The Best 15 Hair Salons in Tacoma, Pierce

Ilene Clevenger Chelsea takes her time listening to the hair color you want to achieve. She also suggests excellent color recommendations to match your desired shade. She is thorough and explains the process clearly, letting you know what to expect. She doesnt rush through the appointment, and her prices are very reasonable. Her skills are top-notch! I will definitely go back!

kendy peers I absolutely love having my hair done with Chelsea! She is truly the best!! It’s hard for me to trust people with my hair and with her I honestly just let her do what she think is best with the ideas I have. She is honest and up front with everything! If you need or want your hair done she is the one to go too! I love this salon!

Amy Pagano Chelsea and her hair studio are one of Tacomas hidden gems. She has such a gift for color and I always leave the salon feeling so happy with the outcome. She excels at personalized service and listens closely what her clients want at each and every visit. Although she is a color expert, she gives a darn good hair cut too! I also find her very affordable compared with other local salons. I have two friends who also visit Chelsea and both feel the same way I do. You wont be disappointed if book with her.

Trudee DeWitt Chelsea does amazing work! I am never disappointed when I leave her salon (which is absolutely adorable and cozy, by the way). She always takes the time to assess the health of my hair and gives me easy-care creative color that works for my lifestyle and routine.

Matthew Clark Absolutely phenomenal haircut! I’ve been to several stylists in the area with similar pricing, and none have matched the professionalism and quality of service I received here. Amanda, the owner, did an incredible job—precise, stylish, and exactly what I wanted. Beyond that, her salon is absolutely charming, equipped with top-tier tools that not only make the stylists’ jobs easier but also elevate the entire experience. You can tell she puts care into every detail, from the ambiance to the craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a place that truly delivers, this is it. 10/10, highly recommend!

Grace Hatfield I had a lovely experience with Mel! She is very experienced with vivid colors and gave me a wonderful cut and color. I have had her as a hairstylist for over a year and have enjoyed every result!!! I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a color change and hair makeover!

Amy Ross Love, love, love how my hair and brows turned out! Amanda listened to what I wanted, regularly checked in with me throughout the process to make sure length was good, and even asked for permission to put product on my hair. Probably the best hair experience I’ve had since I’ve been her. Highly recommend!

Amanda K Amanda has been my hairstylist since I moved here a few years ago. She always does an amazing job and double checks to make sure we are on the same page before she starts, and also checks in with me during the process! I typically get alternative style hair and she is the best and does exactly what I want every time. She’s even done crazy colors and shaved designs when I had my head shaved, which was super fun and I received tons of compliments! I’m so happy she now owns her own salon and I can support another small business!

Eva Gill Amanda was amazing - I went in not really sure what direction I wanted to go or what I wanted to do, and she made a miracle happen turning my hair from very masculine to feminine on request. I wasnt sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasnt that, and I absolutely love it.

Isabelle Thompson I recently got my hair dyed here for the first time and I absolutely adore it. Courtney is amazing at what she does and is very knowledgeable. She is very good at listening to your ideas while also giving her professional advice so you look and feel the best. Super cute and comfortable salon, I look forward to getting more done here.

Mary Garner Courtney has been doing my hair for several years. I have never gotten home and been anything but pleased with my cut and color! She is the BEST!

Melanie B Courtney is awesome! The studio is beautiful. You will leave here with hair you love, that feels great to the touch and looks great and healthy. Courtney helps you feel confident you can keep up your style, advice on color protection, and is honest in her recommendations on what your hair can do and what she can do on a single visit and what she can do on future visits, so you can have healthy hair that matches your priorities. She is building a community you will want to be a part of!

Annette Askren I’ve been seeing Laura for a few years now and followed her over to Icon. She is exceptionally skilled and always manages to interpret my less-than-specific hair desires into perfection every time. Loving Icon, as well! Central location that’s easy to get to, quiet, and always with the best snacks and fancy coffee!

Mackenzie Nitz I have been going to Courtney for years and she always takes amazing care of me! Im so thankful for her thoughtful approach to everything and I always feel better leaving her salon. She is skilled beyond words with excellent attention to detail!

