First off let me say that I take full responsibility for jumping the gun and just going with the first person I found. Billie Jean sent me only one picture of a hairstyle I requested. I took her word that she could replicate what she’d already done. When I arrived at the salon, I showed her several pictures of what I was looking for and color I wanted my blonde balayage/ombré. I was there for 4 hours of awkward conversation during which I sat alone with some magazines that I was extremely grateful for. Anyway fast forward to the final product that turned out to be a brassy orange color which she promised to fix the next week. It looked cute in a curled style which I now know was to mask the horrible. splotchiness hidden underneath. 2 days later I finally wash and brush my hair to find spots and splotchiness. I also noticed the toner she used on my roots lifted my base color! I messaged her saying I wanted to just dye it brown but my sister in law, who owns her own salon, advised against it. I was not okay with going back and having this lady ruin my hair even more. When I told this to her she explained she could fix my hair but she wouldn’t refund me the $ 140 because«she stands by her work.» She even had the audacity to tell me the shampoo I was using turned my hair orange. Please! STAYAWAY!!! You’ve been warned

April at the Brass Ring does my hair and I am a fussy client with difficult hair! LOL Seriously though, I have had great luck scheduling appointments, even last minute when I suddenly had to get a professional photo. April has taken the time to get to know my fine hair and worked hard to keep me looking good and reduce the maintenance time to keep it that way. I used to drive to Tacoma or Silverdale and pay outrageous amounts of money to come back unhappy with my hair so I was very pleased to finally find a hairdresser and salon that I can commit to here in my hometown. Kudos to the Brass Ring:)

Finding a good hairdresser can be difficult… but not when you go to the brass ring! This is seriously an amazing place that locals have been going to for years, and years and years. In fact, some of the hairdressers have been there for 20 years! While the décor is contemporary, and the stylists are updated on new styles and techniques they are well equipped to cater to the needs of a diverse set of clients… Every time I go there the place is full with new and old customers. There are young clients, elderly clients, men, women and children. I have been going here for some time and have my favorite hairdresser – Christeena – she RoCks! Call ahead for an appointment. If you aren’t picky on who does your hair, you can get an appointment in a timely manner. But hairdressers such as Christeena are often booked out for weeks… Oh…and don’t let the sound of the name Brass Ring confuse you… they aren’t as expensive as it sounds. In fact, you will pay only a tad more than a chain like master cuts.

I just moved here and in desperate need of a hair cut, possible color and eye brow wax. I walked in(their sign said walk ins welcome) I stood there for 5 minutes before anyone came to the front. I told the lady what I would like done and asked if they could fit me in. she looked me up and down, went to the computer and said«well it could be a wait but let me see if so and so can do it. she has a huge gap, I glanced over and she had well over a hour.(I could at least get a hair cut). she came back. looked me up and down again and said. nope she’s busy. sorry and walked away. I have never in my life been treated with such disrespect because I had jeans and a sweat shirt on. I was ready to drop serious cash and not to mention I tip extremely well. your loss not mine. I took my business else where!

Amy cuts my hair and she does a great job! If it’s not exactly how you want it, she’ll keep working on it until it’s perfect! Carly is the best nail tech out there! I used to go to her on a regular basis when I had my nails. I would recommend these two ladies to anyone!

This place has a pretty good reputation around town. So when I was shopping around for a salon to do hair/make up for my wedding party, I gave them a call. I spoke with a girl who took my information and was supposed to call me back with the answers to my questions. I never heard back from her. You would think they would want the business??? The girl on the phone was very nice though & I have known a lot of people to be happy with them.

The only service I can speak to is the waxing. My friend and I had just moved to Port Orchard from San Diego and took a chance at Brass Ring for eyebrow waxing. I have natural eyebrows that have/had a nice shape, so I told her please only clean them up. I went first and was sat in the shampoo chair. The woman who waxed my eyebrows stood on one side, did not turn my head and obviously just didn’t care what the outcome was. She sent me away with wax all over my face and did not put a finisher on me to calm my skin down. She did my friend and basically took off the end of her left brow. My friend was so upset, and when she told her that she was upset, practically in tears the woman didn’t say a word and still charged her the full payment. Let’s just say there were tears in the car and two pairs of really messed up eyebrows. I know there is a second person who waxes there, so I guess you have a 50⁄50 chance ;]

I really love this salon. I was afraid it would be expensive, but the price of a hair cut is very comparable to any other run of the mill salon in the same area. Then I was afraid it would be a little old biddy beauty shop straight out of the Steel Magnolia’s movie, but again I was surprised to find everything very up scale and modern. The woman who work here really keep up on the trends and are so friendly. They do much more here than cut hair, it is a full service salon right down to the body wraps. I’ve had one done here and I really enjoyed it, and the lady that does them, along with massage and facials is very sweet and knowledgeable, she did no make me feel uncomfortable at all. This is the only place I get my hair done now!
