I started looking for a new salon after having several bad haircuts and brow waxes. I saw a review on Mode in Seattle magazine and something about it just seemed right, so I made an appointment. The front desk gal was very sweet and helpful. Not rude and impersonal, like most salon girls. I mentioned that I could only come on certain days & times (because I have a new baby) and after congratulating me, she reminded me that they do waxing as well and suggested that I get it all done at once to save me another trip downtown. Glad she mentioned something because my brows were atrocious! :)\r
I booked a brow appointment with Christine during Happy Hour (the same service, only $15 though because it fell between 2pm & 4pm! Thanks again to the receptionist for recommending that)\r
Christine was hilarious! She had me cracking up! I felt like I had known her for years. I was SO impressed with my brows! They were perfect. Definitely what I had been looking for all this time. I loved Christine so much that I came back to her after my hair, for a facial. It was to die for. I actually booked one per month for about the next 9 months or so and she gave me 10% off each visit when I come in! She definitely did not have to do that. She is just AMAZING. I can't say it enough!\r
I saw Monica Rose for my cut & color. Two words; Professional & INCREDIBLE! I felt like she had mastered the art of cut, color and overall personal style. Because for me, it can be a fabulous hairstyle but if it doesn't fit my personality, it won't like it at all. I had a full foil and a (new) cut, something I never tried before. She nailed my personal style, the amount of effort I wanted to spend each morning and even helped my (chubby) facial features fade away behind my awesome new hair:-) The salon had a fantastically mellow vibe, everyone was genuinely friendly, offered great products (all organic. skincare & makeup as well) a zillion beverage choices and they take American Express!\r
I'M HOOKED.
Pros: Everything & Everyone there. They also tell you where the cheapest parking is!
Cons: Maybe that I wasted so much $ at other salons before finding Mode :)
