I've been getting my hair done by her for over 5 years now and every time she has left me with exactly what I wanted each session. She tells you step by step when the change is happening. And is very on point with how long your session will go for the day. If something changes, she will let you know unlike other stylists that don't keep you in the loop when you're in the chair for hours. Sharon will always try her best to get your hair to what you want. If it's not gonna all happen in one session she will educate you and let you know if it does take more time. Sharon is by far one of the best hair stylists I've ever had and will always keep going back to her. She is amazing and always keeps the length I want when she gives you a cut and style as well!

After 28 years of searching for the right hairstylist--living on both the East and West Coast--I…read morecan finally say I found "my person": Veronica. She is truly amazing, and I'm so happy with her work that I'm willingly making the hour drive to see her now that she's no longer in Seattle. I originally came to her to fix a bad haircut, and from the first appointment she was thoughtful, precise, and focused on getting my hair healthy and flattering again. Then one day, almost like magic, she gave me the layered haircut I didn't even realize I'd been missing--perfect shape, movement, and exactly right for me. You know a cut is good when a stranger compliments it, and that's exactly what happened. If you've been looking for someone who really understands hair and consistently delivers, Veronica is it.

The customer service wasn't great. I booked an appointment which Veronica cancelled because of a…read moreconflict and I had to reschedule. This is not a problem, but it was an error on her part yet she made me feel like I was the inconvenience. No apology. In person service was also pretty standoffish. The business practice was also was not good. I was going from a long cut to a short cut, have barely wavy hair, and style it straight (have gone short before). She chopped off the majority length of my hair before starting the actual cut, and cut it wet and styled it straight. My hair is straight when wet so there aren't waves to manage and when blow dried it's straight which is what we did. To anyone that is not aware, this is not a traditional curly cut. And common sense might tell you it's not even a non-traditional curly cut. She still charged me for a long haircut and a curly cut. I've tried a real curly haircut before (and determined it wasn't what I like for my hair) and this was not at all the same. I don't know why or how she is classifying this service as a curly cut service. I don't even have thick or coarse enough hair to justify higher pricing. The different prices are on the website but it was unclear that she charges based on where your hair starts even if you don't want an actual long haircut or curly cut. I certainly didn't book that and she didn't communicate otherwise at any point before payment. I could have simply chopped off my own length before going in because that's what she did, and that's what I suggest you do if you still book with her. Honestly, it seemed tacky to me. And unfortunately, the cut itself was terrible. I've had my hair this length before so it's not that, it was just done so badly. She put in a good amount of product and did a lot of blow drying to shape it into something that looked ok in the salon, but it really fell apart after the first wash. I was told it looked like "Dora the Explorer hair" so if that's what you want, this is the place. It's fairly dreadful but at least I didn't get bangs or anything so I can just let it grow out. I preferred to just grow it out rather than have someone that did a bad job with poor customer service try and "fix" it. This was a while back and I posted it originally on google, where the review magically can't be found anymore. Also this is a repost here because somehow the business flagged it and had it taken down.

My short review, if you don't have time to read: Chelsea Jenkins is the bomb hair stylist! If you…read morehave time to read, here is my long winded review (go to the last paragraph to skip the back story leading up to my appointment): I have been wearing my hair colored since 1996. I am of mixed ethnicities - my mother is Vietnamese and my father is Black. My natural hair color is jet black (blue-black in the sun) and I have type 3b curly hair. I am very particular about my hair and I don't trust just anyone to color my hair. As a matter of fact, in the 24 years that it's been colored, only 3 people have colored it. The original guy in Detroit who first colored it, my prior stylist here in Washington, and then my current stylist in California (I moved to Cali in 2006). I usually get my roots touched up every 6-8 weeks and I get blonde highlights in the spring and summer months. Due to COVID-19, salons in Cali still have not been able to open for coloring (only for outdoor haircuts) and it's been 6 months since my last appointment. My hair is so dark and needs 40 volume to be lifted, so it has to be done professionally. I was desperately waiting for my stylist to get approval to open. I had about 4.5 inches of root growth and it was driving me crazy! I ended up having to go to Seattle with my sister for a quick weekend to take care of some business up there. Since Washington salons were open, I had the great idea of going back to my prior stylist in Gig Harbor. I was so happy about the option to go back to her, but it turns out she was on vacation on the dates I was coming to town. I was so bummed and complained to my other sister who lives in Tacoma and owns a hot yoga studio there. She knows that I was apprehensive about letting someone new color my hair. I told her that I might take a chance and try Gene Juarez and asked her opinion about that. She told me that one of her yoga students owned a salon and suggested I go to her instead. That student was Amy, owner of Virde Salon. My sis checked with Amy, but she was booked solid on my dates (which was only 2.5 weeks away) and she referred me to Chelsea. Amy assured my sis that Chelsea was good and would take good care of me. Thankfully, I was able to book a spot on Chelsea's calendar for Friday, 8/14, and then I reached out to her via text, after checking out her work on her IG page, to inquire about a phone consultation before coming in. She had replied that she preferred to communicate via text, but she could do a phone call if I preferred. I was thankful that she was willing to do a call because I really needed to discuss my hair needs and my nervousness about going to someone new. I was fine going to text communication after the initial call. On the phone call, she was very pleasant and seemed very knowledgeable about her craft so I felt more at ease about coming in. The day of my appointment, I arrived at the salon, excited and nervous at the same time. I immediately felt comfortable with Chelsea. We hit it off with conversation like she had been my stylist for years. She made me feel at ease by explaining what she was doing throughout my appointment. I learned some stuff I didn't even know about color that day! Chelsea colored my roots, put in highlights, and trimmed my ends. I explained to her that at home, I usually left the salon with wet hair and let my curls dry naturally. She asked if she could diffuse my hair so that she could make sure that the color match was correct (and so she could make any needed corrections immediately), because if I left with wet hair, I wouldn't see the true color until the next day after it dried and she didn't want the color to be off. I had a bad experience with diffusion before and I didn't want that. She then offered to blow dry and flat iron my hair. I was so excited about this option because my current stylist doesn't blow dry/flat iron my hair. I think it's because I have so much hair, and it's thick. Honestly, it's been over 14 years now so I don't even know the full reason any more, she just doesn't do it. I haven't had my hair flat ironed professionally in probably 25 years! Chelsea said that it was important to her that the client has the full salon experience, which includes walking out the salon feeling transformed. Well, let me tell you, I got the full experience that day! My color was absolutely gorgeous and Chelsea got my hair so straight and it was stunning! I got soooo many compliments from friends and family and strangers all week! I felt so beautiful leaving the salon. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Chelsea did some sort of magic in my hair, because it stayed perfectly straight for a full week, and I only need to lightly run a flat iron over it 2 times in that week. I am so glad to have found Chelsea, and if California salons don't open up for a while longer and I happen to need to go up to Seattle, I'm definitely going to see her again.
