The Scene
Since 1996, Victoria Gentry and her crew have guided Seattleites in dyeing, color correction and deep conditioning, along with bohemian-chic cuts, unique hair extensions and creative updos. The Belltown store and salon carries edgy clothing and accessories designed by local artists and stocks a smorgasbord of professional products, from high-end Sebastian goop to down-and-dirty developer in a plain brown bottle. Staff members are delighted to enlighten customers regarding the perfect chemical cocktail for super-styley hair and warn about potentially hair-frying concoctions.
The Services
Everything hair-related--cuts and a literal rainbow of color options. Patch tests are recommended for more daring dye adventures, so make arrangements to stop by for a test-drive before your official appointment. Vain also now offers a variety of spa-type services, including waxing and massage.

I have lived in Seattle for over a year now and have been to numerous salons trying to find that perfect fit. My roommate recommended Vain so I thought I would check it out. I had an appointment with the lovely Scarlett and wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do to my hair, but SOMEHOW she managed to get it exactly right. I went to my birthday dinner with gorgeous hair that everyone loved! Not only was the color and cut amazing, it was inexpensive (I'm used to paying California prices!), BUT wait there is more, I can come back within the next month and get a free trim. Crazy! This places rocks, and Scarlett was great. Thanks Vain, I believe I found my salon in Seattle!

I recently became a Vain patron and let me tell you I dont see myself getting my hair cut anywhere else anytime soon. The people at Vain are always welcoming, full of enegry and stylish advice. One new staff member in particular you should really check out is Valentine. He is a very talented new newcomer to the Vain ensemble with ability to fix you up with a clean short cut or some thing a little edgier with style and imagination. For $28 dollars a cut its a steal, so hurry and get yourself an appointment with him soon before his calender fills up!
