CUTZ Meridian Salon Art

I love going here to get my haircut! Colleen Kurke is an amazing hairstylist and a wonderful friend. Thank you!

Like many others, I bought a living social for a Moroccan Oil treatment and hair cut. I had called ahead but no one picked up so I left a message. I waited for a call back for about a week but never heard from the salon. I called again and finally someone picked up. I think you have to call several times to be able to book an appointment. I wish they had an online system where you can book at your convenience. This might help their business.
When I got there, the salon was empty. The salon in itself was pretty nice. The decoration is more shabby chic — bohemian style. I liked it. It is a nice space located in Wallingford. There was plenty of parking on the side street.
My stylist was Amber. She was really nice and tried to make me feel welcomed by asking me questions. The Moroccan Oil treatment made my hair feel silky and smooth. I feel like afterward, it has more body now. It also smelled nice. The hair cut took less than 10 minutes to do. I wanted a short bob. My only qualm throughout my experience was that the hair cut wasn’t cut with much detail. After I got back, I noticed some hair that was just a little longer than the other side. It definitely did not look right. No worries though because I got a pair of scissors and cut it myself. I should have examined the hair cut more but didn’t have much of a chance. Usually, the stylist gives you a mirror to look at the front and the back. After she was down styling the hair, I was herded to the front desk to pay. I really liked that she took the time to blow dry and style my hair. That entire process felt therapeutic and nice. She also took the time to give me some tips on how to style my hair. She didn’t try to sell me on any products but just told me the names of what I needed: texturized or a sea salt spray.
I totally would recommend this living social to friends. I think I probably paid a total of $ 45 (tip included) for the hair cut.

I was in town for a wedding and needed an up-​do. I found this place on Unilocal,and it was my lucky day — Jenn was available the morning of the ceremony. I was pretty unhelpful describing what I wanted, but I had some pictures which helped. Jenn then worked magic! I absolutely loved the end result. It was just beautiful, and I got a ton of compliments on it at the wedding. (Most importantly, it stayed put through a very long day, pictures, and some intense dancing!) Jenn was patient and walked me through what she was going to do at each step, and gave me a few tips for the future — a really nice touch. I wish I lived in Seattle so I could become a regular! I highly recommend Jenn if you need a nice hairstyle for an event!

This was my first time going here and I had used the Living Social deal. I had Jenn who was amazing. I’m no hair stylist, but it was obvious she had a finessed technique. She knew what I wanted even without me explaining it properly. I mean she actually was so focused on cutting my hair, she didn’t hear what i said at one point. That’s when you know your stylist cares and is genuine.

Robert has been taming my unruly locks for more than five years now. His artistry and expertise ensure that my hair always looks fantastic with minimal fuss on my part. Looking for a new style or color? Roberts the guy. From my typically more conservative ‘do to amazing funky colors and wild styles, Robert’s the guy.

I used a Groupon for a partial highlight and I wish I chose a different salon. i had Julie who is apparently very experienced but doesn’t appear to be a people person. She seemed very rushed through my highlights and they resulted streaky (which I specifically asked that they not be streaky) and I have a big single streak right at the front of my head which when I brought up my concern about, she quickly dismissed. I thought she was going to break my neck while shampooing my hair too– the roughest shampoo I’ve ever had! Overall, she just didn’t seem to care about the customer at all. Felipe (the manager) seemed very passive aggressive and sarcastic. I wish I had a better experience here.

Julie was the stylist who cut my hair and she was very thorough and professional. I was surprised that the inside of the salon was a heck of a lot nicer than the outside — it looks like a run-​down gas station! Great location and good customer service. Seems to cater to an older clientele (50-​plud). Awesome Morracon oil products add to its appeal.

I am so very impressed and pleased with the service I got yesterday from Julie. I did buy a Living Social coupon to be introduced to this place but I am so happy I did. I got highlights and a haircut that make me look 10 years younger, YAY!

I’ve had great haircuts here from both Jen and Colleen. I prefer to have my hair cut here. But the last few months I have had numerous appointments cancelled or rescheduled with little notice or reason, which is really frustrating. This evening’s appointment for a cut before the holidays was just cancelled because «the stylist’s not going to be in; not sure what’s going on.» No one else is available to do my hair unless I’m willing to take time off work tomorrow. I’m frustrated and feeling like I need to find a new salon.

