The Best 18 Hair Salon in Mount Vernon, WA (part 2)

J MeetMe I moved here in 2022 and finding a new hairstylist was so difficult. One of my coworkers recommended Shelli to me last year when I was having a hard time finding a stylist I could trust. She always listens to make sure I get exactly what I want and asks questions if my explanation isn’t the best. I have loved every single cut and color she has done for me. She is also a great listener when it comes to personal matters; it’s like a free therapy session. I always feel like a million dollars when I leave. The clothes in the boutique are so trendy and definitely worth going in and looking at even if you don’t need a salon service. I urge you to check out the new location on 1st Street! Thank you Shelli for everything and for making me feel beautiful inside and out.

Willa Johnson I’ve been going to Shelli for my hair since I’ve been in Middle school, and I’ve got to say that as a 25 year old now—she is still the only person I trust to do it! Chique Boutique is always an inviting atmosphere, and Shelli is wonderful at listening to what you want and not only giving you that style but also educating and providing input. I really recommend heading on down to cute old town Mount Vernon and checking out the Chique Boutique as soon as you can!

M G Shelli is amazing with everything, but what I really wanted to give her kudos with is her work on my eye lashes! They are amazing! Shellis Salon is clean, warm, and inviting! She took her time with me and always made sure that I was comfortable :-) I will always be getting my lashes done by Shelli at Chique Boutique Salon from now on!!! Ive had them done before by others and one of the biggest complaints I had was that they did not glue each eyelash on to each of my individual eyelashes and so when one would get loose it would take out 3 to 5 of my natural eyelashes. Thank you Shelli!

Catherine Hernkind Always love the service and hair care provided . shelli is amazing, I have been with her for 14 years , she has also added clothing and jewelry to her hair salon and will also moving to a new location❤️ this review has been updated as of 7/21/2024

honey badger They do great job.

Carpenter Kristina Sherman is absolutely fabulous. I have been seeing her since 2021. She took my wrecked hair color and walked me through a restoring process "takes talent" to do this, and made it absolutely natural and beautiful again. I also brought two of my daughters whom just love her. Always full of great meaningful conversation. I highly recommend her as your forever stylist & friend. -Jo

Brianna McCourt Denise is amazing! Love her. She saved my hair and now its growing back full and beautiful! Thanks maam!

Margaret Turner Tracy is the best! I have tried other hairstylist and have returned to her. Gives great advice for my chair care and health as well. I always get compliments on myhair.

Katie Bondar Came in for a balayage and the stylist did foils instead. Ruined my hair because she overbleached it and burned my scalp in the process. My hair still didnt turn out the way I wanted it, but different tones of yellow and orange. Its been over 2 months now since this happened, but Im still paying for the crappy service I got.

natalie First time client at Genesis salon. Kendra did an amazing job! She listened attentively to what I wanted and gave me such an adorable haircut. The other stylists in the salon were very welcoming. I will definitely be returning

Elinor & Xena I am not really a review writer but I had such a wonderful experience with this salon that it needed to be shared. Melissa was my stylist and she gave me a hair cut and protein treatment today. I am self admittedly a hard to please customer and have been burned so badly by other hair experiences in the past so having a great experience here goes a long way. Melissa is very educated in healthy curls. I am a curly girl with fragile curls and specific needs for products, cuts, and styling types. Melissa gave me the first good haircut, for my curly hair, that I think I have ever received. I completely stopped getting my hair cut more than 5 years ago (I am 30) because every time I was horrified by the results. Melissa gave me the opposite experience, I left with healthier bouncier softer, more defined curls, and she gave me a trim without taking too much of my length. I am so happy and impressed with her knowledge, grace and professionalism but also balanced with being totally personable and friendly. I will definitely be going back.