Viki Lareau I am so happy to have found Theresa at Salon Leo! My hairdresser of 30+ years retired a few years ago, and I have been struggling to replace them and spending a fortune to do so! There is no substitute for experience, especially when it comes to color services. With 15+ years in the game, she not only understand hair, but providing value. My appts have been less than $300 for a beautiful cut, all over color w/ balayage, blow out and tip! I have medium length, fairly thick hair. And being a Redhead - I am very picky about the color. Not many can do Red right. Everyone will be different, but this seems like a great value in todays market and with Theresas expertise! This is really what should determine cost (imo) The last stylist I saw bf Theresa had less than 2 years experience & charged me over $600 for a simple layering cut & highlights! The worst part is I looked practically the same as when I went in! I mistakenly trusted the long time salon (actually just around the corner) for being well known in Tacoma. I have seen Theresa 3 times now with next appt already on the books! FYI - she also owns her own salon in Seattle too! Being a salon owner, she clearly understands the importance of customer service & retention - knowing we are her walking business card. (the previous salon never inquired or reached out to me after) Sorry this is long, but if youve ever lost your long time Stylist, finally finding another is such a blessing and Im very grateful!

Kelsey Nugent Carina is great at listening to what I want and making my hair look wonderful every time (whether it’s just a trim or a dramatic cut). Plus, she is a kind human who puts you at ease while she works. Highly recommend Salon Leo!

Georgina Stewart Salon Leo is hands down the best salon I’ve been to in many years. Ally always took the time to listen to me and make sure she knew what I wanted done, and then delivered 100% of the time. The price was also really good for the quality of the work. This place is awesome!!

Polina B Root touch-up highlights 3hrs work with Amalia. Great result! Highly recommend!

Marguerite Martin I’ve been getting my hair cut and colored here for a decade. Carina is such a talented stylist. IYKYK. People ask me who cuts my hair ALL THE TIME and I have to say, “Carina at Salon Leo, but she’s fully booked.” There are other stylists here though and they’re great!

Jessica Zahnow This salon is so charming and cool - seated at the foot of 30th street hill in a beautiful location. Jill is fantastic and always makes sure I leave happy. My hair is on the thinner side and Jill always makes me look great. Not only is she talented, you will leave with a new friend. Theres no one in Tacoma Jill doesnt know. Shes a one-of-a kind stylist and human. Book with her today - youll be so happy you did!

Tricia McFarland-Riley I love going here to get my hair done. I completely trust my stylist. I just tell her to make me pretty. Let me tell you, Im never disappointed! Its mind blowing how amazing she does my hair. All the stylist are super nice and welcoming. If you need your hair done for any occasion or just get it done, I highly recommend Salt Salon.

Sandy Garrett Gina has been cutting my hair forever! She always does an excellent job and is very friendly and professional. I like the calm environment. And every one is friendly and helpful. I’ve also received services by Courtney. Also a great job and is very professional and friendly.

Denae Parish Finding your right stylist is hard!! And when I found Rachel at Salt I knew I was in the right place. She is absolutely fabulous and has created a truly wonderful vibe within the salon. While I sit to get my hair done, I watch everyone else around as well, and I’d recommend any of the stylists here - and don’t forget about the facials and waxing services either! Solid gold.

Michael Maertins I have been going to Diemy for over a year now, I must say she is by far the best hairstylist I have ever been too. If your a guy, totally legit! She is the real deal. Every time I leave I can’t wait to go back because she is such a fun person and great conversationalist. Totally professional, makes you feel amazing. She just moved into a new salon and it is first class all the way. I 100% recommend her as your new stylist.

Ned Jacobson Diemy has been cutting my hair for around 8 years. To say that she is the best is an understatement. I don’t know where to start. She has taken the time to get to know my hair and always has great suggestions and styles. I formerly moved to Kirkland and started going to the Gene Jaurez Men’s Salon in Bellevue and it was a total hack job. Diemy back to the rescue. Not only is Diemy a great stylist, she is a better person and has become a great friend. So thankful for this lady. Cheers.

