Testimonials

"I am very happy with my new hair! I came in with over treated hair that hadn't been cut for a while! I left with a cut and foil and it feels and looks great! Thank you soooo much! I can't wait to go back!"

~ Lisa S. - Mill Creek, WA (E-mail to Whitney on 10/28/09.)

"You always do such an amazing job on my hair, whether it's coloring it, cutting it or both, you really know your stuff. I appreciate your talent and our conversations - I am so glad I found you!

Additionally, I must say, I thoroughly enjoy your salon. Not only is the vibe there exceptional, but the decor is tasteful and the people are friendly and relaxed. I have been to many salons Downtown, Bellevue and Kirkland and living (nearby), I decided to just try Elle Marie for a change. I am so glad I did. You have certainly raised the bar on all of those other salons!

All in all, I found my fit! Thank you for providing such a fantastic environment not only for your staff, but your clientele as well. All of the hard work has paid off! Thank you and see you in two months! ;)"

"When my best friend and I entered the salon at random a week ago to look through style books, we had an idea we might take the plunge and cut off our long hair, however, we had no idea we would recieve such a friendly welcome and fantastic new styles. My family was surprised and loves my new look. Thank you for being so patient with me and my fearful state...it was a huge change and you made the transition so bearable and actually enjoyable. We totally enjoyed all the gals in the salon and I personally look forward to you being my new stylist. You are worth the 6+ hour drive to get there!! As promised, I will email a picture of myself after putting on some makeup and sporting my new do. Thanks Whitney!"

"Here is the picture I promised after putting on some makeup and feeling "presentable" Kriste and I had a blast with you and your salon last weekend and look forward to coming back regularly...your our gals now :) We both love our new styles and they were a big hit with our friends and family."

~ Kandie W. - Florence, OR (E-mail to Whitney on 3/31/09.)

"I just want to make you aware of how very pleased I am with the cut and highlights you gave me this morning. As we discussed, lately its been very hard for me to maintain my hair's look because of the short cut I currently have. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my 'hair dilemma' and making the growing-out process more bearable. I look forward to the client/stylist relationship we've already started to build. See you in March! "
