CoCo & Co Hair Salon

I had an appointment for a cut and color with Sara and I am the worst customer. I showed up late as a new client for a pretty serious hair makeover. She was absolutely gracious about it and we talked about color (which came out fabulously) and then looked at some pictures and talked about the cut which was going to be a pretty big change from my current style.
Without knowing my personality or my hair she did a fabulous job. Her work was very detailed and she took all the time she needed to get it right. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
I may have finally find my new salon!

Christina was my stylist and she was great! Probably one of my best experiences while getting my hair done. She was so friendly and asked me the right questions when it comes to my naturally curly hair. I asked for the same length but long layers. She also used products specifically for curly hair and even found a way to make them more curly which I didn’t think was possible. She was so sweet and fun to talk to. I’m making her my go to gal and coco & co my go to salon!

Christina Darragh does a fabulous job, both with my color and cut. She is a problem-​solver, and I trust her to know what to do and how to do it well. She’s also warm, funny and kind. I also like that the products are non-​toxic, and the salon manager is courteous, attentive and smart. Great place!

Been going there for over a year now… they do a great job of offering personalized service, and making their clients feel important… can’t say enough good things about this place. My hair has never looked better!

I came to see Yulia for a balayage/​ombré. I wanted a more of a subtle look. I showed her so many pictures and she advised me which was actually what and recommended what would be best. She asked a lot of questions to make sure that the end result would match what I wanted. I also got a haircut and didn’t expect much because my hair has always been thin and flat but I was blown away! My hair was so full of life afterwards and the color came out amazing!!!

Antonio, Nathan and all the girls are wonderful! I’ve had appointments with both Sara and Yulia and have always loved the result as well as the conversation.
I’ve been to salons and had stylists all over the country, CoCo & Co is honestly among the best!

I recently had my hair done with Yulia after my stylist left. I arrived with a handful of pictures showing the look and type of dimension I was looking for. From the moment I arrived Yulia was attentive and asked questions. It was immediately clear based on how she talked about color, and brunette color specifically, that she at minimum knew what I wanted and understood what I was asking for. She made it clear she would do the best she could to do what I wanted but that it may take a couple of times to get the sophisticated dimension I was after. The fact that we even had this conversation, was a huge improvement from any of the stylists I’ve seen in Seattle the past 7 years. None of whom I ever felt got what I was asking for. I have stuck with the same stylists to give them time to get it right but have not loved my hair in a long time. I LOVE what Yulia did! She was very knowledgeable, set realistic expectations (though she exceeded them) and made a point to express she wanted to know if I didn’t love it and she would happily keep trying until she got it right. My hair took longer than we expected and I had to leave without a full blow dry/​style and Yulia even surprised me by not charging me for styling even though she didn’t have to do that. She sent a personalized short follow up email which was a nice touch. Hopefully, I can still get an appointment with her after this review! I definitely recommend her and will be back!

I loved CoCo & Co, It is a little bit far from my neighborhood but totally worth the trip. Yulia did an amazing work. I showed her a picture of the balayage I wanted and she did the magic! and even better. We spent time discussing my hair color, my roots and what was better for my dark tone and the result was amazing.

Coco & Co is a cute little salon in West Seattle that houses some extraordinary stylists. Yulia spent a goodly amount of time with me to get a sense of what I was looking for in my hair color and we discussed how to neutralize some of the overly warm tones I tended toward naturally. The result was fantastic! My expectations were exceeded and I walked out with hair that was rich in color, full of dimension, radiance, and silkiness. She loves making hair look beautiful and you can tell. She took extra time with me to make it just perfect, which I so appreciated. I am so happy to have stumbled upon Coco & Co and to now have Yulia as my color expert.

I visited CoCo& Co Hair Salon for the first time yesterday. I recently moved to Seattle and previously had the same stylist doing my hair for the last 10 years. You can imagine the stress in trying to find a stylist out here in Seattle. My expectations were not only met but exceeded with Yulia. We did a full balayage and cut and my hair looks amazing. Yulia was great at listening to my needs, while also using her professional expertise to guide me. She was sweet and attentive. I will definitely be back again.

