    Right after the haircut
    Kristen U.

    I have been getting my hair cut by D'arcy for two years now and really feel like I am in great hands! She goes over all the scenarios your hair could experience when using coloring products! She tries to gives you exactly what you want, but also let's you know there are limits to what we can achieve. I love getting my hair done by D'arcy! If you don't know she and lancer just took ownership of the Emerson salon and the recent changes have been great!

    This is the before.

    Update: I have since been reimbursed by the salon and received a very nice Set of messages from the new owner in order to make that happen. This was very professional and I've added a third star. Got my hair trimmed and colored by Tammie on March 12, 2014. She was professional and on the quiet side - which I love. She mixed up a color for me that ended up being EXACTLY what I wanted. I walked out of Emerson with the cut and color of my dreams. The problem was, 98% of it was gone two weeks later!!! $140 for 2 weeks of what I was told was permanent color is unacceptable!! The salon has a cool vibe and the staff was awesome (except the male stylist who came in and changed the music without asking me - the only one in a chair at the time). Two and a half weeks after my color, I called and left a message for Tammie, but with no return phone call as of yet.

    I am very happy with the gang here and I have known Lancer and Rusty a few years now Lancer cuts my hair every 2 weeks weather I need it or not I like to keep it short and trim I also like the new look of the Salon it has a very comfortable feel to it ,and the colors on the walls are soothing, so if you live on the hill and don't want to pay LA prices, these guys also don't have there noses so high in the air that you can't afford a haircut, I'm sure you have been to a few Salons like that in Seattle

She has the best technique, if you want, she will help you push your boundaries or if you want to play it safe, she will give you a comfortable and stylish cut.

They told me there was an appointment at 10am already scheduled. I come here at 10:45am, it's closed. And now it is 11am. No one there. Kind of not cool. Was looking forward to donating my hair. I didn't receive an email or phone cancelation either. I confirmed my appointment in the email as well. My advice, if you can't show up, call me or email me. Also, it's especially not cool when it's a hair donation for a kid. I understand life happens, but I drove 1 hr for this. The least you can do is inform me of a cancelation. Also, just to add, I was also getting charged for the cut too. So the stylist was suppose to get paid/tipped.

I had not known that otherwise I would have rejected the appointment. My hair lifts easily, and Haley noted that. Despite that, she used too strong a developer and damaged my hair beyond belief. Not only that. She missed half of my head with toner. She noticed. And didn't tell me. She let me leave the salon with half of my head not toned. It's very noticeable from the back. I didn't see it at the appointment because she didn't show me the back - and now I know why. That's the worst of it, but she also didn't rinse my hair properly, so I still had product dried up and crusty in my hair. And she barely used any product while she blew out my hair on the highest heat, burning my scalp a couple of times and damaging my hair even more. And it was still a bit wet by the time I left. I'm usually pretty relaxed, so I didn't complain until after I went home and noticed that my head wasn't properly toned (which is also not that hard to do, I've done it myself during covid lockdowns - so it really is incredible that she messed up this bad and didn't say anything, hoping I wouldn't notice). Nothing about my experience with Haley was positive. Her work was incredibly sloppy, negligent, and dishonest. Edited to add (in response to Howie, the owner): You know the issue isn't with the toner itself - I did not see that she didn't do the back otherwise I obviously wouldn't have been "pleased". Again, you know this. I have a photo attached. You see how bad it is. I don't know why you're trying to act like that quality of service is okay. I didn't realize Red Chair's standards were so low, and I regret that I gave you all a shot :/ Also, I have to spend the holidays looking like this. So thanks for that.

I also appreciate that she held off on cutting too much off on layers at first, then let me decide if I wanted to take more off later. She is a stylist that I truly trust. Also, I asked her SO many questions about curly hair, products, my hair type etc. and she was very helpful and had great recommendations. As far as this service, it is so worth it and feels luxurious. Especially if you are new to curly hair, don't know how to style it, or have never had a curly cut before (this was my first one). You start with cutting your hair (dry of course), then washing, treatment, wet styling, diffusing, and then additional cutting as needed once it's dry and styled and you can see how everything lays. It was so relaxing to sit under the bowl diffuser (they give you free beverages too), and she walks you through exactly how she's wet styling your hair as you go. She did a great job and I highly recommend!

Also, the color is a-symmetrical, one side has more blonde, and the other, more red. Turned out so cool! The cut - usually, I think my hair looks better worn up, but since Amy has been cutting it, I love wearing it down. Finally, she is so friendly and a joy to chat with. Amy has been doing my hair for awhile, but she just started at Kitty Hawk. What a cool space, easy to find, easy free parking and the shop is really cute and clean! Get your buns in Amy's chair! :)
