can't believe it!

by framas at Citysearch

wsugina should have said something 2 years ago instead of waiting till now. The ones that can't cut it (no pun intended) move on to other places, usually chop shops, Salons have turnover and the same one that did your hair probably isn't even there any longer. I have been going to Marketplace for over 5 years and have not had problems. If it was something I didn't like with the color, they fixed it! They are not mind readers, you need to talk with any stylist. Some don't listen, that's true, (that is at any salon)but thats why they may not be there any longer.

This salon is one of the best I have been to and I have been to salons all over the country. Daniel is one of the best colorist and stylists I have seen and he passes his knowledge on to his staff.

They all care and they take care of you. Plus they have fun, and smiling faces just make you feel on top of the world when you come out of the Salon.

• Pros: They take care of you
• Cons: parking can be tricky

BEST HAIR CUT

by mm121566 at Citysearch

Margo gave me the best hair cut ever! Their staff is expertly trained and it shows. I am always greeted with a smile and asked if I would like a beverage. I highly recommend the Marketplace Salon.

Stylish, hip, and down to earth!

by GabrielleNelson at Citysearch

In the past I have never known how to GET the cut I want, but here it seemed so easy. I went in with a sort of mop-top and, for starters, no one there laughed at me when I said I washed my hair with bar soap. Neither did they try to push product on me when they clearly had opportunity and good reason. But I sat down with the stylist, Helena, told her what I liked and didn't like about my current 'do' and asked her for her recommendation. What she offered was precise, flattering, and professional. It didn't hurt that everyone at Market Place is watching out for each other and commenting and giving feedback on how to improve their craft. I was deeply impressed by this cadre of stylists and look forward to needing a trim!

• Pros: They want you to look good!

From the moment I entered the Salon&Day spa,I knew I was in a very special place,Daniel and Melinda owners of this oasis,welcomed me as if I were "Queen" of Burien,I was excitedly introduced and greated by their entire staff of technician's. I enjoyed a full day of services,including:Hair cut&color by Jessi Senior Stylist where we donated over a foot of hair to Locks of Love! Now every place I go I get stopped to be told how beautiful the cut and color is and where did I go to have it done! YAY ! Her enthusiasm, personality combined with her supirior styling and color concept gave me all the security and confidence I needed for such a dramatic change. While I was receiveing my services,Paul Allen,Stylist took a great intrest in my daughter Mar'ysol and asked if she could be used as a model ! He did an amazing job coloring and styling her hair,it looked so natural and added life to her naturally very dark hair,his personality and attitude was sublime.I truly believe he is a Rock Star ! Next : Taryn Shepperd Esthetician took me back for a consultation,and the most beautiful job in shapeing my eye brows I could have ever wished for,she also did my daughters brows they were flawless ! Her abilitie to create a plan for me to help reduce the dark spots on my face,and helping me select makeup from their extensive selection of natural and superior Aveda products came effortlessly and with personal attention second to none ! Next : Margo, also a senior Stylist & Manicurist treated me to an amazing hand massage,and manicure that was just dreamy, I have 4 children 2 dogs and a horse, my hands take a beating but she turned them into works of art ! Even one week later my polish and hands still look better than they ever have,and her wonderful conversation and attitude and great personality added to this great experance. Next : Bridget Wells LMT. treated me to a very relaxing Massage, Her possitive energy and iluminating personality just flowed through me,my daughter was also given the same experance and was just elated by how relaxed she felt.

atmosphere and artistry

by EllenWalsh at Citysearch

Since I've been using this salon for my hair color, I have been complimented on my hair literally hundreds of times. On one occasion, a well known local newscaster walked across a ballroom and said "Forgive me, I must know whom your colorist is, your hair looks fabulous!" Always the salon holds an atmosphere of ease, and peacefulness. The professional staff are lighthearted, engaging with clients, and playful with one another. Market Place Salon has become a regular refuge for me, and I always come out looking and feeling beautiful.

• Pros: the colorists are phenomenal
• Cons: None

This Place is GREAT

by bohntr at Citysearch

I have had many massages, but Bridget is the best! She is just great at her craft. She talks with you to find out what you need and is one of the best I have come around.

Do yourself a favor, go see Bridget!!! You will not regret it.

As for hair, I have had several of the people cut my hair. Yvette, Daniel, Paul, they all do a great job. The person talking about Market Place is like Mastercuts, must be on something, cuz I have been to Mastercuts (years ago) and you get what you pay for!!!(Not good).

Market Place is a great place!! Enjoy it!

• Pros: Great People

Terrible!!!

by jes1424 at Citysearch

This place is terrible! They want way to much money for what they THINK they are worth. I wouldnt mind paying for a good hair service but I felt as if it was about rushing people in and out just like mastercuts. My haircut looks awful. I could tell they didn't really care about what I wanted when I sat down. I should of known better. I was told not to go here and I shouldnt of....Take my advice and make your money at least worth your time not theres!

• Pros: You can get in as easily as you can at mastercuts
• Cons: its like mastercuts

Horrid

by disgruntled53 at Citysearch

I went to Marketplace for a haircut and I have never had such an awful cut in my life. I left there in tears. I am not saying the stylist isn't good at what she does, I am saying her assessment of me and my hair was totally wrong. The cut she gave me for $50 was absolutely terrible. I had to go to another stylist the next day and pay to have my hair cut again. When I called them they said to come in for a redo - why would I do that when you screwed it up so bad the first time. I told them they should give me my $ back but that went nowhere. What a terrible place!

• Cons: Bad consultation

rude rude rude

by jillro at Citysearch

I went in to get my hair colored. This was not the first time I had been there, but it was the first time I was there when the owner was there. I will not mention the name of the person that used to do my hair to keep from getting her in trouble, but she knows who she is and to her I say "sorry, but I will miss your excellent services to me"

Daniel, the owner, was the rudest person I have ever met in my life. The fact that he was condescending and patronizing to one of his employees in front of his customers was by far the most shocking thing I had ever witnessed in a business before. My opinion of him is that he is an elitist and he thinks he is far above the normal human being.

I will never step foot in his establishment again

• Pros: none
• Cons: worst experience

WORTH THE DRIVE (if you're NOT in northern King County)

by colourshift at Citysearch

First...Margo. She did exactly what I wanted with my haircut. I mean...EXACTLY. I am TRYING to grow out my hair...had two haircuts in the seattle area that were...well... nothing I would write anything nice about. Margo, thank you. I am still on the road to shoulder length hair.

Second... Taryn. I had my first facial with her tonight... after having world class service in the various countires I've lived and worked in...she's right up there with the best. My skin feels amazing. I'll be back in a month (if I'm still working in the state).

Third...the desk staff is courteous, professional, and damn... downright warm and friendly.

I'm going back next week for a little funky colour work with Margo. I have absolute confidence I'll be estatic.
