Fosbre is awesome! I discovered this downtown Olympia gem a couple years ago and have not gone anywhere else for a haircut. You do not just get a haircut here. You get a broader and more beautiful self-care experience. My hair dresser is Leah Hitchens. She is amazing. Ive rarely been able to get my hair cut exactly the way I visualize, but Leah gets me and does it every time. As soon as I walk through the door, I am greeted by her beautiful smile, asking me if I would like something to drink. Then, we start shampooing and talking. Shes very engaging and cares about me as a person and in her art of hair dressing to make sure I leave feeling more fully me. Last time, I locked my keys in the car right before I parked and came in. She recognized something was weighing on me and I told her what happened. She did everything she could by asking the other staff for support and we found a locksmith to come and take care of my key situation as we continued our haircut so I could let it go and enjoy the experience. In the middle of my haircut, the locksmith came in with my keys and I left without having to wait around. The haircut is always so enjoyable. It begins with a neck and shoulder massage, followed by more engaging conversation and Leahs artful use of her tools - should I call them scissors, shears? I dont know. It feels like it should have a more cinematic word the way she uses these tools to care about and craft every detail. I highly recommend Fosbre and Leah Hitchens.

I went in with a (professional) dye job gone wrong, think green ends and orange roots. I went in hoping for the best but expecting to Hate my hair for the next few months. From the moment I sat in the chair Charity reassured me that getting my hair to where I could stand to look at it would be her end goal. The instructor was very nice and knowledgeable and from the start let me know that because of the state of my hair it was going to be a long appointment. Charity was amazing, she was so understanding and professional. I have A LOT of hair and she did not make me feel like it was an annoyance to deal with like other professionals have in the past. Charity is a perfectionist and a life saver! If I could give her more stars I would! She is AMAZING! Her and Laura (I apologize if I Misspelled the name) stayed after close just to make sure my hair was perfect. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication and above all their professionalism. Thank you. I have recommended them to everyone (especially those who compliment my hair).

I have been to Fosbre Academy of Hair Design once before and was completely satisfied with my hair cut. My second time I went in for coloring and looking for a different style. I was nervous at first about having a student cut my hair, but she was a senior student and frankly cut my hair better than anyone has my entire life. Only twice have I been happy with my hair cuts and both times were from Fosbre Academy of Hair Design. The student really focused and Fosbre only gave her little instruction but she masterfully gave me a look that I feel great in...and thats what counts. The price was with in my budget not to mention I got to watch Liza Minnellis "Cabaret" while waiting for my color to set. I would recommend this place considering they have given me 100% satisfaction with my hair cuts. My only regret was that I didnt bring enough cash with me to tip the student what she deserved. She will no doubt be an excellent hair stylist when she graduates from Fosbre Academy of Hair Design.

So other than "Yay, I love these people!" here is my story: I took my sister here and paid to have her hair done as a birthday gift. She has long hair nearly down to her butt and a very sensitive scalp. The last time we had her hair colored at another salon they had to rinse half way thru the 1st application, still charged a fortune, and in the end messed up her color. The experience had her scared to have anyother color work done. So I explained to the student before the service and she and the instructor worked out a way to apply all over color and weaved highlights without burning her or causing any discomfort. They also used a special product to blonde her highlights even though she had colored hair. Apparently it leaves hair healthier than any other bleach by actually replacing protiens! So good prices, top quality products, and they care about their clients specific needs. All over great salon... maybe I need to go to school haha ;)

recently visited Fosbre Academy for a foil and haircut and would like to share that I had a great experience, I love my hair and have received many compliments and I would definitely have my hair done again by this salon. The salon is classy and professional yet lively, young and fun and I felt very comfortable there. The student that did my hair was professional, friendly and knowledgeable offering me advice and options as she listened to what I wanted. We made a decision together along with her instructor, Noah Fosbre, for a cut and color that was perfect for me. I am very satisfied with the service and the way my hair turned out. I learned about hair care and purchased some high quality products that continue to improve the condition of my hair. In fact, it hasnt been this soft, shiny or healthy in a long time. Fosbre Academy exceded my expectations and I will recommend them to my friends and family.

I have been going to Noah at Fosbre Academy for about 4 years now. I first learned of him when a friend from Texas who had been searching for a decent person to color her hair found him. He is awesome, both in his hair coloring/cutting/and styling ability. But his professionalism and work ethic is inspirational. I drive 300 miles from the other side of the mountains to have my hair done by him. Because of my extremely thin hair, no one else has ever been able to help me maintain it to my liking. In the years since meeting Noah, I have brought several family members to him for Christmas presents. My mom and my granddaughter both loved what he was able to do for their hair that no other stylist was able to accomplish. I could not recommend Noah more highly. I hope you try out his salon and meet all his friendly and professional staff soon.

I have a lot of hair so it looks like I have thick hair, but its actually really fine and can Frizz really easy. Noah has been the first person to recognize that and give me a cut that gives my hair fullness without making it choppy and frizzy! Great salon! Highly recommended! Plus their just plain fun!!! Ive been there several times and love the results every time. When you think of a someone just learning to cut your hair it seems a little scary, but its not at all like that. They talk to you about what you want, then they go over the plan with Noah, and they work together to create what you want. They do an amazing job every time. Even the most junior students skills are beyond that of many graduated students from other schools... And theyre very professional. Top quality service and unique talent! Couldnt be happier!!!
