I loved Amanda and I love what she does to my hair!
by Nina K.
I have been going to Amanda for over a year now for a cut and color. I love my hair!! I have never had it so short in my life, I have always had a bob haircut and she suggested cutting my hair short. So she did it and she highlighted it and it's darling, if I say so myself! I think she is really good at what she does and she is so customer service oriented. I really enjoy going to her and feel totally confident that whatever she does to my hair, will look great!
And it always does! I would highly recommend her!

A Sylist with a Bad Disposition...
by Anonymous
I have always been hesitant to try out new salons because I love my hair and am always afraid someone will mess it up.
At this salon my fears became reality. I watched as she cut inch after inch of my hair. I pushed aside my fears and decided to trust her, which was a huge mistake.
While blow drying my hair after washing I noticed it definitely did not look like it was supposed to (I got the generic haircut seen on most 20-somethings). I tried straightening it and realized she had given me a modern day mullet. The only remedy is to either braid it or put it up, curling worked alright as well.
I called on the weekend and the stylist was not available. I have never been in this position so I asked her what I should do. She agreed that I should ask for a refund. I did exactly this.
My stylist responded by saying I was personally attacking her, that she has never had a complaint before (which I know to be untrue), and that I was going to have bad karma. Then she tried to put the blame on me saying I didn't know what I wanted and I didn't know how to style my hair. She further tried to make me feel horrible because I wanted my money back and the only reason I was complaining was because I was money hungry. At one point she tried to tell me I was raised improperly. She said she would give me 1/2 of what I paid and finally gave in and gave me a full refund (of course this was after an 11min conversation).
I am a very cool headed individual and hate confrontation. I normally will just let issues ride themselves out because I would rather not make a fuss.

Truly talented hair and color professional
by alisedona
I have had many mediocre or disappointing results with color and hair, never finding the right fit throughout the years. I finally went to see Amanda on a recommendation of a good friend after I noticed a change in her hairstyle and commenting on how good it looked.
I have never looked back! Amanda was able to cut, color and style my hair so beautifully. The color, especially was masterfully done to bring out my features. I have never received so many compliments and requests on who cuts my hair. I wish I had found her sooner! It's now been a few years. Even when I can't get to her for a few weeks, my hair still looks great even after it has long outgrown the cut. I take this to be a sign of a good stylist and good choice of cut. Even the way she colors is forgiving when it grows out and I'm not able to get to the salon.
Pros: passionate about color

Great Cuts and Color
by styleme
I love seeing Amanda not only because she gives a fabulous hair cute and color, but she also brings a creative and thoughtful perspective for trying new things. I also have very thick hair, so often times stylists have a difficult time managing my hair. This is not the case for Amanda! Not only does she understand how to work with my hair, but she also does it in record time! She is the neatest and fastest hair dresser I've ever had!

Full-Service Hair Salon
by SueRockwell
I stopped in at Amanda's salon one day to just get a consultation about my cut and color and to find out her pricing. I was tired of paying exorbidant prices for color that I did not like. Amanda was great; she just talked to me and was willing to let me walk out the door after answering my questions but I then asked her, "Do you have time now?" She did so I sat in her chair and watched my style, and even more importantly, my color come back to life! I received so many compliments. The thing I am noticing after 3 appointments with Amanda is that my color seems to last longer and my cut grows out a lot better than I have ever experienced. I love the fact that Amanda is a specialist in styling and color so I can get everything done in one appointment with one person. It is apparent to me that Amanda is very concerned with her customer's satifation and I really appreciate that too! The icing on the cake is that her prices are very reasonable and she is located very conveniently to my home.
Pros: The same person cuts and colors my hair. Great value.

