He graciously handed me a towel. Dennis was my stylist, who gave me such a thoughtful precision cut. He is a master with his shears. He took his time, reshaped my hair and gave me an elevated look. He has over 30 yrs experience and I can totally tell. Irene was my colorist. She did a great job getting me a dark red/brown all over color. She also gave me alot of tips for visiting around Seattle. She really made my day. The salon is decorated in a really refreshing minimalist style. I really loved the experience. I would return to Seattle just to come to Essensuals London! This place is 5 stars all the way!

I've been coming to Brooke for years now (4, I believe). Before her, I hadn't found anyone that I…read moreloved even though I feel like I had tried out every salon in Seattle. After talking to her for just a few minutes, I decided to let her do what she thought was best and I've trusted her to do the same every time since. I got my hair done for my wedding about a month ago and she told me as soon as I sat down in her chair that we were going to switch it up just a bit because what she had been doing wouldn't photograph as well as the new plan she had in mind. Cue her switching up my color formula a bit and my hair looking unreal in my photos. I seriously had friends, family and my photographers comment on how fantastic my color was. If you are looking for the Best Blonde in Seattle go see Brooke or Effie and let them work their magic!

I went in for a cut and color before a job interview and I know Brooke's magic is the reason I got the second interview.

went to CoCo and Company and Antonio did a really inexcusably terrible, trashy, brassy " partial "…read morefoil on me. He changed me $450 on the color and cut. The cut was great. In retrospect I remember that Antonio did Not show me the back of my head! It was days later when the other nurses I work with commented on how bad the back of my head looked and asked why none of the grey was blended into the rest of my hair, causing it to have a tacky chunky look. Please keep in mind that I had a lengthy consultation before my hair was touched and I expressed wanting a medium size foil and used my fingers to show how wide I wanted. He also said that his partial foils start at the temples to crown. Antonio ONLY foiled my hair from crown to cheek bone and so I had only a layer ( few inches ) of color on top. HE NEVER PUT ANY COLOR IN MY GREY HAIRLINE Keeping in mind that I was so blinded by his phenomena haircut and blow out that I kept telling him how much I loved it. After I saw the back of my head and had negative comments about the color I messaged him about how bad the color is and I sent him the exact same pic of the color that I am posting on here. Desperate to get halfway livable color I convinced myself to give him a benefit of the doubt that he could correct his work, I told him I would let him touch it based solely on his reviews. In r retrospect my guess is that the reviews are either very old or faked. Ultimately he refused to refund me one penny and offered to put a toner on. That's rediculous because what I needed was More bleach not darker. Keep in mind that I showed him pictures of the color I wanted during the consultation. Then he said that he would charge me $220 dollars to fix it. What I need is a COLOR CORRECTION. I'm getting upset writing this review. I didn't want the negative energy of reliving all of this but kept imagining some poor woman having him color her hair for the holidays and felt an obligation to let you know precisely what he did. These pic were taken a few days after the color and are the same ones I sent him when I asked for refund. Darn it I am noticing that there's no option to post pics here but I'll post them on Yelp.com

I went in on a Friday afternoon and in the rush to leave, Lan seems like she took a few short cuts…read more It's my first time hair dying with Lan. I went in not knowing much about color and feel a little taken advantage of. I was clear in the beginning I didn't want red / yellow tints in my hair which is what I ended up with. We could've added more glaze to cover it up but Lan wanted to leave for the Friday. When I said the result was too orangey, she said my hair would change in the sun and her lighting was warm and it only looks like that in the top part of my head because that part is much more dense. I went to another salon to correct the color who thought I'd done it myself from a box. They told me that it was strange that Lan didn't use foil to lighten the hair and the lightest hair would get with that method was orange. They said the only reason to not use foil is the amount of time it took which checked out with how rushed it felt. I had to go to another salon and sit in a chair for six hours to take out the remaining red Orange with foil. I was also told the color job was uneven and was lifting unevenly. Overall it was a total waste of money and a half ass job. Instead of owning up to anything, Lan gave me excuses saying the uneven application made it look natural, etc. She was super friendly and personable though.

I've had the good fortune to be an Ella & Oz customer for three years and recently went in for…read moreradical color change -- dark strawberry blonde to platinum blonde. That put me in the hands of master colorist Jessica, who is excellently knowledgeable, honest about level-setting expectations, and has an admirable focus on hair health (given that I was requesting almost white-blonde hair from a previously dyed base color). She accomplished remarkable results in one sitting, with some clever improvisation, though I needed a second appointment to reach full platinum (due to the condition of my hair). Notably, because this is an Aveda salon, my hair texture remained super soft despite the intense bleaching. They really care for your hair and give you guidelines to maintain it. My second appointment was with Brad, who is a recent hire, gifted colorist, and very pleasant company. He took me to full platinum and gave me advice for keeping my hair color icy. I was more than pleased with the results. I'd like to add a special shoutout to Acacia, who manages appointments and makes you feel very much at home. The vibe in the salon is relaxing and spa-like -- which is a mercy during lengthy color appointments. Cannot recommend this place enough, especially if you are committed to natural, vegan hair care.

Swing Salon also does a great job following COVID guidelines: checking your temperature at the door, upholding occupancy limits, ensuring all equipment is sanitized/sterilized for each client, and requiring a mask at all times for both client and stylist. I felt very comfortable getting my haircut there. Side note: Chad recommended getting both a coffee and a Nutella-covered waffle at Cortona Cafe (next door on the corner), so I did.

Super talented. 2) her prices are fair and reasonable for how good she is 3) she'll always do her best to fit you in ASAP, even if you call last minute 4) she's impressively fast - I have a lot of hair and am used to waiting a long time getting my hair done, but not with Nancy! Whether it's cut or color, she gets my hair done, and done well in record time - and she can see 1 reference pic briefly and replicate it like it's no problem 5) She never pushes product sales or future appointment bookings on you, as has been my experience with hairdressers in the past; she has product for sale and will make a recommendation or suggestion if you need one but I never feel pressured to make an additional purchase or commit to a future booking; she knows her work speaks for itself and her customers will keep coming back. Like me! I found her in 2019 and have been going to her ever since. I was legitimately sad I found her after I had gotten married because the hair color she's been able to do for me is exactly what I wanted for my wedding but couldn't get at the salon I used to go to. I don't go to anyone but Nancy now for my hair needs. I continue to be impressed with her service, speed, and sweetness! She's the best and my hair has never looked better. Here's a pic after a recent color appointment (no cut this time).
