Virtu Salon

I went to Virtu, and let me tell you.... I had a blast there... I have never been to a salon where I got such great customer service.... the staff was very professional and kind. I got my hair foiled and cut, and my hair was so healthy and shiny afterward.... and oh my god, my scalp did not even burn because I usually get color put on my roots and then foils.... but the way they did it at virtu was like the best way for my hair and scalp...I also treated myself to a conditioning treatment that they offer..... oh boy.... my hair was like silk...the color that they use does not even STINK !!!!!!!!!!! its so gentle....I am never going anywhere else.... I can walk to it , the location is awsome... the coffee shop across the street, called monkey grind coffee.... is also really good by the way. all in all it was a cool place, and it was trendy but very warm atmosphere Virtu was also really really clean... no dust or left over hair in any corners.... I loved the art in the salon, and I am also a big fan of abstract art.... Lisa Kin , the artist has some cool art hung up on the walls at virtu... go check it out. I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to know what it is like to get a great haircut and color , and also look at cool art. Thank you virtu and cant wait for my next appointment. Pros: great drinks that they offer more

Pros: very professional more

I was referred to Nihad at this salon by a friend of a friend. I'm not one to normally go to a new stylist on just the word of mouth from another, but I really like how her hair was styled as well as the color. All in all I can't say enough good about Nihad! He's energetic, funny and listens to what you want and gives a good suggestion. My hair is finally the color I wanted again with a great hip & trendy cut! Plus, the mop products he used worked so well on my hair that I purchased them and dumped my other stuff in the trash! THANKS NAHID! MUWAHH! Pros: Flexible on schedule, easy to find more

I was referred to Nihad by a friend of mine. Nihad was so great, he looked at my hair and knew exactly what to do. I usually do blonde foils and every where I have gone in the past, since my hair is so dark , it always turn out either brassy or orange. Well when Nihad did my hair , using the best color line that there is from Italy that he carefully formulated for my hair , my hair was the most beautiful blonde I have ever seen. It is just such natural looking blonde , and best of all is I get compliments every where I go. Nihad you truly are an amazing hair designer, and you know how to do your blonde foils fast and percisely !! I will now never have to worry about my hair going orange !!!! I recommend Nihad to anyone who wants to try something new or is just looking to go blonde... plus the color really saved my hair, it feels more healthy, shiny, and thicker !!!! Go to VIRTU Salon and see Nihad !! you wont regret you did !!!!! Thanks a bunch ! Pros: EVERYTHING AT VIRTU SALON IS TOP OF THE LINE , NIHAD IS GREAT !! more

Anyone who needs a great stylist must go to this salon. Ask for Nihad and you won't go wrong. Nihad has done my hair for quite some time and that is because he knows what works best for my hair; including color and cut.

After a few years of having different people doing my hair and never being happy, I decided to try yet another salon. The moment I walked into Virtu Salon, it felt nice. I was welcomed by this cute trendy girl with great hair who brought me a warn cup of tea while I waited for my stylist Nihad. I knew I made the right choice with this salon right away. Because not only did I get a warm welcome and some wonderful tea, I received the most relaxing scalp massage that seemed to relax my entire stressed out body. Then, Nihad took me to his chair and began to work what can only be called magic!! In no time I had the PERFECT cut and color I was so amazed. I have never been able to get the cut that I wanted. I was in and out in no about 40 mins and felt great. This salon goes above and beyond in what they do. If you are looking for the most AWESOME stylist in the area go see Nihad you will be so happy. Pros: Tons of free parking, and great prices more

I moved here from California over 2 years ago. I've been searching for a salon that offers the professionalism and true expertise I expect when I have my hair cut and colored. I've been to VIRTU SALON twice and am thrilled to say that my search is over. I love, love, love VIRTU. Nihad does my hair. I'll never go to anyone else. Nihad is the first stylist that has truly listened to me. He has ""vision"" and thinks ""outside the box"". He is amazingly talented. I am happier with my hair than I've ever been. I've gotten compliments from almost everyone. You can imagine how I feel when some one tells me that I look ten years younger after having had my hair done. Thank you Nihad. VIRTU is pretty and very comfortable. The people there are the best! Everyone is attentive to your needs. They're always asking if you need anything like water, coffee or tea. They serve the best tea. Nihad even gave me a shoulder massage! Fantastic! I trust Nihad so much that I would close my eyes and allow him to give my any style or color of his choosing. I've never, ever considered letting any other stylist do that. I can't wait until my next appointment. This is just the begining. Pros: Is located in a beautiful area. more

