Have always had a great experience here! Really helpful and professional stylists and such great haircuts from Laura!

This update is for Laura, only. She does not need to be coloring people's hair. My normal gal at a different salon was booked 3 months out, and my hair needed attention badly. I can't even go back to my girl, now, because I'm so embarrassed. What I booked: 3 hour balayage. I like mine toned to a Carmel color and to look natural. What I got: a poorly done, brassy FOLIAGE and a wolf cut. She then proceeded to try and teach me how to curl my hair, while it was still damp. I did reach out to the salon to speak with the owner. She never returned my call, but gave my number to Laura to text me. Nope. You will not touch my hair again. To Felicia, the owner, you should be reaching out and fixing this mess. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was hands down the worst salon experience I've ever had, and I want to warn others before they waste their time and money here. I've been to Slate Salon and Spa before with my usual stylist and always had a great experience. But this time, I had to book with someone else since my regular stylist wasn't available. What should have been a straightforward bleach, color, and cut turned into a 5-hour nightmare. Here's what happened: After 2 hours, the stylist hadn't even finished bleaching half of one side of my head. Normally, my regular stylist finishes with the full bleach, color, and cut in that time. The bleach dried out before I was even put under the heater, and they were completely disorganized about when and how the second side should be done. At one point, I was left lying at the sink for 40 minutes with chemicals burning my scalp. I verbally said "ow" multiple times, but the stylist wasn't gentle and ignored my discomfort. By the time she finally returned, my scalp felt like it was on fire. Because of the mistakes, my hair didn't even get the proper second bleach. The toner was rushed, and instead of the white blonde color I specifically asked for, I walked out with a patchy, uneven yellow-grey mess. The haircut was just as bad, barely any effort, not the length I asked for, and she didn't even show me a mirror. I had to ask her three separate times to go shorter, but each time she ignored me, cut almost nothing, and then walked away to the cash register. After 5 miserable hours, I left with a burning scalp, a botched color, and a terrible haircut. To make matters worse, when I called the next day to share how bad the experience was, the owner blamed me, saying I made the stylist "nervous." That is beyond unprofessional and insulting. I barely said a word the entire time, except to say when I was in pain. Instead of taking responsibility, they deflected and refused to acknowledge how unacceptable the service was. This was not only the most unprofessional salon visit I've ever had, but it was also physically painful and emotionally exhausting. The fact that the owner defended this level of service instead of apologizing tells me everything I need to know about this business. Save yourself the money, time, and frustration. Unless you're booking with a specific stylist you already know and trust, do not go here. I will never be coming back. read more

I got a haircut from Laura and really liked it! I showed her the picture of what I wanted, which is what I usually show stylists but is never quite right, and she was able to do it really well. I have never been that into my hair - but I'm actually excited about my hair now! I booked another appointment with her for some highlights. read more

Noella is fabulous. I cannot believe how great I feel. I had no idea how much her massage would helped me. She is very knowledgeable and worked on my injuries. She has a great touch, she really puts her heart and soul into her work. I highly recommend her. Everyone should try her massage services. read more

Beautiful, relaxed environment in the salon. Everyone is super friendly and they do an excellent job on cuts and colors (and I'm sure everything else). I've been taking my mom here for years and she loves salon. read more

I first went to Slate for a manicure, and Lori made my nails look beautiful! She has a very gentle touch and is kind and personable. After my first appointment, I booked another and also made a hair appointment as I needed a new stylist. I spent nearly 6 hours in the chair, but it was worth it! I have dark brown, long, thick, previously colored hair (pro and box color) with old, brassy highlights at the ends. Cecilia, assisted by Kayla, worked her magic, and I walked out with the color I have been wanting for 20+ years. She applied highlights, babylights, balayage, teasy lights...all sorts of techniques to get my hair where I wanted it to be. She fixed my chopped-off hair (I was frustrated at my dry ends, so I took a pair of kitchen scissors and hacked away). I went in just knowing I wanted a lighter color and a haircut, and Cecilia formulated a plan and made sure I was happy every step of the way. She had no issue taking the time needed to make sure my hair looked amazing and I loved it. Despite the lightening process, which can often lead to dryness, my hair is soft and has beautiful, natural movement. I'm so grateful to have a top-notch salon minutes from my house and I'm so happy to have Cecilia as a stylist. read more

Julie did a fantastic job on my hair cut! I had been looking for a stylist who can work with my unusual hair texture. I am middle eastern, so my hair is thick and wavy/curly. Most stylists are unfamiliar with my hair texture and struggle working with it. Straight her does not look good on me. Julie cut and styled it just right so it's not frizzy and not straight. My natural curls look lovely with this new haircut. Julie gave me styling recommendations. She is very nice and pleasant and not pushy. I will definitely go back to her. I am so glad I found a new stylist nearby. read more

