I was having a hard time finding a stylist that could deal with my hair. After some research, I booked an appointment with Cindy and I proceeded to receive one of the best haircuts I've ever had!! I love my haircut. I'm about two weeks out right now and it's so curly and easy to style and such a great cut! Then I found out from her that the salon has been there for something like 29 years?! where have I been all that time?! I could have just had a great cut years ago!! read more

Salon Metro - Best cut ever for my straight wavy curly hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I went to Cindy a few times. I left the third time feeling unsettled and unhappy about my haircut. I went to a new curly hair place to fix the cut after two weeks. As soon as I sat down they pointed out how uneven the hair was cut, I was shocked to see the back. I am cannot believe I was walking around like this. I am very disappointed read more

I first got my haircut back in October and wow I was in love and still am! I showed Cindy a couple photos of what I wanted and let her know I usually go for a cut once a year because I'm trying to grow my hair out and she gave me the best cut for that. I looked like a rockstar and it is growing out in a way that I loooove. Just booked my second appointment for those summer shades and maaayyybeee a trim. read more

This was my first time visit to Cindy and am very happy with the cut. My long time curly cut stylist moved a few years ago and my hair was definitely showing it. She was super low pressure about products and made sure that the style fit into my lifestyle (hey, you don't even know how many people want me to diffuse and I don't even own a hairdryer). I've never had so many compliments on my hair and everyday has been a good hair day. I'll definitely be booking my next cut with Cindy! read more

Absolutely 10/10 recommend Cindy for a curly cut!! I've gotten several great curly cuts in my life and I think this one is my favorite. Cindy is super skilled, super kind (no hair care shaming!), and gave me exactly what I asked for (minimal reduction in length, just shaping and layers). Cindy taught me how to use a really quick and simple styling technique on my hair that I've never seen anyone use before. No tools involved, she just showed me how to work the hair with my hands and it only took a few minutes. She is all about low maintenance hair care, which I absolutely love. Cindy wanted my hair to mostly air dry, so that's why some of the pictures you see in reviews look damp or are not fully fluffed out/styled. I'm sure she would have fully diffused my hair if I'd asked but I went with her recommendation and I LOVE the results. For context: I have thick 3a/3b hair, high porosity, and struggle mostly with dryness and frizz. I never feel this way about hair salons, but I can't wait to go back! read more

I've been going to Lindsay for the past few years and am always happy with my cut and color. She's fun to talk to and always makes sure she understands what look I'm going for. Scheduling online is easy, and there's plenty of parking around the salon (I usually park in the QFC parking lot and buy something after my haircut). Highly recommend Lindsay read more

I've been going to Cindy for an Ouidad cut + hair dye for 3+ years now. If you're tired of your curly hair looking like a fluffy triangle, I definitely recommend this place! It's also an organic salon, so I can rest easy when getting my hair dyed. I agree with a previous reviewer - Cindy is definitely no-nonsense! But she's always pleasant when I see her, and she's taking COVID-19 seriously. read more

This was my first time ever getting the Ouidad Curly Cut. Cindy was amazing and made me feel comfortable enough to take a nap while getting this luxury service done. It felt amazing to have my hair washed and conditioned in the warm water and she made sure the length of my curls were even all around just like I wanted. Cindy made sure that I was getting the style I desired and communicated with me throughout the process. I will definitely be back. read more

Salon Metro - Ouidad curly cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It is such a blessing to find a hairdresser you can trust. I've been coming to see Cindy for the last 5 years and she always takes such great care of my curls. I found out about Cindy on Ouidad site and had amazing first experience, but because she was far from where I lived I decided to try another Ouidad stylist closer by and I quickly saw how superior Cindy is with the carving technique. My hair is always more manageable and flows better with her cut and also lasts longer between cuts. She is also amazing with hair color. Always makes my highlights look natural. Plus, she is just such a nice person, I always enjoy our time together. So needless to say, I drive and will continue to drive out of my way to see her for all my curly hair needs. Thanks Cindy. You're the best! read more

Brita, thank you so so much for your amazing space you've created in the cozy salon metro! I felt 100% comfortable during my leg wax and I smelt oh so good from your shea butter. As a plus size women there is always a fear of stepping into a spa situation, but that quickly changed as soon as I settled in! Thank you for everything! read more

