Elle Marie Hair Studio

Update again: 2÷7÷15 Only because of the mystical powers of Taylor, the colorist who works there, did I decide to give this place another shot. I am more than willing to admit that due to a long horrendous ordeal with multiple salons incompetency, I may have some baggage issues that potentially borderline, «Permanently stuck in a fetal position in a crawlspace PTSD.» I have spent literally thousands of dollars on products, undeserved tips, and time working on a simple color goal. I have reasonable expectations, ALWAYS try to be as knowledge able and courteous to my stylist as possible, and very thankful which I reflect in generous tips. Because I was unable to wait another two weeks for an appointment, I cautiously scheduled my appointment today, and emphatically stressed in detail to the receptionist, that i would need a skilled colorist. There is little room for anymore errors, or I will soon be bald. I was assured I would be well taken care of. I was not. Somehow, despite olaplex lifting my hair several shades, I ended up leaving 4.5 hours later with BROWN HAIR. I was LIED to. Nobody asked me how I would feel about depositing a darker brown RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THE beautiful HIGHLIGHTS i had paid 200 bucks for less than 2 months ago. AND ON POROUS HAIR STRANDS THAT WILL TAKE DARK. So now, I am stuck several shades darker, and ALMOST right back where I started from with more damage to my hair. Awesome. Instead of toning down the golden blonde which didn’t go with my cool complexion like I had cautioned earlier, MY HAIR WAS USED like some sort of free for all, salon homework project and I’m left so angry, there really isn’t any PROFANITIES in the ENGLISH LANGUAGE that can adequately convey how incredibly pissed off I am. Instead of owning it, I was fed a bunch of b. s like my eyes can’t discern between drastic color variations on a color wheel, and I left looking like I was attending a hoodrat festival. When lying and flattery didn’t work, I was eventually offered something like a time to get it fixed. HOW EXACTLY CAN IT BE FIXED? MORE FLIPPEN BLEACH??? It’s already been bleached to death. I’m going to probably end up having to cut it into a Bob. HOW does one walk into a salon, to get a nice build off of the work another artist has done in the same salon, and end up exactly in the opposite direction?! It’s not like it didn’t lift! IT DID LIFT LIKE A LOT LOT. GODDAMNIT. Why is it that I spend MY time trying to be a considerate, reasonable, super chill client, who respects my salons time, and the Stylists time, but people cannot be bothered to respect my time or even ASK ME or care about my hair, before they arbitrarily start dumping shit in it like they’re baking a mystery cake or something?! The look of faux shock that I even had the AUDACITY to be upset, was just the cherry on the cake. They knew. I heard them practicing a polite way to BULLSHIT ME ABOUT IT as my hair was rinsing. «Oh the highlights are gone… er…“ITS MORE CONSISTENT COLOR NOW» «OH…ITS DARK… ER…ITS A DEEP RICH TONE NOW» SCREW YOU!!! Even my husband, who is known to LIE to keep the peace about my hair fiascos, said wtf. NO I absolutely refused to pay, and I have NEVER EVER DONE THAT. I am not going to pay one penny for this twilight zone nightmare on my goddamn head with hot ROOTS. I am one of the most relaxed, forgiving CHILL customers to roam this earth, and I am goddamn done. Anyone and everyone I will warn to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Sorry Taylor. If it was salon de Taylor I would praise it to the moon and back, but ONE PERSON is not worth this humiliating crap. I would let you do my hair in a bathroom gas station before I gave one penny to these fake ass people, who are all smiles, and ya aha, sure I hear you, until they do what they want, charge you hundreds of bucks and push you out the door. No thanks.

I had the best experience I have ever had at salon Elle Marie hair studio in lynnwood Washington today. My stylist was Roxy and she was amazing. She paid so much attention to detail and was super friendly. She gave me excellent recommendations on product for care after my cut and color. She was also patient with me and answered all my questions. I will recommend this salon and Roxy as a stylist to anyone wanting an amazing experience and a very hard working and friendly stylist.

Marissa did an amazing job on my hair!!!
The salon is clean, cute, and open! There are gowns available, changing rooms, up to date magazines, and wine For ladies that are getting their hair colored! What a treat! Talk about a day to yourself!
I wanted a balayage, of course! And Marissa did a phenomenal job! I love my new gorgeous hair!
If you’re wanting color done, I would highly recommend seeing Marissa! She’s a level 4.

