Zero Zero

atomicrocketpoplab highly recommends this Capital Hill salon. Andy was very personable. I left very satisfied and will definitely be back.

I am OBSESSED with my purple bayalage done by Cordelia!!! The color looks perfect and she listened to what I wanted exactly and went beyond my best imagination. I would definitely trust Cordelia for anything I wanted done with my hair.

Amara is amazing! I hate boring hair and that’s why I came to her. She likes to try new things!

I came here for a total hair transformation. I had long, curly hair and had been wanting a short, layered bob with balayage. I was referred to see Anita by a good friend and it was well worth it! She asked well in advance for photos of the style I wanted, showed me her own work, and also let me know that she would love to bleach my hair but was not willing to jeopardize it’s integrity. She also asked my hair history. You can tell how passionate she is about her craft and it really shows in the value of her work. She also talked me through the big chop and made sure I was comfortable with the length. The color ended up matching perfectly and the cut was fabulous! I love my new hair and it’s all thanks to Anita– make sure to give her a visit!

Bo made me love my hair again. After months of growing it out and getting awkward haircuts here and there around the city, Bo gave me a haircut that I love! I’ve been looking around Seattle for a hairstylist to remain faithful to for the last six years… and alas– It’s going to be Bo.

Zero zero amazing customer service strikes again! Not. Imagine a cold windy Saturday morning where you drag yourself out of bed at 8:15am for a 9:00am appointment, right when zero zero opens (this is important). I arrive around 8:50 pay for parking and find the gate is still locked and no one is inside. That’s okay, I’m a little early. Guess I’ll fiddle around with my phone a little. 9:00 rolls around and no one is here, hmph, might be running a few minutes late that’s fine. What’s not fine is waiting until 9:22am before the receptionist shows up. Twenty two minutes late? That’s pretty extraordinary. What’s even more extraordinary is that the receptionist told me that my hairstylist was actually out of town.
See what happened was actually my girlfriend made the reservation for me. We have been coming to this salon for years and have introduced many friends to the wonderful stylists here. The receptionist told me they left several messages alerting us of the canceled appointment. Magically they somehow had the wrong contact information for my girlfriend (typed in the phone number in the wrong order). This is especially perplexing because zero zero has contacted us before using that account and number to inform us of canceled appointments. So somehow they either decided to edit the phone number themselves or they changed systems and copied the number wrong.
The receptionist then had the gall to lecture me about not making a reservation myself. Yes, girl with the lavender hair, YOU. Really? Not an apology for the misfortunate series of events, the messed up contact information, or being late and making me wait in the cold for 22 minutes? What she doesn’t know is yes, I have tried making my own reservations in the past, but out of four appointments three were booked on the wrong day, or double booked, and had the wrong contact information to boot so they couldn’t contact me. This issue seemed to subside when my girlfriend booked my appointments for me, but I guess good things don’t last.
This is to the owner Todd. I really do love the amazing work your stylists are able to perform. It’s why I keep coming back month after month despite the numerous screw ups. Seriously though, the way I was treated this time around is simply inexcusable. I am an understanding person. I understand at that point today there was nothing that could have been done. However, I really can’t imagine that after being stuck in the cold for 22 minutes due to a late receptionist, that she had the nerve to give me a lecture and not even apologize in the slightest. I really would like it if you could follow up with me on this series of events. Thanks for reading.

We found ZZH because of a hair emergency on a Saturday, and Kylie was the most knowledgeable stylist in Seattle on the subject. Kylie has been cutting my family’s hair ever since that fateful day. She is brilliant! Regardless of what you are looking for — from trims to extensive hair coloring — she is incredible. I highly recommend ZZH and their fantastic staff.

Elizabeth is nothing short of a hair genius!!! From «fashion» to «natural» colors, she’s the best. Oh and she can cut hair like a mo-​fo! I have naturally straight blondish/​brown hair that I get really picky with. I got this crazy idea to dye it purple and luckily, the divine goddesses of Unilocal guided me to Elizabeth! She worked with me on getting just the right shades and painted up a masterpiece. Then when I was ready to return to a natural color, bam!, she nailed that too. Her balayage technique is *top* notch. She gives beautiful cuts on straight hair. Oh, and an up-​do? Um, of course she does those perfectly too! Elizabeth is not only an amazing hair pro, but she’s a beautiful and rad person to hang with while you’re getting your hairs done. ***Zero Zero is awesome but I’m so glad I can find Elizabeth over at Casuals on E Cherry now!!***

Made a color/​cut appt with Kylie bc she was successfully able to get my friend’s hair (see Christine’s review) successfully to platinum/​silver from dark asian hair.
My hair: thick dark asian hair that was unsuccessfully bleached twice 6 months ago as a DIY project (couldn’t lift it past orange in some parts), toned a coupled times, then gave up and covered with dark brown dye. That was such a disaster that I decided to try it again with a professional. Same goal: gray balayage.
Kylie started right off the bat by saying my hair was too warm to get it to a cool gray. So I lowered my expectations. I was prepared to take as far as it could go and possibly get there in a step wise fashion. 6 cups of bleach and an entire head of foil later, I was BLONDE! She toned and then dyed it gray with SUCCESS! The whole process including a trim/​thinning was 6 hours. So it’s quite a bit of time but I’m glad we got it done in one session. I’m extremely happy with the results. This isn’t a process that’s ideal for someone with thinner hair. My hair has gone through a lot and there were some damage but with trims and regular deep conditioning, I’ll be okay. Definitely going back to Kylie.

