Salon 206

The owner is incredibly friendly and professional. I have had the Chi straightening treatment done here several times now and I’m always very happy with how well it works on my stubborn hair. The price is also more than fair which is why I gladly drive from Snohomish County to get my hair done here. I highly recommend them!

I’ve been back since my last review since they did a great job last time. This time I was planning for a quite drastic change as I picked out a rose gold color for my hair to be dyed with the bayalage ombré style. Unfortunately it took about 2 – 3 tries to even get a color close to what I wanted originally. In the end, the color applied to my hair wasn’t even the one I wanted. It was a more lavendar/​pastel purple color than it was a rose gold. And even though I asked for a bayalage, my hair appears to have highlights instead of the ombré I intended to get. Having only paid $ 90 for it I should have seen it coming. Maybe I’m not too familiar with color dyes having only dyed my hair 3 times, but after two washes (two weeks later) the color is pretty much completely gone. It still blends well because it’s transitioned to a lighter shade of the color I had before. But, I would have appreciated more info on how long the color would last and maintenance tips before she went ahead and started applying color without a heads up.
I’m still a lover of this salon and the people who work here. But I would suggest getting a whole head dye and a «textbook» color if that makes sense. They seem to do better with colors that are pretty well-​known rather that your custom concoctions. The price is definitely unbeatable!

The service was subpar and my hair looks significantly shorter even though I asked for the length to be kept. I don’t think I’ll come here again.

My husband often got the same person at this salon for his hair cut. Yesterday, she was busy and I was in hurry, so I let the new one did it.
When that lady took the scissor, I was almost crying when the first cut was done. I just want to jump out of the chair. I tried to tell myself maybe it could be her style, but it was not. Also when I told her what style of hair cut I want, she did not understand either until I gave her the picture of it.
DID SHE BOUGHT THE LICENSE OR HOURS ???
I will not be back
The reason I give 2 stars coz I forgot to call to make the appointment with Lan.

The best kept secret in Seattle hair. This little salon has the best stylist Lan who will give you that bombshell look you have always wanted ladies. The salon does not have all the bells and whistles of luxury that flows out of downtown salons. However, your hair will look luxurious after a cut from Lan. I have been here a handful of times and every time I am so excited after my haircut. She is highly sought so book in advance and often! I have very straight black hair (thick and full) to deal with and she is great at making it light and highly professional. I love my haircut!

I did a root touch up and tone my brassy blonde hair to natural lightest blonde. I love the result Thank you Lan!

My coworkers got their hair done here so I wanted to try it out as well. Came in for a hair cut and color. I didn’t get the names of who did my hair but it was an older woman and a man. Showed them a picture of what I wanted (burgundy color) and wanted two inches off with layers. They told me that since my hair is naturally black, they would have to bleach it. I’ve been to many different salons and I’ve done my own hair before and have never had to bleach my hair because it takes in color pretty well even though it’s naturally dark. But I trusted them and let them do it. They said it would be $ 120 for color and $ 65 for each time they have to bleach. They said it would probably only take once though. It was already really pricey but again, I trusted them. In the end, I turned out really liking the color. But once they were done, they asked to curl my hair and I politely said «no thanks». After being in there for 5 hours, I just wanted to get my cut and leave. But they insisted they take a picture of it styled so I just let them. She started curling my hair before my cut and I was confused. Then once she was finished she said, «oh, I forgot your haircut!» And insisted I just come back tomorrow… I was pretty irritated. When I went to pay, the total came up to be way more than I expected. Turns out they bleached my hair twice but for one, it didn’t even look like they were bleaching it a second time, and two, they didn’t let me know they were going to or even ask. It’s been almost two months now and my hair was fading to a brighter red which I didn’t mind. But recently I’ve realized some parts of my hair have turned gray/​green. This has never happened to me and I’ve been dying my hair red for the past 4 years. I’m left pretty disappointed now.
Summary:
Friendly staff. But wish they’d communicate more about what they were doing with my hair.
Honestly think it’s way overpriced for what you get.
I really loved my haircut though!
UPDATE: My hair has turned blue, green, and gray in different parts of my head. I don’t see how this could happen but I’m super upset about it.

I just tried this place for the first time. Good pedicure – nothing to rave about, but it did the trick. Manicure was a bit off – polish all around my nails, but it’s just my clear polish, so no big deal. They did do a good job of cleaning up my nails and cuticles, which was sorely needed.
Decent service for the price. Comfortable surroundings. Friendly staff. I’ll be back to try them again!

My first time to get a haircut here. Lena cut my hair. She did a great job, did exactly what I wanted done! This place is inexpensive. $ 20 for a hair cut! She was fast and I got in right of way, didn’t have to wait for an appointment! Perms start at $ 50, but it is suggested to make an appointment for that. Ill come back for another haircut and maybe a perm!

AHHH salon 206 is awesome!
My friend found this place through Unilocal,and we were just looking for a basic asian salon, none of that $ 70 haircut kind of deal, to help with our overgrown locks. This place satisfied it all! We were looking for somewhere that was reasonable, and could give us what we wanted. We called ahead to make an appointment for 3 girls, and arrived in a seeminly random and not that extravagant little plaza.
Upon entering, boy was it busy! They attended to us right away though, so having an appointment definitely is something to do! I asked for an A-​line cut, and my friends had their own specifications, and NONE OF US LEFT DISSAPOINTED. The stylists were all very awesome! The cuts were quite detailed but at the same time efficient. Our cuts were exactly how we wanted, and we didnt have to wait ages on the chair for it to happen. The stylists are very experienced and know exactly how to accommodate our image. The total for each haircut was 20 – 25 $, which i think is pretty darn reasonable for the amount of service they provide.
They are also very friendly and not catty at all. Very professional and they know their stuff. It is definitely worth the trek to come back!

