Stephanie is awesome!!

by Little Debbie at Citysearch

I had been going to the same woman to get my hair cut just about my whole life. When I moved 25 miles away I decided to try a few new salons and I must say Stephanie at Sorella Salon is AMAZING. My super quick background - I'm not a huge fan of dramatic change and lately my hair is falling out to the point you can see my scalp. Ack! Well, Stephanie did not magically grow some more hair for me, but the cut is fantastic! I almost don't mind the thinning. The real test is when you get home and wash and style it and WOW! My hair looks just like the picture I brought in as a demo. I LOVE IT! I just about balked at the price of the cut ($75.00 before tip for a cut!) but it just might be worth it. Stephanie, thank you! (gave only 4 stars because the price was a little too high - the service was worth 5+ stars)

• Pros: Friendly, awesome hair cut
• Cons: Price - Little too high

Finally found a stylist I'll stick with

by EAngell at Citysearch

It's been years since I've had a stylist I really connected with and wanted to go back to regularly. But Stephanie, at Sorella's, is fantastic. Usually I dread going to the salon to get my hair done and find it an ordeal, but Stephanie is just such a treat to chat with, that the time flies. She listens to what you want, she's amazing, funny, and just makes it a treat to get my hair done.

As for the salon, they provide a range of services (I used the one in Issaquah Highlands). They're a bit pricey, but what you'd expect from a spa/salon. I only wish they also did pedicures, as that seems a natural thing to have if you're going for a facial or a massage, etc. Staff was friendly; I waited a few minutes for my hairdresser, but was offered refreshment during my wait.

I'll definitely be returning...usually I go months between haircuts, but it's only been 4 weeks and I'm already booking myself for a return trip, and looking forward to it. I may even try out some of their other services this time.

I definitely recommend, if you're looking for a higher-end salon with the trimmings and don't mind paying for the pampering.

• Pros: Stephanie - just love her!
• Cons: A bit pricey; not full-service (no nails or pedicure)

Avoid it at all costs or pay a price!

by Honestie at Citysearch

I went there recently for a haircut and felt very out of place. There was no friendly welcome. I seated myself on a couch and watched the other lady there get her drink! Was kinda hoping someone would ask me too! But no such luck! Then came the announcement my hairdresser was ready for me. Cut was O.K. not too bad, but not worth the price either. I guess conversations cost extra...unless maybe, just maybe you have fair skin and do not speak English with an accent! I am not one to shy away from pricey salons, went there all the time in California. Hence, I do expect friendly service with a smile. Even the chain salons I take my kids too seem to have better staff!

• Pros: None
• Cons: Unskilled, unfriendly

Best haircut I have ever had

by shaw22 at Citysearch

I am usually a salon hopper, never been to the same place twice. A couple weeks ago I was desperate to get my haircut. My husband, the cheap @##^%$ that he is made me go to this awful salon in downtown Issaquah. I walked out of the salon before the guy even finished my hair...it was so awful. I walked into Sorella crying..yes crying in hopes to have someone fix it. I thought that there was no way possible anyone could fix my hair. The front desk girl was so sweet and was able to get me in with one of their top stylists. It was amazing. This is the BEST haircut I have ever had in my life. She was so awesome and had me in tears from laughing so hard. I dont know how she did it but she made me look ten years younger and Ihave had so many compliments on my hair. The best part--I can do it myself at home. I love her and I called to make my next two appointments with her already. Stephanie is a gifted cutter and she is hilarious. This will be the first time I have ever gone to the same salon twice. I will follow her whereever she goes. Truly amazing

• Pros: Best haircut I have ever had, very friendly
• Cons: none
