This review is for Cherry. I've been going to her for lashes for over 2 years and she is consistently fantastic. Whether it's something more natural for every day or a "doll's eye" for a play I'm doing, her work is fabulous and the prices are great. The space is clean and serene. And her manner is lovely and friendly - we chat at the beginning and then she gets focused while I fall asleep. read more

About three weeks ago, I decided to change my hair fairly drastically. I'm a fan of the drastic haircut, so a feeling of shock wasn't completely unexpected. I ended up with a cut that looked like the awkward grow-out phase of a cute short haircut. The problem is, I never actually GOT that cute haircut--I was fast-forwarded to the awkward phase. After trying to make do for a few weeks, I finally decided to find someone new to work on the disheveled mop protruding from my noggin'. It was my first time at Intermezzo, and I'm very impressed. The salon itself is super cute. Hip without pretension. Everyone was super nice (I even had to show up a few minutes late due to car trouble). Shawn is fantastic! It was clear by all the other conversations in the salon that the staff there really take time to get to know their clients and seem to really understand their needs. I have never been a "stay at one salon" kind of gal (grew up in a "hair is cut on the porch, or wherever we have a coupon" type of family), but I may be convinced to change my ways after my experience at Intermezzo. read more

Just another vote for Holly. She does fabulous facials and as another reviewer put it, she is cute as a button. And real to boot! Intermezzo uses the Eminence line and everything smelled amazing. What I love about Holly is that she didn't push the line at the end of my facial. No handwritten menu of what was used or, even more obnoxious, placing full bottles of each cleaner, mask, etc on the counter at the cash wrap. Holly even helped me with my botched eyebrows. She is nothing short of a wonder. read more

Not only is the one of the cutest salons that I have been to, but the staff was awesome! It's obviously a local favorite because I was surrounded by returning customers. My hair needed some serious help and Lauryn was willing to work with me, talk to me about what I wanted and needed, and went above and beyond with my cut and color. She even recommended some great products to help out and wasn't judgmental or pushy if I opted out of one. I can safely and happily say that after a long search, I have found my new stylist and I am thrilled! Also, the front desk staff was cheerful, easy to work with, and very friendly. The salon is on a street with lots of available parking and the location is easy to access and find! After years of getting my hair done, Intermezzo is one of the best salons I have been to so far. read more

I've been going to Lauren for about a year and a half, and when she's too booked to get me in on short notice, I see her partner, Shawn. They are both great stylists. Lauren is better with cutting my thick Asian hair, and Shawn is a little better with colour, but they're both wonderful all around. The salon itself is great; the lighting is good, the music is tasteful, the decor is upbeat and cheery. Their product selection is nice, too: their house brand is Kevin Murphy (which I'm "meh" about) but they also carry Davines and Kenra, plus they will special order pretty much any product you want. My only criticism of this place is their hours. They are open all day on Saturdays, which is great, but because their weekday hours are 10-6, that makes Saturdays difficult to book, because everyone wants to come in on Saturday. If they had a couple weekdays where they'd take appointments until 8pm or so, or maybe open as early as 8am, weekday options would be much more viable for me (and others who work 9am-6pm M-F), and Saturdays might be a little less crazy. read more

I was on vacation in Seattle and looking for a place for a cut. I found this place on Yelp and agree it's great. I got my eyebrows done and a haircut. Everyone was very nice, and the place is very cute. The stylist I had (from Minnesota) was quick, friendly, and knew exactly what I wanted without much explanation. Loved it! read more

Fantastic Salon and Spa!! The atmosphere is chic but comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I couldn't be happier with my Lash Lift and Tint by Lisa. My lashes look amazing AND natural. Excellent experience from start to finish. read more

We found this salon and Shawn Michael via great recommendations on Yelp, and I need to reinforce. Shawn is great technically with the hair and also a great guy. I highly recommend him and his work. My wife has started going here for facials, massages and waxing, all of which she enjoys. If you are looking for a new salon on Queen Anne, this one is highly recommended. read more

