Stan Parente Salon

Really enjoyed my experience here! Even though I used a Groupon, I was treated extremely well and my expectations/​questions were addressed thoroughly. I’ve had so many compliments on my hair (balayage) and will definitely return! Very professional. As a frequent Groupon user, I think it’s important to remember to tip based on the amount the service would cost at full price. It’s only fair for the hard working and deserving employees that have provided an excellent service :)

This place looks like the place having all the people just learn how to do hair within a year. They sell groupon for their people to practice on your hair.
First time i bought groupon to do this kind of service and will be the the last time. I have never rated anything on Unilocal but this time I have to actually log in and write a comment about this place.
I chose Zoe as people on here recommend. And different all the good things people talked about her. She is rude and not a very good listener. She asked me what i wanted to do with my hair and stop me in the middle and be like «we dont have time for that». What do you mean you dont have time? I came here for what i wanted to do. If you dont have time i reschedule! While doing my hair, she was rush and not careful at all. she leave a huge mark on my forehead which not i dont know when i can clean it up. She also has terrible customer’s service. She literally cut my hair like the way i cut hair for my little sister when she was 5. Like using the scissor cut straight horizontally. When i told her to make it a little curve, she showed her attitude and made me feel like i’m annoying. Didnt even say goodbye to me, just left me go to the cashier myself because she is busy gossiping with her co-​worker.
At the end of the day, i told myself that i deserved what i paid for. But wanna tell people my experience so nobody will be in the same situation.

I saw Alyssa for a bayalage and cut. She did a wonderful job, was very thorough, took her time and gave me the exact style I was wanting! Loved it.
The salon itself is darling & modern and has a fun vibe.

I bought the groupon coupon with Alex Lind, I will be going back even without it. She listened to what I wanted in my cut and color. Very very happy!

Absolutely THE BEST foil & haircut I’ve ever had! Alyssa was absolute perfection. She listened to my requests upfront and walked me through her styling process before we got started. I was immediately confident in her abilities, and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I will definitely be going back to her!
What I also liked is that she raved about the styling products they use, but I didn’t feel pressured to buy any on-​the-​spot as I normally do at other salons. If I do buy products in the future, I’ll definitely go back and get them from their store now.
Excellent service, clean salon & a perfect hairstyle! Thanks Alyssa!!!

Awesome salon, great experience. Alyssa was fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgable, and genuine. I left with the best haircut/​balayage I’ve had yet, as well as helpful info on products and techniques to keep up the style and give my hair volume (I’m somewhat clueless in the hair styling department). She really listened to what I wanted and was patient with my indecisiveness and endless questions. I’m beyond happy with my new hair– turned out even better than I expected. I’d recommend Alyssa to anyone and I’ll definitely be back!

One word… ZOE! I hope I spelled her name right! She’s amazing and knows how to color and cut! My hair looks amazing and she’s sweet and amazing and I will definitely be back to see her!!! BOOK WITH HER NOW!!!
Since moving to WA j have had horrible experiences and unfortunately only came out of salons hating my hair. I was skeptical at first because I bought a groupon and wasn’t expecting much, but holy cow I should have been slapped for thinking that! This place has changed my perception and the people are so friendly and awesome.
Stan was actually in there doing hair and he was so sweet and genuine to everyone! Love this place!

I purchased a groupon for «Full Foil or Balayage Highlights, Haircut, and Styling». The deal cost me $ 92. Having heard good things about this salon, I was looking forward to loving my hair afterwards. This was definitely not the case.
The stylist would not do the balayage highlights I wanted. She stated that she could only do blonde shades due to time constraints. I’ve had balayage before, so what she’s saying is she doesn’t have time to properly tone my hair.
She also gave me a quick haircut, which when I straightened later, I can see is not even. The left side is longer than the right.
My hair doesn’t look horrendous but honestly, if I had known this salon treats groupon customers like this, I would have spent my $ 92 elsewhere. Specifically, a place that pays attention to me, gives me what I requested and paid for, and an even haircut.

My stylist Sandricia is FABULOUS, so professional, kind and makes sure you are truly satisfied with your hair. THANK YOU
Lauren is also WONDERFUL great blowout. Highly recommend both of these great ladies.

I have been going to this salon for several years and I would never want to go anywhere else! The staff is highly trained and they are constantly learning new techniques. Everyone walks out of here looking fabulous and the products are amazing! Carly is my girl and puts up with my ever changing mind when it comes to color and she gets it right every time. I can’t say enough good things about this salon!

So I bought a Groupon. I know, I know, I was a little worried. But it was a great deal. My hair turned out PERFECT. I would recommend Zoe for the groupon deal :) she was super sweet and even when my stubborn hair didn’t take the color, she stayed later to redo it at no extra charge. I got a Caramel color balyage and my hair cut to a short length. I couldn’t be more happy! This is my first truly amazing experience. Again, I recommend Zoe!

