First time at this salon. I was absolutely blown away with Dani's skills. She is very nice and has a great personality. I really enjoyed my conversations with her! She helped me with my preferences of low maintenance coloring. And my hair was in need of revival and something fresh. And she delivered! I will be back! Services: Hair coloring, Haircut

I wud leave zero stars for this place if I cud. How are they still in business. The worse haircut and color experience I have ever had. The hair color job was so bad I still have color left on my forehead and sidelocks. I requested only 10 inches to be cut for hair donation and they cut 17 inches instead and I know because I measured the hair strands I got back.
My scalp is still burning from the hair color residue. My stylist was Homeira. She was not very friendly and clearly did not bother to listen. I asked for a dark brown color and she colored my hair black instead. Please avoid this place at all cost and go to some place with a skilled staff.

Very friendly service and nice salon! The front desk had no problem helping me me find the place because I'm directionally challenged and got myself lost. I had such a peaceful haircut, and lovely scalp massage with Polly. I needed some quiet time and I appreciated the silence. I also adore my haircut! Exactly like the picture I showed. Thank you so much! I'll definitely be returning.

Polly is a great stylist, very attentive and detailed in her service. I have only had positive experiences from the several times she has done my hair, from basic cuts to styling and dye-ing. Her work is always great quality. Unfortunately I felt like Homeira's quality of service was lower. She barely got the shampoo in my hair and immediately rinsed, the same with conditioner.
Her hair cutting was also much less precise and very quick. When done she didn't even give me the mirror to see the back of my hair. The entire cut was only 22 minutes. The opposite of experience of having Polly. I'll just have to wait for when Polly is available next time.

I've been seeing Carissa G for awhile now and I am so lucky to have found her! I can tell she genuinely cares about giving me the look i'm going for and checks in with how i'm feeling throughout the service. I love my hair after every single visit! I look forward to my hair appointments because I know i'm going to walk out with a beautiful fresh look and I get to spend time with her! Can't recommend Carissa G enough.

My hair wasn't easy. I needed a color correct from a fashion color I did years ago. I also wanted a balayage. She did the best she could to blend the colors. It will be even better as it grows out. I had a pleasant experience. The only thing is the discomfort at having to spend extended time with my neck at the sink. Services: Balayage, Haircut, Hairstyling

Elyze is so talented, truly one of the best! She took the time to consider my hair goals and exceeded my expectations! She is kind and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. I am EXTREMELY selective about who I will trust with my hair-her work is beautiful. Also they have the most amazing selection of ORIBE products. So you know the color they are putting on your hair is high quality (so important!) Save yourself the hassle of looking any farther. Just go see Elyze;)

I 1000/10 recommend going to see Brianna at Stan Parente in Bellevue! Not only is she insanely talented (she completely transformed my hair), but she is so personable, funny and kind! As a new mom who didn't color her hair the entire pregnancy, I was in dire need of hardcore pampering and Brianna more than delivered! I typically go for a full foil, but decided to go for balayage this time as its a bit more manageable, and I can't even believe how beautiful it turned out.
As a flight attendant who has lived all over and tried many salons/stylists, I can confidently say that Brianna has made my hair look the best it ever has and I can't wait to go and see her again! Thank you so much Brianna, you are the BEST!

I've been going to this Salon for a while now. Still great customer service! I always get greeted with a warm welcome and asked if I would like tea or coffee. I went to Carissa for my balayage and cut. I really enjoy our talks. She's always explains the process and what we will be doing with my hair. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Extremely disappointed in the Bellevue salon. I have gone there for years and always have a great experience (with Polly). She was out of town, so I made the mistake of booking a balayage and a haircut with someone else. I left with the brassiest hair ever (nearly orange) and went back the next day and she put in lowlights so essentially just put my hair back to what it was.
I spent over $300 to walk out the color my hair was the day before. She kept saying I needed to wait a couple weeks well it's been a couple weeks and I'm still not happy. Careful who you book with. Plus, the salon doesn't seem to care about losing clients. There goes nearly 7 years of commitment.

Anna was great. She was very kind, and patient with the process. I have long-thick hair and sometimes it takes longer to handle. She was great at double checking as she went to make sure nothing was missed. She dyed my long thick hair and gave me a trim. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered an awesome hair experience for me. I will be coming back to see her for my roots for as long as she's working in the area! Thanks Anna! You have a customer for life!

I can't say enough good things about Anna! She was so patient with me and my session with her felt so therapeutic. I can tell how passionate she is about hair and she is so skilled. After the horrible experiences I have had at previous salons I was so hesitant about getting my hair done again. Once I sat in the chair with Anna, all my worries went away.
She was patient with my difficult hair, fixed my previous uneven haircut, listened to what I wanted, reassured me along the way and was extremely professional while simultaneously being genuine and relatable. I am so relieved to have found someone to come back to without worrying about settling on the experience. I love my hair and my haircut and would recommend Anna to anyone! She is worth it! 10000/10.

