I love Stan! I have a lot of crazy, frizzy, curly wild hair and I was fed up with the hours (yes multiple) I would spend flat- ironing with little luck. And if I chose to air dry? Forget it. Total Afro. Stan colors and cuts my hair normally and he suggested i try a Brazilian Blowout. I was skeptical. But now I'm a believer. I washed it and let it airy dry and its soooo freaking cute. Mostly straight with a tiny wave! He has saved me hours! I love Stan! read more

I have been going to this salon for several years and I would never want to go anywhere else! The staff is highly trained and they are constantly learning new techniques. Everyone walks out of here looking fabulous and the products are amazing! Carly is my girl and puts up with my ever changing mind when it comes to color and she gets it right every time. I can't say enough good things about this salon! read more

Never disappointed that I go to this salon. Jennifer is fabulous! Always on time. Always willing to give advice on hairstyles. I always leave knowing my hair looks great. read more

At Stan Parente Salon, every stylist--and every client--benefits from their commitment to continued education that includes a wide-ranging knowledge of hair products. At their Maple Valley location, I found Jennifer, who saved my hair after it had been overly processed, unevenly cut, and excessively thinned at a different salon. Jennifer's talent, her absolute confidence, and counsel about the best products for my particular problems gave me hope that I wouldn't have to wait a year for my hair to grow out. She softened the brassy color, added moisture back into my exceedingly dry hair, and carefully recut it to balance the sides while saving more length than I thought possible. Not only is Jennifer an exceptional stylist, she loves her work, which has earned my loyalty. read more

Alaina did an amazing job! It was exactly what I was looking for in a baylage and cut. The salon was professional and clean. The staff were very welcoming and very attentive. Excellent service and a great place overall. read more

Shandrica has been styling my hair for at least 4-5 years and I love her and this salon. Staff/assistants are helpful and friendly. Environment is professional but fun. They are busy but still always very accommodating. Shandrica is great at listening and clearly talking to you about your hair goals. She is frank and honest about your options and has an innate ability to "get your hair." She takes a personal interest in her clients' appearance so the end result satisfies everyone. read more

Lauren is great, she does an excellent job with my hair and she is honest with her opinion on treatments and doesn't try to sell you on something you don't need. She is also able to carry a conversation naturally without awkwardness which is a plus when you're spending an hour+ with someone. read more

Brie Baker is a wonderful stylist. I have seen her on multiple occasions now for cuts and colors after struggling to find a decent stylist in the area. She gently suggested to me how to properly treat my hair in a way that didn't sound like the usual hair-stylist-lecture. I used to dye my hair at home but she has saved me from the horrors I was doing to myself. My hair feels so much healthier now that I've started seeing her. She is quirky and fun to talk to, and I've always felt like she's actually listening. She has a genuine concern for your needs and wants you to leave the salon looking and feeling your best. She has a great rapport and I would (and have) recommended her to friends and family. read more

I have been visiting Stan Parenti salons for several years ago. I ended up with Shandrica and can honestly say she is the most amazing hair stylist I have ever had the opportunity to meet. She is so talented and knows so much about hair and style. I use to always have to go home after I got my hair done to redo it my way.. I never do that with her.. I always leave feeling pretty.. thank you Shandrica for all you have done for me.. I truly would recommend her to anyone especially if you are picky.. you won't be disappointed. read more

My stylist Sandricia is FABULOUS, so professional, kind and makes sure you are truly satisfied with your hair. THANK YOU Lauren is also WONDERFUL great blowout. Highly recommend both of these great ladies. Debi read more

Absolutely THE BEST foil & haircut I've ever had! Alyssa was absolute perfection. She listened to my requests upfront and walked me through her styling process before we got started. I was immediately confident in her abilities, and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I will definitely be going back to her! What I also liked is that she raved about the styling products they use, but I didn't feel pressured to buy any on-the-spot as I normally do at other salons. If I do buy products in the future, I'll definitely go back and get them from their store now. Excellent service, clean salon & a perfect hairstyle! Thanks Alyssa!!! read more

Charina did my hair, and she was amazing. I went in not really having a plan on what I wanted except to go lighter and a cut. I showed her a picture of what my hair used to look like and the color I liked. And she went from there. Asking lots of questions and sharing what she was doing along the way. She was super sweet. I adored her! Hands down best hair stylist I have been to!! And my hair looks Amazing. I def recommend checking her out!! Everyone there was very nice! read more