I walked into the salon and my stylist/owner was with another client. I started browsing the retail products when she asked if I was her haircut appointment and I said yes. She told me to put my coat away and have a sit in another chair. She never introduced herself or asked my name which was strange as I was a new client. I told her what I was trying to accomplish with my curly/wavy hair and she gave me her opinion. She washed my hair but gave me no head massage. I have fine hair and she thinned it out way too much. It was cut wet and she didn't dry it all the way. I am left with a layered cut that looks more like a mullet. Thank goodness my hair grows fast! For $140 I expected more, especially with all her other grand reviews. read more

I had a wonderful cut and color with Cindy. My hair was super long, stringy, and faded with ends that were dry and damaged. It had almost been three years since my last real haircut. Not only did she listen to what I was envisioning, but since I was a new client she texted me after I booked online to get an idea of what I was looking for. My hair looks healthy and beautiful and the color is vibrant but not brassy. If you're a curly girl I definitely recommend!! read more

Mandy is amazing! Years of being terrified of going to a stylist finally made my way to see her! She did an amazing job cut a bit off and colored!! 10/10 recommend. Previously she had even curled my hair for my wedding she's super amazing should definitely go see her! read more

Salon Metro - Cut and color from Mandy - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my go-to salon in Seattle. I recently saw Lindsay, and I've never been happier with a hair cut! I got a bleach and tone, and a few inches shorter, and it's so fun. She understood my vision and gave me something better than i could've imagined. I've gotten so many compliments on it. I was nervous while getting it dyed, but Lindsay was so nice and understanding. Cindy is also amazing read more

Love my new haircut, first one in a year thanks to COVID. Cindy did a fabulous job, and took great care in hand washing, mask wearing and spreading customers appointment times. I've been a Deva cut girl for years, but Cindy won me over. I can go 2-3 days without needing g to restyle. read more

A big shout out to recognize the splendid care, attention, amazing haircut with stylist, Denice, who listened to what I requested and delivered a beautiful final result. Calm, charming atmosphere salon in a retro style setting. Denice was thorough, gentle, professional, focus on details (including washing hands, masking, sterilizing, clean up, etc). Would return, would highly recommend! Thanks, Denice!! read more

Cindy had so many great reviews that we had high hopes that she'd give my curly haired daughter a fabulous cut for the $177 rate she charged. After her cut, when my daughter washed and dried her hair a few days later, the layers of the cut did not blend well. We were confident Cindy would be able to correct the issue -- after all, stylists are human and can have an off day. We requested a follow up appointment and although she agreed to see my daughter, when my daughter got there, Cindy was brusque, didn't look at pictures or the video pointing out the problem areas, spent less than 5 minutes on my daughter's hair and managed to make a weird cut worse. Very disappointed in the cut but more about how my teen who was very respectful and shy about going back for a touchup, was treated in the process. You may have better luck with your cut and experience -- but as you consider your options for a stylist, maybe this review will help you make your decision. read more

Cindy at Salon Metro is truly Curl Master of the Universe. Since my hair changed texture from straight to curly and frizzy this year (who knows why), I've felt blue every time I look in the mirror. I even saw a "curl specialist" at a well known salon chain, with no improvement. But this morning I walked out of Salon Metro with a stylish, cute as heck look that - even more important - is easy to maintain, no blow-drying required! The style that Cindy created is a bit shorter, and rounded out to frame my face better (previously I looked like I was peeking out of a garden hedge). And she patiently took the time to explain how the steps for using product to do my own frizz control. And she was so friendly and easygoing. Cindy is the best. Can't thank her enough! read more

I have had awful experiences throughout my life, so for years I have trimmed and dyed my hair, late May I decide to go to a salon, didn't do m y homework and just walked in and Ughhh the owner destroyed my hair, (have pictures) so then I decided to do my research and found this salon and all hair technicians/Stylist had great reviews and OMG were they right... I went in and Denice not only fixed what that horrible person did, but she took her time, asked me all sorts of questions about my hair, how I like to style it, what products I use etc... she ACTUALLY listened, as she was cutting my hair she would explain everything she was doing, she opened her case of hair tools and practically used all her scissors on my lol, I absofreakinlutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair, it was a drastic cut from what I have had, but I adore it, I have styled it several ways already... so U know it's a great cut when U can do that!!!!! read more

A friend told me about Cindy and her skills with curly hair. I have been a happy customer for more than 3 years. I have had my share of bad haircuts and color. I trust Cindy and have received so many compliments on my hair and the color. If you have curly hair and want it to look the best, I highly recommend Cindy. She will make sure you leave looking amazing! read more

