Ratings_icons This is a very cool Salon

I found the colorist Mariah to be an absolute jewel. She offered a variety of ideas, and her knowledge, and choice of color shades for my hair were excellent. I got to appear on " Northwest Afternoon" television as a maker over guest. She worked with my face shape to create a really suitable, tailored cut.
I think that anyone would enjoy Mariah, and give her a very high recommendation.
All of the staff were very,very friendly. I never felt ignored

Tim has been my guy for 16 years. He has been my brothers hairdresser for 12 years. He really has a patient way of handling my picky hair needs. I have changed color, and shapes a dozen times, and I have never had anything short of perfect. He is a perfectionist. I know he likes to travel a lot to his seminars. He has tremendous gifts for doing hair.
About the salon.I like it, as it is easy access from Bellevue, and parking is a breeze. The people who work with him are friendly, and seem to be very talented, as they are busy too.

Ratings_icons Best Contempory Cut & Color

cheryl_ipo

Tim is a professional stylist with a couture technique. This involves him learning about your preferences, taking into account your face shape, facial bone structure and hairline. Moreover, Tim is passionate about hair. Specifically, by continuing to take classes in London, California and New
York, he is on the cutting edge of the latest cut and coloring techniques. His eye for hair color compliments every cut.

In November 2006, I received my first haircut and partial foil which highlighted my features. My cut lasted the test of time and grew out very nicely (this was a first compared to cuts at previous salons)!
Therefore, I had to see Tim again in March 2007. Both times, I received numerous compliments especially from men! I couldn't believe it! If you want a fresh new look followed by lots of compliments, then see Tim!

Pros: Staff, Technical Skill in Cut & Color and ample Parking

I Have been going to Tim since college. He's a real talent.
My color, and shape always look great.
Tim, and Ghram Breakwell have been my favorite two guys to see for hair cutting for the last ten years.
Seattle is lucky to have such a creative hair dresser.
I would recommend him to anyone

I went to Salon Blast based on the glowing reviews on CitySearch. I
made an appointment with Tim for a consultation because I didn't have
a clue what I wanted. He was very patient with me and showed me lots of
photos and explained to me what my hair was capable of doing and
listened to me tell him what I was capable of doing in terms of fussing
with my hair. We came up with a plan and I made an appointment for my
new do. I love it! Even my husband, who hated to see my stringy long
hair get chopped off, likes it. I get lots of compliments on my
hairstyle from friends and even strangers. The cut, color and
highlights fit my face and my sense of style and is very easy to
maintain. I just came back from a vacation in Mexico and spent lots of time in the water and my hair even looked good after just drying in the wind after a swim. I feel and look younger (at my age of 52 that's greatly appreciated) and much more stylish. At my last appointment withTim, he threw out some ideas of new hairstyles for me to try. I'm totally content with what I have now, but it's nice to know there's more fun things Tim can do with my limp fine thin straight hair in the future when I'm ready for another change. Tim has the patience of a saint and the vision of a genius, he certainly worked a miracle on my hair! Soon after Tim was asked to do a make over segment on " NorthWest Afternoons" televison show, and he chose me to be one of his before, and after models. I was so flattered, and excited about being on televison. It was a lot of fun. We had makeup artists redo our faces, then Tim and his staff styled our hair. I got to be a North West American Idol
for an afternoon. It was a thrill.Since then I have sent in two girls from my office, and they look sensational too.

Pros: Tremdy little Seattle Hair Salon

I was visiting from out of state and "Salon Blast" was recommended. My experience was none like I've ever experienced. The owner was extremely knowledgeable in the art of coloring and determining a cut that would be right for my facial features.....it was perfect!! The staff was warm and friendly. My only regret is where I will ever go to get the service and style that was received at Salon Blast as I am from a small town in the East. Kuddos go out to Tim Wilson and his staff. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Ratings_icons Go to Vanessa for color!!

belleviewgurl

I went to Salon Blast after reading about all of the awesome reviews on CitySearch. I had a horrible experience with my hair color at a salon in Woodinville, and I went to Vanessa based on feedback from this website.