David Bergler I recently moved to the area and was searching for a new stylist to cut my hair. Diemy had excellent reviews and was able to schedule me in that day. I was extremely impressed with how my first appointment went. I am now a loyal customer. I highly recommend Diemy!

chris hays I have been a customer of Diemy for over ten years and she is awesome! She is always very punctual and has never missed an appointment. She does an excellent job and really pays attention to details. And she always makes your visit an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Finally she is very knowledgeable about taking care of your hair! I can’t say enough about Diemy - give her a try and you will see the difference!!

G T Diemy is a spectacularly talented professional. Her haircuts are super neat, clean, relaxing and grow out looking really good. I moved away and tried to find a different hair dresser, but couldnt find anyone close to Diemys talent - so now I drive 35 minutes to get my hair cut. Recommend 110%!!!

terah jackson I love going to Hayley! She always does a great job and makes you feel at home. 10/10!

Lily Blackwell Super cute salon! I’ve been going to Krista for my blonde for 2+ years and have never had a hairstylist as knowledgeable and amazing as her

Jordan Rash The owner - Maegan Hanby - has cut my hair for 16 years. I’ve followed her everywhere in that time, and excited to be a patron in her own space. I don’t have much hair left to work with (yay, male pattern baldness!), but she always makes me look great when I leave the shop. 10/10 would recommend.

Carissa Neumann I’m so glad I found Mauve, Maegan did such a great job on my hair! I highly recommend coming here.

Susan Courtney Tric is the best. She understands my difficult hair and makes certain I always look my best.

Trista Phipps Wonderful cut by Amy, long time client of hers, but Ive enjoyed it even more since shes been at Studio 253!

Leslie Waffle The owner Tric ( pronounced Trish) is soooo great! She can do any hair or style with many years of experience 1st as a hair stylist b4 she owned this salon; not to mention the gorgeous view of Ruston Way & the waterfront with boats & ferry crossings.

Sue Walla Tric (the owner) is a magician. Her cuts & colors are awesome. AND shes a great listener!

Matthew Winningham Awesome! They have all necessary Covid-19 safeguards in place and I love Terry! Ive know her for a long time and today she cut off my Bob Ross pandemic doo.

Carli Kitsch This salon is the best of the best in the area. All of the stylists are always welcoming and the salon atmosphere is inviting and not overwhelming. Ive been a client of Melissas for about 15 years and she is a wonderful individual and has great talent! I always get compliments on my hair from coworkers. If youre in the market for a new stylist, I woule highly recommend anyone at Refinery!

Kaitlyn Furnish Ashalina always makes me feel beautiful after doing my hair. Her warm spirit and talent is unmatched. If you are looking for a new hairstylist, she’s your gal. I will continue to come back to her again and again.

Maggi Ostrander LOVE this place! Suzanne Bunk is the absolute BEST!! I’ve been going to her for quite a few years now and not only do I consider her my stylist, I also consider her a friend! When I first started seeing her my hair wasn’t in the best of shape due to health reasons and not using the right products. Well, let’s just say Suzanne got my hair looking healthy again and she nails my Balayage every time! My daughter started going to Suzanne a couple years ago and also loves her. And teenagers are hard to please! Lol! Pics are of my daughters Balayage Suzanne did for her 16th bday. Suzanne made her feel so special that day!

Jenny Pham I had such an amazing experience at Refinery. The salon is cute and clean. I had the pleasure of having Ashalina as my hairstylist. She worked her magic! As a natural brunette, I had 9 months of grow out. She was able to confidently get me to my desired blonde and keep it healthy. I absolutely love my hair & have received lots of compliments on it!

L B Ashley is the best stylist in Tacoma for wavy and straight hair! She not only gave me an expert cut when I wanted shoulder-length waves, she educated me on how to style my hair and which products to use. My waves were more gorgeous than I ever expected!! After several months wearing my beautiful waves, I decided to go for a pixie cut. Not only did Ashley give me a gorgeous cut with beautiful highlights, but she also patiently taught me exactly how to style it just right. I recommend her to anyone who wants a flattering cut and a really kind, generous stylist too!!

Yuriko Grier Ashley is the best! I have no idea how to take care of my daughters curly hair because mine is not. She taught me everything, EVERYTHING! And I also love her personality. She is amazing! My 4 years old daughter loves her and trusts her, so she is super comfortable at salon from the 1st visit!

