Paint Salon - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Olivia DAngelo: Highly recommend this salon and specifically Mel! I just moved back to the East Coast and Im sad I cant go to this salon anymore. The last four years Ive only seen Mel at Paint Salon for my hair. Ive been highlighting my hair for 15+ years and can honestly say this was the best salon experience Ive had! I get washed out easily because my skin tone is cool and I have low contrast. Mel understood the *subtlety* that I wanted for my hair in adding dimension while incorporating my natural color. Mel really listens to the nuances of client requests and shes great at cuts as well as color. Plus shes lovely to interact with! Also the front desk/scheduling staff is welcoming and helpful.

5 /5 Rachel Fish: I was very nervous for my appointment, as Ive been cutting my own hair for several years and have never been to a real salon. Jules and the rest of the staff were AMAZING, they put me at ease and answered any questions I had about products and styling for my frizzy wavy hair. They offered me a free coffee, and I left feeling very relaxed and refreshed. The products Jules used to style my hair smelled fantastic. I will definitely be back!

5 /5 V: I highly recommend Paint Salon! Whether you are looking for a more traditional or edgy look, the hair dressers at Paint Salon will deliver! All staff are kind and welcoming, and more importantly, the hair dressers are super talented. Manda has been my hair dresser since 2016 and Ive been going to Paint Salon to see them since the salon opened. Manda is truly a hair artist and I would recommend them to anyone who wants stunning hair. In the past two years Ive had basic long hair cuts (past shoulders even length all around), long hair cuts with layers/face framing, bright reds and pinks on long hair, and more recently as of my last two services pink hair with a shag hair cut. What I appreciate most about my styles from Manda, however, is that they grow out really nicely, including both length/style and color. Overall, Ive always left the salon happy and am always in awe of how great everyones hair looks as they are leaving Paint Salon! Additionally, I like the product selection at the salon as well including Cult & King and Davines. Products work well, smell amazing, and many have refill options to reduce waste. Pictures with pink/red hair are my looks leaving Paint in 2023-2024. The last picture is my hair from today after walking around outside for a few hours (I love how it looks with increased volume from the rain/humidity the).Brown hair picture is from 2022.

5 /5 Erin Brandsness Schaefer: I recently had the most fun hair appointment with Jules and am so happy to have found my new Seattle hairstylist! First of all, Jules is a hoot, he is so fun to be around. Second, he asks really great questions to understand exactly how you want your hair to look. I was so impressed with his communication and attention to detail. My hair looks fabulous and I can’t wait to come back. Also the salon has a cute dog.

5 /5 Tanna Hitchcock: Anyone with curly hair can tell you that finding someone who can cut curly hair well consistently is a challenge, and it can be kind of scary finding a new stylist. That was my situation in 2021 but I knew Erin personally and was sure I was safe in any hands she trusted at her salon! I saw a stylist who no longer works at the salon for the first couple of years and started seeing Mel in 2023 after my first stylist moved. The first stylist helped me achieve the mullet of my dreams and Mel stepped up to help me maintain that for several cuts before I decided to transition to a bit more of a shaggy mullet. Mel has been extremely easy to work with, even when I tell her I want to tweak this or that in search of that perfect balance between shag and mullet that lived in my mind. I can happily say she has helped me achieve every hair goal I have had while being her client. She always checks to make sure Im satisfied with every cut and goes the extra mile to make any final adjustments I ask for before leaving her chair. Mel is also a beautiful person inside and out and I feel special every time Im in her chair. It sounds cheesy, but she really puts her heart into the work and does what she can to make sure every client is happy with the end result, and it shows! Everyone at the salon is extremely welcoming and I would recommend this salon and Mel to anyone who wants to feel happy with their hair!
