I love going to get my hair beautified. Everyone is so sweet and we have a lot of laughing. The ladies are so helpful in discussing what my hair needs and giving helpful solutions to issues I'm having with my home hair care. They make my experience enjoyable and I'm never disappointed with the outcome. Ive seen a…
Dani is absolutely amazing! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable with her vibrant personality and genuine warmth. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted for my color, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood my vision before getting started. The end result…
I had the best time, the girls made me feel so pampered, trinity was excellent, and my hair turned out better than I expected it could! I can’t wait to come back.
Rylee did a fantastic job! I needed a color and cut refresh, and Rylee really listened to what I wanted, and turned it into reality! I'm so pleased with the outcome. Thanks so much! Karen
Kylie and everyone at CCB are great. I’m always impressed and recommend to everyone
Book an appointment TODAY with Rylee at CCB! Amazing talent, you’re gonna love your new look.
Kylie does an excellent job. I'm always happy walking out of the salon after she finishes my hair.
Been coming to Dani for a few years now and always feel refreshed leaving! Love coming into the salon and being welcomed with open arms ♥️
Kylie is amazing! I love my color and style! She never disappoints! Thank you for helping me love my style again!
She did such a great job with my hair and she matched my energy. I’m not a talker and she was kind and just let me hang out. She had another client while I was processing and that client was chatty and she matched her energy. She was so lovely and positive.
I have been here many times and had pretty good results. Yesterday I came in and paid nearly $500 dollars for a less than 5 minute trim across the bottom of my hair as well as this poorly executed partial foil. The owner was unwilling to provide a partial refund and defended this work. Save your money, you’ll pay…
Everyone was super sweet and my hair came out great! She took her time at the bowl to make it a nice relaxing experience, I would totally recommend Taylor :)
Rylee is aaamazing! My grays were growing in spots and I didn’t like the way it looked. I’m also anxious going to the salon because it has taken up to 6 hrs to highlight because of the amount of hair and thickness and I’ve just had some bad experiences. But I put my trust in Rylee to lift my color and blend in the…
Very happy with the result!
Love the gals at CC&B!! Great service, great talent and great time!
This was expensive, but I always get magic. I walk in looking like a scruffy sheepdog and walk out looking like a lady. Totally worth it.
Amazing stylist! I went in for a root touch up and ended up with so much more! I am so, so happy with how my hair turned out! Not only did she blend my foils seamlessly but Rylee was able to remove the dreadful red that had overwhelmed my hair color. Topping everything off with a fantastic cut! Thank you Rylee!
Rylee is absolutely amazing! She colors and highlights my hair. She's not only incredibly talented with hair, but she's also the sweetest and has such a fun, upbeat personality that makes the whole appointment fly by. You can tell she truly cares about making her clients look and feel their best. I couldn't recommend her more. Rylee is a total gem!
I just felt over charged and color faded out very quickly. Had to go another place to get fixed
Kylie was amazing, listened to everything I wanted and my color turned perfect! Loved how clean the shop was too. I can't wait until next time.
Taylor is amazing ! She always gets the color just right ! She is so gentle , great listener and delivers great results . I keep on coming back to Taylor every single time ! Love her work !
Been going there for 4 years now! The staff is amazing and very friendly ! My stylist Kylie is awesome ! 100% recommend !
Highly recommend Dani! Went in for cut & color for the first time on a recommendation from my daughter and Dani did not disappoint. Professional & Knowledgeable especially with long curly hair which his hard to find. She did a short consultation with me of likes & dislikes and gave her recommendations. Love my color…
Taylor is beyond awesome. She's very gentle and is easy to work with. I feel pretty leaving the store. Appreciate that! She did some curls for me this time! This tomboy doesn't do curls, so it was fun to see what it felt/looked like for a little while.
Been coming here for years Staff is Awesome
This salon is wonderful! I feel like its one of those places you can go to relax, share a bit about yourself and learn about the stylists lives. Dani is my stylist and she is the best (all the stylists are but I see her specifically) I have been going there for years and when I moved 40 minutes away I tried another…
Dani is amazing and the shop is top notch with the services and options provided… been going for years and won’t stop!
Instead of writing the bad review for the hair salon in Covington that didn’t give me what I asked for (and couldn’t fix it), I’ll write a review about how Rylee saved the day! Not only does my hair look fabulous now, she was an absolute joy to work with. Thank you, Rylee, you have a new client!!
I love the stylist here; the girls are kind and talented! There are a number of student stylists in the salon learning and gaining experience while providing a service. The owner is receptive and pours her heart into her staff. I love this salon and my stylist Victoria!!
Totally enjoyed my afternoon with Rylee. She is a delight and very confident at her craft! I felt I was in good hands from the moment I walked in. I would recommend Rylee to my friends and family. I will come see her again.
Dani is amazing and has the most professional and fun loving attitude to match her top notch skills!
