This was my first time at Sublime Hair, and I'm so glad I finally came in! I had a gift card and booked with Noah, he was absolutely fabulous. He listened to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and did such a great job on my cut. I left feeling fresh and confident. The salon itself is clean, bright, and welcoming. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, and the vibe was relaxed but professional. I was able to find parking just a block away for a reasonable price, which made the whole experience even easier. I'll definitely be coming back to Noah for future haircuts. read more

Beware of this business, especially NOAH & the owner Kelly! l never write reviews, so this is serious as I thought that in this highly disrespectful case, it would be a service to community to spread the word & make others aware how this place treats people (especially when you put your feelings forward how wrongly you are being treated & ask them to be respectful) Noah was highly disrespectful, Unprofessional & physically assaulted me-pushed me forcefully at my appointment, explained below. Noah & Kelly don't know how to treat customers with respect, don't listen patiently to customer complaints before saying/ imposing their own views/opinions & don't even apologize after being extremely disrespectful. FULL APPOINTMENT: Noah is one of the most RUDE hairstylist & humans I encountered. With inadequate etiquette in talking/listening. Very impatient in listening, argumentative, stepped over my shoes, suppressed & cut my points off multiple times, when I tried to explain how I wanted my balayage. Not welcoming or friendly. He was being condescending & disrespectful to my own views/ideas. Unbelievable! If you will need a couple minutes or more to elaborate your ideas, he wouldn't just listen till the end, PERIOD. For lack of patience & respect, he interrupted my points, loudly imposing his own opinions in a bossy & rude tone. RAISED VOICE & FRUSTRATION ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES. While feeling suppressed due to this kind of conversation, I was shocked at one moment when I was simply expressing my thought, & he suddenly cut me & angrily SHOUTED "you're not listening to me". Look at his Audacity. I don't visit a hair salon to listen to a loud barber. Finally, after he shouted on me in this bossy tone, my limit was over, & I indicated to him that he is being disrespectful, so I won't book him again, then he became extremely angry & behaved in a completely unacceptable/shocking way. He quickly lost his temper, angrily pushed the color tray away in front of me & left while the chemical was still in my hair, behaved in this hostile manner (which I haven't ever seen before in such business) Owner Kelly came but denied Noah's mistake & didn't apologize at all, when I asked. She favored Noah & didn't even ask him to apologize. I asked her 2-3 times to accept mistreatment from their side & apologize, she ignored & disrespectfully said "you should just stop talking now". And had the audacity to ask me to get out of salon. My hair was still dripping wet & water falling everywhere. I told her that I will dry my hair with towel (which was their responsibility but denied to do) & I will leave when water will not be dripping all over my clothes. Noah came back, manhandled my personal property(bag) without my permission & then as I was just leaving, he physically assaulted me- forcefully touched & pushed me 6-7 times with his hands towards the door, (even after strictly warning him multiple times to not touch me). KELLY FAVORED THIS ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR FROM NOAH. Please a request to all women, stay safe and beware of Noah, he was very aggressive, got easily frustrated, doesn't know his boundary & physically assaulted me at the salon. He quickly lost his temper and threw the color tray away in front of me, behaved in this shocking and unacceptable manner after being told that he is not listening properly (which i haven't ever seen before in any business). For lack of my better judgment, I realized this behavior only in my 2nd appointment (although his behavior was rude & did improper hair color (for lack of listening) even in 1st, but he told me it was a misunderstanding, so I gave him a benefit of doubt & a 2nd chance in hope for good. Dear people, please beware, the owner favored and accepted this kind of unacceptable behavior too and didn't even ask him to apologize after I told and asked the owner as well as Noah to be respectful and apologize. We all are entitled to ask for our own 'right to respect'. No one has the right in our good society to treat anyone this way. If you behave/treat people improperly, your license needs to be banned. read more

