My wife and I won't go anywhere else now. It can be hard to get an immediate appointment, but it's worth the wait, just to feel safer. Other shops around town might give lip-service to safety protocols, (one shop only put on masks when they saw me at the door, and when I looked inside, they had their dogs running loose in the shop. I walked away), but the folks at Color Box don't play: they sanitize in and out, use gloves when appropriate, disinfect between each customer and greet customers outside. Even with all that, they still manage to make you feel well-cared for. Oh: they offer free touch-ups and trims, to keep you looking spiffy. Time to make my next appointment...

Shawn is a hair whisperer. Three years ago, I responded to…read morean ad from a woman who posted beautiful photos of hair "she" colored and styled. Lets just say, I was lucky to have any hair at all when she was finished. The mop on top was beyond damaged; breaking, tangled and burnt. Shawn agreed to consult and came up with a repair plan. Fast forward to 2021... Mick and Shawn have really stepped up to the challenges of covid. The shop is super clean, products are excellent, and I can't recommend the Color Box enough. No matter your hair, Shawn can work his magic to make it the best it can be. I wish I had never left Whidbey, and if I do manage to make it back, I will definitely return to the Color Box! Thanks Gentlemen!

When I decided to change up my look with a balayage, there was no one else I trusted enough to give me exactly what I was looking for! Rachel did not disappoint me!! This is the EXACT look I was going for and I couldn't be more excited than I am or feel more beautiful than I do! I very highly recommend Rachel for all hair services. Not only is she an amazing hair stylist/artist but she is such a genuine and kind person who strives to give her clients exactly what they want! Thank you, thank you, thank you Rachel!!! I absolutely LOVE my new hair!

I lost my hair from breast cancer treatment, and while a wig helps when you take it off you never feel comfortable even in your own house.

People have told me "oh you grew your hair out it looks really good"! I just say thanks.

I truly appreciated how she was more focused on my hair cut and not being over the top to be my new best friend trying to make small talk. I especially admired her attention to detail not just in my haircut and styling but also in attending to my overall comfort. I do not live on Whidbey but visit family there regularly so moving forward I will be hoping for an appointment with Katie for as long as she works at this salon.

You can really tell he knows exactly what he's doing. I was honestly really nervous going in because I've had bad experiences before, but Andy made me feel so comfortable right away. He was super patient, explained the process, and never made me feel rushed or worried. That alone meant a lot to me. What I really appreciated is how careful and detailed he was. He took his time to make sure my hair stayed healthy while still getting the color I wanted. And the results... wow. It actually turned out even better than the inspiration photo I showed him. I didn't even think that was possible. My hair looks so blended, soft, and just overall beautiful. You can tell he takes pride in his work and really cares about his clients. 1000% recommend Andy, especially if you have Asian hair and are scared to get it done like I was. He's patient, knowledgeable, and truly talented. I'm so glad I trusted him -- definitely coming back!

I recently had a baby and he was especially caring and patient during my pregnancy. I always looked forward to our appointments because not only would he make me laugh with stories from his days working in LA, but I always left feeling beautiful, even when I arrived feeling anything but. It's proven difficult to find someone in the Seattle area who truly knows how to cut and style my hair in a way that is flattering to my face shape, fits my personality, and is easy to style myself. Jason's accomplished all of those things and I wouldn't have anyone else cut my hair.
