After 3 years of dying my hair black I decided I wanted a change. Alexandra and Thomas were able to take it all the way from black to light ashy blonde and it's still so soft! It took over a year but totally worth it. read more

Chroma Salon - Color and long layers by Alexandra - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can't say enough good things about Vincent. When my stylist of 15 years became unavailable, I was nervous about trusting my long locks to someone new. Vincent gave me a partial foil, toner to fix the color that had become brassy and dry, and a deep conditioning treatment. My hair has never looked better! The color is beautiful and natural and my hair is glossy and soft. I've gotten so many compliments. Thank you Vincent! I'll be back for sure. read more

Chroma Salon - Wonderful cut and color by Vincent at Chroma in Queen Anne! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've always bought Aveda products from Chroma since they are a block from my house. The place always looks great and is located in a cute little craftsman house nestled between QA Books and El Diablo. Today, I was bummed because I couldn't get in to see my regular stylist at another salon. So, I called up Chroma, thinking they wouldn't have anything last minute. But they did! Leslie is my new go-to hair gal here on QA. I haven't been treated so such a wonderful massage and scalp massage in ages! She also is warm, friendly, and the conversation flowed effortlessly. I have Betty bangs and Leslie not only did them to perfection, she also created lovely waves and layers to give my hair an extra oomph! I left feeling wonderful. Actually, I felt pretty and I've been feeling super frumpy lately. The service I received from start to finish (including my initial phone call) was top notch! I am thrilled to have a go-to stylist on the hill. Thank you! read more

The moment you walk into the door everyone who works there is super friendly, kind and welcoming. This was my first appointment with this establishment and it won't be my last. I had been cutting my own hair for years and when I walked it my hair was shaggy, shapeless, damaged at the ends, and the pink dye was faded out. Alida was the stylist I was scheduled with and I couldn't be more lucky (even though all the stylists seemed like rockstars). She really took the time, effort, and creativity to give me a cut and color that I felt confident and chic in. This place is a bit on the spendy side, but honestly, I walked out feeling like a million bucks. Money well spent in my opinion. read more

Today I got a cut and a color from their newest stylist, Alida. She was absolutely amazing! I showed her my inspiration picture for the color which was a copper ombre and she totally nailed it! It looks exactly how I wanted it! For the cut I mostly wanted a trim but I was going back and forth about getting bangs. She suggested I do a swoop sort of bang so I can do a few different things with them. That was an excellent idea and my hair looks so great! I have already had so many compliments. Not only did she do a great job on my hair but she gave me the most relaxing hand massage. I would definitely reccomend going to see her for your next visit! read more

Love! My mother has seen Rachel for over a year and recommended I set an appointment while I was in town. Rachel got me in right away and did a fantastic job! Love how healthy and bouncy my hair is now. Plus, she is very reasonably priced! Can't forget to mention the head massage ! Thank you Rachel and I'll see you next time! read more

Alexandra is my stylist when I'm in Seattle! Chroma is in Queen Anne and surrounded by a ton of cool shops and eateries! I love to start my visit with a little breakfast and then head over to see Alexandra. The moment I walk in to the salon, the aroma of the Aveda products set the tone for a great visit. Alexandra gives me a couple of aromas to choose from so she can use that aroma in a nice scalp massage. After that she takes me over to have my hair shampooed and then back to have my haircut. She's fun to talk to as well. I get a great haircut that grows out well. read more

Never have I been to a salon where I am not facing the mirror 90% of the time. Clearly you aren't confident in what you are doing to the point that you didn't want me to see it. I'll definitely never go back here again. This was my worst hair salon experience I've ever had and all's I was getting was a wash, blow-dry, and style. Simple. NEVER AGAIN. read more

After years of going to a stylist who was not at an Aveda salon, I was looking to go back to an Aveda place. I am so happy I did! Rachel did an amazing job. She listened to what I wanted and absolutely delivered. I am now wishing I'd switched to her and Chroma Salon earlier. She managed to capture exactly what I was looking for in shape and in taking all of the weight out of my hair (I have a LOT of hair). The staff all seemed to be truly enjoying their work and kept the atmosphere fun and lighthearted. All others I noticed there seemed to leave very happy as well. Bonus: Complementary neck trims (for those of us with short styles). Can't wait till my next cut! read more