I had my appointment with Kristy,she is amazing. I wasn't sure how I want the haircut and she made some recommendations which I accepted and the result was perfect. Great experience from start to finish,I highly recommend this place and Kristy.Definitely I will go back! read more

I am so glad I made the switch and scheduled an appointment with Stan Parente. He really understands hair and color. I came in with highlights that were not the most flattering and he immediately understood the look I was going for. I told him I wanted caramel highlights and a textured semi-bob and he not only gave me beautiful highlights but cut my hair in such a flattering way that makes it so easy to style. Really happy to find this salon so close to my house. read more

When I walked in it was warm and inviting but I wasted $140!!! I was supposed to get a partial balayage with Brie but I got literally 2 small pieces of highlights and the next day was not visible at all. She was kind of unsure after she was done herself and was convincing me more that it showed up .I couldn't even tell if I got my hair done and people didn't even tell anything was different. I could've bleached 2 small pieces in my hair myself for $10!!!! So disappointed . Even though this was last month I want a refund or redo!!! read more

I've seen Krysta three times now for eyelash extensions. I've had a superior service all three times. Krysta is gentle, precise, respectful, and friendly. I highly recommend seeing her for lash and other aesthetic services. I always feel like a valued and appreciated client! I hope Krysta stays at Stan Parente Salons for a LONG TIME! read more

I love this place. Alex does the best job on my hair and Colette does the best on my eyebrows. I would recommend them to anyone. I have never had someone do my eyebrows so perfect In my life. She is definitely my permanent eye brow person. read more

I just moved to the Maple Valley area from California. The biggest issue is finding Hair and Nail salons that can deliver what you expect. When you move it is a trial and error till you find the right place and person. I needed hair color, extensions moved and a trim. After reading reviews and making a few phone calls I selected the Stan Parente Salon. I had no recommendations so when I called and spoke to Gabrae (a sweetheart) and explained what I needed she put me with Lauren. I could not be happier. Lauren took the time to check my hair make some recommendations to blend the color better than it had been. She also moved my extensions back where they belonged. I usually put new extensions in and move them twice before replacing them again. Most shops I called would not move the product if they had not put them in. I am so pleased with my hair and feel so lucky to have found the right person in the first place I went. Thank You Lauren, see you soon. Judith T read more

I had my hair done here for the first time today. My stylist, Carly, was great. My bleach and tone came out perfect. She was even able to correct the yellow/orange I had left over from a previous stylist. If this review was for Carly alone, it would be 5 stars. However, reception has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. I originally sent an email to the front desk manager that went unanswered long enough that I just decided to call a couple days later. When I called, I had two questions to ask before I completed booking my appointment. 1- Who is the best stylist for blondes? 2- Can you do a Brazilian Blowout with extensions? Both reasonable questions to ask and neither took a lengthy explanation, so I'm not sure why the receptionist sounded so irritated and inconvenienced. A few days later when I came into the salon for my appointment, I was not even acknowledged while standing at the front desk. The receptionist was on the phone and completely avoided eye contact with me until after she was done. I didn't expect her to drop the call and talk to me, but a smile or a wave just to acknowledge my presence would have been nice. Reception failed to include Olaplex in my booking even though I specifically asked for it when I made my appointment. It's a good thing Carly thought to ask me about Olaplex on her own, otherwise it would have went undone. Upon check out, it wasn't much better. I'm used to the receptionist at bare minimum asking to book out my next appointment. The receptionist here only asked me to fill out a new client form and told me what my total for the day was. No 'how was your service' or 'thanks for coming in' or anything. I will keep coming back because Carly did amazing and at the end of the day the hair is what's important. read more

I have been going to this salon ever since I moved here, over two years. Although I have always been happy with my cut and color, I am horrified by my last experience and will never return. During simple chit chat, I inquired my stylists if she cleaned the brushes after each client. She looked at my like I was crazy. "No!" She exclaimed. I pull chunks of hair out, but only sanitize at the end of the day. When I requested a clean brush, she rolled her eyes and attempted to find a clean brush with other stylists staring at me. No go. Not one unused, clean brush in the place , and it was only noon. Not only is this disgusting, it is illegal, unsanitary , and not up to code, I looked it up. I love the salon, so have not called health board yet, but I know people. So the next time your hair is being brushed at this salon, think of the person who sat before you who may have had dandruff, lice, bed bugs, or MRSA. Hope your hair looks great!! read more

