Decided to try this place out after a few bad experiences in other salons in seattle. Went in for a curly haircut. The salon has a very quirky decor, definitely one of a kind. Scott was my stylist, he was super nice and friendly, listened to me about what cut I needed and suggested me as well. My cut was good! Overall I had a great experience. The staff was great and they even had some good products for sale in the front. Would recommend this salon ‍. read more

I want to commend my stylist Hannah on the BEST haircut I have ever had in my LIFE! she removed the dead weight from my curls and brought them to life. Now for days, with just a little leave in conditioner at the end of a shower, my curls are defined and my hair does not turn into a tangled, frizzy mess. All air dry friendly! This has changed my life read more

I've been a client of Alexis (the owner) for almost 10 years now. She is wonderful but currently not taking new clients and her appointments fill up quickly. Sadly I had to reschedule our last appt due to the snow we had. I'm now a busy mom of 2 littles and needed a refresh ASAP! Thankfully I was able to get on Jennifer's schedule and had the pleasure of seeing her for the first time today. She was so nice to chat with and incredibly supportive as I had to bring my infant with me. My mom was there to help but my poor babe was not having it and needed me. Jennifer and the staff were so kind and compassionate. She gave me a nice glossy color refresh, cut, and blowout in an hour all while nursing my baby in between! It's so hard for moms to get time for themselves. I love the inclusive and supportive environment Coven brings to all their clients. Love that I know I'm in good hands and can schedule with flexibility in mind to see another stylist at Coven when I can't see Alexis. Go see Jennifer if you need a little or big refresh! Support Coven, a badass BIPOC woman owned salon! read more

I've been getting my hair cut here for years, because they really know how to work with curly hair, and are really queer/queer friendly. I love all the people here, from the people working the front desk to my stylist. read more

I'm in love with this place! The energy here is calming and healing. The salon offers a variety of hair treatments, and provides an unparalleled support for women of all walks of life. Online there is a full list of hair stylists, and all of them work well with curly hairstyles. They also offer unique local art, Wiccan supplies, to an on-site fortune teller. My stylist listened to all of my concerns, and was easy to communicate with. She was able to transform my thin lifeless boxed haired disaster, into a well framed beautiful art work. Thank you! read more

Very disappointed with the customer service of this place. I've been a client for 2 years and this week I had to cancel my appointment on the day of my appointment due that I tested positive with COVID and I'm 8 months pregnant which really made me sicker. When I called they said they were going to still charge the 100% service fee. I asked to speak to the manager, and when she called 8 hours later, she laughed at me when I said I was really sick. She even told me that she doesn't have to explain any further regarding the cancellation policy they have. Her name was Alexis and was so rude pretending that she really cared about my situation. I'm never coming back to a place who only cares about money and treat customers SO disrespectful. If they treat customers like this I can only imagine how they treat their employees. read more

They say that the measure of genuine success is when a leader builds a team that's stronger than the leader themselves. Alexis has done just that with Coven and it's such a beautiful thing to watch. After almost exclusively having Alexis cut my hair for almost a decade, I took a brave chance with several of the other stylists at the salon. It's been such a refreshing experience and my hair looks better than it ever has! Love you forever, Coven! Thanks for keeping me cute for all these years! read more

Coven Salon - This is what their cuts look like after sleeping in a tent for several days. I can't make this up. - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been going to Lydia since 2021. She is amazing!!! She is very gently when she works. Especially when it comes to drying hair. I have thick hair, and a lot so I'm sure it not easy for the stylist to stand there drying it. She was so gentle and wasn't yanking my head. I could finally leave the salon without a sore neck. She truly is so kind and great to work with. I've gotten my hair colored and cut many times with her and have been so happy everytime. I'm counting down the days to my next appointment! read more

