I just had an appointment with Scott and he is amazing! ! The whole staff is friendly really, but he had a chill energy and took my vague idea and translated it into art! I am now devoted to this adorable place in Ballard! Amazing!
Alexis rocks the curly girls! – Who doesn't love Ballard! Seriously! And then you walk into this cute shop and the magic happens! I always leave happy and Alexis makes sure that all is perfect!
No Fluff, just GREAT hair. – Oh my god, I had the best experience here. I have short hair that I want to grow out and have been daunted by the idea of months of awkward in-between-lengths and fluffy/puffy hair. ugh. I had a terrible experience at another salon in Ballard, and was tempted to give up and keep my hair short. After calling to make an appointment at Vain, however, I reconsidered. First off, the receptionist asked me about my hair and long term hair goals before she even suggested a stylist - she then suggested se... read more
Alexis is amazing – I should start this by saying I have had many haircuts all over the country ranging in price from $20-$180 if not more. I have seen stylists everywhere from NYC to LA and had cuts from waist length to a boy cut with my thick curly hair. I also lived with a hairdresser for a few years and she gave me some great cuts, but I have to admit Alexis wins. I had my hair cut a bit over a month ago by her, (I didn?t write a review right away b/c the real test of a cut is how it grows out) and I love it just as much... read more
Melissa is great! – I had a great experience at Vain in Ballard. The location is really cute on the corner and not hard to find. My wait was less than 5 minutes and I didn't mind at all because I was looking at all the items they had for sale (jewelry, scarves etc). I was greeted by Melissa with a handshake and a friendly hello, and asked if I needed anything to drink - always a nice touch. I felt Melissa was really honest about the potential of my hair and cut I wanted and I really appreciated it. She was so meticulous and ... read more
Alexis is the woman to see for great color/ color correction – I decided to be creative and try to lift a dark brow to a medium to light shade on my own. Needless to say, it didn't quite turn out as I would have liked. I immediately though of Vain, since a few years prior, I had the same lapse of judgment with very similar results. My favorite stylist moved on to NYC, and since then my hair had been boring and dark brown. Thankfully, I found Alexis' profile - and it seemed like a perfect match, she works with curly hair (min... read more
Go see Melissa at Vain. She's fabulous! – I have had Melissa do my hair for years and its been a bit undecided where we would meet to have her cut my hair in the past as I met her while she was in beauty school three years ago, but she's at Vain now and I'm so happy for her. She has a sharp eye, precise and articulate skills, and I have never been unsatisfied with her work. She gives great cuts and they're incredibly affordable ($15 for men's, which is what I get) and her color skill is phenomenal. She is very friendly, very... read more
Best Salon in Seattle! – Checkout VAIN in Ballard!! I spent my first year in Belltown trying to find a stylist I trusted with my short, curly hair. After trying just about every salon on 1st Ave I found my match! I have been trusting my "look" to Rachel for over 4 years now. She recently moved to the newest VAIN location in Ballard which has exceeded my expectations in look, feel and convenience. The great service and funky music make it a treat everytime I stop in to see Rachel.
Try Vain - you'll never go anywhere else – My hair has been in Rachel's capable hands for six years, first at Vain's Belltown location and more recently in the new Ballard salon. No matter what color schemes I have thrown at her - platinum blonde, "regular" color, bright multicolored configurations - Rachel has executed them with aplomb...and when I am out of ideas she is always full of them. In addition to being an expert colorist, Rachel gives fantastic haircuts, every time. I have literally never been displeased. The only... read more
