It's been several months since my last haircut, and I really needed it to be trimmed, layered, and…read morethinned for the new season. I was promptly checked in for my 3:30 PM appointment. My hair stylist Sophia was very attentive to my request and careful in washing, cutting, and styling. The instructor checked constantly and made a few small changes to my layers. I recommended thinning since my hair quickly grows thick, and Sophia immediately fixed the cut. For the quality, price, and attention to detail, the haircut was amazing. The only downside is the long appointment time (I finished near 5:30), but it was understandable since the students needed to check their plan and each step with the instructor. I would 100% come back and recommend customers here.

Warning: I would be very cautious booking color services at the Aveda Institute…read more I arrived early for my 1 PM appointment and was initially told I wasn't even on the schedule, which immediately set a stressful tone. Once I was eventually taken in. It took over 40 minutes after the consultation for the student to begin working on my hair because they were still writing notes and preparing their sheet. The service itself felt inconsistent and poorly managed. I understand this is a training environment, but there seemed to be a lack of structure and time management throughout. My color turned out chunky and stripy, and it was very obvious that at least two different people worked on my hair because my original stylist needed assistance mid way through the coloring. One side came out significantly more orange than the other, and it honestly looked like I had months of grown-out color. After my hair was washed, I was told they "didn't have time" to finish with a blowout. Instead, I was given a card for a complimentary blow dry for another visit, which I was fine with and they said we'd do a rough dry. Since it was 6, which was closing time the instructor stepped in to "rough dry" my hair. There was no product and they did a few passes. I left with my hair about 90% wet. I was shocked that they allowed me to leave the appointment in that condition. Not until I went home and fully dried my hair was when I noticed that my hair cut was uneven. My original 1 PM appointment didn't end until around 6:15 PM. I later emailed them about the experience and, after escalating it with multiple people, they brought me back 2 days later for a correction appointment, which took about 3 hours. I'm still not fully happy with the result, but it will have to do for now while my hair recovers from being processed twice within 48 hours. Overall, I would strongly advise having very low expectations. I would not recommend getting your hair colored here. A simple trim might be okay, but even that feels like a gamble depending on who you get.

I was visiting Seattle and decided to come to this salon because I heard really good reviews online…read moreand on tiktok, honestly, worst mistake. Obviously, I understand it is a beauty school and the people there are students but as you walk in there is a sign that states something to the effect of all students are being supervised by the licensed stylist. This could not be further off. I asked for a blowout, she applied product incorrectly and was then corrected by a fellow student- by the way my hair was completely weighed down by this product and i'm not even entirely sure it had heat protectant. I have long and thick hair but i get blowouts pretty regularly and never faced a problem, she started attempting with her round brush and got the brush tangled in my hair several times. She eventually told me my hair needed a cut at the ends bc it thins out -- i have layers so of course it thins it. I did not come in for a cut and again never faced this issue before. I respectfully declined the haircut and she reattempted, eventually said she does not think it will come out right. After already being frustrated by this, I just asked her to do blowdry and straighten because how could you mess that up. She proceeded to rough dry my hair and then suggest to curl my hair, at this point, I just wanted her to do something she was confident in doing because blow drying certainly was not it. Mind you, the entire time there was minimal to no supervision from the head beautician. While my hair was still wet she began curling it, i literally heard the crunch. I asked her "is my hair still wet" and she said "yeah a bit." After a prolonger period of time and much frustration, i asked if she could get some help in finishing my hair because it was taking forever. Her colleague assisted and advised her to finish drying my hair because it was still too wet. After way too much product and a terrible experience later, we finally finished. I paid and wanted to leave as soon as possible. I understand students still learning but completely drying someone's hair prior to using heat is common sense. Additionally, there was literally no superivison in sight. I would literally never recommend this place, it was the worst experience. After posting this review on google, the owner responded saying my review was not true and she was supervising. While she was the one who washed my hair which was the only good part by the way, the remainder of the experience went as I stated above. She claims she was supervising however she seemed to be giving individuals a tour of the establishment rather than actually paying attention when the stylist was so clearly struggling.

I had one of the worst salon experiences at Evergreen Beauty College in Renton. In the…read moreconsultation, both the student stylist and the instructor told me they could dye my hair brown. No limitations were mentioned. I spent five hours in the chair. My hair was bleached (they called it "lightening," which was misleading) so harshly that it became dry, brittle, and broke off in places. It was then dyed two separate times, further damaging and both times the color was completely wrong. I left with bright orange hair instead of the brown I requested. The instructor was extremely sassy and blamed me for the results throughout the process. The student and instructor argued openly in front of me about what to do. Behind the instructor's back, the student repeatedly said the instructor didn't know what she was talking about when it came to the color. I later learned from a professional who fixed my hair that Evergreen puts absolute beginners with no hands-on experience on the salon floor, but advertises them as if they are near the end of their program. The student who worked on my hair had never done this on a real person before -- only book work. This was not disclosed to me before the service. At the end, they charged me $90 for severely damaged hair in the wrong color. The service was unprofessional, misleading, and damaging. I am requesting a full refund and do not recommend Evergreen Beauty College to anyone who values the health of their hair or expects honest disclosure about who will be working on them. Edit: they left my bleach on for an hour and a half as well. No instructor or stylist in sight the whole time they left me at the heater.

