn't know it at the time, but she stayed late to make that appointment... on a Friday! We closed the salon down and never once did she make me feel like I was keeping her or she needed to be elsewhere. Truly a wonderful human, a fabulous stylist and a gem of a salon. I'll be back and am grateful to have found them! read more

First of all, I don't normally complain about local businesses, but I believe that you should hear my story before you decide to give your money to this establishment. At least you will have been warned, I wish I would have been. I called for an appointment a few weeks ago and the lady who took my appointment was so unprofessional. I addressed her with my name and the service I wanted to book. I again gave her my name, spelling it out and the service I was looking for. I was asked 5 more times what was my name and what service again? The first three times, my husband was in the background laughing, the next two times, he was telling me to hang up! I finally told her that I was really getting irritated with her. (Do you not have pens and paper to write things down that you obviously didn't understand?) She finally gave me a date and time. Then she took my credit card number (no problem whatsoever with that) and said it was to hold my appointment. Ok, no problem. Unfortunately, I got very ill and knew that I wasn't able to get to my appointment, let alone, I didn't want to get anyone sick. So I called to reschedule and I was told that I would be charged for half of the $ that they would have charged me. I was beyond floored and disgusted. I was not told that when I made the appointment. All I heard was, I'm so sorry if you were never told that. Really? That's all you have to say? She said it's on the website. Oh really? I didn't go to the website. I was sick, for crying out loud!! I had no control over that. Keep my deposit if you must, but to punish me for something that I was not even aware of? I cannot believe that people do business in this manner. No professionalism, no understanding, empathy or compassion. Let alone, an "oh well ", sorry we didn't tell you that. Oops!" I am going to see what my options are to get my money back. Make your own decision. Just beware of their business practices and policies. read more

Love love love this place! So clean, upbeat and welcoming! Jen is AMAZING here. Get ready to be pampered. Treated like royalty while here. Don't hesitate to book! You'll love it!! read more

Salt Hair Lounge - Salt Hair Lounge - Hair Salons Near Me - Olympia, Washington

So after living here for a year I gathered up the courage to find a new salon to get my haircut. I learned of Salt Hair Lounge through a Facebook group page. The online booking was super easy and convenient. As I walked through the door I was immediately greeted by Carolanne, who just so happened to be the stylist my appointment was with. She was super sweet offering water, coffee and tea before walking back to finish the customer in her chair. The salon was very nicely kept and the set up was amazing. Honestly the cutest salon I've ever seen. Carolanne listened to how I was describing my desired cut, we looked at Pinterest pictures, she gave me a breakdown of what she was thinking would work best with what I wanted. Very knowledgeable. The shampoo part was so relaxing and she talked about the different products she was using. Carolanne made the me feel so comfortable and held great conversation the entire appointment. I truly enjoyed my appointment and the final look was perfect! Will definitely be coming back to see Carolanne and recommending Salt Hair Lounge to everyone I know. read more

This is a follow up review to my first one . I went back for owner to give me a hydrating treatment as she offered . There was never an apology for what happened to my hair . Owner kept telling me my hair must not be used to it or making excuses . I offered to show pictures and she said " well if you are telling the truth I should be able to see it now ". She did not want to see the pictures The solution provided was applying a little bit of treatment to the damaged area and straightening my hair . Not really solving anything or having any empathy. At the end , she essentially begged me to remove or edit my review . Yikes ! That's really all they cared about . read more

I would like to start off by thanking Jenn for bringing the hair I envisioned to life!! My roots were absolutely tragic and my color had gone brassy, but she was able to accomplish everything we discussed. From start to finish (which happened to be way after closing), Jenn was attentive, friendly, and SO efficient. Truly, her talent is unmatched and I can't recommend her enough. I also want to shout out Yvette! She was super helpful, kind, and made me feel so comfortable right away. Both of these stylists deserve high praise and if there's any promotion, raise, or bonus for employees in the salon's future, I'd be happy to nominate them with my whole heart. The salon itself is very cozy, aesthetically pleasing, and has a very warm and welcoming team. Once you're able to get your consultation with someone on their team, be sure to book RIGHT away because they fill up very quickly due to the skillset of their team members. Thank you again Jenn and Yvette, I hope y'all get every single thing you want in life!!! read more

This was my first time at this salon and the space was very nice. I was pleasantly greeted by Delaney, my stylist. She suggested a style that sounded good. I was ok with some length taken off and she put her hand below my chin to indicate the length and I agreed. The problem is the cut was not the length indicated. It is shorter. In fact as we spoke about styles I said I didn't want a cut that accentuated my chin. I thought by saying this and by Delaney actually physically indicating the length that it was fool proof. Guess not. What more do I need to do? Was she not actually listening to me or did she forget that wet hair will shorten as it dries? Either answer is not good. Very disappointed. The back cut is nice but I would challenge anyone to tell me that the front style is less important than the back. read more

