Mode does a lot of advertising and marketing. They do discounts for newbies, discounts if you refer people to them, email advertising, snail mail advertising and they post to all the relevant websites.
That said, they are indeed a down-to-earth salon with reasonable prices. My haircut was disappointing - I really don't think the stylist had a clue how to cut my type of hair. (I was refered to her by the salon as THE one to see if you have curly hair.)

WOW. I LOVE my new lashes! I went to this salon for the first time because I saw their ad in the window for lash extensions and I booked my appointment with Dina. She is an artist and I love what she did to my lashes. I will be back!

This place is a bit seedy but I gotta say that its' architecture as an old movie or bowling place makes it kinda cool. Other than it's architecture it's just a basic drug store doing the convenient thing of getting you maalox or a kit kat when you need it.

My husband and I are doing a lot of work on our house these days and plumbing is the current beast we're slaying.
We've been buying all of our plumbing supplies for a new bath from Aurora Plumbing, and although we've known they are overpriced in comparison to the chain stores, we've felt good about supporting a small operation that gives good technical advice. The other reason we've gone there is because they carry materials you can't find at the chain stores--sizes and types that are not typical.
And up until a few days ago we felt great about Aurora Plumbing, but my husband had such a negative experience that we may well be writing them off. (We do give everyone the credit of having a bad or off day, so if we really write them off is yet to be determined). The short of it is that they charged us for the use of a tool that they assured us would be free-of-charge. No, we didn't get that in writing :-( This was a tool that we neither wanted or had requested. They then proceeded to give us a hard time, as if we were taking up their valuable time questioning them about it.
It was a lousy customer service experience, compounded by a long wait, that made us ready to head over to the nearest Lowes or Home Depot where we don't necessarily expect expert advice but do pay significantly less for materials.

My wife was a stylist at Trade Secret in Northgate Mall in Seattle. They used to have a lot of customers of varying ethnicities, and, therefore, varying hairstyles. For instance, my wife had several African-American clients. I'm not sure if that's still the case (it's been a couple of years) but worth a try. I'm giving it four stars because I can't guarantee who may still be working there, but they seemed to hire quality people. Good luck!

I've been here several times and have always been very happy with the service. On a recent trip, I brought in a basket that I wanted to fill with (go-figure!) bath and body products for a gift. I was pleasantly surprised when the salesperson offered to fill it for me with some tissue paper and shredded paper on top for free! The store also always has great in-store specials going on. It's located in the same shopping area as Red Robin, Old Navy, and Babies R Us. Park on the Red Robin side, near Marshalls.

This is not a class if you are looking for one. But i do know that at Aveda stores they do free make-up sessions. Some of them you have to make an appointment but others you can just walk it to. I do know that this one in Pacific place they do have professional make-up artist working there. There is also another Aveda store in the U village as well. The reason i recommend the Aveda store for your daughter is because they do focus on the "natural" look. Every time i go into an Aveda store i think the service is great and they are not pushy at all.

It may depend on whether you want an integrated sink/vanity or a separate vanity that you drop the sink into, but I do have one suggestion. When we remodeled, we bought a bunch of fixtures (sinks, toilets, faucets, etc.) at the Fixture Gallery on Stone Way. They have a great selection of big-name fixtures. I believe it is open to the public, but they are probably more used to dealing with contractors, so if you have one, have them make an appointment for you and maybe go along.
It is good to have an appointment, because then a salesperson who knows the products will be able to walk around the showroom with you. This sounds obnoxious in principle, but is actually useful, since they'll ask the right questions about your situation and help you pick out something that will work in the space you have. They're not high-pressure salespeople at all.

When trying to buy fixtures for our remodel - we looked at best plumbing on Stoneway for both fixture purchase and full house replacement of plumbing lines.
The fixture department refused to even quote us unless we paid a design fee ( despite the fact we were not getting them to do a design).
Eventually we choose a different retailer and plumbing installation company.

More
with the luck i had at places like Salon 7, i was afraid to let anyone else touch my hair. i really didn't need another $75 mullet. so after hearing some good stuff about Mode Organic salon i decided to give it a try.
the negative first: parking. mode downtown is on 4th and pike, so you have to find a garage and pay.
that's the only negative. molly cut my hair and was great. she's nice, she listened to me, and i think she did a super job. the scalp massage i got before the cut was heaven, and all of the scents in the salon are very calming and natural-smelling. no harsh chemicals there!
huge windows, fun but not blaring music and nice people make up the rest of the outfit. i will return.