Went home and my family started to laugh on how crocked the back and there were high and lows. Overall bad haircut, not worth it.

(Spa services review)…read more I'm generally a fan of visiting the Euro Institute for spa services and depending on what you're after, is a flip-flop between here and the Evergreen Beauty College that's about ten minutes away. Here, while it's also a beauty school, has placed an emphasis on building the ambiance that many professional spa services build for clientele. There's the nature-themed furniture and plants in the lobby (maybe from Marshall's or Homegoods), quiet sounds of waves and bells in the spa area, dimmed artificial lights, good air circulation, lots of natural light coming in from the second floor, and overall just a quiet, inclusive-feeling environment. There's also the option to do the spa treatments with a wrap. When you're led to the restroom to do so, there's three restroom stalls and a larger open area to change and put your items in an open cubby. It would've been nice to have something like shower stalls to change in for privacy instead of choosing between taking a restroom stall or changing in the open. The amount of machines, devices, and spa treatment materials used was worth the price. For one of the facial treatments I got, there were LED light treatments, masks, eye coverings, steam towels, steam treatment, arm and facial massages, toner, and other services included for under $60. Both times I went, the students were well-accommodating and balanced between asking questions and keeping the quiet ambiance. There are some features I'd appreciate if they were implemented like online scheduling (can only be done through the phone or in-person), spacing out the spa tables more/having less of them (students easily bumped into other machines or had to navigate around things because of how cramped it was), and the private changing stalls as noted above. Overall, a really nice and more affordable way to treat yourselves or others as a gift. Driving in and out can be a challenge because it's situated next to a busy, major intersection.

Cute beauty institute. Everyone was professional…read more I got the essential cucumber body treatment, but I don't understand which part of the treatment had cucumber. I thought I would have my eyes covered with a slice of cucumber at the very least, but that didn't happen. Nevertheless, it was quite relaxing. I left feeling greasy after the oil blend, so would probably try another service next time. Keep in mind that they are students performing the services which means they can't receive tips by credit card. I made that mistake and didn't bring cash. Will know better by next time!

I'll start off by sharing a positive experience I had at The Studio Seattle, which was getting to…read morelearn from Hailey Henderson. Hailey is as excellent of an instructor as she is an actor. She clearly loves teaching and is incredibly knowledgeable about acting theory and applications. Hailey has high expectations for her learners and is also deeply compassionate, a perfect combination for creating an effective learning environment. I am immensely grateful to have been able to learn with her. Hailey is the primary instructor for The Studio Seattle, whereas Andrew Tsao is the artistic director and founder. Andrew was going to cover the last several weeks of classes in my Acting Foundations 2 class series, and prior to this he co-taught a class with Hailey. In this class, Andrew had us participate in exercises where we would be improvising interactions with a scene partner. These scenes were meant to be highly realistic- we were playing ourselves and had similar relationships to each other as we do in real life. Our objectives and given circumstances were given to us individually, without our scene partner's (or the class's) knowledge. In one scene, Andrew had one of our male classmates play the role of a sexual predator towards not one, but two of our classmates. When his scene partner responded to his unwanted advances authentically, by attempting to distract the perpetrator and leave, Andrew told her that she was responding incorrectly and that should/would in fact "fight". He also told her that her "avoidance" would be a hindrance to her as an actor. In another scene, part of the given circumstances was that one of my classmates had had an abortion. I followed up with Andrew expressing my concern that not one, but two extremely sensitive topics, particularly for women, were chosen for these exercises. I stated that that the nature of the exercises required us to be ourselves, thereby increasing the level of sensitivity and creating a high potentiality for trauma/re-traumatization. I acknowledged that while actors do work with difficult content, we get to choose and consent to this, which was not an option in this situation (since we did not know our scene partner's backgrounds or objectives). I stated my expectation that content will be more thoughtfully chosen for these exercises moving forward and that learners be made more fully aware of their options. Andrew's initial response acknowledged that he could have been more thoughtful in ensuring everyone was aware that they could opt out of the exercises. He did not address my concerns over the nature of the content itself, other than implying that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content (I have since heard from multiple other acting instructors that this is not at all the case). I responded by saying that I appreciated his effort to improve transparency around opting out of exercises moving forward. I again stated my concern over the content itself, particularly as it relates to women, and expressed skepticism that more experienced actors would have been fine with the content. Overall, I felt like my concerns were dismissed. Andrew responded by disinviting me to continue attending classes at The Studio Seattle. Based on my experience, I'm of the opinion that Andrew Tsao is not interested in feedback as it relates to the safety of his students, particularly women. For this reason, I would caution any woman/female person against taking classes at The Studio Seattle.