Went in for color correction and I was really impressed with this salon. Staff was kind, respectful about plan and pricing. Correcting too dark hair is tricky and I have had all kinds of experiences. This was the best one-by far. Staff was educated, kind, accommodating and always available: totally professional. We agreed on a moderate plan and I always felt that my needs were the basis of the approach-not the stylist's ego or her preferences. Rhea explained that several visits would be necessary for a full correction. That said, the color is beautiful-colors are evened out (Due to Covid, I hadn't had my hair colored since the first week in November.), grays are gone and my hair remains in great condition. I also got a great haircut. This is my second stylist since returning to Olympia last summer. I have zero plans to look for another. read more

Horrible! This place is a Great Clips in disguise at best. They will do a horrible job and up charge on everything. They will even charge you for services that were not even provided. When you call and talk to the owner who is so unprofessional. They will require you to come in for no reason. This is a newer salon with no business class and it shows. The employees all have worn out and just all around bad hair. How are you going to claim to do a good job when your own hair is a train wreck? They over book chairs. During my color there were 5 people who came in for brows and hair cuts. What should have took 3 hours turned into 5 hours. Just bad business. They are all about the money here and it shows. The products they use in your hair are also cheap. read more

Salt Hair Lounge - This was after the stylist was done coloring my hair. This was supposed to be a full blonde highlight. Not sure what she was doing. - Hair Salons Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Really had a great experience at Salt. New to the area and needed to find a professional that understands men's hair and actually found an excellent stylist on my first attempt. Aimee was exceptional: she asked the right questions; listened carefully to my answers; and came up with an excellent approach. The results were exactly what I had hoped for. The rest of the staff there were terrific...friendly and professional. Can't ask for more. Highly recommend. read more

I had been coming here for awhile. Appointments regularly needing rescheduled. Many inexperienced hairstylists so be careful who you choose. Cuts are decent but any hair coloring I strongly suggest avoiding this place as they have messed up mine and my daughter's coloring numerous times. Tired of giving this place a chance. read more

My hair was destroyed here. I was originally supposed to see Delaney but she had COVID. I was called personally by the salon owner who rescheduled me with her sister. I didn't realize when she told me her sister had 18 years experience that she was just visiting and isn't actively practicing hair. I went in to be brighter and left with my hair fried and breaking off in the front. I went back to allow her to fix it and ended up leaving with hair darker than my natural brown. While they did provide a 200.00 dollar refund, it doesn't even touch the amount it's going to take to repair my hair and gradually work back to blonde. I would not recommend this salon to my worst enemy. read more

Love this place! Atmosphere, vibes, hair dressers... all of it! I'll be sad when we move. I've had my hair done by three different girls here, NOT once was I disappointed. They do great work. And Spencer you're one of the coolest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get back to loving my hair (heart). read more

I'm so happy I found this salon on yelp! I got the scalp facial and a haircut with Gracie yesterday and it was an amazing experience! I got the scalp facial due to some newfound postpartum dandruff, and to hopefully prevent or minimize postpartum hair loss. From what I can see, it seems to be helping so far! I was also so happy to not pay $50+ for a quality haircut (you can usually find me at a Supercuts). Gracie was so knowledgeable and friendly I am definitely going to come back and request her! read more

Rhea is amazing! She has been doing my hair for years or should I say fixing my hair (when I mess it up) (: Just recently got my hair done and the cut and color was perfect! I'm absolutely in love!

This salon misrepresents their products and does not provide returns when promised. Please, do not buy products from this salon.

One star due to cost. Way too expensive! I have very short hair. After hightlights, minimal cut and 1 hair product $239.00! And they couldn't even break the cost down for me! Sweet owner and staff but really. Will not reccomend or go back...FYI read more

Several months ago, we relocated to Olympia and I was now in need of a haircut. I had been going to the same stylist for many years and was a bit worried about the prospects of quickly finding someone new. Following a Yelp search of reviews, I determined Salt Hair Lounge was my best option. My appointment was made through their user-friendly online system and Carolanne was my assigned stylist; if preferred, just call for an appointment. When I arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. Carolanne introduced herself, took my raincoat, and asked if I needed a coffee, tea or water before we began. Carolanne seated me at her station and carefully listened to my description of the desired haircut, she then followed-up with several questions to clarify her understanding of the proper cut. After a wonderful shampoo by Carolanne, we returned to her station to cut my hair. Well, the cut is absolutely perfect! I am very happy to have found a terrific salon and a knowledgeable and professional stylist on my first haircut. Thank you, Carolanne, and I am looking forward to my return appointment in January! read more

Had a cut and balayage done by Cait, and it looks amazing! Everyone was very friendly and helpful, with a professional and welcoming atmosphere, and Cait listened to what I wanted, added some suggestions, and did a great job, unlike other places where I've basically had my wants bulldozed over. I can't recommend this place enough. Absolutely adore it, and will be back repeatedly!! read more

