Dolce Vita Salon in Bellevue, WA

(I am about 2 weeks late on this!) This place had great reviews and close to home so i decided to give them a call. Off the bat, even in the phone call Jamie was very accommodating and squeezed me in for the last appointment of the day. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and boom, it was one of the more impressive haircuts I have had in a while. She was also very sweet and awesome to talk to. Guys, if you have thick Asian hair this is the place to get it. I highly recommend it and i am so happy I found a place to cut my hair! Also they have a new name now, which I forgot, but same address. I'll edit my review later. It has a different name, will transfer this review. It is called hairstyle 60, same location, different name and owner

I moved to Washington from a large city out of state. I am not picky when it comes to my hair. My idea is that if it's to short then it will grow back. I do however expect to get the cut I ask for. I read the reviews on here and decided this salon was worth a try. The conversation before the cut and during the cut was great. My hair was touching my shoulders when I went in and I explained that I wanted an angled bob that took more off in the back than the front so it gave the illusion that my hair was still long. The stylist showed me that my hair would be to the middle of my neck and shorter in the back. Well when all was said and done my hair is at my jawbone, there is a very small angle almost none at all on the sides and there is a chunk missing from the left side. When the stylist was texturizing my hair she took out a chunk. I have to tuck my hair behind my ear so you can't see the chunk missing. I know it will grow back but it is not what I wanted nor what was agreed upon. I will not be going back to this salon. My hair has been cut for about 2 weeks now and there is no angle to the sides anymore. Very disappointed with how this turned out.

Booked a same day appointment with Angie on a Saturday and the front desk receptionist was very efficient and I was happy to get an appointment! Off to a great start and long story short I needed an emergency cut after my hair caught fire. After a shampoo I requested a reconstruction treatment given the damage to my hair (I was actually surprised she didn't suggest one). Got the keratin treatment, which is well worth the $20 add on. Unfortunately my stylist was not knowledgable or did not present as such about products. I can appreciate that there isn't a push on products or unnecessary treatment but this was an extreme circumstance and I want to be taken care of by an expert. The cut was good and straightforward. I opted for a simple one length and requested framing to my face. Bottom line is come here knowing what you want. It must have not been a creative day or she was not on a suggestive mood but I wanted a little more direction than received for $100 service. Satisfied, not over the top crazy about my stylist and would come back to try another. Very clean and personable staff with a homey and profession atmosphere.

I'm so happy I discovered this salon! I moved to the Seattle area eight years ago from Kansas City and probably have been to over a dozen hair salons, all with disappointing to disastrous results. I moved to Newcastle last year and did a Yelp search and realized that Dolce Vita was right down the road and had excellent reviews so I decided to give them a try. I could not be more thrilled! I've gone to Ali several times and she always gives me an amazing cut. I'm in my 50's and didn't want anything trendy, just pretty. My shoulder length hair is very straight and difficult to cut, but she spent a lot of time getting to know my hair and actually listened to what I wanted. Many people, men in particular, have complimented my hair since I've been going to Ali. I have referred others to her too, including a coworker from Germany, and they all have said it's the best cut they've gotten. And did I mention that the price is much lower than the Seattle salons, plus you don't have to pay for parking! I highly recommend this salon, and Ali, if you want a superior cut and attention to detail.

I live and work nearby this salon, and one day I had a nail break really bad and I was driving by so decided to stop in to see if there was anything they could do to help. Their nail tech saw me right away and told me she could place something almost like a clear strip to act like a "band-aid" and repaint over it but I was fine with having just one shorter nail for the time being so she cut and filed the one nail and actually repainted on the white tip for me (I had a french manicure done). As I was walking up front, ready to pay them, they told me that it was no charge and I was very surprised because she spent a decent amount of time with me and even had a scheduled appointment soon after I got there but she took the time to see me and help me out. I was very thankful for her help. I'd gotten a pedicure done here once before and it was very clean and everyone was super friendly, I saw Angelica and she's fun to talk to. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for some fun nail art!
