Tracy did such a great work on my hair cut!! I will always go to her place next times!!

I had an extremely disappointing haircut experience. My appointment was booked for 2:00. We began late at 2:10/15. At 2:30, someone came for a walk-in, and Tracy rushed my cut to wrap me up at 2:45 so she could accommodate them. I would not recommend this salon because I didn't feel valued as a client with someone else being squeezed into my appointment slot. I ended up with a choppy, lopsided haircut and conditioner residue after 30 minutes while still being charged the full price of $95 ($115 including tip). Although she offered to fix the cut, Tracy was unapologetic and unwilling to refund more than $10 so I will not be returning. read more

Tracy's Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Styling does not last long, lose shape very quickly. She uses a razor to cut the hair for speed, so it damages the hair end and lose the style less than 4 weeks; normally it takes 8 weeks for me needing another cut when I worked with other hair studio. She is friendly but does not know how to treat her customers with care, hair cuts are always rushed and she always seemed too overwhelmed. As posted by other customers, overall quality does not worth the price- now is $75 plus tip so a $85 to $90 cost for a 15' hair cut, that normally caused about $25-45 somewhere else in Seattle. she is booked 15' back to back and charged cash only (makes me wonder what tax loophole I am enabling by going there) read more

I still go to Tracy, but men's hair cuts are now $40 & still worth it for her service.

Tracy is great! This was my 2nd time there. She really knows Asian hair well. It's hard to get an appointment unless you call at the right time or on the weekend when her nephew is there to help. This last time she didn't dry my hair all the way nor did she style it, which I would've preferred. She only takes cash or Venmo. read more

Just wanted to provide an update. Since my last review, my mother, brother, friends, friend's boyfriends, friend's boyfriend's friends are now going to Tracy and every single one of them say they will not go anywhere else. Love her! read more

Tracy's salon is back open for business! I felt safe getting my hair cut. She wears a mask, the usual sofa waiting area is closed, the salon is very clean, and the number of staff is usually between 1-2 people. After months of overgrown covid-lockdown hair, I went in and had around 8 inches cut off. Now I have a cute long bob haircut and feel refreshed and ready for summer! I originally wanted my hair cut shorter, but Tracy advised me to keep it long. That's what I like about her -- she keeps it real and will always tell you if she thinks something will look better on you. I've been going to Tracy's salon for around a year now. Tracy is always very stylish and dressed well. She's sassy and fun to talk to. She's cut my hair multiple times (long layers, medium layers, short layered bob) and she also cut my sister's hair when she was visiting from out of town (straight and edgy medium-length hair). My sister also loved her haircut! Our hair always grows out nicely, too. It's nice to find someone who really knows how to work with Asian hair. Tracy also cuts men's hair (all ages). Tracy's work has always been excellent! It's very hard for me to find a hair dresser where I put on my glasses for the big reveal at the end and walk out surprised and pleased every time. I'm the type of person who only trusts my favorite hair stylist (I was with my last stylist for 10 years before I had to move out of state.) So glad I found Tracy! I'd recommend her to anyone! P.S. She usually requests that you pay in cash. (Long hair cuts are usually around $50-60 and short/men's haircuts are a lot less.) So make sure to bring enough cash with you! read more

I visited Seattle in November 2020. My experience at Tracy's Hair Studio was more than I could ask for. Tracy understands hair and people - she offers her clients an individual experience. Trust is an important part of feeling and presenting your best self. I felt that Tracy was professional and safe with covid standards. I left feeling rejuvenated by the experience, the conversation, and with a fitting + stylish haircut. Go to Tracy's expecting a good haircut and leave with an experience worth creating a yelp profile to share with others. read more

She sets her appointments 15 minutes apart so you pay 55$ for a rushed haircut. My hair is completely uneven going to have to go so where to get it fixed. Avoid this place. read more

I had never paid more than $15 for a haircut before coming to Tracy's; she had great reviews and didn't look super expensive so I figured I'd give it a shot. My experience was sub-par. This may have been partially self-inflicted (hence 2 stars); I showed up 5 minutes past my appointment time, and hairdressers work on a tight schedule. She had started working on someone else, and I happily waited until she put them under a hair dryer and did my hair. I just asked her for a pretty darn short cut, and told her I liked fades but that she could make the call. She cut my hair extremely quickly and used only scissors, which was cool except I think it would've turned out better with just a razor buzz. The layering was awkward, and most importantly, it has not grown out well--the differences in lengths in different parts of my hair are still very noticeable and don't blend well (see picture). A simple fade with an electric razor that a buddy back home will do for $5 grows out much more smoothly. The haircut cost $30 and I tipped $5, making it twice as expensive as anything else I've ever had; she only spent 15 minutes on it, it didn't turn out well, and the cut has aged poorly. I'm going to have my sister redo it when I see her in a week. read more

