I admit it: I'm a frugal dude when it comes to getting haircuts. My usual run of salons include Hairmaster, Supercuts, Hairblaster, Hair-today-gone-tomorrow, You-name-it chain of places. However, by fortuitous chance, I happened upon Salon206 while waiting for my car battery to charge at Oriely auto parts. Thank Jehovah I did because Salon206 is a male hair sanctuary in disguise as a mani-pedi, full service salon! Hong Trac, my stylist, cut my hair using only a pair of scissors. She made my nappiest of wigs look incredibly light. I walked out feeling pretty damn good about how the whole thing turned out. I loved my haircut, but that wasn't the best part of my trip. Do yourself a favor and have them shampoo your hair. You will feel like taking a nap while rub your scalp like a ball of dough! read more

My stylist's name at Salon 206 is My Linh. She works there on Wednesdays, for sure and I think another day or two of the week. I am very satisfied with her work. She adapted very fast to my style in which my hair actually sits on my head. Never before have I had people complimenting on my haircut weeks afterward until I had her as my stylist/barber. To be fair, I have yet to try any of the other stylist there for myself; but I see them as artistic professionals in their own rights as they work on their clients' cosmetic needs just as My Linh is. read more

I used to like this place, but unfortunately I can no longer go here or recommend it for other men. I have a beard. A short, well-groomed, obviously *intentional* beard. On TWO separate occasions, with two different stylists, they cut my hair and then, without asking, started up the shaver and began shaving my beard!! You do NOT shave a man's beard without asking him. It's personal, and often defines the way their face looks. This time was the final straw because I had an important meeting the next day, and was no longer going to look like MYSELF for this person!!! Unacceptable. They didn't even give me a chance to stop them, just SWIPE and a section of my beard was gone. No choice but to go home and shave the whole thing off. read more

Go to Lan! I had my first cut here last weekend, and have gotten many compliments! I hate to cheat on you, Seven, however, Salon 206, while it may be out of the way and not appear to be much more than a standard Supercuts--the service and cut were on par, if not superior to your cuts. And CHEAPER! First off, I was 15 minutes late to my appointment--and I called, but they were super friendly about it and didn't seem to mind once I was there. Lan addressed me by name several times, which made me feel welcome and valued as a new client. I decided to go for a whole new look, and got an A-line bob, and took about 4 inches off. I was nervous, but she made me feel comfortable and walked me through the whole process and always confirmed with me before she made a drastic move. The entire appointment only lasted about 20 minutes, and she flat ironed and styled as she went along, which I appreciated. So off with my new 'do, I was feeling stylish and confident, then time came to pay and the total was $17. Only $17! I'm used to paying a MINIMUM of $50 for a decent cut, so as you can tell, I was ecstatic and told Lan I'd be coming back again and again. read more

Just got a cut n color from Lan, the owner. She was very nice and conversed with me during my first appointment. Im glad I went here especially after many disappointing results from other high end salons!! She did a consult first i.e how much I wanted cut , style of cut, and best color that would suit me and my coloring. She started with a dry cut which really felt good since it took a lot of bulkiness away from the last cut. I asked for long layers and its exactly what she did. I was a little nervous about the color she recommended, but she assured me it would look the most natural. After 2 hours i walked out a new woman!! She even did a quick touch-up on my eyebrows before i left. Definitely worth the $73 -i look forward to going back for some waxing and blowouts in the near future. BTW, i learned of this place from my manicurist- thanks Amy from SandalsNail Salon in Laurelhurst!!! read more

Got a great haircut for $18! It was weird that they didn't wet my hair at all, but I won't question her technique. I was very happy with the results. read more

Fantastic prices. Good service. Great hair care. Need I say more?! Better than high end salons and a lot cheaper. The only complaint I have is that one time I went (I've been at least four times) an older lady, maybe Lan's mother?, helped bleach my hair and I don't think she was especially well-skilled. I ended up with some minor blisters in the area she had been working. Otherwise everything has been fantastic. I've never made an appointment - I walk in every time and its never been a problem. read more

My husband often got the same person at this salon for his hair cut. Yesterday , she was busy and I was in hurry, so I let the new one did it. When that lady took the scissor , I was almost crying when the first cut was done. I just want to jump out of the chair. I tried to tell myself maybe it could be her style, but it was not. Also when I told her what style of hair cut I want, she did not understand either until I gave her the picture of it. DID SHE BOUGHT THE LICENSE OR HOURS ????? I will not be back The reason I give 2 stars coz I forgot to call to make the appointment with Lan. read more