I bought the groupon through them, so they knew I was getting a good deal. In return they gave the the worst haircut I’ve every received. They have hot tea, which is the only reason I’m giving this crappy salon 2 stars. Will never go back here again. If you want a cheap haircut, buy the groupon yourself and do not reveal you have it until it’s time to pay. Maybe you’ll be treated better than I was.

I’m so glad I found this place! After having several bad experiences in Seattle, a senior stylets accidentally died my hair red at Gene Juarez and another lady cut my hair into a part bull cut when I asked for a bang trim at Wild Roots in Northgate. I finally found someone who did exactly what I asked!
Julie did a full foil for me. She was friendly but not fake or uncomfortably phony like some stylists. She did it super fast and it looks great! I’m so thankful as I have my brothers wedding and a trip to Vegas coming up and with the bad cut from Wild Roots I was sure I was destined to look bad in any pictures all summer. Anyway this will be my goto place from now on.
The building itself isn’t super nice but I don’t care. I think some salons focus too much on the décor hoping that it will make up for the bad stylists. It doesn’t.
One last thing the guy at the front desk was great! He helped talk me threw exactly what I needed and got me in the day after I called! Again I am super thankful for these guys. Thanks CUTZ you guys rule!
If you go here ask for Julie you won’t regret it! :)

This was not a fake review. This review was made in 2012, and just showed up on Unilocal.Worst salon EVER. Sorry my last name does not start with a P and I did not buy product. Horrible experience.

I went last Saturday for a trim and Keratin treatment because of an online deal I saw ($ 60 for both). I believe my hairdresser’s name was Allison, and she was nice, pretty friendly after warming up a bit, but it seemed like all of the hairdressers had different information on the treatment?
I had called in only a few days ago to ask about the keratin treatment, and they said that sweating and washing with water is totally fine; just no shampoos. Allison seemed very adamant that, if I was going to do strenuous sweaty exercises in the next 24 hours, I probably should not get the treatment done at all. So I skipped my hot yoga session and got it done anyway.
I can see a difference in my frizzy half of my hair (yes it’s weird, I have two types of hair; frizzy and straight), and it feels (and looks) much smoother than before. Can’t see much of a difference for the «cut» though; I’m still keeping my hair long.
I would get it done again (but probably not for anything more than what I paid), minus all of the hassle probably (depending on how well it’s going to last). The hassle is maintenence. You can’t use any sodium or sulfate ingredients, and yes, that means sodium chloride. These ingredients apparently strip the keratin from your hair and makes the treatment not last as long. SODIUM CHLORIDE = SALT. SALT = SWEAT. I want to do my exercising and hot yoga, and boy now I think my treatment won’t last as long because of the activities I do… Oh and make sure you don’t go swimming or to the beach; I imagine that the keratin would be all gone by the time you step out of the chlorine or salt-​filled solutions.
One thing that I didn’t really like was the shampoo bowl, or where your lay your head. It was literally, a bowl, and not a comfortable one at that. (Kind of hurts your neck). Moreover, the hairdresser must not have liked the setup either, because rather than standing BEHIND the bowl, facing my head, there was a wall blocking it and she had to stand around it kind of awkward and it meant that my head felt a bit uneven during the wash.
Anyway, I opted out of buying one of their sodium-​and-​other-​ingredients-​free shampoo and tipped her better instead. Standing around trimming hair for 2 hours is hard work, and you can always find something cheap at Walgreens (I managed to find shampoo there with the right ingredients for only $ 5.99!)

I got a haircut and partial color highlights using a Living Social certificate. I believe I was seen by a stylist named Jason. My first impression of the salon was as most people stated, it’s dated. Jason wasn’t rude, but wasn’t very friendly either. The cut was ok, the color wasn’t the best, but again o.k.
Would I recommend, probably not. Would I go back, no, however I would not discourage others from trying the salon out, it might work out better for you.