Got my hair cut and colored here last week. I love it! I feel anew…
I forget the name of the girl I saw but she’s the cute petite lady with long blonde hair. Friendly and easy to talk to.
I naturally have thick black Asian hair. I went to a lighter auburn/​brown color — maybe a tad lighter than that at the roots. I had somewhat long hair before — stopped at about upper-​mid back. I cut it to just above my shoulders. Quite a difference. I love it. My boyfriend loves it. Even my mom loves it! :P
I was really nervous about getting my hair colored. I hadn’t done so in over 10 years! But they did a great job here!
The price is a bit steep. I’m sure that I can get a much cheaper color + cut if I drive all the way up to Lynnwood or Federal Way. But that’s inconvenient for me. And besides, Zero Zero has proven to be reputable! And apparently, the colors they use are gentle but effective so you don’t harm your roots or damage your scalp. A+!
Would love to come back next time I’m in the market to get a cut + color. *Adds some change to the piggy bank to save-​up*

Curly hair genius Liz (Elizabeth) will take all your misunderstood frizz tears away. My heart of hearts belongs to this woman who has cut my hair and made ME, the-​self-​hating-​curly-​haired-​only-​wear-​it-​in-​a-​ponytail-​or-​bun-​and-​cry-​over-​it-​daily-​girl, love and appreciate my hair for what it is: a gift! Everytime I consider trying on a straight hair style, Liz saves my hair into great glory and reminds me why I should never shun the locks I’ve got! Zero hero! Three years later, I still love this place!

I have been going to Zero Zero to get my hair done for the last 4+ years. The place has a open and chill ambiance. The stylists here are friendly, relaxed and casual. Props to my stylist Elizabeth as she makes the experience of getting your hair cut fun and something to look forward to. What I like is that at the end of it all I walk out of the place looking great and with absolutely the hairdo I was in the mood for. Getting you hair cut is not a chore here instead you get pampered and have a relaxing chill time with the added benefit of having you hair rocking.

I called up here at the last minute and the receptionist was very kind on the phone and on my way out. (I am assuming he was the receptionist because he answered the phone and cashed me out when I left)
I am afraid of the salon like kids are afraid of the dentist. I almost hate doing it. I have seriously thick, coarse, curly hair and I always had it straightened because I’ve never had someone who was capable of styling my hair…
David was kind enough to squeeze me in right before closing a few nights ago. You know how you get your haircut and the excitement wears off after a few days when you notice little things out of place? Yeah, I still haven’t felt that yet… David was so detailed. He listened very carefully to what I asked for. He asked me about my hairstory (hair-​history, get it? ha-​ha) and made thoughtful suggestions. He gave me everything I could have wanted out of my experience, a versatile do that is low maintenance but absolutely adorable. David was very gentle with the shampooing, genuine, and never awkward in conversation. Trust this man, he knows what he’s doing! I have never loved my natural curls before and I seriously have never had more compliments on my hair. Thanks to David for showing me how to bring out the beauty in my curls, I look forward to my next appointment!

Still going strong with this salon. I love Elizabeth and I have been coming to her for over a year now. I also want to give a shout out to Cordelia. My sister was visiting from California and needed a hair cut and wanted some color. Not only did they take us with no appointment but Cordelia did an awesome job on my sister’s hair. Love this place!

This review is way overdue. I’ve been going to Andy at Zero Zero for a couple of years now. I first came in after a truly disastrous cut elsewhere. Andy fixed me up, agreed with my shock at the awfulness of the previous cut, and has been my go-​to hair guy ever since. I can usually get in to see him within a reasonable time frame, the salon is clean and comfy, and I’ve never had a bad cut. Highly recommend!

Wonderful ombré color by Kylie. At this point, my hair was done a month or two ago. LOVE it. I wanted to go a lot lighter, and it turned out so well. I have a lot of hair and really appreciated all the time spent getting it right. She took her time and it turned otu fabulously. Definitely coming here for color in the future (didn’t get it cut that time). Thanks!

Project: Taking my black Asian hair to platinum
Anything that has to do with color and hair, you MUST see Kylie. She is the Color Queen. I have gone blonde from black many times with many stylists. I’ve had melted hair, green hair, brass hair– I even had stylists lie to me about what color my hair was.
Kylie is none of the above. She’s straight forward with the facts and doesn’t try to butter you up and sell you something unrealistic. The crazy part about that is that Kylie has done something I have never seen before in my life.
In a mere 5 hours she color corrected my hair (it was dyed black) and lifted it to a platinum blonde in ONE SESSION. There was barely any damage at all. I don’t even have split ends! My hair is strong and doesn’t get noodley when it’s wet.
I’m in love with Kylie’s technique and work quality. I will never see another colorist ever again. EVER!