I've been getting my hair cut and tinted at Intermezzo every month for over a year, and I always enjoy relaxing there. Lauryn makes my hair look beautiful! She's meticulous and professional, and simultaneously fun and entertaining. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful, even remembering what kind of tea I like. I'm so happy to have found this place! read more

Front desk staff went above and beyond to get me the appointment. I approached this salon, set inside a house, and did not expect the expansive open space inside. Clean and sophisticatedly decorated. My appointment was good start to finish. read more

It was my first time visiting Intermezzo, and I absolutely loved it! The ambiance is perfect- welcoming, relaxing, and charming. I got a full bayalage and cut with Alex and she did a wonderful job! Got the color just right, brightening me up for spring. Cherry cleaned up my eyebrows nicely and was fun to talk with. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Shawn is an amazing stylist, he really takes his time and his attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. The staff is always friendly and the salon itself is just a really nice space and well designed. Highly recommended! read more

So, I have been to this place enough (too much?) that I can absolutely vouch for their massage, esthetician and hair services. Intermezzo is located in Queen Anne in a cute older house. There are rooms upstairs for spa services and the hair salon is downstairs. One of the absolute best things is that they have a feature where you can book services online and this is a lifesaver for me. I saw Shawn Michael recently for my hair and I basically just wanted him to fix a cut that I had from another salon and really disliked. He did amazing! He spent so much time and paid a lot of attention to detail. Shawn has a really good eye and even gave me samples of the products he used. Cherry has done my eyebrows and she is not only great at doing eyebrows, but she is just really fun, easy-going and even gave me advice on my skin. Kimmie also gives a wonderful massage. Not just an, 'oh, let me rub your back and make you relax massage,' but a really good, helpful healing massage. Lastly, I love intermezzo because they are flexible. You can come in late or early, depending on who is doing your service and what works with your schedule and no-one is ever rushing to finish. The massage was a full hour of actual massage and I have had a haircut last over an hour when needed. Now, they just need to move a little further from my house so I stop going as often. read more

REALLY cute salon! You'll love it if you're looking for a salon in Seattle. Very comfy but even lovlier inside (I believe the owner decorated, WOW!!) & the prices are not too shabby especially for the quality and atmosphere. Shawn is AMAZING with color and his dry cuts will change your life!! Oh and the facials are so relaxing, Holly did mine and I'd always leave HAPPY! Wow I miss this place!! If it's between this place and another go HERE!!! read more

I followed MIchelle here from another salon, and I have to say, Intermezzo has completely won me over. The decor is clean and updated, and of the ladies are super accommodating. There's no loud hub-bub you might find in other salons - every time I have been in, it's been a quiet, serene experience. Michelle is a GREAT stylist. She's done my hair long, cut 10 inches off, gave me a sassy new do, done highlights, and everything else under the sun. Love her! read more

I LOVE Lauren Grinnell @ Intermezzo Salon! -see her portfolio @ http://www.lalascuts.com She has been cutting my hair now for about two years. I have had every style from short to long and have loved every one. I went through several stylists upon moving to Seattle, now I follow her wherever she goes. Lauren is creative, knowledgeable and great at what she does. Intermezzo is a great at well, gorgeous, comfortable and the staff is amazing. They provide all the services you need from skin care and massage to even lash extensions. see her portfolio @ http://www.lalascuts.com read more

I've been going to Intermezzo Salon for years. I started going simply because it was close to my house, but keep going for the talented staff, great services and comfortable atmosphere. Kayla does an amazing job with both cut and color. So much so that I started bringing my kids here, too. Not sure what you want? She'll talk you through options that work for you face shape, coloring and lifestyle (eg. "I don't spend time styling my hair in the morning and need a low maintenance style".) And Cherry is an artist with lash services. She'll make sure you're comfy during the process, and will have you leaving with great lashes that last longer than those done at other salons. They are open long hours and can usually help accommodate your busy schedule. I highly recommend them! read more

