The Hair Solution

This review is for using a Groupon voucher for a full foil, cut, condition, & style.
For the haircut from Viet, I would give it a 5 stars. For the hair highlight I would have given it a 3 stars.
— Called and made an appointment on a weekday, the owner said its always busy and hectic on a weekend so if you can set it up on a weekday you will be better off.
— They work quickly but are efficient. They also let me know up front that they are going to charge me 40 $ extra for my long length (the length was about to my bro strap)… So I was slightly bummed about that but was understanding of it… I’ve used other groupon vouchers before (for different salons) and they didn’t charge me for this, and I feel like if they plan to charge you extra for longer hair than put that on the fine print details… Because it’s slightly Misleading, you kind of have no other choice but to pay the extra… But I do appreciate that they tell you upfront rather than the end.
***Viet was the person who cut my hair. He is very skilled, polite, and a perfectionist. He uses very sharp scissors and made sure your hair is cut perfectly, after he shampooed my hair and straightened it, he went back a second time to snip off any uneven strands he may have missed making sure my hair cut was perfectly. I asked for an inch to be cut off, to get rid of split end, the nice thing he does is uses the mirror and will show you the length he will cut but won’t do it until you give him the green light… I definitely appreciate his communication on making sure we were on the same page. My hair is so much lighter and healthier.
— The owner, I’m unsure what her name is, was the one who did my highlights, she seemed nice enough. This is why I’m giving it a 4 stars instead of 5. I am not completely in love with my highlights… But I don’t hate them. They are a little too warm of a tone, but I did not want to put up with the hassle in letting her know that… She said she did not use straight up bleach but a combination of bleach and toner… So when they removed the foil and I saw the color I was okay with it but not thrilled and I didn’t want to get charged extra for another processing fee to get it toned down to a more ash blonde tone. With that said… It’s foiling so although she was methodical and fast about it. I although wished she was more mindful where she placed the highlights.
— She also was suggesting me to do the Brazilian blow out and said it would cost me $ 180 to do. The brochure made it seem like magic (I was tempted to say yes), beautiful hair for 3 months then it’s back to split ends and tangles and less shine… So I did some online research about this and the chemicals that they use for it is some what toxic and may cause hair to fall out. So I’m glad I didn’t do it. It’s too expensive anyway, especially if you go to do it every 3 months… And I don’t want my hair to fall out. I know that coloring your hair is bad also but I only do it once or twice a year. Maybe it would be worth it if your hair is naturally really frizzy… But if you have naturally straight hair with damaged ends coz of coloring it too much, just cut the damaged hair off and start fresh. It’s healthier for your hair that way I think and happier on your wallet.
Hope this review helped.
*UPDATE*
3 days after I wrote this review. I washed out my hair and my highlights are super orange/​yellow and brassy. Very annoyed because they charged me an extra 40 $ to avoid just that. Going to have to get a toner to fix the problem. I would not recommend getting your hair colored here. I originally rated this place a 4, because the hair stylist who cut my hair was fantastic but the main reason I went was to get highlights and they did a terrible job with that.

I always go here and get my hair done by Viet, who is super friendly and is ALWAYS determined to get my hair the way I want it. I wanted my entire head of hair to be PURPLE for the longest time and at other salons, the color failed to show or barely showed because my hair is naturally so dark (it wouldn’t get bleached enough). I recall a few times that Viet would be SO determined to get my hair to be purple, even if the color package ran out, he would suggest mixing blue/​red to make purple and I would say sure it’s fine!!! since I know that purple isn’t a common color to carry around (they started buying more for when I come back :)). I come back almost every month to retouch my hair and I kid you not. I literally get compliments on my purple hair EVERYDAY, multiple times!!! The last time I came to retouch my hair, parts of the top of my head washed a bit of the color out, making it a brownish color. Viet suggested to put the purple dye on my hair without any bleach and not on my roots (I let him do whatever he wants really, I always say «I just want my hair to be purple!» so I trust him, and he still always asks for permission first) So the top of my hair turned out PINK! My roots were kept black and the pink on the top of my hair blended to purple. Which is so far my FAVORITE shade of purple in my hair. I always thought I would never dye my hair pink even though it’s my fav color, but it totally worked out! I haven’t had my hair retouched yet and it’s been over a month. This is because the color washed out to be a pretty pinkish purple color! Although every time I wash my hair a little bit of color comes out, even if it’s obvious that I need to retouch my hair color or roots, the color always fades into something that works. And even though I dye my hair sooo often, people tell me all the time that it doesn’t even look like it, or that it still looks good. But if you’re worried about the damage, I recommend the Brazillian Blowout, which makes your hair look very silky and healthy :)

