SEVEN, Seattle

After months of trying to find the perfect hair connection, I found Krystal at Seven, Seattle. LOVE HER! Already referred 3 new clients....almost afraid I won't be able to get appointments with her now, but she's so incredible everyone needs to know. She listens, has a great 'eye' and truly wants YOU to be your best. more

Cher at 7 gave me an amazing haircut that I am complimented on everyday. She was able to give me a cut that brought out my best features. She did my hair very artistically and I love it! I would highly recommend Cher! She also gave me the 7 products and they work great for me. The clean, fresh scent of the shampoo, along with the non-greasy polish keep my hair healthy and looking fabulous. Thank you Cher! Pros: Amazing Haircut more

This place has a hip, trendy atmosphere. There is a DJ, loud music, and a barista that makes great lattes. The magazines are all high-fashion (think famous designers, catwalk shows), with no US Weekly or Cosmo in sight. It's fun but not especially cozy.\r \r However, I care more about quality of service. I saw Tonya for a partial foil and cut. She did a good job on the color, but my hair turned out more yellow than the ashy blonde I usually get. But that's my fault for not telling her. I guess I thought she knew because my hair was a light ashy blonde when I walked in. It still looks very good though.She said I'd need to come in again for a toner rinse to get that light color again. \r \r The cut was nothing special. It probably only took her 10 minutes. I just asked for a trim and a little more shape. But really, even I can't see a difference. It was a little disappointing, but I guess it was just a ""trim."" I'd give Tonya a 3.5 overall. \r \r The price was about what I usually pay. The total came to $165, plus I added a $30 tip. Pricey but expected. \r \r My only issue with Tonya was that she was pretty pushy. She was really pressing me to buy the Hair Mask and shampoo/conditioner. She started lecturing me after I admitted to using the Neutrogena intensive hair mask. Anyway, I got suckered into buying the hair mask and don't think it's as good as my usual Neutrogena stuff. \r \r Tonya was also pushy about getting me to come in every 6 weeks for color as opposed to my usual 3 months. I thought this was weird because even she said nobody would notice my natually blonde roots growing out. Nobody even knows I get highlights because my hair is so light naturally. \r \r I suspect that anyone that gives this place 5 stars is swayed by the atmosphere and is probably not very discerning about the quality of service. I think 4 stars is generous. Pros: Very good lattes, silky robes, cool music, trendy people Cons: Pretentious greeters more

Lindsay first cut my hair about 5 years ago. I recently moved back to seattle and I was in luck because she still works at Seven (even though they moved locations). I was thrilled!\r \r Got my hair cut yesterday - the space is a little intense, but Lindsay remembered me, and remembered my hair (even though it was completely different from when she cut it before). She evaluated my face, hair texture, etc and got to work.\r \r I left Seven feeling fabulous. I am loving my new, short hair cut - and I'm glad Seven is such a great place to work, that I was able to find Lindsay still working there!\r \r My hair is thick and fairly course. It also has natural curl. It's hard to get a short hair cut that is complimenting to my face...but Lindsay does it. I'm digging my new hair - thanks Lindsay!! Pros: friendly, knowledgable, personable Cons: n/a more

I recieved a free cut card in the mail at my job, at first i was really scared but my co-worker said it's amazing and i should try it out. Well, i am not a huge creature of change but i went in and was amazed at the space. It's modern, beautiful, and a little overwhelming at first. But the people there make you feel at home. I met my stylist (Jennifer) and she took me back to here area, i expressed my worries and she gave me the best consultation i have ever experienced! We even talked about my bone structure i was easily impressed. long story short i got the best haircut i have ever had and am now on the other side sending people to seven every chance i get:) Thanks Jennifer :) Pros: good cut, free lattes, fun music, great stylist.... Cons: ???? more

I have been to Seven multiple times now. I've seen both Trihn and Nhi, both are excellent hair stylists. I had my color done by Nhi and went a month or two without getting it redone, yet I am STILL getting compliments on my color. It doesn't look grown out at all it just blends with my natural color. My mom also went and saw Rick who is AMAZING! He cut and curled her hair made it look SO beautiful. We love the salon and amosphere. And as for the ""lighting issues"" there is a light above every chair I was able to see perfectly. There's always a latte and robe waiting, yummy chocolates and I've never had a pushy sales woman pushing the products. Best Salon Ever! Pros: Best COLOR/Cuts, friendly staff, lattes, DJ Cons: NOTHING! more

