Salon De Paris

I walked in for a spa pedicure with no appointment yesterday after work.
Prompt, nice, good service. Very neighborly and friendly. Perfect-​looking polish job.

Prompt, nice, good service. Love that they carry the crackle polish! I love how nice & neighborly type friendly they are when I visit.

Alan gives great haircuts and does exactly what I want. I was going to bigger salons, paying more for cuts that were just okay. Great price, great cuts!

I walked in for a hair cut on a Thursday afternoon from the direction of Unilocal.It seemed fast, easy, and cheap. My expectations were low for this haircut as I just wanted 3 inches cut up and cleaned up which would keep my hair long.
Well, the gal that was working (she never shared her name nor spoke more than a few generically friendly sentences) took a clean six inch chop off of the back and I am now sitting here writing this review with a chin length bob.
It was one of those haircuts that kept getting shorter, and shorter due to her cutting my hair freehand and loose. After the cut was done, I noticed it was uneven in the back and asked her to clean it up. She grabbed a short hair clipper and used it on the ends to blend the sad ends.
I just wanted to shorten my hair a bit and carry on but I ended up with an entirely different look. It’s not enough to complain as in the end it will grow back anyway, but I’ve learned my grown up lesson. You get what you pair for. And I should pair for a good haircut next time!

This is a nice little place I stopped by for a pedicure on a whim. I walked in and got taken care of right away. Annie did a great job. The hot stone massage was way longer than I’ve gotten at other places. I would definitely come back here. $ 32 for luxury pedicure (basic plus salt scrub and hot stone)

Saw a couple good reviews here on Unilocal,and decided to try it. For the price you can’t beat it. Men’s haircut for $ 15 seems unbeatable for the area. Annie was quiet when she first started with the clippers but quickly warmed up to me and we had a great conversation. She followed my instruction and did exactly what I wanted. The waiting area is pretty funny with it’s typical 90’s style headshot books and posters. Go knowing what you’re in for and you’ll be fine. Cheap shop with good stylists.

I have been getting my hair cut here for years. They do a great job on men’s haircuts.

Went here a few weeks ago to get a pedicure. I usually go to a place over in Kirkland by my office, but it was a Saturday and I needed something close to home. There is nothing ‘Paris like’ about Salon de Paris. It is your basic low-​end nail/​hair salon. I didn’t have to wait, and the pedicure was only $ 21. However, it was rushed, not relaxing, the gentleman cut my nails way too short, and the polish job was sloppy. If I wanted a mediocre pedicure, I would have done it myself and saved the $ 21!
After my nails dried, I was quite hungry, so I went next door to the Vietnamese restaurant to get a Banh Mi to-​go. Lo and behold, who do I see behind the counter… the gentleman who just finished doing my toes! I hope he washed his hands.
(See review for Vietnamese Café & Sandwich for the full review. Spoiler warning… he does better Banh Mi’s than Pedi’s!)

The first time, I went to Annie. I showed her a photo of me (an 8.5 X 11) so she could see what I wanted. I explained that I didn’t want «white side walls»…too short on the side. I also explained that I didn’t want it long on the top because as it grows I started to resemble Lyle Lovett. She nodded and pretended to understand. Pretended.
She did nothing as I asked. She even thought the photo was of John F. Kennedy. She doesn’t pay attention and gave me a technically okay haircut, but noting like I asked. I asked her to, at least, shorten to top. She said she couldn’t do that.
(Is she insane or just incompetent?
I came back the next day, and asked Alan if he could fix it. He did it in a flash and was really nice.
The next time, I asked for an appointment with Alan. Annie made the appointment for 4:00. I arrived at 4… no Alan. I was told to go walk around for a half hour. Great. Alan came at 4:30. No apology. I showed him the same photo, asked him if he remembered fixing my hair and he said he did. Good.
Then, he just whipped out the clippers and buzzed my hair until it was wayyyyy too short on the sides and nothing like the photo. Too long on the top, AGAIN. Do they only know one haircut… something called «Number Two»? I left, displeased, and looking like an Enlisted Man in the U. S. Army.
Thanks.
I found out Annie’s real name is Lam. It’s short for LAME!
I wish I knew of a place to get my hairs did the way I want them did.
SIGH