I have been getting my hair cut and highlights with Yulia for years (I followed her from Salon Blast to Eastlake Hair, and now to CoCo &Co). She is an amazing colorist, and has never let me down. She has a great eye for color and contrast. I went to CoCo & Co for the first time last week for highlights with Yulia, and the salon itself is beautiful. Everyone was friendly, attentive, offered something to drink, and all in all, it’s just a really nicely lit, attractive environment.

I’m logging in to Unilocal months later, just to write this review. I hardly review anything, but Makayla (and I’m sure I’m spelling it wrong, sorry!) knows hair and deserves a shout out!
We moved to West Seattle, I found CoCo and Co through Unilocal and went to Makayla. She did a great job, but for some reason I felt I needed to check out other places. I did; it was bad. I ended up with a choppy weird mom-​do. Went back to Makayla, and just by looking at my hair 2 months after their cut, she knew what they did wrong with regards to hair cutting technique. She spiffed me up, and it was great. I’ve since moved and had another hair cut elsewhere, and its no bueno. I miss Makayla.

So, I walked in the first week it was open, just curious to see if there was ANY possibility that a salon so breathtakingly close to my house could possibly deliver both a satisfactory haircut AND, fingers crossed, some good personality/​personal connection for which I had been searching fruitlessly for years.
Well, I met Antonio & Nathan, the owners, started chatting and a blow-​dry later I was intrigued. A cut and balaiage later I was sold. After the keratin smoothing treatment, though pricey, this later-​life curly haired girl became CoCo & Co’s willing hair slave.
What can I say that hasn’t been already said? It’s all true. Antonio and Nathan are caring, professional princes of guys.
I am not just off the turnip truck — I have gotten my haircut at a bunch of pricey downtown salons for years and never really gotten the combination of personal connection AND expertise that I get at lil’ ol’ neighborhood CoCo.
Antonio told me that their aim was to give West Seattleites a place to go where they did not have to sacrifice quality for convenience and affordability and in my estimation they have met and exceeded that goal.
So, Antonio, the lead stylist as well as co-​owner, has raised his prices, but he is still more affordable than a comparable owner/​stylist downtown and I am pretty confident that my hair is just as good if not better, since I found Coco. Aaaaand, there is a bevy of lovely lady stylists at Coco who are all quite talented and more affordable. You are sure to find someone who can deliver what you are looking for. Or mix and match, as I do, when availability or cost is an issue (Antonio books UP).
From your check in at the front desk, to getting a beverage of choice (they can make you a coffee or tea drink pretty darn well), to check out, I think you’d be hard/​pressed to find many better experiences hair salon-​wise.
But that’s just my 2,000 cents ;)

Okay I do feel bad for this two-​star review, but it’s the truth.
I’ve had my hair colored by the same person for several years. Now that I no longer have that person available to color my hair, I had to find someone new. Who else would I turn to? Unilocal!
After searching reviews I found CoCo. I live in Edmonds, but the reviews were so amazing, I decided to make the trek to west Seattle and have my hair balayaged, cut, and a base to cover my greys.
Names aren’t necessary, but I will say she was amazingly sweet. We covered the grays and did a partial balayage. I was specific. My hair had been done, but since there was some grow out, all I wanted was to bring the color up, and cover the grays. I loved the caramel color my hair was when I walked in. It was so me, and I just wanted to keep it going. But it didn’t. After we rinsed out my hair, it was dark again. My previously colored hair was now a dark brown. I was disappointed. The stylist realized my disappointment and offered to try to bring it out again by painting additional pieces, and she did. I literally took five hours of this poor girls time, only to have ashy blond streaks. Not the warm caramel of my yester-​hair. I was devastated. However at that point I had an appointment I had to get to, so I paid and left. But as I kept looking in the mirror, all I could see was platinum blond streaks and brightness, and all the things I didn’t want in my hair. To add insult to injury, I wasn’t told I would be charged an extra $ 20 for toner, and my hair wasn’t even colored correctly. What was already right, ended up a totally different color in the end.
I’ve had to go to another salon to gloss it with new color, and am now back to how it was. 4 stars for great service and commitment to to trying to get my hair right. 1 – 2 stars for not getting it right.