I used a groupon earlier today to get a cut, color, and style. upon arriving, the exterior of the place is a little run down, but I was a fan of the interior décor. it felt stylish but not stuffy or pretentious.
I had an 11:00 appointment with Jason. I arrived about 15 minutes early and the shop wasn’t open, which I thought was a little odd, but I ran over to Starbucks and they were ready for me by the time I came back. Jason was very friendly and conversational. I like that he always kept me informed of what he was doing. before he even touched my hair, he confirmed that I was aware of the additional $ 20 charge for dye due to the length of my hair (I was aware, but I appreciated that he brought it up anyway). we went over some color swatches and he managed to whip up the exact color I wanted (a chocolatey golden brown with NO red). the entire color, wash, cut, and style took almost exactly 2 hours which seems to be just the right amount of time. Jason was knowledgeable and double checked the directions I gave when it came to my cut. I didn’t feel rushed nor was there pressure to do something beyond what I wanted with my hair (which sadly seems par the course with a lot of stylists to try and boost sales). there were no products pushed on me, which I appreciated.
all in all I had a great experience. my hair is super shiny, soft, and light, and the color came out great. I would definitely use this salon again.

I had my roots dyed and a cut done by Jenn yesterday. What a great place. I’m new to the neighborhood and I was looking for a new stylist. I had gone to another neighborhood salon a few months before and my cut was so-​so. The stylist there insisted that I had curly hair and cut my hair accordingly. But my hair is in-​between as it is growing out after I lost much of due to chemo. Anyway, Jenn did a great job — spent about two hairs with me dying my roots and figuring out what cut would be best. The atmosphere is very low key and relaxed. The owner is also a stylist and was very friendly. I definitely will go back. I washed my hair this morning and it looks great — ready to go! The salon itself doesn’t look like much on the outside — no frills. But the cut is what counts and I am happy with what I got.

I’ve got to start out by saying that the 4 stars I give go directly to the lovely Ms. Allison. She is my new hero, as she did wonderful things to my head, and made me visually acceptable, once again.
The salon is housed in a former gas station, so it’s oddly shaped and has long windows that allow you to peruse the boulevard as you get yourself prettified.
The receptionist/​salon manager was very helpful and accommodating, and the general feeling in the salon was super casual, which is and isn’t a good thing. There was a lot of screeching and laughing going on amongst the staff, which can be a good thing, if you’re not into a mega-​professional, serious atmosphere-​type salon.
Cutz may be a little rough around the edges, but if Allison is doing your hair, none of that matters at all.

Yes, I also used a Groupon and I was hesitant because of Unilocal reviews from other Groupon users. Let me put your worries to rest; my experience was great. I had Allyson as a stylist and I couldn’t be happier. She listen to what I wanted and made clear effort to give me the cut I requested. The oil treatment didn’t do much for me, but I am not too worried about it.
As to the salon, it looks «raggedy «from the outside but the inside it’s just fine; small and clean.
Scheduling was no problem either.
Conclusion. I am happy with the whole experience and most importantly with my new hair cut.

I needed a last-​minute haircut ASAP and found the (really awesome) Groupon deal. I called somewhat frantically and they said that not only could they book me in the next 30 minutes, but instead of buying over the Groupon website they would give me the deal price at the salon. Very convenient.
Allyson was super awesome. I’m usually not «chatty» at hair salons but she was super friendly and fun to talk to, and I got a great haircut at a great price. The oil treatment is great. Oh, and free tea while my hair was drying!
The salon isn’t exactly fancy-​looking, but it’s clean. I recommend it.

This is a nice cozy place to get a hair cut. The prices are in line with anywhere else you might go. I like that they have the Moroccan Oil products. I started going here when I found a Groupon for their Moroccan Oil treatment. My hair was so soft afterwards! I loved it.
I always go with Allyson — I have fine hair at a medium length and she always finds a way to cut it that makes it functional, easy to style, and best of all she is always willing to share her hair styling tips.
I’m looking forward to going back.
Update: After my last few experiences I must add this note — the reception and scheduling practices are TERRIBLE. This most recent visit I was scheduled to come in and when I got there my hair stylist was not available. They tried to contact me earlier but had the wrong information in the system (which I still need to update). On other occassions I have been re-​scheduled and have just had a difficult time getting a hold of someone to talk to. The girls are all really nice, but if these problems continue I may have to find a new place.
