I love Thomas! I started coming to him about 5 months ago and he is great! Other hair salons I've been to before cut your hair how THEY want. However, Thomas really listens to what YOU want and also he really takes his time to make sure your hair looks flawless. Also, this salon has reasonable prices. I came back to Thomas about a week ago to do a blonde balayage. I LOVE IT! I've been getting so many compliments from friends and coworkers. I was nervous at first because I've had black hair my whole life and was scared of a change but thanks to Thomas I'm not scared of change anymore. I will keep coming to Thomas until he retires haha! :) Also, I love that Chroma is so good at responding to messages. When I request an appointment I usually hear back right away. read more

Chroma Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chroma Salon in Wallingford is the best! I have been going to Sher for my blonde balayage and hair cuts for about 9 years now, and you couldn't ask for anyone better! Sher is the best stylist/colorist I've ever been to. And a total sweetheart, too! She also cuts my husband's hair, and he loves her too! Highest recommendation!! read more

Amazing service I had with Jennifer. She have me a wonderful cleanup on my hair, trimmed my Mohawk down to the size/length I wanted it, refreshed my blue hair color and had a very rad conversation/heartfelt moments about life,the loss of loved ones and delicious foods to try. Wonderful experience all around, along with the rest of the salon. Wonderful staff. read more

Great service every time I go in for a haircut. Consistent. Friendly. Stylists always know what they are doing.

Attention blondes: I highly recommend Sheridan for highlights and a great experience! My hair is flawless and I'm super happy with it

Brittany R. did an excellent job with my wife's dark brown hair. It can be quite difficult to color, and the balayage work was done with a lot of care. My wife was extremely happy with the results! Brittany was so friendly, took time to understand exactly what my wife wanted, and made the whole experience very enjoyable :) Will return!! read more

Amazing!! Loved my haircut so much. Lots of attention to detail and making sure my haircut was everything I wanted :) Left feeling pretty and glamorous. read more

I chose Chroma since it's the nearest salon using trustworthy products. And I'm happy I did. My hair cut was exactly what I wanted. I just showed the picture and Thomas did a great job. Definitely going to be my new salon!! read more

I am 110% sure I've found the good good. Thomas is a godsend and a really cool dude. If you want your hair to be perfect and have a good time, I really recommend you come here. I have been to various salons around the UDistrict and none have made me feel as welcome and confident as Chroma has! I called in to see if they had a walk in appointment and they were very flexible and happened to have a spot open. I zoomed on over and was in and out within an hour. I have medium length hair that has been damaged by Chlorine and never really know what to expect because I have coarse dry hair. Chroma uses Aveda products, which is great because I got a great scalp/shoulder massage with great smelling oils. Thomas was really understanding and made sure I was 100% confident in what he was about to do with my hair. I went from a medium length cut to a cute short cut. He even curled my hair after! Bless you, kind soul. Can't wait to come back! read more

Just got back from Chroma, and I'm VERY happy with how my hair looks. Jordan did a great job of listening to me and delivering exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be going back. read more

I have been going to Sheridan as my hair artist for the better part of this year and I couldn't be happier!!! She is an amazing artist and I receive so many compliments on my hair now! read more

This review is long overdue! Brittany has been my color and style magician for over a year now - and that's saying a lot because I'm super picky about how my hair is done. The amount of compliments I receive entirely support this! My Aveda red is always amazing and my black low-lights make it pop. My cut and styling, well... past stylists, even those I liked, would often send me away with my fine hair laying rather flat. Brittany knows how to toss in the right amount of curl and body, so that my hair is always on point. Thanks, lady! read more

Finding a home-base salon is always tricky when moving to a new city. I checked out this location based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. I've been to this location two times for cut and color, both with excellent results. Two specifics that exceeded my expectations: (1) The stylists record the exact formula they use for coloring you hair, which is a great reference point for future visits and makes handoffs between stylists easy. (2) They work a hand massage into the appointment, which is super nice and should be a best practice for all salons. read more

A good hair cut is as much about the stylist as it is the cut itself. Riane has been cutting my hair for about three years and is the best! She is friendly and always makes my hair look incredible. And the salon! Aveda has the whole olfactory thing nailed. Everything smells amazing! Riane starts you off with this super relaxing aromatherapy scalp and neck massage. Then when I get my hair washed, she gives a hand massage. The salon is also doing a hair treatment special right now until the end of April for 10$ (normally $30), and while it was soaking in, she put these warm towels over my head a couple of times. I felt like a princess and my hair feels like silk and smells out of this world. I keep touching and smelling my hair. Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

