Love Larisa at Robert Leonard Salon. She is so thorough and talented. She has taken me from red, to blonde, back to red, to almost brown and FINALLY back blonde with a total lack of judgement for my never ending hair color changes and further more, with minimal damage to my very fine hair. Whatever color and cut I chose, my hair always looks great. Plus she's wonderful to talk to. I'm moving out of Seattle and will miss my hair "therapy"appointments a lot read more

Moderate service, lack of timeliness. I've come back to the salon a few times and always end up waiting 15-20 minutes. Don't get me wrong everyone is so so friendly here and offer you drinks and stuff but it doesn't justify the lack of understanding of hair. I expect to leave with my hair done after 5-6 hours, but I had two experiences where the color wasn't done correctly and I had to come back for adjustments. One of the last visits here I had asked for semi permanent color but was told after the fact that they had used permanent dye. I had to go to another salon to color correct my hair. Maybe it's a lack of understanding of my hair type... the cost of the services say that they should be more professional. I'm not sure if things have changed since my visit but the salon does charge extra to dry + style hair. Yes, to dry your hair. read more

What a wonderful salon experience! I booked with Cesar and he did an amazing job with my hair! I have long asian hair and it's always hard for me to find a stylist that can do it justice so I was really happy with my outcome this past visit! I ended up getting a butterfly cut which was perfect for more volume and layers. Cesar's assistant Taro was also really great and did my hair wash and dry service before the cut. Both of them had such warm and welcoming personalities and made the overall experience really pleasant! I also got Cesar's hair mask, part of the Caro hair product line! Cesar is very knowledgeable about hair and makes wonderful recommendations on how to better your overall look! read more

Robert Leonard - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a great experience here. It's a clean, bright and big higher end salon right in downtown Seattle. I am here in Seattle for a month and it was so easy to walk to and from here from lower First Hill. It's just past the Westin and across from the Amazon spheres. Expect to pay city salon prices. I was seen by a Maddie who was easy going and did a great job. All in all, a great experience! read more

I had my color done by Ezra, and I'm so glad I just moved to Seattle just so Ezra can do my hair. The color is on-point, everything I dreamed my grey-blending blonde could be. And it's silky and not-over processed. read more

Robert Leonard - Cute hair, cute dog. Thanks, Ezra! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's really perfection at this salon. I've been to 10+ salons in the Washington area. Stressed and not able to find the perfect stylist until I came here. I was paired with Cesar Caro and I when to say it was amazing. Cesar listened to all of my concerns about my current hair and was able to give me what I truly desired deep down. Cesar's Salon is also very brightly lit so you can see the results in the best lighting. His skills and talent is unmatched and after searching I have finally found my life long stylist. Very easy to find this location and also easy parking. It's also not one of those small seattle salons where you feel super cluster phobic there is so much room to breath which I love. The salon is decorated beautifully with plants! :) read more

They have good service and vibe, with a nice waiting area and easy to locate when walking by.

Fantastic blow out and practically next door to the Westin Seattle. The salon is light bright and clean. My stylist Pauline was just what I wanted. I will be back! read more

Robert Leonard - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Haircut was alright but not worth the three-figure price for a dry cut and going out of my way to fight SLU traffic to get here. I tried this place because someone had recommended it as a place that knows how to handle Asian hair and I was disappointed to find that the person I got most certainly was not experienced with thick Asian hair. They did a decent enough job but clearly were not familiar with how to cut the (very common) style of thick long straight hair I had and, despite the cut taking nearly an hour, I can only describe the results as mediocre. Would've been reasonably content with it for a $35 haircut but not for a $120+ dry cut. read more

This has been my go-to spot for the last 3 years and I've never been disappointed. They usually have same day appointments that can easily be scheduled online. With women's cuts starting at $60 (depending on who you're seeing) I think it's also quite reasonably priced. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised by my experience yesterday. I saw Lilian for a haircut, and she went above and beyond. I have not had a cut in 6+ months, and my hair was in sad shape when I walked in. She got rid of the dead weight, framed my face, and after the blow out she even gave me some soft curls. Lilian did a beautiful job and I will absolutely be back to see her again. Bonus: the salon is lovely. They offer coffee, tea, and wine, AND they have a great selection of books on art, architecture, fashion, and beauty. read more

