Fabulous hair at an affordable price

by Jacksoe3 at Citysearch

Today I went to Phase 3 for the first time for a cut, color, and perm consultation. When deciding on a place to go to (I've tried out many salons in the greater Seattle area) I was encouraged by all the positive reviews on Citysearch; these great reviews turned out to be dead on. When I made the appointment, I didn't ask for any stylist in particular and was scheduled with MONICA. She did an absolutely amazing job, and was incredibly sweet. I came with some vague ideas and a couple pictures of what I was thinking about, and she gave me several options of styles and colors that would work best for me. Before she did anything she clarified what she was doing so there would be no surprises. Monica gave me one of the best (if not the best) hair cut I've had, and the color is not flat at all (she used three colors, and applied them in a way that would look even better once I had my perm done). While my color was setting she also gave me an phenomenal hand massage, and the shampoo felt amazing as well. When it was time to pay, I was shocked at how affordable two and a half hours of coloring and cutting was. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Phase 3- friendly staff, extremely talented stylists, great products, and all at a surprisingly affordable price!

*UPDATE* Since getting my hair cut and colored by Monica, I've received countless compliments about how flattering my new hair cut is. I'm excited to see the results of my perm in just another week!

  • Pros: Friendly staff, knowledgeable stylists, affordable prices
  • Cons: Parking

MUST see CONNIE at Phase 3 by Gary Manuel-No one better

by HappyGirl4ever at Citysearch

I am THE PICKIEST person with THE MOST DIFFICULT hair on the planet, it seems! I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars going to the "best salons" here and in various cities, while travelling, and having my hair cut and colored by the supposed "best" designers. Some great, some not so great.

I now have a system for evaluating designers: hair design as discussed before the cut and how it compared to the cut upon completion, same criterion for color, instructions on how to style at home, how my hair looks when I leave, how it looks when I style it, and how long the cut and color look good before the next appointment.

If you have thick hair and a lot of it, like I do, you will understand how awful it feels when the designer meets you for the first time or you return for services again later, and the designer has a look of disappointment and fear, b/c there is a lot to work with.

CONNIE enjoys working with all types of hair, even mine! As someone with a lot of hair herself that is thick, she understands that awful feeling when a stylist gets a look at and touches her hair...Oh no, here comes one that's going to take a long time and will be difficult to work with!

So....how did "evaluation" go? CONNIE gave me a design and color that exceeded what I thought was possible from anyone! My hair was previously hacked (it looked like I had 2 entirely different hair cuts on one head- sort of a modified mullet!), followed by another bad haircut to fix the previous one, then two color jobs which went from orange to bright yellow that was in terrible condition. Bottom line, she exceeds my criteria! What a priceless gift to have hair that you’re happy with!

CONNIE takes the time to listen to everything you say and to go through pictures and color samples until a design is selected that meets your needs, and you can achieve that look every day on your own! She'll tell you how different designs and colors might look.

I'm hoping to see her this week. I'll give an update after that visit. I'm sure it will be positive!

Do yourself and your hair a favor, see CONNIE at Phase 3!

  • Pros: CONNIE is an artist who cares about her guests and her work
  • Cons: Not a single one
