Unfortunately my last visit to the salon didn't go to well. I asked for a "bronde". My hair was already very brassy after lightening from a few months back and I wanted a change. Wanted to go darker with some lighter highlights. It was December 23rd and I was leaving the country for a couple of months on the 25th of December. I didn't think there could be any problems after going brown from blonde so I went to the salon very confident. The end color was very warm, chestnut like (not my undertones at all) all over and my front was white/grey. But I was assured that it will go a little blonder. When I went home and looked at it in the mirror with good light it looked pretty horrid, I noticed my front was completely burnt off. I was left with white stiff broken off pieces. I had small grey bangs. I went to the salon and addressed my concerns about overbleached hair and bad color job on the 24th and the stylist tried to get rid of most red undertones but couldn't tone down the burnt pieces, these were still white and when I asked about it being burnt off she denied that it was her fault. I didn't have time to have it corrected again I was leaving the country December 25th and went to a good hair salon in Europe right after xmas and was taken care of right away even though they were slammed with work before New Years Eve because they saw the damage that was done and toned it down right away to normal color. It took maybe 30 min. Later I attended restoring treatments to try and help nourish the hair that was melted off in the Pinup Salon. It still looks bad because the hair that was bleached off started splitting and it's very uneven, more hair was breaking apart too. I used to part my hair in the middle but now I have to part it to the side to cover the grey broken of bangs that was created in the Pinup Salon. Now I have to wait till my unwanted bangs grows back for a year or so... Edit: Sorry, but no. It's not new growth, it's breakage from overprocessing the hair. The hair is uneven, dry, wavy and splits at ends. Also I didn't have bangs before I came to your salon. It all appeared after the visit. It's been almost 3 months and my grey bangs didn't warm up to "a blonde" like i was told either. I toned my hair neutral brown twice already and the white comes through very fast and it doesn't feel like warming up... Salon just doesn't know how to or have experience with working on low...
Read moreI chose Pin Up salon because of the laid back vibe and I was looking for someone who did amazing #vividcolor. I ended up in Suzie's chair, and let me tell you internet strangers, she is utterly amazing, talented and so much fun.
It is so hard to find a good stylist, and I found a great one. I had a color request that 3 other stylists turned down, but not Suzie. The color it turns out, had to be custom made, and Suzie is a magical unicorn who literally glanced at my inspiration photo and made the color exactly as I requested. It turns out that one of her many amazing talents is color theory, and she is a master. She will underplay her talents, but don't let that fool you, she is one of the most talented stylists I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She has won numerous awards, beaten Master stylists in competitions and her work is just stunning. I thought my old stylist was talented, and she was, but Suzie is in a league of her own. Really unassuming and down to earth, she will blow you away. She said one of her favorite things to do is have a client bring in a reference, like a leaf from a tree or some random color and she will make it happen. Suzie also loves doing #galaxyhair, #unicornhair #blondes #brunettes and anything you can imagine. Please take this as a sign that you need to book her. She is very, very #lgbtqia friendly, anything goes friendly and will entertain you for the hours you are in her chair.
Also love that the vibe of the salon is just down to earth. If you are looking for a high end salon with attitude, this will not be your place, but it is obvious the owner is passionate about making the clients feel like they are royalty for a day while being super laid back and comfortable.
Please, please, please book Suzie for your next cut and color. She has won numerous awards for a reason, she may be one of the best stylists in Seattle.

Read moreI went to the salon for the first time about three weeks ago. I was on the look for a stylist because my older sister who was a award winning color specialist, moved about 3 hours away. I'm very particular about color and my hair. Let me tell you guys, I was not disappointed at all. This salon exceeded my expectations. The stylist I had, Bre was absolutely amazing. I came in there with a mess of a dye job because I thought you know how hard can it be? I was wrong. Anyway, she was so outgoing and listened to exactly what I wanted and we both agreed upon the colors that would work best with what I had going on. She would carry on conversations and she was very personable. I felt like I was having conversation with a friend. She did a amzing job. I now have my beautiful cotton candy fantasy hair because of her and I can't go anywhere without getting compliments. Its spit pink and blue hair and I am absolutely in love. If you want a down to earth atmosphere, amazing color, and a stylist that listens, this is the salon to goto. I will definitely be coming back for touch ups and all my other hair dying needs....