Outstanding color correction!
by maryann7
Amanda is an artist in creating the color to fit your own coloring. The first time I went to her, she did a color correction following an unsatisfactory color done at a high-end salon in the city. She uses only the best products, and you can tell the difference, not only when you leave with your new color treatment, but as the weeks go by before your next color. She is personally responsive to your own hopes, and has often made a special appointment to prepare me for a special event or trip. She is a true professional, having had a very popular salon in Portland and is now creating her new shop here in Seattle.
Pros: Color skill, customizing, and reasonable cost

Professional and Personal!!!
by ChristinaBailey1225
I've been a client of Amanda's for a year now and always leave her salon looking great. Her understanding of how to work with color to create a natural yet striking look is her signature talent. Amanda is also a wealth of information regarding the latest trends in cuts, products and of course, all the typical "girl stuff" that make the visits fun and helpful!!! Thanks Amanda.

Professional and Friendly
by emeraldcitysister
Amanda is enthusiastic and genuine in her approach to each client. She loves what she does, and it shows. She gives excellent cuts and great color, and possesses a great deal of technical knowledge. Amanda is confident, works quickly (with great results), and always makes you feel at home in her chair. She's also versatile: my husband and elderly mother both leave her salon looking wonderful every time! I have tried MANY hair salons in Seattle over the years, and Amanda's is right up there at the top of the list.

Master of cut and color
by hollyknb
I can always count on Amanda to create a masterpiece of color. She really knows her highlights. What's more important is she listens to what you want, which is very important as we all know! It is always a pleasure to get my cut and color.

Best Color and cuts!
by ntam
I've been going to Amanda since my college days at UW.... almost 8 years ago. She always has the best style cuts for me and the most wonderful color techniques. I've grown from just a kid to a working corporate woman. My hair cut and color are always stylish and appropriate as I evolve into new phases of my life. She remembers everything we talk about and all my likes and dislikes, but still suggests new techniques, colors or cuts if she thinks it will suit me. Great Job!
Pros: amanda, appt. flexibility, cost
Cons: Can drive by if not paying attention

Amazing color & Stylish cuts
by lillybud
Amanda offers great cut and color. I saw many friends who had their hair cut or colored by Amanda and really liked her work. When I was ready to get my first highlights I turned to Amanda. She chose a great stylish cut that complements my busy lifestyle of being a mother and chose a great color that complements my natural hair color. I haven't gone anywhere else since. Try it for yourself!
Pros: lots of magazines, toys for kids, no product pushing
Cons: hard to find the first time

Amazing with color!
by lindsayanne
Amanda was such a lucky find! I had just moved to seattle a year ago and needed to find a hair stylist (which can be a nightmare of a process!) A Touch of Color was the first place I went to, and I absolutly loved my experience! Amanda has such a talent with color, and everytime I go back she has new ideas for me. Prices are totally afordable and I can call and usually get an appointment within hours! Amanda also uses high-end products, so the color never fades and my hair has never looked healthier!

Amanda Touch of Color Salon
by sanmic
Amanda has cut, colored, and styled my hair for about six years. She is particularly skilled with scissors, if sometimes a little overzealous so it pays to keep tabs on just how long or short you want her to cut your hair. Her cuts however are always well-executed. What is more, she keeps up-to date with new techniques and frequently attends hairstyling conferences to learn about new styles, products, and methods. Unlike many hairdressers, she pays attention to individual likes and needs.

I will look no further
by brindlebacon
I was so lucky to find this place. Amanda gave such wonderful service. Her talent in finding the perfect tones for my skin color and finding the perfect hair length and cut for my face just astounded me. She made sure that i had natural looking tones in my hair so that when it grows out it doesn't look obvious that i haven't been to the salon in a while.
I have gone from salons that just ruined my hair. The color would last for only a week and fade out to a ugly orange.
But after my experience at The touch of color salon i have to say that i will go no where else. I left in such a great mood. Not only does my hair look great but its healthy too. I have so much confidence i don't have to tie it up and hide my hair, all i have to do is dry my hair and add a little shining serum and I am well off for the day.
I definitely recommend this salon to everyone.
Pros: Excellent Service, Plenty of Magazines, Upbeat Music
Cons: Parking was hard to find at first but there is hidden parking in the back.