Was a first time customer there to get a haircut from Laura. Appointment was at 9. Receptionist showed up at 9:02 to open salon. After 20 more min Laura still did not show up and when I finally left, the receptionist was getting her hair washed from another stylist. Not professional. Do not recommend this place. read more

I had my hair cut by Laura a week ago. I just now returned from another hair appointment to try to figure out what remedy there might be to fix this disaster. Hair on top of my head is two inches long and on the sides about seven inches long. The two local hair stylists said the remedy is time. The top will grow out, the sides can be cut a little and eventually (months) there will be enough to style a decent haircut. It's a disaster for me as I do ballroom dancing and I am going to look like a disaster until this grows long enough to style it in a decent way. Where the hell did she get a license? read more

Slate has a great location near downtown Edmonds and maintains clean and modern atmosphere. My high rating, however, is specifically for Kathy. I've never had a stylist give me exactly what I wanted time after time! From haircuts to balayage, she does it all. Kathy really puts the effort into listening to her client's needs, in addition to being pleasant to chat with. I will sit in her chair for as long as I can afford to! :) read more

Cecilia is amazing!! I originally came to her July 2022 after I had been to two previous stylists, and have stuck with her since. The first did a great job with my original balayage. It was beautifully blended, but also not even close to what I had asked for (my whole head was bright blonde and I wanted to stay brunette). My second stylist was closer to home but I was never satisfied with my hair after. I had seen these previous stylists multiple times, but they do not even come close to how great Cecilia is. She is nothing but kind, and always understands exactly what I want! read more

I had a lash tint and lift with Lori and it was amazing! She has such a soft touch and creates a very calm and spa like environment. My eyes are sensitive and usually get very twitchy when I have anything done but it wasn't even an issue. She was so careful and the result was beautiful! My lashes are very light naturally so having them darkened and lifted is a dramatic improvement. I wake up every day looking so awake and ready! read more

I can't recommend this salon highly enough. I cut my hair myself at home and did an AWFUL job. Like, I was sobbing and didn't think I could ever look okay again. I got an appointment with Julie, and in no time at all she gave me the best haircut I've ever gotten! And she was so kind and respectful and sweet. Ask for Julie! She'll do a great job. Reasonable prices and it grew out really well. Would give 6 stars if I could! read more

I've been going to the same salon for over 15 years but when I moved here I had to find a salon and stylist that I felt comfortable with...Sarah at Slate is the one! She took me from blonde to brown and from shoulder length to a bob and I. AM. IN. LOVE. She did a great job, you can tell she's been doing this and knows exactly what she's doing and absolutely killed it! Ask for Sarah yall! You will be so happy when you leave her chair! read more

I love this salon, it's beautiful inside and everyone is always so nice. I get my hair done with Lisa M. I was so happy to find her because I had been searching Seattle for a good hair stylist. I have a pixie and I had a hard time finding someone who understood what I wanted. Lisa is great at giving me the cut I want. Our most recent appointments have been transitioning me into a blonde for my first time!! We did it gradually and now I am right where I want to be :) My hair still feels great because Lisa uses great product to make sure my hair didn't get too damaged during the lightening process. I really love my hairdo! Thank you Lisa! read more

My purse was stolen while getting my hair done and Cecelia, the owner literally didn't care. I will never return.