Jenna Paulsen I have been going here for over 10 years! Love the gals that work there. And they offer so many different services. Best salon in the valley! Their new location is beautiful

Chelsea L Finally found a wonderful hair stylist! I recently booked a full highlight/cut with Colleen and I was so impressed. Coming from Whidbey Island, the basic pricing for highlights is absolutely outrageous. I was paying upwards of $500 every three months to get my hair highlighted and cut. I was so tired of going to a hair salon where it felt like the owner of the hair salon was side-eyeing and judging everyone, on top of the prices they were charging. I was really going out on a limb when I decided to book with Colleen at Genesis and I am so glad I did. Though I am sad I didnt find her sooner!! She was SO kind and SO nice to talk to. I felt like she was truly genuine when it came to talking to me about the integrity of my hair and I was in awe with the end result. She is amazing and Ive already spread her name around work, so Im hoping everyone takes the leap of faith and books with her soon :)

Kathleen Perez Sonia did a phenomenal job on my hair as always! Reasonably priced for great quality and I am always happy with my service whether it’s from eyebrow threading or to a simple haircut. Thank you!!

Christie Thompson I was very nervous going to a new stylist as I just moved to the area. Sonia made me feel very welcome and comfortable and she did a great style on my hair

Sandra Lebron Janeth was highly recommended by two friends. She did not disappoint. My mom and I left extremely happy. Will definitely be back!

Domino’s Pizza Edited to include my response to the worker: I saw what I saw and heard what I heard. This isn’t a new account you just can’t see the reviews I’ve done because I have it set up that way! I’m sure that person went on their way and continued working with no problem. I’m sure they wouldn’t have taken the order if they didn’t want to, I’m just saying it was rude and and uncalled for to laugh and make jokes about someone doing a service for you. Don’t you work for tips as well? Then you should know better. But to each their own. Believe what you want. I spoke on it and that’s all. Good luck with your business. Today I saw something I don’t think will ever allow me to return to this salon again! The salon worker got an Instacart order while I was there and it was a rather large order. 6 cases of water and more!! She made jokes and laughed about how the poor young girl struggled to get everything inside and then made fun of the fact that she only tipped her $8 dollars for all that hard work! I felt so bad for this young girl delivering the order! This was absolutely unacceptable and uncalled for! Today was the last day I step foot inside this building! The salon worker should be ashamed of her actions and behavior! They lost a customer today!

Linda Ramsdell If you arent getting your hair done here or even eyebrows... you arent doing it right! Just come see Sonia. Trust me. Im picky about hair on levels you wont believe. Sonia is the best! Extensions? She can do an amazing job. Color? Yesss!!!! Cuts? Yesssss! Just stop wasting your money on the meh and get yourself right the first time!

Wren Perry I have always just had my mom cut my hair so I didnt really know how to describe what I wanted other than pictures. Emily was AMAZING and asked all the right questions and she made me feel like a brand new person. Not only did she cut it but she styled it PERFECTLY. She was really sweet and I dont think it could have been any better. The place was so clean and they offered refreshments!! If you want your hair done Id definitely come here!

La Pda The receptionist was friendly and welcoming, and the stylist provided professional service. The salon was exceptionally clean. I will return. Thank you for accommodating my short-notice appointment request.

Jamie Wilson The stylist that helped me, saved my hair! She is a magician. I went in with practically Ronald McDonald orange hair due to a drastic mistake and she fixed it good as new. She was fantastic, even stayed late past hours. And...I was a walk in!!

Rita Tillison I absolutely love coming and getting my hair done! Jenae is wonderful!! She does an amazing job and I always walk out feeling fantastic!!

Mary Grier I love my stylist, Emelee. She is precise, careful, and my hair looks great when she is finishef. The salon is very nice. Friendly receptionist, nice clientele.

Esteban Grande Great service by Brandy. Very nice smaller salon, comfortable and inviting.

Sara Meyers My hair turned out beautiful! Atmosphere is pleasant and everybody is so nice! Highly recommended!!

Sarah McKiernan The greatest salon in Skagit! Love the intimate feel and aesthetic of YOU. Wouldnt trust anyone else with mine or my familys hair!

Kris Smith Best salon in the Valley! I love my stylist Amy…for at least the past 20 years! Sarah is the best at keeping me scheduled with appointments at the times and days I need!

jackie payne I went to this salon because an acquaintance recommended it. Ive been looking for a good hair dresser. The vibe of the salon was not for me, and for the cut I got I found the price to be expensive. I arrived 10 minutes early and was finally called for service 15 minutes later than my appointment time.