Yesterday was my first time at Sublime. My appointment was with Noah. Noah had great suggestions and gave me an awesome haircut. Have booked my next appointment and doing color. Noah had great ideas. Can't wait. Thank you Noah. I found the right salon and hairstylist. read more

Cannot say enough amazing things about this Salon and Erica. My super long brassy blonde hair had been through years of at home box dye, it was a mess. Orange tones everywhere. Erica completely transformed it to the perfect tone of blonde while keeping it so healthy. Not only did she go above and beyond with the result, she's so warm and welcoming. Absolutely love my results. Super fair pricing, professional atmosphere and expert level color service. Will only be going to Erica from here on out! read more

Awesome service Love the look afterwards Price is fair too Definitely will come back regularly read more

Sublime Salon - Colored hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been with Kelly at Sublime (and before Sublime) for 19 years! She is the absolute BEST colorist in Seattle. She knows exactly what to do to achieve the color and results you want in your hair journey. She is honest, and a true professional in the hair industry. Eddie is also a gem and does the BEST Brazilian blowouts you could imagine. I've had other people apply them and couldn't believe the difference in the results after Eddie started doing them. He's absolutely the best. I love the space and the location and can't imagine going anywhere else. People comment on my hair all the time and ask where I go to get it done. read more

For nearly two decades, Erica has been my trusted confidante in the realm of hair color. With each visit, she effortlessly proves why she's not just a stylist but a visionary artist in her craft. I'm frequently asked, "Who does your hair?!" Which the question in itself, is the best kinda compliment from another female ;) And her expertise extends beyond technique; she's a true listener. Erica understands the look I'm going for even if I'm terrible and describing it. I've had every service she's offered in our 18 plus years together, and she's still making be feel confident as I'm graying. She's an essential part of my beauty/mental heath routine, and I wouldn't trust anyone else to keep me looking cooler than I am. read more

Oh boy. I come all the way from Redmond just to see Levi. He is the best hair stylist I have ever met. Levi takes care of my hair for over 10 years and I have never been disappointed once. Sometimes I don't even know what to do with my hair and is tips, ideas, and experience makes all the difference. Unfortunately my last hair color and balayage was done done right and since Levi not o my cuts hair but now he colors as well I decided to let him decide what to do with the messy hair I got into. As usual, the end results was AMAZING!! I could not be happier. He fixed my hair with all over color and balayage and it looks fabulous!! The hair salon in general is super cute and has a modern style decor. We can also find park spot all way around the building, making it less stressful to park in Seattle. I am overall super happy with the service I got here. Thank you!! read more

Finally, finally, after more than 6 months not getting my hair cut or colored due to the viral infestation of America, I was treated to a complete make over by the artisans at Sublime. My two surgeons were the master colorist Erica Samp, and the owner/cutter-stylist David Daley. My hair was a "hot mess," stringy, with ugly gray curlicues, my head looked like a kettle interlobate moraine. Hats covered this bird's nest for 5 months. For a while, I even slept with a cap on - no lie. I didn't want to frighten my wife in the morning. In two hours, Erica and David turned me into a new and younger man. People who saw me afterwards thought I had plastic surgery. Not only did I look younger, but I also looked like I lost 15 pounds. I have no idea how they did this. I have been administered to by hair stylists in Paris, NYC, Milwaukee, Louisville, and even Salt Lake City, no relation to New York City; same cadence different reality. This was my best color and cut in decades. David and Erica can't make me good looking, that ideal left the station in 2008. However, I look one hundred times better. It was a fun, tidy, safe, and well managed two hours. Sublime is a professional, world class, big city salon. read more

The entire team at Sublime are chock full of amazingly talented and truly kind, lovely human beings. I've been to the salon now around four times and I've had a 5 star (plus) experience every time with each individual I've had the pleasure of working with. The team works hand in hand with one another to ensure a seamless interaction from start to finish. Erica is a badass colorist and angel of a person. She listens diligently to your needs and delivers far beyond your expectations. Noah took me from medium length to long hair with beautiful extensions and back to a cute bob that I never knew I could pull off, but he made it happen. Kelly, the salon owner, is always there to help her team and just simply add a beautiful friendly touch to the overall environment. I would recommend Sublime along with Erica, Noah and Kelly to absolutely anyone! read more

Sublime Salon - Hair color by Erica and extensions/cut by Noah! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Thank you Eddie, for my Holiday Party trim! Sitting in your chair makes any day better.

