Shine In The Market

Oscar has been cutting my hair for a few years now. He’s spoiled me!

This review is for Oscar who is the BEST. I went through a lot of stylists at some of Seattle’s top salons until I finally found Oscar. He’s been cutting my hair for 1.5 years now and always leaves me feeling pretty. He is sweet and down-​to-​earth, meticulous in his work, and is just a supremely talented stylist and wonderful person.

Owner Emily is beautiful and lovely. Easy first appointment. Happy with entire appointment. Anxious to return. 4.5!

I was really sad to see my good friend and also hairstylist of 7 years move to Hawaii but he referred me to a guy here that went to the same hair academy as he did and had very similar technique and coloring skills as he did. The salon’s location is not the best and one of the biggest negatives in my experience. Located in the Pike Place Market, along an alley, trying to find parking was such a hassle especially on the weekends which is the only time I could make my appointment since they are only open from 10 am — 6 pm Tuesday thru Saturday and I work on the Eastside till 5:30 pm M-​F. I had to pay for 2.5 hrs of parking which is ridiculously expensive and should have deducted that from the tip.
The salon itself is not very big. Their waiting area was tiny and the noise level in there got really loud to the point my stylist and I were shouting just so we could hear each other. My stylist did a great job with the color but just alright with the cut. The cost of his services were expensive and add the parking it really was not worth going back. Good thing I found a different salon with much more reasonable prices and still good services.

I’ve had my hair cut by Juan and he is amazing. I mean he really knows what he is doing.
I bought a Groupon when I badly needed a hair cut. Juan did what he needed to do-​my hair was so damaged. And he gave me bangs! I haven’t had bangs since middle school (I think we all, sadly, remember what a bad idea those long bangs were.) I loved the bangs and kept coming back for bang trims.
The hair cuts are expensive, but you can come back in between cuts for complimentary bang trims.
I also never had trouble booking an appointment.
Give yourself a few extra minutes the first time you visit-it’s a little tricky finding Shine.

I had the pleasure of getting my haircut yesterday at Sine In The Market. It is in a great location in the heart of downtown Seattle near the market. It is tucked away from the street and all the hustle and bustle of the market. The salon itself is relatively small but is nicely decorated and inviting. I have met the owner Emily and Molly the receptionist and they both are incredibly nice.
I had my hair cut by Doria. I decided back in May to cut my hair off into a pixie cut. I have been every so slowly growing gt out since then. My hair recently hit a very awkward point of growing out. It didn’t matter what I did it just didn’t look good. Doria did a fantastic job cleaning my hair up. She was very sensitive to the fact that I wanted to, if possible, leave as much length as possible but still wanted to look good. She listened to what I wanted and made some spot on suggestions on how my hair could look better if she was to cut my hair slightly different then what wanted. My hair looks amazing now. What is so phenomenal is my hair doesn’t look any shorter, but looks nice and styled, instead of a mess.
I would strongly suggest that anyone looking for a salon in Downtown Seattle to check out Shine In The Market. Doria is wonderful but based on what I saw while there, any of there other stylists would be a great choice.

DORIA IS AMAZING !
GREAT colorist and stylist !
I love this salon. Cool vibe, very nice staff.
After two years of searching I found my salon.
I have gray hair and Doria gave me the perfect amount of coverage and highlights.
She totaly «gets it» and has great taste and knows what she is doing.
She is an all around cool chic.
Great location. Run dont walk to Shine if you are searching for a salon.

Love this boutique salon! It is always clean, the service is prompt and professional, and I love the vibe! Yes, they aren’t supercuts — don’t expect to pay under $ 50. But feeling and looking amazing is worth it. And if you get it done right, you don’t have to mess around with going somewhere else and as often. This is exactly why I go to Shine at the Market. They truly provide a service that is worth every dime.
My stylist is Heidi Molina, who also came from Mode Organic Salon. She uses all organic products, blends colors to suit you, and has a great eye for subtle yet drastically improving cuts. My hair is looks and feels healthier ever since I started going to her — like the girls in shampoo commericals, I walk out of the salon with my shades on, strolling thru the city with the wind blowing my perfect tresses! And not that having a stylist that understand me & my style and provides me with great hair isn’t enough, her schedule is SO accomodating — she works on saturdays!
I will also be using Heidi exclusively as my stylist for myself, my BM’s, and mom’s for my wedding. She ever so graciously even took the day off to accomodate me, even when I told her we’d all come to the salon. Expect another phenomenal review/​update after my wedding… I know she’ll provide me with impeccable service, friendly professionalism, and a beautiful style. And she’s simply adorable!

I have followed Chelsea Duke from Mode Organic Salon, I have trusted her with my hair for almost 3 years now. About 1.5 years ago, I decided that I was tired of driving from Bothell to Seattle to get a cut, so I began experimenting with other stylist, only to get my hair butchered! Needless to say, I went running back to Chelsea, and I now happily make that drive for a great haircut, that grows out fabulously. She’s a fun person to chat with, she stays current on new techniques, she uses organic products, and I look forward to seeing her every time. Go see Chelsea, you won’t regret it!