Ruth Avila Well, I get here at 5:40, is supposed they close at 7, but they said they are closed. Not good.

Google User Yamile did an amazing job on my hair. Will definitely go back to her!

David Gonzalez the 2 women did a very good job on my 2 boys this is a pretty good business they had me in and out in 10 minutes

dArcy Montague Fast, affordable, open a littler later, and convenient location near Grocery Outlet & COA. Yamile gave my son exactly the haircut he showed her a picture of. He says it’s his favorite haircut he’s ever had.

Sherri Johnson The only place to get your hair done in Skagit County. The Salon is New York talent, in our own backyard!

Audrey Temes There are hair stylists, and then there’s Brenda. She’s a true artist; just check out her instagram! I have gone to some of the finest salons in Seattle in search of a good haircut for my fine, thin hair and then found this gem of a salon in Mount Vernon. Brenda is not only warm and personable, she is knowledgeable and talented. She gave me a lot of pointers on how to maintain my new style and I have received a lot of compliments on my hair cut. This was my first appointment at The Experience salon and I have already booked my next haircut. Highly recommend.

Nina Zerbo Toby, Brenda and the entire team at the Experience Salon are who you should be calling for current trends and technical superiority. I drive from downtown Seattle up to Mount Vernon just to have Toby do my hair and I have been going to him for the past 8 years...and I have no intention to go anywhere else. Toby takes great pride in having highly educated and trained professionals on his team. They look to each other for inspiration and trendsetting. Dont be fooled by the quaint town location. They are doing amazing work at the Experience Salon and would give any Seattle salon a run for their money!

Justin Martin Im not sure whats going on, but no one ever answers the phone. You get a voicemail saying they only take calls Tuesday-Thursday, to leave a message. You do, and no one ever calls you back. I then tried calling back every day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and same deal, right to voicemail and no returned call. Is this place even still in business? I ended up having to cut my own hair. 3 out of 5 stars for my own hair cut, though.

Vanessa J I get so many compliments on my haircut. Shout out to HEATHER, my hairstylist! Also, I really appreciate it how she takes her time to massage my head and neck while in the wash bowl. I highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a new hair dresser!! P.S. Frankie makes the best coffees! Thank you both for a great experience.

Charles Royal Jerry was very friendly and did a great job. This was my first visit and would recommend it to anyone looking for an old fashioned haircut. Reasonable prices too.

Emily Rawlings Took my almost one year old for a cut with Jerry. He was so sweet and great with the baby. Great experience! Good price too.

Kevin Jerry is the Fade King. Not a single hair missed. This guy could line up anyone and make it look like a work of art. Highly recommend him.

Alex Eby My first time going into Kens Hairstyling was a couple of days ago, and they did a great job! Saturdays are walk-in days and even with a couple people ahead of me the wait wasnt too bad. Jerry did a wonderful job cutting my hair and I will definitely be back. I would recommend checking them out!

Linda Sherman My son wanted his mullet trimmed up . Jerry took him back and did a fantastic job. Jerry did exactly what he wanted. Will return for a trim. Highly recommend

helena hudak Rachel is amazing. She has been cutting my hair for a few years now, always does a great job. I got some hand tied extensions installed as well and had them for almost a year. My hair was pretty short and I wanted length and we got just that. They looked so amazing and she is so knowledgeable and informed me every step of the way. Highly recommend for any one looking to get professional extensions to your basic trim!

Allison Sandon I love this salon. It’s always clean and bright and welcoming. The girls are sweet and very talented and they have an awesome variety of product for every hair type. With incredibly reasonable pricing. I love my hair stylist also. She’s the best!

Grace Wydur Chantel did my hair today and I was SHOCKED at how soft and lightweight my hair felt after she was done! We did a full foil and not only was that done amazingly but so is her overall service. She offers you snacks and water, makes sure you’re always comfortable, and really takes her time to make sure that it’s perfect.

Sara Martinez I see Chantel for my hair needs! After getting my hair done by her I feel so much at ease coming to her for any bleaching/hair coloring , she and the other staff truly care about the Health of your hair over processing too quickly and dealing with more issues down the line, highly recommend!