The owner, Cindy, has cut my hair 3x since I found her. I tried several other curly hair cutters and she was the best I found in Seattle. With all the Covid pieces, she was extremely conscientious about cleanliness. Trust this salon. And Cindy. She is the best with curly hair. Do not expect a lot of coddling- she is no nonsense. One suggestion may be to lower prices a bit during Covid, as no one gets a blow dry, which is half the fun. Prices are high - but her standards are also. read more

Cindy Frank is a curly hair Rock. Star. Expensive but I will be returning, and will sing the praises of Cindy to all of my curly haired friends!! read more

I highly recommend Renee at Salon Metro. I've been seeing Renee for years now, since she was working at Habitude. Renee is a talented hairstylist and fun to talk to. My hair is a combination of thin and wavy, with a layer of coarse and curly underneath. She knows how to work with my hair, and knows what styles I like. I get the best results when I give her a general direction and then let her do her thing. I just got my hair done last night, and we switched things up a bit. I'm loving my hair this morning. About four years ago I subjected my hair to a thermal relaxer (not Renee). Bad move. Renee patiently fixed the mess month by month, deep conditioning treatment by deep conditioning treatment. I actually ended up with a really cute short bob since all of my damaged hair had to go. Oh, if you're into credentials Renee trained at the Aveda academy in Minneapolis. read more

For the last 2 years, Renée has been doing my hair and I can tell you right now - as long as she is cutting hair I will never go to anyone else! She is fast, friendly and extremely talented at what she does. She always knows exactly what I want and I usually walk out of there even happier than I was expecting. In fact, I drive two hours just so I can have my hair done by her. If you are looking in to Salon Metro - definitely ask for Renée, you will not be disappointed! read more

The past 4 years Mandy Cope has been my hair stylist. She has taken me through highlights, lolights, ombrè, and bayalage. Every step of the way she has pleasantly surprised me with every new style. I am not the easiest client having long, thick, and straight hair but mandy has never disappointed me. If you are looking for an amazing colorist that is willing to give her best advice and find the best look for your complexion give Mandy a try, she is definitely one of the best around. read more

You need to call and make an appointment with Sasha at Salon Metro, like, yesterday. I used to drive from Bothell to see her and thank goodness I now live in Greenwood so this adorable Aveda salon in Wallingford is only a hop, skip and a jump from my home. Sasha is a great stylist for everything from the simple pixie cut that I maintain every month, to extension, or to European hair painting method of dying called balayage color that all my long maned friends get from her. I also love that I can count on her for awesome consultation or advice if I want a change. She's honest, ,experienced, and really does want me to look my best. She's basically always right. I kinda hate it. ;) read more

I went here the first time today. I've never been happier with my hair. Cindy really knows curls. She patiently took my fine hair with a mix of curl types from strangely flat and loopy in places to a consistent , bouncy shiny curl. I love it. I usually look like a big poof-head after leaving a salon and I can't tell what the cut will be like until several days later. I have no poof, just great curls that look natural and don't feel crunchy. I've tried a lot of curl-specialists from Seattle to Everett. Cindy is awesome. She also showed me step-by-step how to use the products. I highly recommend her. read more

This salon has the best vibe. I love the small bathroom in the back with the eco-friendly stone sink. They have the best selection of high end hair product and the stylists are great at helping you pick the right product for your hair. I am LOVE with Lindsay. I followed her to Metro from her previous salon. She makes my blonde look insanely natural. I get compliments on it all the time. I really love that she does a mini hand massage while the toner sets. If you want great hair and to feel pampered, see Lindsay. read more

Love Cindy and this salon, I've been searching or someone who understands my hair for years (which is fine and curly/wavy in some parts) in both Portland and Seattle. I've been to quite a few salons and Cindy nails it every time. she listens to what you want and I always leave happy; She is a godsend. Despite the fact that I plan on moving back to portland soon, I plan on making the trek back up here just for a trim from her. It's expensive but 120% worth it. walking out of Salon Metro is honestly when I feel the most confident and beautiful. read more