I did a root touch up and tone my brassy blonde hair to natural lightest blonde.I love the result Thank you Lan! read more

I LOVEEEEE SALON 206. I have been getting my hair done here for the past 5 years. I was here before the new management (which I think happened 2-3 years ago) and I will say that this group of very talented hair stylists and beauticians ALWAYS makes me feel great after leaving the salon. I've had my haircut done by almost all of the stylists there at one time or another and they have always done a great job. They are very hip and always upgrading their look as a stylist and their look as a salon. Although parking is not the greatest in this small complex (which is shared with a Dominos pizza, a Thai restaurant, and an O'Reily's, I always tend to gravitate to this place because I know that I will be guaranteed a great haircut and great service. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the great work. I have always mentioned this salon when I've received compliments on my hair. read more

Love it here! I've been getting my hair cut here since 2008 and see Lan (owner) every time. My old roommate and (current) friend referred me to Lan and she's great! She always knows what to do with my hair and she knows that I'm lazy to really style my hair, so she's always honest about whether she feels certain hairstyles will work out for me. It's also very affordable. Cost will depend on your hair length, but I have never paid more than $20. I don't dye my hair, so can't really give any reviews on that. I did get highlights once which turned out great and I believe it was about $65 total with my haircut. I still go there even though I no longer live in Beacon Hill; totally worth it! read more

We all know Lan is good at haircut. This time is not about Lan. I would like to introduce another great artist to you, Thuy. She is so good at hair up-do and makeup!! I had a post wedding photo shoot today and I had Thuy to do my hair up-do and makeup and the result was result was above and beyond. I had another bridal makeup artist for my wedding and she's one of the most famous makeup artist in town. Unfortunately, my wedding makeup didn't fullfill my expectation and it was so pricey. So, I wanted to try another artist with better rate. I found Thuy!! She's so good. I didn't do any trial run and she did my hair and makeup for the first shot and it came out to be so pretty! I strong recommend Thuy for hairdos and makeups for your events! read more

I've been back since my last review since they did a great job last time. This time I was planning for a quite drastic change as I picked out a rose gold color for my hair to be dyed with the bayalage ombre style. Unfortunately it took about 2-3 tries to even get a color close to what I wanted originally. In the end, the color applied to my hair wasn't even the one I wanted. It was a more lavendar/pastel purple color than it was a rose gold. And even though I asked for a bayalage, my hair appears to have highlights instead of the ombre I intended to get. Having only paid $90 for it I should have seen it coming. Maybe I'm not too familiar with color dyes having only dyed my hair 3 times, but after two washes (two weeks later) the color is pretty much completely gone. It still blends well because it's transitioned to a lighter shade of the color I had before. But, I would have appreciated more info on how long the color would last and maintenance tips before she went ahead and started applying color without a heads up. I'm still a lover of this salon and the people who work here. But I would suggest getting a whole head dye and a "textbook" color if that makes sense. They seem to do better with colors that are pretty well-known rather that your custom concoctions. The price is definitely unbeatable! read more

I felt an update was needed, since on my last visit, I thought my nails weren't painted all the way to the base edge (shellac). Clearly the gal knew what she was doing, my nails were perfect after I got home and they had the chance to fully set. I really liked my nails, and felt they were done well, almost as perfect as my old spot in Ballard. Trust me, I've had plenty of bad nail experiences, this was pretty darn near perfect.. Great job on hair color, blow outs and flat ironing. Haven't had my hair cut yet, but I plan on trying it out. Nice staff, and convenient parking. Incredible prices. read more

I got a shellac mani and regular pedi. Overall, it was a good experience but here's the lowdown: The good: The pampering for the pedi was great! Nice scrub, hot towel, and massage. The lady was nice and cleaned up my cuticles well. The shellac manicure was good. The bad: I hate to say it, but the paint job wasn't done well for the pedi. There's some paint on my skin around the nail and she put my sandals on before painting them. The shellac manicure was fine but I was missing the paraffin wax and shoulder massage that other nail salons offer with their manicures, so that was a little disappointing. Despite the bad, I like this place and will likely come back. It's clean, people are nice and for me, it's close to my house. :) read more

