My head has found a home! Absolutely , completely loved this salon! Great Aveda salon - and Jessica was just the best! Extremely friendly folks, caring and felt like I knew them, they knew me forever! I am only going here - i am done searching for my hair salon! This is it :) read more

I have had to get my hair fixed twice by two different stylists here over the past years I've had my hair done here. Their stylists have outdated ways of dying hair (particularly if you are going blonde), don't communicate with their clients, and rarely give me hair I'm happy with. Once a stylist even cut my hair completely lopsided and ended up dying my hair green instead of blonde. I do not recommend going here unless you're looking to get hair that looks like you're from the early 2000s. read more

I've been going to the Beehive for a few years now since I moved into the area. Since then I have moved to Ballard so it's not as convenient but I still make the drive to Greenlake to get my hair done. Over the years the Beehive ladies have helped me grow my hair out, put in highlights, dye it brown, put in more highlights, cut all my hair off and finally go platinum. I've seen Nicole, Brenda, Lisa and most recently Jale and they have all rocked. All the other stylists are all totally friendly as are the front desk folks. Michele also does my brows for me and she does a lovely job. It's nice to get my brows and hair done at the same appointment. read more

I've been going to Beehive and Shannon for just about 4 years now. The first time I went, I was in the process of growing out my hair, and decided that maybe I wanted to stop coloring it. Shannon and I talked about it, and she did a foil to break up the line between colored and my own color. I was able to transition into natural hair color with maybe one more well-timed foil. In the meantime, my hair was going quite gray and turning from fine and straight to a combo of wiry gray and straight hair. It was, for me, kind of amusing. Until I saw a photo of my semi-fuzzed hair. No, this is not what I wanted, and I decided to go short again. Shannon was right there with me. I've gone from a conservative short cut, which looked great, to a very short spiky cut that is a ton of fun. I have a standing every-5-week appointment, with stellar results every time. And you know, everyone there is fun to talk with, and knowledgeable about the products, so I'm always steered right. One of the reviewers said she would come here even if she was bankrupt. I feel the same way. read more

My first time here for a hair cut and I really loved it- the overall experience was very relaxing. Erika did a great job helping me decide what to do with my super thick hair. And conveniently located across the street from Mighty O's ;) read more

I started seeing Erika for both color and cut when Beehive reopened from the pandemic. She has done my hair about four times now and it is always perfect. I appreciate that Erika keeps her level of chattiness in line with what the individual customer wants. I happen to prefer a quiet environment and she really respects that. Can't say enough about this stylist, both personally and professionally. read more

I stopped in Beehive one day after lunch because I was looking for an Aveda salon with a well recommended level 1 hair stylist... I'm glad I did! I just got my hair cut my Faith this morning and she did a wonderful job on my hair! She really listened to what I wanted and spent a good 5 minutes looking at my hair and seeing what would be the best way to cut it. I have auburn very curly fine hair that I also straighten about half the time and she understood exactly what I wanted! This has to be one of my favorite hair cuts! The salon has a great vibe, good interior and there are no issues parking! read more

I love this place, especially after receiving a life changing haircut from Meg! I've got very thin/fine wavy hair that just needed help, Meg knew just what to do and I'm proud to say my new, shorter haircut makes me look like a grownup for the first time in my life. Best of all, she understood when I said I am a novice when it comes to hair styling and I actually walked out with a cut I can style on my own without crying. All the staff here are friendly and fun to talk to. Sometimes at a salon I feel weird about the forced small talk because it just seems so fake, but the ladies here have genuine conversations with you and are hilarious. They can send you a reminder text message a few days before your appointment and the day of if you want, which is awesome if you have a busy schedule and a bad memory like myself. The neck massage you get during a hair washing is pretty awesome, too. read more

It's okayyyy. Decent hair stylist. I think you get better deals for technique elsewhere though, like Vine, GQ, helmet.

