Mode Organic Salon

I went to Mode salon for the first time last night and am sad I didnt go sooner! I used to go to Seven Salons which is great if you want to pay more and need to have a DJ playing music while you get your hair cut, but for the rest of us Mode is the way to go. From the moment you walk in you feel relaxed, the colors are soothing and the decor is warm, even the ceiling is painted a neutral color that is calming while getting your hair shampooed. The other great thing is that there is no harsh product smell at Mode because it is an organic salon and they use organic products. The products are so gentle that even pregnant women can get their hair colored there. I wasnt looking for an organic salon, but now that I have been I dont want to go back to the old chemical way. I saw Selina and she was fantastic, she gave me the complimentary scalp massage that comes with all cuts and then took the time to really find out what I was looking for in my cut. She did such a great job on the cut process that I didnt want it to end, but when it did I walked out looking and feeling great. Another person to mention is Jamie, she works the front desk and is extremely friendly, she was very welcoming when I arrived and was very plesant during the payment process, and was even able to book my next appointment right then! Mode was fantastic, I cannot wait to go back!

I have yet to meet any employee at Mode that is not friendly and "makes you feel at home". Even though your wait time is short, you are offered a beverage and made comfortable. I love the atmosphere. I have had my hair colored and cut by Darren, who does a fantastic job. He listens to what you want (or my preference which is to have my stylist make a recommendation), and is extremely skilled with a flat iron (after all the years of poofy, wavy hair, it's a REAL treat). The products they use are wonderful, and after Darren finishes drying and flat ironing my hair it lasts for a good 5 days (get up and go!). The color and style of my hair is the best it has ever been in my life thanks to Darren, and I would highly recommend him and the other services offered by Mode Organic.

I had my first facial by Christine at Mode. It was wonderful and perfect. I didn't know what to expect, but Christine was comforting and talked me through the process. Her energy and skills are amazing. She had an extensive knowledge of the products and was able to recommend products that suited my skin. I will definitely be going back to see her. After the facial, I felt relaxed and like my skin was glowing. The rest of the salon was clean and friendly. I love a place where I can feel special and pampered. Nothing like getting offered some tea or organic wine! Overall it is a great experience at Mode for whatever service you get.

I have quickly become a huge fan of Mode Salon, especially facialist and waxer "extrodinair" Christine! The salon is very hip and inviting. The receptionist always recognizes me and offers me tea, water or whatever I want. The skin care line, Eminence, which is organic and handmade in Hungary, is lovely. I have had several facials using this line and find it very adaptive to the current needs of my skin. As for Christine, I adore her facials!! She has just the right touch and makes my skin dewy and fresh. The music has always been soothing, and the room quiet and relaxing. I have sent many of my friends to Christine for facials and they, too, have had wonderful experiences!

It seems anymore that when you call a salon and ask for their best stylist, you get one of two things. Either they are not accepting new clients or when you get there, they are so full of attitude you can hardly make it through your appointment. I moved to Seattle from NYC three years ago and have been to practically every hair salon in the city looking for the perfect stylist. I wouldnt normally have considered an organic hair salon figuring theyd be a bit too granola for me but after seeing Mode win Best Seattle Hair Salon on Citysearch I decided to give them a try.

I am happy to say my search is over! Joe is the owner of Mode and he IS the best! From the moment I sat down in his chair I felt relaxed and at ease. He knew exactly what I wanted and gave me the best highlights and haircut I think I've ever had! On top of that, he's a darling to talk to. He's not cheap, but he's well worth the price, and believe me... I've paid a lot more for much less!

It's obvious he's a great boss too because everyone in the salon seems to have such a great time! It's so refreshing to walk into a salon like this! And I must mention how beautiful the place is. Not at all the crunchy granola experience, top notch!

I'll be going back for sure... and telling everyone I know about Joe!