James Ellifritt Hes been cutting my moms and my familys hair for a long time, hes our go to guy for family cuts. Dont be discouraged about previous reviews. He is well known in the valley for providing exceptional haircuts. Highly recommend! And if you dont like your haircut all you have to do is calmly talk to him and hell fix it for you.

Maggie Avila 10/10 recommend, Maria has done a exceptional job at coloring my hair. I have had purple, red, and blue hair and have always come to her for her services.

Vanessa Sanchez Went in for a perm and the girl doing my hair(Maria) was such in a hurry she missed some of my hair and messed it up she was doing other people’s haircut while working on me! 10/10 would not recommend!! Not going back here ever worst experience!!

J Schae It had been over a year since I’d had my hair cut due to moving away from my previous stylist. I had an appointment with Stephanie at Spero. I am very pleased with how refreshed my hair looks and feels. Stephanie really listened to what I wanted, checked in to make sure it looked right, and took the time to refine everything so it was just so. She was very personable and friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her. The salon itself is impressive and offers a multitude of services. Tamera was lovely and gave me a tour after I’d inquired about some of their other offerings. I’ll definitely be back.

Julia Pierstorff Do not obtain the services from this salon if you are a bride or bridal party. Management horribly managed the key co.ponents of my daughters wedding and told hair/makeup person to not show up at ate venue even though I confirmed with salon day before wedding. Hair/.makeup did not show up at agreed upon time on my daughters most important day. I had to call salon and ask staff to please get to venue site so the bride could get hair and makeup done. Management will promise you the royal treatment and will take care of everything. Owner never took responsibility and even apologize for what disaster of decisions that owner had made. Do not sign up with this salon if you want to make certain that you have the hair and makeup team to show up on your big day. Totally disappointed with this salons Management.

Kevin Meenaghan I had a great visit to the Spero Salon. I had a mens pedicure and manicure. Stephanie N. was fabulous...great conversation, no pain and I look & feel MUCH better. The salon is a spacious 4,500 square feet and very comfortable. The price was very reasonable (I thought a little low for what I received, actually). I will definitely go back.

Cristal Was very happy with my cut on Sunday when it was nice and styled, until i straightened it today and realized its supper choppy on one side. No wonder it was curled, so it would actually look good. Theres even a part in the back that looks like theres a chunk of hair missing.Now i have to wait to let it grow out so that it can be fixed since I definitely dont want more length cut off.

Jessica Breckenridge Lauren at Trendz is absolutely amazing. She took what I wanted and ran with it. We ended up doing two sessions so I could get exactly what I wanted. My hair is gorgeous, so soft and no damage. Great conversation and well worth ever penny! Highly highly recommend.

BROOKE CRAWFORD I’ve been here before and hadn’t experienced this before. I saw a new girl and when I booked online I knew what I was needing to pay. When my appt was over I was given my amount and it was double the price. All I had was Color placed. I did call the salon back and am waiting to hear something. I was very displeased in this.

Alexei McCormack Shannon is pretty awesome at what she does with a brief description and photo to reference a new cut and color! Thank you to all the hard working ladies at Trendz, any stylist is so worth seeing here!

Maggie Albrecht 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND A SERVICE HERE Listed Below: 1st & 2nd Photos: Before Crystal preformed magic 3rd & 4th Photos: After Crystal preformed magic. Crystal & the staff at Trendz Hair Salon were just so amazing for many reasons! Each of them were caring & sweet even though only Crystal was my stylist. Crystal went out of her way to make me feel safe and comfortable today. She had A-LOT of work ahead of her as my hair is naturally SUPER CURLY. She worked for 7 hours on my hair and I could not be happier. I will be coming back to her & will be recommending her to others, as I have never been happier with a hair service. The balayage was amazing and dimensional. She achieved my wanted outcome for the day. She even gave me a BEAUTIFUL blowout. The salon was clean, friendly, inviting, and comfortable. They offered different beverages & it smelled fantastic in there! Normally 7 hours seems like a long time, but this staff & environment made it so relaxing! Make your appointment asap as I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Melissa Anderson Ive see Debra and Crystal, and they do such fabulous work! Debra has helped me understand my hair and what it needs to look its best, and Crystal gives a killer head massage while washing your hair. Highly recommend them both!!

