I started at Gary Manuel in their Phase 3 salon. This is the step between their beauty school and the main salon. At the time, I couldn't afford to go to the main salon. So, I started with Audrey at Phase 3 and when she graduated I followed her to the main salon. And she is great! I have never had a steady stylist, because I have never been very excited about my hair, but she makes me excited about my hair. I have curly hair and I just get bored with it. I love how she cuts it every time and she always does something a little different each time (difficult to do with curly hair). She is also super nice and fun. I truly enjoy the experience! The atmosphere is great and everyone seems to be very nice, but Audrey keeps me going back. The price is a bit of a stretch for me ($50), but so far it has been worth it for me. On a side note, consider "Phase 3" if you can't afford the main salon. That worked really well for me and cuts are under $35! They are also really friendly and have a great atmosphere.

Pros: I really like Audrey!

Cons: Parking is just street parking, can be a challenge

Part# 2: Then, the hard part came: going from blonde of 9 years back to my natural brunette. It was a long process, but done the right way and in several steps. Tsofia made the best brunette color I EVER had (even when it was natural)! She created a multidimensional look with reach brown all over color and super dark pieces for dimension. Plus, golden, naturally blended highlights all over (just like I wanted) so that it’s not boring. I continued to feel relaxed and confident in her skill since the hair cut and her overall professional approach. The final result immediately looked great to me, I didn’t have to “get used to the look”. My hair looks and feels healthy and thick. My husband, on the other hand, is “growing into” this change, but says that he likes it. ”it’s just different, that’s all,” he says. He is not into “change”, just so you know. I feel so eternally thankful to Tsofia for being so kind and patient with me; for making this transition easy on me, and for being such a great artist. She really knows her stuff! I left feeling light and beautiful. The only thing that kind of kicked me off my balance is the price I had to pay, I actually felt a little fuzzy in the head. Tsofia put in her 100% of skill, love and concentration into my new hair for which I am so grateful and would want to return again and again to see her and only her! She is a great professional and has the longest years of experience in GM and a great wealth of knowledge in what she does; however, the cost was more than what I initially anticipated and was not mentally prepared for it. It's a great idea to see a stylist in "training" under supervision and get the same great result for less money. I realized that this salon offers a wide range of price structure to fit different budgets. My plan would be to go see someone else for my color maintenance there and visit Tsofia for a "boosted look". Aveda is a good product; I really liked the rich color and great scent of products Bellevue WA

Pros: Tsofia

Cons: Cost
