The receptionist at the Maple Valley location is delightful, warm, caring and most helpful. She went out of her way to assist me and make me comfortable.

Katherine's Beauty Bar

I love that I found Kat. As a girl with semi curly hair, it’s hard to find someone that understands it. I have to space it my appointments and she does my highlights in a way that it doesn’t look bad grown out. She reshaped my eyebrows and tinted them. I always love how they turn out. Highly recommended.

Wow talk about a really good head spa!!! I bought it on offer $89 for what is typically a $155 service, and will look out for more. Great little fresh herbal tea and chocolate caramel treat too while drying hair. I'll definitely be coming back for other hair services.

Ha and her crew did an incredible hair transformation, grey blending my hair with balayage and highlights. They took their time and it did not feel rushed. I received a lot of compliments on how my hair looked afterwards and my hair feels healthier and great! It is also reasonably priced. Come check them out! They will not disappoint.