I cant say enough how amazing Eddie is! I came in, growing out a pixie that ended up looking like a mullet, and he fixed my hair and made it look AMAZING. I've had SO many compliments. I HIGHLY recommend Eddie. Im definitely going back to have him cut my hair as it grows out. read more

Being new to an area can be sometimes hard. Why ? Well firstly you don't know too many people and not knowing people implies less or no suggestions at all for areas of concern. I was searching for a good place for to get my brows and upper lips waxed. I had to do extensive research and that is how I landed at Chroma salon and spa. Chroma salon and spa is located on the Queen avenue N sandwiched between Le Rēve bakery and El Diablo coffee. Alexandra welcomed me and offered a beverage. She was pleasant and made the experience stress free. I have never had my eyebrows or upper lips waxed. I have been threading it. She ensured that I was comfortable. While billing me , she charged me only for the upper lips as I got only a section of my eyebrows waxed as opposed to the usual way of doing it. I paid 22 $ ! This is the first salon I have been to after arriving at Seattle and I do think they are pricey . Nevertheless I recommend the place for the cleanliness, the service and the quality of service. read more

I got my hair done by Alida in a lucky snag of an appointment the same day I called in. She helped me sculpt away 8 inches of hair into a beautiful Aline and did amazing work with my blonde balayage to boot! I recommended this salon in person to a friend less than 24 hours after getting it done because inquiries were pouring in from my Facebook. The cut and color was a huge hit with my family and friends, but most importantly, I LOVE IT!! Thank you Alida! read more

I've never met a hairstylist who genuinely care about customers like Vincent. Right the moment when I came in he asked if I get helped, later then he offered me magazine to read and some tea to drink. The color turns out beautifully and I got many compliments today how shiny my hair looks. Shout out to the most delightful hand massage as well :) With 20 years of experience, sure Vincent would not disappoint anyone. Will visit him again! read more

Alannah is my hair go to forever now! This is the 3rd time I've seen her, but my first for a color. She did a precision blunt bob on me several months ago, and it was perfection. I have had some not so great color experiences in the past, and just kept my hair natural for quite some time, but was ready for a subtle change. Alannah went over tons of pictures of what I like/didn't like, and discussed it in depth with me. She kept me in the loop during the whole process and made it so fun! I can say she absolutely she NAILED it! I was ready for a change and to lighten up for the summer, and this is everything I wanted and more. Balayage/baby lights blended to perfection and meticulously done! read more

Jennifer is SO wonderful. Not only is she super talented and knows the craft really well, she was so gentle with me because I have tender spot on my head. She gave me a beautiful cinnamon balayage and I could not stop looking at myself in the mirror. I get so many compliments, it is amazing. I have placed my full faith in her and would not go to any other person. read more

Dru is amazing!! 10 stars!! I have wild curly hair and have had my fair share of bad haircuts so I have learned to go to Aveda salons for better cuts and service. The wonderful scalp massage and hot tea are amazing at all the Aveda salons I have been to (and there have been many). But Chroma stands out as the best I've been to because of Dru! Dru always knows what to do with my hair even if I'm not sure what I'm looking for -- he is full of suggestions and inspiration photos. He truly wants to make you look and feel your best, which I always do walking out of the salon. Hands down the best hair stylist I've ever had, and coming from a complicated head of hair like me, that says a lot about his skill and eye. He's also fun to be around and chat with :) read more

Nicole is an extremely talented hair stylist and cutter. My hair has never looked so good! She's attentive, with a charming personality, and actively listening to what style and cut you are looking for. I have no need to go to anyone else now that I've found Nicole!! read more

Oh happy day! I had a great consult, cut and color with Rachel today. She listened to my "hair history", input, hopes and dreams for what I was looking for. Then she provided an assessment, offered some suggestions and we arrived at a plan. She updated my color and my style and I left feeling really good about myself and Chroma. The location is lovely, a small converted house that is light filled and cheerful. Right next to a great coffee shop if you need to catch a snack or drink beforehand or after and a lovely little book shop if you want to pick up something to read while you process. This location offers spa services and an aesthetician as well, though I haven't had a chance to use these services yet. I will definitely be back! read more

Alexandra did an amazing job fixing an unintentional ombré and Lola did a wonderful blow dry!