Nihad has cut and colored my hair for a couple of years and I have always received compliments (which never happened before -- I have had alot of bad haircuts). So, when he opened VIRTU, I was more than willing to drive 30+ miles to continue to be a client of his. He is extremely talented as a colorist and he strives to make hair healthy and cuts flattering for each individual. VIRTU SALON is in a lovely location, MOP products top notch. The staff is friendly and very professional. Those scalp and shoulder massages are a wonderful addition to an already pleasant experience. Highly recommended. Pros: parking is good in the back Cons: none more

Let's face it - I have the original bushy blonde hairdo. It is long, thick and very hard to manage. I drive all the way from Kent to the Asante Salon in Redmond and now to VIRTU SALON for my secret weapon- Nihad! He is the master of cut and color. I go out of there looking great every time (if I do say so myself.) Not only do I look good but I feel like I have had a chance to spend two hours with a warm friend, Nihad, who is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. The salon is lovely, the entire staff extremely nice - the energy is consistently good. Their MOP products are among the best for the environment and for chemically sensitive people like me. I cannot say enough that is positive about VIRTU. I will be making that drive and trusting Nihad with my bushy head of hair for many years to come. Did I mention that Nihad's prices are fair- he is actually worth more than he charges. Highly recommended. Pros: Excellent products, first rate haircare, exceptionally friendly and inclusive. I felt pampered! Cons: The only way to improve is to be closer to my home! more

I've never had a steady stylist in my entire life until I met Nihad. That was a few years ago and I haven't been to anyone else ever since. He has become a genuine friend and his amazing talents are so great that I don't even have to tell him what I want anymore, he just always seems to know. I've had some traumatic salon experiences in the past so it's nice to finally have someone I can rely on, especially because my hair type is hard to manage. I will definitely be a customer for life. Pros: Excellent service, stylist, and environment. Very reasonable prices Cons: zero zero more

Found this salon on the passport discounts site and after reading the reviews, I decided to try it out. Nihad was phenomenal! With my Asian hair, highlights usually turn out bright blond or brassy... somewhat unnatural. But Nihad understood what I meant by ""subtle"" and did a great job in giving me sophisticated highlights / lowlights without sitting under a dryer to correct what I got at another salon. His cut sits very well with my face - long layers that hang well whether you dry your hair or not. Service was great and the pricing was very reasonable - I highly recommend this place! Pros: Great service, plenty of parking, convenient Eastside location, takes passport / prime card more

I started seeing Nihad while he was working at a Salon in Kent. I can not say enough about what a wonderful stylist he is. He is a true perfectionist, especially when it comes to straightening your hair; he does a killer job with a flat iron! When I first went to him, my hair was platinum blond and he effortlessly took me back to my natural brunette color and my hair has never been healthier. Not only is he an amazing stylist; he is wonderful person and friend. You will not be disappointed when he is finished with your hair. Pros: Great Stylists and Atmosphere more

I drove by VIRTU SALON one day , and I saw the outside... the colors really attracted my eyes. I drove around and went iinside.. It was so classy in there. The big mirrors and the antique color dispensery area was just awsome... I had my hair done by Nihad, and he treated me to a complimentry glass of wine and had me discuss with him to what I wanted done with my hair color. I walked out feeling like a different person. My hair was so healthy... Thank you Nihad and VIRTU staff... you guys are so kind... I will be sending my sisters and friends to you guys from now on ...... KEEP IT UP ! Pros: Great foil at a wonderful price.. Cons: i didnt notice anything wrong more

I have to say my experience at VIRTU was really interesting. I was treated like an actual human being , not like an animal at a mill . I have gone to other salons in my past and I felt like they just wanted to get me in and out. At VIRTU, I was so relaxed and the atmosphere was so much fun !!!!! The music was never anything like I have ever heard.... it was very relaxing... I totally recommend this place , if you are looking for a salon with great services and fabulous prices... Dont miss out, go get your hair done here...this is utterly a salon that is not trying to be all COOL, its got its own funk to it ... and if you are spurr of the moment I need my hair done type of person , this place is awsome about taking walk-ins.. Pros: PARKING WAS AWSOME IN THE BACK OF THE SHOP more