I've been seeing Cindy Frank at Salon Metro for many year, and I always get compliments on my hair style and color. She does a great job and is very patient and intuitive when it comes to hair. She's actually the owner of the shop, and takes special care that everyone feels welcome. They have a great selection of Aveda products and they also have some unusual gift items, such as handmade scarves that Cindy makes from felted wool. On the main floor, I think they have 4 stations and a relaxing waiting room while your hair is processing. Upstairs is a spa with massage and other procedures. I love this place and highly recommend Salon Metro. read more

A clean, quaint, and open space with lots of natural lighting and a nice aesthetic. I got my haircut by Justin at Salon Metro yesterday and I couldn't be happier. It is very rare that I leave a salon feeling like the stylist understood and executed exactly what I wanted. I have very thick and long hair - he was able to keep the length that I wanted while taking care of a lot of the bulk. Truly flawless. Thanks again! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cindy! I was late to my appointment due to traffic and any other salon would have sent me away. Instead, she stayed past closing time. And, instead of rushing because she wanted to go home, she took her time and ensured that I got the most perfect cut possible. She does wet cut, which worried me, but don't let it worry you! She is an absolute pro! She took my drab, uneven, hair and made it beautiful! She did not push products, but did make recommendations upon request and I bought all the things! I'm now hooked on Ouidad products and highly recommend them. I can't wait to continue working with Cindy to make my curly hair as happy and healthy as it can be. I drive all the way from Mount Vernon for her and it's worth it! read more

Just had my best haircut in years by Cindy. I used to go to a flagship Ouidad salon and Cindy's technique is ON POINT with this curly hair life saver. Worth every penny. She also made me feel incredibly safe during COVID. All appropriate precautions were taken. read more

I have been seeing Angela at Salon Metro for more than eight years and she is extremely gifted, particularly with color. Many of my friends share tales of hair nightmares, but I have never had one, which is no small feat, especially since I am known to frequently change my hair color and cut dramatically. This is largely due to Angela's expertise, as well as the fact that they only Aveda, I the processes are relatively gentle and my hair always looks healthy, even when I have a platinum bleach done. Angela is also very intuitive and always knows what I want, without me having to tell her. While after 8 plus years we have developed our own telepathy, she's demonstrated this ESP from the first day. I also love how she brings her lush creativity and style into every cut and color. The other stylists are also excellent, friendly and professional. Every head leaves the place looking fabulous. Given the size of the place, the selection of Aveda products is quite good, but it's not as exhaustive as you would find at a larger salon. My only complaint is that it could be more full-service. They do not employ a receptionist, so booking is a little slow and there's no one to take care of you when you get there if they are busy. read more

Mandy rocks. The other Yelp reviews about her are what made me stop by this salon on a whim. I texted her and she was able to get me in within 30 minutes. She is wonderful and my experience was the best!! Thanks Mandy!! read more

If you have wavy to curly hair that is hard to manage then Cindy is the person to visit. Not only will you get the right cut for your hair type, but also the right products to style it for the best look. I have been enjoying my hair cut so much since Cindy cut it. It hasn't looked this good in years! read more

I've been getting Ouidad cuts from Cindy for about a year now. I have super thick, short curly hair. Cindy keeps my hair from being too poofy and bulky. It's always super cute and fits my style. Now I never have to worry about getting a bad haircut!! Oh, and she introduced me to the BEST styling product for my curls!! :) read more

I have been having my hair cut and colored at Salon Metro for more than 10 years. Cindy Frank is a fabulous stylist. I have naturally curly hair and so does she. I love that she understands how to work with curls, whether short or long. The salon is conveniently located in Wallingford, and is a beautifully appointed space all year long. Whether you have curly, wavy, or straight hair, whether you color your hair or not, I think you will love this salon and stylist. read more

I was looking for someone to fix my mess of curly hair and Cindy was the PERFECT person! She was so knowledgeable, took the time to listen and transformed my hair into a great shape. She also taught me the method to styling it etc and I learned a lot of new things. I would HIGHLY recommend Cindy and this salon if you have curly hair! read more

This review is about Cindy Frank! I never knew what to do with my mostly frizzy, slightly curly fine hair. I've tried for years with many products, many stylists to try to work with something natural, but it never looked great. I found Cindy online and read about her years in New York mastering a Slicing Technique specifically for my hair type. I have no idea what that is, but she revolutionized my hair! It's like she knew my hair, it's challenges and what it needed. She taught me how to style it with great products. She's informative without being pushy, and listens to what you want as well. I have never had this much confidence in my hair, which leads into myself. She is worth every penny! (Including a good tip :) ) read more
