Angelo Mendi Boutique Salon

If the waiter told you the special tonight was $20 but then after you ate your meal he/she brought a bill out for $40, how would you feel about that? That's exactly what happened when I brought my 12 year old daughter for a hair cut. The salon is so disorganized they changed stylists after I made the appt, cut my daughter's hair and THEN told me the rate would be $40 instead of the $19 that Dennis told me I would be charged over the phone when I made the appt. The stylist and front desk staff both tried to argue with me and were defensive and made me pay $26 for a haircut my daughter disliked! Never. Going. Back. Salon has gone way down hill...so many better options in N Tacoma. more

I purchased a Groupon for a womens haircut with Dennis Fisher at Angelo Mendi Boutique Salon. I was pleasantly surprised with everyone I met while at the salon. Dennis was friendly and knowledgable. He listened to me while I explained what style I was looking for. He gave me some great styling advice too. I love my new cut and will definitely return to Angelo Mendi. more

Ya know, I think the first 2 times I have gone to JB @ Angelo's I was please...Expensive & different, but I was happy to have a good....If not a very SHORT... hair style. more

I started going to Angelo Mendi after another stylist stopped listening to me and gave me the same cut over and over (why do they do that?). Oliver actually listened and has consistently every time I have seen him over the past year. He recently recommended a new look for me and I hesitantly went along with it. The best suggestion I ever took! I have never received as many compliments about my new color and style. Oliver you are the best!!! Pros: excellent customer service - great styles more

I love going to Angelo Mendi's mostly because my brothers girlfriend Sara was a stylist there but unfortuntley she recently left (her choice). Everyone I know and who has been to Sara knows she is a sweet and excellent stylist and she will be missed by many! But thankfully I'll still be able to talk to her and hopefully she will become part of the famiy :D Pros: they still have great service Cons: They lost Sara : ( an excellent stylist more

I have been seeing Paige to get my haircuts for the past year now and she has given me the best haircuts I've ever had. I've been more impressed with her work than with far more expensive stylists in Portland and Seattle. She really understands how to give curly hair shape and layers it beautifully. I'll never go anywhere else as long as I live in Tacoma! Pros: AWESOME cuts on my curly hair, time and time again Cons: zero more

I was a random walk-in at Angelo Mendi after having some other not-great experieces around Tacoma. Sara cuts and colors my hair and she is great. I have recommended her to several friends - who now all have really cute hair! Also, I aboslutely love the uncharacteristically comfortable shampoo stations. The salon is cool without being pretentious, and I always leave with a bounce in my step because hey...my hair looks good. Pros: Great haircuts, fab shampoo stations, relaxing atmosphere Cons: Sometimes can be a little slow more

I have never had more great compliments on my hair, ever. Pros: They know what they are doing Cons: Not much parking more

I made an appointment with Angelo Mendi months prior to do a trial run for my wedding coming up in August. I drove down from Seattle, and was treated horribly as soon as I sat in his chair. All he kept saying was ""you have so much hair"", and shaking his head no. Finally he says "" I can't do it"". I was shocked since I'm no Crystal Gail. Was he actually kicking me out of his chair, after making the appt. 3 mo. ago, and driving down from Seattle in traffic? I was stunned, confused, and shocked that he would talk down to me like that. He then passed my head of hair to his apprentice Sara (who was very kind), who started curling my hair after she had to be shown how to use the curling iron. Mind you, I am paying Mendi's rates. Before I could see the final result, I was asked to check out while I was still in the chair. The total was $70 and I said ""go ahead and make it $90"". Thinking that for a $70 fee that I would give a $20 tip. Checking my receipts when I got home, I was surprised that they charged me $160.00!!! Are you kidding me, they thought when I said ""make it $90"", that I meant a $90 tip!!! Even Mendi's high profile clients who he kept boasting about wouldn't even do that. This was such a bad salon experience for me that I couldn't sleep all night. He should never talk to a person/client the way he did, and I should have never taken it. more

This salon rocks. I got a great cut and an awsome color. Turns out parking is not a problem tons of parking behind the salon at stadium thriftway! My stylist was very talented and she gave me some great styling tips too! I will never go anywhere else. This place is a hidden treasure in the heart of stadium district. Also the front desk staff is super nice and accomodating from the minute you walk in the door! Pros: great atmosphere, great stylists and friendly faces Cons: Absolutely none! more

It was worth the drive for sure. Even getting lost they took the time to patiently guide me in. Actually not hard to find- is on a main street but was just me. There, the staff was very friendly & helpful and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. I already felt like royality and hadn't even got my cut yet! Angelo was amazing and I could see why he was in great demand. He took time to know me & my hair before getting to work. I was nervous about getting my length taken off but I told him I trust him (which I never say to a man.) lol My cut was amazing,...the whole experience was amazing as I tried to hold back tears. I looked 10 years younger! I can't wait to go back. Pros: Staff & service; ambience; skill Cons: parking-- but worth it! more

This Salon is well worth an hours drive or more! Coming from LA,, ""where the best is the best."".I wasn't sure what to expect. There is a hidden secret to this salon that puts it on a GLOBAL MAP!. Dont trust your hair to anywhere else! Many Famous people feel the same way! Don't let Tacoma throw you off. The salon has a great atmosphere, everyone is friendly...and for what they produce, they could all be snobs...they Rock.. But you will feel right at home and get the best hair you ever had! If you want to look even better than you feel..call em..you will be so happy you did. When you are done..make succesive appiontments before you leave..this place is smokin, and gets booked..and for good reason! Pros: everything is fabulous Cons: parking is just a little triky- but free more

I went to Angelo Mendi for the first time and had the most fantastic experience ever in a salon! I was greeted with a warm friendly smile and offered a beverage right away! The atmosphere was warm and very inviting and the staff was unbelievable! I was acknowledged by several stylists that came over to say hi and introduce themselves while I was receiving my service. I had the feeling of being with close friends and family the whole time I was there. I will deffinately be returning to my new home away from home! I couldn't be more pleased with my new haircut as well as my overall experience at Angelo Mendi! Thank you to all the staff for creating an unforgettable time! Pros: Everything about the salon was wonderful from the staff to the atmosphere! Cons: Absolutely none! more