I was desperate to get the brassy mess out of my hair and consequently, it's a holiday weekend. After calling about 6 salons who were all booked, I sent out a mass Yelp request for an appointment. The owner of Chroma was the first to respond quickly and had a morning appointment for me. Thank you! Riane was very sweet, professional and attentive. The scalp aromaTherapy,AMAZING TEA and hand massage were details I haven't experienced in other salons. I am thrilled with the outcome of my first appointment! read more

I very sadly had a bad experience at this salon. The place was nice and my stylist was friendly and fun BUT the haircut was terrible. I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad haircut until now. I have hair that is a shoulder length bob with heavy bangs. I basically just wanted him to take out some of the extra weight maybe with a few layers and trim my bangs back to eyebrow length, keeping them super straight across. I couldn't tell at the salon what a disaster my hair was because although I told the stylist that I wear it super straight he used a giant round brush and blow dryer and made it huge, poofy and wavy. My bangs seemed a little funny at the time but again I thought that was because of how he had styled them. They were splitting right down the middle...something no one with bangs ever wants! When I got home and used my flat-iron I started seeing what he had done to my hair and I was SO SHOCKED. Instead of some nice blended layers, I'm not kidding, I had one layer literally chopped into the middle of my head with random long hair hanging underneath. The layer went around the middle of my whole head in a straight line like a weird shelf. I then started attempting to fix my bangs with the flat iron and realized that what ever had done to them had created a middle split that has still not gone away, and they were as long as when I had entered the salon. When I show people what it looks like they basically all scream. Wow, sorry Holland, you messed up. read more

This place is great, and Mandy is AWESOME! I was a new customer and had an appointment with her after work one day. Traffic was bad so I called to say I might be 10 minutes late; she was totally okay with it (I ended up being on time). I had a general vision for what changes I wanted to see with a new haircut, but I was also open to her suggestions. Her knowledge about hair textures, cuts, styling, and products was excellent and her suggestions worked wonderfully. She started by giving me an amazing head massage before the shampoo (which was another great head massage!). She used only a single styling product before round-brush drying my new cut. All-in-all, her service was top-notch and her friendly disposition was so appreciated. I'll definitely be back to see her. As a note, the other stylists in the salon were also really pleasant and helpful while I was there. The space was clean, not cluttered, and bright. The prices were reasonable, too. A great salon in Wallingford - very happy I found them. read more

I've been seeing Brittney for over two years... and let me tell you, my hair has never looked better, been healthier, or turned more heads. Transitioning from razor pixie short hair was one of the most frustrating things I've done. She graciously taught me how to style, treat, care for, and live through the transition. Now I know it's only hair, but the level of trust I put in her is completely out of character for me (just ask my boyfriend). But every six weeks I tell her 'do whatever you want' and I come out looking like a Disney princess. She is a hair ninja. The colour and dimensions are out of this world gorgeous, the cut always flattering and she's a complete sweetheart to top it off. She also convinced me to switch nearly all of my hair products over to Aveda and that changed the shine game for my hair. So... If you need a cut, colour or some glorious smelling hair products go to Chroma and see Brittney. You won't be disappointed. read more

Was looking for a new place to get a haircut and was new to the area so walked in to Chroma and had a haircut/scalp massage with Brittany and was wowed by the experience. So much so, I haven't gone anywhere else for a haircut and it's been almost 2 years! Britany starts the experience with some deep breaths and fragrant oils to get you relaxed then offers suggestions as to what would look good with your head shape/hair type then works away on presenting the best you. Especially because half the time, I have no idea what looks best with my lack of fashion sense. She's there to consult and advise on fashion and style tips and tricks. I used to go to a traditional barber but after working with Brittany and consistently receiving compliments from friends about my hair and the spa like experience you get with every visit I never went back. Not to mention, the best scalp massages this side of the Mississippi. Brittany raises the bar when it comes to getting your haircut. Once a task I dreaded having to do, now has become a relaxing hobby I look forward to thanks to Brittany. If you're looking for a world class stylist, book an appt with Brittany. read more