Such a wonderful experience here! It was my first visit and I received a great cut from Sara. I have long curly hair and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Trim and shaping to keep it healthy and look good (I think) with minimal product and air dry. The salon just feels good. The receptionist was warm and welcoming and the other stylists were friendly. I am so happy to have found my salon in Seattle! Ooooh, and I booked a tarot reading too. Couldn't be more excited to spend more time there. read more

Coven Salon - Curly hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I spent so much time and money on stylists who don't know middle eastern thick and dense hair and give me cuts that make no practical sense. until I discovered Coven 7 years ago and specifically Dez Abdullah 5 years ago. Dez gets it. She's amazingly skilled, she's got great taste in style and I can just trust her to give me beautiful and practical haircuts. Not everyone can spend hours of their week on beauty and Dez is the first stylist that actually pays attention to that concept and makes beauty workable for me. Dez has introduced products to me that actually work for my thick hair. 5 stars experience every time; highly recommend Coven and specially Dez - she is magical. read more

Coven Salon - My last haircut. So much beautiful layering that I'm growing out my hair I didn't need a visit for months. Thank you Dez - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

IF YOU ARE A CURLY GIRLIE, RUN TO COVEN IMMEDIATELY! Thank you so much to Alexis for the introduction, and an even bigger thank you to Dez for taking such great care of me. I felt SO gorgeous leaving the salon, I had to hold back tears. I looked for my reflection in every window on the way home. Got rave reviews from my coworkers and friends, and my hair has never felt healthier. Literally a Leo's dream come true, thank you so much! read more

I went to this salon for the first time yesterday and I honestly cannot say enough good things about it. As a curly girl with type 4 textured hair, it was a big struggle to find a salon that I felt confident that would know how to cut my hair. And I am so happy I went with coven. The salon itself is very aesthetic and cute, and all the employees that I interacted with were lovely. Check-in during COVID can be a hassle at many places, but I found coven's process really straightforward. I also felt very safe since everyone was masked, they had several sanitizing stations, and everyone was seated at comfortable distances. I booked my appointment with Dez, and I will definitely be back. She listened to what I wanted my hair to look like and gave me exactly what I described! Also she was very knowledgeable about kinky coily hair and had so much great advice. And as someone somewhat newly natural, I really found that invaluable. She was also very gentle with my curls during the detangling process, which was great since I tend to be more "tender" headed. My hair was pretty shrunken when I left the salon which made me worry about what it would look like going forward (since the cut includes a wash and style aka wash and go). But the next day I gave my head a little bit of a fluff and I absolutely love it. I honestly can't say enough good things about this salon. And I can't wait to go back :) read more

Coven Salon - After - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Emily did a great job on my very thick, fine curly hair ! I am grateful to have found her!

I went to Coven Salon and had my hair cut and styled by Dinnie Danger. It was a lovely experience and I love my new hair! Dinnie was very pleasant to work with, they have a lovely demeanor and made just they right amount of conversation. They took the time to get a really clear idea of what I wanted. They also gave me tips on styling at home, and answered all my questions thoroughly without speaking down to me. While I only saw Dinnie, all of the people I saw finishing up with the other stylists looked absolutely fabulous! I would highly recommend Coven Salon and Dinnie Danger. read more

Coven? More like LOVE-IN this place! Emily took my look from "Carry on my wayward bun" to "this gal is ready for fun". I can't say enough about how well we "gel"together, along with the entire Coven team who is kind and accommodating throughout the "process". No low lights to mention (although they do those too). My hair-I-scope told me to try Coven and I'm so happy I obliged. read more

Luci did my hair today and it was excellent, she made sure to communicate with me what i wanted cut and color wise. She took her time and was very thorough in blending the back of my hair which was really nice! The color came out lovely! Thanks Luci read more

I had high hopes coming in that this would be my new go-to salon, but ultimately the haircut turned out kind of lopsided. This picture was taken a day or two after my haircut, and it's pretty clear that it's longer on the right side than the left. After growing out, it's still noticeable, especially in photos where my hair is in front of my shoulders on both sides. Especially given the relatively high prices, this just didn't meet the mark for me. On the positive side, everyone working there was very friendly, and they have good covid safety precautions in place. read more

