Salon Metro

Best salon experience ever. Cindy was amazing! Loved what she did with my curls. So excited to find this place. Having curly hair usually leads to disappointing salon experiences because not a lot of people really know what to do with them. Not here! Day 2 and my curls are still intact and looking great!

Justin at Metro Salon is a gem. Great listener, calm countenance, and skilled stylist. I’ve been in Seattle over six years and have had many stylists and Justin is my favorite by far. You want am change from your usual hair stylist? Justin is your guy!

Outstanding! I went to the salon to get a hair do for a wedding. Justin gave me excellent advise and he exactly executed the style that I wanted. I have gotten now multiple haircuts by Justin and I always leave the salon transformed, beaming with confidence, and so happy about color and cut. I have seldomly been so happy with my hair. I would recommend Justin to anyone who is nervous about going to a new place. He takes the time to listen to what you want and is very good at giving you advices and make you feel at ease. I have gotten tons of compliments on my hair and I cannot say enough how much I like Justin’s style and execution.

I’ve been having my hair cut and colored by Justin for a few years now, and I followed him when he moved over to Salon Metro. He’s a low-​key guy with a real sense of style. I’m definitely not a hair expert, so I leave most of the decisions in his hands. And
he does a great job — especially with the color. I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair!

A clean, quaint, and open space with lots of natural lighting and a nice aesthetic.
I got my haircut by Justin at Salon Metro yesterday and I couldn’t be happier. It is very rare that I leave a salon feeling like the stylist understood and executed exactly what I wanted. I have very thick and long hair — he was able to keep the length that I wanted while taking care of a lot of the bulk. Truly flawless. Thanks again!

John Simmons at Salon Metro is a truly amazing hairstylist. John has been doing my hair for years and his skill is unparalleled. I have watched him transform haircolor from blah to simply amazing! He also really loves what he does and it shows ten fold. He will do anything he can to get you to your desired result and he really cares in a way many stylists simply don’t. There is nothing he cannot accomplish and his 25 years of experience will keep your hair in the best possible condition it can be in. You can really trust in his skills. Also a plus he is experienced with Aveda which is a brand I believe in and trust.

If there is one person that I trust with my hair, it’s Ross. I’ve been going to him since 9^th grade and before I moved to Washington, his wonderful daughter gave me my first amazing haircut. He’s a little on the expensive side but he is a genius. I can give him a picture of something I adore but I know it won’t work with my face but then he creates a similar style that I LOVE! He also talks to you and listens to anything you have to say. I trusted him to cut my hair that was mid-​back length to a near pixie. If I can scrounge up some money, it won’t go towards anything else but one of his fabulous haircuts:)

My hairstylist of nearly 6 years recently left a large Salon and Spa and moved to Salon Metro. Today was my first visit. Gone is the hurried, bustling and quite frankly loud atmosphere of the bigger box. Here I was given more exclusive, one on one attention from the second I walked in the door. The space is light and natural yet high end. My stylist, Ross Taylor, is by far one of the best in town, and not just because he does great hair. Ross has the ability to truly connect with his clients. He wants to hear what you want and approaches his art with a careful, steady hand and warm, pleasing demeanor. The culture at Salon Metro also allows Ross and the other stylists the freedom to book the appropriate amount of time for your appointment, rather than turn and burn you like other salons do. They truly display a «clients come first» attitude by speaking first with their actions and finally with incredible service. Thank you for making the move Ross! I look forward to coming back soon.

Really like going to Sasha for my hair. She does a great job with my hair… cut, color, Keratin straightening. Been going there for a couple years now and really like her.

I went here the first time today. I’ve never been happier with my hair. Cindy really knows curls. She patiently took my fine hair with a mix of curl types from strangely flat and loopy in places to a consistent, bouncy shiny curl. I love it. I usually look like a big poof-​head after leaving a salon and I can’t tell what the cut will be like until several days later. I have no poof, just great curls that look natural and don’t feel crunchy.
I’ve tried a lot of curl-​specialists from Seattle to Everett. Cindy is awesome. She also showed me step-​by-​step how to use the products. I highly recommend her.

I made a «curl and slice» appointment with Sasha at the last minute after my curly hair specialist at Vain cancelled. At first, I was pretty scared because I have had long hair my entire life and Sasha didn’t have curly hair. My fears were completely unwarranted. Sasha was so friendly and knowledgeable. She walked me through the Ouidad process, repeated things to make sure I would remember, and taught me tricks to get my hair looking its best. She completely tailored my short cut to my lifestyle and I’m so grateful. I’ve been getting loads of compliments! Bonus: my hair looked AND smelled amazing afterwards due to the Ouidad products. Even though the salon was kind of pricy, the experience was worth every penny.

