Absolutely love this place! Very friendly staff, they make you feel comfortable and welcomed. I typically like to have my hair a certain way, and love how accommodating and attentive they are with me. I've had ptsd from previous salons, but this place has my loyalty for superb service. Give them a try, you won't regret it!! read more

Best price in the area! CASH ONLY. Local, minority owned, been around since the 90s and I stay loyal to them. The price is worth it! read more

Had such a great experience today. She did quick work and it turned out so cute. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Seattle.

Each of the hair dressers have at least 10 years experience. All are super friendly! I go there for hair cuts and coloring my entire head. Costs around $80 for both + tip. They do a solid job every time. Keep in mind that they only accept cash and that the parking lot is a little small but when I go on weekdays I don't have an issue. read more

Service is great. Have been coming here for years. Staff is always friendly, personable, and accommodating.

The color is spectacular!!!! Love the friendly vibe!! Thank you Chi Hue for the beautiful cut and color! read more

The only positive from this salon was their price. My hair length is a little over the shoulder, got a full hair trim, and spent only $20 not including tip. They're walk in only (red flag #1). I prefer booking in advance so I can plan my day accordingly. Then my hairdresser spoke to me in Vietnamese, and when I didn't understand she asked me why my mother didn't teach me Viet (red flag #2). Ma'am my mom didn't teach me Viet because she can't speak it herself haha. I can speak my mother tongue well enough if that's your concern. I showed her a picture and asked for curtain bangs. I liked the light effortless look to it and requested that. The bangs I ended up with was too thick and rigid in shape. I asked her to make it thinner. The owner then said something in Viet and my hairdresser scolded me, saying "I tried telling you this was thin enough but you asked for your bangs to be even thinner". I assumed she didn't want to take the blame so she had to show that I was the one who requested it to save face (red flag #3). Overall, I didn't like the cut, didn't like the service. Even bought a hair growth serum so I could go to another salon to quickly fix it. read more

The owner Hue is very good at highlights/coloring. I recommend her. Been going here for almost 10 years. read more

Uptight Hair Design - Loving it - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The place is located in a small shopping center but hardly any parking. You gotta drive around to the back and that's where I found a place to park. I was bit skeptical when I arrived but don't let that deter you. Once I walked in I was immediately greeted with a friendly smile, which helped me feel better! A friend referred me here. She said to ask for a lady named Hue. It was easy to make the appointment. I read the reviews online and figured it was worth the try! What I liked most about this place, that it's family oriented, they practice social distancing, everyone wears a mask , and very affordable! I wanted to chop off all my hair and get magenta highlights. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she nailed it!! From start to finish it was a great experience! read more

I've been coming here for more than 2 years now! Hue takes care of my hair and she has been awesome, recently went there to get my hair color done, my natural hair was very deep black ( as you can see on the photo) and with tremendous of work she was able to get my hair lift up to blonde very evenly. I was very happy of how it turned out! Thank you Hue!! read more

Every time I needed a haircut for an important life event (wedding, interview, photo shoot) I always come here since it's so close to my home. The lines here are never too long. If you are waiting it gives you time to think about how you're going to explain how you want your hair to but cut. Don't have a clue as I always do? The hair stylists can work with you on that and they can give a few recommendations to make sure you're looking good. They work with you every step of the way. The prices are insanely reasonable here compared to other hair cutting places. I am getting a stellar hair cut and still have money in the bank. FIVE STARS read more

I went to this salon hoping for a fresh look. It was not my first time getting a haircut there. Prior to covid, stylists took their time regardless of the service you requested. They are experienced and they can do a good job if they want to. However, something happened during covid. Now, if you are just going there for a haircut, don't expect too much out of the style you'll get. The quality of the service you received is proportional to the price of the service you requested. The less you are willing to spend, the less attention you haircut style will receive. Once you realize your disappointment, you may end up spending more money at another salon to fix whatever cheap service you received. It is not that they do not know how to style, it is a choice they made to prioritize your purse over your hair. Tôi đã đến thẩm mỹ viện này với hy vọng có một diện mạo tươi mới. Đây không phải là lần đầu tiên tôi cắt tóc ở đó. Trước covid, các nhà tạo mẫu đã dành thời gian của họ cho dù bạn yêu cầu dịch vụ gì. Họ có kinh nghiệm và họ có thể làm tốt công việc nếu họ muốn. Tuy nhiên, một cái gì đó đã xảy ra trong covid. Bây giờ, nếu bạn chỉ đến đó để cắt tóc, đừng mong đợi quá nhiều về phong cách bạn sẽ nhận được. Chất lượng dịch vụ mà bạn nhận được tỷ lệ thuận với giá của dịch vụ mà bạn yêu cầu. Bạn càng sẵn sàng chi tiêu ít thì kiểu tóc của bạn sẽ càng ít được chú ý. Khi bạn nhận ra mình đã bị lừa, bạn có thể sẽ phải chi nhiều tiền hơn cho một thẩm mỹ viện khác để sửa chữa dịch vụ giá rẻ mà bạn nhận được. Không phải họ không biết tạo kiểu mà là họ ưu tiên ví tiền hơn mái tóc của bạn. read more

