Review of the Decade:
"Thank you OlyCurl for helping me not only endure 10 days at "Chez" Swedish Hospital but being the best looking pole carrying-major surgery-hall walker-pancreatic cancer survivor patient-doing laps each day ever. All because of a great attitude, my bright red lipstick and the cutest bounciest hair do from OlyCurl. Thank you for helping me not only withstand the daily treatments but, wow, the health workers, giving them something to laugh and smile about. So appreciate my daughter Syrena for allowing me the OlyCurl experience and for my total life-changing, hair-taming time. This old lady is the best looking I have been since my college years 50 years ago. Even if I lose my hair in chemo I still know I looked good, no great, at one time in my life and I'll be encouraged. Who knows what hair will grow out! Maybe it will finally be white! Thank you again OlyCurl for taming the frizz! XOXO Cynthia"

"Best haircut of my life!!! I love the natural hair products, and now they are the only products that work with my very frizzy hair. Yukiko and her team do an incredible job with their innovative style of cutting curls. I will be a customer for life!!" -Margaret
"Best cuts for curly hair! I've been going to Oly Curl less than a year and I've been very pleased with my haircuts. The stylists are friendly, professional, and personal. I really appreciate that they offer a cut follow up within a week for free if you're not completely happy with the cut. Thank you!" -Kathleen
"My appointment with Julia went great! I opted to chop off a significant amount of my hair at my most recent appointment and I am very satisfied with the results. The entire team was very welcoming and willing to answer all my questions. I will definitely continue to recommend Oly Curl to all my curly haired friends! :)" -Taylor
"Rockstars! I have been coming to Yukiko since before OlyCurl existed and she was renting a chair at another salon (Winter '13/'14). I've been with her longer than my husband! As anyone with curls knows, this is kind of a big deal. Prices seem higher than other salons, but the health of my hair means I don't need her to rescue my hair as often as I would another stylist, and I barely use any products anymore! On my wedding day, my maid-of-honor did everyone's hair except mine. When I pointed that out to her, she said, "Your hair did itself. It growled at me when I walked past." We literally did nothing to my hair on my own wedding day! Now Julia has had a chance with my hair, and she did a great job, too! Customer for life!" -Holly
"I got on a plane to get my hair cut---they are THAT good. My hair went from frizzed-out and "crispy" feeling to soft, pretty curls! I have never had a salon take so much time to show me EXACTLY how to get results once I got back home---from showing me exactly how much product to use, to showing me how my hair should look and feel during every step, and having me practice before I left. They're great about answering all my questions online since I don't live there. Just can't say enough about how much I love OlyCurl!" -Anna
"I was a model for a class Yukiko and Julia taught at a local beauty school! I've never loved my curls before. They made my curls look amazing and the passion they have for their work makes it that much better! Thanks for my awesome curls!" -Alisha
"I cannot thank you enough for the fantastic job you did with my last hair cut and all the advice re: taking care of my curly hair. Ever since our last visit, my hair has been way more manageable and looks great even though I know I'm close to being due for my next cut. After cuts in the past, my hair would look dried out and get that weird "pyramid" look. Now, my curls fall nicely and my hair is hydrated. Thank you again!" -Richelle
"I loved my time with Keni!! This was my first dry cut experience and I couldn't have asked for more!!" - Audra
"I am getting lots of compliments on my cut, Yukiko. And I am getting the hang of using even MORE conditioner! The highlight for me, (aside from how much healthier my hair looks and feels) was learning how to get more days out of my 'do. Starting out with dry hair and just sprucing up the curls is my favorite take-away!" -Katie
"I'd give Kelsey's skill combined with great customer service skills double the amount of stars!" - Suzanne
"I am so excited to hear that Oly Curl is open for business! I treated myself to Yukiko's dry cut for my last birthday and she revived my curls like a total pro. Yukiko took a lot of time to educate me about care for my curls while she cut and styled my hair. She is warm and professional and my curls never looked better! I highly recommend her services." -Heather
"Yukiko is wonderful! I've had other stylists try to thin, texture, layer, etc. the bulkiness of my hair, but that never seemed to work. My hair is so much easier to take care of & looks great after my consultation and cut with Yukiko. I've gotten lots of compliments that I never used to get with my hair curly. Thanks so much!" -Debbi
"Keni did a great job with my hair! 10/10 will be taking my curls back to her again. I've been going to OlyCurl for over ten years and I've consistently had amazing experiences with all the stylists who have cut my hair." - Gracie
"FINALLY! Someone who 'gets it' in Thurston county. I have been searching for years to find a curly specialist who subscribes to the CG method (which makes my hair happiest!) and she is even in the same area as me. She listens, does great work, explains very well, is easily accessible, and overall provides an excellent experience. I already got compliments from strangers on my way home from my appointment--always a good sign!" -Kristyn
"Loved my haircut today Yukiko....it turned out just perfect. You took off just the right length, leaving plenty to still pull back. Thanks!" -Laura
