Tips For A Successful Salon Experience

Here are some tips on making your next salon visit a successful one!

Appointments
-Try and arrive 5-15 minutes early to an appointment (especially if you are a new client.) We want to make sure we have as much time as possible to go over your hair needs and consultation in order to provide the best possible experience. Leave yourself ample time to get through traffic, park, pay your meter and/or walk to the salon. Avoid bringing small children to the salon, they can lead to stress, distraction or mistakes and greatly increase the length of your visit. Remember, a relaxed stress free salon visit is a successful salon visit.

Consultations
-Some people think stylists know what they want right away but the more the client shares the more satisfied the client will be in the end. Bring a picture, talk about goals, styling issues, etc. The more info the better!

Follow Recommendations
-Your stylist spent a few hours giving you styling tips, applying customized color and making product recommendations so that you can get the most out of your new haircut or color! We are here to help you. Your hair is an investment and your stylist has your best interest in mind.

The Evolution of a Mohawk…

Paka, one of our long standing clients, had very short hair and wanted a change. He had had tried several different versions of fades and even medium-length shaggy hair, but none of it seemed just right to him.

His hair is coarse and grows *very* fast. One day he asked for a mohawk. I told him “Sure thing! Just grow out the top a little more before we start and then it will just be a matter of time before you have one!”

To keep his mohawk up, I used Fudge’s “Pump Up” to blow it out. To hold it together upward, I then used Alterna’s “Hair Concrete”, and to freeze it in place, I used Fudge’s “Membrane Gas”.

Here is a visual record of Paka’s hairstyle change progression!

Business Hair <> Boring!!!

You can give your hair edge without losing your job by changing the texture!

We all want a professional look to help us to be successful at work, but you can add a bit of edge your style and still be professional! A razor cut gives the hair a unique look, even when worn in a conservative style. Or you can enhance a conservative haircut by adding hints or bits of color.

If you have curly hair, you can blow it out and straighten it with a flat iron. Kevin Murphy’s Body Guard is great for blowing hair out smooth; it also has protective ingredients that protect the hair from heating elements.

If you have straight hair, you can add texture with hair products such as Alterna’s Hair Concrete, Fudge’s Reform, and Kevin Murphy’s Hair Resort.

It’s Never Too Early to Be Stylish!

Chad has been my client for a few years and while I knew he had a son, Damien, I had never met him, until today. Chad and Lynn were going to buzz all Damien’s hair off because it was so long! After consultation however, we all decided that maybe a faux hawk wasn’t a bad idea for a little one, so we did that. Damien is very smart and well-behaved for a kid who is turning 3 soon and the faux hawk looked awesome on him! Good work Chad & Lynn!

Thanks Aaron!

Thanks Aaron, for your review!

From our Yelp page:


I have been going to Lancer for almost a decade. He knows what he is doing and is good at doing what I want. The new look and management at Emerson Salon have also made this a much more inviting space than it previously was.

I definitely highly recommend any of the people in this salon. Not only are they good at doing hair, but the banter between them will likely make you laugh at least a few times while you are there.

Haircut By Lancer

Kate always gets a version of a fauxhawk. She also has a ton of hair and wild cowlicks, so we fade the sides and back tightly and texturize the longer hair to death to get it to cooperate. We had cut her hair recently but the cowlicks were being particularly unruly, so she came back in for a fix.

Emerson Salon featured in Seattle Picks for Men Magazine

Online magazine “Seattle Picks for Men” recently featured Emerson Salon in their latest March Issue.

Here is a snippet from article

“First off, we prefer a barber in a classic (and masculine) setting that is no-nonsense. On the other hand, we appreciate the range in style of a salon. So what do we often do? Forget it all and go to Supercuts. Thankfully for us, there are now more and more places like Emerson Salon on Capitol Hill. Combining the atmosphere of a classic barber shop with the range and service of a salon, we are forced to accept the fact that there is really no reason to lower our standards again.” (read the rest here)