Tracy's Hair Studio - How my hair naturally falls: the layering doesn't work well, and the different lengths don't blend. - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been going to Tracy for years! I won't let others cut my hair anymore. I used to go to Gene Juarez, capellis, scotch and pine and to be honest Tracy does just as good as some of these top of the line spots, with a modest price or $35. She does eye brows, waxing and tattoos as well and I'm a guy who does the waxing it's definitely noticeable. Tracy is. Usually really busy, so make sure to call in advance to get an appointment time. Walk ins are practically impossible. 10/10 this is my spot friendly, professional and reasonable- Tracy gets it done- BTW this place is cash only, so make sure to stop by the ATM before coming in. read more

Never get a perm here. Tracy has no idea what to do. Used to get haircuts regularly here. Every time Tracy would try to cajole me into getting a perm "to have more volume cuz Asian hair is flat, blah blah blah." I eventually got one, and boy, it fucked my hair up. Some parts of my hair were still straight after, other parts were weirdly curled. My hair looked like a total mess. I've had perms before at other places and quite liked how they turned out. However, the one I got here was a complete disaster. To be fair, I liked the regular haircuts here. But I don't think she should be providing a perm service for an expensive price when she doesn't have the skill to do it well. I talked to Tracy about my disappointment in the result, and instead of an apology all I got was a stream of defiant excuses. One star, never coming back again. read more

Up until going to see tracy a few days ago, I haven't had my hair done/cut for about a year. I've always been hesitant when going to get my hair done, I find a lot of the time it doesn't come out how i'm expecting or hoping. When I went in to get my hair done by Tracy I had no plans or photos of what I wanted done to my hair, all I told her was that I wanted layers and a couple inches off. Tracy started by looking at my hair and assessing the texture of it and what cut would flatter it best. She determined my hair was wavy so lots of layers would help get the most out of it. Tracy was really quick and efficient with the cut, not to mention her very entertaining personality throughout it all. Tracy is extremely down to earth, sweet, and all around such a great person. She got me in and out in under an hour and I left there feeling and looking great. She's definitely my new go to for hair cuts. Thank you again Tracy!!! read more

See all

Was looking for salons for several days, daughter needed an "emergency" haircut, shall we say, and everywhere was booked. Walked into Tracy's on a lark, and even though she didn't have time, she fit us in. I don't think she ever does this, but we were very lucky. I can't overstate my praise for Tracy's studio. It was the best experience I've had at a salon, or in customer service. read more

Tracy definitely knows what she's doing and this is a cheaper location in Seattle/super close to UW that will give a pretty good wash and cut. She can usually fit you in at a pretty good time even if you call only a day before as well. The cut was 30 bucks for guys without tip, which is still kind of pricey for my liking, but cheaper than somewhere like Hair Salon K by a few bucks. The price is also reasonable for its location. After going to Tracy 3-4 times, I've personally never been too happy with my cut, though. I would rather go through the hassle of booking for Hair Salon K and paying a few extra bucks for a nicer studio and ambience (music). Note that this is CASH ONLY. She used to do Venmo but not anymore. read more

Tracy is a wonderful lady who is very skilled in her field. I'm not very adventurous with my hair style but I came in wanting something new, and, with just a mere description, she gave me the perfect haircut for the style that I was interested in. It's growing in well and I will be returning in a couple of weeks. The hospitality of the staff is also amazing. I would highly recommended Tracy to any local residents. The space itself is small, but they've maximized it to make it feel large and open. The price is a bit more expensive than what you would pay for a cut at a generic place, but for her quality, the price is reasonable. Be sure to come with cash, because they only accept cash. She is also very busy and gets booked quickly so if you're looking for walk-ins or a last minute reservation, it's probably not the place to go. Definitely don't show up late either, because she expects punctuality (which is reasonable) and your time slot may be taken. read more

Honestly, Tracy is the best! She knew right off that I had a hair cut from a different person and told me the truth. I needed to be bold and she did just that. She cut off the dead ends and took my layers to a new level! My hair is light and able to tame without styling with heat. read more

I can't believe I've lived 2 blocks from Tracy's Hair Salon for over 20 years and have never gone to her! I was always caught up in the previous places I went to (and never truly satisfied). Today, I had heard/read so much about how good she is, that I took the plunge. She looked my hair over, and told me what she thought would be a great cut (and why)... so I said: "Go for it". She did, and I'm pleased as punch! Glad I found her (albeit a little late!). read more

wig hunty she snatched my scalp good! I used to be pube headed until miss Tracy worked her magic on me

