great

This is a great salon. I followed my stylist, Zan to this location a while back. There isn't a receptionist to great you at the door, but generally your stylist gives you a nod or a wave to let you know she will be with you in a second. The salon is clean, the staff professional, the service is good. I've been going to Zan for over four years now and, I'd recommend her to anyone. She's really nice, and she listens to what you want. See someone at Soci and you will probably have good results.

• Pros: color, style, waxing

Shannon Cotton knows hair!

by jlar537 at Citysearch

I have been seeing Shannon since I moved to Seattle in 2002. I have followed her from salon to salon and am pleased she found her home at Soci. I have worked in salons as a receptionist and have tried all kinds of cuts, styles and colors and she, more than anyone else has ever done, is able to make what I have in mind a reality. I would recommend her to anyone.

• Pros: Well qualified, nice, skilled and fun staff
• Cons: none that come to mind!

See Shannon Cotton at this Relaxed, Neighborhood Salon--You Won't Be Disappointed!

by seattledawn at Citysearch

Soci Hair Studio is a cute little neighborhood salon -- a nice change from the larger, more corporate feeling places. Shannon Cotton is truly a gem when it comes to haircuts and color. She is a bordering-on-obsessive perfectionist who wants to make sure that each and every one of her clients looks great and leaves happy. She has been coaching me through growing my hair out (I've had short hair for 15 years), and is keeping me sane with the occasional expert trim and fabulous partial foils to keep me focused and my hair healthy. Also, I really appreciate that she offers organic color. I would highly recommend Shannon and Soci.

• Pros: Great stylists, neighborhood feel, easy parking
• Cons: none!

SHANNON COTTON - THE BEST STYLIST & OFFERS ORGANIC HAIR COLOR

by deebowen at Citysearch

SHANNON COTTON is SIMPLY THE BEST STYLIST I'VE EVER FOUND! - Before relocating here in 2006, I?d lived and worked in the NYC-Princeton-Philadelphia areas. I?ve been to many upscale salon stylists over the years, and I usually will watch the stylists at work before choosing to book an appointment. Shannon is much better than any former stylists I?ve frequented. Since finding this stylist I can finally style my CURLY HAIR in a flash and the style holds throughout the entire day and evening. I requested a style that would be easy but professional and that is what Shannon achieved. I suggested to my husband, who has poker-straight fine hair, that he visit Shannon for a haircut. Interestingly, she also worked magic on his hair type!

Because Shannon offers ORGANIC DYE, I travel from Puyallup for a cut and color. I wanted an organic color and Mode was the only choice I found back then--I chose Shannon because I heard she was known for her ability with curly hair. I respected her work enough to follow her when she moved her workplace. The organic color that Shannon uses works so well on my resistant grays, and the auburn color doesn?t turn brassy like the dye most salons use! But, if common chemical color is what you want, she has that available.

Beyond her ability to style hair she knows how to listen, communicate, make you feel welcome and appreciated. She is a positive person who uses her natural gift to its fullest while maintaining an understated personality in favor of her clients. I highly recommend her for any type of hair.

• Pros: Shannon equals excellence in ability, personality, and in value. Relaxed atmosphere.
• Cons: Street parking, though it is in a semi-residential area.
