Each time I've gone I've booked a different stylist and results are varied. I always ask for the same thing--just a touch-up on my roots and a trim. Every time the prices have been different. It's gone from $125 to $250 to $80, which is odd (perhaps the stylist decides the price?), though all these prices are comparable to other salons downtown. Also, the touch-up has been patchy on occasion. They also have strange hours. However, they're much easier to book an appointment with than other salons in the area, as they're very flexible, and the location is sublime. The windows give you an amazing street view to people watch, and when they wash your hair, you get to look up and the gorgeous exposed beams. I'm an architecture nerd. read more

After other stylists attempted to get me back to blonde from brown(yes I know it's a process), I made an appt with Savannah and went hoping for the best. She exceeded my expectations and I will not be going anywhere else for my blonde ever again!! read more

Salon Paixao - Hair Salons Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I really needed to get my hair done. The hair stylist, Laura, was EXTREMELY rude to me and made me feel bad about myself. I don't have a lot of time to make appointments. It was such a bad experience because her attitude was terrible. I would call it a baditude for sure. She should not be in a job that requires even a mediocre level of customer service. I used to think this salon was a good place however now I would never consider going there again. I feel bad for the owner because that hair stylist is bringing down the reputation of her establishment. Laura could use a lesson in how to speak to customers in a respectful way because life is tough enough without experiences like that. read more

I have been struggling to fine someone who will style my hair the way I want. Jessica was so GREAT!!! She had some really great ideas and fixed my hair color to better match my skin tone. The style is great and I love the color. I got so many compliments on the color. Plus she is super friendly!! The salon is clean and feels very relaxing. read more

I went there today and had Stacy. She was very friendly and easy to talk to! I was also able to make an appointment kind of last minute. The facility is very spacious, clean, and inviting! I will definitely come here again for my hair needs and would recommend it! read more

Do not go to Salon Paixao in downtown Olympia. The lady on the phone said, "I don't have time to talk to deaf client who wants a pedicure on the relay phone service." That's okay, no hard feelings. Keep looking for a better salon business. read more

Jori is amazing! I've tried a few salons in the area, always went back to Seattle for color and cuts. Jori does both as good or better than the pricey Seattle salons. What a find! read more

This place is beautiful and very clean! The location is great and right in the middle of downtown Olympia. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have been to many hairstylists and let me just say that Amanda is fabulous! She is a great listener when sharing my ideas and desires for my hair. We discuss different options to achieve the hairstyle or color that I'm looking for. She offers great advice as to how to keep my hair healthy and stylish. The fact that she has a wonderful personality and is extremely easy to talk to and have a fun conversation with during my session is a total bonus! I am done shopping around for a hairstylist. read more

Such a great salon! Leslie did an amazing job on my hair today....such an attention to detail! I've also enjoyed a relaxing facial and pedicures. I definitely will be back for more services! read more

Salon Paixao - Permanent straightening treatment - Hair Salons Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Years ago I saw a lady at a doctor's office and asked her where she got her hair done. I went there (not this place) and found my forever stylist in Tyler. After owning her own salon for awhile She transitioned to Paixao and here I hope she stays. It's a light and airy corner salon with spa services and high end product (which I never buy but nice to have options). Tyler knows my color and cut inside and out. But (here's the five star) on the occasions when I have to cancel or roots start showing up earlier than my next appointment I can usually always get in to another stylist and they do a great job too. Only once was it too red but hey, it's hair! This place is not cheap but not more than places in Seattle or snooty places. And they are not snooty! read more

I recently moved to the area and was having a hard time finding a new stylist. A coworker of mine recommended that I make an appointment with Jessica. I just had my appointment on Monday and love my hair! My highlights and low lights had over 2 months worth of outgrowth and my ends were in desperate need of some TLC. Jessica gave me some great advice on how to approach my color (low lights weren't recommended because I swim quite a bit and the chlorine apparently makes low lights brassy...I wish previous stylists had informed me of this!). All in all, I had a great experience. I love the salon and have already made a second appointment with Jessica in a few months! read more

Lindsey is amazing! I just let her do whatever she wants to my hair (she is the expert not me) and it is always perfect. She has an amazing eye for color and style. I have been to more stylists than I can count and have never been as happy with my hair as I am now. I started going to her when she was at another salon downtown and followed her to Paixao. I have referred many people to her and they are equally pleased. she is the best. read more

Beautiful salon. Easy to find parking (but you will have to pay for it). I've only seen Sabrina twice now but I absolutely love her & have found my stylist for life! I stress to her that my length is important to me & she has never cut it shorter than what I'd like, she has always picked gorgeous colors to balayage my hair with & any time I leave it always looks different, which is particularly important to me since I have paid $150+ for hair color appointments & seen zero difference (I have dark brown hair). My hair is more gorgeous because of her & she's basically amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone new! read more

I love Salon Paixao and specifically my hairdresser, Lindsey. I usually get the same haircut every time and it looks slightly different each time but I always love it. I am confident if I chose to chop my hair off and dye it, she would make it look fabulous! Lots of upscale products to choose from for purchase and used when washing and styling as well. Plenty of services available and they have evening and weekend hours! Love the large windows with the natural lighting and the general "feel" of the salon. Convenient location downtown but not so close in that you can't find parking. read more

For the past 10 years I have been on a major major hunt for a good stylist that I'll want to return to. I've been to stylists in San Francisco, New York, Boulder and beyond and no one fit the bill or crafted a cut that I came away feeling super excited about. I finally found someone! Monica cut my thin/fine hair and did an AMAZING job. She was thorough, totally knew what she was doing and was SO SWEET! I never post a review on yelp but felt she was so good she deserves a shout out. And the salon itself is beautiful, clean and light filled. I'll be going back!! read more

I heard that Jorie (formerly of Premiere Salon/Aveda) started working here recently and I just had to leave a review. Jorie has been cutting my hair since 2008. You know how some people just have a natural talent at what they do? That's Jorie. My hair always looks great. I have wavy to curly hair and have had many bad haircuts, ones where my hair just looks flat or the stylist is trying to tame my hair. Jorie isn't afraid to bring out the natural beauty of your hair, she doesn't try to pointlessly tame my hair - it's never going to be "tame" - she just goes with what it's strengths are. I've referred several people to her, because people ask me who cuts my hair regularly. I moved to Oakland, California, and I still get my hair cut by her when I'm back visiting, and it's still the best. She is a total gem. And I really mean that, I have my pick of high end salons in the Bay Area and I've had satisfying cuts from other people, but she's still the best. My mother started seeing her and drives from Seattle to get her hair cut - and her hair looks great! read more

Naomi has been cutting my hair for years, and I don't know what I'd do without her! She gave me a cut just the other day, and as usual, I have been stopped several times by other women who want to know where I get my hair cut. I like cuts that are not mom-ish and just a tad edgy, and Naomi always comes through for me. I'd follow her to any salon, but the Salon Paixao is great, and it's in a fabulous location. This is the only salon I recommend. read more
