I just have to leave a review for this sweet little place. I've had my fair share of hair nightmares at various salons, so I research DEEPLY, and everyone I connected with here, from the internship ladies, to salon manager Yael, owner Audrey, as well as the stylists, were all truly genuine, down-to-earth people who cared about the clients. They answered every single question I had in a cheerful, candid way, no games or marketing-speak, zero pressure or data harvesting. I really appreciated them trusting me to show up for my appointment and not requiring access to my finances or credit card just to schedule.
I ended up arriving late, which I felt terrible for, but they were able to work around it that day and no one made me feel any worse than I already did. (I would have rescheduled without complaining!) Katy was very candid, laid-back and lovely to talk to, she was very careful of my hair, checking in with me the whole time to make sure she didn't take too much off and we got the overall shape I was looking for. She's particularly good with long and medium cuts, which the other reviews support!
Overall, this place feels like walking over to your neighbor's little house in the country (with very stylish decor), it's rare to find an entire salon staff that's so much at peace and just being themselves, while also wanting to make their customers happy, and it shines out to the clients.
Truly above and beyond service from Audrey and the entire crew. I actually felt like they were being TOO nice to me, I'm so unused to anyone acting with pure integrity, after being in the city too long!
Thank you for restoring a little of my faith 🙏

Audrey is from my wave of the ocean in Cali so she totally understood what I was looking for in a pixie cut for a woman my age. I am very happy and quite content with my hair. She is not only talented, but also a very pleasant person. Prices, ambiance, and hospitality are also friendly and doable for most budgets. I highly recommend. 👍🌸

A true spa is finally in Issaquah! House of Layo is amazing! They offer a great variety of services. Eyelash extensions, atheistic services, and massages. The true gem of the Salon is Audrey Rae, a true artist with hair, her cuts are fantastic, the best color I’ve ever had, and natural looking highlights (I have dark brown hair) which is very hard to get a natural looking highlight, that doesn’t need a lot of maintenance. She offers a blow out service like Dry Bar, only 100 % better. I would highly recommend Audrey and the rest of her staff! Issaquah needed a professional salon so badly, no more driving to Bellevue or Seattle. If you want a great haircut, color, and blow dry, Audrey at Salon Layo is your girl.

I always leave feeling amazing after my appointments. Audrey really listens to what I want and makes it happen every time. My hair has never looked or felt better—highly recommend!

Kelly is absolutely amazing! I have been going to her for the last couple of years, and have followed her to her new salon, due to the amazing job she does and her easy to talk to and kind personality! I 10/10 recommend her over and over again!!

I chose Tempe because she specializes in cutting hair based on texture and facial features—and she absolutely delivered! I love my new haircut; it’s bouncy, sassy, and perfectly suits me. The color is even better than I imagined—warmer and more vibrant than before. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who understands both style and individuality!

I had the best experience with Audrey! The venue is calming, clean, and modern — the perfect vibe the moment you walk in.
Audrey was incredibly welcoming and truly performed magic on my hair. I came in with prior highlights and an all-over color that was much darker than I preferred. She took the time to really understand my goals, nailed exactly the shade and tone I was hoping for, and even matched my extensions so I didn’t have to purchase new hair right away — a miracle!
I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Audrey!

Dr. Amira at House of Layo is amazing! I was having horrible headaches and jaw pain from issues with TMJ. Dr. Amira recommended I get Masseter Botox and it changed my life. My headaches are gone and as a bonus benefit my face has slimmed and given me a more sharp jawline! Her bedside manner and attention to detail is so great. I highly recommend seeing her!

Kelly did my haircut today and it was perfect! Completely understood what I asked for, asked questions to make sure I was happy the entire time, great wash and incredible blow dry. I am actually particular about how my hair is blow dried and can say Kelly did a perfect job. I'm so impressed, will definitely come back and the entire salon had a warm/welcoming/friendly atmosphere.
