Ask for Kristin at Vain!!!!! – After seaching high and low for the perfect stylist, the universe finally led me to Kristin down at Vain. She was creative, inventive, accomodating and generous with her time and skills. Kristin is a true professional, a visionary with color and she is very skilled stylist. One of her specialties includes extensions which I recently decided to try for the first time. She did such an amazing and convincing job that now I'm hooked! I have never had so many positive compliments on my hair. Kristin... read more

Absolutely Fabulous!!! – The experience for me at Vain time and time again is simply amazing. I look forward to getting my hair crafted by one of the best - if not the best - hair chickies in Seattle - Liza Gilbert. I have naturally curly hair but somehow she makes me look like I have amazingly gorgeous, healthy, stick straight hair. No one else has been able to accomplish this feat and have me be able to maintain it on a daily basis. I have NEVER had so many compliments on my hair until Liza. Vain has a fun, energetic, ecce... read more

Simply the best! – The best part of Vain is that the people listen to what you want, and work with you to get the style that's best for you. They're total experts on the full spectrum of hair styling (from wild colors to conventional elegance). Very reasonable prices.

Thanks Kathleen! – Kathleen somehow cuts my boring hairstyle in a way that makes people tell me that it has never looked better...plus she's nice. I have never personally known someone that got a bad haircut from this place.

I've been going to Vain for nearly four years and I always look forward to my next appointment. Owner/stylist Victoria Gentry is a master of cut, color, texture and style: she's the Freakin' Goddess of Hair. The entire Vain team is affable and talented and the overall vibe is fun and relaxed. The salon stocks an amazing array of haircare products and the boutique section offers one-of-a-kind (yet still affordable) pieces from emerging designers. All my love's in Vain!

hair so cool you'll never wear a hat – Betsy is the best-y!!!! I'm really sorry that one user had a negative experience, but i have to say that i've been going to betsy for years and years and have NEVER been disappointed in any way. She does the best color west of the Mississippi and is a really great, groovy chick.

great place, great hairdo! – Vain is the place for anyone who likes a fun, friendly, creative environment. The energy there is very positive and alive. Betsy Hansen has been doing my hair for years, and I would recommend her to anyone. She's an amazing colorist and stylist. She has an innate ability to give a cut and/or color that suits each persons' personality, and works with your individual style. Besides, she's a whole lotta fun too! Sometimes parking downtown can be a pain, but I have never had a problem when I've gone ... read more
