Salon 08

Adele is hands-​down the best stylist I’ve ever worked with. I followed her to Salon 08 from her last salon — YES, that good! Not only is she super personable and funny but she seriously listens and does exactly what I ask, every time, which is pretty much the same cut and color every time. Adele is always very consistently great — no surprises, no drama. She matches the color perfectly every time and remembers exactly the look I want. My husband and both daughters go to Adele as well and we’re all very happy with her and love Salon 08!

Now living in Washington, I needed a new colorist. There are so many good things to say about my experience here; it’s hard to say what I loved the most. Referred by acquaintances, I went straight to Rob yesterday. I saw firsthand the transformation he made on my friend’s hair, so I decided to consult his opinion. After a consultation with Rob, I also met Adele, and I was then confident I could, after all, morph back into a blonde version of myself from my highlighted cherry red/​brown crappy –faded out mess I had going on. I had been told by a stylist I was seeing in Queen Anne that I couldn’t do this without my hair practically falling out… but Rob/​Adele assured me I would be able to and be happy about the outcome.
They spent a lot of time, were very patient when I was indecisive and nervous about the outcome. Having never seen me as blonde, I loved when Rob took the time to create a color to compliment my eyes.
The communication was perfect. They offered explanations, gave just the right blend of advice, professionalism while having keeping it light and friendly. Highly recommend either of them. Love.

I met a fellow Unilocal reviewer at Nordstrom and commented on her GORGEOUS hair. She sent me right over to Susie at Salon 08. This is a great salon! It’s easy to get to, relaxing and nicely decorated, all the stylists are friendly, warm and skilled. Susie brought up my one color brown to a highlighted happier head of hair– I am so happy with the results. She listens and checks in with me each visit. Prices are affordable and I love that I can book online and get text reminders of my appointment. I tried 4 other Salons in Seattle before finding this gem. I am SO happy I have found them!

Adel is the best stylist ever. She has been doing my hair for 10 years and I follow her wherever she goes. I continuously get compliments on my hair color! Salon 08 is a great place and dog friendly. I would recommend to anyone.

Love this salon and LOVE Adele. I told her once how I like my hair and that was it. She has also suggested things that I might like to try that I’ve decided to go with. She is very skilled at her craft and has turned me on to product that I actually use. She’s funny and enjoyable to chat and joke with when I’m in the chair. Can’t recommend her and Salon 08 highly enough.

Love love love this salon!!! They take the time to really listen to what you want, professional and super friendly! This is my second visit– first visit was with Rachelle who took my warm hair to an incredible blonde balayage — this time I went to Susie and im loving the cut and color!!! Id recommend this Salon to everyone!

I love the new technique, balayage, that Adel uses on my hair. It’s so much faster and the results are amazing. Adel always asks my opinion and what I want to do. She is very personable and friendly. I won’t let anybody else cut and color my hair. I definitely would recommend her to everybody.

Rachelle is my go to stylist! Being Asian, my black hair is hard to bring out the blonde, but she can magically make it happen! I have been turned down by many salons that charge an arm and a leg, but crappy color. Price is perfectly reasonable and she impressed me so much, I visit her at least once a year (for the last three years) to get my color. My sister and my brother’s girlfriend also go to her now. She’s good! You won’t be disappointed!

Rachelle is amazing! She got all of the brass out of my hair and I haven’t loved the color this much in years! She is a pro with blondes or those of us who pretend we are:)

I just had the best color and cut I’ve ever had in my entire life! Studio 08’sRachelle totally rocks. I would give her 5

Not only did I call only an hour before I came in, I’ve never been here, and my haircut was perfect! Adel was amazing, sweet, and funny. I’m excited to come back and get some color done in the future! Thank you!

I got a walk in appt with Rachelle on a busy Friday afternoon. I walked out looking and feeling fabulous. Rachelle seemed to read my mind and gave me an amazing cut. Very cool salon. Good music.

Yes people the other Unilocal reviews are true. Rachelle is amazing. My blonde is on point.;) She did a great job. Clean and intimate salon. Highly recommend it. Suzie is a sweetie too. Thanks guys! See you soon.

Go see Rachelle!!! I have been getting my hair cut and colored by her since I moved here from New York over a year ago and I won’t go anywhere else. She’s super awesome, listens to exaxtly what I want, and delivers every single time. I also love going to salon 08 for the hand spray tans. This salon is awesome, highly highly recommended!

Rachelle is the one to see! Not only did she give me a great cut, she listened to what I wanted and executed her craft with exceptional skill.
I am sure she can help you lessor men that don’t have standards because Rachelle does and let’s be honest it’s Seattle…you boys need all the help you can get. So call Rachelle and she’ll get your hair right and then go to Nordstrom’s and get your clothes right. Baby steps.
I usually go to Gary Manuel, Gene Juarez or Seven. .. I am so throughly impressed with this woman!