I refuse to get my hair cut anywhere else other than uptight! Prior to meeting Lucy, all the barbers I had gave me the same typical undercut, but the people here really know what they're doing. Not only that, but the staff treat you like family, and remember you after a few visits! The price is incredibly affordable and can't emphasize enough just how kind the staff are here. I was introduced to this place by a few of my friends, and will continue to let the rest of my friends and family know about this gem as well! read more

I'm super in love with my hair!! :) Huy, the main lady that manages the salon always does an amazing job. She's been doing my hair for the last four years and never have I walked out of the salon disappointed! This time she did a low medium ash, add in layers and v shaped cut and color to my hair. It's took three hours bc she had to correct my hair color. I had burgundy which was hard to correct when going lighter but she made it happen like always! Also, the staff is always wonderful. Thank you Uptight hair design. read more

Lucy is by far the best hair stylist, she's been taking care of my husband and daughters hair for some time now. She's sweet and is very talented. She recently cut my daughters hair and we're so in love with it. She always does a great job and holds great conversation. Very nice lady. Thank you, Lucy! read more

The owner is really nice even brought some friends to try them and they were satisfied.

Love this place! Kelly does an amazing job! Make sure you get a hair wash and a face wash! Best combo! If Kelly isn't free! Any of the other ladies does a great job! read more

Called, only accepts walk ins, didn't wait too long, I was working while I was waiting. Very nice people and convenient, I just wanted a number 2 on the sides to the back that followed my fox tail and it was done perfectly, most people blend the top portion so much that the sides look rounded where it enhances your face, Will come back again when needed thank you again! read more

I'm giving this 4 stars only because the wait time. Other than that, I love uptight. They've been around for such a long time and I swear over the years, their services have improved so much. I started off by getting my brows waxed here by the owner (don't know her name but she's the lady with the perm in the first chair closest to the cash register). She also does my hair & boy does she know what she's doing!!! I showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair and although it wasn't exactly it but pretty close, she made it look even better than what I originally wanted! I refer everyone to this place. It's always packed so you gotta give yourself at least 45 min of squeeze time when you come here. The owner also hooked it up with some hair products to help maintain the color and health of my hair. read more

Hue is literally the best lady to go to for your hair color needs. I had black (kind of) virgin hair. I dyed it 8 years ago but basically it's been a while. And she made my hair a beautiful ash Smokey blonde. She did it in 5 hours! She was so patient and kind with me. Thanks to her it turned out beautifully. I was afraid of my hair turning out brassy and orange but she got the exact color I wanted. read more

Absolutely LOVE Hue she was amazing and friendly, and you can tell she 100% cares about her customers. I came in with BRASSY orange uneven and blotchy hair from a salon I went to the day before. It was horrible. And Hue worked her magic and was so nice, she seen how sad I was and heard how much money I spend and helped me make my hair beautiful again:) read more

Came here for a hair wash and haircut for myself and a haircut for my brother. Brother wasn't satisfied at all because I had asked the lady for a line up and fade for him and she literally just shaved his head and lined him up with no fade at all and I even showed her a couple of pics on google for reference and when I saw his hair I was like wtf??? As for me, my hair wash was so rough. It felt like she was literally about to rip my scalp off from scratching so hard. I don't know about other salons but I think most salons usually give you a little massage to make your head feel good but I felt like my head was about to come off lol. My haircut was alright; I noticed it was uneven when I got home and I didn't bother going back to fix it so I just cut it at home. The cut was really fast and our total was $26 but I wish I could have spent it elsewhere. read more

Uptight Hair Design - my brothers hair; i had asked for fade and lineup but only got the lineup wtf - Hair Salons Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went in dyed my hair for the first time, couldn't be happier great service and quick to get me scheduled.

