Asante Salon

Nikki always does an amazing job. This time besides the hair cut I got some of their products like dry shampoo, oil and a lip gloss and they are amazing

Kristen is my stylist/​colorist. I have had several appointments with her and she has done a great job every time with cut and color! She listens to what I want, but also shares her opinion without being overbearing. I always get my hair colored to cover my grays (and I’ve had much better luck with Aveda salons for covering grays than some other «fancier» salons in Bellevue). Recently I decided to try highlights again and Kristen took the time to explain and show me the different ranges in highlights and how it would look. She is professional and approachable. I hope she never moves!

I have been going to Amanda for a few years now. Since I only get a couple of haircuts a year, I am usually looking for a drastic cut and color so that I can leave the salon feeling like a new woman and each time she has stepped up to the challenge. Amanda really listens to what I want but is also very realistic in telling what would or wouldn’t look good. In our last appointment when I showed her pictures of what I was looking for, she absolutely nailed the color and cut.

Having recently moved in town from another state, I found Asante Salon after looking at reviews on Unilocal and Google.
Amanda was fantastic. Professional, friendly and knew her business. I showed her an image of the kind of cut I wanted and she cut it exactly like that! I loved that she was quick and efficient and I did not waste any time at all.
The salon itself is clean and well maintained. No weird smells, no yucky shampoo stations, no floor matted with hair!!!
Based on this experience, I think I would be going here again and would recommend it to others too.

I had my first visit at this salon today. I make it a point to support local business and this was a place I found online and had noticed driving by. My stylist and colorist was Kristen. I showed her my pictures of what I was hoping she could me with for color and style. I have naturally curly hair and this as usually induced sighs and not in a good way. Kristen was great! She knew exactly what I wanted and let me know that it would work with my hair. The color was beautiful and the cut was spot on! I will certainly be back to see Kristen again for my next cut and color. I would recommend Asante to anyone who needs a friendly, professional and local salon.

I had a great experience with my stylist Jennifer. She knew exactly what to do with my hair without me saying much. She did such a fabulous job cutting and curling my hair that it stayed looking gorgeous for several days. Of course once I washed it, I couldn’t style it even close to how she did it but I’m very happy with my experience and would highly recommend this salon and Jennifer.

My boyfriend and I both go here. Kristen is a doll. She is super friendly and does an amazing job on guys and girls. I got a cut and color, and was pleased with both. They gave $ 20 off for new clients, which is nice. Aveda never really disappoints. Their products and service are amazing.

Autumn is the best hairdresser I have ever been to. She’s truly talented and such a wonderful person as well. I love talking with her as much as I love what she does for my hair. I have been going to see her for the last six years and have referred all of my friends to see her as well– I’m not sure why it took me so long to write this review. :-) Even though I have been living in Seattle for years I still drive all the way to Redmond to see her.

Had my first men’s cut with Autumn and it was my best haircut in many years. She is fantastic and I am glad she is my new stylist.

Absolutely the best place I’ve been on the Eastside for men’s haircuts, and I’ve tried quite a few.
I always book with Autumn — she is SO talented, friendly, and professional. She makes my hair look and feel amazing every time (the shampoo and scalp massage are awesome too!). Somehow she always finds the time to get every detail just right without it feeling rushed. I would never dream of going elsewhere ever again.
Keep up the great work Asante!

My sister and I have lived in this area for several years, and Amanda is by far the best stylist either one of us has been to. She does amazing color and cuts, and always listens to our requests, which are sometimes a bit demanding. She has great advice and we always leave feeling beautiful. We don’t trust anyone else with our hair!

My last visit at this salon was horrible before it began. I was charged for time the stylist. Wanda ran errands and talked on the phone. I was insulted and was disrespected. The hair came out OK so far. The only redeeming factor.
First Wanda said «I don’t trust you» so you will have to pay a $ 150.00 deposit because she thinks I’m going to be a no show for a 3 hour appointment. Despite the fact that I have never been a no show before.
Then she insulted me again during the salon visit saying «I’m like a child» and asked me what I want to read and said «how about some trash» and retrieved some of those gossip rags. She spent most of the actual time she worked on me complaining about how hard work it is to do the treatment and how she hates doing them and only wants to do one a week.
Then she charged me for time that she ran an errand and talked on the phone. She left the salon for 25 minutes while my hair was processing. You’re supposed to check it to make sure there is no damage. Your hair could fall out if it is overprocessed. Then she spent 30 minutes on the phone and in the bathroom. At $ 125/​hour that is pretty steep to pay for someone to run errands and attend to other customers. Then she balked at me using a $ 20 coupon. After some arguing she deducted $ 25.00. Wow so generous. Needless to say there was no tip. I have never not tipped a stylist.
An unpleasant experience. The hair was OK. I won’t be going back.
Followup: I called the Salon Manager, she should know about what is going on her salon. She gave me a refund for the half hour overcharge. She did say «I get alot of comments» about Wanda. I bet. I may consider going to a different stylist, not for a long time.