I've been going to Erica and David since before they moved to open Sublime, so a little over 4 years. I've been traumatized by hairstylists in the past, so once I found them I will never go anywhere else. Erica does color and is fantastic, she listens to what you want and is very personable, she also takes your lifestyle into account, for me she knows I'm only going to have my hair colored 2, maybe 3 times a year and my balayage always grows out beautifully, even through quarantine. The photo attached is during quarantine and I think the last time I got my hair colored was October. David cuts hair and he does an amazing job, which for someone with really fine hair, but a lot of hair can really appreciate. He always wet and dry cuts it to make sure everything lays perfectly. I recommend both stylists 100%, you may have to wait to see them, but I promise they're worth it! read more

Erica has been my colorist for 16 years and during that time I moved away and tried to find someone that is as talented at foils but I never could. Erica is not only extremely skilled, but is one of the kindest, sweetest, friendliest, most genuine people you'd ever be lucky enough to meet. She makes you feel comfortable and is very easy to talk to. Her mastery of her trade is unparalleled- she is simply the best. read more

I've been getting my hair colored by Erica for YEARS now and her skill is UNMATCHED. She's extremely talented, works fast, and is an absolute delight as a person! Even the hair stylist for my wedding asked where I got my hair colored because it looked so natural! I truly will never go to anyone else and will follow Erica to the ends of the earth. read more

Kelly is phenomenal, she's been doing my blonde foil and balayage for ten years and I am always confident I will walk out of the salon with beautiful highlights the way I wanted or better. She has a great attitude, focuses her attention on you, and is fun to hang out with; I look forward to my time in her chair. I know Kelly cares about her clients because I had a double mastectomy and she washed and styled my hair when I couldn't, and she refused payment. I have asked her questions about how to solve my hair woes and she always has a solution. Not sure why I'm telling you about how amazing Kelly is, because I don't want it to become more difficult to get appointments with her. I better login to the portal to easily schedule my next six months of appointments before the rest of you catch on. read more

This salon is my go-to. Erica provides excellent service, she goes above and beyond to make me feel confident. She's colored my hair on several occasions and provided me with excellent instructions on how to better care for my hair. It's never looked better and I highly recommend her services! read more

I can't rave enough about the wonders of Erica, master colorist. She is kind, caring, personable, patient, and funny. She listens intently and makes the best plan of action for my needs and wishes. Her innate artistic gifts, coupled with her expert and extensive knowledge, make for a happy and relaxed experience every time. I feel equally appreciative and happy with Noah, who cuts and styles my hair. Equally wonderful in every way. I must say, the entire crew is warm, friendly, and professional. The environment is pretty, immaculately clean, and comfortable. Honestly, I couldn't dream of a better experience than their services. Thank you!!! read more

I needed a haircut, and I couldn't be more happy with the choice of Sublime salon. Ann is wonderful, she did the cut and styling so well! Highly recommend! read more

Kelly has been coloring my hair for over a decade. I love sitting in her chair and asking her what we should do this time. She makes me laugh out loud, has the biggest heart, tells the funniest stories, recommends terrific podcasts or shows, all while making my hair (and my friends' hair) look incredible. read more

You can stop your search, sublime is the place. I've been seeing Erica for color and David for cut for 5 years now, and let's just say that if I wanted children, I'd make them both godparents (no hypothetical child of mine has bad hair). I've never been less than thrilled by their expertise, you show them a picture and they don't just make it happen... they can tell you exactly how it'll look with your hair type/texture etc. and it's always spot on. I can't tell you how many times people have stopped me on the street or in a store to compliment my hair and ask me what salon I go to; even earlier today at the pharmacy. @introverts, they won't force you into conversation, you can read your book, or work, or C. All of the above. Erica & David, take my money forever. read more

