8. Nola

1090 N Northlake Way, Seattle • Fremont

Matt Shobe - Brandon is awesome for men's cuts; I've been going to him since I moved here in 2009. As he's the owner, you'd sure hope so — but he's an excellent guy who knows how to listen, interpret, and give you the exact cut you want with a little bit of flair. Shop has a chill vibe, is dog friendly, and a convenient Fremont location.

Alicia Nakamoto - Jenny and Brandon are amazing hair stylists and Jenny specializes in color.

Scott Haug - Brandon is old-school enough to get my Dad's seal of approval. He's good with kids and my wife has no complaints when I get home from one of my 1:1s with him.

Devon - Erin Bradford is a wonderful stylist. She is very meticulous and provides guidance for what kind of style will work best for you.

Robin Warren - Cut (Laura), color (Anjanette) and brows (Angela Castagnola)--all perfect, all artists

Liz Pearce +1 for Apollo Nails, I also love Sen Salon in Madison Valley.

Jessica M Shapiro Sen Salon in Madison Valley is my favorite. They are closed on Tuesdays, so a good back up is Apollo Nails.

Erin Kelley Sen Salon is the best kept secret in Seattle! Clean, personalized service, and great selection. Woman owned and operated with fantastic staff. Very community oriented. I've tried others, but can't find anywhere that competes!

Aileenie Gurat Hi Sue! Most of the old tattoos were done too deep and they used ink instead of the pigment which is what We use for microblading and microshading today! Microblading vs Microshading are very similar it really just depends on the look you are going for and what your brows are currently look like. During your appointment or consult with your artist they will definitely give you their expert suggestions! Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you

Liesl Alice Gatcheco Hi Sue - I’m Liesl Gatcheco, the owner of Eyebrowbaby Microblading + Beauty in Ballard. The art form has come a long way since the days of brows turning gray or blue. The pigments used now are made to fade over 1-2 years as our faces change and styles change as well. Gone are the thin brows of the 90’s and full brows are what we see all over Instagram. My approach to microblading/microshading is very natural. I consider facial structure, hair growth patterns, lifestyle and each clients personal preference. It’s all about communication and I usually am pretty conservative for your first appointment unless told otherwise. At the touch up, I can go in to make your browns darker and fuller as needed. The microblading technique applies hair like strokes to the brows and microshading fills in the entire brow for a “powdered” look, as if you filled in your brows with a pencil or eyeshadow. Please let me know if I can answer any more questions for you. The only complaint you’ll have after getting it done is questioning why you didn’t do it any sooner! Cheers!

Sue Bae Thanks so much for the info! I appreciate you taking the time.
