I can't say enough good things about Sensa Salon in downtown Seattle! Danielle gave me the cutest pixie cut I've ever -- seriously, perfection. I have wavy hair, which can be tricky, but she absolutely nailed the shape and movement. It's exactly my vibe. Danielle is also incredible with color. She really understands what will work best for your hair and lifestyle. You can tell she's both highly skilled and genuinely passionate about what she does. The salon itself has a great aesthetic and the whole experience felt professional, comfortable, and fun. If you're thinking about going short, changing up your color, or just want a stylist you can fully trust -- book with Danielle. She's amazing! read more

Sensa Salon - Hair Extensions Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been here twice now. Over a year ago a woman cut my hair that no longer works here. I like that they have you ring a bell and then they buzz you in for safety. Beverages are offered and they use great products. However my second visit was just a few days ago with Sarah. What I asked for I got the complete opposite. She gave me a blow out so my hair looked beautiful leaving but the next day washing it seeing my natural waves and curls and really inspecting the cut. I look a bit chopped. The front was not face framing instead she gave me 4 steps. The front is uneven and choppy as heck. My hair is gone so no way to fix that and wouldn't trust her to fix it tbh so I have to take an expensive loss. I cried all night yesterday just looking at the front pieces. Just embarrassing. I paid a lot and tipped very well just for it to look like an amateur cut my hair. Don't come here. I regret coming here as I looked better with my dead ends. I could've cut my own hair better which I have. This was supposed to be a pick me up to make me feel beautiful now 2 days later I am in regret not feeling like how I should and wanted. Sooooo expensive and terrible results. Also they could've been friendlier. I felt she got tired blow drying my hair. They are supposed to be knowledgeable in long, thick hair, curly hair, wavy hair. I wanted to choose this stylist due to her good reviews but I really cannot recommend her or this salon. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I am distraught. Don't come here as you will cry tears of sadness not joy. read more

I came in at 9:00 AM for a blowout with Anthony and specifically requested smooth, flat roots with no volume. I also paid for extended time because I disclosed when booking that I have very thick hair. Anthony was pleasant, but at the end my roots were still puffy. When I asked about it, he told me, "I wish I had more time to flat iron your roots, but I have another client coming up." Instead, a large amount of wax/product was applied to try to flatten my hair. When I brought this up to the receptionist, she told me blowouts don't include hot tools. She also checked Anthony's schedule after I mentioned his comment about another client, and there didn't appear to be anyone immediately after me. For being over $100, I expected the service to be tailored to the look I requested, especially after paying for extra time. Unfortunately, I left disappointed and am now back at my hotel trying to fix my hair myself. What a waste. read more

Sensa Salon just has this earthy, bright vibe the second you walk in; it instantly feels calming. Alicia sits down with you for a real consultation, and it's so relaxing to feel like someone is truly listening to what you want. She is so kind and the entire team was just flawless. Spending time with her and at the salon was so comfy- felt like the best day. I walked out with the most gorgeous, effortless hair -- layered, sun-kissed, and just beautiful. Honestly, one of the best salon experience I've ever had. If you're looking for beautiful Balayage and a haircut that's both beautiful and easy to style; this is your place. Oh, and I also love that they offer a cute drink menu with Italian sodas. So many salons just offer champagne and I liked having a delicious mocktail. read more

Sensa Salon - Hair Extensions Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I know people make mistakes so this isn't meant to shame anyone! But I came in for a layered long haircut and left with something that looks very different to me. I did point it out while in the chair and he said "yeah I'm trying to figure out how I can fix that" and "we do have a 2 week grace period". So a little choked up I paid my $140, tipped $20 out of courtesy, and left. Took a closer look at home and I was a little heartbroken. I've been growing my natural hair out for almost 2 years and it's going to stink having to grow these bangs out again. I called and spoke to the front desk (super nice and receptive) and told them about it and they said there are no refunds but free fixes. So she asked if I wanted to see Landon and I kindly declined. My thought process was if he didn't quite know how to fix it before, I would probably be best off with someone else. So she put me on a brief hold and then came back and said she could do a certain date/time with Landon. Felt like I wasn't fully being heard, so I just called it quits and am going somewhere else. I'm new to Seattle, and was nervous about who to go to for this haircut. I was hoping by going to a highly rated salon I'd be in good hands, but the experience was all around not my favorite. read more

First time visiting Sensa and staff are very welcoming and offered some beverage. Ghia was very polite and professional. She knows how to bring my vision into a real life. She has lot of recommendations which I love.. I can't wait to see her next month for my next appt. Thank you Ghia! Definitely recommend her 1000X and this place. read more