I went in for a balayage with Maekayla and she is wonderful. The woman works wonders. She was sweet, patient with me (I was indecisive about what I wanted) and made my hair look amazing. She even taught me how to do a 5 minute supermodel curl to my hair. The salon was gorgeous. I really liked the live edge wooden tables. You can tell the owners both care a lot about this place. They also both came up and introduced themselves to me. I’ve never had that happen before. They were so nice. The prices were also very reasonable for a high end salon.
Thanks so much Maekayla, Nathan and Antonio!

It feels repetitive to be writing this since almost everyone has something good to say about this place, but I’m really pleased with my experience here, and it must be said.
My last two hair cuts at other places were disasters, and so I was very wary about getting my hair cut again. I’d just been letting it grow, but it reached that point where the bottom half was dry and damaged. I admitted defeat and jumped on Unilocal to find somewhere to get this taken care of.
Thanks to the awesome reviews, I decided to give CoCo & Co a shot. I called and made an appointment. They weren’t able to get me in for about a week, which was a little frustrating just because it gave me a whole week to remember all the bad haircuts I’d had in the past, but they’re popular, and they get busy, so I understood.
Lili was the one cutting my hair, and I must say she was fantastic. We chatted, and she listened to what I had to say about my hair, looked at the pictures I had brought for inspiration, and then she did her thing. She made the whole experience very relaxing, and she had some great suggestions about what would work best for my face as well as my hair type.
I had never paid this much for a haircut before, but I’ve also never had a haircut go so smoothly, and have never been this pleased with how my hair looked. It was almost a year ago that I got my hair done here but I still remember it being a wonderful experience, and as my hair has grown out, the cut has remained flattering. Thank you CoCo & Co!

I just had such an awesome ombré experience here. Maekayla did a beautiful job on my color and I absolutely love it.
I have been wanting rose gold in my hair and now I have it! So very pleased!
Antonio and Nathan are wonderful owners and I can tell that everyone who works here takes a lot of pride in their work.

And I thought the bad cut was the worst thing about this place.
How wrong that was. After an unintentional asymmetrical (read — one side is cut 1 inch shorter than the other) short haircut from Maekayla, I contacted Nathan– the Salon Manager. He offered a 30 minute Cut Correction appointment with Antonio
(the other Salon Owner). 15 minutes and three «Oh, sorry, Antonio will be a bit longer» excuses I left. It was supposed to be a Cut CORRECTION for goodness sake. And you expect someone to wait more than half the time being allotted to ‘fix’ bad service. Bad Cut, Bad service, DON’T GO HERE.
Oh Dear Nathan, I fear your pants are on fire !!! I did NOT come to CoCo the first time to correct a bad haircut– I have been growing out a very short cut for many months and was hoping to find a stylist to be ‘On trend” and help with a new style during the grow out.
At the appointment for the Cut Correction I was patient the FIRST time when you said Antonio would be 10 minutes and then you fled into the back of the Salon, never coming out before I left. After 15 minutes I had the desk person ask Antonio again and was told it would be another 5 minutes-​ish. That’s when I told the desk person that it had been over 15 minutes, your clock is wrong, I was leaving AND I motioned to Antonio that I was leaving.
You can disagree about semantics if you feel defensive, but I got a bad haircut and poor follow-​up service from this Salon and I do NOT recommend it to anyone.

