What a great salon ! I have been going to this salon for about 7 months now and have always left feeling great about the services I received. I typically go to Sarah for my cuts and colors but I am sure any stylist in this place would do an amazing job. It seems the owner has really taken the time to hand select a perfect combination of expertise and professionalism in each stylist.

If you are lucky enough to get into this salon, consider yourself blessed.

  • Pros: Vibe, skill sets of stylists,product lines
  • Cons: hard to see off street

I recently moved to Seattle from Portland and after a few months (and a few Great Clips trims) I realized it was time to find a salon. I had been going to the same salon in Portland for years so I was a little anxious about finding a new one. After reading reviews of Lisa Power Salon on Citysearch and Yelp, I decided to try it out. I am happy to report that I have found a place I will keep coming back to. Corina helped me update my look with bangs and the day before I left for Mexico she gave me the most amazingly subtle and perfect highlights. At my first visit, I loved how she took the time to just sit down with me and talk about what I wanted to achieve with my hair. She's super cool and really listens! Plus, I trust her to tell me if she doesn't think a hairstyle or color will look good on me. The overall vibe of the salon is very relaxed and unpretentious. Everyone who works there seems to really enjoy it, which makes it a fun place to go. They sell hair products but I have never felt pressured to buy anything. I have found the prices for cuts/color are reasonable. Since going, I have recommended Corina at LPS to a friend with crazy curly hair, and I swear her haircut makes me want to have curly hair! So cute. All in all, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a hair salon they will want to keep coming back to (forever!). Ask for Corina!

  • Pros: Ambience, customer service, tea, good magazines
  • Cons: Parking (sometimes)

I have been seeing Sarah for over a year now and get compliments everywhere I go on my hair color. Sadly gone are the days when I played with my color for fun, now it is a serious cover up job with the entire gray coming in. Sarah suggested red and my first thought was that I would look ridiculous, not saucy enough for that transition. I am here to tell you that not only do I carry it off, women and MEN literally compliment me several times a week! We have had fun experimenting with different shades and my new look has definitely given me a confidence boost.

I appreciate Sarah's sense of humor and her unique style and personality. I trust her suggestions and feel like she truly wants to make me look my very best. We discuss fashion and she has helped me feel more comfortable with fashion choices and accessories that I thought looked great on others, but just weren't me. It's amazing the transformation that has taken place and as another poster commented, there are other things I am cutting back on but my salon visits are not one of them. Keep on rockin' Sarah, you are the real deal!

The rest of the staff is very friendly and Tami makes a kick a$$ latte!

  • Pros: scalp massage, fun, upbeat atmosphere
  • Cons: parking, but now they have a couple of reserved spots

I have been seeing Sarah since she started at Lisa Power Salon in the exciting and hip Seattle area of Queen Anne. When I go in to see Sarah it's like treating myself to a day of luxury! When I get there she is quick to offer me my favorite beverage, an americano. Soon we are discussing what I want done. I have seen a lot of stylists in the past and even if I am specific to the angle I want to take with my look, they never seem to get it right. Sarah nails it every time, and in fact, I have even stopped telling her what I think first because I tend to like her ideas better. I consider myself a canvas awaiting a magnificent masterpiece! Oh, and one more thing...she gives a mean head massage :). Thank you Sarah!!

  • Pros: EVERYTHING!

I am new to the Seattle area and we all know how hard it is to find a great hair person and once we find them it is hard to leave!! I went to the Lisa Power's salon for the first time where Sarah did an AMAZING job! After getting hilights for 10+ years I can easily say she is the best colorist! She really makes you feel pampered and special! They even offer you a complimentary latte while you are getting your hair done! She also gives you a relaxing scalp massage which is worth the trip on its own : ) They also have great hair products including a Moroccan oil which literally transformed my hair! I have tried every leave in conditioner and serum and this product is amazing and smells wonderful, gives you shine while conditioning and protecting your hair.

With all of the daily stresses we all combat, take the time for yourself to feel pampered you deserve it!

The staff is very friendly and it is a beautiful atmosphere. I would highly recommend the salon and Sarah to anyone looking for that special hair person : )

I love the service and personality at Lisa Power Salon. I've been seeing Corina there, who is an amazing new talent at the salon. I happened to find her at the Aveda Institute when she was finishing her schooling and followed her to Lisa Power Salon.

The extra training that they gave her at the salon was great and has really enhanced her already natural gifting in cutting hair. I have thin and fine hair which is tricky and I know of many hair stylists that can not do anything with it, but Corina is definitely able to jazz it up! I've gotten lots of compliments on my hair cut and it is so flattering on me!

Plus, the color that they use at the salon is amazing and long lasting. Corina did a great job coloring my tricky hair and even did unique things with it. I love coloring my hair red, whether it be auburn tones or brighter. Usually, all red colors fade fast and by the time I go to get a re-color, I am desperate for it. Not with the line they use here. I still look an amazing red when I go back 2 months later to get the color redone. It's great!!

Plus, they are also really good at extra service friendly treats, like a great scalp massage (Corina does a great one!) and oh, I can't forget the great tasting lattes they make there. It's such a treat to go to the salon and get a latte with your service!

They may be pricier, but so worth it with the talent and service that you receive there. After being in Seattle for 2.5 years and searching around for a stylist, I'm definitely staying with Corina for some time!