This is the best overall experience of any salon I've been to. Jeremy, the owner, is great with communication and has always been in the salon working when I've been there. He overheard me talking about wineries and sent me an emailed list of suggested wineries to take my family. I'll have to say it didn't disappoint! Alex has done my hair twice now and she is AMAZING. She listens to exactly what I want, and she has been so helpful on my hair journey. Unfortunately, I'm moving next week, but I wish I could take her with me. I would 100% recommend this salon to anyone looking for a new salon in Seattle. The pricing is great as well! read more

For years, I've had long uncontrollable wavy hair, and I've never been able to figure out what to do with it. A few months ago, Michelle helped me out with a cute, short layered style and a new product that defined my curl and wave - a new, manageable style! Yesterday morning, I went back to Intermezzo, and this time we went even shorter! Very rarely do I completely trust hairstylists to help me find the right look (and one that is low maintenance, low fuss), but Michelle is perfect! Every single time I've seen a friend or run into an acquaintance since yesterday's appointment, they've all oohed and ahhed over my new haircut. Intermezzo itself is a lovely salon, right on West Galer, close to Top Pot. It's a luxurious space without making you feel intimidated. I love it. I won't get my hair cut anywhere else while I'm living in Seattle! read more

I highly recommend Intermezzo to anyone looking for a great haircut! Lauren is a gem of a hair stylist! She has cut my hair for the past three years and I have loved the cut each and every time. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming, and very professional. I love the convenience of being able to schedule appointments online as well. Thank you Intermezzo! read more

Can't say enough amazing things about this salon! For my recent wedding, I worked with Alex for hair and Jamie for a facial and makeup. They, as well as the salon owners, exceeded every expectation. My hair and makeup were flawless and I felt very safe and healthy in the salon despite the current COVID pandemic. My mom also had her hair and makeup done and was incredibly impressed and plans to come back to see Alex for hair again in the future. Both my mom and I will be repeat customers :) Thank you for your help in making my wedding day special. read more

Anyone needing a fresh cut and color by an awesome stylist, see Kayla at Intermezzo in Queen Anne, i didn't know what i really wanted, but the consult she gave set me in the right direction for an amazing color and a new style. Love my Hair. Thank you Kayla!! read more

Intermezzo Salon and Spa - Deep rich brown, shoulder length cut and then added some Bangs! - Skin Care Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Not only is Marnie a great stylist but one of the most flexible with scheduling that I have worked with. What with the recent snowfall and unavoidable cancellations, she always makes sure her clients are well taken care of and will make special trips in if there is a special event or trip. And the salon is immaculate and very lovely. read more

I went to get my eyebrows waxed a few months ago... I have nice natural eyebrows... So I just need a little "clean up". I forget the girls name who did my waxing, but she seemed new to me. I told her that I wanted my natural shape, just really clean looking. When she was done, I looked in the mirror and the waxed areas were so pink, I couldn't really see if there were any little hairs left over, I thought that they seemed great and went home. The next morning, I woke up and started putting on my makeup... It looked as though I hadn't even had my brows waxed. All the little and big hairs that were bothering me along my brow edge were still there. Plus a few below the brow. SO overall; The spa felt beautiful, the girl was nice, I paid 25 dollars for an experience, not a good brow shaping. read more

I would search elsewhere if you are looking for a place to get your hair cut and styled. I had such a moral dilemma with myself about whether to call Jamie back and ask her to fix my hair or whether to just go ahead and write a 2-star review. Clearly, I choose the latter, and here's why: I'm a busy woman. When I pay over $60 for 40 minutes of anything, I expect it to be done correctly the first time. I don't have another 40 minutes to spend giving Jamie a second chance. I asked her to give me long layers; the result was a trim that involved no layers whatsoever. Not a single person has commented on my haircut because no one noticed I got one-- not even me! I should have suspected that she did a crappy job while sitting in her chair: while she was blow-drying my hair, I noticed she was significantly curling the ends (I have straight hair). Ut oh...wasn't sure if that was for presentation or to cover up a botched/lazy job. I feared for the worst...and unfortunately was correct. If I wanted a trim, I would have paid $12 at Great Clips or The Shop on top of QA (where I also had a bad experience last year, but at least it was cheap!). I did not get what I paid for at Intermezzo; learn from my mistake and go elsewhere, or maybe just work with a different stylist there. Sorry, Jamie, but in your industry, you're only as good as your last head of hair walking out the door! It's nothing personal (she seemed sweet); it's business. For $60, I want to look good and at least get one damn compliment! read more

