Seattle Salon and Hair Cut | Margi David Salon

Seems like I just can't get back to reviewing Seattle restaurants and bars anymore. I've just been doing too much other stuff and want to write about it. So, without further adieu, as the title suggests, I have another Seattle salon review (two Seattle salon reviews in one week is a little weird, but it's on the list, so in it goes). As a little background, this Seattle hair cut review is of my "regular" hair cut place (I am a boy, so saying salon all the time is a little weird - I'm going to stick with it throughout the rest of this post, but just know that it makes me feel a little funny).

Margi David Salon (their website is a little slow - but check it out if you are curious) is located in the East Lake neighborhood of Seattle and from what I've heard has a reputation as a pretty solid, fairly high end salon. I heard about it through my brother-in-law and wife, who both go there on a regular basis to get their hair done. The brother-in-law, like me, typically just gets a haircut, for around $40, and the wifey gets the whole shebang - cut and color, for I think about $150. I've been pleased every time I've gone there, so I thought I'd let you all know about it in case you were looking for a nice place to get a hair cut.

After you find Margi David Salon (which, I must admit, was a little difficult for me the first couple of times - parking is in between the Margi David building and another building, and the spaces are tight) and go in, you'll immediately notice two things: (1) they want to be really cool; and (2) they are interested in making you feel great while you are there. The salon has a pretty cool vibe about it (but there is no DJ, like the other Seattle salon), is clean, and the stylists are generally young and in a good mood.

Jason has been my stylist every time. He cuts my brother-in-laws hair, does a really good job, and is really interested in his profession. This isn't the place where you get in and out in 20 minutes with a quick trim. Expect to take at least 45 minutes, even for a guy's cut, but expect to be looking pretty good when you leave. Jason was profiled in a Seattle magazine recently, which I thought was pretty cool, and he and the other stylists make frequent trips to New York to get the best training available. Bottom line, if you want a good cut, check these guys out.

I guess there isn't much else to say about Margi David Salon. The staff is polite and knowledgeable, the rates are competitive, and the aesthetic is good. If you are new to Seattle and looking for a great hair cut or style, give Margi David Salon a call and book an appointment with Jason. You won't be disappointed.