I have been going to this salon for a few years now for facials, waxing and haircuts. I have had 4 different stylist and the same person for facials and waxing. All of them have been friendly and professional. It is out of my way location wise but I keep coming back because I know I will not be disappointed. Not to mention I am comfortable here. It doesn't feel snooty or to hipster like some of the places out there. read more

I love the inside of Beehive--it was so pretty and bright! The color clash was not at all jarring (very trendy, in fact) and I absolutely adored the turquoise accents. I came in for the first time after my favorite stylist at the Headlines Salon in UVillage left for Prague (come back Allison!) and the staff at the desk were a little bit rude, but overall fine. I was expecting something really wonderful, but my stylist, Danielle, only did an OK job. For someone older, it would have been fine--perfect, even! But I'm a teenager, and my hair turned out sort of flat and lacking in style. Danielle was really nice, though, if a bit snobby about my first-time-client status. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I think I'm going to try something else next time! read more

I have been getting my hair cut and colored with Mitch at Beehive for the last three years. He is helpful, attentive, and just a really great person. The salon itself is warm and inviting. Highly recommend! read more

Mitch is the best!!! I'm a hairstylist's daughter so I'm picky and I know what I want. He is kind, listens to me, doesn't treat me like the demanding client I probably am, and gives me a great style. I have been looking high and low for a good stylist since I moved away from my mom, and I'm so happy to have found Mitch! read more

I've not had one bad haircut in the year that I have been going to Beehive. Mitch is awesome! Great stylist, great conversationalist, plus the place has a nice atmosphere and friendly front desk. I highly recommend. read more

Laura is a miracle worker! I went in with dull color and a cut in desperate need of fixing, and came out with fantastic highlights and a vastly improved hairstyle. Laura listened to my concerns and provided expert advice for my new look. The salon itself is instantly calming with its familiar Aveda touches - tea, candles, friendly service - and all the products make your hair feel (and smell) amazing. I highly recommend this place. read more

Cute place! Nice front desk gals and hair stylists. I have erin. $20 Off your first time cut!! Aveda products. I'll go back! read more

I've been moving around to various hairstylists over the past year, trying to find one that fits. I called Beehive because of the great reviews and short distance from my house. They said they could set an appoint next day with Mitch, who was my first male stylist. I was so impressed! I brought in a photo of a style that I would like, but he immediately asked how I normally style it and then suggested how he would like to style it to best frame my face. It was the first time a stylist actually took about 5 minute s to chat instead of agreeing and moving right on into the service. I have naturally curly hair and when he was done, it was the best hair cut I've had in years! He layered my hair to give it the perfect shape in the back and more volume without adding anything more than curling scrum. He bang cut was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Mitch for making me feel beautiful! read more

I get my hair cut here regularly by Schona- she's fabulous: great at cutting/styling my hair and a wonderful person to chat with! So, when it came time for my wedding I knew I wanted Beehive Salon to do the hair and makeup. I am writing this review based on the group appointments for my wedding party. The service was amazing! Some of the regular stylists were on vacation, so the salon had a whole section by the windows just for us. They offered waters and gifted us some stress relief lotion. The appointments were executed on time and the quality was great. The only critique I received from my bridal party was that while the makeup artist (Michele) was great at a natural look, she didn't have the skills to put on fake eyelashes, which my bridesmaid had brought with her. That was disappointing. It is Seattle, so maybe expected, but still disappointing from someone who I believe was trained. Other than that snafu, Michele and Schona (who also did makeup) were excellent! The four stars is because of the price. I think the price should be based on the amount of work/time it takes to do some of the hair styles, rather than a flat fee. Obviously, there would need to be a minimum amount, but I think $80 is expensive for some of the super simple styles that were requested by a couple of the bridesmaids and were completed in 10-15 minutes. I was sensitive to the cost and it was completely optional for my wedding party, whether they wanted hair, makeup, or both done at the salon. I was happy for them to do their own too. I was so happy with my bridal hair and makeup, done by Schona (we had done a trial the month before, too). Oh, and fun fact- Beehive is right across from Zoka Coffee and Mighty-O Donuts so we had great coffee and donuts to snack on while we were waiting. read more

I went to Beehive for the first time last night for a haricut and I LOVE the place! First of all, my haircut was great, and the stylist was incredibly helpful with offering me tips. She listened carefully to everything that I said I wanted, but also spoke up to let me know if I was suggesting something that would look awful. She made sure I was with her every step of the way. And the price is incredible -- only $38 for a cut, including a shampoo (w/ scalp massage), blow-dry, and styling. The salon is a very refreshing place -- nothing like those salon chains that completely lack personality. Beehive has a great vintage-y feel and look. And that yummy Aveda herbal tea... Also, I love that they use Aveda products, not some weird toxic stuff like a lot of places do. I will definitely be back! Hopefully next time Mighty-O will be open so I can treat myself to a donut... read more

