SEVEN, Seattle - (206) 462-3235

I have been going to Tony for 6 years now and I no longer spend time wondering what will make my hair look better. Strangers walk up to me to compliment me on my hair. I leave all my hair decisions up to Tony, one of 7's top stylists. That is what he is trained to do; cut for the shape on my bone structure and body and color for my skin tone and eye color. I plan to use Tony as our head hair stylist in the Bates Technical College fashion show at the Sewing & Stitchery 2010 show.

After months of trying to find the perfect hair connection, I found Krystal at Seven, Seattle. LOVE HER! Already referred 3 new clients....almost afraid I won't be able to get appointments with her now, but she's so incredible everyone needs to know. She listens, has a great 'eye' and truly wants YOU to be your best.

Cher at 7 gave me an amazing haircut that I am complimented on everyday. She was able to give me a cut that brought out my best features. She did my hair very artistically and I love it! I would highly recommend Cher! She also gave me the 7 products and they work great for me. The clean, fresh scent of the shampoo, along with the non-greasy polish keep my hair healthy and looking fabulous. Thank you Cher!

This place has a hip, trendy atmosphere. There is a DJ, loud music, and a barista that makes great lattes. The magazines are all high-fashion (think famous designers, catwalk shows), with no US Weekly or Cosmo in sight. It's fun but not especially cozy. However, I care more about quality of service. I saw Tonya for a partial foil and cut. She did a good job on the color, but my hair turned out more yellow than the ashy blonde I usually get. But that's my fault for not telling her. I guess I thought she knew because my hair was a light ashy blonde when I walked in. It still looks very good though.She said I'd need to come in again for a toner rinse to get that light color again. The cut was nothing special. It probably only took her 10 minutes. I just asked for a trim and a little more shape. But really, even I can't see a difference. It was a little disappointing, but I guess it was just a "trim." I'd give Tonya a 3.5 overall. The price was about what I usually pay. The total came to $165, plus I added a $30 tip. Pricey but expected. My only issue with Tonya was that she was pretty pushy. She was really pressing me to buy the Hair Mask and shampoo/conditioner. She started lecturing me after I admitted to using the Neutrogena intensive hair mask. Anyway, I got suckered into buying the hair mask and don't think it's as good as my usual Neutrogena stuff. Tonya was also pushy about getting me to come in every 6 weeks for color as opposed to my usual 3 months. I thought this was weird because even she said nobody would notice my natually blonde roots growing out. Nobody even knows I get highlights because my hair is so light naturally. I suspect that anyone that gives this place 5 stars is swayed by the atmosphere and is probably not very discerning about the quality of service. I think 4 stars is generous.

Lindsay first cut my hair about 5 years ago. I recently moved back to seattle and I was in luck because she still works at Seven (even though they moved locations). I was thrilled! Got my hair cut yesterday - the space is a little intense, but Lindsay remembered me, and remembered my hair (even though it was completely different from when she cut it before). She evaluated my face, hair texture, etc and got to work. I left Seven feeling fabulous. I am loving my new, short hair cut - and I'm glad Seven is such a great place to work, that I was able to find Lindsay still working there! My hair is thick and fairly course. It also has natural curl. It's hard to get a short hair cut that is complimenting to my face...but Lindsay does it. I'm digging my new hair - thanks Lindsay!!