I had a great experience here the first time I went. So, I booked again with the same hair dresser using the online booking app. I received a call 3 days before my Appt telling me that the hairdresser didn't have time to fit me in. I was under the impression that when I booked an Appt the time was available. When I expressed my displeasure they seemed irritated with me. They tried rescheduling and were upset when the time was inconvenient for me. Ultimately I cancelled the Appt and found another salon to give my business to. read more

Cassie was so good and turned my gibberish of a hair description into a an amazing cut, color, and style. 10/10 recommend Cassie for balayage - the blending was great, not to mention how she completely fixed my previous haircut and created nice dimension. read more

Cassie cut my daughters hair and did a great job. She was friendly and sweet. The space is clean and inviting.

An overdue review for Salt and Cassie! I started coming here shortly after my birthday for balayage and a haircut. I had gotten balayage years ago in Seattle and it just wasn't happening for me then. I was pretty nervous about the whole experience especially because for many years I was a low maintenance hair gal (still am I guess but *nicer*) in that I'd trim my own hair and never color it. So when I was picking a salon in Olympia, I was VERY careful to choose a salon and a stylist that fit me and my goals. Salt kept coming up over and over during my search so when I started looking into it, Cassie seemed like my best fit. I wanted lived in, relaxed hair color and styling. After the first time I sat in her chair, Cassie was just amazing. I'm not very confident with what I want but she just gets it. I really appreciated her feedback on what can look good, what will work, what won't, and explaining the process. Trust Cassie, she knows what she's doing. Suffice to say, I'm booked for future sessions. As for the other stylists at the salon, I did glance at their work and only saw beautiful hair walking out the door. Everyone is friendly and clearly talented. read more

Great friendly staff. Great haircut and I felt safe during this crazy time as they are taking precautions very seriously with temp checks and other measures . I'm very satisfied and will come back read more

Honestly, the first time I came here I was really impressed ; I loved my stylist, the vibe of the salon, and my haircut. I quickly made a second appointment. However, when I arrived for the second appointment I was greeted by another stylist who would be working on my hair. I was never told either before my appointment or when I checked in that another stylist would be cutting/styling my hair. To top it off, the stylist didn't say one word to me and I pretty much received a hair cut which I'm trying desperately to grow out. Because of this switch, I won't be coming back. I just wish the salon communicated with me about a change in stylist so I could have decided If I wanted to change my appointment. read more

This place was talked up to me by friends. Checked them out on social media for weeks. They promised a few extras when you come in...aroma therapy towel, gift bag for first visit...seemed like they made it worth the $$$ with the personal touches. Figured I'd give it a shot. My hair was way more than quoted which I didn't understand. My cut took all of 5 minutes. My color looked fine but already my greys (not roots) are showing through after one week. No lavender towel, no gift bag, no real sense that my stylist was confident in what I was wanting, which wasn't anything complicated. For the amount of money I spent, I was disappointed with the whole experience. read more

Rhea is amazing at what she does! She's been doing my hair for years and the only person I trust to do it. The salon is beautiful, cozy and all of the other ladies in the salon are amazing, sweet and always greet you with a smile and hello. I'm amazed at seeing a few of these "bad reviews" on here, you can't please everyone in life and those are the people that will do anything to come on here and slam someone's dream so they can feel better about themselves, it truly is a reflection of their own character. If you are here to read reviews and make a decision of whether or not you should go to Salt Hair Lounge don't allow the few bad seeds sway your decision. I can assure you your experience will be 5 star and will always be treated with love and respect. read more

Rhea is great at listening to what you want and then somehow makes your hair look that much better! Her attention to detail and personal connection is why she's my fave. read more

I was visiting from out of town and really needed my roots touched up. Salt salon really worked with me to get me an appointment. I was so pleased to get Carolanne for my stylist.

I would highly recommend this salon and I wish I lived closer. read more

I am extra lucky to have made it to see Rhea at Salt the week before the 'quarantine'. But truthfully, I'm always extra lucky to see Rhea and the team at Salt. I love my hair and more importantly, I love the time in the chair. The conversation and relaxation are always just what I need. Rhea and Gracie work so well together and know exactly how to cut, color, and style my hair. read more

Have been in to see Rhea twice now and was super pleased both times! She's done both a cut and color for me, and despite an accidental miscommunication (I asked if they could squeeze me in for a cut and color, but I wanted a balayage, but they thought I wanted an all over color), she was able to work magic on me in a shorter time frame! Will definitely keep coming back - the salon is clean and polished, all of the girls that I've encountered there have been nice, and their hair products smell divine read more

Thank you for great hair cut! Aimee is a sweetheart and very caring as she did not have much to work with to start with. Definitely a win for me! I highly recommend Salt Hair Lounge read more
