Um....WOW! Go see Alexis! – After many years of hair coloring in Seatlle, I finally found the stylist and space that really confirms my "Seattleness." I have been so let down in the past. If you ever want to talk about haircolor in terms of fire or flames, and if you are ever feeling like you are dishing out 100 bucks for a sense of bownness, boredom or regret, consider aspiring to who you'd truly like to be and visit Alexis at Vain. The second I walked in, I felt relaxed by ever artifact around me, and when I saw Alexis, he... read more

Poor customer service – I had a very mixed experience with Vain. The true test of a salon is not only how well they handle their primary task of color, cut and style, but how well they handle the problems which may arise. Betsy did my initial cut and color, and I was very specific about what I wanted as I have done my own hair with professional products for years. I found her to be condescending and quick to argue with me about color, processing, etc. That said, she complied with my color choice and she gave me one of the be... read more

BEST HAIR DESIGNERS, HANDS DOWN – Vain does THE BEST haircuts and colors Seattle has to offer. CARLY NICKLAUS does my hair and she delivers EXACTLY what I want everytime. She is a rockstar and makes me into one! With bright red and pink hair, I'm constantly being asked, "Where do you get your hair done?" and the answer is always enthusiastically, "CARLY AT VAIN!!!!!" xoxo ANNA BANANA, Boutique Owner, Pretty Parlor

Krista at Vain is remarkable! – Moving to a new city can be stressful enough, not to mention having to find a new hairstylest. I asked around and 3 different people recommended Vain. So, I made an appointment with Krista. The salon is so fun and upbeat. If you are like me, you dread sitting in a chair for 3 hours. The conversation was great, everyone interacted with eachother, and above all the music was fantastic! For the first time I was able to walk out of a salon with great color and a perfect cut. Krista actually listen... read more

Alexis is the goddess and creator of the best cut and color I've ever had! – Alexis at Vain will forever be my stylist as long as she'll have me. I'm a college student who generally has a habit of getting my hair cut anywhere, with no loyalty or allegiance to any one stylist. I came to Vain on the recommendation of a good friend of mine. She told me that it was Alexis who gave her such a great bleach job and cut, and that she was building her client list, since she was new to the area. I made an appointment and it was love! ... read more

Krista at Vain is a dream come true! – Vain is a salon, art space and boutique all in one, but what really sets Vain apart are the top-notch stylists. I love Krista! During my first cut, Krista listened to my hair woes, immediately identified the issue, and painstakingly reshaped my hair. The result? For the first time in my life, I liked my hair! The best part is, the haircut still looked great weeks later with no maintenence. She recommended Deva Curl products for my curly hair, which are truly amazing and take two seconds... read more

Best Hair Extensions Anywhere by Jenny Slay – I have been going to Jenny Slay to get hair extensions for quite some time. I get Great Lengths Extensions which are real hair type of extensions. I absolutely love them and will probably always get them, even if my hair was as long as I wanted it to be. Jenny is so meticulous about putting them in as well as maintaining them with color etc.. I would not go to anyone else to get my extensions done. She is careful not to damage my own hair and I never lose any of the extensions, w... read more

Go for the hair...and the vibe – I have been visiting Vain since moving to Seattle in 1999. They've grown up from 3 quiet chairs to a new sassy location with a gallery and a constant whir of activity. I have moved through a few sylists as some have moved on, but Vain keeps bringing me back. I love the quality of real, genuine people who work here, who aren't afraid to tell you what they think and who are so talented that you can trust them to do the right thing for the top of your head. You will usually find that your stylis... read more

I Love Carly – I don't usually go to the salon, so I was a little nervous when I walked into vain for the first time. Carly was so sweet and made me feel right at home. I could tell right away that she loves her job by the way she was treating me. She really listened to what i wanted, and took great care to make me look beautiful. I absolutely loved the cut and highlights she gave me...and I got a ton of compliments. I would recomment Carly to anyone..