I hate getting my hair cut. I just want it to be simple, easy and fast, but for whatever reason most places can't do that or I wind up not liking the way I look. It took me 3 or 4 places in Seattle before I found Tracy's, and now this is the only place I go. It's always fast, always easy, I always look nice when I'm done and it's $15. This place is odd because it seems to be one of the few places that legitimately caters to both men and women's hair cuts. My wife has had her eyebrows done here a few times and her bangs trimmed here once and has always been satisfied. Tracy is great, she'll get to know you and she's just good people all around. This place is an absolute gem and I'd recommend it to anyone. read more

I went to Tracy's Hair Studio on 10/16/21 for a perm and haircut. I've never gotten a haircut let alone a perm in Seattle, so I was pretty nervous about it. But Tracy was extremely welcoming and very nice. She tried her best to comfort you, and make you feel as relaxed as possible. One thing I really liked was she would talk and ask questions about how I like my hair until she completely understood how I wanted it. She really cares and wanted to make sure it's exactly how you want it. I 100% recommended Tracy for your hair needs, if I come back to Seattle I will definitely stop back here again. read more

I got a wash, cut, and dry with Tracy and she did an amazing job! She keeps her place super clean and safe. She will listen to you and carefully look at the pictures you show her and recreate it perfectly. I got about 3 inches cut off and she did such a good job transforming my hair from quarantine hair to a cute long, textured, bob. She is so kind and calming. We won't regret seeing her! read more

Tracy does a great job with hair. I always recommend my friends to get their hair done with her, especially if you are indecisive. She has a great sense of style and can recommend you really good cuts. She has no problem with telling you if she thinks something is a bad idea though, heh. I appreciate the honesty and insight. I have long, voluminous Asian hair, so its hard to find someone that really understands how to cut and style it - but Tracy is really great. read more

I wish there was an option to give zero stars. Ladies, don't come here if you're looking for a modern hair style. They only know how to cut layers. I paid $50 for my haircut. You're better off paying a little extra at another salon that knows the current trends. I had my hair cut by another worker, Tracy's sister, about 1 month ago. It was the worse haircut I have ever gotten. I asked for a choppy long bob and even showed pictures. The end result looked nothing like it. Instead, I just have short hair with lots and lots of layers. She kept insisting she knew what looked best for my face shape. I ended up with a hairstyle from the 80s. It is also crooked, one side is longer than the other side. Now I am waiting for my hair to grow long enough so I can get it fixed. Don't come here for a modern hair style, you'll end up with Asian hair styles from the 80s with lots of layers. read more

I was very looking forward to trying this place as the comments i read here were all nice and positive. However my experience was disappointing. The owner seemed like a very nice person, but from a business perspective, her service was very unprofessional. The whole process starting from hair washing to hair cutting and drying was rushed because she wanted to get to the next customer as soon as possible. My hair cut didn't turn out as I expected, instead of trying to fix and accommodate me, she insisted that her way was the best way. $55 for a hair cut here is only a little cheaper than other hair salons I went to in downtown, I'd rather pay a few bucks more for a more pleasant and professional service experience. Also, she should have made it clear on her website that they only take cash or Venmo. read more

I have been going to Tracy since they opened up after the lockdown. I have been getting haircuts. She is a fantastic hairdresser. I feel comfortable as there is only one person in the salon, and everything is spotless. They have been wearing masks. read more

I've been coming here since I was 7 years old and don't trust anyone else to cut my hair. Tracy knows how to cut many styles and I always leave satisfied. She also has amazing prices. I go to school at WWU in Bellingham and drive the 90 miles just to get my hair cut here instead of finding a new Hair Studio. So believe me it's worth it. read more

Tracy did me the honor about a month ago. Walked in about midday on the weekend and she was all booked but said she'd gladly stay a little longer if I came back later. She was holding the line by her self so I really appreciated that I was nervous going in because I had really long hair and wanted a shorter cut for the first time in 3 years. She was sweet, supportive, and so easy to talk to. I was originally going for a shoulder length cut and she joked around that I shouldn't cut it at all but when I said I wanted a change she ended up convincing me of going all the way I couldn't be happier. I say if you don't have a good idea of what you want or if you are the kind to trust big decisions unto others look no further Tracy's is the place to be! read more

I've been going to Tracy's for a while now, but I think it's time for me to find a new place. My hair has never looked better but boy is it expensive. I stuck around when she increased her rate to $25 for a men's haircut but she's charging $30 now. No sign on the door or by the register. I felt a little cheated. Tracy's a nice woman and a great hair stylist, but alas, I cannot afford coming back every month. Maybe if I get a pay raise. read more