I only gave a five because the system doesn’t let me give infinity like my daughter wanted me to put. Every time we come, Dani is above and beyond amazing with my girls (5 and 7). My girls came in with their own ideas of what they wanted to do with their hair, and Dani discussed with them exactly what they wanted…
Dani is amazing! This is the second time I have seen her and she has done such wonderful things with my thin fine hair. Her color is outstanding and I have never had a haircut I like so much. She is very professional and outgoing, makes the time go by fast because she’s so easy to talk to you. Highly recommend!
Love CCB! Dani is the fantastic, listens to your needs and makes it happen. Absolutely love my new short do and fabulous red color. Dawn
Go see Taylor! Her color mixology was amazing to bring out my blondes. She was very nice and took her time to cut my hair just right.
Listened to my color wants and needs, outcome was a beautiful soft blonde for fall that shimmers and shines!
Thank you Rylee and everyone on the team of Chocolates, Cherries, and blondes!! Booked my appointment literally last night online and got an appointment the next day in the morning! I thought that was so convenient and fast! Came in the salon, greeted by a warm welcome and immediately checked me in and offered me a…
Very good experience. First time customer, Dani listened to what I wanted and delivered perfectly. Everyone was very personable.
Dani is always fantastic, and today was no different! I am 2.5 weeks post knee surgery, and she went the extra mile to help make sure I was comfortable, that there were no hazards for me and my crutches, and that I had everything I needed. Dani also was on top of my finicky hair and how it would react with the new…
My 6 year old got her hair cut down to a pixie and bleached all over with rainbow hair colors. Dani was amazing not just with the cut and color but with my daughter (and me). This was my daughters first time getting her hair done all over and first time at a salon, I was anxious but it all went so well because Dani…
Dani did an amazing job! We will be back in 8 weeks for another cut!
The whole team at Chocolate Cherries and Blonds is terrific—I love the atmosphere that they have created. My stylist Rylee touched up my roots to perfection! 😘
I look fabulous! Thanks, Dani!
When your stylist is also a magician, a therapist, a comedian and great company you must be at Chocolates Cherries and Blondes. To say I love this place, and Victoria, is a gross understatement! They are simply THE BEST!!
One of my best experiences, lovely environment and even lovelier people. Tess was my stylist and she just needed to see the pic of the style and colour I wanted and she just replicated it. I loved it so much, every penny was worth it.
I had an amazing experience with Kylie. Very personable stylist and my hair looks amazing!
Mikayla did an amazing job! I’m in love with the look of my hair and how it turned out!
Kylie works great with my anxiety and I love the way my hair has turned out. Going blonde from two years of black box dye isn’t easy but she got it to look and feel great.
Unfortunately, won’t be able to support this salon anymore with the overpriced services and the way they treat stylists unfairly. I went there twice & loved my stylist but thankfully she moved on somewhere else. The ill-treatment of stylists was sad to see and the overcharge for services was disappointing.
Rylee did such an amazing job on my hair, I couldn’t be more happy! My hair has so much depth and is healthier than ever! Thank you so much!!!
I was nervous to visit someone new, but I got a full foil blonde, tone and cut done by Tess, the owner, in the stead of my regular stylist who is out of her salon right now, and I’m really happy with my hair. It’s exactly what I wanted. Tess is very kind, intelligent and professional, and so are the girls who work…
My hair is a mess and dry after I dye my hair. 😤😭😭😭😤😭 and i need to pay for a braid of my daughter's that lasted barely an hour before it came undone and not well done. Don’t go there. $$$$
These girls know how to work as a team!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Was able to get an appointment with Kylie following her Facebook posting on the maple valley page and I'm so glad I did! I had a lot of mismatch color from diy and she was able to erase it and restore my hair to a beautiful, healthy state. I really enjoyed my appointment. All of the staff were happy to help each…
If i could rate this location more than a 5 i would . I got my hair done by Ella Rogers . We did a full foil with base brown and red/blonde highlights. Let me just tell you it turned out amazing . I was super nervous as i am very picky with my hair. Ella walked me through the process of what she was going to do and…
CCB is amazing. I’ve been going to Victora for years. She is such an incredibly talented artist! I recently had an appointment scheduled on my Birthday. Honestly, I had been feeling a bit down, and I almost canceled. I'm so happy that I didn't! The second Victoria sat me down in the chair; I decided to try something…
Hannah literally is the best! So much so that I’ve been flying across the country for the last 4 years for her to do my hair. No one else compares to her attention and ability to make my hair dreams come true. Every time she does my hair, I always walk out so happy with the result of the cut and color. I highly…
I went in to the salon to see Hannah with dirty blonde hair, I had some grow out on my side part with the ends being already blonde. I requested a heavy partial foil on my bangs for a very light blonde. The stylist said this was a do-able process and put the foils in. She didn't put me under heat and stated that the…
This is the first time I’ve gotten my hair professionally colored since I moved back to Washington and I will happily say I found my place🙏🏻, Ava did my hair and she was a blast to have do my hair and she did a amazing job. I will definitely DEFINITELY continue going to her! Before-After
I went in two days ago and Savanah did a foilage on my hair. She did such a beautiful job! I am so happy with the results and I feel so much more confident with this hair. She gave me exactly what I asked for and I highly recommend this place! Especially getting your hair done by Savanah!