Rachel S I usually get my hair cut at cheap places since I have a pretty low-maintenance hairstyle, but I thought I’d try a nicer place this time. Awful experience. The worst haircut of my life from Debbie. Went home crying. I have (or did before this haircut) super long, healthy hair. I’ve never colored it and just go in once or twice a year for a trim. I somehow got a terrible mullet-like set of “bangs” in the front and just so choppy, short, and awful in the back. I came back and Charlotte did a better job fixing it, resolving that it will just need to grow back out. But when I tried to express my disappointment in my haircut, she kept reminding me that, “I’m only as good as my canvas”. I even told her at the end, “I don’t think it was my fault she gave me a bad haircut...” and she said, “of course! It’s just my motto that we’re only as good as our canvas.” Never once got an, “I’m so sorry this happened to you”. Just a lecture about how I’m supposed to guide my stylist on how to cut hair. Very low-accountability motto, taking the responsibility off them and onto you. So if you don’t like your haircut it’s because you’re not a good “canvas”. Walked out of there feeling so awful. Waste of $$, going back to great clips.

Mike I recommend Debbie!!! She colored and cut my hair yesterday! Its perfect! Thanks Debbie!!!

Ashley Wodja Lindsey was really great! Friendly and was quick to get the style and color I wanted done.

Cherry Daniels I was able to get an appointment for a partial foil pretty quick. Went in and Brandy did an amazing job! The pink was perfect. I also wanted a cut and she had time for that as well. It was great cause Im trying to grow out my hair and she didnt chop a bunch off like most people do. I will be coming back for my refresher soon. Great atmosphere, clean and friendly.

Aubrey Smith My daughter and I both went for some fresh new styles. The little Xtra money spent was worth it. 4 days later, completely love our cuts. I think I had Lindsey and my daughter had Michelle. Id go back to either of them. Thanks for great hair!

Stan Tacazon Let’s put it this way. I’ve been going to Diane for over 10 years. She is the best you have and you should be taking care of that young lady. She does a great job. She’s very professional and she also helps all the other hairstylist that are working there, trying to get their profession started

Shirley Schwab Worse haircut ever!! My hair was 5" on top, told her shape it, to take off less than 1/2 inch, I now have a spot on the crown of my head that is only 1 inch long!! its like a 3 year got hold of a pair of scissors and cut my hair. The left side of my head is about 3" long the left side is only 1 1/2" long. This is not a hair salon, its a butcher shop!!!

Dallas Breaux Karina is amazing I love how she does my hair! And Diane is always super friendly we love coming to Supercuts!

Kai Birchler I normally go to a different place to get my haircut, but they couldnt get me in for the next week. I decided to try Supercut on a whim, got in within 25 minutes and got matched with Dianna. She was wonderful, made sure to explain to me how the style I showed would have to be changed to work with my hair. Usually the stylists at my other place do a cut and I walk out with a completely different cut than I asked and have to fix at home. This time, Dianna did it exactly how I asked. She took her time to make sure it looked good and was even! 10/10!!!

Ches C We went in on Saturday for a cut.. I wish I got a different stylist, the lady I got was not nice from the get go. Just didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. Tried small talk and that didn’t work out much.. I told her I wanted the long wolf cut, mind you I tried showing her what I wanted and she just didn’t care to look at the picture. My hair WAS long, like to my behind long and I wanted to keep that length, she asked me where I wanted the first layer and I told her my cheek bone (I don’t know I’ve never had this cut before) she said “are you sure?” which made me second guess and I skeptically said yes.. instead of giving me advice, knowing I wanted to keep my length she went ahead started razor blading it all off while constantly saying “are you sure?”... inches and inches going away.. each drop of hair on my lap made me instantly regret my decision on where I wanted the first layer. She was not making me feel confident and made my experience entirely overwhelming and I wanted to cry. I’m a non confrontational person so I walked away with 6-10 INCHES of my length gone. And before anyone says well why didn’t you stop her.. I couldn’t see behind my head until she said “now this is the back” *razor razor* gone.. I was left with pretty much what looked like a manta rays top view (like body and tail) that I was forced to cut off what was left of the length or it would look very weird… The more I mess with it the more it is growing on me I guess.. I’ll have to wait another year for it to grow back but I think I’ll go to another place from now on… I put my trust in the hands of a stranger when she knew I’ve been growing my hair out for two years….