We have gone to Chelsea since arriving in Seattle from Los Angeles. Chelsea was formerly at Mode Organic for many years, which is where we first met her until her move to Shine at Inn in the Market. Chelsea Kane is absolutely brilliant with the cut, male or female. Each visit, she takes the time to figure out and even talk out what your needing in your cut. I have been to top LA salons, and Chelsea is just as fantastic and capable. She also does wonderful color and highlights and I would venture to say perhaps better than anyone else in Seattle only because I haven’t seen very many notable highlight jobs since moving to Downtown Seattle over a year ago. Anyway, we (husband and self) enjoy our 1 – 2 hours in the chair with Chelsea and we find her rates to be fair. We highly recommend!

Chelsea Duke IS as good as it gets! I am a new client of Shine, but a dedicated follower of Miss Chelsea (formerly at Mode Organic Salon). When it comes to true talent, incomparable skill, and just a damn good time, Chelsea is simply the best. I will never have my hair cut by anyone else! EVER. Chelsea takes the time to understand what I want (a la Kim Kardashian locks), talks me out of my terrible ideas (fringy bangs), and ALWAYS executes the perfect cut and color (Ta-​DA, Kim Kardashian!). She only uses professional, organic color and products on my dome, keeping my sensitive skins and precious hairs beautiful AND healthy. Stop searching, just go… to Chelsea Duke… at Shine in the Market. She is a 5 star kind of gal. Your hair will never look better! Seriously.

Emily Aylward is the best stylist ever. I would follow her anywhere, but thankfully she is at this very nice laid-​back salon that gives us an excuse to make a day of it at the market. classy place and not uppity at all.

The salon is comfortable, stylish and clean.
Everyone I’ve worked with here is terrific.
Especially Robert and Emily. They give a cut that starts out wonderful and keep getting better as it grows out. A month after a visit friends will ask me if I just had a cut.
Emily styled my hair for my wedding and I loved it.
It was fabulous, felt natural, looked great and lasted all day and night. And not only was the style perfect, but she was so warm and calming. I can’t imagine the day without her.
(And by the way, congratulations Emily, on your mention in Seattle Bride Magazine! – pg. 51)

How is it possible that every time I get my haircut by Emily (Aylward) it’s the best haircut I’ve had? She outdoes herself each time. Sometimes I even come in with unrealistic requests like — make it so my hair always looks perfect, but I never have to do anything to it — and she figures out how to translate them into an incredible haircut.
Here’s another way I know it’s a great cut — so many people ask me who cuts my hair that I started carrying her business card with me.
Also, where she’s cutting now — Shine at the Market — has a lovely, cozy, snazzy ambiance.

I have two words for you: gummi bears. Shine has mini Haribo gummi bars at the front desk! Okay, before you skip to the next review, I’m not basing my five star rating on their yummy candy treats; I’m just saying it definitely helps.
The real reason I’m giving a woohoo! as good as it gets! review is because Emily Alyward has consistently given me great haircuts every few months for the last ten years. Over the years she’s perfectly highlighted, tinted and chopped my locks. I will never stray from her precise cut of my Betty Page bangs.
Outside of the amazing Miss Emily, the rest of the staff has always been very cool and accommodating to me. The space may be a little tucked away but it’s great for those who work downtown and, fresh off my awesome haircut high, I love shopping for flowers at the Market.

I love this place. The location is great. I’m in Seattle every 5 weeks so I come here. Great service.

This is the first salon that I have been to in Seattle where I was COMPLETELY satisfied with my experience. It’s clean, hip but not pretentious. Doria was my stylist and she was amazing. She listened AND offered her advice. I felt comfortable telling her what I wanted and she did EXACTLY what i wanted.
Thank you Doria!!!

I love seeing my longtime hair guru Juan at his new spot, Shine in the Market.
The space is clean, comfortable and in a fabulous location close to downtown and in the heart of Pike Place Market.
But the best thing about Shine, or anywhere he chooses to work, is, of course, Juan. No one else has touched my hair in 10 years. Juan knows hair, understands color and style, and truly wants to make your style work for you, your face shape, your coloring. His work is impeccable, and always creative. And he is a delight to chat with while your hair is transformed.

I am new to shine, because my styles Juan moved salons. My first impressions the salon is clean, postive place, hard to find the first time.
Once you find it. (next to the inn at the market) you will remember, plus you get the bonus of market vibe and shopping.
If you decide to try the salon, make an appointment with Juan he does magic with hair and is color specialist.

I’ve been to Shine twice but I’ve been following my hairstylist, Devan (White), for 5 years. This is where she’s currently at and I’ve found this locale to be pretty positive.
Each stylist here rents a chair where their individual hair technique is allowed to «shine.» (Yes, bad pun…) Think at last count there was ⁸⁄₉ chairs and Devan told me there’s 2 male stylists and the rest are female.
Location is slightly hard to find but once you know to walk into the courtyward of where Campagne is, not too hard to remember. Inside is clean and has a natural product smell/​fragrance?! Healthy, not like chemically chain type. Groovy music is played (was there this past Saturday AM with Hall & Oates /​MJ on the speakers)
Services are pricey but well worth the treat for self-​indulgence. (Try it and tell me what you think.) Usually by appointment but they do take walk-​ins if there is availability.
