service was friendly, offered coffee, very nice people. my hair came out just the way I wanted it too, styled nicely. the vibe was fancy but felt warm in a good way. read more

Jafra did it again! I had received a less-than-satisfactory bang trim with a different stylist that left me devastated. He had ruined all of Jafra's hard work from my previous visit. When I finally got a hold of Jafra, via her personal email, she was only in town for the next 18 or so hours and managed to squeeze me in to fix the horror poking me in the eyes. Not only that, but she gave me The Works! Wash, all over cut, and a beautiful blow out that lasted for 5 days. QE Salon even comped the fee for the style since the bad trim came from one of their stylists. Astounding customer service. Their professionalism and eagerness to satisfy a customer goes above and beyond many businesses these days. Thank you, Salon QE and especially to Jafra. Girl, you deserve s standing ovation! read more

I have been seeing Zdenka for several years now and followed her when she went to Salon Q. E. I prefer it because it's smaller and much quieter than other salons. But I would follow Zdenka wherever she went. She is a master of color and cut. I have ALWAYS been extremely happy with her work. She is a real professional and will let you know whether she thinks a style or color will be a good choice for you. I appreciate this so much! Sometimes we don't know what is best for our skin tone or face shape. I've made mistakes in the past and previous stylists just let me go ahead. Of course the client is the boss but her opinion is so very helpful. I have no plans on ever seeing anyone else. The foils and cuts I've received are beautiful and I receive many compliments. Plus, she's friendly, kind and fun to talk to! read more

Salon Q.E. is fannntastic! Blown away by David's skills, attention to detail, and personality. I'm that client who comes in with a photo of some weird trendy shave-fade haircut, shows it to the stylist, and says "can we do something kinnnd of like this? Anything you think looks good though." 99% of the time the stylist sort of laughs a bit and we end up doing something a little less extreme because they don't want to mess up my hair. (Fair enough.) David on the other hand looked at the photo, and then straight up told me that he doesn't normally do anything like what I was asking, but we could give it a try. I said "heck yeah!" and buckled in for the ride. Not only did David and I have an enjoyable conversation (I don't find it easy to get into flowing conversation with most stylists I've visited over the years, so this was a big plus in itself!) he managed to pull off EXACTLY the sort of style and look I was going for. I'm absolutely thrilled! If you're trying to decide which salon to visit in Seattle, I wholeheartedly recommend Q.E to you. Everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and obviously highly skilled craftsmen who care about the work they're doing. I'll upload a before and after in the photos section of yelp, if you're looking I'm the one who's missing half their hair! ;) Thanks again David & Team! read more

Excellent service! I highly recommend Epiphann, he does a great job with edgier cuts and bright/ash highlights! Plus, he's just an awesome, all around fun guy to chat with while he's giving you an excellent look/style :) read more

One of the best haircuts I've ever had. J.R. took so much time to make sure I had a great style. 10/10 recommend.

I went to Epiphan for my haircut and it has been, by far, the most amazing haircut I've ever gotten. He was an absolute genius when It came to handling my hair. I went in for a consultation first and he patiently explained what would look good for my frizzy thin hair. He explicitly mentioned that I could not get It done if I didn't want to. That showed that they truly cared how their clients felt. I made an appointment to see him right there at his next availability and got myself really cute bangs (something I never thought would suit me but Epiphan knew best and he was right), haircut and a gloss. I'd definitely recommend this salon and Epiphan and thank them for such an amazing experience. read more

You're not going to go here for the ambience or the cool music but the haircuts are amazing and The people who work there are so incredibly down-to-earth and nice. No is from Italy and he used to do all the runway models in Milan; both makeup and hair. His haircuts are insane and grown out forever. They also make a mean cappuccino. read more

Zdenka, stylist at Salon Q.E., is the best hair cutter I've ever had (and I've been getting my curly locks cut for over 50 years). She collaborates with you, meaning she really listens to your preferences; she's skilled in the extreme; and she genuinely cares about her work. I've never had a hair cutter who is so committed to doing an excellent job. Zdenka is one-of-a-kind. read more

