Headlines Salon — Local services in Seattle

Long story short (at the beginning for others' convenience): the quality of the place far outweighs the price! This place has the best deal out of any hair stylist I've been to.

First, I'd like to give a shoutout to Christine. Though she is working there as a student, she has what I consider professional experience with hair cutting and styling. She spoke with honesty, made great suggestions without being overbearing in the slightest, and was super duper helpful with my first time dying my hair. I didn't have to ask many questions about maintenance since she was giving pointers as we went, but when I did she gave great answers.

The thing that initially brought me in there though was the receptionist. I can't remember who I spoke with over the phone but out of the five different places I called, she was the only one who actually answered what questions I had about the establishment. Two places hung up on me after placing me on hold. One required you to leave a voicemail. The other just kinda...got irritated by the 3 questions I had and hung up. In case anyone else is wondering the same thing about this place, well, I'll post my 3 simple questions below.

Do you take walk-ins? Yeah, they do, which was kinda astonishing. During the call I made beforehand though, I did learn what time they generally wouldn't be busy/have other appointments though. It would probably be for the best to make an appointment here if you're doing something as drastic as I did (which was getting long hair cut short and dyed. I feel a little guilty about something so major with such little notice, but they were super nice nonetheless).

What is the average price range for a haircut? I believe they told me about 40-80$, which was accurate to the actual price I paid for the haircut. I believe I only had to pay 44$ for the expense of the cut in itself, but with the bleaching/dyeing included it was 86$. Considering how this haircut's going to work for me a long while and they provided great service (and free tea), I have absolutely no qualms over it. They earned it.

What are the hours? 9-9 most days. I can't remember their weekend hours, and I have no clue as to the schedules of any employees or whether or not they disclose that information. But hey you can...

Great hair dressers, poor management!

I’ve gone here for years and enjoyed cuts and colors from the various staff. The young hairdresser was new but talented. She colored my hair beautifully but told me she wasn’t trained yet on how to cut hair. She told me I would have to come back to see someone else for a cut. While I appreciate her honesty. The management/scheduling agent wasted my time, setting me up with someone who couldn’t complete the appointment. No matter, she’s learning. But then she charged me an additional $80 for a gloss on top of my $190 partial foil =$270.00!

I did not receive the gloss.

I returned to ask management for a $80 refund for the service I didn’t receive. They tried to tell me the toner was the same thing as a gloss. I’ve had my hair done for 40 years. I know a gloss and toner are different products used for different purposes. All of my foils include toner… even the grocery store foil kits include toners.

I asked for my $80 back or to give me a gloss and they asked me to...

Got my hair colored and cut today by Carly....Amazing job!!!! Grateful for a great cut & color during the pandemic. The best aspect was that the hair color matched my skin tone and I think that that is difficult to achieve. So, without makeup on I won't look weird or washed out and when I do wear makeup I won't need to make special purchases of makeup in order to get everything to line up together. The color also really helped how my eyebrows look now as everything looks more natural as in hair, skin-tone & eyebrows lining up. Carly is a "hair whisperer" .......As an aside: I have issues with frizzy hair....sigh...the products used & recommended by her REALLY worked so...bye, bye frizzy hair:) I wanted to give it a couple of weeks to be sure & I am really sure now (before I edited posting). The products recommended to me by Carly 100,000 percent removed all of my frizz that I had battled for YEARS!!! Frizzy hair is a NIGHTMARE:( Thanks so much...