Love this place. Took my fiance here to get his haircut and tehy did a great job. Friends of ours recommended it and we could not be happier with the service and the haircut. Beth cut his hair and did a great job. We always request someone who is good with mens hair because he likes a good haircut (who doesn't) and she was great. I got my brows done there by Cerice and she did an awesome job on them. I've had previous experiences where they took off way too much, but she did them perfectly and I will be going back again in a month or two. Chroma has a great selection of Aveda products and a really great atmosphere. There is lots of street parking around the area. I don't know if they had a parking lot because we always just park on the street in seattle, but it was no problem and it's not paid parking which is always nice. :-) read more

Brittany is a phenomenal stylist! She is an active listener who asks the right questions to understand your needs! I always feel understood and excited about what she will come up with! I absolutely love my hair and my experience at Chroma every time! Brittany is a natural artists who has an eye for color. She is skilled as ever and always professional. Let me just say her Aveda stress relieving scalp and hand massages are out of this world. read more

Chroma Salon - Before and After with Brittany! She's amazing! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cerise has been my stylist for 4 years and even though I now live in port Townsend, I make the trek to Seattle every 6 weeks for a cut and color. She is the best! I get many compliments every time she does my hair. Cerise is fast, accurate and fun! She also does an excellent job waxing and is a great makeup artist. I won't trust my head to anyone else in Seattle. Chroma is also a comfortable, mellow salon, well stocked with all the Aveda products. read more

I didn't know Chroma had a Spa as part of the salon until last week. I had the pleasure of meeting Myra, a recent graduate of the Gary Manual Aveda school here in Seattle. I must say , her facial service was simply sublime and I left feeling fully relaxed yet invigorated. Myra has created a beautiful Spa environment and her service is absolutely top rate. If your looking for a great spa experience I can't recommend her and Chroma highly enough!! read more

I've been seeing Tara for almost 5 years now. Today I had my last appointment before I move to another state and I can't believe I haven't left a review sooner. In the time I've seen her we went to dark brown to a light blonde. I love that Tara will help you achieve your hair goals but also maintain your hair health. Unlike most stylists I've seen in the past Tara will actually make recommendations on the best path to take. I've referred 2 friends to see her and would highly recommend anyone to make an appointment. read more

Chroma Salon - Blonde Hair by Tara. Always so happy with my results! - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chroma Salon in Wallingford has that mellow good vibe blended with upscale and skilled professionals that I feel every Aveda salon strives for. It was such a refreshing change from some of the other local Aveda salons I have tried throughout the years. Mandy, one of the many master stylists is a must see. That is, if you want to feel listened to, get an experienced opinion and walk out feeling great! read more

After getting a couple of terrible haircuts in the area from barbers, I finally decided to give this salon a try. I got a great haircut from Thomas so I'll be going to him from now on. The hand and scalp massages are a nice added touch too. read more

Not only is this salon really cute and conveniently located, their stylist Riane is absolutely adorable. She is a wizard with hair and I always leave feeling amazing. She actually listens to what you want and helps figure out what will look best, all while carrying on great conversation. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! read more

Those of us who frequently get highlights/balayages know that you are signing-up for a LOT of chair time when you are in the salon. That being said, Riane was such a delight to chat with and was extremely open and helpful in helping me find the right hair styling to achieve the "look" I wanted. Can't wait to continue as a regular! read more

I am overjoyed with my experience with Chroma. I used to go to another Aveda salon in Tacoma and was excited, although a bit nervous, to try the one in Wallingford. I ended up seeing Riane who was nothing but amazing. We talked through what I wanted and she went into a level of detail I had never experienced with a stylist. She shared with me that she had just attended a balayage class and tried her new techniques on my hair. I am ecstatic with the result and feel so confident about my new color. Poor Riane is probably out of business cards after I grabbed a handful to give out to all of my friends. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone, if you want a personalized experience Riane is your gal! read more

I tried a new salon today for highlights, grey coverage and color and loved Anessa! She did a great job and it looks great! Thank you!