Its a smaller salon tucked away in a neighborhood, but Vanessa has great skills and she corrected my hair. She was so sweet and personable and she was extremely knowledgable with color. She took 3 hours to fix my hair and it was gorgeous! The salon owner was there as well, and he was just as charming.

I hightly recommend Vanessa. The salon was pretty busy the day I was there, so word is out about this great salon.

The only dowside is that parking was bad, there were so many signs around the neighborhoods that were 2 hours only and permit parking only. IF you go in for a color and cut, its longer than 2 hours. But, I was told that they do not tow your car, they typically ticket you, and I never got a ticket.

Pros: Excellent staff, great atmosphere

Cons: Parking

I have been going to Salon Blast for three years. I wanted to express my gratitude for the creative effort that Tim has rendered. He is a steady guy with a lot of creative know how, and a big, big heart. I really mean that. He has made appointments for me on his time off. I left my former hairdresser because he gave me the same cut everytime. One of the girls at work recommended him, and I have never been more lucky. I get a lot comments, and complements on my hair. He is one of those guys you cann't get enough of. The salon is trendy, and fun.

Ratings_icons NorthWest Afternoon

jeanshn

I recently saw Tim perform make overs on three women on the " Northwest Afternoon Show." They all looked impressively, and amazingly transformed .
I Have done nothing with my hair in over a year. I live on an island in the San Juans, and we don't have a lot of trusting salons to pick from. I convinced my two friends to make appointments with me, and the three of us made a weekend for girls into Seattle. Tim took his time with me. My hair is thinning on top. It was long, gray, and no shape. We talked for about 20 minutes. He showed me his portfolio of models, and discussed in detail what would work for my color, and shape. I have had nothing but endless complements. I feel, and look ten years younger. Mahriah, and Vanessa colored, and shaped my girlfriends hair, and they are equally delighted.

Pros: Easy To find

linc2005

I have been trying to grow my hair long for two years (it was really short) and thanks to Vanessa I have finally reached my goal - I LOVE my hair. She helped me throughout the whole process keeping it looking like it had a style and a good shape even through the tough middle time, she was always encouraging, even when I almost broke down and wanted to to cut it all off - she helped me through it! She's also a genius with color, the day after she did my foil my husband said out of the blue "your hair really looks amazing." I owe it to Vanessa - SHE's amazing! Go see her - you'll never regret it!

Pros: Cute Salon, Friendly down to earth atmospher & of course Vanessa!!

oliver06

I just moved to Seattle about 6 months ago and this is third salon I've tried out. The first two salons really screwed up my color and my hair was really dried out. After reading reviews on Salon Blast, I decided to try them out. I made an appointment with Tim, the owner. I told him about the bad color I received in the past (and he could see it!). He was very thorough with the color matching. He really took his time with me. I don't have long hair but I was there for about 2 hours! I am very happy with the color and the texture of my hair. It's alive again! I've gotten many complements on my hair ("is that a new haircut?") because of the color. Thanks Tim!

Pros: very thorough

Cons: cash or check only

Ratings_icons Replaced my Grey Hair with Color I Love!

sarah6

I went to Vanessa Pugliese at Salon Blast looking for a stylist who could get my haircolor right and she did a wonderful job. My hair is grey and therefore really hard to color but I wanted a natural looking blond color with light brown texture. I had tried several other stylists, but the color didn't cover well, so my hair was too light and washed out. I was frustrated by the experience and had just about given up when a friend recommended Vanessa to me. I now have beautiful blond hair that looks so natural people are shocked when I tell them I am almost 100% grey and I am told I look much younger. That alone makes it worth the effort! I was surprised at how reasonalbe her prices were & she has given suggestions on how to keep the cost down when maintaining my new haircolor. Thanks Vanessa for a great job!

