Queen Beauty Salon

This is the best salon in Seattle, I have been coming to this place for over 5 years. She is an amazing hairdresser !

Absolute disappointment! Showed her what i wanted, asked her to give me a bit of layering. She cut my hair in a few minutes and it turned out like nothing i wanted! No layering, my bangs were thin and too long. Then I asked her to thin a bit of hair around my jaw, she just made it shorter! I think i walked out looking like her! I had to run to a different salon just for them to fix my hair!

Been getting my haircut here for a little under a year — my biggest concern is getting a cut that looks good even after leaving the stores often times it looks ok on leaving the store but looks terrible (too short, needs lots of blow dry and styling) the day after. Not here — they really understand Asian hair — uses layering judiciously to properly shape hair — avoid bulk and build up… and it looks good coming out of the store, the next day and all the way to the next cut, styled or not. Great results for me at least… Reasonable cost and quick efficient good looking haircut! Tip: there is free parking in the parking lot behind the store up the hill along sixth — there are several lots choose the one with the Fuji sushi sign.

I am not big on Unilocaling because I am all too unmotivated to give my two cents, but I just had to this time. I waited two weeks after my haircut at Queen to try to let it grow on me, see if time will make me feel better about it, but honestly this lady is just shit at giving a simple, layered, 2-​inch cut.
I came here because my usual hairdresser was out of town. I tried ringing some other places but they were all booked up for the evening or closed. I had a family dinner in an hour and was looking like an old broom so I was pretty desperate to get my hair cut right then.
I don’t care for pretty décor, frills, and whatnot, so I figured this place might deliver despite looking rough around the edges. She cuts your hair dry, which is fine with me, and which I prefer, but she started my haircut by yanking and grabbing my hair like I just ran over her pet cat.
Two seconds after looking at the finished result, I felt like I may have had made a mistake for not waiting til the next day to visit my usual hairdresser. Two minutes later, I definitely regretted being impatient. Two weeks later, I’m here writing this Unilocal review.
my two cents. Honestly she may be better at cutting men’s hair, there were a lot of guys that came through.

This place is very disappointing. She cut my hair about 2 inches too short, with one side about half an inch longer than the other. I asked for a cut that was one length, straight across, but it was very uneven and choppy. In addition, the lady who cut my hair didn’t seem to care when I pointed out certain issues while she was cutting, and kept saying that it was «too late.» There was no skill involved. No fucks were given.
This has been one of the worst haircuts I have ever had.

My sister recommended this place to me, so I’ve been here for a haircut a few times.
$ 17 haircut + $ 5 tip = $ 22 for a haircut
I was greeted and she asked me how I wanted my haircut, it was a simple 3 inches off. I have no complaints. I definitely recommend this place!

Unbeatable price and excellent style. $ 15 + tips for men’s hair cut, $ 17 + tips for women’s as of July 2014. You can park for free in Diamond parking of the same block during hair cut, but you gotta write your parking lot number and the time of entry/​exit on the small notebook in the salon.

Very disappointing. Yes, it is not expensive. But you get what you pay for — no hair wash, a haircut is done within 10 minutes. The lady does «cut your hair like cutting a paper». And, she is very impolite. She does not listen to you.
I went to this place because of the previous reviews that I saw. Well, I swear I will never come to this place again.

I’m generally not too picky about my hair, but this lady gave me the absolute WORST haircut of my entire LIFE. If only Unilocal allowed a 0 star rating. I’m wondering where all these positive reviews are coming from — are they even legitimate?
I seriously question whether she’s ever been trained as a hairstylist, or just opened this salon on a total whim. Every single stylist I’ve been to cuts with the tip of their scissors, piece by piece — she took those scissors to my hair like she was cutting a piece of paper, cutting straight across in a horizontal line when I asked for sectioned layers in the front to frame my face. I couldn’t believe it. This resulted in the most choppy, square-​shaped front layers you could possibly imagine. When I pointed this out, she attempted to «fix it» with a few extra short snips that did absolutely nothing, and I was so horrified by her complete inaptitude as a stylist that I was too afraid to have her try anything else.
The most laughable part of the experience was when, after cutting the layer closest to my chin on the right side of my face, she then moved to the left side, pointed to generally the same area, and asked «here?» I couldn’t believe it – did she not realize the layers on each side of my face should be symmetrical? Was it my own responsibility to line them up for her? Do people ask for layers that don’t match on each side?
The entire experience lasted less than 10 minutes, which gives you a pretty clear indication of how much she cares about how her clients actually look. That is — not much.
By the end I was literally fighting back tears. But being the passive person I am, I paid and left in shock. I went home and spent the next half hour carefully trying to fix what I could. It still looks pretty terrible, but thankfully hair grows back, and I’m not the type of girl to have a vanity meltdown. However, the time, money, and emotional distress you waste on a cut that you could have done yourself while blindfolded can never be returned.

Best hair cut in town. Nothing fancy. In and out in 15 minutes and I never leave disappointed.
There’s also a cute little dog who comes up to meet everyone. And did I mention free parking?

