Coming from Houston, Texas where I have lived for over 22 years before I moved to Seattle, I have been spoiled by the best in the hair industry. I met Regina, a Stylist and Colorist with a following, at a different Salon a few years ago when I moved to Seattle - and I have tried to keep track of her because she is so talented with hair. I finally found her again at Obadiah Salon in Bellevue. The Salon itself is cool and classy with a European feel to it. No discomfort there! Nice positive, clean energy flowing. Regina has such a concept of hair that it is understandable that one does not want anyone else to cut or color your hair after Regina has done it. When you get out of her chair, your hair is RIGHTEOUS! She understands all types of hair, but most of all she understands how I want to LOOK, notwithstanding my own shortcomings. Regina has unique wherewithall knowledge and talent in the color concepts of hair. She KNOWS what to do and why it's done a certain way. She cut my hair in a way that astounded me. She has a pleasing professional ease about her and a funny streak to boot! Man or woman, I would put my head in her two competent hands any time. I've done it for a while, but I've never written a review until the last time she did my hair and I was Hollywood beautiful. Not flimsy, not overdone - myself and comfortable and just right. I will definitely return to Obadiah Salon and request Regina for my cut and color.