Sinderella Johnson The best job done on my hair, EVER! She had to do a lot of work to get my hair the way I like it, without compromising the health of my hair, and it is gorgeous! She worked very hard, and made sure to check with me on all the different colors so there were no surprises! Very comfortable atmosphere.

Sinderella X The only place I trust to touch my hair! Really friendly owner/beautician. Mary does an excellent job, I always leave with a smile on my face! She is very caring, and works very hard at what she does.

Brian McClay Went someplace else and they butchered my sons hair and Donna fixed it! My haircut by Latisha turned out great too. I will be going here from now on.

Alexis Kimmel Donna gave my husband the BEST haircut Ive seen him have in 10 years!!

Scott McNeill Courtney did a terrific job with my hair! I appreciate her attention to detail and thorough work. She noticed when a spot was not sitting right and recommended changing the length -- it turned out great.

Wesley Cole Took my son to get his hair fixed that his dad totally botched. The chick did a good job on his hair but she left his hair trimmings all over his face, ears, neck and shirt. I mean I know its IMPOSSIBLE to totally be hair free I mean obviously its going to get places and fall in between gaps but this was like she didnt even wipe him down or brush him off or even give him a towel and say here kid wipe the hair off your face. I was next door with my daughter while he and his dad were in the salon and when they came to meet us I was so upset I wanted to take him back in there and say something to her. And I gave her a $10 tip too!!! Idk Maybe its not a big deal but it was to me my poor lil guy had hair in his eyes and mouth. Hes 10 but hes still my baby to me.

Pat Lane I like this place. Sometimes the music and the voices are too loud to suit me but I get a good haircut quickly and for a good price. The main thing is to check in on line before getting there and pick a good time. I went mid afternoon on a Tuesday and had no wait at all. Nichelle was attentive and focused her energy on me and my haircut which I appreciated. I want a stylist’s undivided attention and she gave it to me.

Sarah Wachs I have had a couple of visits to the cottage salon for services with Brigette. She is personable and professional. I appreciate that the salon has automated reminders for me and in the case of a need to reschedule, Brigette was always available in a timely manner. I am very happy with my cut and keratin treatment. I have rather unruly curly hair and she is familiar with texture and the proper styling techniques needed.

mmm Harley Lets see where do I begin I had an event coming up so I asked the lady if I can come in she said yes everything was great I came in At 8:30 p.m. I had we work the next day At 6:00 a.m. no problem I was a little worried because price point was very high but she said a be fine I said go ahead I need my highlights done but then when she was done there was only a little bit done in then there was A-line across my forehead the next day I was like no this wont work so I called her and said can you fix it well not today maybe Monday I said I had avent a white party to go to tonight what it cost me more she said normally yes but not for me so I said and then I said never mind I was very disappointed because normally my original hairdresser always fix my hair never left me with A-line across It to this day it looks ridiculous I had to go to another hairdresser and have them fix it which was more money out of my pocket I recommend that if you go here that you closely watch and asked not for the most experienced but for the person that wants to take their time and fix it right I look like a zebra I realize its peoples livelihood but if youre going to do someone hair make sure that they dont rush it and make sure that you have plenty of time to get it done right normally Ive paid 125 full foil she put in 8 foils for 125 Bucks plus I tipped her 10 bucks. Her first offer was 175 or something #badforbusiness

Marie Huggins Katrina is the best nail tech in the valley! She does just beautiful work.

Kyra West Very nice salon in downtown Mount Vernon. Super easy to book an appointment online but also friendly on the phone helping me. I went for a bit more color than usual and Bridget was great to work with.