So I’ve been a Unilocal member for years, and I always SWEAR I’m going to write a review and heap on praise where it’s due… but then I flop down on the couch, start a Netflix marathon, or find some new food place to chow down at and before I know it, the action is gone but I still selfishly pat myself on the back for ALMOST giving credit where credit was due. I know, I’m such a good person.
Well today I have to heap on praise. Coty over at Zero Zero is my gateway drug to Unilocal reviews, which is saying plenty because this is my very first review. Here’s the rub: I moved to Washington recently and I’ve been looking for a place that could tame the wild beast that lives atop my head. Needless to say, it’s been a hairy experience. Too corny? Whatever– my last haircut before this was a straight up massacre. I asked for a longer cut and ended up looking like my head could be used as a hearty scrubbing tool for cleaning out the grime and gristle in restaurant kitchens featured in Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares. After that, I grew it out to Scooby Doo Shaggy status because I flat out gave up.
Well today I walked into Zero Zero and met Coty and instantly my fears of a repeat disaster were allayed. I’m a nurse and we’re not usually in the business of judging people; but from the moment I met her, Coty displayed impeccable personal style, a winning smile, and great personality. It helped that her little dog George was tagging/​trotting along on the store floor trustingly and happily wagging his tail.
Once I sat in the chair, I showed Coty a picture of my old toothbrush spiky haircut, some pictures of styles I was looking at, and a very broad vague description of what I wanted to do with my hair. I trusted her immediately and she ran with my terrible description. Well I ended up getting the best haircut of my life, Coty knows exactly what she’s doing and has more skill, advice, and style in her pinky than the lot of hair stylists I’ve visited the past few months (sorry past hairjoints). I’m glad my hair has found its home. Gents/​brothers if you need a GREAT haircut with a genuinely warm person who knows their craft, look no further and give Coty a call at Zero Zero. You won’t regret it.

I’ve gotten my hair cut here a couple times but neglected to leave a review until now. When you’re a girl, getting your hair cut in Seattle can be pretty pricey… so you want to make sure you’re happy with what you get. I’m pretty low-​maintenance. The only time I really check myself out in the mirror is when I’m making sure I don’t have anything stuck in my teeth. I think I might be a problem for hair salons because I never have a great preference one way or the other how my hair is styled.
With that said, I’ve had a great experience and outcomes each time I went to Zero Zero. I got my hair cut by Bo a year or so ago and she was extremely professional, personable while being sensitive about not gabbing my ear off. This last time I got my hair cut by David, who has a gentle voice that’s probably only matched by the soothing hands he used when applying shampoo to the preliminary hair wash before the cut.
Both of them were wonderfully friendly and each time I got a haircut that was perfect to what I wanted. They both were thoughtful about how to match my hair to my personality and what I might desire, even when I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted. I’m sure I’ll be back again and again. The price might be a bit up there, but it’s well worth it.

Obviously there was some sort of miscommunication between myself and the stylist. I explained that my regular salon was quite busy so I came by Zero Zero to have my cut cleaned up a bit. Just a quick maintenance trim.
After the first swipe of the clippers I immediately expressed that I was hoping to keep my hair longer. Too late for that now that a chunk was missing. The stylist explained that he had to continue to cut the rest of my hair to make it look even and admitted that we must have miscommunicated.
The stylist spent the next 15 minutes trying to convince me that this new short cut would be the Spring look I’d fall in love with. The result was the shortest haircut I’ve had since I was a 10 year old. I just wanted my current style cleaned up a bit… instead I left horrified with nearly a buzz cut.
We all know that communication is the key to getting the haircut one is hoping for. I guess there was a communication breakdown and I’m left to suffer the consequences while my hair grows back over the next two months.
NEVER AGAIN Zero Zero.

I sent this message to the salon’s facebook originally because I wanted the owner to see it and at least give them a chance to apologize but they haven’t responded and it was a week ago & I know that they read it…
«I got my haircut 3 weeks ago and fell in love with the stylist, David so I decided to make another appointment to get my hair colored which was last night. This is a pretty big deal for me because I moved here from New York in November and I have had the same woman cutting/​coloring my hair for the last 12 years.
After my haircut and discussing what he wanted to do with my color, we decided on doing something similar to the blayage look, I asked him what he thought it would cost me and he said around $ 85. Well, last night, he charged me $ 165. While he did a fantastic job, it’s disappointing to have been charged almost DOUBLE of what I was told.
I know this doesn’t (at least I hope it doesn’t) reflect on the salon as a whole and that’s why I wanted to bring it to your attention rather than air it on Unilocal.It’s possible David didn’t recall quoting me $ 85 though I find it unlikely because he whispered to the guy who checked me out what to charge me, though we were literally the only ones left in the salon.»
If I had received a response, I would have gladly given the salon another shot but I guess I’m back on the hunt for a new stylist who gives honest quotes/​pricing.