I've been visiting Sensa Salon for quite some time and have exclusively worked with Ivan to achieve healthy hair. After receiving many bad curly cuts in the past, I was very apprehensive about trying yet another salon or stylist, but Ivan has completely transformed my curls. Not only is he incredibly skilled, but he's also fun and easy to chat with, and he always takes my opinions and preferences into consideration. I haven't had a single negative experience at Sensa or with my stylist, and I truly look forward to my appointments. I would absolutely recommend this salon, especially Ivan, if you're looking to revive your curls. read more

I had my hair cut as well as a bleach and tone by Miranda. First off, the Salon is beautiful and just has a relaxing vibe. They have drinks! The front desk is cheerful and always helpful. One lady at the front desk, Ava? I think? Total pro. Miranda always does an amazing job. My hair very short and few people cut it short enough. Miranda always cuts it perfectly. The real one though is the color. I need a very cool blond or else it looks yellow and Miranda has perfected it. I literally have gotten stopped in the airport bathroom with people telling me my color was SO GOOD. Seriously 10/10. read more

I got a repair curly cut today from Ashely, and I can't recommend her or the service enough! Ashely is incredibly kind and easy to be around, and she truly listened to each of my specific requests with my hair (like not taking off too much bulk here, layers there, etc.) and personalized my haircut with my preferences, style inspos, and hair type/current state of hair health in mind. I also appreciate that she held off on cutting too much off on layers at first, then let me decide if I wanted to take more off later. She is a stylist that I truly trust. Also, I asked her SO many questions about curly hair, products, my hair type etc. and she was very helpful and had great recommendations. As far as this service, it is so worth it and feels luxurious. Especially if you are new to curly hair, don't know how to style it, or have never had a curly cut before (this was my first one). You start with cutting your hair (dry of course), then washing, treatment, wet styling, diffusing, and then additional cutting as needed once it's dry and styled and you can see how everything lays. It was so relaxing to sit under the bowl diffuser (they give you free beverages too), and she walks you through exactly how she's wet styling your hair as you go. She did a great job and I highly recommend! read more

Nicole is fantastic! First gal I have ever visited as a curly specialist and it has been a game changer. Each visit (have had 3-4 appts now) she knows what my goals are and helps me work towards getting my hair healthier, longer and fuller. It shows she knows what she is doing! I am very grateful for the care and the help with educating me on how to care for my curls now that I am finally embracing them in my 30s :) The Salon is beautiful and the vibe is great. Parking isn't bad if you can find it on a side street or the garage by the Seattle art museum is super easy and a short walk. read more

As first time customer here, I had an incredible experience! I was offered a beverage by the front desk staff right when I checked in and got myself some hot tea since it was a morning appointment! I booked a blowout appointment for my birthday event the next day and also + extra time due to the length and thickness of my hair but Winta was able to finish it without the extra timing. She was so fun to chat with and I think she killed it (the picture attached is after 24 hrs)! I love my hair so much, it was exactly what I wanted. Will definitely come back again! read more

Sensa Salon - Blowout w/ stylist, Winta! - Hair Extensions Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had been considering returning to blonde for almost six months before deciding to schedule somewhere, which is how I found Sensa. Winta was an absolute dream-she listened to my desires and what I wanted to avoid and she meticulously transformed my hair. The diligence she applied was incredible to watch, her skills are top tier. When we finished the blow dry my hair looked so naturally changed that I was almost hesitant, she applied a very natural toner and advised it would lift effortlessly. I appreciate that I left without color shock and that it has settled exactly as she said it would. I will definitely go back. I love that Sensa builds a model for sustainable color maintenance instead of trying to upsell, 10/10 would recommend! If you're looking for flattering hair changes, with tone matching and long wear vision-this is your place. read more

Sarah Depriest was my hairstylist. She was quite friendly, listened to my request and gave me a great haircut. Loved the ambience. Definitely going back. read more

During my visit to Seattle I booked an appointment here and highly recommend this spot! They have an easy online booking service, and the option to have a silent session (no chatting and just relaxing if you prefer) which made me want to book here. After I made my appointment I called to see if I could move my appointment time up and they were super flexible and moved my time earlier. I got a gift bag for my first time visit with shampoo and condition samples and a free hair clip My stylist Amy was wonderful and did a great job on my wavy textured hair. I also got a frizz treatment in addition to my cut. Beautiful salon and easy to get to with public transit. Thanks so much for a great experience! read more

