RUMORS /just hair by Shyne in Silverdale, WA

You know how hard it is to find someone who "gets" your hair? Me too! After spending decades curling and straightening, braiding and futzing with my hair, I am now extremely low maintenance. I wash, I dry, I go. I do not, however, want to look like I don't care! I was wanting to wear my hair longer, but it gets huge, so I wanted long layers - in an age-appropriate way. I literally stalked a woman at a garage sale, a little older than I am, with THE perfect hair. I finally got up the nerve to approach her, and she pulled out Shyne's card. I love that she is able to cut my hair so it looks good without a battle and have been going to her ever since. She is great! And lots of fun to boot. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Rumours for awhile now to get a haircut. Shyne does by far the best job cutting my hair. I've had many people cut my hair and pretty much every time it looks like the stylist used a bowl. Not Shyne's haircut. Best haircut I have ever had!

I've only been going to Rumors for about a year, but it took me 13 years to find a local salon to do my hair. Prior to finding them, I was flying back to my old home town in another state every 4-6 months to have my hair done. My only regret? Not having all the cash from all the flights and hotels and rental cars I needed to GET my hair done. Rumors is a terrific place. They know what they're doing and they do it well....very well. Their focus is on your satisfaction. If it's not right, they'll make it right. Exapmle: I have had a few colour changes there and one of the changes didn't take all that well. I was asked if I could stay for a re-application or if I wanted to return to have it done. I, personally thought it looked fine, but apparently it was a bit transparent??? Anyway, I said I could stay and after the second application was rinsed out, I could see a major difference in the depth and brightness. I had no idea, but my stylist did. I must admit I am very happy with Rumors and plan to continue to go there to have my hair worked over. Lastly, would I recommend them to a friend? ABSOLUTELY!!

I did a lot of research online and decided that Rumors looked really great. I ended up being incredibly disappointed. Twice. It was my stylist's first day at the salon the first time I went. I asked for a shoulder length cut, with lots of layers and side swept bangs. She ended up giving me what resemble a "Mom bob" and added the bangs as an after thought, so they ended up being uneven and unruly. I decided to book another appointment, 5 weeks later, with the same stylist, because since my cut she had received awesome reviews from other clients. I wanted to give her another chance. Boy, was that a mistake! She literally had no idea who I was, even though I could clearly see my account info on the computer screen. I went in with my hair totally unstyled, which is pretty curly/full of body, and explained that I wanted more layers added through out and straight across bangs. She then proceeded to cut out HUGE chunks of hair, without getting it wet. She didn't shampoo or condition my hair (which I paid for) or get anything wet!! As she was maiming my hair, she added in a rather snotty voice that my hair really should have been straightened to have this sort of thing done. Ya think?!?!? The bangs she cut are way too long and totally uneven since they were basically dry when she cut them. I have large sections of really short hair, covered by sections of longer hair. She basically cut the layers in the very middle of my hair, not doing anything on top. One side of my head is cut shorter than they other. Needless to say, I am miserable. Not only did she destroy my hair, I now have to live with it until my hair grows out enough to fix and even things out. (Unless, of course, I want a pixie cut, which I don't!!) I will never be back, and I seriously regret ever coming here.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Came in to get a touch up on my already highlighted hair and left looking like candy corn. The stylist had foiled ALL of my hair and left NONE of my natural color out. It was splotchy and she did not foil to the root. Took her THREE HOURS to foil my (short) hair and I left with orange, yellow and white hair. I didn't dare ask her to fix it for fear of it looking worse. I will NEVER go there again.
