Hive BE Salon

Brooke is amazing. I originally came for a cut from a groupon and Brooke totally reinvented my long boring straight hair with a cute layered cut I loved. I’ve always wanted to go pink and we talked about doing a rose gold type pink on my blonde hair. I couldn’t get that idea out of my head and scheduled for a pink color a month later. It’s fantastic. So light, subtle, and it’s fading beautifully.
Other than Brooke’s mad skills, go back for the fun conversation and personal atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and Brooke has amazing experience. I will definitely go back!
(Also, Effie, the other hairstylist who has been there while I was there seems awesome and she is fun! I would see her with confidence as well)

Cher is my hair-​angel! She is consistently spectacular, and when she had an emergency, Brooke covered my cut, and she was awesome too! You cannot go wrong at this Salon.

You must go see Effie! She does fabulous work! After living in multiple cities and trying to find the right fit for me in terms of stylist she’s definitely «the one». She easily gave me the best cut and color of my life. Bonus Points: she’s a total foodie and recommends some of the coolest places. She’s super chill and awesome and I look forward to seeing her for my next cut/​color!

B-​r-​o-​o-​k-​e.
I cannot make my point simpler. This woman is magic. She gets you, she does sassy sorcery on your tresses. I went in for a cut and color before a job interview and I know Brooke’s magic is the reason I got the second interview.
She took me from ratty hair down to my lower back to shoulder length classy-​sassy-​gorgeousness.
I am happy to say I have finally found my stylist.
Y’all…go friggin’ visit Brooke.

Effie is absolutely amazing. I’ve been coming to her for a couple years and I followed her from Mode Organic, where she previously worked, to Hive BE, which is her own space.
The space is perfect for 2 stylists, though I’ve only ever been there when it has just been myself and Effie. I think that goes to show that they are well-​coordinated in not over-​booking appointments and that they ensure each client is given enough attention and care to get the service just right.
Effie is incredibly knowledgeable and does a terrific job. I have had full highlights and balayage treatments, as well as cuts, done with Effie and I’ve loved the outcome every time. Effie is also fun and makes you feel super comfortable so that you are relaxed and can really enjoy the entire experience.
The prices are fair and the service is outstanding. I highly recommend Effie and Hive BE to anyone looking to have just about anything done to their hair!

Effie is superlative! She’s been helping me tame my unruly coif for a couple of years now, and I always leave feeling beautiful. She just added some color (first time for me in nearly a decade) and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!
Plus, Effie is just a delightful person to hang out with while she’s working her magic!

well I can’t really talk about the experience of getting my hair done here because their lack of coordination sucks.
I called to make an appointment and talked to her about how I wanted to get my hair cut and colored. Since my hair has been dyed red it would be a good idea to come in for a consultation. I made sure they had time between the dates that I wanted to get my hair done and they had a time slot.
I came in that very day that I called for a consultation and the hair stylist was working on someone and was 20 minutes late for my appt., WTF. Plus, she asked me if I wanted to come in either 4:15 or 4:30 (I chose 4:30) so if I chose the other time would I have waited 35 minutes just for a simple consultation? well, I was pretty annoyed at that point but I pushed on through. We talked about my hair and came to a decision, then she checked her schedule and she said all she had was an appoint a week after what we discussed. I asked her what happened to the other time… «it got booked» uhh… I wouldn’t have wasted my time coming here if you couldn’t have done it at the time we discussed, at least hold it if I was coming in that same day.
They «apologized» kinda and said they’ll call me if they have a cancellation either in the evening or weekend. Ummm… I have a life and I’m a busy person. Horrible.

This Hive is the best! I’ve seen Cher several times now. She’s talented, kind-​hearted and surprisingly affordable in this expensive city. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed, and Cher’s warmth makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I can’t recommend her enough!

BROOKE!!! Where do I even begin! I have stuck with the same hairstylist who is a personal friend of mine for the last 4 years and of course I get the «hookup» however our schedules hadn’t been syncing and 9 months had past and I got to that stage where you feel like a stay at home cat mom (no offense) and my hair looked like a mop on my head! I was apprehensive to try someone new and ofcourse to spend a little bit more money when ive been so used to the «homie hookup». Well let me tell you… IT WAS WORTH IT! My hair could not have turned out more perfect. She literally took what I had imagined in my head and made it a reality. She is so talented and outgoing and a blast to just chat with over a glass of wine! By far the most talented hairstylist Ive had and I will be sticking with her for life! Ive already had several friends ask about my stylist and where I get my hair done at! Her knowledge of hair along with her honesty makes for the perfect outcome. You will leave here feeling like a million bucks!

