Nancy Navarrete is a GREAT hair stylist

by bishop10 at Citysearch

I have been going to Nancy Navarrete for a little over a year now and will go to no one else. I went in and she welcomed me with a great smile and took me to clean my hair. She asked what i wanted and gave me the exact haircut I wanted but better. To top it off her prices are very reasonable. I was exceptionaly happy with my haircut and will be going back soon for a very long time.

Amazing and well priced!

by kims0525 at Citysearch

I just moved to the seattle area about a year ago and have been on the search for a good hairsylist ever sense. You would think in a large modern city it would be easy but I have had to worst luck, but then i was referred to Holly at Obadiah salon.... Thankgoodness cause I have never had such amazing highlights and cut Ever.. not even back home in LA. She got me really blonde with out destroying my hair, like most do, and she even took time to talk to me about the future of my hair.. love this girl. cant wait to see her again

• Pros: Holly

not that great

by aznqt at Citysearch

I had booked this bridal hair trial a week in advance and was told it would take an hour but when I got there the hair stylist thought I was there for a hair cut! she put me thru a hair wash then she spent nearly 45 mins curling my hair w/o a curler (just a hair dryer, brush and clips!). quite a few times she asked me to sit further down into the chair or slouch because she is too short to reach the top of my head (Im 5'4" - that's already short!). so after all that and putting my hair into a "cooker" she comes back in 2 mins to inform me that she needed to rush thru the curls because she was already 15 mins behind! my appt started @ 230pm and it was now 345pm and im in the cooker for another 3 mins. then she asks me to sit further down again! what if i had issue w/my back?? then she really did rush my hair! she gave my hair lots of body which i didn't mind! before we even started all this i specifically said i didn't want the braid to be incorporated into my hair but laying on top of hair and what does she do?? she braids it half way back into the hair!! im told the products are supposed to stay in my hair and keep the curls til the next day (my hair wasn't exactly curly when i left). It was already flat when i got home (oh i left at 4pm!!)

• Pros: explaining what each hair product does
• Cons: wasnt' scheduled for enuf time/hair stylist too short!

Excellent service from Stephen Kyle at Obadiah Salon. :)

by Socalchick77 at Citysearch

My sister has been seeing Stephen the last year. When I moved to Bellevue from San Diego I knew I could trust my sister because she is a hard one to please and so if she recommends someone she got excellent service. I was pleasantly surprised when she told me about Stephen at Obadiah. She was recommended from a friend she worked with at Eddie Bauer.

He listened to what I wanted. I really wanted to go a little darker. I have dark eyes and blonde hair and I had seriously damaged my hair from all the bleach over the years I have put in it. So he changed my blonde hair to a beautiful chocolate color. I couldn't believe how much color it put back in my face and changed my damaged hair to soft and shiny.

I am a very happy client and I am looking forward to my next visit to Stephen. I am grateful my sister told me about him. I love my new hair color!

• Pros: Hair color from Stephen, nice salon
• Cons: parking - although I have to admit I came at a busy time (Friday night) - maybe its better at a different time of day?

Thank you City Search for helping me find Stephen!

by sweettooth888 at Citysearch

Thanks to reading reviews on City Search I found my new stylist Stephen! I moved to Seattle from Santa Monica recently and didn't know if I would find a great stylist that is great with color and cutting. I read that he was great with color and it was right on. I basically asked Stephen what he thought would look best and Stephen changed my dirty blonde color to the most gorgeous chocolate color with honey highlights. I like short haircuts but never had the guts to cut my hair from shoulder length to around the chin. I took and chance and had him cut my hair like Victoria Beckhams haircut. I love it and am having a blast with my new haircut. It is really easy to style and go.

• Pros: Stephen- color expert, salon classy and nice, reasonable prices
• Cons: ? - nothing --great experience

The Place that treats you like Royalty

by RedmondPaul at Citysearch

When you have no idea what you want to do with your hair, color, style etc - GABE is the man at Obadiah who resolves all the mysteries. I have been seeing Gabe now for over 9 years and he has literally transformed my hair style. His attention to detail, personality, and ability to give you what you need is beyond reproach. If there is anyone that wants to make a change to their hairstyle regardless of where you live in the city you must see Gabe.

• Pros: On the weekends you have free parking and there are 5 levels

TALENT

by ShopAList at Citysearch

I have had the same cut and color for years, I always ask for a change but nobody will go there. I always leave looking the same or if I get a change I can never manage to create the same look...until I met Gabe Walton! He is not just a hair stylist he is a hair God!!! He is fluent in color, design ,and styling. He spent time talking to me about what I like, my comfort level and what I can and can not do in the styling department. From there he gave me a cut and color that flattered me and educated me on what he was doing as he styled so I could look just as great every day after. He is a true talent and so very charming too!

• Pros: Gabe Walton
• Cons: The drive although for him it is worth it!

Best hairstylist ever

by kyusdog at Citysearch

Cut, color, wash, dry, and style

by imtoosexy4you at Citysearch

Apryl has been doing my hair for several years. She always comes up with styles that keep me looking fresh and hip. She has amazing personality, and she always takes time to listen to me. I recommended her to my family, and friends who can't stop raving about her. I feel like a hair pimp, I recommend her so much. If you get your hair hair done by her ask her for the figure 8, it is the best head message you will ever get while she is shampooing you. Another fun thing she does is word of the day, if you get it you get a prize, I personally never have gotten it, but I think the word is pay me (lol). She does great color, great cutting, great listener. She is Apryl. Take the Apryl challenge you will not be disappointed when you leave the salon.

• Pros: Best stylist ever.

Heres to you Serenity, the best damn stylist around.

• Pros: great hair