You didn't ask for another update but you're getting one! I love Coven Salon more than ever. Alexis is a pure genius who I'm convinced can do anything - I'm adding some photos to illustrate that for you. Also: Coven has moved to a new, bigger location and has added some lovely new staff members at the desk and at the stations! As always everyone here is kind and welcoming. Again, if you have curly hair: this is your salon! If you want fun, colorful, beautiful hair: this is your salon! If you want your stylists to be your friends: this is it! Look no further. read more

I decided it was time to try bangs. Nephyrtt took my 2c coarse, frizzy pandemic-hair and made it look cute. She may be a magician, and she's also a sweet person. Staff was great, space was clean and distancing was appropriate. Will be back, thanks! read more

Making an appointment is easy and any of these three accomplished stylists (formerly at VAIN) will not disappoint! I'm particularly excited for curly hair specialist Emily Hartl to make some magic happen! Will post pictures and update this review on Wednesday! Although I haven't been to this new salon yet I have received excellent color from Jenny Slay & a variety of rad haircuts from Emily Hartl in the past. The Montlake location on 24th is super close for me.... VAIN was too far away. read more

Wish I could leave negative stars. I just got off the phone with Dez. She was very rude when I was trying to explain my bad experience I had at the salon. She was short with me and cut me off. She is a terrible example of customer service. I was a paying customer with real concerns and she basically dismissed me saying there is nothing she could do. I was also supposed to get a call back about the situation but didn't hear a thing from them. & I don't appreciate you saying "its for the best you don't come back if our prices are not in your budget" I have money to spend that doesn't mean I want to be ripped off. She over charged me and then didn't own up to it, making me feel like I can't afford the service. She instead said I'm going to charge you for something else. I'm doing very well thank you! Don't need you belittling me more than you already have. read more

Best haircut for my curly hair self that I have ever had! I wish I was located near them as this is my choice place to get my hair done. Alexis did my hair and she is a curly hair pro, I've never had anyone that could attack my curls with the expertise and confidence that she had. She does amazing work! Do call ahead because they are popular from what I can tell, didn't seem like a place you can just walk in without an appointment. Check them out!!! read more

Alexis is magical! She's my hair soulmate and nails it every single time. I've been a client of hers for over a decade and since living in Pierce County, it's worth the travel to see her. As someone with thick and curly hair, it's important to have someone who knows what they're doing, and to be efficient as well. She employs other amazing talents too! read more

Highly recommended! Lydia is an excellent stylist. During the cut and styling, she explained each step. I left with defined, soft, and fluffy waves that I can style with versatility at home. Bustling and clean, the salon has a friendly atmosphere with professional and helpful front desk staff. read more

I got an amazing haircut from Sara. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted and she worked with me to decide on a cut that would be versatile and easy to maintain for my wavy/curly hair. This is hands down the best haircut I've ever had and I will definitely be returning read more

I won a gift certificate for this Salon at a planned parenthood fundraiser and since I came here to get it to use, I'm coming back regularly. Sara cuts, shaves, and colors my hair, we have nice conversations and I, as a person that doesn't like going to any salon in general, don't have nightmares coming here. Everybody here is super friendly and I really like the energy this place has with lots of talented and powerful women. In the summertime, you can sit outside in the sun to wait/let the color work/... and parking is doable in this neighborhood (plus there is a bus stop right in front). read more

Reniel just rocked my hair! This was my first time at Coven, and I'm always nervous about a new curl stylist, but I had ZERO reason to worry. He took his time to be sure my color and cut were exactly what I hoped for, and he treated my hair so well! I'm just ecstatic. Everyone at the salon was genuinely kind and fun. I will be sending anyone with curly hair to this salon! read more