I had been going to the same hair dresser for over 20 years and for the most part had been happy. When my hairdresser moved away I was in a panic! I heard about Seven and even though I was terrified to have someone else cut and color my hair, I crossed my fingers and took the plunge.\r \r That was over 6 months ago and I haven't looked back. My new stylist is Krystal; after being so stuck in the same hair style for several years, I asked her to suggest something a little fresher, younger and more professional. I was thrilled with the results and have been going back ever since.\r \r People are constantly complimenting me on my hair and ask where I get it done. I've never hesitated recommending Krystal and Seven to them - those that have made an appointment with her have been thrilled with the results and keep rebooking. \r \r Three people that I work with now have Krystal do their hair and each style is unique; no cookie cutter hairstyles to be had at Seven! Each cut is designed to complement your bone structure and hair type... each color is determined to complement your skin tone.\r \r I would recommend Krystal to anyone looking for a fantastic hair cut and color. She is indeed the color queen! Pros: Quality hair professional, quality products, quality salon more

From the moment I called to make my appointment to the moment I stepped out the door I felt like a rock star! I have very difficult hair that is a toss between curly and straight. I am never happy with my hair and have never blamed the stylist in the past that have cut it. I know it is not easy since I have a hard time with it .(and I have had it on my head for me to try and master my whole life!)Thankfully a few friends of mine sent me to Seven. I was nervous but willing.\r I was so excited after calling to make my appointment and being helped so graciously by Douglas. He took the time to listen to me and let me ask questions. \r All I can say is I am more than happy! The stylist he set me up with gave me her oppinion and I decided to put my hair in her hands. She not only gave me a perfect hair cut for me, she taught me HOW to style my hair. \r I am greatful for the amount of care they gave me and I am excited to say good bye to hideous hair days. \r I have found my salon for life!!! I think I will try color next:) Pros: Helpful staff, great vibe, custom hair cut! Cons: Could not find one! more

The ambiance: \r Seven Salon is by far one of the hippest looking salons I have been to in Seattle. There is a DJ spinning records, but the music isn't too loud. It is a very exciting salon with a modern edge. \r \r The Stylist: \r I have been growing my hair out and keeping the length was very important. Krystal was excellent at only taking off a few inches. My hair looks much healthier now and I can still put it up in a ponytail, or bun. \r \r Customer Service: \r I didn't have an appointment, but within minutes I was sitting with a stylist. From the moment I walked in, I was offered refreshments and made to feel at ease.\r They also sent me home with complimentary conditioner and shampoo. \r Pros: Ample Parking in Pacific Place more

I have been to see Jennifer several times and i'm always impressed with her ability to nail the look i'm after. Not only is the atmosphere alive but Jennifer's attitude is always positive and she is a delight to be with:) The talent in seven is unreal. The stylists are all beautiful and you can enjoy a free latte while you listin to the d.j. spin. I LOVE IT!!!! Pros: Great job once again! more

I love this place and I love Desiree, the stylist and foiler-extraordinaire!!!! She was very down-to-earth and just seemed excited to make me look beautiful! I have never gotten so many compliments on my color. It's always, ""oh, you got your hair done..."", not ""WHO DOES YOUR HAIR?!?! IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!"" Well, I tell them and I will tell the world, it's Desiree at 7 Salon in Seattle. Make sure to book ahead, because she tends to get booked when you really need a full on color/foil service, but it is totally worth the effort and every last penny. She looked at my eye color, my skin tone, every last frecke...AH! PLUS, she never insists on chopping it all off like most people do. She gives me a great cut and color and keeps me looking like myself. You are in great hands if you go see Desiree!!! LOVE!!! Pros: skill, personality, service more

The eye and skill of a sculptor, the attention to detail of the OCD afflicted (in a good way), and the witty banter of a 30's comedy with a 2009 edge all combined to the most enjoyable and best cut I've had in years, possibly ever.\r Seriously, I've had more compliments on this cut than any I can remember.\r She even fielded my random queries about things in her field. A great cut, conversation and info I didn't have when I walked in, what's not to love.\r Highly recommend her. more

I went to Seven after reading all the rave reviews on the internet. I booked an appointment with Maria who I was told was very good. I arrived at the salon and it seemed very fancy. They had a latte service and robes you could change into. That is about as good as the experience gets. The DJ they have playing is so loud that you have to scream in order to hear your stylist. I met with Maria and we discussed what we were going to do with my hair. She washed and cut my hair and then rushed me out the door. She wouldn't even let me see what the back of my hair looked like! Once I got home, I saw how choppy and uneven she cut my hair. There were parts of my hair that she didn't even cut!! I did not pay $70 to have part of my hair cut. When I went back to complain to the salon, even they admitted that this was a horrible haircut. I went to two different hairstylist to try and fix my hair and it has yet to be fully fixed. I do not recommend this salon whatsoever. It is one thing to get a bad haircut and it is completely different to not have parts of your hair cut at all and have it at different lengths. Stay away from Seven and definitely stay away from Maria! Cons: horrible haircut, expensive, loud music more

