Kim Hair Salon — Local services in Seattle

I’ve been a customer at Kim Hair Salon for the past 1.5 years. Have gotten multiple haircuts and perms and would highly recommend Mrs. Kim especially if you’re an Asian male lookin for a cut. Prices have increased by a couple extra dollars since I started going but even still I don’t think you’ll find a better value hair salon for the quality of haircuts (currently $20 w/o tip for a men’s haircut, $65 w/o tip for a perm and cut). Highly recommend!

Things to lookout for if you plan on visiting:

make sure to call in advance to set an appointment! She is very busy with clients all day so I would suggest calling right when she opens to ensure she can answer the phone. If not you’ll have to try multiple times. She is the only person working there so be patient! I promise it’s worth the wait She is CASH only! So be sure to bring enough for the cut/perm as well as tip. have a picture of what you want. It’ll help her achieve the look that you want. For myself personally, i specifically tell her instructions such as low-fade on the sides with no undercut, texturize my hair with the texturizing sheers, etc. She is really good at what she does so no worries if you can’t give specific instructions, you can trust her.

I’ve attached pictures of my recent perm/cut. Got tighter curls so I can keep the perm longer. No damage to my hair which is great because I have very thin hair. Sometimes you’re hair will get damaged a little and that’s just the nature of a perm, so be prepared if you do want a perm. If you’ve gotten a perm before, you can let Mrs. Kim know how long you kept the curls in last time and she’ll go with that. For me and my thinner hair, that sweet spot...

DO NOT GO HERE. I don't even know where to start. I recommend that people go elsewhere. Although the price is affordable, the quality of the haircut is very poor. I have long, thick curly hair. No one has ever complained about cutting my hair as much as the person who cut my hair - from the length to how curly it was. I didn't ask her opinion on whether or not I should keep it long, but she kept telling me that it was too long numerous times, I'm not sure why she thought it was okay to do that. I thought it was very poor form. I had a dry cut and she kept pulling on my hair as she was cutting it, which was painful and she didn't continue to wet it down. Then she cut between 3-4 inches off when I had asked for an inch off, along with layers. There was so much of my hair on the floor when she was done cutting my hair and I kept it together long enough to pay her (she only accepts cash and I had to go to the ATM with my poor haircut, but no where on her website does it say that she accepts cash only). It took me so long to grow my hair to that length and I told her several times to keep it long. She didn't even respect my wishes as a client. My hair is so much shorter than I like and I'm disappointed in how I look. I read the reviews and decided to book an appointment. If you have curly hair, long hair or thick hair, she's going to ruin your hair. Please...

Great haircut and great service, I called ahead of time to make an appointment and later they confirmed it again through text. When I went (the hair salon is on the 2nd floor btw, there is an entrance labeled and you walk up the stairs) he taped the mask to my face so he could cut the sides of my hair better. For reference, I usually get a pixie cut with longer bangs and it turned out great, he is very skilled. At the end of the cut he washed my hair and used a lint roller on my clothes so that I didn't have to go home and wash my hair again to get rid of the small cut hairs. It was $45 without tax and tip. Great experience, will...