When I went to Intermezzo because they specialized in curly hair. I have a hard time trusting new hair stylist with my hair because so many of them don't know what they are doing. I went in for color and blow out, the color job was great!!! I haven't colored my hair in years so that was a nice change. I rated the salon 2 stars because of my blow out. It is rare that I ever do it and when I get one done I want it to last for a few days. Other wise I would just do it at home, it was nice when I left the salon. With in a few hours it was frizzy and just looked unkept. If I would have known that was going to be the out come I would have just left it at a color. Over all the salon is nice and the staff are friendly. I just have a tendency to be a little harder on stylist since so many don't really know how to properly handle curly hair. read more

I showed up for my scheduled consult with Sean and they were like Sean is busy here's Lauren. I had a major color correction and I was desperete so I went for it. She definitely fixed my hair bigtime. I was pleased so I went back. The second time was not so good. I left with major roots. Like the foil was a full inch from my scalp. It didn't even look like I had my hair done and the cut was bare bones and took like 5 min. I think I paid $150. I won't be going back. read more

Just an update to my previous review. The owner, I believe her name is Mari, called me within a week of posting my review to apologize and offer me a refund and a free cut and condition. I thought this was definitely worth mentioning bc that means she really cares about her business. I received a full refund including the tip I left, but I politely declined the cut and condition since I felt more comfortable going back to my stylist all the way back in San Diego. 4 months have passed since my hair was damaged by Michelle and I'm still angry every time I wash or style my hair so I stand by my one star review for her. I have to use an expensive 3 step treatment every time I wash it just to make it manageable. If I could review the salon separately from Michelle I'd give it more bc I really appreciated what the owner did, it meant a lot and says a lot about the business. read more

Need lash extensions or thinking about it? Make an appointment with Cherry!! At your first appointment she will ask you what you want; and will happily make recommendations if you're not sure. (Bringing in ideas from Pinterest is helpful, too!) Cherry has been my Lash Technician for 5.5 years! She's highly skilled, knowledgeable, gentle, calm, and efficient with time. She is also compassionate, funny, energetic, generous, and has a spirit that *sparkles*! Her spa suite is very clean, comfortable, relaxing, well-designed, and has a window view. And like me, she's Filipino-American, so she **knows** what types/styles of lashes work and look great on Asian eyes!! Your eyes will be in excellent hands; and you will leave looking and feeling FABULOUS!!! read more

This is where my LMP, Maria Toro can be found. It is a gorgeous space, a little house on Galer Street that has been redone completely by the owner. The rooms are very beautiful and relaxing. If you are looking for a great massage, not just a relaxing massage, but one that can address injuries and pain, Maria is your person. She is amazing. Really knows what she is doing. I came to her with a pretty painful shoulder, and could hardly move it. After one 90 minute session I had more mobility. I have friends that rave about her, too. Great location, great body work. Five stars! read more

I chose this place to get a facial because I loved their website. I had never had a facial before. The place is decorated so nice and the staff was great. Holly did such a fabulous job, it was the most relaxing experience I've had. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