So many fantastic experts at this salon. From the scalp consultation with Micah, every wave and curl cut to perfection by Lizzy, and the always trendy and complimentary colors from Ezra. I love this salon so much - very classy, personalized experience every time with a friendly, professional staff all around. read more

Robert Leonard - Color by Ezra, cut is 4 months old from Lizzy. My hair in its natural, day-to-day state. - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've never colored my hair before so when I started looking into it, I found Elyse's Instagram and decided to give it a shot. I have a lot of hair so my appointment took 6 hours for a full balayage. You could tell that the stylists here take pride in their work! I wanted to try something new but didn't expect to love the results as much as I do! I'm usually hesitant to let stylists I don't know (who also aren't Asian) handle my thick Asian hair but Elyse was so wonderful and patient. Her Instagram gave me a lot of confidence that she knew what she was doing and had experience working with many different types of hair. Will definitely be back! read more

I admit it, I'm one of those folks who thought they would get creative with their own hair at home and color it myself. After all, how hard could it really be to get ashy brown from a semi permanent fire engine red, right? Lol Yeah so I showed up at Robert Leonard doing the walk of shame with my hoodie pulled up and sunglasses on. I was so embarrassed - my hair was TRASHED! Snapping off, brittle, dry, melted. But here's where things get real good - I'm so lucky to have been set up with Micah Kawamoto. He is the SH*T! He educated me on proper hair care and he HOOKED ME UP with a beautiful ashy brown. He has a great personality and is a lot of fun to talk to as well. We made a plan taking baby steps to work towards my hair goals. I feel confident that I'll be there at the next visit! Once Micah Kawamoto finished my color, he handed me over to Diny Ruiz for the hair cut. I have fine hair and I've been trying to grow it out from a very short blunt bob. It was just below my shoulders at the time. I explained to him that I wanted to keep as much length as possible yet at the same time, wanted my hair to look and feel healthy. He managed to salvage most of my hair only taking off maybe an inch and it looked shiny, healthy and was tangle free. Overall, my expectations were far beyond exceeded. I left with an extra giddy up in my step and feeling great. No more hoodie for this girl! Oh and, they serve beverages and the hospitality at this salon is unreal. Micah is my hairstylist from here on out and has my loyalty. I HIGHLY recommended these guys and this salon. 5 star recommendation for sure! read more

THANK YOU to Elyse for morphing my hair into a summer's dream (partial balayage and cut)!! My first time here and I was treated like a rockstar from the moment I stepped inside, from the offered coffee/tea to the scalp massage! I loved every minute and I already can't wait to see what Elyse can do next. Highly recommend! read more

For the better part of the past decade I have seen Kaio Wilker for incredible Brazilian blowouts, color, balayage, and cuts. He is a master colorist and hair designer and I've never left his seat less than 100% happy and blown away by how he transformed my hair. He is talented, personal, punctual, organized, and strives for perfection. I consider myself lucky for having found this gem. Thank you, Kaio!! Robert Leonard Salon is beautiful. Check-in is a breeze; I feel received when I arrive. There is a lovely seating area with refreshments. Some of my favorite features of the salon, besides Kaio :) , are the high ceilings, natural light, beautifully curated abstract art, and stunning wallpaper in the hair washroom. They boast an extensive shop of hair and body products in various sizes, whether you need a pick me up for yourself or someone else in your life, they have you covered. Thank you!! read more

The colors were not in the same tone as what I showed in the reference photos. I've been sad looking at myself in the mirror, seeing my hair color. Also, you should reconsider having your hair dyed here as the products they use might damage your hair. I had a partial balayage done here with Christopher and the dye completely dried my hair out. I've never left a hair salon having my hair this dry after having it dyed! read more

Robert Leonard - Dry hair and weird color - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Clean, modern hair salon in downtown Seattle. The type of place that feels upscale, but not overly fancy. I called to book a blowout, and they were able to accommodate me on short notice. My stylist was Maddie, who was skilled and enjoyable to chat with. I have a full head of 22 inch extensions, and they were able to maneuver them easily. I asked for soft, *subtly* old Hollywood curls, and that's what I got! The photo I attached was after several hours of walking around outside on a hot day. It looked great all day/night, and even the next day. Very reasonably priced at $47 as well. Great experience overall, and I highly recommend Maddie. read more