My hair was in a very bad shape from a previous cut. It was uneven and had no style. Sung quickly noticed what needed to be done and even consulted me on the spring colors for my highlights. He worked on my hair for three hours and I can say that he is equally great in color and cut. Now, my hair is has style, has amazing highlights and looks great. Sung definately made me more stylish. I would definately recommend him to everyone who wants a great hair from a caring and innovative stylist. Go see Sung at Seven Salon. You will not regret it. Pros: Great color, great cut, efficient, got exactly what I wanted more

I had a terrible experience with Lorenzo and have never gone back. I wanted to go back to a more natural color blonde and he painted the back of my hair with one color that turned my hair a muddy gold color - I was so embarrassed - I looked like a two tone skunk. I will never go back to this Salon and tell everyone that is looking for a recommendation not to go there. Pros: ??? Cons: Overpriced, Pretencious, Bad Color!! more

sometimes when a trainee needs to cut hair for their ""test"" u can get a free haircut... convenient times are hard to find though... as far as the quality of their cuts... it's legit! too legit to quit! i was satisfied (my fam lives in seattle so i go up once in a while) Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

I have always been a Nervous Nancy when it comes to getting my hair done. When it came time to go blonde for a show I was acting in, I was nervous and hesitant, but I had no choice - the show must go on. Desiree was just starting out as a stylist but right away she put my nerves at ease. When I was done I was amazed. My color was so natural looking - not chunky or orange like other stylists have done. Now, I go to Desiree for my cut and color every time. She keeps me looking good and best of all - she keeps me looking like me! I can't wait until I have to change my look again - I completely trust her to do a great job! I highly recommend any actor in town to seek out Desiree if you are getting new headshots. It is definitely worth it. Pros: Desiree Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

This place is so dark inside it was hard to see my dark brown hair during my haircut. The cut ended up being uneven and disjointed -- probably more of a reflection on the lack of light than my stylist's skill. If you have dark hair avoid this place! more

I got a free haircut coupon at Nordstrom for Salon Seven in Seattle and went to get my hair done two weeks ago. CHER was my stylist and I immediately liked her wonderful personality and way with words. \r \r She interviews you and really wants to understand how you feel about your hair, what you want, she's delightful and has a sparkling personality.\r \r She cut my hair and I just felt SO HAPPY when it was blown dry. I needed my hair color done in a week and, when she walked me to the reception desk, I booked my next appointment right then and there.\r \r Today, I went in for my color appointment. CHER suggested a sable brown color (my hair was brown and highlighted with warm golden blondes); she said she'd mix some color especially for her ""vision for [me]"" and had some suggestions about how I could reshape my hair and better-frame my face. I trusted her and told her to ""go for it"". \r \r Both my color and my cut look FANTASTIC!! \r \r After my appointment, I went down to the Four Seasons Art Bar to meet some friends for a drink. They went WILD when I walked in!! They said, ""WOW, your hair looks SO GORGEOUS!!"" I felt like two million bucks!! I was beaming from ear-to-ear.\r \r I feel so good and happy. I am definitely going back to CHER. She is a wonderful person and a truly vivacious and switched-on hair stylist. I was perfectly happy with the stylists I had at my other salon but I've decided to go back to CHER from now on... \r \r p.s. That was a really smart idea to offer free haircut coupons when you make a purchase of over $150 at Nordstrom; this never would have happened if it weren't for that. And, the interiors, people and art at Seven are such eye candy. FUN!! (Not to mention the HOT music and coffee bar!) \r \r Thank you, CHER!! \r \r \r \r Pros: Ambiance, Professional Service, Convenient Location & Parking, FUN!! more

Cher knows how to cut and style curly hair. Really! Indeed, she also asks and asks questions, before cutting, so there are no misunderstandings: the first stylist I've ever found to do this. (She used to be the one on stage teaching hundreds of others coast-to-coast how to do the cuts.) My previous stylist died (may God bless him), and I truly dreaded starting the search again for someone who knows the ins and outs of curly hair. Luckily, my Web search pointed me to Cher. Pros: Knows curly hair Cons: Price, Parking more