If you have hair and you want the absolute BEST cut and color of your life, you need to come here and ask for Epiphan. 1. He's hot as hell 2. He's French and has a sexy accent 3. He knows what you want better than you know what you want and when you come in saying you want to do something drastic, he is experienced enough to know what level of change you can realistically handle 4. You want to keep your long hair long even though you have split ends to your ears? He is magic. Split ends will be gone, hair will be sexy, and length will be maintained 5. Your color will be absolutely phenomenal. It will look natural but have depth and dimension and you will get compliments all the time. Just carry his business card around with you because you'll be giving it out to strangers nonstop. I went in unsure if I wanted change, but decided to go ahead and do something different after years of saying I would but chickening out. I asked for red hair, and Epiphan knew I wouldn't be able to handle TOO drastic of a change and he worked his magic. Ever the wimp, I of course decided it was too much change and came back to tweak the color a bit- which he did free of charge after spending over 4hrs with me. Went back again to do something a little lighter and he is literally a magical human person. The color he has done is phenomenal- every time, totally flawless, and every time it turned out just how I wanted it even when I was switching things up. He's been doing hair for over 15yrs and is a true master. Honestly everyone at QE seems incredible, but really- he takes the cake in my opinion!! I just hope he can still pencil me in after this review haha:) read more

Epiphann was an absolute pleasure and a total genius. Going into my appointment, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted and I left with a fresh, health hair that perfectly suited what I was looking for. Epiphann was a total joy to talk to and made the appointment so much fun. Planning to book with Epiphann for all my future hair care needs! read more

Got a haircut + color with Alex this afternoon and she did an amazing job. I showed her some pictures and also asked for her recommendations and I am so happy with the end result. Scheduling was easy and the salon was very responsive via yelp's messaging/scheduling system. Glad to discover this gem in my neighborhood. I'll be back. read more

Epiphann is not only super sweet and charming, he was honest, helpful and did exactly what I asked, while also contributing his expertise. Will definitely return. read more

Booked a cut with Alex based on all the positive reviews on Yelp. One word: WOW. As someone who has gotten her hair cut a lot at the best stylists in the biggest cities, I can say confidently Alex is a diamond in the rough. I showed her one picture and she not only executed the cut but made it better.... and was the coolest person to hang/chat with ever! If I could give 6 stars I would. read more

Zdenka at QE is a great stylist. I got so many compliments on my hair today. Zdenka is also great with color and takes time to be thorough and make sure you are happy! read more

My friend and I walked in for a haircut. More specifically, my friend had a trim and got maybe 2 inches trimmed off and I had at least 4 or 5 inches chopped off and more layers added. My haircut was nice and I like it, but it was $85?! I was so shocked, but I paid for it anyway because I didn't know what else to do. I figured at most my friend paid $50 considering how expensive this place is and the fact that her haircut was basically a $35 haircut done in less than half an hr. No, she also paid $85. The prices are ridiculous. I understand this is Belltown, but there's we got ripped off. They should have at least adjusted the price for her. read more

Thank you for the quick response and your patience in trying to figure out a good date and time for me to come in to get my hair done. Communication level with this business is very professional.. I can't wait to come in for my appointment!! I'm adding a few pics to give u an idea of what I want as far cut and color ideas. read more

See all

Jonathan the owner is the best hair dresser I have ever had. He listens to what you want and makes sure your hair turns out the way you wanted. He ALWAYS has a positive attitude. Another thing I love about him is that he takes his time with you. I have never been in an appointment where he's double booked where he needs to swap back and forth. While there he's attention is fully on you. AND, He's a neat freak which helps during covid. Highly recommend him. read more

I just moved to Washington state and needed a cut & color. Very happy with the haircut and hair color services I received from Epiphann. The owner Jonathan referred me to stylist Epiphann, and he did not disappoint. The hairstylists in this place are very high quality and not pretentious. Very experienced and great cuts from the 3 other stylists I watched while my hair color processed. read more

I am so thankful for Epiphann here at Salon QE! First time coming in (thanks to a referral from my sister). I have always wanted to go super blonde almost white and in one session we were almost there. I am in love with my hair. Not only is it naturally blended, and blonder than ever, it is healthy too! Plus he is so incredibly kind and funny and just easy to talk to. Usually at salons I am shy and there is minimal talking or it's awkward but not here with Epiphann! Plus the rest of the staff is so fun and sweet, always asking if you need anything and hyping up your hair. Can't wait to go back! :) read more

I tried to bleach my own hair from a cheap box bleach... It damaged my hair and I did a bad job of applying, missing parts of my hair. I made an appointment with Epiphann and after a consultation he was able to mitigate my patchy bleach job and colored my hair this awesome pastel pink color. He gave me a lot of great advice on hair care and how to keep coloring it myself. I get so many compliments from strangers about my pink hair. Wonderful and professional hairstylist! read more

In town for a visit and found this salon on yelp. It was literally down the street so I gave it a try. The owner took me right away, and made me a cappuccino! The salon is clean and cute.