I've been going here for years now. I buy my hair products here, I get my regular color treatment and all my cuts here. I love it! Great service and happy atmosphere! Chelsea and Kristie are a great team! read more

I saw Stan. He spent just a few minutes cutting my hair, did not trim my bangs at all, and it cost me $80! Yes, I should have asked the price first but most salons seem to average $50-$60 so I couldn't imagine he would charge more. Wrong! The cut is just OK, worth maybe $40 - not $80. I'll give the salon another try and go back, but I'll request someone less expensive. Honestly, $80 + 20% tip is insane for a trim (because it basically was a trim, not a full cut). read more

Awesome salon, great experience. Alyssa was fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgable, and genuine. I left with the best haircut/ balayage I've had yet, as well as helpful info on products and techniques to keep up the style and give my hair volume (I'm somewhat clueless in the hair styling department). She really listened to what I wanted and was patient with my indecisiveness and endless questions. I'm beyond happy with my new hair- turned out even better than I expected. I'd recommend Alyssa to anyone and I'll definitely be back! read more

My experience here has always been stellar. I can't say enough about Kristy! I am only in town a couple times a year and I schedule my cuts around my visits because she does it best. She asks the right questions, listens, and asks more, so that she understands what you want. And she delivers! I have a hairstylist that *almost* gets it at home, but I am always happier when Ieave Kristy's chair. The first time I had her do my color I asked for it to be natural and it came out just like I'd spent a summer in the sun. It was perfect. Again, she listens, and she has the skills to make it happen. read more

I went to Alyssa with a groupon for a bayalage and cut. She even took extra time to do a root touch up when I asked. She did such an amazing job! I love everything about how my hair turned out. I'll be back! read more

I have gone to this salon several times now, Stan has done my hair numerous times and I have always loved it! Most recently I saw Shandrica, I was impressed with her consultation, not just looking to just "do my hair" but to understand what I like, don't like, and how she can make my hair color better than it already was. It was surprising to sit down and have someone want to improve what I already had, so many times I have been to other salons where they just see I am blonde, and just slap on even more blonde! I appreciated the extra thought put into my service. She is very friendly and professional. I enjoyed chatting with her and I loved my color and cut at the end of the service! read more

Zoe is a miracle worker! After a horrible dye job going from dark brown to blonde with my previous colorist (from another salon) left me with a brassy, fake look. I came into see Zoe after a recommendation from my sister. I was nervous because I didn't want to damage my hair further or leave with a different problem. Zoe met and surpassed my expectations. She gave me the more natural blonde I had hoped for. She was so meticulous and wanted to make sure it was as good as it could be, all the while being honest and upfront on how this will be a process to reverse the bad color job. She even set forth a plan for what she will do next to get me even closer to what I want. Coloring hair is a tricky process and you can't just change colors to get what you want i.e. some natural colors take on more red, gold, ash, etc. She explained this and I appreciated her honesty. She's also super sweet and I have no doubt she will continue to excel in her career as a stylist. Thank you, Zoe! read more

Went to shandrica twice, great service but not worth the money. She cut my hair but couldn't blend the end the way I normally get it cut. Then my second visit she died my hair to my natural color (light ash brown) but it ended up black! Feel like I wasted my money twice even though she acted very professional and seemed to know what she was doing. read more

I have seen 3 different stylists at the Maple Valley salon. All have done a great job and I walked out with exactly what I asked for!

I have been going to Brianne for over a year now... She was there and available when I needed an emergency walk in appointment one day for a "fix" when someone else screwed up my hair!!! She has always done an amazing job on my hair from day one!!! So happy I found someone who I can call "my hairdresser" instead of bouncing around from salon to salon trying to find someone who "gets" my hair!! read more

I went to the Federal Way Salon Parente, and it was a great experience. I saw Holli, she changed my hair style from something I had been wearing for years, to a new stylish change! I would reccomend Holli to anyone! read more
