I have had my hair cut and coloured 2x with Nancy at Shampoo Bar, I picked it from reading reviews here on citysearch, it was very appealing that her products are organic and non toxic. I love her!! I love the salon, it's kind of tiki mix with parisian french wall art, very comfortable to hang out in with great selection of reading material while the hair is cooking. I have found that when you go to large establishments you feel like a number on a conveyor belt, not here, she takes her time, adds colours if she thinks that something is missing, you feel like your really being taken care of and I have complete trust in her work, it is as social as you want to be, sometimes you go to salons and it's exhausting since you have to have a whole long conversation with everyone who comes within 3 feet of your hair,not here, you get to chat as much or as little as you want. She is receptive to hearing what you want for your hair and making it work for you, not cookie cutter in the least From someone who has traveled all over the country (literally from canada to south carolina to alaska and many many places in between for my job and stay there for longish periods of time) I have to say I have found no better place to get your hair cut if you are looking for the personal experience. It should also be noted that there are an assortment of products for sale but no pressure to purchase anything, I have previously been to Gary Manual here in Seattle and found that the products were shoved down my throat as if they were not already making enough money on me in the first place, Nancy tells you about what is being used on you and the discussion is over unless you ask questions, (since i know you read the reviews, thanks so much for the shampoo that i did buy this time, it worked great!!)
Pros: hours, cost, parking, attention to detail
Cons: nothing
