Ive yet to have a negative or even average experience at this salon. Everyone, from the moment you walk in, works hard to make sure you feel valued, relaxed and heard. Todays visit I got a haircut and complimentary lip retouch. My stylist Kristen listened intently and thoroughly to my hair concerns and wishes and spoke with me about how we could go about the cut. She then went on to ask if there were any other concerns or areas I wanted to focus on. I felt immediately confident that my hair would look great and just like we had talked about. At Caruh after this conversation you receive a quick massage with some amazing smelling oil before your wash: I chose peppermint. I always look forward to this part because although it doesnt last more than 3-5 minutes, it feels great, smells amazing and really relaxes you into the experience. There is also a complimentary hand massage during your hair wash, also a plus! Its the little things like that that this salon does that really set it apart. My haircut went great, the overall vibe of the salon really comes through and makes for a relaxed, easy to talk atmosphere. After my cut and style (which looked AMAZING) I was offered a complimentary lip retouch which Ive never done before. The woman (I believe her name was JoAnne) was knowledgable, complimentary and comfortable and helped me understand the products without any feeling of obligation to buy. For the last 6 years Ive enjoyed going to Aveda salons in Utah, Florida and Washington, and since moving back to Seattle Ive been to 3 different Aveda salons. Caruh however outranks them all when it comes to the talent of their stylists, the kindness of front desk staff and the overall atmosphere they provide. Well done!

Caruhs "spa membership" program is an almost ridiculously good deal -- for $100 a month, you can get two one-hour massages! Thats only $50 a massage, which is only $20 more than I was paying in co-pays for massages covered by my health plan (of which Im limited to only 10 appointments a year -- never enough to make much of a difference). That I can continue to get such professional help for my chronic pain issues through Julie, the greatest, kindest, gentlest, most understanding massage therapist Ive EVER MET, has made a huge difference to my quality of life. Caruhs staff are all so wonderful -- and walking into the salon/spa itself is always a breath of fresh air. Youre treated to tea and pampering as soon as you walk in the door, everybody is always on time and happy to see you. It truly always IS "a beautiful day at Caruh" (how they always answer the phone, which I love!). Thank you, thank you, thank you!! (p.s. Caruh also donated an amazingly generous spa treatment package to Purrfect Pals No-Kill Cat Shelter this year, by the way, and they do a TON of charity work -- their commitment not only to their clients but to their entire community is just one more of the many incredible things about this business. You could not find a better spa in Seattle, if you ask me. GO HERE NOW!)

When I first called, I got an appointment immediately. My stylist was/is Erica and she is great! She listens to what I want, discusses it with me and takes her time with my hair. I am happy and can work with my hair until the next appt. and I dont walk out looking like a peeled onion like I have many times in the past at other places (my hair is short). She is a Caruh top stylist; this is the most Ive ever paid for a haircut in my life, but ... you get what you pay for and Erica is certainly worth it; if she wasnt, I would not return. A great perk is the head-neck-shoulder massage before the shampoo and between the shampoo and conditioner is the hand-arm massage. I love the scents of the massage oil & products. I love the products too and use them at home.. Thank you Erica and Caruh!

I cant speak highly enough of this salon. I had never before been to an Aveda salon, so that in itself made this a decadent experience for me with the lush and natural scents and products they use. Courtney was stylist who gave me a basic layered haircut. She was warm, genuine, and listened super well. She gave helpful feedback and ultimately wanted to make sure I got the haircut I was looking for. My hair came out looking great and exactly as I had wanted. The interior of this salon is beautiful (dont be fooled by the dated exterior of the complex!) and it was a relaxing and wonderful experience. Plus hot tea and coffee served to you throughout? Yes, please! It makes me wish I needed more frequent haircuts!

I have been going to this salon for years even before their name change (Strands). I have tried to find someplace closer to my home with little success. This salons consistancy, professionalism and quality of client care is a rare find! The spa is great and stylist above average - very experienced! They are getting ready to do another remodel, its nice to see a salon take pride in not only their clients but also surroundings. I especially like that they are a true AVEDA salon and follow traditional AVEDA rituals, such as scalp massage before cuts, hand massage at washings and hot stones for brow waxes. Kuddos!

Im a big fan of Caruh! When I moved to Seattle, I had a hard time finding someone to color my hair. The highlights would be too patchy or the color would be off. So glad I found Jessica at Caruh. She understands my hair and Im always happy with the color. She takes the time to really understand what you are looking for and has helped me improve the health of my hair. I also really enjoy the Caruh experience; from the warm tea when you walk in to the complimentary hand and neck massage during your appointment. There is plenty of parking under the building. Its also close to a future light rail stop.

If you need color and a cut, go for Tess. I needed a new color. Im really gray - almost white - and been doing the brown dye for too long. Got just what I wanted from Tess! A light wheat color overall that we can then transition with highlights over time to the no dye period Im embarking on... She did great and what other salons had said.... "Oh no you should be brown due to you skin tone". Well, skin tone aside, we all go gray at some point! Its just a matter of doing it gracefully.... Going back in 4-6 weeks where I was coloring before in 2-3 weeks! Very happy!

I called this place for a cut on a whim on Saturday, and they were able to schedule me that same day. Environment was very calming, they didnt push products, and gave nice massage. Kate Roche-Sudar was great, she listened to what cut I wanted, and gave her suggestions. I emphasized that I wanted a very low maintenance cut (wash and go), and thats what I got, but it suited me better than my previous cut. Kate was skilled and detail oriented, and her adjustments after the cut on dry hair really gave a polished finish. Im looking forward to going back in half a year.

I have been getting my hair colored, highlighted and cut here by Jessica and Juliet for 3+ years. Sure, Ive tried other places in Seattle but Caruh is by far the best! Jessica is extremely knowledgeable about new and exciting coloring techniques! Believe me, under this awesome color I am " snow white" and only Jessica knows. The permanent color lasts well and doesnt fade. Juliet is a master at making my mane behave and she gives me cuts that are are easy to care for. I let them decide whats best but they are so good at taking input. They are absolutely the BEST!