Jodi Marshall Ashley is the most skilled curly stylist I have ever had. She not only listened to my ideas, but helped me to fully embrace my curly hair and her skilled cut and styling techniques help my hair to look its best. It is fuller and longer than ever and I love it. Ashley is a pleasure to be around and her salon is a peaceful place to spend time. in. I highly recommend her and Meraki Salon Tacoma!

katie Ashley is so kind, patient and passionate about her work. I have gotten a few deva cuts in the past but never went back to the same stylist due to not feeling fully satisfied with their work. Though, I can confidently say I will back going back to Ashley! She left my hair looking amazing!

Marisa Anne I have been visiting Ashley since 2021 and I can honestly say she has been the most instrumental in teaching me about my hair, what products work best for it and how I can best care for it. She is eager to demonstrate new styles for me and how to best reproduce the results at home. Additionally, she is receptive to questions, concerns and feedback about her process. I would highly recommend her no matter what your hair type. I always feel more confident and comfortable after my visits.

Forest Longeway Had a wonderful experience visiting Dylan for the first time last week. I was looking specifically for an inclusive, accessible stylist in Tacoma and hit the jackpot with Daydream. Dylan is warm and welcoming and asked great questions about what I was looking for to ensure our style/cut visions were aligned. Looking forward to seeing her again soon in the new studio, and really appreciate what shes contributing to the Tacoma community. Thank you, Dylan!

Hannah L I’ve been seeing Dylan for my blonde highlights for years and she is great. I am always chasing that color my hair was when I was a kid, and she nails it. Her ability to color hair is unparalleled. When I was trying to decide who could do the most natural looking highlights, my friends who have beautiful complex fantasy colored hair suggested Dylan. They explained in order to have great looking pink or blue hair you have to have a colorist who fully understands how to add dimension with blonde first before you apply the extra colors. Turns out that is totally the case and I love my hair by Dylan.

Laura Quann Listen. Dylan is the BEST. I have been seeing her for a little over a year now and I get CONSTANT compliments on my hair cut and color. She cuts in a way that you can go way longer than normal in between services so she is WELL worth the price. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

Rachel Kessler Dylan made all my hair dreams come true! She is super skilled at cutting hair working with my cowlicks and waves (instead of against!) as well as assessing my desire for low maintenance styling and upkeep. She asked smart questions to understand my vision and transformed my dull process damaged grey and color residue hair into gorgeous and healthy color that embraces my silver streaks and natural coloring while enhancing the contrast. Her knowledge of color chemistry and hair follicle shenanigans impressed me and I felt very safe in her capable hands. If you’re looking for an experienced colorist and stylist, Dylan is the best in the city. Not only is she brilliant she does not let her ego or aesthetic get in the way of her clients needs and desires. I’ve found my new hair stylist for life.

Heather Mahler I absolutely love this studio! I go and see Katie for my color and she is beyond amazing! She always nails every look I’m trying to go for. What’s even more amazing is that everyone else recognize me even when I’m not their client and they all work together and help each other in perfect harmony! You will not be disappointed!

Elle Martin Jess is the best! My hair is freaking magical... just look at that in the sun?!?! Copper dreams. I left and immediately got a compliment getting into a car by someone moving across the street. You cant get better than that! The vibe of this salon is everything. Run. Dont walk.

Leann Alban I’ve seen Katie Malone twice now and she’s hit my hair goals both times! She’s super sweet, hard working, and thoughtful. Love love love my hair :)

Brittany Love I followed Maddy from another salon because I love her haircuts but also her personality!! She cuts both my kids, mine, my friends and my mom’s hair because we all love her so much. Her skills range from buzz cut all the way to long hair with everything in between. (And more!) She creates a very welcoming environment and is very helpful when deciding what cut I want. I highly recommend Maddy!

Lacy Dove I’ve been going to this salon for years for color, cut, and styling and Robin and Charla are the best! Their coloring is gorgeous and I never know what hair style I want but their suggestions always have me leaving feeling pretty amazing. They listen and give thoughtful input. And the salon environment is fun, roomy, and inviting. I couldn’t ask for a better experience and certainly won’t go anywhere else for as long as they’ll have me!