I read the positive reviews and was excited. Tracy had to leave, so the guy that was there cut my hair. It looks TERRIBLE and I have a job interview tomorrow. I seriously question whether this guy has a valid license. DO NOT let him touch your hair! I CAN'T BELIEVE I PAID MONEY TO LOOK THIS BAD. I had to go home and try to fix it with my girlfriend. Haircuts are supposed to make you feel good and confident. I wish I could wear a hat to my job interview. The haircut was $20, not $15, and he didn't even wash my hair or style it. What a disappointment! read more

I've had haircuts here by both Tracy and the other guy, and it came out fine both times. It's much more consistent than other places. If they feel that your hair needs a wash first, they'll do it for free! Bonus for socially awkward people: they won't pester you with questions if you don't feel like talking. read more

If you live in the U-District, go to UW, or need a professional stylist who actually cares about you, this is the place. $15 for men haircuts...best price on the ave. Women haircuts are $40 and they are phenomenal. She is currently remodeling the place, and so far it is looking great. While you wait, there is a 52" LCD with DISH Network connected. You can watch all the HBO, Starz, ESPN, etc. while you wait. When I graduated from school I moved to the East Coast. I still fly out for Husky games and visit old friends, and still get my haircut from her every time I come here. There is no stylist that is this good for the price. I have been to worse stylists who charge me $50+ for a men's haircut! Bottom Line: If you need a haircut that is extremely stylish, come here and never go back. read more

I have thick hair that that can be difficult to cut and style so up until now, I've been paying $30 - $40 to ensure I get a good haircut. I had a feeling that I should be able to find someone who could do a decent job for less money so I went on Yelp and found Tracy's Hair Studio. She asked me where I had it cut previously, what I liked and didn't like about it, and how long it's been since my last cut. Then she said, "Ok, got it." Let me tell you, Tracy is the Benihana chef of the hair world. As she started cutting and her hands became a blur, I thought to myself, either this girl really knows what she's doing or this is going to be one bad day. Thirty minutes later, I can say it was as good or better than haircuts costing twice as much. $20 + tip = 1 happy customer. She takes drop-ins but beware, I think she said she's been in business there 17 years and it appears that she's developed quite a good reputation with repeat customers so you may have a long wait if you don't make an appointment first. It's in an area of the U-District that usually has adequate street parking within a block of the studio if you're driving. read more

So impressed and happy with my hair cut from Tracy. She is so sweet, and knows exactly what she is doing. She gave me a stylish angled bob and curled my hair to perfection after. I will definitely be back! Cash only! read more

I've been coming to Tracy's hair studio for over a year, and she has done a consistently amazing job with haircuts, coloring, and eyebrow waxing. She is so fun to talk to, and always has a smiley, upbeat attitude. I highly recommend an appointment because this woman is super busy because she's super good. Free parking is awesome. Cash only. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality she delivers. It's around $40 for a women's haircut ( not sure if it's based on length, but I have very long, layered hair) and $20 for men. read more

I will never not see Tracy, so long as I live in Seattle. She is professional, she is fun, she is caring, she will tell you when your hair ideas will not make you look as beautiful as you think they will. She is hardworking and never not smiling. I've never before been loyal to a hair stylist until Tracy. I adore her skill / knowledge, advice and her personality. You will be smiling during and after your haircut, I guarantee it. read more

Tracy is my favorite person to go to for haircuts. I have never been disappointed and always look forward to going. She does great work and is passionate about her work On top of that, she cares for her people and remembers the smallest details about you. She makes everyone feel welcomed. Appointments are best but you can try to walk in and she will try her best to fit you in. Don't be late for your appointment and bring cash. read more

I looked up Tracy's on Yelp and, because of all the positive comments, (and it's relative closeness) decided to go here. I called first around 1:30 and was told to come in around 3:30 because she was by herself until then, and was really busy. I went in at 3:30 and waited about 15 mins to get seated, which isn't bad considering that's about the usual for a small salon. The haircut itself wasn't an ordeal but it wasn't incredibly fast either - which is actually good as if it's too fast I feel unsure of the quality of the haircut. Tracy has a wonderful personality and is really interested in making your experience a good one, and the gentleman who cut my hair was polite and friendly. I recommend Tracy's as a place to go if you aren't in a huge hurry, and want a good connection. read more

I love this place! I got an amazing and versatile fauxhawk cut and style by Tracy. Blue hair dye was done at home for fun. read more

When in on a whim.... Came out with a good cut. The price is reasonable, $20. They prefer cash but do take credit cards. Used to be Rudy client but the lack of customer service drove me away, then I went to Rooselevelt barbers, but the guy I got just sucked so tried out Tracy's with good results. I received a cut from "the guy" and not Tracy but thought my hair came out just fine. Uber accommodating since I just walked right in without an appointment. I'd go in again and would recommend others to try it out. read more
