The Forsythe Studio

My experiences at Forsythe Studio have been fantastic. Dezarae always does a fantastic job on my blonde highlights and cutting my fine, straight hair. I am never disappointed! The atmosphere is also very welcoming.

My first experience with the Forsythe studio was when my best friend was getting married. She had two of the stylist’s do her hair and the bridesmaids hair. I was so impressed that i wanted to have them do my hair for my wedding a year later! Dez and Jennifer did the hair for me and my bridesmaids and it was a wonderful experience. Recently, i decided to change salons and get a cut and am ombré color done with Dez and i was so happy! I am glad to call The Forsythe studio my salon :)

Laurie is the BEST! Not only do I always look amazing when I leave the salon I feel like the time I spend there is more like catching up with an old friend than just getting my hair done. I trust her completely and even when she has ideas that are different from mine, I let her work her magic and she never disappoints.
Also, being there on a Saturday feels like you have stepped into a true piece of West Seattle. People are always coming and going with dogs and kids. There are friends and neighbors hugging all over the place and lots of laughter. You can’t go wrong with the Forsythe Studio!

When we lived in West Seattle, this was the place we got our hair cut. I saw Lauri, and she was a gem. I’ve never had someone spend over 30 minutes on my hair, and usually most people did a quick cut, and my fine hair was dry by the time the cut was over. This was not true with Lauri. Lauri really took her time, and you could tell she was focusing on the perfect cut. My hair was well shaped and had more body than ever! Now that we’ve moved away, the trek over the bridge is a bit much. Consider yourselves lucky West Seattleites!

I had a wonderful experience at Forsythe Studio! I have been shopping around for someone who was up for the challenge of doing blonde highlights for my wedding. And let’s just say Dezarae at Forsythe Studio is the queen of blonde! She spent over 2.5 hours with me and totally nailed it. I will absolutely be going back to Dezarae, likely for my honeymoon blonde highlights hehe, and highly recommend her for others!

This is the 3^rd salon a tries after moving to the west Seattle area. I had 5 inches cut off when I just wanted a trim at one place. Then, tried color at another place and didn’t get even close to the results I wanted and charged a lot for it.
Then I met Laurie at Forsythe! She knows her stuff and is very talented. She was confident and checked with me each step of the way. I got the layers and bangs I wanted without losing the length of my hair. She also did amazing with my color! So so so happy! Forsythe has their act together, thank you! Can’t wait to go back and try out more colors.

I first went to Forsythe, after wanting to switch from the salon I’d been going to, about 6 months ago. I called the salon and the front desk person took time to listen to what I was looking for and matched me up with Jennifer, and I could not be more happy! She is so nice and welcoming first of all, which is really important to me. Also she has great vision of how my hair looks best. She does an outstanding job, and I always end up happy and get complimented on my style. I’ve recommended friends to the salon and highly recommend Jennifer! She rocks! Everyone is super nice there.

I needed to get a cut before going on a trip and I got in with Dez. She did an amazing job and gave me the exact hair cut I was looking for! I am trying to grow my hair out longer and really didn’t want to lose any of the length. She gave my hair great shape and was wonderful to talk with during the appointment. I can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been going to Forsythe since I moved to West Seattle a few years ago — I picked it on a whim and because it was within walking distance of my apartment at the time — and I’m very satisfied with it. Stephanie always cuts my hair and always does a great job. I’m not super picky about my hair and honestly I don’t have any innovative ideas on how I should cut or style it; Stephanie seems to understand that and just cuts it for me, no-​nonsense! It always looks great afterwards and I enjoy chatting with Stephanie while I’m there. I’ll keep seeing her as long as I can.

Jen did a great job on my hair, it looks good and is easy. I just shampoo, towel dry, and brush my hair, done.

Adel is amazing! She cuts and colors hair fabulously and she’s also very funny and outgoing. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends :)

Jessica and her crew have been cutting my hair for the past 26 years. Very professional, warm and friendly. They even fixed my daughter’s college coloring experiment!