Corina is doing beautiful work and I'm so happy you were able to follow her to our salon. While our prices are higher than at a school, we do have a price range that will fit most budgets.

Thank you for mentioning her additional training she recieved with us. We do have an extensive one on one training program where we coach each new team member on all aspects of cutting, color and styling. As a result, I am 100% able to endorse any team member that works for me...this is very important to me as my name is on the door!

I'm glad you are happy with the results you are getting. Thanks for spreading the word!

Sincerely,

Lisa

It's almost impossible to not be stressed about money, especially when its all anyone talks about. So obviously when you decide to finally spend some, you want to make sure that you get even more than you paid for. So I said to myself that one thing I would not skimp on in 2009 is seeing Sarah at the Lisa Powers Salon because her cut and color combination is the best in Seattle and worth every cent. I have been going to Sarah for almost a year now and what she has done for my confidence and self esteem by making me look beautiful is worth a lot more than the price I pay. (cut is about 50 bucks and highlights are 130). For a high end salon with a layed back attitude the recession should not touch this salon a bit. Go see Sarah, you will not regret it.

We realize this is a stressful period in the economy and we appreciate everyone that chooses to come to our salon. We work so hard to make sure we exceed expectations and I'm so glad you feel that way about Sarah! She is fantastic! Thank you again and happy new year. Lisa

I've always struggled with curly, frizzy hair that won't do what I want it to. Lisa suggested I try this new Keratin smoothing system she has, so I gave it a shot and the results were FANTASTIC! It's smooth, straight, shiny, and beautiful -- it looks and feels so healthy, like it's the hair I was born with. Instead of struggling for ages with a flat iron to get a "sort of OK " look, now I can just wash it myself, blow-dry it out, and it stays smooth and straight, with just as much or as little of a gentle curl at the bottom as I happen to feel like styling in. I finally have the hair I've always wanted!

P.S. Lisa also does really amazing, beautiful work with color -- you should see the great, rich red I'm showing the world these days. (As well as a wonderful cut!)

I'm so glad you are loving your super cool smooth hair. We have had such amazing results with the Keratin Complex Smoothing System. Most people have been able to achieve a beautiful smooth effect by just letting it air dry or if you want more volume blow dry with a round brush. I'm pleased you can now give your flat iron a rest! I think you will find your color will last even longer with the new smoothing system. Enjoy your new hair and send all of your fuzzy friends! Lisa

Lisa at Lisa Power Salon has been cutting and coloring my hair for many years. I love the salon because they are into new trends and technology. I've been complaining about getting older and how the texture of my hair has changed a lot in the past years - not for the better. Lisa talked to me about a new 'retexturizing' treatment. that the salon was offering. She and all her people are now licensed in this new process: It is amazing -- my hair is beautiful, straight and shiny - like I'm young again! Lisa always gives me fabulous cut and color - but this new treatment is fantastic. I love that Lisa Power Salon are of the few (if only?!) people in the city who have taken the classes for this new process. Love you Lisa - you're the best!

I'm so happy to hear you are loving the new Keratin Complex Smoothing System. I have seen amazing results with this revolutionary product. I love that it not only does not damage the hair but it acutally improves the quality of the hair, seals in the color and cuts down on styling time. As you mentioned, you hair is better that it's been for a long time. Thank you and enjoy!

Love you too!

Lisa

I am so happy with my smoothed hair. A smoothing system, I believe, is how Lisa described the treatment she recently applied to my hair. I always tell me friends, my hair is not curly enough to be curly enough to be cute, just curly enough to be annoying. My patience with a round brush and dryer is not high, but it didn't really matter because no matter how long I spent with my tools I always had something that kind of went were it wanted. After the straightening my hair just falls into place every day. Its so easy to make it just work out well. I've had several people tell me they really like my new style (I don't have a new style...just hair that will go with the plan). I love it!

  • Pros: Great upbeat atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, fabulous scalp massage

Thank you for the testimony! The Keratin Complex Smoothing System really works! I'm glad it is behaving. The other feature I love about this new service is that we can safely smooth the hair and then you are able to style it and still add volume if you wish. You can even go in and set it or curl it with an iron and it just won't be frizzy. The whole staff is expertly trained to apply this new service so send in your fuzzy friends!

Thank you so much.

Lisa

I love it, I love it, I love it! A few weeks ago, I was looking for something NEW for Fall and Lisa recommended I try the Keratin Therapy. Before the treatment, my hair was wavy and would frizz at even the slightest hint of moisture - not fun in predominately wet Seattle. So, I tried therapy - WOW - it's amazing - now my hair is soft, shiny and straight! No more time spent fighting to keep waves in check and it doesn't frizz out no matter the weather - it simply looks HEALTHY... Did I mention - I LOVE IT? :D

I'm so glad you are loving they new Keratin Complex Smoothing System. It is an AMAZING new product that we are having great success with! Not only does it smooth and defrizz the hair, it is actually good for your hair. The other benefit you will find is that it won't "grow out". It simply will fade out of your hair and over time your hair will go back to it's natural state until you do the process again. Because it's not damaging to your hair you can do it up to every six weeks. Enjoy the rain without frizzy hair!!!

Sincerely, Lisa Power