My first haircut in Seattle was with Thomas! I moved from CA where I had the same stylist for 15 years so I decided my hair was bad enough that I would take a chance. Thomas did a great job! He really took his time and cut less so we could go back in and adjust from there which I really appreciate. Thanks Thomas! I'll be back again! read more

I saw Vincent last week for balayage and a botanical hair treatment, and was super happy with my hair! I really enjoyed the whole experience too, Vincent really cares about getting to know you and make sure he is meeting all your needs. He is very nice person and respects what you want. I have also seen Thomas do my hair who is great too! He introduced me to the botanical treatment which is great! Thomas is fun to chat with and makes sure you get what you ask for! I really like the atmosphere of the Queen Anne location, it's quiet and relaxing! Will definitely keep coming back! read more

I had a great experience at Chroma Salon about a month ago! After having a bad hair color experience in another hair salon, I was desperate to find someone to correct the color before going to a trip in few days. I made an appointment with Vincent and he was fantastic!!! He listened to my concern and tried to help me to get a better color to my hair without damaging it more them it was damaged. He took time to think of what would be the best process for my hair and did an excellent job! read more

Lola is the absolute best stylist I have ever seen and that says a lot. I can't express how well she has maintained my permed, colored hair while I have been growing it out. It is not easy and she has cut it perfectly every time I have seen her. Words cannot express how much I appreciate what she has done for me and how happy I am. Chroma has been great and a big part of that has been because of Lola. Thank you so much! read more

Vincent is AMAZING. My hair needed some serious love after many years of box dye. Vincent worked his magic and I left with color/balayage that looked natural, shiny and vibrant. I asked to keep as much of my length as possible and Vincent completely respected that. He gave me a fabulous cut while keeping all of my length. He was very personable and took great care to ensure I walked out with exactly what I wanted while offering suggestions to make it even better. He was as excited as I was with the results. I will absolutely be going back to Chroma (and Vincent)! read more

Just moved to area and picked this spot because I needed a local Aveda salon. On a Friday afternoon, I was able to get a 9am appointment on a Saturday. That should have been a red flag. Felt like a Supercuts inside, elbow-to-elbow chairs and no pretty stuff; there was no place to put a purse or drink, so I declined the drink when offered and put my purse on the floor--as instructed by the person who worked on my hair, Melanie. I paid $148 plus an 18% tip for a haircut and root touch-up (for which I brought the formula from my old salon)--seems like too much to put my purse on the floor and get none of the Aveda extras. I used to pay just over $200 for the same service at my old non-tipping salon, but you got a hand and scalp massage with every haircut and a mini-facial with every color--and my stylist felt like my friend, so I never minded. I feel like I got ripped off at this place. Melanie seemed sort of tired and/or irritated by my presence as soon as I arrived. I think if I hadn't gone out of my way to initiate chair talk, she would have been fine silently getting my service over with. Melanie did not really give me any consultation, even though I wrote everything down and brought pictures. I have curly hair and tend to get a "Christmas tree" shape when my hair is not cut right. I told her that at the beginning and asked for a layered lob stacked in the back. She proceeded to give me a blunt cut which looked triangular. She was about to call the service done and I guess noticed my facial expression; so she asked if I wanted some short pieces (which we had previously talked about and I included in my notes and pictures). Of course I did. I tried to make light of the situation and joked, "less middle-aged HR director and more layers and movement." After that, I could tell she was barely holding in an eye-roll and just waiting to finish with me. Final haircut is not ugly, but it is not what I asked for and has no stacking in the back--just superficial layers on the sides; so I'll have to get a cut to fix it when it triangles-out in 3/4 weeks. I should have gone to Supercuts. Based on the person who took my reservation and how the other stylists were behaving, it does seem like Melanie might be the weakest link personnel-wise; but I won't be back. read more