Shout out to Manda who spent so much time on my hair this evening after a train wreck home-​dye job! She was so caring and knowledgeable — she clearly knows exactly what she’s doing! She helped me gain confidence back after I nearly wrecked my hair and she was so kind throughout the 3.5 hours it took to get it back to normal. I can’t emphasize enough how amazing she is and how wonderful everyone was that I met there! Thank you!!!

Manda was phenomenal, and Im looking forward to my next appointment with her!

I had piper as my hairstylist and she did an amazing job of fixing my balayage! Before it was way too warm and the blonde was not blended into my darker hair well at all. She did an amazing job of blending and warned me of all possible outcomes when I’d ask her to do a certain color. She also didn’t damage my already bleached hair. I’ll definitely be coming back and asking for Piper.

After 10 years and thousands of dollars with Gene Juarez, I rarely left feeling satisfied. Decided to give Elle Marie a try and couldn’t have been more pleased. I had my hair cut and colored, with a few highlights. Thank you, Marissa, you did a fabulous job and I would recommend you in a heartbeat.

Dakota is one amazing stylist. Not only is she super talented in hair coloring and cutting, but her personality is outstanding. She does such a wonderful job listening to your wants and needs and is always encouraging new things that works. I would recommend her to anyone.

I thought everything was going to be simply amazing. I did my research. I came in for a hair consult before the perm. I bought all of the products one would need for curly hair, top brands and things the salon recommended. However I left the salon wondering what went wrong and the bottom line is that two months post perm and my hair is still heavily damaged. All of my hair around my face was burned off to where she placed the rollers. A lovely two inch crown framing my face. I’m still having hair loss from breakage. Getting a refund and a few samples of shampoo to try did not fix my fried hair. With no feed back on how to fix my highly damaged hair.
When I can in for the consult, Erika, looked at my hair and pictures of what I wanted my perm to get me closing to achieving. She said since I had very long, virgin hair with natural wave it would turn out great. I waited 5 weeks for my appointment and came in bright and early on a Saturday morning for my first perm. Flash forward 4 hours, perm is over and my hair didn’t look very curly, but she said it would be different after it was shampooed and styled after it set. She went on to style half my hair with one product and the other half with a different one to see the difference things I could do. Which would be great for any other cut and style, but when you can’t shampoo for 72 hours, it just leaves you looking strange and like you got a crappy uneven styling. Within an hour of leaving the salon I noticed that the curl was gone, all gone, but I waited the 72 hours like I was instructed and shampooed my hair. My scalp had been very tender since the perm (having never had one I didn’t know if that was normal). I let the hair hair air dry like I was instructed, I put the recommended product in my hair. The next morning my hair was not remotely curly and completely frizzy and my scalp was killing me. I called the salon with my concerns and was given an appt a few days later to meet up with Erika and have her look at my hair.
When I arrived I could see the look of utter surprise on her face. My hair was frizzy and lacking any and all curl. I had lots of spots on my scalp that were extremely painful and sore. Some areas looked like hair was matted it was so badly damaged. After a few minutes of looking at my hair, and poking around in it Erika told me she had absolutely no idea what could have happen and that she had never had anything like this happen before. She said she needed to do research and went in the back for about 10 minutes. When she returned she said that no on in the back had any idea what could have gone wrong. She then went on to say the only thing that could have given me a burning on my scalp and utterly fried hair was that I must be on a medication that would make my scalp extra sensitive. (I am not, and told her that). She then tried to blame it on my PH levels. She stated again that she had no idea what could have possibly happen. Nor could she offer any way of making it not look awful and fried. She was very careful to not acknowledge that she burned my scalp or hair. The words frizz and fried where never used by her.
I had my head and hair looked at by another professional and was informed it looked like I had track burns, that not only had the stylist burned my scalp but she also burned my hair. I was told that due the the damage I should expect to have burning that lasted about 7 days and then it would start scabbing up and the scabs and flakes would start coming up at about the 10 day mark. Also, that because my hair was so badly burned I should expect to have a high amount of hair loss from the locations on my scalp where the burns were the worst. The professional I saw after I met with Erika was completely right.
In the end, I got my money back from the perm and 3 small samples of shampoo. That doesn’t come close to fixing the fact that my long (lower back) hair is so damaged that I look like Hermione Granger in the early years. All because I wanted to have some curly hair and look cute on my honeymoon. I asked multiple times how to fix my hair and Erika could not give me a single piece of advice, she just kept saying she didn’t know what went wrong so she didn’t know how it could be fix.
The main reason I’m writing this review is because I’m still having issues with hair damage and I’m going to until the burned off hair grows back to the length it was. (lower back). Instead of admitting she (Erika) did something during the perm that resulted in my scalp getting burned, my hair being fried, and breaking, and not having any curl in it, and then having scabs for two weeks she said it must have been something with me. I have lost my trust in this company and their assistant manager. She burned and ruined my hair and then could not suggest anything that would fix it, besides telling me she could re perm my hair… Umm no. I would not recommend this salon for any treatment or style to anyone ever again.

