Brown Hair

I was looking for a colorist who could help me come back from a year of coloring my hair at home. I called Brown Hair and was immediately called back the following day by one stylist who couldn’t get me in as soon as I wanted, so she put out a text to the other stylists with my timing request. Britnie called me back and booked me when I needed and did a fabulous job on my all-​over color. I immediately got compliments. And she did not make me feel bad for coloring my own hair for the previous year, she simply told me what she thought I needed and we went from there. Good salon, nice people, skilled colorist in Britnie. Thank you!

I have been seeing Britnie at Brown hair for the past few cuts and can’t imagine anyone else I would trust more. Britnie takes time to really listen to your vision and creates it better then you can imagine; better yet she offers her professional opinion (but doesn’t force) and checks in with you throughout the process. I had Britnie do my hair for my wedding and she suggested highlights to really make my curls stand out and I couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out-​pictures were awesome! I can’t wait to get them touched up soon!
I always feel like a new woman and am so excited to show off my new ‘do when I leave! Highly recommend Britnie!

I’ve been going to Candice at Brown Hair for a couple years now and love her. I’m really low maintenance with my hair so I usually go 6 – 8 months without a cut. Candice respects that decision and welcomes be back every time. When I do come back it’s great to see her. I have pretty thick, wavy hair, that can get a bit frizzy at times. Because of the texture I’ve had lots of stylists in the past tell me what I can’t do with my hair. Candice doesn’t do that! She gives me layers that make my hair feel light and bouncy when styled but also really easy to wash-​and-​go. Candice is the first hairstylist I’ve found that I actually want to come back to. I trust her with my hair completely! Thank you Candice!

I found Candace through a mutual friend of mine and couldn’t be happier! She is amazing at coloring. Took my drab hair and made it pop and compliment my skin tone to a whole new level. Easy and beautiful. Never going to anyone else!

I went there for the first time today and had an awesome experience. I had no wait time, the place was beautiful and clean, the staff was friendly, and I LOVE MY HAIR. Candice did my hair and did a beautiful job understanding what I was trying to say (both in terms of color and cut; I have brown/​blonde hair) and made my hair look exactly how I had pictured it would. I honestly have only had one other hair color and cut that I’ve «loved» in the past decade, so it was so relieving and awesome that Candice did such a stellar job! Thanks Candice :)

I ended up at Brown Hair when my stylist, Britnie, moved to this salon. What a great place! The salon is very well maintained, the owner, Mary, is friendly and kind, and Britnie always does an amazing job with my hair! They use Aveda products, which I also love.
Tip: street parking can be a bit rough, so be sure to budget in enough time to find parking before your appointment.

I’ve been going to Candice for 3 years and couldn’t be more pleased. I have coarse, wavy hair that’s difficult to cut and color, but I’ve never left the salon disappointed. Whether I want to be bright blonde for the summer or have more low-​lights for the winter, she always gets it right. And her cuts are perfection. Plus Candice is interesting and engaging and I always look forward to my visits!

Mary Lambert, the owner, has been doing my hair for about two years. Mary really listens to me. She understands what I am able to do, and understands that I want my hair to look as good at the end of the day, as it did when I styled my hair that morning.
I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for my appointment, and the price is very reasonable. BEST OF ALL the head massage is long and sooo relaxing. The smell of the Aveda products, the great music, and very nice décor make for a wonderful experience.
The only tiny bummer, which is no fault of Mary’s or the salon, due to a lot of construction in the area parking is limited. Mary has several reserved spots, so if you are on time for your appointment you can park in one of them. I’m sure the parking will be a non-​issue by early 2014.
Bottom-​line: you won’t be sorry. Your money will be well spent. You’ll leave with a great cut after a relaxing massage and shampoo. Mary ROCKS!

I just moved to Seattle and I was in need of finding a great hair salon. To Unilocal!I went to Brown Hair, and to Len, after reading Laura M.‘s review. She was right on with her experience with him. Brown Hair offers great quality products and in Len’s hands they work magic. My hair (down to my butt) was totally a patchwork of different blondes from cosplay events and really needed some expert help. I also wanted a purple chunk underneath, quite a lot to figure out in one visit. Len was up to the challenge and did a fantastic job, giving me the more natural blonde look by integrating my own colour back in where I had gone overboard while giving me something that is low maintenance as it grows out (I did not even know that was possible!). He also really took the time to get the exact purple I wanted, going back a couple time to make sure the look was right. Len’s prices are also incredibly reasonable for the level of attention to detail and time you get, and I never felt pressured to buy this or that, which was really nice. We did talk products, however, and I received some great tips. Len is great to talk to and I felt totally comfortable chatting with him during the hours it took to fix the mess I had created.
I was a little uneasy with booking within the independent contractor system, but I am so glad I took Laura M’s advice. Len is absolutely the best hair dresser I have ever been to and I am so happy I found him! Go see Len! You won’t regret it.