I made a yelp specifically to hype the incredible stylists at this location. I am lucky because I live on Queen Anne so I don't have to make a long trek to the location but I would 100% make the trip from anywhere in Seattle just to come here. Alida specifically has given me my last three haircuts and I'll never go anywhere else. I'm in that stage of my life of trying to figure out what I want to look like in the world and Alida has been an enthusiastic and compassionate companion through the process. She listens thoughtfully to my ideas and mixes in her own extensive experience to make sure I walk out feeling really good about myself. They have always been incredible at accommodating my weird work schedule, fitting me in for trims around their own breaks. It means a lot when your stylist cares that you want to look good for a last minute night out with friends. One of the the really special things about the stylists here is how much time they put into continuing their education around their craft. I work nearby and watch these stylists come in on their off hours or put in looong days all because they are committed to being the best they can be at their job. And it shows. The quality of their work is well respected in the Queen Anne and greater seattle community. So whether you're looking for a clean up or a new 'do, I recommend making the trip to Chroma. All of the stylists here are amazing; you can't go wrong. Also... I hear there's some good Cuban coffee down the street if you need a pick-me-up while you wait! read more

Lola saved my hair and made my day. She was super kind and thoughtful and helped me decide what would work best for me, which I really appreciated because I didn't have a clear vision going in. Thank you! read more

I have always had a great experience​ with Chroma Stylists, but today's​ service was beyond exceptional. I saw Lola @ the Queen Anne location & I ADORE HER. I went in as a Stylist's worst nightmare... I had box dyed red hair... wanting a blonde balayage... and it gets worse, I CUT MY OWN BANGS just a few days before... and yes, it was as bad as you're imagining.... Lola was VERY transparent about EVERYTHING from reasonable​ expectations (given the box dye) and price, which is much appreciated... I left with results that SURPASSED my initial desired look and left with a GORGEOUS & healthy rose gold balayage.... I don't know how she did it, but she worked with what my hair would do after lifting the box color and complemented it with a color that suits me so much better. Lola isn't just ridiculously​ talented, but she went out of her way to make me feel like a queen the entire time I was there. It was so much more than a cut and color. I highly recommend​ her!!! You can trust her on every level! read more

I came to Alida with grown out years of abused platinum hair. She helped transition me to a nice color in the natural spectrum. Pampered me the whole way through and even tweaked it when I wasn't sure how I was feeling about some of it. I don't think I could have been in better hands for such a correction. Salon was clean and bright and the staff was fun and engaging. read more

Don't believe the reviews! This place will destroy your hair for years to come. I went in with virgin hair to get my hair silver/gray and came out with it green and blond spots! The manager had to fix the color to blond and gave me 2 tiny samples for damage control. When asked for more product to help get a comb through my hair (in order to make my appointment in 2 weeks to fix the color), I was told no. I had to contact the owners by email. The owners never returned my email but the manager came back, that I could come get the next size up from the samples and then promptly canceled the appointment she had made with me to color correct my hair. This place is the worst. I've never paid a salon so much money to ruin my hair! They ruined my hair and charged me! You would think a full refund for trashing someone's hair would be in order or at least bring it to the color that was requested. The owners and manager should be embarrassed to charge me for what they did to my hair! I've spent a ton of money trying to fix what they did, since then it has been breaking off and falling out in mass. You have been forwarned! Don't go here! read more

I had an appointment with Chelsea to touch up my balayage (my hair is naturally very dark and has some ashy blonde to it). I asked to bring the ashy blonde up a little bit but not close to my root. The appointment ended with me having essentially yellow bleached streaks coming from the root of my hair, and when in the sun there is orange randomly throughout. Yesterday, I had another appointment with Jennifer to try to save my color. I showed her pictures of how I like it and consulted for 15 minutes on what I need to be fixed. I said I don't like the blonde at my root and want an overall darker tone to my hair. She said she was going to keep some light pieces in front but overall can blend my hair. That appointment ended with even more bleached hair and huge chunks of orange/yellow blonde framing my face. I am usually not too picky and don't want to hurt their business but my hair is the worse it has ever looked. I expressed my concerns in the nicest way possible and asked for a refund given that I now have to go to another salon and pay full price. They are unwilling to refund me due to a strict policy. I'm writing this review in hopes of saving someone else from this experience. read more

