I have been needing a haircut for a long time and I have curly hair, so I researched areas that have good reviews with cutting curly hair and wanted to try this one. It was a bit farther from where I live but the good reviews convinced me. I am assuming the stylist's name is Tisha since I see no other name on the site. Never got to come in due to the Tisha's very unprofessional behavior and being paranoid that I am this Nicole person (see attached photos for context). I have no idea who this is. She claims I am trying to steal her "formula" for her spray? Acting like Mr.Krab's when I just be needing one haircut. Tisha cancelled our first appointment due to "being sick with covid". Second time around, she cancelled again very last minute due to "still being sick". I wanted to reschedule and give them one last chance before moving onto another salon. She responded by saying she will never see me for an appointment due to thinking I am this Nicole person. Again, I don't know who this is. I have not even met Tisha before but if this is how she acts, I am glad she revealed her true nature this early so I don't need to waste my time coming here. read more

For the past three years, I've been a dedicated client of Tisha at Bruja Hair Salon, making the journey from Capitol Hill to Phinney Ridge for my appointments. Initially, I was overjoyed with Tisha's work. She expressed empathy with my hair struggles and delivered exceptional service, transforming my thick hair into something manageable and beautiful. I was so impressed that I penned a glowing review earlier this year, expressing my gratitude for her skill and personal touch. These positive experiences make the recent events even more shocking and disappointing. However, my recent experience was highly disappointing and unprofessional, making me question her client commitment. I arrived two minutes earlier for my 11:30 AM appointment and texted her that I was outside and the door was locked. I only mentioned this to inform her that I was there. She responded defensively and claimed she had informed me about being five minutes late via text, but I had never received such a text. Instead of a warm greeting, she arrived and told me this would be the last time she would cut my hair. When I asked why, she said she was reducing her clientele and thought it was time I found another hairstylist. She said she'd return, and I sat in the waiting room. Then, abruptly, she told me she didn't like people "changing their names and faces." This was confusing and hurtful, given that I have always been a supportive and respectful client. Her sudden change of heart and unprofessional behavior wasted my time and disrupted my schedule. I told her I did not know what she was talking about and didn't do anything. I was confused. Her response was that she would not cut my hair today with a smile (passive-aggressive). As a domestic violence survivor, I have maintained anonymity online for my safety, which Tisha was aware of. In the past, she had expressed understanding and appreciation for my efforts to leave reviews under anonymous names. I tried to leave a review on Vagaro using a different email because my primary email was full. However, Vagaro did not recognize the new email since it wasn't linked to my account on Bruja Hair Salon's website. Despite this, Tisha had previously been appreciative of my attempts. Her sudden defensiveness and accusations felt like an unfair projection of her frustrations. Maybe it bothered her that I left anonymous reviews and could not leave them for Google and Vagaro. She should've expressed this before accepting the appointment, as it violates my safety measures and trust. I did leave a Yelp review that I went through earlier this year, for which Tisha expressed appreciation, but I am no longer seeing it here. Tisha's previous pattern of passive-aggressive and defensive behavior makes this situation even more disheartening. For instance, she would often make snide remarks about my hair being tangled after I had a knot during the pandemic once due to my severe depression. But afterward, I combed a few times daily since I hate to cause anyone distress. She scolded me about it and mumbled subliminal things I couldn't understand. I brushed this off since I rationalized that I was making her job harder with the knot. This time, her refusal to cut my hair because of who knows what ("changing names and faces"?), citing unfounded health concerns because I was wearing a mask, was the final straw regarding my respect for her and the salon. I wore a mask as a precaution due to public transportation, not because I was unwell. Her assumption that I am immunocompromised was baseless and offensive. Tisha's unprofessional behavior wasted my time, energy, and hard-earned money. The financial loss, coupled with the emotional distress, is a clear indication of her inability to handle client relationships with the professionalism and respect they deserve. I can no longer recommend Bruja Hair Salon to others and am glad to find a more emotionally mature and stable hair stylist. This experience has been a wake-up call, highlighting Tisha's inability to handle client relationships with the professionalism and respect they deserve. Her actions have lost her a loyal client and tarnished the salon's reputation in my eyes. I have attached screenshots of text messages based on my review. read more

It's been MANY years and I'm finally ready to share. As any wavy/curly dome knows - it's challenging to find an artist to trust these tresses to. But I finally did, and then promptly vowed not to tell anyone for fear I may have too much competition for a cut. I'm sorry Seattle, that was selfish. That only led to more curly Seattleites forsaken by the straight cuts. As my act of repentance, may I present to you the most wonderful hair tametress in the Pacific Northwest - Tisha Turner of Bruja Salon. Colors and cuts that fit your face. Tisha sculpts hair according to its intended shape. No fighting to get it line! Curls are cut to be natural and free and frame your glorious face. It's comforting to find someone who understands this head of hair (3-5 textures depending on the weather;) Another element to consider - these cuts can last months - a testament to Tisha vibing with that curl, even in it's future state! Tisha is empathetic and caring, like a trusted confidant guiding me to my best self. Tisha, thanks for the years of excellent service. read more

I struggled to find a hair stylist pre-pandemic and so when the pandemic hit - I just stopped trying. Three years later, not surprisingly, I looked like a sad shaggy dog. In a bad way. I don't even know how I found Bruja Salon - but I'm so grateful that I did! Letisha not only graced me with not having to make any decisions - but my hair just looks so good! Letisha is smart, extremely interesting, and clearly very talented in the hair department. I'm so happy to not have to look anymore - I've found my spot! Thank you, Letisha! read more

I always look forward to getting my haircut from Hilary. She has great style and is a good conversationalist as well. Always has the hot podcast, netflix, or fantasy football recommendations to share too. Her prices are very reasonable, and my cuts are always on point. She obviously she loves her job, as she is willing to go way out of her way to accomodate my schedule. She's the best! Thanks Hilary read more

Love Hillary at Bruja! Hillary moved here from another hair salon Olive in Ballard so I came too! She has been doing my hair for years, she is smart and funny and most importantly does a great job on my hair. She solved a weird flick problem I had since I was a teenager by shaving under my hair - that may seem trivial but it was huge for me! I highly recommend Hillary and Bruja. read more

Best curly haircut I've had in such a long time! I'm so happy with how it looks and feels. Thank you Tisha.

I followed the salon from Capitol Hill. Worth the travel. Love Deva cut. Great for curly hair.

Tisha is the best. And the hair yassss! Her design cuts looks great when she first does it, but the cool trick is as your hair grows, the cut grows with it so your hair looks fabulous in all the stages. read more

I just had my first cut with Tisha and I had such a great time! I usually don't feel heard when I get my hair cut, but she made a point of talking me through what she was going to do and why, and it turned out better than I imagined. She is a lovely person to chat with as well, which is an added plus :) read more
