Kim Hair Salon - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Jane Y.: really needed a haircut after not getting one for over a year. called and made an appt for a week out, super easy. very close to the light rail. kim did a great job cutting my hair and charged me a reasonable price (considering how long my hair was and how much she cut). no frills, no fuss, just a straightforward haircut. thanks kim!!

5 /5 Peter Han: I’ve been a customer at Kim Hair Salon for the past 1.5 years. Have gotten multiple haircuts and perms and would highly recommend Mrs. Kim especially if you’re an Asian male lookin for a cut. Prices have increased by a couple extra dollars since I started going but even still I don’t think you’ll find a better value hair salon for the quality of haircuts (currently $20 w/o tip for a men’s haircut, $65 w/o tip for a perm and cut). Highly recommend! Things to lookout for if you plan on visiting: - make sure to call in advance to set an appointment! She is very busy with clients all day so I would suggest calling right when she opens to ensure she can answer the phone. If not you’ll have to try multiple times. She is the only person working there so be patient! I promise it’s worth the wait - She is CASH only! So be sure to bring enough for the cut/perm as well as tip. - have a picture of what you want. It’ll help her achieve the look that you want. For myself personally, i specifically tell her instructions such as low-fade on the sides with no undercut, texturize my hair with the texturizing sheers, etc. She is really good at what she does so no worries if you can’t give specific instructions, you can trust her. I’ve attached pictures of my recent perm/cut. Got tighter curls so I can keep the perm longer. No damage to my hair which is great because I have very thin hair. Sometimes you’re hair will get damaged a little and that’s just the nature of a perm, so be prepared if you do want a perm. If you’ve gotten a perm before, you can let Mrs. Kim know how long you kept the curls in last time and she’ll go with that. For me and my thinner hair, that sweet spot is 25-30min.

5 /5 Danny Walker: Kim is fast, efficient and fierce. She speak 4+ languages and can do multiple hairstyles. She works alone so you would have to book week in advance but its undoubtedly worth it.

5 /5 Jiheon Song: No frills, one of the best, yet most affordable, haircuts ever! She listens to you, not like other places where they do what they want, not what you want. This place is very busy for good reasons. You have to call probably 8-9 times to get hold of her on the phone.

5 /5 Han Meegeren: Friendly, efficient, and professional service. Very skilled (her handling of my tricky hair is as good as my usual Japanese stylist’s). Incredibly reasonable prices — if you look at the price list, it’s only gone up a few dollars in the past 4 years. Yes, you seem to be allotted about 30 mins, but her efficiency and no-nonsense style mean she gets it done without compromise (and also that you don’t have to wait when when you get to your appointment). Cash only.
