What more can I say about Nihad that hasn't already been said. He is simply amazing. I live on the Eastside and he's well worth the drive. I can't say enough good things about him. You can always expect a very personal experience where he'll listen to your likes and dislikes and then give you an honest assessment of what can be done to make you look your best. He makes your color shine and even the grow out over time still looks great. And he's very efficient so you won't be spending all day in the chair. He is the fastest stylist I've ever had but also the most fun and skilled. He makes you feel very comfortable and at home in his salon. You can't go wrong with Nihad.

Pros: Nihad is the greatest...

Cons: None

I heard about Virtu by googling 'best blonde foil in Seattle'. I have had extremely dark brown hair for the past few years, but have always wanted to try the lighter side of things :) Nihad was so professional, and made me feel completely at ease during the whole experience. I never thought that I would be able to look good with blonde hair, but with Nihad's expertise my hair looked so incredibly natural. I love love love being a blonde, and I recommend Nihad to EVERYONE looking for a superb blonde foil. Thanks so much!

Pros: My hotttt new hair, fun music, breakfast served on the weekends! So cute!

Cons: Nothing

I was in seattle last weekend because I travel a lot from california to seattle. I found out about Virtu Salon, and I called , and the receptionist that answered the phone was so polite. She was kind and professional at the same time. I made an appointment with Nihad for a highlight and cut. When I arrived for my appointment, the staff took initiative to take my coat , get a glass of great wine and seat me until Nihad was ready to see me. I felt so comfrotable at Virtu because it felt like home. Virtu reminded me lot of the boutique salons in California. The atmosphere was great ,and I have never been to a salon that serves wine ! What a great way to de-stress and get your hair done. I met with Nihad, and he quickly started talking to me about my hair , the condition and what he could do for me. He asked me what I liked previously and what I did not. I was really happy , the whole time he was doing my hair , and we kept a smooth conversation going. There is nothing like getting your hair done, when the stylist does not have any personality. Anyways, when Nihad was done with my hair , the color was so beautiful. It looked so shiny and the damage was gone in an instant from the previouse color job. I have never had my hair feel so good after a color before. The highlights were so blended and uniquely placed on my head. I give this place a huge recommendation because of its' calming atmosphere, a staff that is professional and they do not rush. I will come back from califorinia to get my hair done each time my hair gorws out. I really appreciate such great color and can't wait to see you soon. Also I am so excited that you just brought in PHYTO products to your salon. I was sad that your shipment had not arrived yet. It just goes to show what a great salon Virtu is to be able to carry and be a PHYTO exclusive salon. Most of the upsclae salons in Calitforinia carry this line ! I will make sure to stock up on it the next time I am in Seattle.

Pros: my hair was shiny and nihad was so nice

Cons: the phyto products were not available when I went in , next time though

I recently had the privilege of having my hair cut and colored by Nihad at Virtu Salon and I absolutely love it!! I never thought about going lighter than a, hmm... chocolate brown lol. Nihad suggested we seriously lighten it up, and I have to admit, I was extremely nervous at first, but oh my gosh did it look amazing!! I really like that Nihad seemed to truly care that I left looking good! I absolutely love my new look, and I have Nihad to thank for that!!! Nihad is such a rock star!!

Pros: Hair style, attention to detail, music choice, parking, customer service, awesome artwork etc etc

Cons: None

I have finally ended my quest for the perfect designer! Nihad is truly a Hair God, and he lives up to that title in every aspect of his work. From the moment you step foot in this fabulously unique salon, you feel at ease- knowing that your hair is in very good hands. I can tell Nihad to 'surprise me' with my hair, and I guarantee I will love whatever he does. Yet another plus to this already amazing salon, is that they have just been approved to carry Phyto products! I absolutely loooooove Pyhto, and they are one of like, 3 salons in this area that carry this product! Truly amazing service, a must go. Nihad is the next big thing, hands down.

Pros: Ambience, Location, Service!!!, Music :)

Cons: Nothing!!!

I have never been impressed by a haircut in my life. I have been to the nicest, most expensive, "top rated" hair salons in Seattle and Portland and I've always felt like, "It's just a haircut and it looks decent." Color jobs have impressed me, never cuts. Nihad changed this. First of all, let me tell you, he really takes his time to give you the perfect experience. For $45 he gives you a wonderful scalp massage, uses high quality salon products, and styles your hair so its silky smooth and shiny. The only reason I give four stars is out of personal taste. I was given layers with wispy bangs straight across my face. I know this is in style now, but it felt like this was done more out of fashion than to fit my facial features. I felt like half my face was hidden lol. Fortunately, these bangs looked super cute to the side! Even though I was thrown off by this detail, everyone else seemed to love it. So much so that when I was at the bus stop person, after person, after person turned their head to take a look at me and my model perfect, straight and silky hair. In fact, one man pulled over and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need a ride?" When men pull over to talk to you, you know you look damn good. :)

I can tell you that Virtu Salon took their time on my hair, Nihad the owner was amazing. He was so nice to me , and treated me with great respect. He did an amazing job on my highlight , and I knew from the first time I met him, that I could trust him with my hair. I have never had anyone do my hair right, and I have paid over 300 dollars for my highlights , and not nearly as good of a cover up as Nihads. The salon was so cozy and unique, from the flowers and the way it smells inside. The mirrors are so great, and hand crafted !! I recommend this salon if you are seeking an authentic service , that is both quality and classy. I love this salon, from the antiques to the art on the walls. I found myself very relaxed , and calm. If you are looking for a service and at a reasonable price, check out Virtu. If Nihad is busy the rest of the staff are just as professional and talented. I am very happy that I found a salon that will listen to what I have to say and care for my needs. My hair means a lot to me , and it takes me a lot to trust someone , but how could I not trust Nihad, hes the hair guru!!!!! I LOVE What you have done , with your salon and with my hair ! I will tell everyone about Virtu.

Pros: Quality and nourishing hair color.
