I've gone to all 3 VAIN locations and the service and stylists are top notch! They take the time to listen to what you want your hair to look like. I'm very particular because I wear a wig so I don't have any leeway when it comes to a bad haircut, but the two stylists I've seen, Misa and Lydia, are both superb.

  • Hannah Duckworth

Have really enjoyed my first VAIN experience. Quincy gave me the most wonderful blunt bob cut on very straight hair. A free touch up trim is included within 4 weeks of your cut, which is awesome. Everyone is friendly, products are great, salon is clean, trendy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

  • Ashley Senske

I always feel pampered and beautiful after leaving Vain. If you want good hair by people who know what they're doing, this is your place. Tiffany is an amazing hair stylist as well as good at interpreting what her clients want. They also have a cool selection of local products.

  • Jordyn Richey

Jessica did an amazing job on my hair! She truly listened to what I wanted and spent time talking about what would and wouldn't work with my hair. It's not every day you find someone who knows what to do with curly hair and is able to cut your hair into an awesome curly pixie.

  • Allison Arias

First time going to VAIN and I had a fabulous experience with Amber. I wanted a fresh look and with bangs, so this was a leap of faith! I showed her some photos for inspiration, and she nailed the 90s blowout mid-length bob look I was going

  • Megan Grant

Highly recommend Raven. She took the time to strand test my hair the day before my appointment. Then the day of my appointment she spent so much time and effort into making my hair perfect. She did exactly what I asked for. You can tell she

  • Timothy Sorrells

Friend scheduled an appointment months ago. Stylist left VAIN and any of the stylists scheduled appointments were cancelled without notification to the client. Poor management decision to act in this manner. Thankfully a new appointment was

  • Madeline Peters

I love VAIN and have returned here over the years for especially tricky hair cuts or colorings. I've seen various stylists but have trusted VAIN to consistently hire top-tier people. I see other reviewers mentioning a negative receptionist

  • Jessica Wood

I had been avoiding getting my hair done for over a year because of a string of bad experiences and I couldn’t seem to find a hair stylist to stick to what I communicated. Until I had my appointment last night with Jessica and she executed

  • Denée Blanchard

Summer did an outstanding job! I've always had long hair and she gave me my very first pixie! I had a very specific look I wanted, and photos. She really took her time, listened, and did an absolutely fabulous cut. She was kind and easy to

  • Lauren Kennedy

I can't rave enough about my experience at Vain! Amber was so thorough talking through what I wanted, making sure we were on the same page and that my hair would do what I wanted. Before Vain would even confirm my appointment booking, they

  • Christian Lenard

I’m so happy to have found VAIN. The staff is nice and welcoming and my stylist Summer has given me the best haircuts of my life! My hair can be frustrating to keep up with sometimes and jumping from one studio to the next is a headache. I

  • Murray Sampson

I've been going here for haircuts for about three years now. I see Cassie and she's really wonderful - friendly, remembers past conversations so we have plenty to talk about, and she's the only stylist I've gone to in my life who can make

  • Juliette Vega

Jessica did a fantastic job with my hair! I have long curly greying black hair. Most stylist have tried to sway me into dying it. Which is very much not me. She listened to me, gave some great suggestions all with me in mind. Which I find

  • Kelsey Ford

I’ve been on a journey to find a stylist that is a great fit for my hair type and bob cut. I found Fabiola by online searching and was extremely pleased! She took her time, consulted her thoughts with me every step of the way, and had so

  • Avery Holoubek

I got my hair cut here by Grace and it was phenomenal! I had quite the quarantine grow-out and she cut it into a completely new style perfectly - I've gotten more compliments on this haircut than ever, even a few weeks after it was cut!

  • Ivy Antunes

Toni was great, the booking process was pretty easy, and I love my haircut. Got a big chop and Toni talked to me about what I wanted and it turned out even better than I was imagining! Highly recommend. Had to wait a few weeks for an

Visited Vain Hair Studio in Ballard and had the pleasure of having Kayley as my hairstylist. Kayley showcased impeccable technical skill and creativity in giving me an outstanding mullet haircut. She's a great listener, ensuring she

  • Angie G

Ritz it AMAZING! I went in with a general idea of what to do with my haircut & her consultation style was great! She listened and gave me her honest opinion & I ran with it! Super happy with my haircut and will be coming again! <3

  • Angela B

Thank goodness got actual inclusive businesses. Considerate of those covid conscious and still require masks. Wonderful haircuts and caring staff that goes out of their way to make sure you are safe and get the haircut hou want.

  • natalie smith

Humiliating, insulting and traumatizing experience. I scheduled a haircut for 12:15 today with Fabiola. The streets around the Ballard salon were blocked and I had a hard time finding parking space. I found a

  • Michelle Hughes

I got my hair done by Grace! She was awesome! Sometimes I get a little social anxiety when I go to the salon, but Grace made me feel super comfortable, didn’t try to force convo, matched my energy level,

  • Nikki

I’m pretty bummed with my experience. I went to Ritz. I had long black hair and went to lighten my hair so eventually I could do vivids. I wanted to keep my hair healthy so I was prepared for it to

  • Bre Legan

Great location, attentive and friendly staff, and professional service! I rarely return to a hairstylist, but I've had three full service cuts from Lydia now and I couldn't be happier!

  • Aislin Percival

Jessica Wheel did my mermaid hair. I'd never had my hair colored before. She did a great job and I have gotten so many compliments. If you go, tell her I sent you …

  • Maria Nini

Asked to dye my hair to its natural color (that is dark brown) and I left with solid black :( Also they ruined the white tshirt I was wearing. Very disappointing :(

  • Shelbie Bergman

I love coming here so much! If you are looking to get some fun color in your hair, I highly recommend Tess at the Ballard location. She’s so good at what she does!

  • Lisa Macias

BUYER BEWARE!!! Vain = Supercuts If you’re from Seattle, BEWARE, VAIN has lost its edge and customer service has _the bed.

I have had a few cuts now from Kayley and she is amazing. So sweet and professional and totally understands my weird hair! I won’t go anywhere else

  • A. Van Dyke