Disclaimer:This review has nothing to do with any of the employees who work there, every experience I've had with the staff has been absolutely lovely and amazing. This review is specifically about whom ever is actually running the business as a whole and not any individual person. Basically whoever owns the salon and makes the final call on decisions, is precisely who this review is directed towards. That being said.... I always give people the benefit of the doubt and I hate writing negative reviews, but I feel like this could help someone make a decision that would potentially benefit them in the future. I wish I could give the owner of the salon zero stars, unfortunately that is not an option.A year ago for my birthday, My boyfriend at the time bought a very generous gift card for some services at this particular salon, where I have been a client for years and spent thousands of dollars for services. I have never had a problem except for some issues with the people at the front desk who seem to come and go a lot, basically scheduling issues. The last time I was there, the front desk person had either left early or something to that effect I couldn't use my gift card which was no problem, I paid with my debit, and was told I could use it the next time. That is totally understandable, however my gift card went MIA, and I have not been able to locate it. A few weeks went by and my next scheduled service came up and I couldn't find my gift card so I felt pretty bad, and just wanted to touch base and make sure that wasn't a problem because obviously, legally, sales are on some sort of record and the gift card and never been used. There was never a physical receipt issued to me as it was a gift and as a longtime client, I felt that this would of course not be an issue. Apparently the owner thought it was an issue, and told me I should have treated the gift card like cash and if it is lost and so is all of the money on it. $220 was the value of the gift card it wasn't a sale, it wasn't on special. My boyfriend spent his hard-earned money, To get me something special for my birthday. At this point I am completely baffled because the owner, who obviously has no care for a long time customer such as myself is literally making it so that I will never return to the salon. It's quite unfortunate because I enjoyed the services on the employees. I urge anyone reading this to rethink purchasing a gift card from this establishment because if something were to happen like your purse or wallet getting stolen or a misplaced card, could result in you completely losing the value of the card. To make things worse, the woman never even contacted me herself, but made an employee contact me to let me know of the news. I think that this is probably one of the worst instances of customer service and cowardice by an owner I have ever experienced in my life, and I've been in the customer service industry for 18 years.I will tell every single human being I know about my experience and make sure that my voice is not lost like my money was. To the owner of Slate salon, essentially you are a garbage human with Extremely bad business ethics and practices. Well you may not care about the loss of one customer, it will have an effect on your business down the line. Karma is a bitch. read more

I live out of state and was going to visit family in the area and while there I was needing to get a haircut. A friend of my sister's recommended that I see Cecilia, the owner, and mentioned that she would be a great person to see about getting a haircut for my extremely thin/fine hair. Before coming to town, I sent a message to the salon via their website asking if I could maybe email Cecilia directly about the haircut I was thinking of getting, to see if she thought it would even work with my hair type. Within hours, Cecilia emailed me personally and I was able to discuss the cut with her. Shortly after that, my appointment was booked. I just got my hair cut this weekend, and I have never in my life been more thrilled - both with the cut and the experience. Not only did she review some photos and a video I had sent her with examples of the cut I was looking for, but she even suggested some minor changes to the cut that would help it work better with my hair pattern. She was extremely friendly, patient and professional and made me feel completely at ease despite going from long (long) hair to an extremely short pixie cut. I highly, highly recommend Cecilia and will definitely be back for a trim next time I'm in town...and I'm tempted to make regular trips to see her despite living in Alaska. She's that good. Thank you, Cecilia and Slate Salon! read more

Slate Salon and Spa - Pixie/faux hawk. Best haircut of my life thanks to Cecilia @ Slate Salon! - Hair Salons Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

First time getting waxed and it was the most comfortable appointment. Thank you so much molly!!

Cecilia and her team her are amazing. Not only is the talent incredible but everyone is incredibly kind and always has a great attitude. I have consistently had the best experiences and since I started going over 2 years ago. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend!!! read more

Do I know how good of a job they do here? No. All I know is that I waiting almost 40 min for my appointment. At 10 after my appointment I had the receptionist tell me she was just finishing up and would be right out. Nothing else was said. Appointments are there for a reason and if the scheduled time wasn't going to work, I would have been able to come later. Instead I wasted my lunch break driving there and back with no haircut. I will not be coming here ever again. Very disappointed. Other than that, it seemed like a nice salon. Pretty open floor plan. read more

I am visiting from San Francisco and really wanna get my hair done. I went to this place without knowing anything/anyone but I'm so glad I did.

She is the best!!! She is experienced and know what costumers want. She did a balayage on me and it looks AMAZING!!! Seriously, ask for Kathy!! read more

I can not recommend Leticia enough! Leticia has been doing my lashes for over a year now and I am completely hooked to not only having my lashes done, but only by her. If you are thinking of starting or need a new professional she's the one! read more

Abigail did a fantastic job on coloring my hair. I would highly recommend her. Not to mention she is a very sweet person.

Just went in for a facial with Danny. She was so great! My skin looks and feels amazing and she was able to give me a few pointers to help with my dry skin. I'll definitely be back again! read more

I have been going to Slate Salon off and on for a couple of years now and I just wanted to express my appreciation for the great job they do. The staff is always so gracious and I love their product selection. I especially want to thank my Stylist Kathy Griglio!!! Kathy is a true artist. My hair has some cowlicks and I'm not good at styling it myself, so I really love the way my hair just kind of falls into place without my having to do much even after I've been wearing my hardhat at work all day. The way Kathy cut and colored my hair even made me look and feel much younger! Plus she's really fun to talk to. read more

