Starling Salon Collective - Seattle (WA)

5 /5 Hidlynne: My first time in today to see Luci! One of the best haircuts ever! Luci spent time getting to know my hair and my needs and checked in with me multiple times during the cut to ensure it was to my liking. Luci’s demeanor, professionalism and kindness helped make me feel comfortable. I truly love the cut! Luci is a talented artist.

5 /5 Ren Green: I have gone to JD for about 3 (almost 4) years now ever since I moved to Seattle. They’re an unbelievably skilled and creative hairdresser! Their artistic eye is incredible, and the salon space is beautiful with its antique golden mirrors, velvet furniture, and the plethora of plants and oddities lining the walls. I’ve loved every haircut and color I’ve gotten from them, and they’ve transformed my hair many times from my virgin long brown hair to long dark green hair to my now short black two block haircut. Would highly recommend you go to JD for any hair needs, but especially if you want a badass gender-affirming cut :) the other stylists are lovely as well and equally as skilled and talented! So happy this salon exists — it’s full of friendly inclusive people

5 /5 Tonia Bartz: After decades of living with pencil straight hair that was easy for me to maintain, medical treatments caused the texture of my hair to change to extremely dry + wavy, a complete 180. I tried for a year to figure it out myself, but I needed help, + a stylist that understood not only wavy hair, but the emotions + stress that come from dealing with a medically-induced change. Luci is that human. She’s supportive, honest, candid + open to discussion on what I want as well as how I will actually take care of my hair on a day to day basis. Her aura is calming, delightful + safe. There have definitely been moments where I’ve unexpectedly broken down + gotten nothing but support + even a time out in the middle of an appointment for me to reset + breathe. I’m not one that’s used to (or wants to) spend hours everyday on my hair using a whole army of products + rituals. And Luci respects that, helping me fine a way to make these new lovely locks work for me. I cannot recommend this salon + Luci enough. They are inclusive, accepting, welcoming + extremely knowledgeable.

5 /5 Quinn R: I’m very protective over my hair, and I hadn’t had it cut in a very long time, and I couldn’t have found a better salon or stylist than Jazz! I have medium thickness slightly wavy hair, for reference. She gave wonderful recommendations and advice for how to care for both the cut and my hair, as well as really listening to what I wanted and altering my cut to fit what I imagined exactly. This is the most heard I have ever felt at a salon. Consent is highly valued here. The cut Jazz created was absolutely masterful as well, this long shag is incredibly easy to style and looks amazing every way I look at it. She helped problem solve with me when we ran into a cowlick I forgot I had, stopped and listened when I didn’t love how the curl pattern made me feel and experimented until I adored it. I walked out feeling SO hot. My girlfriend said I even carry myself with more confidence. If you’re looking for a change, I couldn’t recommend Jazz more. On a person to person level, thats also just one earnest, kind, and intentional person. She is a joy to talk with while in the chair. TLDR; Jazz is a great person and stylist, my transformation cut was a big leap I couldn’t be happier with. My hair suits me, is more hydrated, and so much easier to take care of because I visited Starling. I’ll be a regular from now on!