First time I came here it wasn't the greatest experience but the owner Jonathan reached out to me and and wanted to fix it. He was great! Totally listened to my concerns and what I wanted in my hair color and totally surpassed my expectations. I absolutely love the color and already scheduled to get a haircut and retone (if necessary) before I head out for my birthday trip. Thanks again for everything and the extra goodies. read more

So much work was put into my hair and thought and effort. Couldn't be more pleased. Definitely will be returning. For reference I had brass tones, color damage hair previously, now I have a beautiful ash toned blonde . Highly recommend! read more

Got a bad blonde job at another salon. It's not great running around with an orange/yellow head. Epiphann is an amazing colorist/stylist, fixed my hair in just one visit. I could not be happier with the results. On top of that he's down to earth and so much fun! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I have complete trust in his abilities! read more

I have been going to Jonathan for 5 years now and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. He takes the time to know what exactly it is I am looking for and because of this I have tried new colors and cuts that I never would have trusted anyone else with- -and I have loved my hair more than ever before! Not to mention he is just an amazing person and if there is ever an issue he wouldn't even hesitate to fix it. You are in good hands here. Highly recommend! read more

Zdenka is a wonderful stylist who does amazing color. I've been seeing her for 16 years, following her to different salons and am so glad she is back at Salon QE. It is such a pleasant, comfortable, and clean place to visit. read more

When I moved to Seattle in 2014, I was looking for a hair stylist who was really strong in color. My mom helped me research and found David Hewitt. I knew I found the perfect match after our first appointment. David does an amazing job with warm blonde, cool blonde and strawberry blonde. I like to warm it up in the fall and winter and move to cool in the summer and in 2016 I experimented with red tones and loved it! Not only is he fantastic with color, he is amazing with hair treatments to keep hair healthy. He introduced me to Keratin treatments and it has been a game changer. My hair is now smooth, soft and super healthy even with color. He will also throw on glosses from time to time to really make it shine. He listens to what I want but also provides his expert advice and I end up with a look that makes me super happy and feeling like myself. read more

Epiphann is the best! He did wonders to my crazy long hair. My balayage turned out perfect. Will definitely be coming back!

I've been following David Hewitt around for years. Wherever he goes, I go! He's the only stylist I trust to give me the blonde I want without going harsh or brassy. His cuts are meticulous and he's honest about what will or won't work with your hair. I've never received random compliments about my hair until I started going to him. He is simply the best! read more

Jonathan is a hair genius! I have never in my life had a stylist that I liked enough to regularly go to until I found Jonathan. He has ruined me for all other stylists - I don't trust anyone else to cut my hair anymore. Amazing! read more

I've been seeing Jonathan for 8 years for my cut and color. I followed him from Salon Joseph to Salon QE. We moved to Oly over the summer and I drive up to Jonathan for my cut and color still. It's absolutely worth it. I can't imagine letting anyone else near my hair. I get so many compliments on my hair. He's so incredibly talented. read more

I was a previous client of Jonathan's. When he informed me that he would be starting his own business, I knew I would be leaving the salon I was a patron of for over 14 years. In a few short months, he created Salon QE as a salon to watch. The talent Jonathan brings is paramount. He is, by far, one of the most accomplished and proficient men's stylists in Seattle. Jonathan is one of the rare stylists that you can sit in his chair and get lost in conversation, knowing he will create something neoteric that will allow you to be complimented while you walk down the street. He is caring, hilarious, intelligent and a gift to his clients. I can only imagine how successful Salon QE will be under his leadership. read more

I have been a client of Jonathan's since 2012 and will continue to be his client as long as he's working! He gets texture - I have literally never had even a mediocre cut and color from him. I value the fact that he is honest with me about what cuts and colors will flatter my face, but always works with me so that I leave loving my hair. The salon atmosphere is relaxed and not pretentious. Everyone there is very professional, but again, not pretentious. I highly recommend both Jonathan as a stylist and the salon as a whole! read more