Lan is great with hair. She always does a fantastic job and is very personable. I only go to her now for haircuts. You'll have to make an appointment in advance because she gets booked fast. read more

I was looking for a local place to get a cut and get some color touched up. Based on Yelp reviews, I tried Salon 206. When I called, the lady was friendly and scheduled me for an appointment at the time and on the day that I wanted. I'd driven by many times on my way to QFC so I knew where to go. When I got there, I was happy to see a bright, clean salon full of friendly staff and happy customers who all seemed to be regulars. My wait time was short and the stylist was friendly. She really looked at the picture of what I wanted done and kept referencing it. The cut was wonderful and I will definitely go back for that. I have very fine hair and I like good layering for body and texture and my cut gives me that with minimal prep time in the morning. The color was good but my complaint is that she didn't get it close enough to the roots so after two weeks it looked like I had 6-8 weeks worth of grow out. If I get color done again, I will be sure to tell her to get closer to the roots. Other than that, she put some gorgeous, buttery blonde highlights in my dark brown hair that blended beautifully and didn't look like trailer park trashy. Last but not least, the price was right. $70 for a cut and partial foil was reasonable for what I got. A salon doesn't have to charge an arm and a leg. Too many people believe that the higher the cost, the better the service, buy at the expensive places, you're paying for atmosphere, not quality work. read more

I've been coming here since last summer (2018$ and Ben has helped me go from basically black hair to grey/blonde. I prefer the grey because when it fades out it totally offsets the orange I tend to get. I have thick, wavy and dry hair so this is something I never felt could happen. Please understand that this doesn't happen overnight!! I started first by bleaching the bottom half of my hair and felt it was good, then I bleached my entire head about 3 months later. I give my scalp and my hair a rest about 3-4 months. I'm attaching a photo of what my natural hair looks like for comparison. Thanks Ben you're amazing!! read more

I use to love this place. But they no longer take walk ins for pedicures. Twice I went in on the weekend and I was told that I have to make an appointment or wait 50 min until someone will show up or have time. So I went elsewhere and they lost my business. Other than this they seem to be busy on the weekend so I would definitely suggest going during the week. Their hairstylists are skilled and friendly, always smiling! They have parking but it's full most of the time because of surrounding businesses. Their prices are amazing compare to other places read more

Salon 206 is a hidden gem and Lan is wonderful! She did an absolutely, amazing job on my hair and I highly Recommend her to everyone, especially, for people who have reservations about coloring your hair because you are afraid of the outcome! I assure you, you will be happy! read more

I had a bad experience here and I normally will not post, but in this case I will. My friend loves Salon 206 and I guess she sees Lan. I didn't realized that, but I got Amy and my experience was disappointing. First, I went in to bleach the roots, which in the past for me has been fairly simple. I also asked if she could tone my hair pink. She said no, there was not enough time. I said not a problem. Long story short, my roots turned orange, she also missed spots around my face that stayed dark (they are tiny, but still). When she saw my roots, she said, "OH, do you want me to tone that down a little!" I said, "Yes!" I was trying not to look horrified. She put toner on and left if for 5 minutes. The wash was great, but I had yellow spots where my roots were and the rest of the hair is white. I was charged $120. She charged extra for the toner. I did not get a haircut and I did not tip. I have never in my life not tipped! It was such a bummer. She said I could come back next week and she could rebleach it. She didn't want to leave the bleach on too long because she thought my hair was going to be damaged. I am going home to California next week, and don't want to pay another $120 to rebleach it and tone it. I would not go here. And...I feel bad saying this. read more

I live in Columbia City and searched yelp for a dependable salon with good reviews and affordable prices and came across Salon 206. I called and made an appointment and 15min later was sitting in one of their chairs. The woman who cut my hair was very efficient! I was done in 30min! The only complaint I have is that I have naturally thick hair, and I did not want it thinned out, which she did without asking. I wasn't too upset b/c my hair needed the cut and layering so I didn't say anything but next time I will definitely make sure this doesn't happen again. It was only $20 for the cut, but that did not include a shampoo or blow out. I will definitely be going back! So glad I found this place so close to my house! read more

Great place! My hair looks amazing! I was able to get right in with a minimal wait time, and the pricing was affordable. I am definitely going back! read more

