This spacious and open layout salon is a gem in the heart of Belltown. Next to some of my favorite restaurants and businesses in town, it is easy to find, and generally easy to find parking around. Street parking is available via the pay by phone parking app or by calling it in via the 1-888 number and needs to be paid for until 8pm on M-Sat, free on Sundays and holidays. I was drawn to this salon by Stu, the talented barber who works out of the space on the right portion of the salon. I found him through Yelp and booked my appointment after sending a message through the app. On the afternoon of my appointment I walked over and was greeted by the nice receptionist up front, who asked if I needed any refreshments. I had some water before and after my undercut so that was a nice addition to the visit. Stu did an excellent job (see my review for his service on his Yelp business page.) I look forward to my next visit to this warm inviting space. read more

I found this salon one day when I walked by and was hesitant at first since it was never really full. However I decided to go in for a color and blow-dry since they had such easy appointment booking online and the prices were affordable. I set an appointment with Nicki. When I walked in I was immediately greeted and checked-in and was given a glass of water and taken to the waiting area. My appointment was for 2:30 and the stylist was with me on time. Nicki was very nice and immediately asked me what my vision was for my hair. She took the time to talk to me about options and even gave me pros and cons for each one. After discussion we decided and she got to styling. She worked really well and I appreciated that she explained what she was doing. After waiting for my color to develop she took me to wash my hair and WOW one of the best massages while getting shampooed. When it came to styling she asked me what I wanted and then styled my hair with messy waves using a flat iron which I loved. Overall I am so happy with my hair and the service. I walked in with orangey brassy hair and walked out with a warm rich chocolate brown! Yay! read more

New owner! New name! I still see Sun (Brenda) of course (: Although the salon do order a different brand of coloring now so it won't turn out the same if you were coming here before when it was the owners before "The Collage On First" Just FYI! Brenda does a great job with hair cuts, especially with layering! Originally why I've decided to check her out awhile ago. I did lose her for a moment then I had to stalk her so I can get a hair cut. LOL! Everyone has that ONE person that only touches their hair, brows, etc. When you find that person, definitely a keeper. Haha! I decided to give Brenda a try with coloring my hair, I love her work! It comes out just the way I like it!! I have dark hair so it was a process to get it where I wanted it to be. So if any of you want your hair colored, you must understand there is ALWAYS a process. Just be patient and have fun with it, don't freak out. Lol. If interested in scheduling an appointment with her, she goes by Sun (: read more

I've been coming to see Irene for years and I'm always blown away by her skills, professionalism, and honesty. In addition to her customer service, I always feel amazing when I leave her chair. One of the things I love most about Irene is her honesty. She's seen my hair through ups and downs and always keeps me aware of what she sees good or bad. She's not about just pushing services, she's serious about good hair. My hair is coarse but also fine so it will break if I even look at it wrong. She always keeps my hair healthy and fly. On top of that her customer service is amazing. I've never had to wait when l'm scheduled for an appointment. Hands down A+++++ read more

Steven Barrett is amazing. He works wonders for blondes and I'm so thankful to have found him. After moving to Seattle recently, I was on the on the hunt for a good hairdresser and had a couple bad experiences before finding The Collage. I also love that I can book online and the reception staff is super friendly. read more

TLDR; walked in to tone a platinum blonde, walked out with an uneven dark mahogany brown permanent dye job. Very little option to fix it other than chopping it off. I had been growing my hair from a platinum blonde pixie to a platinum blonde long bob for 2 1/2 years under the care of another colorist in another state. Hair was healthy. Work moved me to Seattle 6 months ago, and I came to Collage after hearing good things about them. The first few touch ups went great. Then, about 2 months ago, my colorist approached me about stopping the bleach and tone, because that was too much stress on the hair strand, etc. I wasn't ready to move away from the blonde, so we discussed giving me a temporary shadow root for me to try it out and see how I liked it. The first time the shadow root looked blotchy and had a weird tone to it. I chalked it off to a bad day, and came back to fix it that weekend at the colorist's request. He fixed the tone and faded it into my blonde hair beautifully. The dark was a little on the long side, but I figured we could work towards blending it in better as it went, since it was (supposed to be) non-permanent. Time comes to redo my roots, so I ask him to keep the darker roots, but bring the platinum blonde further up towards the scalp to look more even, to which he proceeds to tell that it can't be done since he would have to re-bleach my hair to get the dye out, and that would destroy my hair. This despite the agreement that I wasn't ready to move away from blonde, and it was all supposed to be temporary and easy to move back into a bleach and tone. I should have left then and there, but I gave him a chance and I tell him that I love the look and just to tone it. He agrees and goes on to tell me that he was going to warm it up a bit and maybe go a shade darker. Once he rinsed my hair, I had dark mahogany brown hair. The furthest from platinum cool blonde as you can get. I was running late for a night out with my husband, so I fought back the tears and walked out and figured it was just the shock of going so dark so fast. Three weeks have passed, I've visited two other colorists who tell me they can't fix my hair without major damage, and I'm stuck with permanent, uneven, red brown hair with some greenish streaks, unless I go even darker. I went from loving my hair to crying every time I catch a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and wanting to shave it off. read more

Went in today for my first appointment ever with Roxanne. I wanted my hair to look like Beyoncé on the cover of the Elle magazine for May! She did an amazing job. It looks exactly like the picture. I'll be back in July for a haircut! I'm so happy! read more