I did Brazilian blow out. I came like way early to my appt but I had nice time sitting in the sun while drinking coffee and watching the stylists working and running around. The stylist who did my hair was young lady super nice and did a good job with my hair. I will be back for sure :-) read more

I am new here and I booked online with Winta and she did an AMAZING job. I have fussy frizzy hair but she did a great cut and style...100+% satisfied. This is my new go to salon. read more

Miranda my hairdresser was very nice, knowledgeable and informative. I'll definitely be back here to see her again! The receptionist was a little rude. Overall, I'd still recommend this salon because of the friendly/talented hairdressers and relaxing environment. read more

Julia!!!!!! Amazing!!! I don't live in Seattle actually nowhere close but this salon fit me in and also was welcoming to my ever need. I actually hate salons or anything girlie for that matter and Julia made me feel right at home! She is an awesome listener and also was able to work her magic on my thin bleached out Florida hair. Give this girl a raise just how sweet she is... especially ones that physically can never be back in her chair! Bravo! Cut highlight and personality Julia! read more

Sensa salon has great customer service but unfortunately they just missed the mark on the actual service itself. I paid almost $900 and still didn't get the result I wanted. My first appointment was in June with Anthony, he had a great personality but maybe the job was just too big for him. My hair resulted in blonde instead of light brown and the blending was very spotty. He did work on my hair for almost 6 hours and noticed he was tired toward the end so i appreciated the effort. I tried to reach out to him about the color being lighter than discussed but didn't get word back. Finally I reached out to the salon and they got back to me very quickly and offer a complimentary color correction appointment. I was so thrilled and appreciative that they wanted to make things right. I went in for my second appointment and got a new stylist, again the stylist had a great personality and I explained to her the issues and the importance of how this would be my engagement hair. After the appointment I felt better with my hair being darker but the color was still flat and lacked dimension. I was just happy I wasn't blonde anymore! Comparing it to the inspo photos, it didn't quite hit the mark. At this point I don't think I will color my hair again with them and my hair does have A LOT of damage now but I did appreciate the efforts and attentiveness. They even gifted me a goodie bag and hand written sorry letter. The customer service was great but the service itself could use improvement! I posted here the inspo photos I showed them, my hair before the appointments and the results I got after each appointment. read more

Ivan is amazing! He is so personable, easy to talk to, and always provides just what I want consistently each time. Would definitely recommend!! read more

I've never been to worst salon. One of the stylists, Ivan, was extremely rude and did not listen to my multiple requests to not cut my hair. Was unkind and while he cut my hair OK, I will not be returning. read more

Julia is amazing! She took over when Jayde left (who I also loved) and has been killing it ever since! Her cut and color is impeccable and she is really good at understanding what the client wants. read more

My first ever curly hair cut! I had a great experience. Nicole, a curly hair specialist totally taught me how to embrace my natural curl, explained the products and process clearly to me. She listened to what I was aiming for, and took into account that I'm trying to grow my hair back out again. I LOVE what she did. I'll be back again ^__^ Oh, also, the salon was super kind! They had a wonderful front desk team. I even got a little goodie bag for it being my first time! Super thoughtful customer experience. read more

Love this salon! Been going here for a few years now and I usually see Dana for hair cuts and color (adding lowlights, lived in brunette). She's amazing! My hair is a very weird texture (sometimes straight and sometimes wavy) and she always makes it look so good and helps me feel extra confident as I leave the salon. Can't wait to go back to see her again soon! Then I recently saw Ivan for an up-do for my wedding and it was incredible! So happy with how it turned out. Will definitely be rebooking here when I need another up-do in the future. read more

Alexys is the hair stylist version of Midas, everything she touches turns to gold. Her approach was not only collaborative, but functional. Every step of the way, Alexys ensured that my haircut fit into my life, and not one that I would have to change my routine around. I have searched high and low for a hair salon in the Seattle Metropolitan area, and I feel so happy to have stumbled upon not only Sensa, but to have my hair in Alexys's hands! As someone with psoriasis, I have always felt a sense of shame when in the salon chair. Alexys is the first stylist that made me feel safe, and offered several solutions to my lifelong battle with my hair texture. I will return until the grave. At my funeral, I pray that Alexys will be styling me! read more

Erin and the entire staff were fantastic! Erin exceeded my expectations with my hair and as a kind and warm human being who cares. The space is terrific and so is the vibe. I highly recommend Sensa and Erin for your hair needs- highly skilled and knowledgeable. read more

I've been coming to sensa for years and every time I just love it more Alicia + Sophia listened to all of my millions requests and cut & styled my hair exactly how I asked. I didn't want my curls super defined or scrunched - I like more of a "day 3" style with lots of layers. I left the salon LOVINGGGGG my hair. My sister got her hair done by Alexsys who blew it out perfectly for her graduation pics. You can't go wrong with literally seeing anyone here!! read more

Erin did a great job with my hair! Super knowledgeable and informative to chat with. Also enjoyed my hair treatment.

