Oohla’s In Fremont Salon and Gallery

Kelly is simply amazing! She cut 9 inches off my loooong hair and gave me a fabulous cut. She’s fun and upbeat to talk to as well. I would highly recommend Kelly and Oohla’s!

I just got a hair cut and deep condition but it was amazing. The ladies that work here are full of energy and so warm and welcoming. I am always nervous going into salons because usually the people aren’t too friendly and the atmosphere is awkward. I won’t be going anywhere else but here from here on out.

Evary visit has been amazing. Great skills and perfectly personable. Never get pressured to buy product and never get an inexperienced stylist. It is a little pricey for a mens cut but it is always painless.

I still like Oohla’s, the front desk staff is always nice. They also have a great offering of products but I won’t be back. I’ve been seeing Abbé for cuts/​color/​treatment for 3 years now and still think she’s the best. She has recently ventured out on her own. I’m sad that she’s no longer in Fremont but am definitely moving with her to The Fox Guild (
) near U Village.

I had my hair done by Kelly. I went in with a horrible hair cut I reviewed at Emmersons in capital hill and super bleached hair.
She was able to fix my hair cut and I got an all over color. I left with a beautiful auburn color. I LOVE IT. I have also received so many compliments! We worked together to build the type of auburn I wanted. Not to red and not to brown, but more brown than red! I’m a difficult client. But she nailed it! Color queen!
Everyone in the salon is very friendly and the prices are very reasonable!

I was lucky to walk in for a haircut here and snag Michelle’s last slot of the night. She did a great job trimming my bangs (always tricky and best left to the pros) and sprucing up some ends that had been around for far too long. It was just what I was looking for – not a major hair overhaul, but a nice polish and style with fantastic service.

I hesitate to write because I don’t want her to get so busy I can’t get an appointment, however, I just must express how good she is! Kelly is just SOOO good! She is a perfectionist, as is evidenced by her work! LOVE what she does and she is so fun to spend time with. She is relaxing and easy to talk to! You walk out with great hair and feeling happy after spending time with Kelly!!! Can’t recommend enough!

I went to Oohla’s in Fremont for a haircut on October 3, 2015 with Rebecca. She was awesome! I had actually recently switched from Habitude in Ballard because I didn’t find them to be very professional and I was so happy that I moved over. Rebecca was knowledgeable and listened to what I wanted and also had suggestions of what would look good. I have very long, thick hair that can be challenging but she had great suggestions of how to make it look great and more manageable as well. Not only did she do an excellent job, she also gave me really helpful styling tips while styling my hair which I really appreciated. And she recommended products in a helpful, non-​pushy way. I was really happy with my service and it was very reasonable at $ 50 (I was paying $ 70 a haircut at Habitude). Not only was I happy with the service I received, the environment is really nice and relaxing. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming which I appreciated. I called on Friday morning and was able to get an appointment for Saturday. Additionally, they do accept walk-​ins. I would highly recommend Oohla’s!

I’m a guy and have had a hard time finding a place to go regularly. That was until I found Oohla’s. From my personal experience, Oohla’s is the best place to get your hair cut in Seattle.
Jenny, a stylist there, is the best stylist I’ve met to date and I’ve been to everything from the cheapest barbers, to the most expensive stylists chair as I’ve never been quite happy with long term results. Jenny is talented, not pretentious, and knows how to make the hair fit the person. I work in SF and travel back and forth from Seattle and actually try to plan my trips around when she’ll be working.
Thanks for being awesome you guys!

I have been going to Abbé for the past five years for cuts, colors, and brow waxes, and I am SO happy with the work she does. I am a bit neurotic about my hair, and Abbé always takes the time to talk to me about what I envision and she always executes it perfectly! I don’t get my hair colored too often, but when I do I like to change up my color. I’ve been blonde, brunette, and a redhead, and not only does Abbé know how to do all of those colors well, she also helps me figure out how to switch up my colors when I’m looking for a change. I absolutely LOVE Abbé and recommend her to everyone!

You can get your kid’s hair cut here! I’ve been driving to U Village just to get haircuts for my kids until I found out recently that Oohla’s offers this service. The stylists were very nice to my 4 year old and 3 year old and did a great job on their hair! The price is pretty high for a kid’s haircut but less than the specialty places anywhere nearby. We will be back!

I am so thankful to have found Jensen and Oohla’s! I’ve lived in Seattle for 5 years and have been to every high end, corporate hair salon in Seattle. I have very thick, long hair and it takes a skilled stylist to not leave my hair choppy looking after a haircut. When I stumbled upon Jensen, I was fed up with not being happy with my previous stylist and her lack of attention to detail, leaving the salon feeling like I could have cut my hair better myself. I am more than grateful to have found her! I was instantly comfortable when I sat in her chair, feeling like my hair was in good hands. Jensen spent almost 2 hours cutting my hair! Her attention to detail is phenomenal, which is exactly what I need in my stylist. I will continue to go to Jensen at Oohla’s in Fremont for balayage and haircuts from now on. Try out Oohla’s and Jensen. You won’t be disappointed!

I love the way Nichole cuts my hair! She gave me lots of layers and they are blended to perfection. She is really good at coloring too. I am a brunette but going gradually towards blond. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family!

I love Oohlas! I have always had a great experience here. I’ve always been happy with my haircuts and they give free bang trims! The space is cute and everyone is really friendly.