Brittany helped me update my hair style and make it look modern. Finally my hair doesn't look like it did 10 years ago! LOVE IT! Her technique is amazing and so is the communication style. The place is cute and clean, plenty of parking in the street. I will definitely be a regular customer here. Thank you, Brittany! read more

Unfortunately I had a horrible experience at this salon. The salon itself is very nice looking and they use Aveda products so I was excited to try this place out. I came in for the first time and was told Michelle would be my hairdresser. When I met her she was very pleasant and nice but asked me over 5 times " ..so how do you want your hair cut again?" This scared me, she didn't listen very well. All I wanted was a trim. I have straight across bangs and only wanted them trimmed a small amount. She repeatedly asked me how I wanted my bangs cut, my final words were "just as long as you don't cut them above my brows, they'll be fine" she immediately cut them far above my brows. (See picture) I was in shock and actually burst into tears when I saw my bangs, I asked her multiple times why she did that and I got nothing back from her expect a very quiet "sorry"... She turned me away from the mirror and continued cutting my hair as I cried in the chair, never stopping to ask if I was okay or making a plan to see how we could fix the situation, the owner walked by repeatedly and looked at me and never asked me if I was ok. Not a word was said to me. When she finished my hair it was frizzy and unstyled and my bangs were far above my brows and uneven. No product was ever put into my hair. I actually asked if I could please see the flat iron and some hair oil and proceeded to style my own hair b/c I could not leave looking that way. I tried my hardest to be polite to Michelle and not make her feel any worse, but I was in complete shock at the entire situation and couldn't help but cry when I saw what she did to my bangs. The owner watched the whole thing and never stepped in. As I went to the counter to pay, the owner finally addressed the situation and did not ask for payment, he offered to have me return to fix my bangs w/ a more experienced stylist. I declined b/c I knew there was no way to add the inches that she took off back on, only time could do that. I'm sure this is a great salon and that this is an isolated incident but I would never recommend anyone to see Michelle at the Wallingford location and I would recommend to Chroma salon, that if in the future something like this happens again, take the time to put your client at ease and fix the situation before proceeding.. read more

What a fabulous neighborhood gem! After reading the Yelp reviews, I decided to try this place out for myself and was very happy with the service and cut I got. I saw Chelsea and she was very professional, knowledgeable, and gave me a great cut and style. Plus, the scalp massage was ahhhhmazing. I purchased some product from her as well because she explained the benefits in a non-pushy way and communicated honestly what the product would do for my hair. I'll definitely be back. read more

Working with Riane to salvage my grown-out, over-processed bleached hair has been fantastic. She has transformed it into something that looks like I grew it out of my head! Riane does a great job of walking you through options, making suggestions, and ensuring you feel heard. I've walked away from her chair ecstatic after every appointment and would high recommend her. read more

Awesome hair salon! Super clean, great chill atmosphere and best of all, I love my haircut!!! =) Michelle was my stylist and she did an awesome job. She knew how to work with my hair (which does not work well with tons of layers even though so many stylists think that's the best idea) and pulled off a gorgeous short new haircut (went from long hair to just a little above my shoulder). She was super friendly and took care to make sure I was comfortable throughout. She made sure to remind me that there is complimentary bang trimming post-haircut so I won't have to worry about my bangs growing out and getting annoying. I loved her styling, not over the top, but just right to make me feel wonderful walking out the door. The head massage was an added bonus that definitely contributed to the relaxing environment. Definitely recommend this place and Michelle was a great stylist! read more

My long search is finally over! Tara worked magic on my brassy blonde hair. She listened (which is rare with hairdressers) and is awesome with color! The salon is very nice and relaxing. I'll definitely be back! I'm glad to have you in our neighborhood! read more

My mom and I Just love Mandy! She has been cutting our hair for a couple years now and she always does a great job! My mom has pretty fine slightly wavy hair, which is adorable but sometimes hard for stylists to cut, Mandy does a great job shaping it so that is grows out very nicely. She is always thoughtful and really listens to her clients. She has tons of experience, and such a sweet and fun attitude. If you need a great hair cut and want to have lots of fun while doing it definitely go see Many at Chroma on Wallingford!! read more

This is long overdue!!!Rianne is incredible! She is so talented and also listens. She has an eye for what looks good on each client and is excellent with both cut and color which is truly hard to find. I love getting my hair done by her!!!!! read more

Chroma is my new favorite place to get my hair cut/colored. My appointment with Lindsay went so well that my only regret is not trying this place sooner! The staff here clearly listen to their clients and make both scheduling and the actual color/cut an enjoyable, worthwhile experience. The salon itself isn't fancy, but it is clean and bright. Aveda products are always a plus. After a not-so-great appointment at a different salon, I'm so pleased to have my hair back to normal! read more