Sublime Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've had more than one traumatic hair experience at other salons in Seattle and Sublime is where I come to fix them all. Anne and Erica are best in class at what they do and the salon experience is professional, comfortable, and worth every penny. I won't be going to any other salons now that I've found this dream team at Sublime! read more

*UPDATE REVIEW ON COLOR* Kelly & David, owners of the salon, are both talented and very PROFESSIONAIL artists After posting my previous review, Kelly immediately contacted me and offered to fix my hair at no charge. She was able to get me back in within 4 days, and discussed a realistic pathway to get me closer to my original color goal. She listened, asked questions, and provide options throughout the process. In the end we went with highlights to even out the random color patches. David worked his magic on my bangs and removed all the choppiness from before. I truly appreciate the owners taking charge and making my hair SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDID. They are both very personable and attentive. Great team. I'm extremely pleased with the results. A+ for professionalism. Gold star for execution. Thank you both. read more

Written by my wife: This hip and trendy salon in Belltown did not disappoint. After walking by the salon daily for over a year, I decided to give it a try. The perfect excuse for a mini-makeover...as if I needed an excuse. I had "virgin" hair and was really wanting something more "summery" for my upcoming vacation. I scheduled about a month out with no problem, therefor I'm not sure how easy it would be to get in on shorter notice. Anne, my stylist, really listened to what I was wanting and offered expert suggestions for what would look best with my skin tone and natural hair color/texture. Together we decided on the best trim, framing, and balayage colors for me. The whole process took about 3.5hrs, but it was so worth it. The prices were slightly more reasonable than other salons in Seattle as well. I will definitely be visiting Anne again when I'm ready to change it up! Jordyn read more

I have been looking for a new hair salon and found Sublime after a lot of Yelp searching. Their website is a great resource because they have transparent pricing per stylist and you can easily make an appointment on their website. I made an appointment with Stacey for a haircut ($60 women's cut) and was promptly greeted when I arrived for my appointment. I described to her what I was looking for and showed her a reference photo. She easily grasped the concept and finished my haircut within 1 hour. It was a great experience as Stacey made conversation and we didn't have much awkward silence. She also gave me some styling tips and styled my hair before I left the salon. Would definitely recommend! read more

This review is long overdue, but I owe it to Kelly and David who are both wonderful. I don't live in Seattle anymore but I was so happy to have found these to hair wizards. Kelly is great at color and was able to keep my balayage intact year-round. David was the best at getting me a great cut too! I miss them both and would highly recommend to anyone in the area. You won't be disappointed! read more

Kelly is truly the new love of my life I came to her after a poor experience elsewhere and she just confirmed my suspicions that I was taken advantage of. I literally just left but couldn't wait to post a review. She provided stellar service (for a more than reasonable price) and has such integrity for what she does. My hair wasn't even fully dry before I decided she would have a returning customer for as long as she'll have me! Couldn't recommend Sublime more read more

Marisa is new to the salon and extremely professional, talented stylist and fun. Proficient with colors, women's and men's cuts.

Kelly is absolutely amazing! I booked a partial foil, since that's all that was available before my birthday. However, during the appointment I asked if she could foil my whole head to blend out the grown out portion. She agreed as long as I was ok with not having my hair fully blow dried. She told me to let her know if I wanted the color adjusted when it was full dried. Sure enough, when I went home I wanted to go a bit darker (I have difficult to lift Asian hair). Kelly squeezed me in the following morning, and did not charge anything extra. The blending work came out beautifully, and really appreciate the amazing customer service! read more

David cuts my hair when I'm in Seattle and he's the best! Very professional and he knows his stuff. Definitely recommend.