First time customer. I made an appointment based on great Unilocal reviews. I explained to the receptionist my concerns and what I was looking for in a hair stylist. She scheduled a consultation with Manda.
I met Manda for the consultation and she was great. I had just recently gotten a bad hair cut and color at another salon and I was looking for a fix and recommendation of the best cut/​color for my face shape, complexion, maintenance. Manda truly listened and then offered her own suggestions. We made an appointment for a week later. I was so excited it was hard to wait the week. But it was well worth the wait,
Manda did an awesome job with the color and cut. She’s an amazing artist with color. I love my new hair style. Thank you Manda. See you again soon.

I have gotten my hair done @ gene Juarez, ultra, regis & an array of other salons none of them could get the tone of blonde I was looking for except Elle Marie! When I came here I had lost hope on someone that could do my hair correctly. I was blown Way by going to Elle Marie and absolutely love my outcome! I saw Vicki and she was great & I will definitely be back to see her! they also serve complimentary coffee, tea, & wine (red& white) that they purchase from total wine next door to them! Very nice couldn’t ask for a better experience.

About time a guy put a review in here. I had a great experience today, am quite satisfied with the cut and style.

If you ask any of my friends, they will tell
You how picky I am with my hair. My mom was a hair stylist and always gave me the cut/​color I asked for. So finding a stylist to do my hair and get exactly what I ask for is very rare. I went to Seattle on a trip and found Elle Marie studios. I picked this salon because it actually wrote that they did the balayage style I was looking for. I called that morning and they had an opening with Manda. We had a consultation and I showed her a picture and she knew right away what I wanted. After almost 3 hair color coats, gloss, hair trim and 3 hours later, I def got the salon hair that I asked for! Manda knew what she was doing and is passionate about what she does. I’m very pleased with the outcome. The only complaint is that I don’t live in Seattle to continue going there. I’m gonna warn ya, it’s not cheap. But I feel like it’s well worth it if you get what you want. ESP if you spend 3 hours at a salon.

I went in again as I was looking to change up the green. Kari wasn’t available this time (but coincidentally right next to me the entire time– I also liked that she remembered me), and I got placed with Michelle, who was also great!
That green was stubborn, but Michelle had the patience and follow through to get the color how I wanted. I loved the green, but after two months and it not going with all of my outfits, I wanted to change it to something more universal. She provided that and gave me the exact color that I showed her as a reference. I like Kari and Michelle because they’re efficient and no BS. They’re up front about pricing and not put off when I ask about it, and they both had the patience each time to give me something that I’d leave happy with. I absolutely love this place, and I did something that I have never done, which is book an appointment for a touch up in advance for the future.

I was referred to Dakota by a friend. I have had many bad experiences with my hair, color not turning out right and the stylist frying my hair. I have always wanted to do crazy fun colors and no one ever seemed to get it right.
I started seeing Dakota back in the fall last year and have been completely impressed. She is an excellent colorist, she knows exactly what to do. She is personable and will do her best to make whatever it is that you want to do happen! I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you Dakota for all your help!