I walked in armed with a Pinterest board and high hopes for awesomeness. Kathy delivered. I love my 'do and felt really comfortable handing my hair over to her. Chop chop hooray!! read more

Slate Salon and Spa - Chop chop hooray! Thanks, Kathy! - Hair Salons Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Tired of bad haircuts? Tired of stylists who don't listen to you? Go to Audrey at Slate. She is amazing, and worth the $$. She gave me the most fantastic haircut and style. And when I got home, I was able to repeat what she did with my style; no heavy products or flat iron required. I have been to more than one stylist, who knew they messed up my touchy hair, and flat-ironed it to cover up the horrible cut they gave me. I have also been to stylists who do not know how to properly layer naturally wavy hair. If you are like me, worry no more! Go to Audrey at Slate. She will listen to you, she will work with you, and you will leave feeling beautiful. And you will continue to have beautiful hair once you are on your own to style it. read more

Sabine and Molly are the stars. Great manicure and facial. I will be back.

Great, clean atmosphere. Amazing customer service, products & stylists! Jaime has done my hair for 6 years - I would follow her to Timbuktu. Highly recommend. Easy street parking, too. read more

Kathy Grigilo has moved to Slate Salon in Edmonds. She is such an amazing cut + colorist. I have been going to her since she moved from Seven Salon. She is fun and funny. Slate is a great place- really easy to park and great open air feel. read more

I chose this salon because it has online booking and I'm an introvert, I guess. It's a gorgeous space and my hair artist, Tai, has her own little room that's large enough but private so nobody can hear our girl talk. :) She listened and cut and styled my hair exactly how I wanted. Sadly, I'm not likely to return because the price is double what I used to pay in San Diego. Still looking for a talented yet affordable PNW stylist... read more

I have been going to Jamie at Slate Salon and Spa for almost a year and I LOVE HER. She does such a great job of coloring and cutting my hair. I have very fine hair and she knows exactly how to cut it so it looks thicker and fuller than it is. And I love the color. It looks very natural and colors all of my gray! She is the best and so nice too. The salon is very nice and comfortable. Go see Jamie, you will be very happy with the results read more

Lisa M. is the best of the best. If only there were more stars to give. I followed Lisa from her previous salon in Seattle, to Slate salon in Edmonds. Lisa takes the time to truly understand what I'm wanting, gives her expert opinion, and always delivers exactly what I'm wanting. The salon is beautiful, bright, with an open floor plan, and all of the staff are extremely cordial and friendly. I won't go anywhere else, and neither should you! read more

This place is a godsend to any woman who needs to get away! The open floor plan and modern feel is very inviting! Positive people and wonderful artists! Molly Stoulil is a miracle worker with facials, brow waxing and tints! Sabine give the best Mani's and pedi's and they last longer than any I've ever had done and believe me I put my nails through heck! Christina does a fabulous job on my hair but with over 20 stylist to choose from you have so many options and they're all great! Highly recommend this place love going there have been going there for about a year! Will not go back to that big box spa at the mall! Downtown Edmonds is so much more relaxing and less congested! Amazing experience everytime! Two sparkly beautifully polished thumbs up! read more

I had a great experience with Audrey at Slate Salon. I wanted to make a radical departure from my shoulder-length layered cut to a pixie cut, and the receptionist recommended Audrey for this type of cut. Audrey did a great job of taking the photo I brought in and translating it to suit my hair and face-shape, giving me a superb razor cut (if you've ever had a bad razor cut, you know how valuable a good one is!). She also gave my friend a pixie, and tailored the cut to her face-shape and hair-type, which are completely different from mine, and we both came out looking good! I would definitely recommend Audrey and Slate. read more

LEAH! LEAH! LEAH! Leah is the most amazing hair stylist I have ever had! After 20 years of sub par hair experiences I have become super picky. I have had so many blunders with my hair it's embarrassing. With Leah it is different she spends time with me to figure out what I want. She knows MY hair and that it needs a certain touch because every cut shows. She is sensitive and intuitive and is a hair healer. When I see the transformation she has made I feel absolutely fabulous and she has the personality and spirit to match! No matter what I want done she always accommodates and always applies her specific artistic touch. If you have been waiting for someone you can trust with your hair Leah B. is your lady she knows what she is doing. Oh and her scalp massage is to die for, if you only go for that it is worth it and then some! read more

Kathy Griglio gave me the best color and haircut. I could not have left there more happy with the entire experience. She is great at explaining the process as you go, and recommending the best products to help you look your best. I would definitely recommend people to give her, and the salon a try. read more

Best facial in years! Molly and Nisha are terrific-- thank you so much!