I did balayage with Anne today and I was so pleased with the final result. Beside the fact that Anne did a great job, she knew how to guide me when I was confused and she gave me great advices. As result, the final result pleased me very much. read more

Since moving to Seattle I haven't gone to a hair salon. I used to go to a salon in Bellevue but they upped their prices and it's now further away. When I found sublime it was a perfect fit - walking distance from my place in Belltown and reasonably priced as well. I saw all of the rave reviews for Stacey and booked an appointment. It was super easy to book at get an opening right away! Stacey was so personable and talked through exactly what I wanted. I usually come into salons with a picture in mind but for this session I didn't have time to find one so this is the result of Stacey asking me questions and finding the perfect balance! I love the layout of the salon and location by Tilikum. The whole service for the partial balayage and cut took 2 hours which was perfect. I'm looking forward to visiting Stacey again! My hair has finally found a home in Seattle! read more

Sublime Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been here 3 times now and I'm confused why the prices are so high because it doesn't seem worth it. I've never been to a salon that doesn't style your hair after your service, especially with the price you're paying. I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Saw Kelly for a simple root foil to break the base & add consistency. We do it every 2-3 months. In between apts. I maintain base color at home to cover gray. I'd booked a partial (vs. usual full foil) to keep costs down. At consult, was up-sold to an "extended foil" because partial foil would only cover so much...I explained budgetary constraints due to being on medical leave/disability but wanted to do it right so agreed to extended. Then she mentions costly baby lights because regular foil only covers so much. I've been getting my hair done by her for years & this was new...we've done baby lights in the past and they weren't itemized as extra charges...I agree to baby light two strips of hair where I part it, for $195. +add on Olaplex #2 (She's said she always puts olaplex #1 in bleach & it's more effective if we add #2). I stressed not to overlap bleach, my hair was finally recovering from prior damage. Once she realized we'd spend more time than planned she interrupted me mid-sentence during consult to "go mix color". Came back, started foiling & mentions a few unsolicited treatments without transparency re: time involved, effects on hair (damaging), or pricing (extra costs not agreed to at consult). I trusted she'd take into account my hair texture, condition, etc & these were simply to help. Unbeknownst to me there'd be surprise charges at checkout & extra damage, & time sitting at the bowl on my part. Mid-way thru She accepts a last minute apt. (double booked) & became distracted running between us. Foils removed too soon, undeveloped in the back. I was left at shampoo bowl for 15 mins with "Malibu shampoo" marketed a "clarifying shampoo" (later found out it was a color remover! Noooo remover?!) while a full balayage was applied to other client, my scalp was burning by the time she rinsed, then a "root smudge" (very dark toner) was put on roots & Olaplex #2 on ends & rinsed in under 5 mins. Disappointing as #2 is supposed to be applied directly after bleach with olaplex #1, from roots to ends, for 10 mins minimum. The one add-on I agreed to splurge for was overshadowed by color remover (her idea) & shares space with a brown toned (her idea)!! Next the ends were toned with something that made no difference whatsoever. I didn't get to discuss results with Kelly-she assigned Another employee to complete the job who ripped thru my hair with a brush & super hot blowout. I saw the dryness & color disparities & was annoyed. Kelly resurfaced to present the bill. After swiping card my jaw dropped seeing the total + add-ons that hadn't been itemized before (nor communicated the charges at consult or thereafter, I'd of declined if given an opportunity). She added charges for extra babylights, extra toner, Malibu "shampoo", Olaplex #1 AND #2 (I agreed to add #2 b/c I was told in every apt including this one, #1 is added to bleach as standard practice). I brought it up & was told I was wrong, I was "given a discount" & she walked back to tend to other client, Shutting it down. When I got home I saw the results & damage! Bleach overlap turned spots of orange in my hair, root smudge toner dropped into blonde leaving brown spots. Color remover lifted color to leaving white spots. The tips were white & untoned. It was Like a bad spray paint Job!! There were new dead ends, dryness, breakage. I emailed seeking resolution & my points were ignored. She focused on all the extra time she spent (which she took initiative to add) & how She overlapped bleach to cover brassy roots I did at home, (they were kinda brassy which didn't bother me, I was going to cover them when grays showed up,...)... & shut down the conversation. . I took time to provide valuable feedback to be disregarded as a tool who's satisfaction or service didn't matter. There was no apology, accountability, no offer to fix (I would've declined because there was nothing more to do), or Refund, no thank you for your time. I see she states 100% guarantee of their work & that isn't true. I've been a long-standing, good paying client of years, referring others also. This took place around Christmas time. It was clear the goal wasn't to be sure I left satisfied and the health of my hair in tact instead it was about unscrupulous ways to nickel and dime me to make sure I left there playing no less than 320+ dollars!!!! I suggest finding a salon that cares about their customers. (PS-The owner's defensive account in response to this review is inaccurate. I did thank her for her time which was more consideration than b I received. I didn't rave to everybody that I loved nor was anything "on the house"). read more

