Julia was just great! I am sooo pleased with my haircut! Great atmosphere in salon. Pleasant environment in combination with being a happy customer will lead to my returning.

I moved to seattle six months ago. I went to the big named Local salon for a cut, and the young lady who worked on me was really very nice but was unable to produce the cutting needs of my head shape. I went to a second big name salon, and it was better, but not as great as my Hair stylists in Los Angeles. I asked one of my coworkers who did her hair, and she told me about Tim at Salon Blast. She raved about her 7 years of wonderful looks, and changes he produced for her. So I did allitle research online, and saw that she was among a large group of very satisfied people. I showed Tim a few pictures of my ideas. Then he showed me a lot of his work from Sassoon's in London. I never realized how conservative my hair style has been. In the end I told him to do whatever he liked, as I had an event with my friends for a 'girl's night out.' He transformed my hair color, and gave me the most professional cut I have ever had in the 41 years of having my hair cut. I get it now. He is a journeyman stylist with a professional approach, and artisic flare unmatched. I went home to Los Angeles, and my mother saw my hair, and made an appointment for herself. I couldn't be more satisfied, and recognize all of these other reviews about his workmanship. I liked the low key atmosphere in his business.

Pros: Very Positive

Based on the numerous positive user reviews, I went to Salon Blast last week and was not disappointed..in fact, I absolutely loved it. After living in NYC and Philly for a number of years I was having trouble finding the right place and the right stylist in Seattle. I had bounced around to a handful of places that had received good reviews but I either found the salon or the stylist sporting a "hipper than thou" attitude or just general poor customer service. I had the most amazing time at Salon Blast a) because the atmosphere was down to earth, b) Antonio (who I'd just met for the first time) instantly felt like an old friend and c) I walked away with the best cut and color that I've had in years - if not ever! Antonio is extremely skilled, comes to the table with great suggestions and was happy to take the time to explain his strategy and how to keep it up on a day to day basis. I'm hooked - and so grateful that the search is over. Antonio is it!

Pros: Great Service, Great Atmosphere

WOW I just got back from visiting Antonio at Salon Blast, I have been looking for some one like him for a long time. He is a GRATE listener. And /very talented young man. Antonio Managed to cerate the perfect shade of blond. Not only did I get a fantastic hair cut but he showed me three different ways on how to style it. People don’t say you got up on the wrong side of the bad for no reason, so if you look good you feel good and I feel like a million buck :O) Thanks Antonio!!!!!

I was looking for a salon that could cut my long hair into the perfect layers without taking off too much length. Mariah was wonderful. She took the time to work with my hair and assess it before even touching the scissors. I now have healthy looking, long hair with the perfect layers!! Thank you Mariah.

Pros: neighborhood, atmosphere

Tim is the greatest hairstylist in town and the only hairstylist I would send my wife to have her hair done. My wife's hair always come out unique and fantastic. His cuts are always precise. His coloring is the best I ever seen - always natural looking and always pleasing. He puts in a lot of time and consideration into each visit to make sure the job is done right.

Pros: The best style cut and coloring in town.

Cons: Not cheap, requires at least 2 weeks for an appointment

I was excited to make an appointment after reading all the good reviews on here, but I'm a little dissapointed. I had Venessa, and while she was nice and styled my hair well, the next day when I showered and styled it myself, I realized one side was longer than the other. I thought I might have been imagining it but 2 of my friends pointed it out as well. :-/

I am not at middle age, but I am stairing down the barrel, and I am not going graciously. I am Asian, and I had not had a hair cut in 16 months. It is not easy with twin boys running around your feet. My husband took the children allowing me a few restfull hours of Grooming, and relaxing. It took about three weeks to get in with Tim, the owner at Salon Blast, and it was worth the wait. He just returned from training in London, and had a lot of outstanding ideas for my round face. He cut my fringe around my eyes like no one has ever done before, and I have been flooded with compliments. This place is the real thing. Now I know why people have given so many positive reviews. He is a terrific people person, and really stays focused on the hair, and not a lot of over chatting about the weather, global warming, or George W. . My hair does not have a perfect pattern around my face, and he took an hour, and a half to teach me to Air dry in such a way, that an engineer like myself can actually do, and have it looking really nice. I would give 10 stars if I could

Pros: At $95.00 a cut, the price per value is tooo low. He should charge more.

Cons: Tim only works 5 days a week. He should be at my house in the morning, fixing my hair.

About a month ago I was in a bad hair state. I had tried to dye my dark brown hair blonde at home and it had turned out quite bad. I was in dire need of getting it fixed, yet I was also very wary of hairstylists as I had always successfully dyed my own hair for over 10 years and also had my hair cuts over the years done by my family, the only people I really trusted to do a good job. I had also gone to two other Seattle area salons for consults in the weeks prior, and in both instances felt uncomfortable by the way they treated me, talked about my hair, and the solutions they offered. However, I had spent much time online reading reviews on Seattle salons, and felt quite convinced that I would have a good experience with Salon Blast, so I took the leap of faith and made an appointment. First, I can say that they were very responsive. I left voicemail on a Saturday evening, and received a call back the next morning on Sunday, and was in the Salon by the very next morning, Monday, getting my hair done. Second, I found the location very convenient, and the salon to be a comfortable, relaxing environment. Third, let me comment on Julia. I enjoyed many things about my experience with Julia. First, she really took the time to determine the right color I was looking for. She didn't rush it, or pressure me; it was a real dialogue about what would be best for me, what color would fit best with my skin tone and eye color, etc. Second, while applying the color, I really enjoyed my conversation with Julia. She is personable and enjoyable to talk with, and also very honest and direct, and real, which was very refreshing. Third, when it came to my haircut, I was going from long to short for the first time in almost 10 years, so it was a big step for me. Yet, Julia made me feel confident she knew what she was doing and what would look good for my face, and so I trusted her. And in the end, my hair looked great. I would highly recommend Julia at Salon Blast.

Saw hair stylist Antonio for the first time for my color, and I could not be more happy. He is a gentleman, with a lot of talent. I have to agree with so many of the other positive reviews, and say that this boutique style Salon is probably the best Salon in the city. It is not the cheapest, but I got what I paid for, and do not feel ripped off in the least. My style is modern/ alittle trendy, and the color is off the charts beautiful. I have to also suggest checks, or cash. No one seems to like credit cards in this place. No biggy, I wanted what I got. I usualy do not write comments. My husband found this place online while working in Pheonix, and made the appointment. He suggested this place earned another word to review readers.

Pros: Easy drive from Renton, WA

Cons: none