Since I moved nearby, I've been in twice and got Lee for a haircut. Her speed is probably a bit above-average for the typical Asian stylist, in my experience, especially for the sides & blend/fade. If you get a shampoo, it's pretty awesome but remind her if her nails start becoming too much during the longer conditioner massage... zZzz.... She also is mindful of the hair effort. I.e., my 2nd trip, I left the top alone and she deducted $2 from the base price. Not many folks do that, I think. It's a fairly decent shop. It's been around but also is quite nice for what it is, actually. The shampoo station is closer up front than other places so a bit more noise. There's a few chairs, a TV on/off and parking in the small lot or the back street. Note: The early week it's pretty slow she said but come Friday-Saturday, they can literally be slammed (she said people would sit around the workstations o_O). read more

Amazing and clean space. Not very busy around noon. They had chairs distanced and offered hand sanitizer. On top of that, they checked for temperature before giving you any service. When waxing, they set up a new sheet for you and disposed of the materials well. In terms of my eyes brows, I always get them waxed here and always so professional, clean and amazing. Great arch on my eyebrows and quick! I will continue to come here and only $10! read more

My go-to hair salon. Just steps from where I live. My stylist does perfect work every time, if I should say so myself. Very satisfied..

I've been coming here for about a year now, and I've always been satisfied with my haircut--they know what they're doing. The staff treat you like family; I look forward to coming here every 2-3 weeks. If you can spare a couple dollars after the cut, I highly recommend the wash. You've got to try to for yourself! read more

I've always gone to this salon and there were some times when my haircut turned out nice.. years ago. The problem is, they only cut it the way they want or the way they know HOW to. The last 2 times that I went there, I wanted an A line cut and the both times, they cut it STRAIGHT across and all the way up to my chin when I wanted it just above the shoulder. The 2 times, I noticed they made an accident and the second lady said my hair was "too thick". I have very fine hair.. it's just the way the other lady cut it the first time. Didn't they go to school for this? I couldn't complain because they looked very irritated at me for reminding them how I wanted my hair. And for my sister, she wanted her hair shorter so the lady went so short that she looked bald inside and just a thin layer of hair on the outside covering the gigantic bald looking spot... just what the hell you guys... read more

Hair makeover for an affordable price. I really love my new hairstyle. I get a lot of compliments.

I will make this the only place to get my hair done from now on. Hue, the owner, is amazing and so kind. She really took the time to make sure my hair came out perfect. The prices are sooo good for the results. When I first came in for a consultation , she actually tested my hair first so she could give me the most accurate opinion on what she can do. In the end, I'm a completely satisfied customer and will become a regular ! read more

Came here for a balayage again a year after I get my first balayage in my life. I hair grew a lot so I wanted to touch up to the root with the same balayage. She did not ask me anything about my hair condition and barely looked into my hair carefully but I trusted her since she is the hair designer and I am not. That was a horrible mistake. After she bleached and shampoo my hair, I came back to my seat and saw some kind of jelly strings around my shoulder. I started to comb my hair with fingers and realized that was my hair and I started to freak out. Everytime I comb it, my hair was falling down literally like some jelly..... I exactly asked her I just want to bleach the part I havent done for a year but she put chemicals on the bottom part which they bleached last year the only time in my life. Her excuse was "sometimes it just can accidentally go all over". The worst thing was that another hair designer I have never met before and didnt even look at my hair since I got there came to me and started to argue with me. She said if I bleach my hair a few times(which is wrong, it was my second time at that hair salon and I never bleached my hair other than this place) it can happen. I do believe it is their responsibility to figure out those side effects after they do the service on customers hair. I think I need to cut over half of my hair to remove that melted hair out. Think carefully if you want to bleach/color your hair at this place. They will not check your hair condition and put the chemical cream for a long time until the hair is melted away and blame your hair about that. read more

I'm pretty loyal to Anne who does my eyebrow wax. I've been going to her for so long that I no longer need to tell her how I want it done. She just knows. Even though I moved to Cali, I still make it a point to visit here for a touch up when I'm in Seattle. read more

I've been going here for years. They are always busy! So come early if you can. Hue ( the owner ) is the only one I really let do my hair. No one is perfect. She does my hair the way I like it. If it doesn't come out exactly the way you want it she doesn't hesitate to fix it. Give them a try. My hair was previously colored by Hue. I had her touch up my roots and she also did a full color with full foil highlights. read more

Lucy is great!! I showed her a pic of what I wanted. She explained that because of my current red-brown hair that I may not have the same results as the blonde color pictured.