Sublime Salon - They didn't have my appointment in the books. Make sure you triple reconfirm! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overall my hair was looking like a hot mess. I've been going to the same place for years, and switching places can be scary, especially when your used to going to places like great clips. You get used to messed up cuts and lots of hats. But I had heard such good things about David. He worked an absolute miracle on my hair and trust me it needed it. He has brought my hair back to life giving it a lot of dimension and volume. The condition of my hair hasn't looked or felt better in years. I am so grateful for David and would highly recommend him. He is professional and deserves recognition. How you treat people really does matter!! He is kind and has such a warm energy. In fact, everyone I've interacted with at Sublime thus far has been wonderful. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

It took so long to find a stylist since moving to Seattle last year. I thought I had finally found one at another salon until she left to teach. Needless to say, I felt like I had been dumped and was completely heartbroken. Finding a new stylist is almost as tough as finding a life partner. No joke. Like a life partner, you want to find a stylist that you communicate well with, can trust them with your heart (in this case it would be my treasured locks), and that they (your stylist) can feel they can be open and honest with you should you want to go for a blunt bang when your face shape wasn't made for that look. All in all, a phenomenal stylist is not an easy find. I was somewhat reluctant to trust again after my recent break-up but knew I had to. I owed it to myself, and to my hair. I searched the interwebs long and hard, filtered through various reviews and comments by other Yelpers, and stumbled upon Sublime Salon. After chatting with Sublime through the Yelp portal I made an appointment to see Stacey for highlights and a bang trim. Highlights can be tricky and after showing Stacey several photo references of highlights I wanted, she looked at my hair and mixed up some color. What stuck out to me is that she used the word "buttery" when referring to my highlights. It was as if she had reached into my brain and grabbed the very adjective I was thinking of when thinking of how I wanted my highlights to look. After all the mixing, washing, and drying took place, I could see the highlights come through. But wait......... she wasn't done. After styling my hair into loose beach waves I really saw this vision I had had in my mind for months come through. To say that I was happy was an understatement. It is so nice to say with confidence that I've finally found my hair stylist. Thank you, Stacey! read more

I had a horrible bad service with Erica in June 4th that needed color correction at another salon a few days later. I had just had highlights done a few weeks earlier and just needed a root touch up at the crown area only. The color Erica used darkened by hair dramatically to a drab brown. I notice problem more after I left when I went home. It was so bad I contacted another salon and got in tuesday June 7th. I had to have highlights redone then. I left phone message at salon and requested a refund and haven't gotten a response yet. Salon is also had to book an appt so only once worked with Erica before. I have worked with other stylists who I never had problem with. She also had a terrible attitude so overall it was the worst service I have ever had. I would not go back again and do not recommend the salon. I had to cancel 2 events that weekend and wore a scarf on my head until color was corrected. read more

My hair-colorist is wonderful, Erica is the greatest! I went from black to blond and my hair looks amazing. I've never had so many compliments from strangers. My hair doesn't feel like straw because she took the time to make sure it's processed correctly. read more