Amazing. I love love love Nichole. After moving to Seattle from a place where I had an amazing stylist, i had a super hard time finding someone I liked. Nichole took the time to really understand what I wanted and make sure I was 100% satisfied. I will absolutely be going back to her and would recommend her to anyone.

I had received multiple recommendations for Jensen from coworkers, so I decided to set up an appointment for balayage highlights. I have to say, it was the best hair color I’ve ever had done– it looked perfectly blended and toned while enhancing my natural hair and eye color.
Fast forward a year, and I still regularly go to Jensen because of her skill, expertise, and professionalism. I really appreciate how she is never afraid to give her opinion, but ultimately lets the client run the show. Also, she never skimps on the little details, such as finishing.

I have to post an update because over the last 3 years since my 1^st review, Abbé just keeps getting better. In fact, I have moved cross country from Seattle to Atlanta, (je suis triste :(, but that is for another day), yet I choose to fly back every few months to visit my doctors. I have been treated by the same 2 doctors for pretty much my entire adult life, so I have chosen not to transfer to new, Atlanta varieties (despite the incredible expense I now shoulder by my decision).
I give you this background because I consider Abbé to be in that same bucket, i.e. — someone that cannot be replaced, despite the 3000 miles between us. Instead, I schedule my hair cut and color appointments 3 months in advance to ensure that my 24 hour round trip cross country jaunts can both accommodate my medical needs as well as a moment to pamper myself out at Oohla’s in Fremont. In fact, during my last trip a few weeks ago, I was 15 minutes late for my appt. Abbé never made me feel uncomfortable or rushed (and, trust me, I respect her time and would have cut out the color portion of my appt. in order to avoid any backup to her schedule because of my tardy doctors). I don’t know how she does it; perhaps, she blocks enough time for unforeseen circumstances so that all parties are treated with the same level of on-​time professionalism.
In any event, I expected an abridged consultation at the very least.
Instead, she dedicated a good 12 – 15 minutes to consult with me on what I liked about my last haircut, what I wanted out of this haircut and more importantly, just to catch up on our lives (while pouring over the hair color charts). She understands the art of color blending and is always honest about what will work for your given hair type /​natural tones, even if it isn’t what you want to hear. I say this because I may want blond but my dark brown roots with auburn tips simply would not respond well to that drastic of a lift (without looking like hay). Instead of just pointing out why it wouldn’t work verbally, she took the time to walk me through complementary shades in that same color family that would work. Instead of the garish red root color I came in wanting (don’t ask why), she guided me to this beautiful shade of burnished, coppery auburn. Instead of painting highlights on my newly cut bangs, as per my initial request, she walked me through what they would look like during the 3 months between now and my next appointment (PS– which would have detracted from the overall look since I am at an inbetween phase between 2 styles as I transition from my razored bob of last year to the desired long, flowing locks for this year). In addition, she painted on new highlights in the area that surrounds the bangs which created a beautiful face-​framing effect when I blow out the front of my hair. Best of all, the painted strands can be sideswiped for a more demure, natural look. Genius!
I have received more compliments from strangers about my hair color than I have ever received (and I am a chameleon with my hair color choices so that says a lot).
I am going on 8 years as a customer and hope, dear review reader, that you give Oohla’s a call. Abbé is her name and you will NOT be disappointed with your resulting perfectly coiffed hairdo.

This place is great!
I was visiting from California and decided to give these ladies a try. I went from long hair to an A-​line bob (which was a dramatic change), and came out completely satisfied with my new look! Jensen was the lovely lady I went to. She is so sweet and personable, and when I came back home to California, I received a Thank You card with a complimentary service card for my next visit. I don’t know too many places that go out of there way to do these things!
The point is, they have great customer service, a really cute shop, and reasonable prices. This will be my go to :) Check them out!

I’ve been getting my hair done by Abbé for about 4 years now (crazy!) and now she does she does the hair of pretty much my entire group of friends. We joke that Abbé will reveal your hair destiny — (were you actually born for a bob? to be a red head? to star in Blue Crush?) She’s helped all of us define and realize our style. The spider web of referrals speaks for itself! Coloring and cutting your hair isn’t cheap — but knowing I’m on a budget — Abbé makes it last. I’m blonde and I go in every 14 – 16 weeks which was unheard of pre-​Oohlas. On top of the fantastic work Abbé does, I just LOVE going to Oohla’s. The salon has an awesome vibe (good music, rotating art and wine!). The staff is all really cool and they do fantastic work! I’d recommend any of them based on what I’ve seen in my countless hours their over the years. Go see Abbé, your Hair-​Destiny awaits! :)

I was visiting Seattle and walking around the Fremont area and walked into Oohla’s. Very cute salon. Quaint, welcoming and very cute. I booked an appointment with Sheila for a Blowdry. Sheila is new to Seattle and is from LA which is where I am from too. She was very professional, super cool and did an awesome blowout. I have very wavy/​curly hair so I wanted a blowout that was smooth, but not stick straight and that would last a few days. Sheila did exactly that! My hair had volume and lots of movement. I also got to see one of Sheila’s clients that she had just finished a color on, and I thought she did a fabulous job! If I had more time I would have totally booked a color. But definitely next time I’m in town.
So Unilocalers! Book with Sheila!!! She’s awesome!