Ratings_icons Very Satisfied with my color

deron123

I have been getting my hair professional colored for over 15 years now. I spent 14
years going to the same company but was in a pitch right before my wedding and went
to Salon Blast off a recommendation. They totally came through for me! I have never
had so many people comment about the color or my cuts then I have after visiting
Salon Blast. Tim is magnificent. I love that he can remember things we talked about
the last time I was in and how great my hair looks when I leave. They really do know
how to take care of you. I didn?t feel like I was being ignore or anything, just
different. You need to speak up about what you like or don?t like at times or they
tend to do what is in fashion for haircuts at the moment for whatever your face
shape is. But I always get a consultation talk before the cutting or coloring of
my hair, and he does listen if you tell them what you want. It is costly if you
are used to Great Clips for a haircut but worth every penny trust me and a
little less then other normal salon in town when it comes to foils. I get great attention.

Pros: Listening

Ratings_icons Very Happy

clemonsday

I have very curly hair and I like to wear it straight. I believe that most stylists
cringe at the notion of blowdrying long curly hair. I asked the salon for a stylist
who wouldn't shy away from the task and who would be able to do good work with my
type of hair and they recommended Juan. I requested a layered cut that would
frame my face and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, Juan took extra time and used
both a blower and a straightening iron to ensure I got the look I wanted. He was
patient and confident which put me at ease. What resulted was a wonderful cut and
straight silky hair. And what was really amazing was that the end product withstood
a rainy/ Seattle weather. I will definitely be back!

Pros: I didn't have to wait. Staff was professional and curteous.

I don't normally write reviews, but Salon Blast deserves praise. I recently moved to Seattle to start a new job. Two days before moving I got a disastrous haircut in another city - on the order of a "divot" of hair missing from my head - no joke! I found Tim Wilson and Salon Blast through Citysearch. He managed to mend the damage and over the past few months has helped my create a new style and new look. With his gentle encouragement I have even entered the world of coloring, with fabulous results. I have lived in many cities, across the US and abroad, and this is ceratainly the best salon I have been to.

Pros: great technique and coloring, fits your look to your personality and lifestyle

Cons: none that I have found

Ratings_icons A color, and shape worth recommending

wcade

My hair was in bad shape, then I found Mariah on CitySearch. She gave me one of the best cuts I've ever had. She toned my over processed hair (which was contrary to my skin tone) and created a color that truly matches my skin. It has been one and half weeks and I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY HAIR. She actually told me not to come back for a while so I can have more growth and my hair can get healthy ( I am getting married in August- so I want it to look good). I mean how many stylists are so honest that instead of recommending I come back in two weeks so he can make more money - she actually told me what was in the best interest of my hair. So yeah- I think I found a new home for my hair.

Pros: Good Price, friendly, a lot of compliments

I went here on a whim purely on the basis of the reviews on Citysearch hoping
that the other reviewers were not wrong. After discussing and thinking about my
haircut, Mariah gave me a cut that has held up to my washing and self styling -
I was very happy when I left, but wanted to see how much was Mariahs? skillful
styling. I'm very satisfied both with the cut and the salon in general. Service
was courteous - No suggestions that I try their other services or purchase
products. I arrived 3 minutes early and was taken 2 minutes early - how
delightful. I will definitely return.

They may have lots of training but it doesn't seem to be put to use.

I am a life long Vidal Sassoon junkie, and while on holiday I was in need of a new look. I asked the concierge for the best salon in the city and he recommended Salon Blast. To my delight I realized that the staff was trained in the Vidal Sassoon technique. I was even more delighted when I found out the Tim, whom I think is the head colorist, if not he should be. He had also trained at the London Academy . In short the experience was by all means pleasurable and I received nothing but compliments from friends and family. My mate especially likes it.

of my hair in the past few months and had tried to color it myself at home. The
result was an uneven mess. Mariah was understanding and helped me decide on a
color and highlight combination that would be close to my natural color with some
funky, modern flair. Not only did my hair turn out FANTASTIC, but I had the best
time while having it done. Mariah is so friendly and warm, and we had a great time
chatting - she is so easy to talk to. Mariah and Salon Blast gave me world-class

I went to this salon after having found them on this web site. I was booked with the owner for a cut and foil. Although he was friendly enough my hair sucked! There were these spots where the color had come out of the foils. My hair looks blotchy. It is the worst color I have ever had. The cut was not much better. I felt rushed through. I certainly would never go back. I'm not really sure why this salon has such good ratings.

