Quint Eby Salon is everything everyone says about it and more. A wonderful, quiet oasis with superb professionals (and the very nicest people). Toyo is an AWESOME talented stylist at this terrific salon! I'll bet his color is just as suberb as his cuts are. Every few months I come into Seattle on business from Texas and always visit the wonderful folks at Ottica for my glasses. June trip I was complaining so much about the really awful cut and color I had gotten in Austin, that they got on the phone and made me an appointment for a cut with Toyo, an amazing!!!!! wizard with scissors. After over 15 minutes of analyzing my hair, face shape, body type, and overall look, Toyo spent an hour and 1/2 very precisely dry (yes dry) cutting of my crazy curly/wavy hair and produced a versatile look that I can style casually or more finished. The shampoo and head massage were a revelation and the styling tips Toyo gave me as he finished my hair were the best I've ever gotten. The best thing: this cut works as well in the hot humidity of Texas as it did in the cool damp of Seattle. Finally, hair I can travel with without tons of product and tools, and I don't dread what my hair will look like each day - every single day I get compliments on my cut. Just yesterday, having not even combed my hair after spending 3 hours doing Pilates and yoga, 2 women stopped me in the grocery store to ask me where I get my hair cut! One of them was planning a trip to Seattle so I gave her Toyo's card, the other was very dissappointed as there are no stylists and no salons comparable in Austin (just shops that do variations on big Texas highlighted and straightened hair). P.S. Don't worry about a language barrier with Toyo. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese but that doesn't matter, Toyo knows what is the best look for each individual and is excellent at teaching you how to style when you aren't at the salon. It's a long distance to go for a great cut by an artist but worth it!!
Pros: Serene Scene, Superb Stylists, quiet and immaculate -- a Restorative Urban Oasis
Cons: Belltown parking can be a hassel-- take the bus!