I’ve been going to Brynn Chadwick at Brown Hair for more than ten years, and if she ever moves away or retires I don’t know what I’ll do. I first went to her on the recommendation of a friend, for the very first real haircut of my life. I’d had very long hair ever since I was a kid, and had finally decided it was time for a big change, but I was scared. In a situation like that, it can be kind of a big deal getting your hair cut off. But I was THRILLED with the sassy short cut Brynn gave me! I’ve been going to her regularly ever since. She is always fun to talk to, always good company, and was tolerant and patient with me on the one or two occasions when I was *koff-​koff* a bit of a stress case. I hope I will be able to keep going to her for many more years.

I am really picky and particular about my hair and I had exceptionally difficult hair to color and did not have much luck with finding a hair dresser after moving here — having tried many hair dressers/​salons — Vain, Gene Juarez, local Wallingford and Fremont salons, salons in Canada, Gary Manuel, Beehive etc… which were just not right, either too expensive (over 350 for a cut and color), too pretentious, to too sloppy — the red hair color was patchy. I was told by some hair dressers that I was too picky and that they could not make the red stay in my hair and to find somebody else. Usually my red highlights washed out after one wash or dripped all over staining my clothes or I once even walked out of a salon with hair dye all over my neck — after paying 250 dollars for a cut and color.
I found that Aveda hair colors work well and Brown Hair in the area had Aveda products. So as it was close by, I called a lot of times since they do not have a receptionist as they are independent contractors at the salon — I was reluctant to leave a message and did not know who I should even book an appointment with. When I finally did — I was super glad because Len from Brown Hair called me back and set up a consultation.
Len was fantastic and took a lot of time trying to determine what I wanted — a red ombré which was pretty challenging for most to achieve in Asian hair. He booked aside a Saturday and really took the utmost care to put in foils and cover the occasional grey and cut and style and after several hours for an unbelievably low price — I ended up with with the best hair color, cut and style that I have ever had in the last 20 years. It was better than I could ever imagine.
During the hours that Len worked on me — he was a fantastic listener and was very nice and was just an incredible guy. He was comfortable to be around and I did not feel like I had to do weird small talk and truly enjoyed talking to him. I feel like I truly left the salon having made a new friend with the best hair stylist in the city.
He has been doing hair for over 25 years and despite meeting him for the first time, I had a good feeling about him and I trusted him and I am glad I did. Len at Brown Hair was fantastic and I am so glad that I found a fantastic stylist so close to home that is so reasonably priced and so highly skilled in such a clean unpretentious but trendy pleasant salon in my neighborhood and no worries about parking.
Len at Brown Hair: highly recommended — and worth checking out!!!

I love Mary, the owner of Brown Hair. I found her through a friend and I am so glad I did. My hair is thick and wavy and has a mind of its own. My cuts are the best I’ve ever had and like another reviewer said, I don’t need to do anything to it, just wash and let it go. I am constantly asked who does my hair. Mary has given me advice on hair health, color (I do my own, but I’ve seen great color walk out of there) and what will work best for what I want my hair to do. She listens and ‘gets’ it when you tell her what you’d like. And she’s fun to spend the time with.
Free bang trims and a little extra shaping too if needed, during them. She wants you to be happy and welcomes comments. The salon is lovely and bright with natural light. Cuts are reasonable priced. A little hidden so I’m happy to share its location in Fremont one block west of Stone Way. More Fremont than Wallingford.

I’m a low-​maintenance gal and Rhonda at Brown Hair has a gift for giving me cuts that need nothing more than a quick blow-​dry — if even that (YES, It’s rare to have such a great cut that you don’t even need to dry it some days!) I just love the work she does and the thoughtfulness with which she does it!
The salon is relaxing, clean, and easy to park at and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and REALLY good at what they do. I had better call Brown Hair now, before too many people call for appointments…

I’ve been seeing Brynn Chadwick for the last 10 years or so. I love my Brynn. If you have curly hair, she is the lady to see! She has curly hair herself so she knows how it can behave and she knows how to cut it so it hangs well. I’ve had a lot of REALLY bad haircuts so finding her was fantastic.
The salon is really cute and they use Aveda products. Luckily they don’t pressure you to buy any products but they are available if you want them. There’s a sunny place to sit if you’re waiting, and lots of magazines and books of pictures of haircuts to peruse.
Parking can sometimes take a few minutes, but if you plan to arrive a few minutes early, you shouldn’t have a problem.

Rhonda is the best colorist ever!

My stylist recently moved from Sirens Salon to Brown Hair. The waiting area is excellent, they are open convenient hours, and they are not too expensive (I just get a regular haircut, not sure about anything else). I definitely reccomend Brown Hair!