I am not normally someone who puts a lot of work into my hair. I shampoo every few days, air dry, and brush. But as a new mom I have been feeling less than glamorous lately and wanting to do something nice. My husband suggested something at a salon and watched the baby while I got out for 2 separate visits to the Elle Marie Hair Salon. Alicia cut my hair and did a lovely job adding layers and doing whatever it is stylists do to make it bouncy and cute. I never know how to explain how I want my hair cut but she did a great job figuring it out. I loved it!
For the second visit I decided I wanted to treat myself extra and get some color added. Purple Balayage! A glass of wine and a couple hours of relaxation and I’m one happy momma! I love how it came out and am excited for my next visit. It’s such a nice treat for a new mom. Thanks Alicia!

This is a late review but I got my balayage done back in December by Emily Horton. She was just absolutely fantastic! I loved how it turned out and grew out. I haven’t dyed my hair in many years so I wasn’t so sure what I wanted, and then Emily talked me into trying a balayage and it was so successful. She really takes care of your hair and listens to your needs. My hair was medium to long in terms of length, and with the gloss it costed $ 120. (without tip) I’d say that’s pretty good. Emily also offered me a glass of wine which was complimentary and wonderful. :) It’s safe to say I’ve found my favorite colorist/​salon!

A few weeks ago, I came here to get my hair colored for the first time, balayage style! My hairstylist, Emily Horton, did a fantastic job. I told her I wanted something subtle, with a natural looking color, and that’s exactly what I got.
The only downside was I had to wait 15 minutes extra upon arriving on time. Despite the wait time, I’ll still be coming back, due to the quality of services!

I have been going to this location for a little over a year now and have had all my hair appointments with Brooke.
I love everything about this place.
The look of this salon is very clean and modern.
The girl at the front desk is always very welcoming. Once I am checked in, I am always asked if I would like something to drink and and if I would like my coat hung up while I wait for Brooke to get her station ready.
When I typically go in to the salon, I am there for a cut and color. I will be the first to admit that I am pretty indecisive when it comes to picking a color. I always want to change colors, but am never sure which would be my best option.
The thing I absolutely love about Brooke, is that she knows what she is doing. She will be very honest with me and tell me which colors will look good and which I should avoid. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. She will come up with an idea, and show me a picture of the color she is thinking. After every color I have done, I get compliments on how good my hair looks.
My hair cuts have always been a success as well. I am always terrified I will have a horrendous hair cut that I have to hide or try to fix. This has never happened to me here. Brooke has always been cautious that my cut is done correctly, and that I am 110% happy with how it looks. I’m sure this takes up more of her time, but she has never seemed to mind, and always seems happy to go through that extra step with me.
Their customer service never disappoints!
Elle Marie also uses and sells great products. I have purchased quite a few different products and have been happy with all of them. That being said, I have never felt like I have been pushed to buy anything.
Getting your hair done can take up a lot of time. But every appointment with Brooke, time has flown by and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
It is always a challenge at first to find a great hair stylist for you. I’m glad I came across Brooke. She is now my go to stylist and I highly recommend her.

Had an OK haircut experience at Elle Marie this week. I was able to score same-​day appointment, yay! The place is very welcoming, clean and cozy. The staff are friendly. Upon entering the hair studio, I was promptly greeted and offered something to drink… oooh, nice!
My stylist was sweet and she listened attentively to the style I proposed. She asked several questions throughout the cut to make sure that I was getting the style I wanted. She asked if I wanted more layers in my hair, which would add some volume to the style — to which I said yes. After blow drying my hair, I saw the cute pink hair extension promo that they’re doing for breast cancer awareness month (for only $ 10!). I thought that was cute and the hair extension comes in two shades of pink. I ended up getting the darker pink extension and I love it! What a great way to get an outrageously bright color without looking like you’re re-​living your rebellious teenage years. I could easily tuck the extension under the rest of my hair to hide it.
My hair was good coming out of the salon (she did a good job blow drying my hair, although I don’t think the products really did anything). After I washed my hair, it became harder to manage (I had cut my hair with the hope that it would be more manageable). My hair has always been extremely low maintenance, so I was frustrated. It seem that the layers didn’t quite work out or maybe the style didn’t match me, but my hair looked heavy and flat, instead of voluminous as I had hoped. I ended up getting another haircut someplace else a couple days later.
I might come back to Elle Marie for colors or something else, but the haircut didn’t quite work out for me.
