If you want your to pay for a senior stylist and have your hair done by an assistant, this is the salon. \r

I have been looking for a great salon in Seattle and went to 7 based on the recommendations from Citysearch. The first time I received a nice haircut and color from Lorenzo. It was done well enough to compell me to return. The next haircut was okay even though he became busy and never evened up the front layers because his next client came in. He just walked off and his assistant took over and began styling my hair. I was annoyed, but I gave hime the benefit of the doubt and thought it was just a one time mistake. When I came back to have my hair colored a few weeks later, he worked on my hair for all of 5 minutes before passing me on to his assistant. There was no explanation from him or the salon manager. I was moved to a chair near the doorway and worked on by his assistant while he stood by the front desk doing nothing. WHY is it okay to charge me $100 for a single process color to have it done by your assistant in the middle of the salon?\r

I was polite enough to not say anything at the time. When I called later to speak to the salon manager, she was nice enough to apologize, but had not explanation as to why this happened. The best she could do was offer to book my next appointment for me. Why would I want to return to a salon that charges you so much, yet they assume it is acceptable to have your entire appointment done by the assistant. I do not recall ever booking myself for their training right.\r

There are much better salons in the city that will offer you honest service and have the stylist actually do your hair for you.
Cons: Cattle call like service