My boyfriend started getting his hair cut at Beehive from Shauna, and I absolutely loved how his hair looked, so I gave her a try. I was so pleased with my haircut that I recruited my sister, and then my mom. Needless to say, I found my new hairdresser! I highly recommend her for both male and female cuts/styles. read more

Anna Ellis is the best hair stylist that I have ever had. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone - male (b/c she is great with short hair) and female for so many wonderful reasons! I moved to Seattle in 2004, and saw a co-worker's cute short hair cut, asked her who did it, and was referred to Anna. Thank god I found her - moving to a new city and finding a new stylist is tough. I'm 33 years and I have naturally fine "corn-silk" baby hair, which is a dirty blond color. I used to keep it short (pixie) and bleach it myself (1996-2007). While Anna was giving me awesome short cuts for many years (which I got many many compliments on in public from strangers), she also consulted me about bleaching processes, and how to keep my hair healthy. She was never pushy about coloring it herself. She recommended products to me, but since I am mostly a very low maintenance hair kind of girl, I usually didn't buy any products while my hair was short. I studied art in school and fancy that I have an eye for design, so I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my hair. After Anna would finish a cut and hand me the mirror, she was very patient while I would inspect it inch by inch and ask for a few changes here and there. When I decided I wanted to grow out my hair (just because I needed a change), she consulted me through that process and helped me transition out of coloring my hair myself to using more sustainable coloring products that wouldn't weaken my fine hair as it grew out. I trust Anna with any hair recommendation. I bought a couple products from the Salon that Anna recommended and they always worked exactly as expected, but for the most part, Anna knows that I like to keep things simple, so we would discuss hair styles and maintenance techniques along those lines. From 2004-2010, I followed Anna to her current Salon - Beehive, in Wallingford, and I would follow her anywhere. I've been meaning to write this positive review of her for a long long time. Anna is a beautiful, fun, confident and smart woman and I always looked forward to talking to her and catching up on her latest adventures. After a mediocre cut here in my new city - Austin, I feel the loss of Anna's expertise tremendously. read more

As someone who has worked the front desk in several AVEDA salons over the years, I consider myself fairly well versed in the typical client experience. I recently moved to Seattle and was nervous about scheduling an appointment with a stylist I was unfamiliar with. The receptionist scheduled me with Meg for a haircut and I am so glad she did! Great conversation, good energy, and most importantly a stylist who listens and knows her stuff! I've had my fair share of bad haircuts, even in salons I've worked in. I am thrilled that was not the case at Beehive Salon. She listened to my input, mentioned her ideas, and the result was the perfect trim! A trim may sound simple, but I am well aware that on my hair it is no easy task and I appreciate the time she spent helping me get rid of the damage, while still preserving the overall length. In short, Meg was awesome and I would definitely recommend her to others, especially those who are growing out their hair! Thanks again! read more

Just moved back to Seattle and found Beehive via The Yelp. Got my hair cut and colored by Mitch and he was AWESOME. He really listened to what I was looking for (even if it was more esoteric than specific :)) from the color perspective, pulling in some great highlights while maintaining the color/theme that my previous stylist in LA had done. He also did a great job with the cut, cleaning it up while ensuring I kept as much of the length as possible. I also appreciated that he wasn't the "come back in 4-5 weeks to get touch ups" but more, "let's look at what you have going on with the holidays and figure out when getting your color done will give you the most bang for your buck." Super chill demeanor, knowledgeable, and authentic. I will definitely be back! read more