Got my hair cut by Ben today! I asked for about 2 inch cut with layers and curtain bangs, and came out EVEN better than the picture I showed him. I am in love with my hair and how it makes me look. Would definitely come back to get my hair cut by him. 10/10 read more

Great experience! Booking my appointment was smooth and easy. Staff were very friendly. My hairdresser gave me what I want and able to give her own feedback. I'm happy I got my hair washed (shampoo/conditioner and wash itself was high quality). Nice haircut for nice price. read more

Still love them. They are fantastic. I've tried two manicures there (a syllac and regular) . They were both great!! I have also gotten an eyebrow waxing. My skin is a bit sensitive as I found out for the first time so next time I will ask them to ease a bit on the wax. The staff at 206 is ALWAYS kind and gracious to me and I can't see myself going anywhere else. I haven't tried a hair cut yet, but if I need a trimming I will try. read more

Went there for the 1st time. It was great. I got a haircut and color. She was very detail oriented. She listen to what I wanted. read more

I'm so glad to be back with my Girl Lan! She never disappoints! Given the pandemic she still goes above and beyond to make services affordable! If you're looking for consistency and quality work come here! She slays every time! The head massages included with your hair wash is HEAVEN! You'll definitely leave here feeling de stressed. :) Thanks Lan and team. Love you! read more

Walk ins aren't welcome. I went in just for a quick manicure and they said they couldn't get me in all day. No worries, there are other places that want my business. read more

I just tried this place for the first time. Good pedicure--nothing to rave about, but it did the trick. Manicure was a bit off--polish all around my nails, but it's just my clear polish, so no big deal. They did do a good job of cleaning up my nails and cuticles, which was sorely needed. Decent service for the price. Comfortable surroundings. Friendly staff. I'll be back to try them again! read more

Just went in to get a new style and Ann did an amazing job!!! Very reasonably priced so I gave her a large tip!!! I will definitely be back.

First time here. Got my hair cut from long to shoulder short. Ben did a great job on my hair. He even made them look thicker and recommended me what looked best on me (since I have thin hair). Love this place. Will come back again. read more

Great skills and talent they have. Staff is super friendly and what really impresses me is the passion they have for their careers. I always ask the quesion of how they like what they do and they always give me very positive and in-depth answers. I admire them for their super talented way of cutting my hair and always go above and beyond to try to style me in the way that I could never imagine! In addition, the shop is super clean and well-maintained by the owner and management. Love this place! read more

Great place to get a men's haircut. Lovely staff. I have had my haircut by multiple people here and they have all been fabulous. Very affordable pricing and very flexible with appointments and walk ins. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Just finished a hi/low foil, shampoo and haircut with Ben. He is a perfectionist and I couldn't be happier. First time he colored my hair and we picked the colors together. Best part is the shampoo massage which can put you to sleep. They have totally redecorated since quarantine and it allows more room around you so you feel safe and of course everyone is masked. Thank you Ben. Your shears are magic! read more

Ben is amazing! Color my hair last week and very happy ! Price is bargain and he did a great job ! Very detail and careful!

The best kept secret in Seattle hair. This little salon has the best stylist Lan who will give you that bombshell look you have always wanted ladies. The salon does not have all the bells and whistles of luxury that flows out of downtown salons. However, your hair will look luxurious after a cut from Lan. I have been here a handful of times and every time I am so excited after my haircut. She is highly sought so book in advance and often! I have very straight black hair (thick and full) to deal with and she is great at making it light and highly professional. I love my haircut! read more

Love this place!! Best and most reasonably priced hair cuts!!! I trust my fuzz here for years!!!

I love Salon 206! The staff members are very friendly. Ben is my stylist and he does an amazing job. Thank you, Salon 206 for being the best. read more

I give the owner Lan 4-5 stars for her skills. She's great with kids and gives a mean head massage while shampooing your head. Totally sat back and enjoy the relaxing element to that. Great pricing. Nice clean large salon. With that being said her associate who did my manicure and pedicure drew blood....not once buy twice. I walked out bleeding. I'd give that person 1 star for doing that! Nail application wasn't so great neither but the art work Lan's sister did on two of the toe nails was very cool and for that she gets the same 4 star ...not to mention she tried to clean up my bleeding toe. I'd go back again but I wouldn't get a manicure or pedicure from them again. read more