As many have said before, this is the place to go if you have curly hair. Lydia completely revived my 3b curls with a layered cut. She listened when I talked about my routine and not only gave me a cut that will work with what I have time for on a daily basis, but also gave me some great tips for putting in product and combing. The salon is bright, calm, and happy, exactly the vibe to help you feel good. read more

I went there for the first time today and had Sarah taking care of me. She took the time to chat and understand how I wanted my haircut to be like and how I style and how I take care of my hair. She started cutting my hair wet and finished cutting it dry. I have to say it's one of the best haircuts I've gotten, if not the best one! I will be definitely coming back for her! read more

Coven Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can here based on the recommendation of friend who was recommended by a friend and another friend and so on. Word of mouth definitely delivered when I found Dez. I recently discovered I had curly/wavy hair and had a huge transition from long to short hair. By the time I found Dez, my hair had an undercut and had been through a lot of bleach. It was in a sad state but Dez and the rest of the team were so kind and helped transform my hair. Now it is luxuriously soft and so much healthier. The salon itself is cute and boho with a very welcoming vibe. Parking is relatively easy as well. read more

I love my hair and it takes a lot for me to put it the hands of someone else. But Alexis is that someone. I have been devoted to her for years and she has given me bangs, bobs, blonde, balayage... but mostly she has tamed and enhanced my out of control curls. When I know what I want she executes it perfectly and when I don't know she has a vision. I try to send as many people as I can to the ladies of Coven because they can do anything. No matter what stylist you get, you'll walk out looking great with a style you can achieve at home. Pay them a visit and you'll love your hair. (also, they get bonus points for their back patio, cute graphic tee coverups, and complimentary beverages) read more

Jenna is AMAZING. I've spent years trying out different salons, stylists, and colors. I always struggled to find a stylist who understood my vision, and had the skill to make it happen. I've never had a bad color, but none of the colors I tried seemed to really pop - they were all blended in so carefully that you'd hardly know it was there. Based off of a friend's recommendation, I made an appointment to see Jenna. From the second I walked in, it was a great experience. The salon has a very laid-back vibe and an open atmosphere. All of the girls were welcoming (and hilarious). After offering me beer or champagne, Jenna dove in, asking detailed questions about my preferences, hair color history, and more. She clearly knew what she was doing, and discussed realistic expectations for my hair. From start to finish, it was a fun, positive experience. I went from a kind of bleh golden brown to rose gold in no time. Thanks Jenna! read more

I've been seeing Dez for over a year and I look forward to my visits! Dez facilitates great conversations and is always upbeat and genuine. She has found a style that I love and is attentive to every wonky curl. Misha and Coven's other stylists are lovely as well, I feel welcomed and cared for as soon as I walk in! read more

I love Coven and recommend it to anyone I know with curly/wavy hair. My hair was in desperate need of some TLC and Dez whipped it into shape. I was very impressed by her knowledge and skill to take my really long/thick hair to a mid-length shag with a ton of texture. My waves are very happy! read more

I am somewhat new to this salon. I have been to four appointments. I think that you wouldn't go wrong with any of the stylists here. They all seem to have their own little niche. I started with Alexis. She was great. I had to reschedule an appointment, and I couldn't get in with Alexis when I needed to as she books out far ahead. I made an appointment with one of their newer stylists, Ayla. Ayla is awesome. She can definitely cut, color and style my curly hair. What I really love though is how she does color. You know when a stylist just gets what you want even though you might not know how to perfectly articulate your hair desires? That is Ayla. I feel very comfortable in her chair. I wanted something fun but still work appropriate. She gave my just the overall blonde-ish color I wanted and a splash of different shades of pink/purple. She also knows how to change things up a little if you don't want to completely change your hair color. I also loved my blow out since I never do it myself. The time before she styled my hair curly. Someone stopped me on the street after the appointment and told me I have perfect curls. I never spend the time to make my curls look that nice on my own. The staff also tries to make sure you are fairly pampered when you are there. They have shirts to change into to protect your clothing. They offer drinks. They have a cute little outdoor area to wait in while your hair processes. If you don't love everything about your hair even if something changes after a few weeks you can come back in and they will fix it. The products sold here are Bumble and Bumble. I can't remember which line/s of colors they use, but I know they have veggie dyes. The price is about on par with most Seattle area studios. If you want a super cheap cut, this might not be the place for you. There is some variation on cost amongst the stylists though. I also usually find street parking fairly easily. Just give yourself a little extra time in case it is a busier day. read more