My boss gave me money to treat myself to a few spa services. I chose Intermezzo because of their bliss package, which allows you to group 3 of their spa and/or salon services and receive 25% off... and because of the great reviews. I chose a facial, haircut, and all over color. My facial was with Holly. She immediately made me feel comfortable and surprised me with a complementary salt and rosemary foot scrub and tea as I entered the facial room. The room where they do facials is not pictured on here, but it is gorgeous, with its small chandelier above the bed and candles. Also, I should note that every inch of this salon is very tasteful and well-decorated. The products that Holly used for the facial felt wonderful and she was very open to questions. She even sent me away with samples and put mineral-based SPF on my face for the day. It was hands down the best facial I have ever had. As if the mind-blowing facial was not enough, I am introduced to Shawn, who I am told specializes in dry cuts. He worked with me to choose a cut and color that suited me. Shawn is a great conversationalist and the kind of guy that you would want to hang out with, even if he wasn't cutting your hair. But lucky for me he was, and thanks to his dry cut skills, my hair has never looked better. He learned the dry cut technique in New York. I had two strangers compliment me on my hair while running errands after my appointment. I am now the biggest fan of dry cuts and an even bigger fan of Intermezzo. read more

I have been getting my haircut by Jessica Whaley since I first moved back to Seatte and I have followed her from Habitude, to Chroma, and now Intermezzo. She is an incredible hairstylist and really cares about her clients. I have always loved my haircuts and bang trims! read more

My neighbor recommended Intermezzo I went there and had my hair highlighted and cut by Leslie. I was very happy with the results, other than some lack of blending layers. I went back yesterday for a follow up cut and highlight. The results are disastrous never have I had such a bad hair cut. I provided a picture of a previous style I wanted and my hair was totally butchered. I previously had red and dark brown highlights. Not now, just a bright red with blond highlights which I am appalled with. I tried to style my hair this morning and it's impossible. I called back to ask for an appointment for Leslie to fix it. She refused and said she'd refund half my money. Feeling devastated. I'd like to give no stars but the app won't let me. read more

cutest little salon around! i live literally around the corner, so this place is perfect. girly and pretty on the inside, and cost is comparable to everywhere else in the city proper. you do need to plan ahead a bit, since they're on the small side and book up fast, but they stay on time with appointments and it's a nice, relaxing atmosphere. shawn is the best hair guy if you're looking for someone new! read more

I am not picky about my hair but walking out after Sean does it I find myself tossing it around like a Barbazon girl and giggling while shooting "who me??" looks left and right. I have gotten cuts, trims and a blow out from him. I always am made to feel comfortable, which is important because I'm not much of the spa scene girl. He has amazing attention to detail. Every person that I have talked to after going here for the first time is converted for life and LOVES Sean. Really love having this place on the hill. read more

I came to Intermezzo Salon after a terrible highlight job at another Queen Anne salon (I went to the other salon on a Wednesday and they did a bad job. I went back on Thursday to have them fix it and they made it worse.) By Friday, I was desperately trying to find a new salon to fix it before a weekend full of Holiday parties and Christmas the following week. The first salon I called scoffed at me when I asked about any last minute openings. After consulting with some friends and Yelp, I gave Salon Intermezzo a call and am so happy I did. To be honest, I'm not sure why I didn't go there in the first place. It's convenient to my QA apartment, parking is easy, and the salon itself is SO cute. Kayla was kind enough to fit me in at the end of her day. She was awesome and quickly laid out a plan as to how we would fix my highlights. The finished product was great and my next appointment is on the books! Looking forward to trying out their spa as well. read more

I've gotten my eyebrows done here by the lady upstairs and was happy with her work even though she seemed rushed. I'd (embarrassing!) forgotten my wallet and she was good with me delivering payment that afternoon. Friendly people at the front desk, clean and cute decor! read more

Jessica has been giving me fabulous haircuts and color for a few years now but I was so excited to see her at her new salon! The place is super cute but we all know it's the stylist that really matters. I always get an amazing cut, color (I've had all over color, highlights and Balayage) and blow out from her. She really listens to what you ask for and then delivers. I recommend that you go and see Jessica! You won't be disappointed! read more

I had my first visit with Intermezzo today but I followed my fabulous stylist, the lovely Jessica from another salon, and she once again gave me exactly what I asked for. I cannot recommend her enough. Her consultations are very thorough and thoughtful, she takes her time and you can tell she really cares about making you happy. We have fun conversations too. I always feel like a rock star whenever I leave her chair!! The salon itself is super cute and the entire staff was very professional without being stuffy. Looking forward to my next visit! Thank you Jessica! read more