Got an appointment for a free consult with Laurie. Greeted by a few girls, offered free coffee and the place is completly decorated for Halloween :) Love it already!

Went to Forsythe Studio recently and had a fantastic experience. I walked in and immediately liked the vibe of the salon. My appointment was with Adel, and I LOVED HER! She was warm, friendly without being annoyingly chatty, and did a beautiful job on my hair. Highly recommended.

I made an appointment based on the strong Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed.
I saw Laurie and told her my story. First haircut in a year+, that I have been suffering from haircut phobia for quite some time, and just wanted a really solid haircut that was low maintenance, did not require hair product, and would get me through social and business life barely having to give a second thought to my head of hair.
The result? A warm and friendly chat and cut from Laurie. She is very empathetic and did a fantastic job with the hair too. I don’t see how anyone could possibly go wrong by heading to Forsythe.
It’s less expensive than a lot of upscale hair places, but of course more than worth the difference between anything a little less expensive. This is a 5-​star place no matter how you spin it.

I recently moved to West Seattle and after going to the same hairdresser since I was born it was time to find another. I read other reviews on Unilocal and decided to give The Forsythe Studio a try!
I got an appointment with Stephanie and she couldn’t have done any better! Keep in mind I have had long hair my whole life and decided to try something new and had Stephanie cut and color my hair. Well I was in shock at having it cut short and I’m sure Stephanie was worried when I left the salon but after I got used to it I couldn’t be happier. Is is by far the BEST cut I have ever had and the coloring and highlights she did were amazing. She has a loyal customer for as long as I stay in West Seattle. AMAZING!!!

After 5 star reviews on Unilocal for every stylist in this studio I figured it was a good bet. I had no idea how right you all were!
I have had some horrific hair experiences in my life but, for the first time, an especially traumatic experience at another salon left me afraid to try another stylist. After almost a year, and a couple of fix-​it trims from trustworthy friends, I had finally decided it was time.
Expecting to have to wait a few weeks to get in, I called Forsythe this morning and was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment with Laurie at noon. When I got there, the receptionist was very friendly and offered me something to drink, even though she was very busy trying to book other clients on the phone. Right from the start, Laurie was super friendly and made me feel right at home. Her ideas and input when we discussed what I was looking for assured me my hair was in the right hands. She didn’t even bat an eyelash at my dry, frizzy, split-​endy, limp, shapeless hair… even when she had to comb out all the tangles after conditioning it! She layered it conservatively at first (more to put me at ease with getting my hair cut again than anything, I think), then when I gave her the go-​ahead to cut in some more, she cut it to perfection! The shape is perfect for my facial structure, the layers are perfect, it bounces, it’s shiny, my hair’s got it’s mojo BACK! What can I say, my boyfriend noticed the second he saw me… his face lit up and he asked if I’d just brushed my hair. I guess that’s dudespeak for «nice haircut».
What a wonderful experience! I’ve already got my next appointment booked and will definitely be telling my friends about this great salon. Everything and everyone about this place it great, you won’t regret trying it! :)

I visited Forsythe Studio for a haircut due to it’s proximity to home and online reviews. The salon is cozy, well organized, and clean. My stylist was Laurie, whose upbeat, friendly personality put me right at ease.
My last haircut (at a different salon) left much to be desired. Laurie’s questions were thoughtful and thorough. I really appreciated the collaborative method that she employed. It felt like we created the haircut together and I couldn’t be happier!

I moved up to Seattle from Portland and had such a hard time finding a good hair person that I would just wait and get it done every time I visited Portland. That got really inconvenient and after moving over to West Seattle I spotted Forsythe and decided to give it a try. I LOVE the salon, all of the women there are not only funny and kind, they are very talented. I see Dezarae and she always does a fantastic job! It’s really nice to have a local salon that is so wonderful and now if I moved somewhere else, I’d probably travel back to Seattle to get my hair done!

Saw the great reviews for the Forsythe Studio here on Unilocal,and thought I’d check it out. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my stylist Stephanie, the great atmosphere, client services, great pricing, and easy accessibility. 100% worth checking out– you will not be disappointed.