Found that Cindy at Salon Metro was a curl expert from a google search. Made my appointment and drove 2 hours to see her. WOW! Never has any stylist really analyzed my curls and texture before cutting. Cindy is amazing! She also took the time to show me the technique she uses so I can replicate the look exactly on my own. I’ll never «date» around on this stylist! She helped me rock my curl!

Hate your curly hair? Tried hundreds of different hair products that don’t do what they promise? Never had the hair cut you always wanted?
All those with curly hair need to know about Ouidad,
: the products and the style of cutting. This may sound like an ad, but it’s not… I just LOVE them…
I used to go to their original salon in NYC, but now that I’m on the West Coast, I’ve gone to stylists certified by the Ouidad salon to do their style of cutting and styling. Not only is Cindy the first Ouidad certified stylist in Seattle, but she has curly hair and understands your curly hair struggles! I’ve been once so far and loved my hair cut. I’ve been to many Ouidad stylists, and Cindy is one of the best. Make your appointment now!!!

I travel a lot and had tried many hair stylists in my life. Some were better than others, but Sasha is one of the best I ever had. She knows exactly what looks best on me, suggest hair tricks nobody ever told me about and I look always great leaving the salon. Sasha makes me feel special.

You need to call and make an appointment with Sasha at Salon Metro, like, yesterday. I used to drive from Bothell to see her and thank goodness I now live in Greenwood so this adorable Aveda salon in Wallingford is only a hop, skip and a jump from my home.
Sasha is a great stylist for everything from the simple pixie cut that I maintain every month, to extension, or to European hair painting method of dying called balayage color that all my long maned friends get from her.
I also love that I can count on her for awesome consultation or advice if I want a change. She’s honest„ experienced, and really does want me to look my best. She’s basically always right. I kinda hate it. ;)

For the last 2 years, Renée has been doing my hair and I can tell you right now — as long as she is cutting hair I will never go to anyone else! She is fast, friendly and extremely talented at what she does. She always knows exactly what I want and I usually walk out of there even happier than I was expecting. In fact, I drive two hours just so I can have my hair done by her.
If you are looking in to Salon Metro — definitely ask for Renée, you will not be disappointed!

I’ve been seeing Cindy Frank at Salon Metro for many year, and I always get compliments on my hair style and color. She does a great job and is very patient and intuitive when it comes to hair. She’s actually the owner of the shop, and takes special care that everyone feels welcome. They have a great selection of Aveda products and they also have some unusual gift items, such as handmade scarves that Cindy makes from felted wool. On the main floor, I think they have 4 stations and a relaxing waiting room while your hair is processing. Upstairs is a spa with massage and other procedures. I love this place and highly recommend Salon Metro.

This is a response to Adrienne Ross’s review about Renee at Salon Metro. I pride myself in pleasing my clients to the best of my ability. I apologized at the time, but there seemed to be some sort of miss communication between Adrienne and myself. In my defense of this negative review, she did ask for the exact haircut she received. She did not leave bald and we only use shears not clippers. She expressed her unhappiness and I did everything I could do to please her including not charging her for her services. I do not just cut hair to please myself. I try very hard to make all my clients beautiful and happy. Renee

I highly recommend Renee at Salon Metro. I’ve been seeing Renee for years now, since she was working at Habitude. Renee is a talented hairstylist and fun to talk to. My hair is a combination of thin and wavy, with a layer of coarse and curly underneath. She knows how to work with my hair, and knows what styles I like. I get the best results when I give her a general direction and then let her do her thing. I just got my hair done last night, and we switched things up a bit. I’m loving my hair this morning.
About four years ago I subjected my hair to a thermal relaxer (not Renee). Bad move. Renee patiently fixed the mess month by month, deep conditioning treatment by deep conditioning treatment. I actually ended up with a really cute short bob since all of my damaged hair had to go.
Oh, if you’re into credentials Renee trained at the Aveda academy in Minneapolis.

I have been seeing Angela at Salon Metro for more than eight years and she is extremely gifted, particularly with color. Many of my friends share tales of hair nightmares, but I have never had one, which is no small feat, especially since I am known to frequently change my hair color and cut dramatically. This is largely due to Angela’s expertise, as well as the fact that they only Aveda, I the processes are relatively gentle and my hair always looks healthy, even when I have a platinum bleach done.
Angela is also very intuitive and always knows what I want, without me having to tell her. While after 8 plus years we have developed our own telepathy, she’s demonstrated this ESP from the first day. I also love how she brings her lush creativity and style into every cut and color.
The other stylists are also excellent, friendly and professional. Every head leaves the place looking fabulous.
Given the size of the place, the selection of Aveda products is quite good, but it’s not as exhaustive as you would find at a larger salon. My only complaint is that it could be more full-​service. They do not employ a receptionist, so booking is a little slow and there’s no one to take care of you when you get there if they are busy.
