I was lucky enough to find Ross around the time I moved to Seattle several years ago and was happy to follow him to his new salon! Ross does an amazing job on my cut and color. I get regular compliments, even when I'm running in and out of our Seattle rain. Ross is all about keeping the color natural-appearing. This means alot more work for him with tiny strands of hair in each foil, but it comes out looking incredible. Despite coloring my hair for 20+ years, I've never had so many people ask me if my hair is the "natural color" as I have since I moved to Seattle-- always after complimenting me on how the color is so beautiful.
Ross is busy and every time I've come in, he is just finishing up with another client -- meaning I have had the chance to see a lot of his other work. His range is impressive ! Curly hair, dry hair, young and older women, long-dos, short-dos, you name it. Ross is an expert in just about everything.
On more than one occasion, Ross has squeezed me in. He will only do this for his established clients. But I am the type of person who thinks my hair looks fantastic until I needed a haircut like, last week, and need it done ASAP! Ross is an excellent communicator and scheduling is easy both online and over the phone.
In addition to your hair looking amazing, its also a treat to be around Ross. He's such a wonderful person. He is always smiling, always has something interesting to share, and never makes the experience about him. I have learned about Ross and his life because I am interested and genuinely enjoy his company. Ross has many interests and introduced me to several of my favorite restaurants and little shops when I was new to Seattle! But Ross is also very tuned into social cues -- he seems to recognize whatever you're comfortable without one even needing to say. As someone who have left stylists because they just complain about their own issues for my entire appointment, this means alot to me. I always leave Ross's salon feeling beautiful and happy.
To top it all off, The Glamour Palace is ADORABLE! It has a funky 50s vibe that is fun, tasteful, and very comfortable all at the same time. Its in a great location (Ballard) with plenty of street parking. Oh, and Kevin Murphy products, even the color he uses! My hair has never been so healthy.
I hope that you have the good fortune of being able to book with Ross. He is truly a gem. read more
