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 hair was in desperate need of some help. He asked me what I wanted to do and I said I didn?t really know, just that I needed it shorter and easier to manage. I didn?t really give him much to work with there and he threw out some ideas and got to work. When he was done it was so much better, and a few days later I found myself very happy with the amount of time I cut out getting ready in the morning. He had a pretty good idea how to make my hair look like it had a little more volume and gave me some tips on how to keep it up long term with minimal work. He also recommended a product that might work better for me, but didn?t try to push it into a sale, which was nice. Overall I am happy with the cut, very happy with the service, and happy with Valentine, I will be back. Oh ? and the shop is cute and cozy, it is a tiny bit hard to find since the store front is actually a shop, but I kind of like that since it takes away the ?fishbowl? feeling you get with a lot of the downtown salons that have huge windows on the street so everyone walking by can see the Medusa foil sticking out of your head during a color. Pros: Great service, great stylists and a good atmosphere - very reasonable rates Cons: none

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!

I get a FANTASTIC haircut from Sharon at Vain -- and I'm difficult/picky with hard-to-cut hair. She is also super-sweet!

I have had long straight brown hair for a long time and was sick of it. I was however scared about cutting it...I left it up to Megyn I told her a general idea of what I wanted. I have never been happier with a cut or color. She has a lifelong customer. I have gotten so many compliments and find myself checking it out in the mirror a little longer than I would like to admit :). She picked a super flattering cut for me. And the color is rich and amazing. If you want something new and spicy but still classy she is your girl....and tell her Krystal sent you :) Pros: Super friendly, fast, professional Cons: Walked by the place because the strore front is unassuming.....worth the search though!

Guys, if you want to look good for the ladies, Janae is your Gal. She's been cutting my hair for over a year now and my wife tells me every time I come back from one of my haircuts with Janae that it's the best haircut she's ever seen on me. I live in Woodinville, so it's not exactly easy going to Vain in downtown Seattle to get my haircut, but it is most definitely worth the drive and the gas money. I had a lot of bad haircut experiences in Seattle before I started going to Janae. Now, I know when I go get my haircut, I'm going to come out looking and feeling better. Vain is reasonably priced, so it's not too much more expensive than a barbershop where you're rolling the dice that they'll leave you looking like a bowl-cut idiot. And just think, you'll have a better shot at a promotion when you look awesome and you're exuding confidence. Trust in Janae, I'm REALLY glad that I did, and so is my wife! Pros: quality, trust, atmosphere, Saturday appointments Cons: parking

I love the atmosphere and will not have anyone other than Belinda touch my brows. The one down is just getting a call in to make an appointment. I don't think there's ever been a time that I've called without being put on hold. Perhaps another phone line or more support at the front desk would remedy this?

I went to Vain a few weeks ago for a cut and color, both of which I left extremely impressed with. I told my stylist, Roxy, that I was looking for some dimensional blonde highlights and a haircut with side-swept bangs that wouldn't take me forever to style in the morning. She asked me if I parted my hair on the right or the left, and I said it varied, and she still managed to give me an adorable cut that looked great either way!! Roxy was great at communicating with me and executed the cut and color exactly as I had wanted it, which I was amazed at since I'm not always the best at conveying what I want. Also, there is a pretty sweet gallery & boutique that are apart of Vain as well! In short, I loved the salon, loved the atmosphere, and I really loved my haircut!

I had to add my review to the list of already stellar reviews. Melissa M did my hair and color today and did a fantastic job. She did EXACTLY what I asked for and went the extra mile to add a really nice style to my hair at the end. She was extremely meticulous and actually came back to parts of my hair after styling when she found it wasn't doing what she thought I wanted. For someone who really pays attention to client's needs, goes the extra mile and does a beautiful job, ask for Melissa.