Coven Salon - Splash of pink. :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am so HAPPY - I had heard about the fantastic stylists at Coven for awhile, and after moving back to the Seattle Area and away from a much loved stylist in Atlanta, I knew I had to give these ladies a try. A couple months ago I was desperate for a cut before heading off to a wedding, and so I took the first available appointment. Lucky for me - Aylah was open. She did a fabulous job with my hair, which was long overdue, wavy/curly/straight and is multi textured due to my allowing my natural highlights to shine (i.e. I have graying hair). At that time I talked to her about my crazy idea of perhaps adding some 'fun' color to the tips of my hair. Fast forward to today - I am in LOVE with my new hair. I didn't even know what to book since I don't usually color my hair - but the woman at the front desk, penciled me in and assured me they could do whatever it would take. Aylah did an amazing job of listening to what I was thinking about, adding some tasteful ideas and executing a killer purple veggie ombre to my natural silver streaks! Did I mention, I love it???? The ladies at this salon are so welcoming and wonderful, a very comfortable place to hang out and real skilled artists work here. I recommend Coven wholeheartedly and especially Aylah, who is a jewel. read more

If you have curly hair (wavy-tight curls) and live in seattle and aren't coming here, you're doing it wrong! After moving to seattle in March, I found myself in the common curly-hair-folk anxiety of needing to find a new hair dresser after leaving my beloved one in rhode island. I came across Coven and randomly booked an appointment with Luci, and will never not see her now! Luci spends her time chatting with you to find out exactly the style you're going for, and carefully explains everything as she's doing this (as someone with anxiety about haircuts, this is greatly appreciated). Not only is Luci a joy to spend multiple hours in the chair with, she is incredibly talented with cutting curl patterns and mixing beautiful colors with depth The best compliment I can give? I know I will never walk out of this salon and look in my car mirror and be disheartened by my hair cut If you're looking for a talented crew who can tackle any curl in a fun and comfortable environment, this is your place! read more

I have had curly hair my entire life and have struggled to find a salon that embraces and gets the needs of curly peeps. I saw the stellar reviews for Coven on Yelp a few months ago and made an appointment to see Luci. From the moment I entered Coven I was surrounded with great vibes and the kind of energy I'd been craving- warm, kind and groovy. Luci has exceptional communication skills and asked me thoughtful questions to ensure that she gave me the cut I wanted. I have to say it's the best curly haircut I've ever received and I am thrilled! Coven is a rare find, if you have curly / mixed hair this is THE place to go in Seattle. read more

I walked out looking worse than when I walked in. I have curly hair and was assured many time that they are good with curly hair. Yet, this was once again another overconfident person that has actually zero clue how to cut curly hair. She cut it way to short because she didn't take into account the hair shrinking when it dries. I thought maybe she let it dry badly and once I styled it myself it would look good. Unfortunately it's been weeks and not once have my curls looked remotely nice because the hair had been cut in such a weird shape. Please do not ever go here if you have curly hair. It is not worth the pricey cost at all, which is quite frankly disappointing. read more

This was my first time going to Coven and I will definitely be going back! B welcomed me from the moment I walked in with such warmth, enthusiasm, and kindness that I knew I wasn't just in a salon but a really beautiful community space. I then got a phenomenal curly haircut from Scott who was INCREDIBLE - so knowledgeable about hair, really listened and sought to understand what I was looking for, took his time, checked in every step of the way, was an absolute joy to talk to, and gave me the best curly hair cut I've ever had. Thank you Scott, B, and Coven! read more
