Great hair with no stress at a great price – Hair salons terrify me. After years of outrageously overpriced, mediocre cuts at high end salons that generally left me feeling poor and vaguely inadequate, Phase 3 is a welcome change. Appointments are easy to get, the decor is functional and comforting, the stylists are approachable and helpful, and the prices cannot be beat. Yes, this is a training salon, but most people have worked elsewhere before coming here, and they always work with a trainer for their first year before be... read more

Where are the trainers? – I have been to Phase 3 3 times now, and have never once seen a "trainer." That is important, because many people may think that, like at other big-name training salons, you get the benefit at Phase 3 of having a "teacher" there to monitor what students are doing to your hair. My experience has been 0 for 3, and I am suffering the daily uglies from the most ridiculous, uneven haircut I think I have ever had. In all fairness, I will say that the first time I went to Phase 3 I was extremely pleased wit... read more

look great & have $ left to leave the house again – I received one of the best haircuts I have ever had by Audrey about a month ago and my hair still looks really great! I got solid & welcome advice about a suitable haircut for me. Years ago I visited Gary Manuel regularly--until I could no longer afford to go. My hair hadn't been the same since until I visited Phase 3. Definitely go. The people are nice. There is no pressure to buy or be anything that doesn't interest you. The price allows for regular upkeep!!

Champagne quality, soda pop price – I have been going to Phase 3 and Gary Manuel for more than 10 years now. After a fantasy makeover on Rodeo Drive in L.A., I asked where in Seattle I could get the same kind of quality upkeep, and more than one of the $X00 per cut stylists there named Gary Manuel, citing its reknown training program and high standards, and they even recommended trying out the fresh new talent at Phase 3. Those high end professionals knew their stuff. I have never been disappointed with every cut and color t... read more

Gary Manuel's hands-on training salon offers fresh talent at rock-bottom prices. – The Scene A force to be reckoned with on the Seattle salon scene, the Gary Manuel trio of salons offers its employees the full spectrum of hairdressing education, from the basics to full-fledged salon work. After a two-year course at the Capitol Hill institute and an internship at the Gary Manuel parent salon next door, stylists are given hands-on experience at this training salon before their certification. The hip, edgy room is wide-open, wi... read more

Keep on Coming Back – I've been coming here for 4 years now and its AWESOME! I recommend all my friends to come here. Its definately a bargain for what your getting: trained staff, friendly atmosphere and if your worried about sales pressures, the hair stylists will tell you what products they put in your hair and in the end ask you if you need anything else and thats it. The hair color/foils are great, they put a lot of time into making it good. They do book up fast, so call atleast 4 weeks ahead of time to get the date and... read more

Great Salon! – You get the luxury of a top of the line salon with fantastic staff and lower prices. Erin is a great stylist and she really took the time to explain how I can style my hair at home. It's simple enough for me to do in 30 minutes and the cut is fantastic! I'm extremely happy with my experience.

fabulous, for women and kids especially – both my son and i get my hair cut here. my son sees lindsey, who is much less expensive and better with him (he's 2) than the places that specialize in kids. i see lisa, who calms me down and makes me feel beautiful on even the most stressful days. really worth the money. you get gary manuel experience, with lower prices.

Great haireventually. – I called the salon to tell them that I was on my way before I drove over. (I live in Spokane.) But I ran into massive construction on the way, and it made me late. As soon as I could, I called them to say that I was still coming. And yet they gave away my appointment! I was furious. However, the manager of Phase 3 met me and we worked out a schedule to allow me to get my hair cut by Elle (in the Gary Manuel salon GREAT WORK!) and my color done by Erin (in Phase 3 also, GREAT WORK!) They even gave me a... read more