Bright clean and ready to find the salon. I have been going to Jason Farmer to get my haircut for years. This is a new location for him, but it's a good location and easy to get to. The front of the house staff is friendly and welcoming. Jason is an amazing barber. Highly recommend Jason. read more

I recently got my hair done here because crystal Jenkins is here! I follow her because she is the only hairstylist I trust. Crystal is by far the best hair stylist in Seattle. She has been doing my hair for 3+ years and always gives me what I want. I am very picky when it comes to hair and she never disappoints. She recently gave me a look other people could not achieve and have received never ending compliments on my hair color. So happy with my hair cut and color!!! read more

Super great spot with the best cut and color you can get in Seattle is right here with Bronsen and believe me all his clients always come back! read more

I wanted to get haircut from Stu the Barber who has pretty good reviews in Yelp, but when I reached the location, it said The Collage. A bit confused, I asked for walk-in appointment which was available after 15 mins. I'll not name the person who did my haircut, but he completely ruined it. I had showed a freaking photo of my previous haircut to avoid any confusion, but he cut my hair too short; I asked why, and he said he thought I was going to buy some of the products there to manage my short hair that's why. I was furious and left the shop without tipping him. Later I got to know that Stu works independently inside The Collage. Damn it. read more

I see Sun( Brenda) I have been for almost 8 yrs. i trust her so much with my hair that most of the time I just let her do what she thinks looks best. I can always count on her to help me look my best. It's hard finding a great stylist that continues to be consistent in every aspect, and I am so glad...lucky even to have my hair blessed by Sun! read more

See all

I see Crystal for haircuts and styles and she's nothing short of amazing. Reason #1 why I love her... SHE LISTENS!! I have super thin hair and have had so many other hairstylists heavily later my hair but it then just looks thin and layered. I told this to Crystal and she said trimming it regularly to remove all the heavy layers will make it look healthier and longer. After we did this I got compliments from my clients and friends about how healthy and long my hair had grown. She's friendly, always on time and makes really great haircut suggestions and product recommendations. I'm so happy I found someone that took my lemon hair and made lemonade! read more

We have a winner! Mikhael is awesome. I moved here a couple years ago and was so sad to leave my hair girl behind in SF. I tried a couple people in Seattle but Mikhael is by far the best. She has cut my hair three times and my fiancee's hair once. It's always looked great. Besides the fact that she is skilled, she's fun to talk to and just a really great person. Highly recommended! read more

I was in dire need of something new and different, and have gone through many hairstylist in the seattle area, yet, have not been able to achieve the look I've been wanting. Plus, I'm Asian and have dark hair so I just figured, it must be me. Until I was referred by a relative to see Sun, so I gave it a go. When I called they were able to schedule me in a timely manner and the staff was nothing but friendly and nice, already I felt relieved and good. At my appointment, I explained and showed Sun the look I wanted to achieve and her approach to get the look seemed effortless. I was comfortable, and of course, like everyone's first visit, I was a bit nervous...won't lie, but when we were done, she styled it and I was amazed on how good of a job she did. (By George did she deliver!!) I can't stress how glad and thankful I am to have met her, definitely would recommend Sun to anyone, especially those with dark hair, I believe in her, and I know she has worked with all types of hair. So what I'm saying is... Sun slays okay! read more

Dennis is probably the best barber I've ever had. Friendly and detail oriented, he knows how to give a good cut and also adapt to his clients tastes. I gave him a very vague idea of what I wanted and got a haircut so good that I got a compliment from a total stranger a few hours later. Will be coming back for more! read more

SUN is such a gem! She not only is such a talented colorist, but she can manage my extremely curly texture as well! I'm a natural dark haired curly girl who wants to be J.Lo blonde (duh!) Just like every other babe, and she has me blonde as a beach bunny and my curls are still so healthy and bouncy! Any color junkies like me need to come see Sun!! She's kind and sweet and makes me beautiful! Xoxo read more

I spent over a year looking for a stylist before I found Sun Mee Lee and I followed her from other salons to The Collage. I am incredibly picky with choosing a hairdresser but Sun was worth the search. I trust her wholly to decide my look for me because she never fails to improve my look. I'm naturally dark haired and she's dyed my hair blonde (and later a balayage) so well that it looked natural. She's given me complicated cuts, bright colors, side shaves. I can't recommend her highly enough. I'd follow her to a different a state to get my hair done. read more

Sun Mee is amazing! I am a hairdresser and always get nervous when trying to find anew stylist. I have been going to Sun for one year and couldn't be happier! She has cut my hair, given me a Keratin Smoothing Treatment, and most recently hair extensions (pictured here). I love my hair! I highly recommend her! read more

Saige is absolutely amazing! I have been following her for years. There is really no one else who compares. She is a true artist of her craft. Listening to what you want or creating something you never knew you wanted. She always delivers, thanks girl. read more

In town visiting from NJ and got a decent cut, but $35 for a men's cut is steep no matter how you put it.

My first experience at Collage on 1st was amazing! Location is extremely convenient and the service was phenomenal. Karly is my stylist and she is always professional and attentive to detail with my needs - I have followed her from Kent, to Sumner and now in Belltown. With each session, she has been a guru at maintaining my blonde and keeping my hair looking fresh and healthy in between visits. She is always so helpful with tips on how to keep my blonde lively and is so fun to spend time with during my appointments! I highly recommend Karly if you're looking to go blonde, maintain blonde/balayages, or wanting a fun transformation. read more