Robert Leonard - Blowout by Maddie. Several hours later, still looks great! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So I went in a few times to see Cesar for coloring and hair cut + blowout and styling. Ever since he has touched my hair I see a huge difference in the health of my hair, he helped me revive my hair from dull and dry to luscious and soft! I can't get over how good he is. He really knows what he is doing and makes me feel so comfortable when I go in. I look forward to my next hair cut by him. Recommend this place 100% read more

I was excited to be back after 7 years and I jumped when I saw Diny on the website! He is still here at Robert Leonard!! Happy almost 15th anniversary with Robert Leonard Diny! Compared to last time, the salon was almost half size and I enjoyed atmosphere with lots of plants. Color with Kendal: she was very friendly and she made sure that I get right color I want. She was very friendly and explained whole process and detailed about which products she uses. Cut with Diny: he was very detailed and he made sure the length and angle. I cut over 30cm(12in) and my hair was aooo much lighter than before! No more 25min-30min hair dryer for me! The price was around $300 with color and cut. My hair looks so healthy and shining. Thank you guys for the great experience and made me look prettier!! I hope to be back soon to get hair mask or special treatment! read more

Hands down the worst haircut I've ever received. Called the salon to get their recs for the hairdresser that is very experienced with Asian hair (a tricky hair type to cut), a person came highly recommended and I was reassured that she knows how to deal with thick Asian hair. I told her I wanted light layers and a tiny trim to get rid of some split ends. Not satisfied with the outcome (super choppy haircut with aggressive layers) and customer service (they were just trying to fill the new girls schedule not looking out for what I needed). Super disappointed. They did offer to have her try to fix it, but she did such a poor job that I would never let her touch my hair. read more

Well I've been going to many salons and haven't been able to find my fav since my old stylist moved to Colorado until I discover Robert Leonard. Their prices and service are awesome. My go to person have been Larisa. She always make sure my hair length is perfect and doesn't try to up sale me on products. She is simply wonderful. Also this salon offers waxing. The prices are very competitive and Halina does a very sterile job which I appreciate. read more

I started going to Robert Leonard about a year ago. Prior to that I had not had a professional haircut in over 20 years!! Growing up, I had a really difficult time at salons and found that most people didn't know how to work with my hair. My hair is really thick and has a strong non-uniform wave/curl to it. I always left the salon unhappy and feeling like the shape was all wrong, so I just started cutting my own hair...for the next 20 years!! I cannot explain how gratifying it was to walk into a salon and have my hair cut in a way that I genuinely LOVED. The person who cut my hair is named Maddy and I cannot recommend them enough! What a wonderful human being. Maddy is so talented and a joy to spend time with at each appointment. They handled my unruly hair so well and checked in along the way to make sure I was feeling good about things. I will be the first to admit, they do a much better job at cutting my hair than me! The people at the front desk are warm and welcoming. They have a variety of beverages available and make you feel at home. I am so happy to be relieved of the burden of cutting my own hair. Thank you Maddy! read more

I knew I was right to book Ezra to color my hair! I hated my damaged 2 toned hair, and he convinced me to do something different than I wanted, and it came out really nicely! He was super friendly and I enjoyed the whole experience. My stylist was also nice, didn't ask many questions, and got the job done right. If I ever visit Seattle again, this will definitely be a stop. read more

I went in for a consultation and mens haircut with Cesar and couldn't be more pleased. Cesar gave me tips about how to style my hair throughout the process and every decision he made was to work with my hair type and shape of my head to achieve one of the best haircuts I've had. On top of all that Cesar was so fun to talk with that the time flew by. I don't usually spend more than 50$ on haircuts but this was totally worth it! read more

Micah is the absolute best!! I had been seeing Micah for my modern balayages when I lived in Seattle, and he made sure to discuss what I wanted my hair to look like prior to the appointment. Since these appointments take a while (and I have very long hair) I had a lot of time to get to know Micah; he always exuded a confident, calming energy, and was so professional and easy to talk to. I'm an introvert and usually get tired after long interactions, but I found it easy to chat for hours with Micah or also to sit in comfortable silence. I always left feeling so relaxed and looking so good. He would also give hair care and styling advice throughout the session, as well as educate me on the science and terminology of hair coloring, which I appreciated. You can really tell he cares about his art. I've recently moved to Boston and wish they had a Micah here. The free parking on weekends at the Amazon parking garage across the street is nice for long appointments, rather than having to move your car from a 2-hour spot in the area. The front desk is helpful for changing or confirming appointments, although I will say that they could be more welcoming or friendly. I get it though. read more