Coco & Co has so many rave reviews that it seemed redundant to add another… except I get my hair done in «fantasy colors» and I’ve had experience with color correction by Antonio, so I can speak to both in particular. I’ve been getting my hair cut and colored by Antonio for over two years now.
I used to do my own hair color with bright Manic Panic hair dyes. Having natural black hair, I had to bleach my hair first to get any kind of bright effect. I’d feel mildly ill for days afterward, but was determined.
Once, I bleached my hair then dyed it blue during a sabbatical from work. I knew I’d have to tone it back down for work so I tried bleaching it back down to blonde for my return. Result: serious color disaster. There were uneven, greenish patches and random streaks of a sickly blue hue all over my hair. I have never been picky about my hair color, but for the first time, I actually took efforts to hide my hair — it looked that bad. Despite having rarely been to any kind of salon, I gave in and searched for a color correction specialist.
Antonio did the most stunning job of turning my patchy, discolored hair into a gorgeous, healthy-​looking blonde/​light brown with perfect highlights.
Since then, my hair color has continued to evolve as I got a new job that allowed me to try more daring colors. Each appointment, I describe my new hair color idea to Antonio, who discusses the logistics and helps me tailor it to something doable. Antonio mixes colors specifically for whatever idea we decide upon and the result of our collaboration is always gorgeous; usually better than I could have imagined.
I’m always amazed by how Antonio can morph one color scheme into another. He took my blue ombré hair and turned it into a fiery ombré of sorts, going from my natural black to red to orange to yellow (both are shown in the photos section).
It always lasts and fades out beautifully. When I did my own hair, it rarely stuck around for more than a few weeks. At Coco, they started using the Elumen line, which gives those wild colors longevity. It fades slowly but evenly and I always like it just as much as the initial color. You wouldn’t believe how many people ask me if I’ve gotten my hair done again just because it has faded and is different from the start, but it still looks great, like I just got back from the salon. (Advice: If it seems too intense at first, wait a few washes. Antonio plans for how the color will look long-​term rather than just the initial look.)
Manic Panic was fun and is great for those on a budget, but AS SOON AS you can afford to get your hair done at a salon, going to Coco is an absolute must. I get approximately five zillion compliments on every hair color scheme Antonio does for me — some people have even told me they were inspired to add a wild color to their hair for the first time.
I always book appointments with Antonio, but one of my more drastic changes required a second session to fix patches that didn’t quite bleach down enough and apply more color. Antonio is booked extremely far in advance, so I came in for a session with Lili, who did a stunning job of evening out the blonde and applying the color so that it mixed in nicely to the color I already had from the first session.
Everyone at the salon is friendly, helpful, talented, and conscientious. Nathan does a great job of running the business. He also brews a delicious vanilla chai latte. Did I mention they serve a selection of complimentary Starbucks drinks? Also, I’m always really pleased by how my side-​swoop bangs turn out, and they offer free bang trims for clients, to keep those pesky bangs in line between appointments.
My hair inevitably takes some damage from being bleached and colored frequently, but it is in great condition considering everything I put it through. Antonio is always very careful to ensure it doesn’t get really damaged. I use the Aveda hair repair line (shampoo, conditioning, intensive restructuring, and daily hair repair (to keep my hair nice and soft. I also get it trimmed by Antonio when I’m in to minimize damage to the ends. My hair cuts are usually the same and always look fantastic (Antonio cuts layers to show off the various colors).
If you couldn’t tell from everything I’ve written above, I highly, highly recommend Coco & Co! Even if Antonio isn’t available, he and Nathan really know quality and only ever have great, talented stylists work at the salon. Plus, Antonio frequently consults with the other stylists before they start hair color work on their clients.
For pricing, I’m not going to say it’s dirt cheap or anything (true quality never is), but considering the time put in and how much product gets used at each of my appointments, the price is very reasonable. Like I said, they’re very conscientious, and they never nickel and dime you. The quality is amazing and it really is a great value.
Ten stars! But since I’m limited by Unilocal,I guess I’ll settle for five.

I made a last minute appointment before my wedding to get a cut and all over color. I had zero expectations when I made my appointment.
I can now say that I have never been treated so wonderfully at a salon. EVER.
Zack was amazing in making sure he took the time to explain the color and go over the color charts and spent ALOT of time to try and perfect my curling iron skills. Which, Im sad to say are still pretty bad. :(
But I am more than pleased that he was willing to take so much time and care to show me how to do my hair for my wedding in Dublin.
They use Goldwell hair color which is in my opinion the best there is.
This is definitely a hidden West Seattle gem and I will return again.