All I wanted was a trim to take off the splitends and thin out my hair so I was looking for a hair salon with decent skills and a good price. I came across this hair salon on Unilocal and thought I could give it a try. I was thoroughtly disappointed by my experience here. The trim part was great but thinning out part was frightening. She literally took those thinning out scissors from Daiso and cut once 2 inches from my scalp and once 6 inches from my scalp. There was no skill involved in this… When I feel my hair on the back of my head, I can feel the super short 2-​inch hair while the rest of my hair is almost to my stomach…
I paid 17 dollars for this haircut with 2 dollars tip and I would really rather pay a little more to at least have some skill involved.

It’s my 2^nd time getting a hair cut here and I really love it! I always brought photos of the haircuts that I like, but I don’t know if that really matters, she just does her thing and shape your hair to something that is flattering to your face. My hair was really long and thick, she finished my cut in like 15min and it’s layered really naturally and shortened to a good length. Also you can’t beat the price, my long hair cut was $ 17.

Quickest haircut ever!
If you want a super asian idol haircut, this is not the place for you. However, if you want something done fast for everyday, this place is the best ever! I swear the lady cut my hair in like 10 minutes. It’s best to make an appointment though. I usually like to stop by afte work.

Good hair cut — knows Korean guy hair. Guess what ethnicity I am.
Seriously, 10 years, cheapest hair cut I got that is quality. $ 15 in 20 minutes with shampoo. Can’t beat that.

4 stars for being fast, cheap, and a great hair cut.
–1 for no hair wash, décor.
Kim is great, I brought in a few pics of what I wanted and she went to work, 20 min later and I see a merge of two of the pics on my head. She knows asian hair, is obviously very experienced and confident.

Yes, it is true that Kim doesn’t wash ur hair before/​after the cut, or give u a head massage, or put fancy products on ur hair; but she knows Asian hair so well, and her craftsmanship is top-​notch. I told her what I wanted, showed her a picture online, and as she was eyeing my phone she already started cutting. She cuts really fast and confidently, and during the whole process I made one comment about my bangs, she fixed it, and voila! It turned out so good that I started regretting the $$$ I spent on my past haircuts. Oh and make sure u bring cash ($ 20 is enough). Next time gonna try a perm there for a chin-​dropping $ 40!

I love this place. I can’t imagine getting a haircut anywhere else! The really nice lady only charges $ 15 for a haircut. Sure, don’t expect a scalp massage, a relaxing spa-​like ambiance and an expensive Italian-​style espresso… but you can expect high-​quality cuts that make you feel like a rockstar when you walk out of the salon 15 minutes later. I’ve been here 3x now and yes, each time, she has been quick, careful, and attentive.
I would love to give this place another star for top-​notch customer service if I could. That’s right, Nordstrom-​like customer service. I came to this salon a couple months ago and told her I just wanted a new style, but wanted to keep the length. It was great and I was happy. A couple weeks later (after it was starting to get warm out), I came back and told her that I wanted to get my hair cut really short because I couldn’t stand the heat. She gave me a kick@ss haircut and refused to be paid for it, because she said she remembered me from two weeks ago. WOW!!! What more could you ask for?

I wanted to get all of my hair chopped off, but the only well rated salons around me either cost $ 50 for a cut or, in Queen’s case, $ 15. Obviously, I opted for the cheaper option and got my pixie cut there.
So I went in, showed the nice Korean lady a picture of what I wanted, and she went to work. I don’t think I sat in that chair for more than 30 minutes before she was done. Admittedly, after she had blow-​dried and styled it, my hair looked pretty much as described in the photo i showed her. After further inspection at home, it was kind of uneven, but what can you expect for a $ 15 haircut?
Overall, I’m pretty happy with the value I got for my money, although I think if you are very particular about your hair, you might want to go elsewhere and pay a little more.

I’ve been a regular at barbershops ever since I stopped letting my mom give me those endearing chili-​bowl haircuts. Every now and again, I’d hit up generic hair salon and pay $ 15 + tip for a crappy haircut from a stylist who didn’t cut «asian hair» frequently.
Kim gets it. She’s fast, careful and has a great sense. I can show up now and say, «clean me up!» and she fades up around my ears, shampoo and rinses — and gets back to business, carefully evening out anything she missed on the first go-​over.
I’ve gotten my past four or five haircuts here and left happy each time.

Only come here if you do not care about how your hair looks!
It’s definitely cheap, but you get what you pay for. I’m an Asian male looking to get an Asian style, so I came here reading the previous Unilocal reviews and thinking this Korean woman would be able give me a Korean-​esque cut. I ended up getting one of the worst styles in a very long time and had to end up cutting my own hair at home to fix it.
Albeit the lady was nice. She only accepts cash, so when I had to run to an ATM she let me come back to the salon on my word alone. So with that, I commend her personality. But that does not make up for the lack of care and skill when it came to cutting my hair. She sat me down and didn’t even wash my hair. She cut it for 5 minutes sloppily and without a consultation. And it seemed like she danced to the bea tof her own drum.
I will never, ever return — not for a cut, not for a trim, not to even drop off a newspaper. It was so embarrassing walking out of there looking the way I did.
