Used to be my favorite but . . .

I used to make the long trek out to Ballard just to go to Habitude, and dropped a ton of money there on EVERYTHING. It used to be a good combination of full service salon without the too sleek feel of Gene Juarez, you could get almost any service you needed in a warm, homey atmosphere.
Habitude is still a good place, but I stopped making the trek when I realized how unhappy the hairstylists were. So much so, that a bunch of them started their own salon, Derby. It wasn't that they complained, it's just that their appointments started to get so crammed up that you could feel the rush of the atmosphere. When you are paying that kind of money for salon services, it should be a pampered, relaxing experience . . . and the "new" Habitude feels anything but.