I want to highly rate Beehive. I'm sure my experience there was a fluke. The salon is clean, cute, and the customer service great. But I now have hair that is the opposite of what I went there to achieve and there is nothing that can be done about it. I'm not going to make arrangements to attend another appointment, nor am I going to be charged the $130 elsewhere to have it fixed. I have been having my hair highlighted/bleached bright, white, platinum blonde for 16 years. Today, my hair is light brunette/dishwater blonde. What? The stylist specifically took the time to conduct a thorough consultation. I can tell that she is attentive and talented. My love of salons and hair color has provided me with a lot of experience in effectively communicating with stylists. My white blonde hair had given me significant roots. The stylist fantastically rid my hair of the roots...but that was achieved by changing my overall hair color to match my roots! How does that happen? My profile page provides before and after pictures. It is astonishing that such a gigantic margin of confusion took place after we dedicated copious amounts of conversation to achieving the exact opposite aesthetic. I just can't believe that I paid to look a) worse than before and b) something I never even remotely hinted it or even faintly imagined. Afterwards, she clarified that, to her, the phrase "getting my roots done" meant dyeing my entire hair color to match my roots. Isn't the definition of getting one's roots done the exact opposite? When you want to get all-over hair color, you call it...all-over hair color. I am flummoxed. Further, we spent the most amount of time in the entire consultation discussing over and over and over again how my very favorite thing is having the brightest, whitest blonde pieces framing my face. I emphasized this multiple times, because it is what I care about most. And yet, absolutely nothing was done to achieve this. Afterwards the stylist explained that she thought I had meant that I had always loved doing that in the past but that I no longer wanted it. What? I know I must be a fluke case. Like I said, the stylist was very attentive and seemed talented. read more

I had to leave a review because this is such a sweet spot! Meg is an absolute gem and gave me a terrific cut! She listens, knows what will look best on you, and does exceptional work. I would recommend her and Beehive to everyone! read more

I bet they're good at hair, but the facial left much to be desired. Does my skin feel smoother? sure. But, I left with dried up exfoliant & mascara smudged all over and felt like she just whapped at my face for an hour. But like I said, I imagine they're great at hair as it was very busy and I saw a lot of beautiful cuts & colors. I really wanted a salon I can get on a regular rotation with for facials, unfortunately this one isn't going to make the cut. read more

Love Beehive! They've been taking care of me for years! I love being able to make appt in advance for months in advance. They always are upbeat, happy and always have a warm cup of tea if needed. Shannon you're the best! read more

Mitch asked me the question no other stylist had ever asked: "What don't I like about my hair?" Some folks, like myself, have no idea what they really want but certainly know what they don't. This was a breakthrough! Finally, someone to design my hair in a way that I wasn't bored with. He also impressed me with his knowledge of what to do with curly hair and how to prevent the inevitable NW frizzies. In the end, he made my hair what I'd always wanted it to be yet didn't know how to ask for. I only wished I lived in Seattle! Mitch is amazing and I highly recommend him! read more

lets get it straight - i'm a big Katie fan! she was recommended to me by a very dear friend about 3-4 yrs ago so i've been going to her for a long while now. for someone with really straight hair, its been very difficult to find the right stylist so i'm really lucky to have found her. best things i like about Katie are that she really listens to her clients (not a skill easily found in my experience), gives me a great haircut & is just so much fun to be with - i really look forward to the one hour with her every 5 weeks or so. other things i like about Beehive? cute place, very clean & love all the girls at the front desk, including Annie the manager. they're all very friendly & focused on taking good care of you. read more

Mitch is my go-to guy for hair cuts; he is personable, friendly, and talented. I trust him with my hair and have never been disappointed. All I have to do is give a general idea or guideline about what I want, and voila, he does it. I highly recommend him! read more

I had my first appt. with Anna today and she is fabulous! She was very nice, made me feel relaxed, and most importantly she communicated with me. She asked me what I wanted done and how I felt about certain styles and different cutting techniques. She LISTENED and didn't start snipping until we both agreed on how to cut my hair. She will give you her expert opinion, but she is very respectful and will cut your hair exactly how you want it. However, Anna knows what she's doing so if she suggests something you're not quite sure about, give it a go. She will make it work! Even though my appt. ran a bit over, she didn't hurry the styling process and I never felt like she was rushing to get me out of her chair. I believe she usually schedules 45 minutes for each appt, but if you have long hair like I do, you should ask the receptionist to block out at least an hour for your appt. Overall I was extremely happy with my visit to Beehive and even more thrilled with my stylist, Anna. Amazing stylist, lovely person. I have found "the one" for my hair. Go and see Anna. I promise that you will not be disappointed. She is worth every single penny! read more

