I go to 88 Kirkland Salon because of Kristen! She always does a great job cutting my hair! I'm am extremely wary about who cuts my hair and I was sold with Kristen from the start. She cut my hair exactly as I asked and even provided some useful suggestions. Thank you!

I will start with the fact that I am very picky about my hair-cuts, I would said at this point I am a salon condenser . I have had a fair share of not exactly what I wanted cuts. After my regular stylist had gone out of business I had tried a few other salons, but none to be my favorite. I had seen a deal and looked at my shagginess of unwilling to get my haircut. I was able to be seen right away. I was very pleased that the cut included wash and style and that the seat we were working in was not right in the spot light of everyone and their dog to see. I was working with Tramle today and I am pleased with her work. She had suggestions but also followed with what I was looking for. I had very specific instructions not to cut these two parts of my hair. What I was amazed by is that she did stop along the haircut to make sure certain parts were to be cut. She showed great passion to make sure that I was happy with my cut, and that I am. We took before and after pictures. She was very nice and high energy!

Walked in to 88 without an appointment and walked out with exactly what I described even though I did not bring any pictures with me. Jamie saw me immediately for a cut, color and highlights. The haircut is free with color for first timers - unexpected deal! Jamie told me my search was over when I mentioned I had been looking for a regular salon/stylist for a while. I thought that was a bold claim since she only started at 88 a little over a week ago, but she lived up to it. Jamie is actually quite experienced, just new to 88. She listened very well, obviously enjoys working with hair and is a perfectionist. I have very thick hair and she took the time to blow dry in layers, something many stylists have not bothered to do in the past. Jamie cut the hair wet, then finished up with more cutting after drying to make sure the hair fell exactly where she wanted as hair can shrink quite a bit when dried. Street parking was easy to find and free, though parking could be challenging during peak hours for nearby restaurants.