I waited a week to write this review since I wanted to see how the new do would hold up. Let's just say I'm soooo happy to have met Anna B. @Stan Parente and I absolutely loveeee my new hair! Anna was so attentive, personable (not in an nosy way) and so passionate / confident / patient to give you the look you've asked for! You can tell she takes pride to make the client % happy!
It was not an easy endeavour since I needed a colour correction, full balayage (with colour to cover up greys) anddd a haircut! She even went the extra mile at the very end to suggest applying an additional quick gloss to balance a few brassier spots on the back of my head just to make sure I have a complete 360 look!

Anna was amazing. My hair was a mess when I came in and she did a complete transformation. She did corrective color and Balayage. I explained what I wanted and she also gave some great ideas. My hair turned out amazing. Love the deep rich colors. I will definitely be going back to Anna for all my hair services. Services: Balayage, Hair coloring

I am so pleased with my hair transformation. Anna was my hairstylist and she did such a phenomenal job. My purple balayage came out so great. She was very transparent with me about the bleach so that I can make my decision. She also recommended what is best for my hair since I had to bleached my hair. 10/10 on the service from Anna.

Amazing place to get a men's cut! I have curly, mid-length hair, so finding a barber that can take care of me has been hard. I decided to go the salon route and I was super impressed. Larry and I discussed exactly what we were thinking to do and it turned out exactly as I described/showed him. For a Salon, the price is amazing too. I've been to "men's salons" who charge 60+ for a barber (not a hair stylist) who can't layer to save their life. Had a great conversation, had an amazing haircut, and was out of there in great time.
It felt like Larry could imagine exactly what I described to him, what problems I've had before, and what he would suggest to make my haircut perfect. This place is going to be my go-to for the price/quality ratio, customer service, timeliness, and overall knowledge/craftsmanship displayed by the hair stylists.

I had a full balayage by Briana today and the results surpassed my expectations. It's like she read my mind! She knew exactly what I wanted done with my hair. I often get anxious when the day gets closer to coloring, esp. having fine hair it can be difficult/tricky to work with. I switched my appt twice! Often times I'm left with a full ombre or a very heavy balayage instead of dimension. Briana was able to achieve exactly what I envisioned while taking into account my hair type. She works fast, yet is very meticulous and efficient. I will be recommending her skills to my family and friends!

Was on the hunt for someone who could both cut and color (brunette roots) with out walking away and feeling like one aspect was rushed or subpar. POLLY is amazing. Detail oriented is an understatement. Cut: Went for a lob (I know, common, but when you have had very long hair most of your life you definitely want the huge change to be done well). She spent so much time to carefully cut and texture my hair and did not go shorter than I expressed.
I walked out feeling confident and in love with it. Color: As a brunette, more time than not I walk out with red/brassy hair. Not with Polly. Root color didn't turn after 7 weeks between appointments either. She is so diligent that there is no way a gray will be missed either! Excited to have found her and will continue my visits.

Update: I hate my hair cut, my hair is stringy and over texturized. Way to thin. I like my thick hair. Sick I didn't stop this woman from thinning the crap out if it. Polly cut my hair and I have very wavy thick hair. When I sat down I asked her NOT to use thinning shears on my hair because it breaks the curl pattern. Instead she went crazy with the shears, yes I should have told her to stop when I realized it but I get tired of having to tell stylists to stop it makes for an uncomfortable experience.
I was also afraid it would look weird since she had already done it on the back of the hair which I could not see. She cut the crap out of my hair I will give her that! She seems skilled with the scissors but I don't like it. Maybe she is better with thinner hair and straight hair. My hair is very choppy and layered too high, the texturizing makes it frizzy and fluffy why simultaneously the making it stringy.
I wanted a long flowy cut that could grow out nicely and be full a vivacious. My hair feels then an extremely short in some places. I didn't think she knew what I wanted and I should have stopped and discussed further but I was 10 minutes late and felt bad. Why can no one cut beautiful long flowy hair in Seattle!? Why you don't use thinning shears on wavy/ curly hair! https://blog.scissortec.com/thinning-shears-on-curly-hair-risks/

Elyze was my stylist at Stan Parente and she was amazing! I asked to tone my hair to take out some of the brassiness and said that I was thinking about a trim but I didn't want to go much shorter because I've been trying to grow out my hair. She respected my request and only cut the dead ends. She also gave me some tips on how to keep my hair long. Salon was clean and I was helped right at the time of my reservation.