"After long, painful searching for a stylist who recognizes that curly hair is not the same as straight hair, only curly, I have been to what feels like every upscale salon in multiple metropolitan areas. Turns out, the expert is in a strip mall in Tumwater, behind a Dairy Queen! From now on, even if I'm up in Seattle, I'll make the trip down for a cut. I got a great cut, fantastic tips, and actually went home with my hair looking great! (With curls, the best I can hope for is a stylist who doesn't insist on blowing it dry, usually). And now, a week later, my hair is so happy and healthy! I paused in giving a 5 sheers rating, since I didn't go in for a couture cut, but the cut I got was just SO GOOD that even if Yukiko ends up being terrible at something designer, she'll still be light years better than the other stylists I've seen." -Holly
"Kelsey was so informative and helpful. I appreciated her positivity and her expertise." - Lydia
"Yukiko has the ultimate combination of natural talent plus technical knowledge that makes her an incredible stylist. When you sit in her chair, Yukiko's drive to learn all that she can about curly hair is apparent and you know that you're in good hands. I was able to completely relax while she cut my hair--and my cut turned out to be even better than I had imagined! Yukiko made my hair look beautiful and she took the time to customize my products and my haircut as well as teach me new techniques to make my curls look their best. I could not be more impressed! Yukiko is the gold standard for hair stylists and I'm so lucky to have found her!!" -Andrea
"Awesome, awesome, awesome! I went in pretty confident I knew my hair. Quickly I realized that there was sooooo much I didn't know! Yukiko is not only great at styling hair, but she is also an expert when it comes to the health and longevity of your hair. She looked at my current hair products, assessed the chemical content, and was able to give me concrete things to look for and avoid when it comes to the types of hair products I use. As our time went on she showed me many techniques to encourage my curl while keeping it hydrated. She is also quite funny and VERY nice, so overall it was THE BEST experience I have ever had in a salon. Not only did I walk away feeling like a hair expert, but I also came away with a killer haircut. I recommend Yukiko to any and everyone, regardless of hair type. Her knowledge of hair health is needed to navigate the endless rows of hair products! Go to her. You won't be disappointed." -Brad
"I absolutely LOVE what Yukiko did for my hair. It's been a week since she did her magic and I am absolutely amazingly happy with my curls. If any of you are still skeptical, DON'T be!! Yukiko Taylor Stylist is AMAZING! NO MORE FRIZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! Just beautiful bouncy healthy curls." -Babs
"I can't tell you how good this felt! Thank you, Yukiko Taylor Stylist, I will be singing your praises!!!" -Val
"Absolutely stunned by the work you did. For the first time ever, I'm not ashamed to have curly hair! Thank you, Yukiko!!" -Melinda
"That's my hair and I love what Yukiko did to it. It looks beautiful. Thank You." -Donna, commenting on her before & after on Facebook.
"I had an absolutely amazing experience at this salon. Yukiko spent a good amount of time at the beginning of my appointment getting to know my hair's history and my current regimen. She actually listened to my woes about my current hair state and my hair care concerns. She also found out my hair goals for the appointment. Just this time she spent with me made me feel appeased and comfortable that she knows what she is doing. The cut was amazing, she did exactly what I asked. I finally have found someone I trust to care for my curls! Can't wait to come back!!! #luvOlyCurl #anothersatisfiedcustomer" - Shenise, FB Review
"Best experience getting my hair cut ever. They are so kind. Answer all your questions and walk you through curly hair care step by step. Totally worth it." - Marie, FB Review
"A visit to OLYcurl is a combination of a salon visit, a class on hair care and a therapy session assuring that we curly girls have choices beyond the flat-iron and silicone products that are often promised as the only version of beautiful hair. After my last cut elsewhere last March, (when once again, the stylist took my hair shorter than I has asked because he didn't know what else to do with it) I decided that maybe my course, wavy hair could be appreciated for what it is elsewhere and I made a consulting appointment at OLYcurl. In the 20 minutes I sat with Yukiko, she educated me more about hair and products than a lifetime of reading waiting room women's magazines and going to high-end salons. Yukiko talked with me in-depth about the potential my hair had to reclaim its curl and encouraged to grow my hair for 4 months and detox from sulfates and silicone using the "no-poo" method. I did so and followed up with an indulgent 3-hour appointment where Yukiko interviewed me about my habits, colored, set, and cut my hair and, finally provided me a written prescription for how to care for my new do and some hands-on lessons so I could replicate her technique at home. The texture and health of my hair (and now, my daughter's) has changed dramatically, as a result, and while I am still figuring out, as a s'wavy-headed woman, what cut will complement my hair most, Yukiko is a collaborator and expert in her field and a joy to work with. I look forward to going into my 51st year with more acceptance and less fuss about the hair I am grateful to have." - Cristina
"Kelsey is always game to change my usual cut a bit! She gets excited. I'm very happy going from a layered bob to a layered shag." - Kim
"[Kelsey was] very attentive to my concerns regarding my hairstyle... attention to detail throughout the entire process. Thanks for working with me and doing such an excellent job with my hairstyle." - June
"[Makayla] is amazing!!" - Lynn