Brianna Davies I cannot express how much I love heyHello. Robin Garcia has been my stylist for over 15 years, from long and short, to brightening my natural blonde, all different shades of brown and red, and even purple and pink fashion colors! I always feel welcome and cherished as a client, and their space off Mildred is open, bright, and beautiful. They keep up-to-date on new trends, product, and methods. Ive been there when they were hosting a color class for new stylists, and the Robin and Charla seem like such amazing mentors. If I could give ten stars, I would

Gabz Puz The gal that did my hair gave me a good shag cut and was exceptional in 2 unique ways 1. She was SO GENTLE. Im really tender-headed and Ive never had a hair appointment that didnt hurt before today. 2. She actually diffused my hair! I have wavy hair and folks tend to blow it out so I dont actually know for sure when I leave if itll look good with my natural texture. Today was probably the first time Ive ever left a salon with wavy hair! They were also able to get me in same-day which was really nice.

Pamela Ancich Gates Love this salon. The bright, clean atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. I love that I can come in and feel at home. Charla is amazing with color and cut combo. I bring my inspiration pictures in and she brings them to life. Robin is a color queen and rocks the fashion color requests. 10 out of 10!!! Highly recommend.

Taylor Hauck I had a great experience. The salon is clean and the ladies were very nice! The services were reasonably priced and Im very happy with my end results!

Kristi Zimmerman This is hands down the BEST salon. The owner Anna is incredible as a stylist, as a friend and she makes everyone feel at ease. These ladies are classy and stylish. You’ll leave feeling pampered and beautiful. HIGHLY recommend. Also, being a Davines salon is a huge plus, as their product line is off the charts.

dalissa mey I came to Collett for a last minute hair cut, another shop had fried my hair. She made my hair amazing! I got it cut about 3 weeks ago and I’ve been receiving compliments on the cut of my hair since. I showed her a picture of Julienne Hough with a thick cut that was mid neck. I have fine hair and the cut makes it look so thick and cute. Best hair cut I’ve ever had! Would recommend. All the ladies in the shop are nice. Also my price was $10 less than what was quoted over the phone. So thankful for this shop and Collett! I’ve also seen Natalie in the past and she is great as well.

ms. martinifontaine Love my hairstylist Natalie! The salon is easy to get to, and very nice inside. They answer texts promptly and are a real help making appointments. Five stars!

Jann Sonntag I have been going to The Parlor for over 15 years. Absolutely amazing talent. The stylists are up to date on trends and also know exactly what I would like. I have recommended to several friends. I would not go to any other salon for my cut, color, highlights and fall color accents.

Stephanie Batungbacal Styling styling styling! Nelly really knows how to take any head of hair...whether its thick, thin, frizzy, curly, or straight and turn it into a masterpiece! Not only did she do my hair for my daughter-in-laws wedding, but she also did the brides hair and many of the bridesmaids. All came out simply beautiful! Her attention to detail, the time she takes, and the patience she has is amazing. Truly a great overall hairdresser.

Angelamaria Martone I have been going to Nellie for almost 5 years. I have never been disappointed. Sometimes I dont know exactly what I want, but Nellie has great suggestion that fit me. The cut us always great, and believe me ive hadd so many different styles over the years. I just went today and the color and the highlights they blend right in . Made just for me. So if you want the most wonderful professional hairdo no matter what you need Nellie is your Stylist. You cant go wrong.

Kylie Lanthorn I’ve been coming here for four years, and never once has Nelly remembered me. My last haircut was so bad I won’t be coming back again. This last visit she said “you have so much hair next time ask for an hour” but she rushed me through a wash and cut in thirty minutes. As you can see in my video she cut the back really short when I had asked for long layers. It’s has made my hair extremely difficult to manage. When I got home there were also TWO long obvious pieces hanging past the rest of my hair she missed that I had to cut myself. I wish i had taken a picture it was crazy. Long story short, don’t come here. She is not personable, doesn’t take her time and made several mistakes on my hair.

D.r. Field Very friendly service, excellent advice if youre not sure what you want. Nelly has a beautiful salon with tanning beds available, jewelry, purses etc for sale also. Shes fairly priced and very experienced in hair art. Definitely my go-to place. Easy to find off Sprague in Tacoma. 5 stars.