Ratings_icons Finally...exceptional cut and color!

barbt

Since moving to the Seattle area 6 1/2 years ago, I have tried almost every one of the highly- advertised, well-recognized salons in the area, and have paid much too much for average haircuts and poor color. Each time I scheduled my appointment at a new salon, I specifically requested a stylist with a special talent for cutting curly hair. I also requested a skilled colorist. After each appointment, I returned to Portland to the stylist I had worked with for several years to have her do color correction and a new cut. Tim really understood the color I was looking for, and was able to integrate his vision with mine to give me the best color I've had in years along with a new cut that I am receiving compliments on daily. My experience at Salon Blast was so refreshingly positive and professional --- and by that I don't mean just cleverly marketed to appear professional. I was not rushed through my appointment, and felt that my satisfaction with the cut and color was very important to Tim. His extensive training, skill, and commitment to providing exceptional results without the false hype will keep me returning and telling anyone who asks that I am exceedingly pleased with Tim and his salon.

Pros: Great atmosphere and superior service

Cons: Absolutely none!

I needed an updo for the wedding, and I found Salon Blast on citysearch. I got an appointment, and wound up having the happiest experience of my trip. Tim, and I speak the same langage of color, and fashion. He saw fresh ideas for my color tones, and shape, so I gave him a green light, and let him go for it. He gave me such a marvelous fresh look. I am even amazed. This guy really challenges himself each year with extended training, and hair fashion educations. He trains with the Vidal Sassoon advanced education team in London, and keeps his deplomas at his work station. He just knows ellegance, and how to make a person look, and represent beauty. The color, shape, and updo were perfect. These guys project no attitudes. He's just a very focused, gracous designer, and I am glad to give him alot of credit. All thanks to citysearch

I just turned 39, and wanted to update my hair style. My co workers kept recommending the stylists at Salon Blast. Four of them are loyal clients. They all look like Glam girls. Fresh, and current.
I made an appointment for a consultation. We examned the drab, dry color from the over bleaching that my previous colorist had done. Tim showed me pictures, and explained how my face shape, and skin tones would work with the right color formula.
What a great professional. His ability is just short magic. My new shape frames my eyes. The hair looks fuller. The color is excellent with lots of rich depth. There is good body ,and a shine that I haven't had in years. I can wash my hair, do nothing else, and it falls perfectly.
He really deserves being recognised as one of the best stylist in Seattle.

I went and saw Tim about a month ago after having let my hair go for far too long without a cut or color. I was trying to find a new stylist and that can be a very nerve-racking experience! I knew right away that Tim was a great guy and he made me feel totally at ease. Since getting my hair cut and colored I have heard nothing but compliments and the big difference between that and any other haircut I've gotten is they all want to know exactly where and who did it. I have already run out of his business cards so I guess i'll have to go back for another stack! :) Thanks Tim!! I'll see ya soon!

He showed me pictures of him with Vidal Sasson at the North American Hair awards. It was very impressive. I am a natural red head, and not at all conservative. I just trusted him and let him do what turned out to be a magical work of art. I have been stopped on the streets and been marveled at by strangers over my hair cut, and color. I cann't get over how nice I look. He called me the day after my service, and tried to have me return for a complimentary follow up visit. I had to leave town for home, however I would have gone. He really is an Ambassator to his trade.

Pros: I took the bus from down town in 10 minutes

Cons: There are none

I went to Salon Blast last Friday and saw Tim Wilson. He was the greatest stylist ever. All his suggestions were on the point. His is very knowledgeable. His hair cut technique was impeccable and the cut came out better then I could dream. I highly recommend him.