I have to relocate often because of my husband’s work, and I refuse to go anywhere except an Aveda salon. Every other hair color that I have tried makes my hair break and fall out. Only Aveda products prevent this and give me the results I want. I found Asante by doing an internet search and made an appointment. I carry with me, in my wallet, the «recipe» for my hair color. IF the stylist follows it to the letter, my hair comes out perfect. However, sometimes I will run across a stylist that, without asking, will tweak the recipe a little and it is always a disaster. Jennifer listened to me. She changed nothing. She read the recipe and said, «Oh yeah! No Problem!» and just like that, my hair came out perfect.
Its very important to me that my opinions are counted, that I can have confidence that my recipe wont be changed in any way, and that I have the final say in what I want for my hair. This is not to say that I am closed to suggestions. I entertain them enthusiastically but the bottom line is that the decision is MINE. Jennifer has inspired both trust and confidence in me. She happily copied down my aveda color recipe in her file and I never have to doubt that she will follow it. I also can trust her with a cut. When I show her how much I want trimmed, that is how much she will take, and not a millimeter more.
I have very curly hair. I have ridiculously thick hair (when it isnt breaking off from a bad color job). I wear a blunt cut, which most stylists dont want to do with such curls. Jennifer does not argue about the cut, the color, or anything. I can expect expert work, cheerful conversation (she has a very quick wit and will make you laugh), and most importantly, perfect hair. Jennifer is excellent with fussy people like me. She is also a very talented stylist. I have observed her working with other clients and her work is amazing. She can make you look like you’ve been to the best salon in the world. Your hair will sparkle, lay perfectly and be beautiful just for YOU.
Appointments are fairly easy to get. Jennifer has worked me into her schedule when time is tight. The salon is clean, smells GOOD and is bright and pleasant. It is conveniently located with plenty of parking. I just dont have any criticisms, fussy as I am. That says a lot. Go there. I doubt you will be sorry.

I’ve been going to Asante for years and have NEVER been disappointed. Liza and her colleagues all have a great rapport with their clients and understand different needs for different hair types. I have curly hair and was searching for a good stylist for years before I found Asante. They take the time to make sure you get what you want and provide exceptional quality products and services for costs that are quite reasonable compared with similar services at other salons where I felt like a number and left disappointed.

Great salon, very clean. I had an appointment with Amanda, she was excellent at creating the style I was looking for and gave an amazing cut.

Jenifer is the best!
I’ve requested a really complicated hair cut for my 7 year-​old girl (shorter on one side and longer on the other) and not only she did it to perfection, she was amazing with the kids!
My hair cut was great as well. She is amazing at translating our usually crazy description of what we want to reality!
Punctual and nice when I had to cancel.
20% discount for first time clients!

Been going here for over 4 years. So happy that I found a stylist that I can trust and who always does a phenomenal job. I always leave feeling amazing and have never been the slightest bit unhappy with the results. Thank you Autumn … you’re THE BEST!!!

Just got my hair cut and colored at Asante Salon. Thank you so much fellow Unilocalers for providing good reviews of this wonderful salon. I have been going to Gene Jaurez for almost 6 years and have been spending a small fortune ($ 300) each time I got my hair done (about every 3 months). Once I moved away from the Lynnwood Gene Juarez area and needed to look for a new salon, I really wanted to find a decent salon that could provide the same if not better service and results as GJ. I have so many girlfriends that all get their hair cut/​colored for around $ 125 (many live in seattle or outside of my radius so I couldn’t just go to their fav salon). I turned to Unilocal for some guidance.
Christine did a fantastic job. Not only was she very attentive and took the time to listen to what I wanted, but gave me very specific information along the way about what she was doing and why. I got an overall color with a partial foil and a hair cut and because I was a new customer I got 20% off — which meant I got my hair done for ¹⁄₃ the cost that I usually pay! And — my hair looks and feels great. They are an Aveda salon which means they only use aveda products so I knew the quality of my color and the condition of my hair would be improved (from the Loreal crap that GJ uses).
I also found out that they do extensions there (the owner showed me options and examples) and I am so excited to try this out. I have very fine hair that doesn’t grow fast or long so the idea of being able to add extensions has always intrigued me. The cost has prohibited me from making the leap, but the Aveda solution is so affordable! Once I purchase the hair (initial investment could be 400+ depending on the length and quantity but should last for up to a year). The cost to have them put in is only $ 100 (for 2 sets). Maintenance is very easy (non — fusion technique). The best part is it only takes an hour to get them done (vs. the 6 hours a gf spent along with over $ 700 per session)!
I will keep you posted on the extension installation. Probably going to save up and do this in a few weeks.

Wonderful employees, great tea, even better haircuts! I had Amanda, and couldn’t have been happier with her as a person and stylist. I set up an appointment yesterday for this afternoon on a whim– not to mention good reviews and proximity to work– and they were wonderfully accommodating.
Definitely going to be going back there, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Or a stranger reading reviews on Unilocal.:D

Ode to Christine
* You taught me proper hair care;
* You «over-my-dead-body”-ed me, when I wanted to do perm;
* You always gave good advice, when I had «I want something, but I don’t know what» requests;
* You even didn’t flinch, when I showed up at the salon with orange disastrous highlights, which were normal blonde color after I left you that afternoon;
* You are my hair’s favorite master.
Thank you!