I had my hair done by Cesar yesterday and he was incredible! He took my really dry hair and made it absolutely gorgeous with a thoughtful color plan and a great cut. He was looking out for me and the total cost to make sure I was comfortable with pricing before we moved forward. I'm new to the area and found him via instagram and am really excited to continue working with him. read more

$1400 BOTCHED HAIR! I wanted an all over burgundy color and trim. I ended up leaving with an orange hair color instead. (I am not confrontational) so I decided to take the L even though I paid $1400 which is crazy as is!! When I left I couldn't see the back of my hair and someone pointed out that I had discoloration everywhere. Here are some pics below of how my hair turned out vs what color I was supposed to receive. When I called the office to see what they could do about it, I spoke with miss Morgan who was incredibly RUDE and unprofessional. She told me that my hair stylist and I agreed that I would have discoloration leaving the salon LOL. Why would I agree to that? Then she said she would just refund me back $1000 sounding super annoyed with me even though my hair was botched and I lost out on money!! She didn't even ask me if I was okay. She was incredibly argumentative and just mean. Then the stylist, Cesar started calling me off Instagram and writing me. It was all very aggressive and unprofessional! Never will I go here or advise anyone else to go here!! 0/10000000 read more

Great experience from start to finish. Cara did my hair and it looks incredible. During my consultation, she got second opinions from a couple of her equally experienced colleagues and it made me feel totally at ease and prioritized. I had gotten some corrective work done over the last 8 months and my hair still had a little ways to go, and this salon got me to my dream hair! The atmosphere is luxurious and upbeat, very clean and aesthetically pleasing. You can always tell a salon is good when you look around and *everyone's* hair is gorgeous. Watched this lady behind me get the coolest, neatest bob I've ever seen. I've been looking for a home salon in Seattle since moving here 2.5 years ago and I can't recommend this place enough. It's more expensive than others but worth it. read more

Lizzy cut my curly hair and I am so happy with how it turned out! I was a little nervous going into it because I hadn't gotten a curly cut in a long time, but she did an amazing job. She looked at all of my reference photos and then talked me through how those cuts would look with my curl pattern. During the cut, we talked about different styling methods and what products would work with my hair type. It can be so hard to find a curly stylist, but if you're in the Seattle area go see Lizzy! read more

Ezra is the absolute best colorist. I followed him to Robert Leonard from another salon. And I LOVE his new home. Not only can I count on the professionalism, consistency, and kindness provided by Ezra, but I can also count on the consistent level of professionalism provided by the salon itself. From the front desk, to the assistants, to the shampoo bowls, I can count on having a top quality experience every time. You can tell that management sets a good tone from the top down, because it's reflected in the overall experience and in the excellent people they hire. read more

Such a great experience! From setting the appointment to the stylist (Larisa O.) to how great my hair looks! They got me in right away with not a lot of notice. Confirmed my appointment and sent a text reminder. Larisa was absolutely fabulous. She was so personable, knowledgeable about hair and made the entire experience pleasant. She listened to my needs of trying to get my hair thick again and got me set up with the products to do so. Highly recommend! Cheers! read more

shout out to Christopher and Micah, truly a dynamic duo I've been seeing Micah for years for my hair, giving him creative control from my pink/purple phase to making the transformation into the blues, and now greens! It's always inspiring to see what kind of ideas Micah comes up with for color. Christopher helped me with my last minute decision to chop my hair off! My hair was down to the middle of my back and we chopped it to my shoulders. He could sense I was nervous and kindly started chatting to distract me. can't wait to go back in a few months to see read more