Had the best experience today with Effie!!! It’s so hard to find someone that listens and produces just what you want. Today was that day for me!!! I am so happy that after 3 years in Seattle I have found the perfect hair salon

Amazing! Go see Effie!
I’m a natural blonde but being in Seattle and obviously in no sunshine, my hair tends to get a lot darker especially at the roots. I’ve never colored my hair before, mostly because I’ve always lived in sunny areas and have had the sun do the coloring for me. I had no idea where to go for highlights, so seeing the amazing reviews for Hive BE I made an appointment with Effie. And Oh My Gosh! Best decision ever. I told her I wanted highlights because my roots were so dark but I wanted it to look like how my hair does in the summer and not included any brassy tones. Wow, I was so in love with the end result! Came out looking so natural and amazing! It’s been about two weeks since I got it done and I still can’t get over how good it looks! Not only did my hair turnout fabulous but Effie is so fun!!! She’s not one of the hairdressers who awkwardly tries and make small talk and eventually ins out of things to say, so you two just sit in silence til the job is done, but she is so easy and fun to talk to and really makes the experience so enjoyable! If you are worried about what salon to chose, go to Hive BE and your worries will be solved.

This review is a long time coming. Seriously, every morning I wonder how Brooke manages to find a way to cut my thick head of hair in such a way that fixing it is a breeze. Brooke is a magical hair tamer and you are wasting your time and money going elsewhere… so just stop already!

Best Service Ever.
Brooke: It was not in my original plan to continue coming here after my first time since I live in Carnation. However, Brooke had me hooked after my first appointment! She is professional, the most knowledgeable stylist ever, and a true artist. You can tell she loves what she does and takes pride in her work. Her hair always looks amazing and my hair has never looked better. Not only that, she has a sparkling personality. I enjoy our conversations so much that I am always surprised when the appointment is over!
Effie: Great! I was forced to try out different stylists when Brooke was out for two of my appointments and I was pleasantly surprised. Like Brooke, Effie took the time to listen to what I wanted and made suggestions using her expertise.

I got my first cut and color from Effie a few weeks ago. It’s been over a month and every day, I absolutely love my hair. She really read my mind exactly on the cut and color. I have a dark balayage on Asian hair, and she suggested I use blue shampoo for silver hair to reduce the brassiness. Why didn’t anyone tell me this before? Her advice worked like a charm and I love how the color looks even 5 weeks since the color. I’m so glad I found Effie! I also like the space a lot and it felt really relaxing.

Just had a cut/​color done at Hive BE — it was great! Effie is very personable and easy to talk to and I loved the cute, comfortable vibe of the salon. Super happy with how my hair turned out and the experience overall. Do yourself a favor and go to Hive BE — highly recommended!

I loved my experience at Hive BE. I saw Effie for a cut and color and really wasn’t super clear on what I wanted. She was able to do a consultation with me, figure out what I was asking for and deliver. I love the way it turned out and the pricing was reasonable as well. Plus their space is really cute and Effie is super fun to be around. Would highly recommend.

Effie is amazing! I’ve been following Effie in salons in Seattle for a few years now, and I’m excited for her that she now owns her own salon. My hair is long AND really healthy, including the ends. My hair has never looked so good! She really listens to what I want, offers me suggestions and then puts it to work. She’s fast and thorough and so enjoyable to chat with during the process. Her salon is very private yet large, only two hair chairs, so we can listen to cool music, chat, do whatever. Very intimate if you don’t like having to hear everyone else’s conversations/​talking above each other. Also, no pressure to buy anything, but she does sell Loma which is one of my fave products. You will leave with your hair looking and feeling fabulous.

Effie is the best stylist; my hair got damaged from another hair stylist who tried to balayage my hair and ended up frying it. My friend introduced me to Effie who brought my hair back to life. After that Effie has been the only person I trust with my hair. She uses product that won’t damage and does an amazing job. Not to mention Effie is just fun to be around. There is nothing like getting you hair done by such a sweet person — you’ll leave with a smile on your face. I trust Effie to make my hair look great and keep it healthy.

Love this new Salon! I had a cut and color/​highlights with Brooke. Brooke is so talented! You know how hard it is to find someone that can do a great blonde… I look amazing and she was a blast to hang out with! I’ll be back!

Love Effie Parks… she’s a talented stylist/​colorist and an all around wonderful person.
Studio BE, her new salon, is great too. Very nice environment. Bonus… parking was easy to find!