I went to Sensa salon for the first time a couple weeks ago and Jenna gave me the best haircut I've had in a very long time. I have received so many compliments, not only on the haircut but the beautiful color and highlights as well. I definitely recommend seeing Jenna at Sensa Salon.....you'll be glad you did! read more

I've been seeing Kelly for the past 2 1/2 years and have left happy every time. She is a mentor to other stylists and is masterfully skilled. Kelly listens, suggests, and plans long-term with her clients. The salon is lovely and the staff are friendly and accommodating. I drive an hour each way to see Kelly, and it's worth it! read more

I recently got a haircut, and Julia was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was lovely and relaxing. I highly recommend Sensa salon

Today was my first time coming to Sensa and having Winta cut my hair! She has such a gentle touch and did a great job checking in with me throughout the cut to make sure I was happy with her work and was super receptive to any feedback I had. The facility is clean and chic and I was surprised with a goodie bag at the end of my visit. read more

BLONDES AND LONG HAIRED GIRLIES, PLEASE SEE ALEX! This is my first yelp, but I HAVE to commend Alex Serna and Sensa salon for their service and effort. I've never done anything to my hair aside from small trims at home for 24 years. It reaches my tailbone in length, theres a ton of it (especially at the back of my head), and it is naturally curly/wavy so it is quite a mane to work with. Salons intimidated me for a while because I feel like stylists dread a girl who wants to keep her length. It's a lot of work and I totally understand that. To start, the front desk made me feel so so comfortable. They were cheerful, happy to explain, and definitely helped me with the consultation process. They have such a nice little family vibe there and I had multiple people (stylists and receptionists) compliment my hair when I arrived! When I met with Alex he proposed two options at the consultation. I could do a hand painted technique which would get me a more natural, sun kissed result (his recommendation because I had never gotten my hair done before) OR a full head of foils to get that WOW factor blonde. He didn't bat an eye when I said I wanted to go for it and get my whole head BARBIE BLONDE without losing ANY LENGTH. He stood for 7+ hours (until near 10pm) and didn't sacrifice technique or quality despite the amount of hair he was working with. I felt so heard and understood and he gave me the exact color from my inspo photos in ONE SESSION. I think what I appreciated most was how eager and excited he was to give me the results I wanted instead of dreading or scrutinizing me for how much work my head of hair would be. Putting virgin, long hair in the hands of a stranger is so scary, but I'm really glad I had such a positive first experience! I can't thank the girls up front and Alex enough for making my first salon visit such a comfortable and satisfying one! read more

went here for a few years & really enjoyed it! I went from brunette (natural) to golden blonde balayage, then they touched it up several times. I eventually had them dye it back to my natural color. Service was always kind and professional. They trimmed my long straight hair & gave me some wispy bangs. They also have complimentary drinks while you are in the salon which was a fun touch. read more

Hallie installed keratin tip extensions for me recently. I am blown away by the results!! She nailed the perfect red color. The extensions were installed flawlessly; they are so light I can't even feel them. Hallie is also extremely kind and professional. 10/10 sensa always does a perfect job with my hair. read more

I've been with my stylist, Ivan Alanis, for a little over a year because he's a hair magician. He's personable, a great human and knows how to dye/cut my hair so it remains healthy (I have hip length, wavy and course hair) and looks really shiny. Another big plus of Sensa Salon is their new first ave location. The new space is larger, very clean and more comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to sensa salon several times and always have an amazing experience. Most recently I got a color correction and highlights from Sarah Depriest.

Julianne is so amazing!!! I can't express how perfect my hair turned out! I went in after almost a year of grow out and not having any idea of what I really wanted to do with it. Julianne talked me through so many options during the consultation and told me what she thought would look best and how we could change it up with the seasons. Her knowledge on hair gave me 100% trust that she would make my hair beautiful. AND SHE DID JUST THAT! I was so happy with the results I wanted to cry! lol! Not only did she make my hair gorgeous, she is so friendly and easy to get along with and made the entire experience great. I will never see another hairdresser in Seattle and highly recommend seeing her!! read more