I really wanted to love this place, it’s right near my house and looked great from the reviews. I scheduled a hair cut, color, eyebrow color and lash tiny with rachelle. At my arrival I showed here the light strawberry blonde with ombré blonde tips I was looking for. She agreed it was pretty and said my hair color was close to that so it shouldn’t be hard. She mixed the color in the back and I began to get nervous as I saw her reading through mixture books but I figured it couldn’t turn out that bad. Boy was I wrong, I ended up with a mixture of dark purple, blackish brown on the top portion of my hair and the tips looks terrible, like an ash gray. I have super pale skin so of course it looked goth on me! For the hair cut I said I’d like something fun, like rocker chic, layers and spunky. I ended up with too short and crooked bangs and way to short of layers that poof out with my course hair.
Of course she was rushing me out because she somehow got over half hour behind and so I never got my lashes tinted. The positive thing I’ll say is at least my eyebrow color turned out a decent color.
When I left I immediately went to Walgreens and picked up color oops to remove this god awful color. My boyfriend was trying to be supportive and said it wasn’t terrible but he later admitted he was glad I stripped the color out because it was too dark and goth looking.
So $ 150 at the salon, $ 50 at Walgreens to remove the color and put on a somewhat decent color. I still don’t have the ombré I was looking for but at least I’m not embarrassed to go out with this color. The cut, well I have to put a portion of my hair in clips because it won’t lay down since the layers are too short.
I’m pissed about spending the money and won’t go back.

Moved to West Seattle about 2 years ago and the one thing I didn’t have was a barber. Tried a few places, including the low cost places like Super Cuts, Great Clips, Budget Cuts, etc, and although my haircut is a pretty basic operation, I still didn’t feel like I was getting the kind of quality, consistency, and service I want from a barber. A friend of mine suggested I go check out Rachelle @ Salon 08 and WOW I’m so glad I did! Rachelle is awesome, she made my haircut fun, she’s super attentive and the quality of my haircut was fantastic, and she’s now done a knock out job several times for me while also providing a smiley, warm atmosphere that makes me feel like I’m part of the community.
Thanks Rachelle, thanks Salon 08, you guys ROCK :)

Rachelle gives a nice haircut! Guys if you want to impress the ladies with a clean cut, she is the stylist for you

I’ve been searching a long time for a place like this. The staff are gorgeous and accommodating (coffee or wine while you wait).
My stylist, Nick, was friendly and quite talented. I gave a brief description of what I was thinking of, and he quickly went to work cutting back a month or more of growth. I have to say the results are getting plenty of compliments from friends. I can’t wait to go back!
I have tried all sorts of places for haircuts, but get the same or worse at a greater cost. If you are looking for a great haircut, without having to spend 50+ bucks for a men’s cut, I highly recommend Salon 08.

I moved back to Seattle in 2010, recently having chopped off all of my hair I was looking for a stylist who could work with my particular style.
I went to a handful of salons and payed crazy prices for what I hoped would turn out to be a masterpiece. Unfortunately each trip ended with an unhappy girl in search of a decent hair cut! I tried everyone… Aveda, Seven, Gary Manuel even Gene Juarez!
One day, through a mutual friend I met JEN DUFFY! She informed me that she had much experience with short hair and could give me the cut I had been wanting. Our mutual friend also assured me that she was fabulous and even though it was «all the way in West Seattle» I figured I should give it a shot. (I live in DT and dont drive). So from Belltown I caught a bus (back in the day 54, today C Line) and it took me straight to the junction.
Jen evaluated my hair and I explained the problem areas I had had with past cuts. I have very straight, thick hair and if it’s not cut properly the grow out phase can be extremely annoying. The shaved sides grow out straight from my head instead of lying down flat, the front bang area is too heavy and doesn’t allow me to style with ease… I needed a style that could get me through at least 3 weeks before having to return to salon!
WIth so many request I’m sure I could definitely be considered a pain in the @ss! To JEN I was a cinch… at least she made it seem that way! ;) I came home feeling confident, excited and eager for my next visit to the salon!
JEN’s not just a stylist, she’s an ARTIST! Most often I visit her with a vague description or idea for a cut and she’s able to turn it into something spectacular that works for me! I’m constantly getting stopped in the streets and at work to get inquiries about my hair. Even other hair stylists have approached me to take pictures of my cuts to keep for their inspiration! I’ve recommended many to Jen and always hear the same about her from others.
BONUS? Her prices are extremely reasonable and she’s always so flexible and dependable! Jen is personable, easygoing and will always have you smiling in her chair!
If your looking for an updated look, clean up or looking to try something wild JEN is definitely worth the trip!