Pros: Skills, atmosphere, price

Cons: parking

Saw Mariah at Salon Blast this evening and got the best color i've had in years! I feel absolutely fabulous! The salon has a great neighborhood feel - unpretentous and comfortable. Mariah spent a good amount of time 'consulting' prior to starting her work and I found her both friendly and funny. Her confidence gave me confidence! I recommend getting in while you can ... she's new to Seattle from LA and I'm certain she will be gaining quite a following.

Ratings_icons Be Ready for a Transformation

I live in the neighborhood and walked into Salon Blast cold one afternoon when my regular stylist moved to the East Side and started charging too much. I was desperate--looking and feeling middle-aged and frumpy. Aaron sympathized and took me in hand.

He lightened my hair color and styled my hair shorter and trendier and I walked out several hours later looking radiant, with a huge smile on my face. A customer in the adjacent chair said it was the first time he had seen someone so transformed, and my husband, friends, and co-workers loved it. I continue to get many compliments on my hair cut and color, and have referred countless people to Aaron in last five years.

With this talent Aaron could charge a lot moreand work about anywhere he wants, but he likes the mellow atmosphere and lack of pretension of this neigborhood salon. Our good fortune!

Pros: Talent, neighborhood feel, flexible hours

Cons: parking

I got myself into trouble by having a friend color my hair on a Sunday. I called around to try to get somebody to help me with my hair and it was not easy at 5pm on a Sunday evening like that. But at Salon Blast I got help! I was extremely satisfied with my haircut and color. I won't go to anybody else after that experience! Thank you Tim!!!

Ratings_icons Definately the best hair cut I have ever had.

One of my mom's friends at work referred her to Salon Blast and her and my sister both went and got a haircut and color there. When they came home, I was blown away by how incredible their hair looked. I have never seen my sister or my mom look that good before..at least hair wise. As soon as I saw both of them I knew I had to go to Salon Blast to get my hair done. So I did and it was totally worth it. I have never had my hair colored before and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it so I told Joseph to do whatever he wants with it. He picked the perfect color highlights and did a fantastic cut. I came out looking gorgeous and have had non-stop compliments on my hair from everyone I know. And I gave Joseph's phone number to all of my friends so they can have him do thier hair since he is fabulous :) The entire salon is fantastic. The people are great, the place is clean and hip and most importantly, my hair was incredible and I am definately coming to Salon Blast for every haircut and color I ever get from here on out.

Pros: Good parking space available, great customer service, all around fabulous service

I have been going to Aaron for ten years. My cut and color are always good, flattering and done with
such care that it looks great between appointments. I have also had the opportunity to see how he works with other clients when I show up early. He is always creative and thoughtful with his clients no matter if they are male or female, young or old, special occasion or time for a trim. He is the only stylist I have ever followed and the only one I have stayed with for longer than a few years, because he has the depth of talent to sustain great service.

Ratings_icons He knows his stuff..................

dtewing

I have been a loyal client of Tim's for about 10 yr's. His expertise of current color trends and hair styles are always right on point. Additionally, Tim will shoot straight with you about looks that flatter and others that might do the opposite. INformative and concise, he is on the cutting edge of what--I'd consider--most people look for when seeking out a hair stylist. Tim has sufficient years in the business and knows his stuff. I'd recommend him to everyone......whether age 18 or age 80....he simply has this innate feel for what his clients are wanting to achieve. Plus he's kind and generous and always tries to make as much time as he possibly can for his clients. That's why I've kept coming back after all thes years. Donna Ewing/Redmond

I came to Salon Blast because I was fed up with where I had previously been going to get my hair done and my husband, Dave, suggested coming to see Tim who he had been going to for 11 ? years not to mention my brother-in-law for even longer to get their hair cut. So I thought if they both are willing to drive to Seattle-UW University District area from the Woodinville-Eastside area than he must be worth it. The commute is actually easy and OH, hes worth it! Tim is FABULOUS! I have had Tim cut my hair three times now. He restored my hair health on the first visit and listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed it! I love my hair and so does my husband. He also gives great hair care solutions too! Visit the Salon Blast home page!