Absolutely great place. I feel no pressure coming in, everyone is friendly. And my hair is very difficult so it feels refreshing to have a barber who could figure out how to do it right. Kit takes over and makes sure it's done right every time. Honestly, I followed Kit to this Salon because he has become the only person I trust to cut my hair, and I'm glad he came here because I really like this place! read more

I stalked Alida from her prior salon to Chroma. These past two years my hair and her have been through quite a bit. She has coached my stubborn bangs while they transitioned back to my good side and dared to add some color back into my incredibly unimpressive hair. She makes sure to listen to my wants and needs but luckily suggests ideas herself because quite frankly, she is a power-stylist and knows what's best. And I am an accountant that definitely does not. But anyway, wow, do I look good. She performed some serious balayage on my hair this past Saturday. It looked so amazing I got distracted by my own reflection in the mirror that I hit my head on a wall corner on my way out. I sustained no serious injuries but I had a solid red mark on my forehead that has now turned itself into a bruise. When was the last time your hair appointment was so good you inflicted pain upon yourself? If you can't answer that question you should probably move on from your current stylist and head to Chroma to see Alida. Or any of the stylists really. Alida is pretty much my one and only but I watch the rest of them perform magic on quite a few Saturdays. As an added bonus, they all politely listen to my nonstop chatter and even pretend to laugh at my incredibly uncomfortable jokes. 11/10 will never stop attending Chroma Salon to hang out with the most personable hair artisans! read more

This was the first time I visited Chroma Salon for a hair cut. I got an appointment with Leslie.

This review is exclusively to warn you against having LUIS cut your hair. I like Luis as a person, and was long ago happy with his cut and styling. I stopped going to him a year ago as he cut my hair ever so short, it took me 8 weeks to recover. My mistake, I thought I would trust him one more time. I was so BUTCHERED, in length, style, AND he thinned half my hair off. And, it's a horrible cut! I've cancelled my holiday plans, yet still have to show up for work. It will take months to recover, especially because it is so thin, and much thinner on one side. read more

I had my first haircut from Louis today and I had a great experience in every way. He is skilled and very experienced at what he does: my hair looks fabulous. I have long hair and he did not cut too much length off. The salon has a pleasant atmosphere, Aveda products (excellent quality line of product for hair, skin, color, face) and a polite receptionist. I will definitely be a returning client of Louis at Chroma on Queen Anne. read more

I've been seeing Leslie since she was at the Chroma location downtown, and consider myself lucky to have found her! She is the second stylist I've seen since moving to Seattle, and I've found my stylist for life assuming neither of us leave. I had a horrible cut, worst of my life, set me back by over a year cut, before I met Leslie. I'm so thankful to my friend/coworker who recommended Chroma! (Who is a fashion and photography stylist). Queen Anne is an awesome neighborhood, but it's between a 20-30 minute drive for me, as downtown is really close. Leslie is so great that even though I do not like driving and am spoiled enough to rarely need to drive more than 5-10 minutes for anything, I make that drive for Leslie. I even braved Seattle rush hour for the first time in the almost 2 years I lived here to see her, and I have successfully planed my entire adult life around not hitting rush hour traffic. I have thick, wavy to curly, messy, impossible, unmanageable hair that many stylist have both admired and failed to manage. Leslie is a master. She does an amazing job with my hair. She knows I like as low maintenance as I can get with my hair type, and I trust her to just do what she wants keeping that in mind. It's always perfect, and better than I can ever come up with. In addition to being a phenomenal stylist, she's a pretty amazing person. I always feel like I'm visiting a friend and wish I saw her more than every 3 months! I love talking to her, and admire a lot of her accomplishments and confidence. Go visit Leslie. You'll walk out with amazing hair, and have spent an hour with an amazing person. read more
