So Im sure this place is good when you want a weave or locs but if you are looking to add a little something to the natural hair that grows out of your head, do not come here or at least make sure you know who is touching your head in advance. I had never been here before but chose to go there because of the reviews online and people saying they know natural hair. I have very short natural African American hair and I wanted to get simple blonde highlights to give my hair a little something. They gave me to Adillia who did not know what she was doing at all. Unfortunately for me, she didnt inform me that she wouldnt be able to achieve the look I wanted until she bleached my whole head orange and yellow! By the way I had virgin hair so there are other less harsh methods she could have used. And instead of being apologetic, she got an attitude and tried to say that I could get the look I wanted once my hair grows out. So in 5 months when my hair grows out I can get the look I wanted today? I told her to stop because it wasn’t what I wanted/she was making it worse and she gladly packed up all her stuff and proceeded to make snarky comments under her breathe the rest of the time I was there. She didn’t even wash my hair so when I got home I had to make sure I got all the bleach out. Adillia, just take the L and take a seat. I had to come in the next day so the supervisor, Iyana, could fix my hair, which in the end was basically making sure I could leave the salon looking decent. She was very nice and understanding with how upset I was so that helped (and is the only reason theyre getting two stars) but in the end they still expected me to pay for my service there! Granted they let me decide on the price but when I said I shouldnt have to pay at all, they told me it was for all the products used (aka all the products use to fix the mess they made). So I paid and left with damaged hair and a style I didnt even want. It’s a shame because I want to support local black-owned businesses but I honestly don’t think I will go here again.

This was my first time in the shop and I was not impresssd. I was getting a wash, deep condition and was going to get my locs two strand twisted. The wash was fine, but after that if was down hill. There is only two hair dryer so I sat off to the side with conditioner in my hair. Once the conditioner was out the retwist began. For starter there were too many hands in my head. (Four sets) If I wanted to tip for the service I wouldnt have know who to give it to. The first stylist who started my hair was twisting my locs to the left!! Huge no no!! One, two,three sets hands later I was done and ready for the dryer. I go and take a seat a the dryer and was forgotten about. I sat for 15 minutes until someone finally came and cut the dryer on. I sat under the dryer for all of 20 minutes, than go back to the booth. I get asked "was there anything else you were getting done?" I say,"no that was it." Im sorry but if one person was working on my head than it would have been known already that I wanted two strand twist. I walked in at 12:30 and didnt leave until 2:45. This appointment took way too long. For this establishment too be in business as long as it has (5 years) I would have expected more. Over all my hair came out good,not great. I could of had one of my homies do my hair and it would have came out looking better,more crisp. I did not get the salon experience.

I have been going to I Am Natural Beauty since August 2016 and I could write a very long review singing the praises of every aspect of this salon, but they say a picture is worth 1000 words, so I am including a pic of my most recent style. I will add a few more words: Everyone at I AM Natural Beauty is talented, professional, and genuine. If youre in Seattle and you think that the popular natural hair salon on Yesler is only game in town, its not. If you are fed up with awful customer service, inconsistent talent, and overall bad energy, treat yourself to a better experience - Go to I AM Natural Beauty.