I’ve gotten my hair cut there with Allen for almost 2 years now. As I usually only get a short buzz cut, my demands are not high. However, Allen always takes time to make sure my buzz is smooth and very sharp. He only charges $ 12 which makes me happy as well. Annie does my wife’s hair, coloring it and straightening it in a way that she only has to get it straightened (she has long curly hair) every 6 months. Their prices are very reasonable and the mani/​pedi is a nice treat as well.
If you’re looking for a swanky salon with atmosphere, this is not the place. But it is very clean and the employees are really sweet and work hard to do a great job. I highly recommend Salon de Paris.

There is nothing fancy about Salon De Paris (despite the fancy name) but it’s close, clean and quick. I’ve never been here for a hair cut, but come here quite frequently for a mani/​pedi. Alan is awesome! He’s quick and does a fantastic job every time. They have 4 pedicure chairs, but often only 1 – 2 people at a time available to do your nails, so if you come with a larger group it may take a little longer than usual. Well worth the wait though.
Great selection of colors, many choices if you want a fancier mani/​pedi (paraffin, hot stones etc) and super friendly.

If you are one of those people who enjoys the «beauty parlor» about as much as having a pap smear, these people will make it as painless as possible and will do a great job too.
Don’t be fooled… there is nothing «Parisian» or «salon-​like» about this place. It’s bare bones. But it’s clean and the people there are really super nice. Not too much chit-​chat and they always remember me and seem glad to see me.
They get you in and out, give you what you want, and if you don’t know what you want they will figure it out and it will be fine.

This is GREAT for what it is. Nothing fancy, just to the point services. Mani/​pedi combos on Mon & Tues was $ 21 (buy a pedi, get your mani free) and a hair cut with blow out was $ 14.95 (no kidding). I’m used to much fancier salons, but I’m happy with my haircut, even though its too short (it was my own fault, from my direction) and hair color services are reasonable ($ 55 for touch ups, $ 55 for partial foils). I will definitely go back again, Annie is a total sweetheart. Just keep in mind this is a NO-​FRILLS salon, and you’ll be pleased. If you’re looking for the luxe treatment, this is NOT for you.

Excellent service at a great price — we having seeing Annie at Salon De Paris for many years, she is the best!

Super duper clean, and the owner, Alan, is friendly and remembers his clients. Definitely a no-​nonsense place, which I really like. Sometimes the drama and pomp of places like Gene Juarez is just too much to bear.
I’ve had two cuts here and for $ 15, it is absolutely fabulous. I have naturally curly hair which I wear straight, and I get a layered cut. Sure, it’s not quite as good as the cut you’d pay $ 85 for, but it is verrrrry verrrrrry close and you just saved $ 70 and a whole ton of fuss.
Today I went in with my mother in law to get a pedicure, and SdP is running a Weds Thurs deal for free mani with purchase of a spa pedi. We decided after our pedis to get our hair cut, too, so we walked out of there with nails, toes, and cuts for $ 31. THIRTY ONE dollars. Are you kidding me? That leaves a lot of room to do a nice tip, too.

I’ve gone here twice… the first time, Alex did a great job, which is why I went back.
The second time, however…
…needless to say, if you’re getting a basic a-​line bob, he does a decent job, at a good price ($ 15). If you’re going in for layers, I say rob the piggy bank and go somewhere else — or you’ll end up looking like Florence Henderson.
I don’t bad mouth people/​businesses, that’s not my nature — but personally, if you have thick, curly/​wavy hair, do you want someone to ignore your request to not use thinning shears (the scissors with teeth)?
Think about it.
Other than my bad experience that ONE TIME, I would recommend for basic bob-​trims, a men’s cut, or simply for a manicure.

Both locations, including Greenwood do a very find job of haircutting and price is very good, about $ 10.

This salon, across from the Ballard Market, is a little formidable looking in a purple neon big hair kind of way but I was desperate for a manicure and decided to give it a go and I’m so happy that I did. The place is SPOTLESSLY clean with nary a Nagel print inside and I received the best no nonsense manicure I’ve had in ages. I’m looking forward to trying a pedicure next and folding a Saturday stop into my weekend chore routine!