I had a great experience at this salon, for a color correction and impromptu cut with Desiree. I had been grateful to get in the same day, but arrived feeling pretty down due to a previous color mishap and unsuccessful correction from another salon. Desiree made me feel better right away, with her positivity and creative ideas for adjusting the color with the least damage my hair. She was honest about what she'd be able to do, but reassured me that my hair would be getting back on track. Desiree remained positive and upbeat throughout the appointment, even though the process took about two hours, and required several steps. I left with my hair looking a lot better than when I went in, and I am already feeling excited about my next appointment, because I really like the highlights she suggested and I'd like more of them. Desiree's warmth and great listening skills make me feel comfortable enough to try more creative options in the future, since I've seen that she has the experience and attention to detail to achieve the desired outcome. Also, her personality is very pleasant, calm, and welcoming, which meant a lot when I was feeling sad about my hair. Thank you Desiree! read more

I visited Beehive salon for the first time last week of a recommendation of a friend. My hair is sort of difficult, and I'm particular about it, so visiting new salons can be a bit stressful for me. Everything about my experience put me at ease, particularly how my stylist, Jessica (TOTALLY recommend her, she's awesome) treated me. She took the time to listen to what I wanted for my hair, asked thoughtful questions, and was totally laid back and friendly. I thought for the quality of the salon and the cut, the price was extremely reasonable. I recommend this place to any of you Seattle area ladies- and men! read more

This salon is the best. I've been a client of Katie W. for almost a year and could not be more pleased. She's highly skilled, consistently good, and all around awesome. read more

Alright. One star is kind of rough, especially since Jale does such a wonderful job on my hair. However, since my partner's experience with a particular receptionist yesterday, we will never be going back there again. One of my birthday surprises was a visit to the Beehive salon where I could have anything done with my hair. However, it was no longer a surprise after I received a call confirming my appointment. My partner had specifically asked for them not to call my number. This was an honest mistake though, and I can understand how this is easily done. She called and talked to the manager, and they MORE than made up for the mistake by making my birthday experience unforgetable. That, I really appreciated. She also had made an appointment for herself a week later and looked forward to it for an entire month, because that was the soonest her stylist would be available. When making the reservation, she told the receptionist that the soonest that she could be there was 5:45. The receptionist said that even though the computer would not let her make a reservation for 5:45 for a cut/color, it would not be a problem because she would mark down that she would be a little late. My partner arrived at 5:45 and they would not take her because she was late, the receptionist was the same one who she talked to about the birthday mishap. My partner felt that the receptionist was rude, short and unsympathetic. When she got home, she was in tears. Even though (a) Jale does good work on my hair (thanks Jale) and (b) we've already paid for the living social groupon. We have no interest in ever going back. When an establishment is too cool to worry about clientelle relations, we will spend our money at an establishment that appreciates our business. read more

Beehive Salon is wonderful, hip and clean without being pretentious. I always see Faith for my haircuts and I have found her to be honest and very talented! read more

I got a great deal off Living Social that was 3 facials for $99. Each one I went to was better than the last, especially since they all lasted for a full 90 minutes. Loved it! read more

I have been seeing the same stylist for a couple of years and was hesitant to try someone new, but I was convinced by the Yelp reviews to try out Beehive. I made an appointment with Anna based on a review describing her patient approach and openness to feedback (which I tend to give :). I have what has been referred to as a "technical" haircut (short, stacked bob), and I have had it done both "wrong" and "right". I was so relieved. Anna did it right. I brought in a picture of myself with what I wanted, which she really appreciated. She said she used to keep picture files for all her clients! Now that is a type A tendency that I can get behind! Some of our conversation was on the topic of things that "can't be taught", and I think that Anna has innate feel for hair. She did a beautiful job and did it I left very happy. (A last word of advice - if you are a new client, invest in the $50 for $75 deal, it will be worth it.) read more

Michele Kay is a fabulous waxer. She is precise, quick, and lovely to talk with. She will go back in with tweezers after the waxing to get any stray hairs. The wax is coffee or chocolate or something and it actually smells great! I highly recommend a visit with Michele! read more

I've spent years going here to have my hair cut by Mitch Cunanan. I was sad to learn that he no longer works there, but I'm leaving a five star review here in honor of the wonderful cuts I received from him over the years! read more