Decided to check them out after the amazing reviews on Unilocal,and they are exactly what I expected if not better. My boyfriend had his hair cut and I dyed my hair. Ben took care of both of us. My boyfriend LOVES his new haircut. He has never been fully satisfied with other salons, but he said here it’s worth that extra 5 $. As for myself, I had my roots touched up. Ben didn’t match the color of my ends exactly the first time, so we had to dye it again. He was extremely patient with both of us, making sure we will be happy when we walk out the door. The service is great and I don’t think I’ll get my hair done anywhere else from now on.

I’ve been looking for a new place to color my hair after my hairdresser is no long available. A friend of mine recently got her hair colored here and it turn out great, so I gave salon 206 a try.
Lan and her staffs are very welcoming when I first arrive. When I told Lan what I wanted, which is dying my hair pink, she knows exactly what I was talking about and went for it.
I was there for 3 hours long and she made me feel comfortable and talks me through the whole process. And as for the result, my hair turn out the way I wanted! I LOVE it so much and I’m so glad that I came here to get my hair done by Lan and her staffs!
I do recommend to anyone who wants to get their hair looking like cotton candy! :)

I went in about a month ago to colored my hair to lavender. At this point my hair has turns out such a beautiful purple or lavender as I wanted the color to turn out. Even though my hair is pretty dry after all the bleaching which I totally understand. But I’m totally happy with the color. Lan did a great job! Thank you so much!

Love it here!
I’ve been getting my hair cut here since 2008 and see Lan (owner) every time. My old roommate and (current) friend referred me to Lan and she’s great! She always knows what to do with my hair and she knows that I’m lazy to really style my hair, so she’s always honest about whether she feels certain hairstyles will work out for me.
It’s also very affordable. Cost will depend on your hair length, but I have never paid more than $ 20.
I don’t dye my hair, so can’t really give any reviews on that. I did get highlights once which turned out great and I believe it was about $ 65 total with my haircut.
I still go there even though I no longer live in Beacon Hill; totally worth it!

Got my hair cut here about 6 months ago. It was so good that I’m leaving a review now. I was very satisfied with the results. The lady was quick and professional. I was getting a short mushroom type style from my original long straight hair. Would come here again. Price is very resonable as well.

This is more of a heads up to Lan who I think should know about the inadequate service some of her employees provide. I initially loved this place (the ability to walk in at any time, very decent prices, quality of work).
In fact at one point I was going there weekly for a wash and blow out. Then the last time I went a different person than usual did my hair and basically berated me about how my hair is curly and if I still wanted the service then it would cost $ 35 rather than the usual $ 18 I had paid the 4 times before. She made me feel like I was steeling or something. Very degrading and disrespectful. I will NOT be coming back. I just wished I hadn’t told so many others about how great I thought this place was before my last experience.

I was looking for a local place to get a cut and get some color touched up. Based on Unilocal reviews, I tried Salon 206. When I called, the lady was friendly and scheduled me for an appointment at the time and on the day that I wanted. I’d driven by many times on my way to QFC so I knew where to go.
When I got there, I was happy to see a bright, clean salon full of friendly staff and happy customers who all seemed to be regulars. My wait time was short and the stylist was friendly. She really looked at the picture of what I wanted done and kept referencing it. The cut was wonderful and I will definitely go back for that. I have very fine hair and I like good layering for body and texture and my cut gives me that with minimal prep time in the morning.
The color was good but my complaint is that she didn’t get it close enough to the roots so after two weeks it looked like I had 6 – 8 weeks worth of grow out. If I get color done again, I will be sure to tell her to get closer to the roots. Other than that, she put some gorgeous, buttery blonde highlights in my dark brown hair that blended beautifully and didn’t look like trailer park trashy.
Last but not least, the price was right. $ 70 for a cut and partial foil was reasonable for what I got. A salon doesn’t have to charge an arm and a leg. Too many people believe that the higher the cost, the better the service, buy at the expensive places, you’re paying for atmosphere, not quality work.

I felt an update was needed, since on my last visit, I thought my nails weren’t painted all the way to the base edge (shellac). Clearly the gal knew what she was doing, my nails were perfect after I got home and they had the chance to fully set. I really liked my nails, and felt they were done well, almost as perfect as my old spot in Ballard. Trust me, I’ve had plenty of bad nail experiences, this was pretty darn near perfect.
Great job on hair color, blow outs and flat ironing. Haven’t had my hair cut yet, but I plan on trying it out. Nice staff, and convenient parking. Incredible prices.

Well, my guy gets his hair cut here very well by the same woman and it’s under $ 20 including a generous tip so that’s a HUGE win.
I’ve been for mani/​pedi with the little one a few times now and they’re super nice and friendly to her especially, they have shellac and lots of great colors, pedi is $ 25 on it’s own so not cheapest in town but not bad, and the chairs are great.
Overall, solid 4 star experiences all around!

Awesome results!
Totally love my hair and get compliments on it a lot! People are always asking where I got it done and I’m always happy to refer them here
I have gotten my hair cut here for a couple years now and recently got my hair dyed for the first time with Lan. She is so nice and very friendly and accommodating to your desires. She and other stylists here are also very helpful in offering their own suggestions and with their experience, their advice is very valued!
I’m definitely going to be coming here for years to come
Also, the price is great! Got ombré, layered hair cut and dye for $ 120 total, much less than most other places!
