I love this hair Salon and Great Haircut from Alexis – The staff lady was so nice when I called to make an appointment. I told her I've never been to Vain before and I'm asian with curly long hair. She immediately recommended me to several hair stylist that would do good on what I want. I decided to go with Alexis to have the hair cut. For sure she was amazing. First, she shampoo my hair with something that smells fantastic and minty, and then gave me a head and neck message. I was totally relax afterward. Then she gave me t... read more

Best Haircut in town... and nicest staff – We recently moved to Seattle and have been trying a number of different hair stylists around town. Both my fiance and I have settled on Vain and more specifically Sam. First of all, the space they use is really interesting. Sam was telling me last time that it was one of the original Nirvana gig spaces or something and the building obviously has a lot of history. The front staff is really helpful and they always have good music playing. I would say that they should have a little bet... read more

Bad service – I went to Kelly to get my black hair colored lighter. Not only did she tell that she didn't know how to go lighter on black hair, but she also has an attitude. She kept leaving and attending to other clients in between while spending very little time on getting my hair done. Overall the service was pathetic and I'll not recommend VAin to anyone.

LOVE THIS PLACE – I went to Kelly for extensions and she was great. I had really short hair and she made it look perfect! The cut she gave me after works well. They have made a new client out of me for sure.

So So – I have been her twice and was never very impressed considering the staff's attitude. Just because they are in an art studio doesn't mean they are all that. I didn't go there for the art, I wanted to get my hair done. I thought it was pretty pathetic that they can't color your hair on the first visit. Who is really going to get their hair cut and then go back to get it colored. I don't know about you guys, but I hardly have time in my life for one hair appointment let along two. My stylist was nice enough, but the sta... read more

I love going to see Sharon at Vain. I have been to many different salons in Seattle and was terribly disappointed everywhere I went until I returned to Vain. Now, I can't imagine going anywhere else. Sharon is super cool. I trust her completely (at least when it comes to hair). She has lots of great ideas and comes up with something unique every time I see her. Sharon does a fantastic job with colouring my hair. It looks good every time and stands out as a professional colouring job. I get lots of comments from visiting Shar... read more

Welcome back layers – I was so excited about the results of my new haircut on Friday with Katie, I had to tell somebody. Her stylist review said she was great with layers and that's what my hair was in desperate need of. I'd been hesitant to get layers again because my fine yet coarse hair always reacted poorly and I typically ended up regretting it. After going to Katie for a cut seven weeks ago, she gently eased me back into the world of layers. I was hooked and went back a few days ago for more which resulted in oodles of... read more

Fun and professional crew, inviting atmosphere. – First off, I found Vain here on City Search and went because of the great reviews, so I thought it only right that I contribute to the praise-pot since I've already benefited from it. I should also tell you that I really kind of hate my hair, its very fine and not thick at all ? hard to manage since it tangles up so easily and I can?t use 99% of products. That being said I came to Valentine after not having had time for a cut for way too long, probably about 8 -9 months?my ha... read more

Sharon rocks! Thanks for 'hip'ing up my style! – I'd had long, wavy, blah hair for a long time. Sharon gave me a fantastic mid-length cut that makes me feel very hip and stylish. And she also recommended the right product and tools (the best flatiron) that makes keeping the style super easy. She also gave me great highlights, and the kind that i don't have to keep up so often (cause i'm lazy!). All my friends have continued to comment in raves about my hairstyle and its been over a year. She's got that cool accent too!