The worst salon ever. They dont have good customer service. I dont even know how it got positive reviews. Stay away. The stylist was so rude. I need it good gray coverage. I shared my concerns of what i want and asked to give me suggestions. She talked over everything I told her and in the end did her own thing. She freaking charged me me for $ 120 for what she calls it full gray coverage. so much hair had been cut off in various lengths, My hair doesn’t even look it’s been colored right. There gray is everywhere. she kept telling me «i have a lot hair». My hair is so fine and just curly. At the end i told her i wanted bangs. She complained about the bangs i requested. She cut it my hair to short. which left me with a large bill.
Now I am waiting 6 – 12 months for my hair to be back to normal. I didnt want to risk it being worse than it was and decided never to come back. make sure you get someone that listens to what you want and has experience with different kinds of hair.

Bought a Groupon for this salon and was pleasantly surprised. Not a salon I would walk in and book an appointment with. But I am really glad I went. I loved the customer service and my hair looks amazing!

So I bought a groupon for a cut, style, wash and partial highlights. I ended up having to pay an extra $ 20. They said it was for the cut (my hair was super long) and to use the straightener, but I thought it was all included in the groupon. Anyways, after Amy and Vi finished my hair, I was more than happy to pay the $ 20 and $ 5 tip to each of them. They are not only talented at what they do, but they have great customer service. I’d go here again. My hair got cut shorter than I wanted, but that’s cuz I’m always afraid to go short. That day, I just walked out and reminded myself it’ll grow back.

Came in today for the first time. Aime did my partial foil and cut.
My color is amazing and cut is perfect. The prices are such a good deal.
I’ll be back!

First of all, this is absolutely NOT Mimi’s Hair Solutions, which doesn’t cut or color hair. So, while it’s confusing, know that this salon DOES cut and color hair and also does Brazilian blowouts. (While a website is being developed, one does not yet exist at this time. This means that if you search the internet, Mimi’s will come up. Since they’re located on the same street, this can be very confusing. This salon is right before the Fred Meyer as one is going south on 240^th. The salon’s sign, while small, is on the strip mall’s board.)
I called because Groupon had this salon listed, but didn’t know whether to get a full or partial foil. When I called, Aimee suggested that I come in and she would let me know — and that she would give me the Groupon price without me having to purchase it. She happened to have had a cancellation, so I was able to get in about 45 minutes later.
Aimee suggested a full foil. While not too surprising, it made sense since the weather’s been pretty warm and if I wanted to wear my hair up, my dark hair would show and look somewhat odd. She also suggested, at a $ 30 upcharge, coloring my gray. I thought it was too much for just a bit of tint near my temples, but Aimee rightly convinced me that I should color all my roots so that the underlying color would be uniform.
So, basically, for $ 90, I got a full foil, haircut (including shampoo and conditioner, twice), root touchup, and style. She assured me that, if I returned, my cost for an additional hair cut and foil would not be too much more than the Groupon price due to my hair type. She did mention that she most definitely would need to charge more for thicker and/​or longer hair, however.
Her assistant, a young man called V (a very dapper-​looking 20 something), washed my hair and did the root coloring. He speaks very little English, but is good at what he does. However, his manipulating one’s chin etc. while at the shampoo bowl may be a bit disconcerting to those more used to someone just telling them what to move as opposed to moving it for them.
Aimee’s very friendly and patiently explains why she’s recommending what she’s recommending to you. She is also very accommodating and offered me water, tea, etc. several times when I was there.
Most important, everything was really nicely done. She was also very fast, with the foils taking less than an hour to put into my medium length hair. (The longest amount of time was spent waiting for the color on my touchup — a good 45 minutes! So be prepared for that; something totally beyond her control.)
