I have never been treated with such understanding until I met Kelly. She really took the time to understand the haircut and color I wanted and also made it so much better than I could have imagined. I have never had a stylist do that..they usually always acted like the got me but never did..Kelly wasn't afraid to ask me questions before she just went ahead and she made me feel so comfortable.. So Vain and Kelly have made me believe that amazing hair does exist if you find someone that gets it..and Kelly gets it.So do yourself a favor and get your hair done by Kelly..SHE IS AMAZING..KELLY!!!THANK YOU.. Pros: KELLY works their, amazing salon

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 the great hair cut that I wanted!!!! Like I said I'm asian with with long curly hair and lots of it!! She work on my hair in detail for a long time. Cutting my hair is not easy, having it to look good is even harder. Anyways I love the hair cut and Good Job! I will be back again and recommend this hair salon and Alexis to my friends!! Pros: Nicest Staff, Reasonable Price for a Good Hair Cut! Cons: Need to arrive early if you want cheap street parking.

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 better selection of non-style magazines for men but that is just a really picky small thing. We both have been really happy with Sam, she is very easy to talk to and does a great job. In my opinion, stylists are a dime a dozen and Sam really stands out of the norm. Their prices just went up a little recently but it is still very reasonable. Pros: Sam Cons: parking

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.

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. Pros: cute, clean, stylish, great service Cons: parking...but when on 1st Ave is parking great?

I love Vain! They're really nice, interested in their clients and the atmosphere is great. It's not stuffy at all, and the prices are good.

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 staff was gossiping about other stylists and customers, super unprofessional. Pros: Hip Vibe Cons: Snotty Attitude

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 Sharon. I have so much fun going to Vain to see Sharon. I really look forward to it. My mom even thinks that Sharon does an awesome job with my hair. Mom is always excited to see what Sharon has done lately. I would highly recommend going to see Sharon at the Vain Hair Salon.

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 compliments. Thanks Katie! Pros: Great selection of products you don't see everywhere. The Kevin Murphy line is amazing.