I love Stan! I have a lot of crazy, frizzy, curly wild hair and I was fed up with the hours (yes multiple) I would spend flat– ironing with little luck. And if I chose to air dry? Forget it. Total Afro. Stan colors and cuts my hair normally and he suggested i try a Brazilian Blowout. I was skeptical. But now I’m a believer. I washed it and let it airy dry and its soooo freaking cute. Mostly straight with a tiny wave! He has saved me hours! I love Stan!

Seriously, I had the most considerate, attentive stylist experience with Zoe that I have ever had in a salon. She spent time really hearing me out and gave me some terrific input about my color and options. In the end I got a phenomenal new color and cut that has turned me from fairgrounds to fabulous!
I must caution… Her neighboring stylist talked non stop and it did get a bit annoying to have to hear her voice after a while, but Zoe is professional and patient and honestly, I would suffer the chatterbox next to her again because Zoe’s work is terrific. Thanks Zoe! I will be back…

I’ve always had an amazing experience with Stan Parente Salon! Ive been to many places to get my hair done and none of them compare with them! They’re always so kind when you walk into the door. They immediately ask if you’d like anything to drink (water, lemon water, tea, etc.). They’re always on time for my appointments, unless I am the one thats late… I’ve had stylist Carly, which by the way she is amazing, she’s so kind and I absolutely love the cuts and color she’s done to my hair. I have also had Brianne cut and color my hair and she’s also AMAZING! I’ve had nothing but great experiences with both of the ladies. I will always be a life long customer to them! I do have to say it is spendy, but when it comes to my hair I can’t have anything but the best of the best and I must say THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

I have been going to the Stan Parente salon for a couple years and love everyone I have seen there! Carly at the Maple Valley salon is amazing and did my extensions, that I had been wanting for years for me! Turned out amazing! My hair is in much better condition since going there and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I saw Jennifer for a balayage/​ombré coloring in February of 2014. She did an amazing job and my hair still looks amazing over a year later! Sometimes balayage or ombré can be tricky but the gradient is absolutely flawless. The salon is beautiful and all the stylists are personable and professional. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a quality color! I’m totally going there for my next coloring!

Chopped off my long scraggly hair… Rae Ann cuts my hair and she’s so great– I only wish I could do my hair as nicely as she does it…
This is not super cuts but there are some things that I don’t mind paying for…

I started coming to Stan Parente Salon for a couple of reasons. One because I went to high-​school with one of the girls, and 2 I wanted to see what all the hype was all about.
When I first told someone I was going to this salon I was told that it’s SUPER expensive. I’m not one to believe until facts proven.
The first time I entered the salon, I was greeted with a smile, and a very homey salon feel! The wait wasn’t longer than 10 minutes and I was offered water with lemon or some other fancy stuff ;). When I was directed back to Shandrica’s station she made it so comforting! I’ve always been the person that just says do what you think will look good, and I’ve had my share times of leaving a place disappointed.
Not one time have I EVER left this place unhappy, I leave feeling beautiful and more educated every time. We stick to my budget, and I never leave not knowing price point. I would disagree that this salon is «expensive» you are paying professionals to work on your hair, and they have a great «fix it» policy!
I don’t know about you, but id rather pay a little extra to know if I don’t like it, it will get taken care of on their time.
Highly recommend this Maple Valley Local! & Shandrica and her personal is AWESOME!

Been coming here for years — I will never get my hair cut or dyed anywhere else. I adore Stan, he does an amazing job! Also ask for Shandrica, I’ve heard from friends she does a great job too :) Usually I go in for just a trim and some more layers, bangs, maybe thin my hair out a bit — it’s very thick. For the first time a few months ago I did a baylayage on my very, very long super dark brown hair — and it turned out spectacular! I’ve visited all three locations, Federal Way, Maple Valley, and Bellevue, and have gotten wonderful service at each location. Every location is very large inside, with a nice waiting area that provides snacks and beverages. There are all kinds of styling products for sale that they can and will go over with you. Federal Way location is easy to miss, in a strip mall, but it is right off of I-​5. Bellevue has a strange parking lot, very easy to miss as it is in the tucked kind of in the back, limited parking. Maple Valley is easy to access, right off of Hwy 169, large open parking lot.
Prices are reasonable, you’re paying for what you get — and what you get is completely worth it.

Stan started in Federal Way and has since expanded, opening a salon in MV and one in Bellevue. I have been coming here for over five years and no one else has cut my hair since. The stylists in the salon have become like extended family at this point! All of the stylists really know what they’re doing and Stan is the man. Every time I see him I feel like he has another show coming up that he is doing hair for (we’re talking like Paris, NYC, etc) and he is always booking trips to stay up to date on the latest in the biz and keep on top of his game.
His salons are consistently ranked among the best in Western Washington as seen in Evening Magazine’s annual poll… in my opinion he should be #1! He has sponsored a number of charity events in the Maple Valley area and we are fortunate he opened a salon of this caliber in our little ho-​dunk town (that doesn’t seem so ho-​dunk anymore…)
They sell Bumble and Bumble products, every one of which smells amazing and works as advertised. I used to just use whatever I could find at the drug store, but he has converted me.