As a girl who only went to cheap Asian salons, I decided to treat myself for once and chose Robert Leonard. It was worth every cent and I will be coming back! My stylist was Alisha and I found her through Instagram. She was so responsive through messaging and recommended that I come in for a consultation since my hair goal was going to be a big project. I had a very warm red-brown-blonde situation and wanted to go a cool silver-blonde. Alisha was very honest with her opinions, pointing out that what is in right now may not be suitable for everyone. She was very realistic about the color we can achieve due to my warmth without damaging my hair. I appreciated how honest she was, keeping my hair health and what suited my skin tone in mind. A month after my consultation, I came in for the real deal. I was early and the staff seated me right away since Alisha was done with her client early. Throughout my color and cut, Alisha was very vocal, explaining what she was doing, which I enjoyed. Her assistant Mikia (I'm so sorry if the spelling is wrong) was also so helpful and gentle and both of them always made sure I was okay. I also received a haircut like one I have never gotten before. I am a girl with A LOT of hair and Alisha was able to thin it out a little without making it choppy or flat. As a client who was in the salon for 4ish hours, I also saw plenty of other clients come and go in the salon and the staff were so nice. Alisha really made my hair goals come true and although we had realistic expectations in mind, the result was so much better than what I had anticipated! I was so glad I made the decision to splurge and do my hair with Alisha, and for my asian girls out there, she really understands how to work our thick black hair! I never thought I could achieve a beige-blonde color in one session and I am in awe. Alisha is worth every penny. read more

This was my first haircut in a salon in over two years! Alisha is freaking amazing! She and Micah gave me an experience I won't soon forget. I felt heard and seen! They are a dynamic duo! Watching them work is like a choreography and I love hearing them talk each other up! We definitely need more of their kind of vibes and positivity and they sure delivered. I had so much fun and laughed my ass off in addition to learning a ton of new things about hair, styling and products. My hair wash felt like a wonderful head massage! So good! They don't just care about the hair service you're there for, they care about the health of your scalp and I asked a ton of questions about hair loss as I have noticed that I'm losing hair volume as I get older. I requested to take off a few inches, face framing layers and now have so much movement! Alisha listens, gives really honest and respectful feedback and she's such a pro! I felt peaceful and confident with her even before she started cutting! Micah is so wonderful, efficient, respectful, knowledgeable and hilarious! These two clearly love what they do, check in often with you and explain what they are doing while they are doing it! It's hard not to feel good hanging out with them! I love my new style and my hair feels light and healthy! Pro tips: parking is free across the street in the amazon building after 4pm but cost of hourly paid parking before then in the Amazon garage really isn't bad for Seattle! Alisha also has an awesome Instagram page and you can see her work and hair/styling tips on TikTok! read more

My stylist, Dang was AMAZING! I went in for a haircut and balayage refresh and am so happy with how my hair turned out. This was my first time seeing Dang and I do not want to see anyone else. She did such a great job with everything and I left feeling better than expected! I have Asian hair and prone to orange tones. Dang was so helpful and did exactly what I wanted. She is so talented at what she does and even gave some great recommendations for hair products. I also booked my appointment last minute and the salon was able to accommodate me so easily. read more

Ladies, your search is over! I cannot emphasize enough the hair genius that is Alisha Nakamura (@Alishanakamura.hair on IG). I have been attempting the "balayage celebrity" look for what feels like a millennia. Most of the time I felt it wasn't blended enough, not light enough (even after multiple sessions- I know blonde takes time and care), turned brassy too quickly, cut did not accentuate color, and/or grew out stripey and unflattering. I almost gave up- thinking perhaps this dark, course, Asian hair of mine is not meant to have that look. Thank goodness I was recommended to Alisha! Finally did I get that high luxe dimensional look that I have been searching for! That "I was meant to be born with these God-given meticulously placed dimensional color!" and Alisha was able to get my "true hair" out =]!! Thanks Alisha for making me feel confident and to go with the lush color a ridiculously ON POINT lob to rock with curls or straight and boss-like at work ! read more

Well... I really wish I could give this salon and stylist Cesar Caro a hundred stars!!!! I'm not even sure from where to start, I've never really enjoyed my experience at a salon and I've tried to find a good stylist in Seattle for several years but I was never able to find someone who knew how to work with my hair. I'm Brazilian with coarse hair and it takes a very talented stylist to cut my hair well. Today my experience at this salon surpassed all my expectations. Cesar is incredible and so talented. He spent so much time with me consulting to understand my needs, listening to what I wanted, and proposing options. I love my hair cut and the treatment he recommended. He's incredibly knowledgeable, so kind, and just a good human being. His energy is infectious and I'll come see him again very soon. The salon staff was also very helpful, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Thank you! read more
