STYLIST & I

A good hairstylist is worth his or her weight in gold, and Nicholas is no exception. He has been cutting my hair for several years now, and every time I am extremely impressed with his work. He has a preternatural ability to sculpt hair, there is no other way to put it. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found such a talented artist. And, if his skill wasn’t enough, he is a genuine delight to be around.

Theresa, one of the owners/​operators of Stylist & I, always makes me feel like a queen! Not only is it such a relief to have a stylist I can discuss details with (like whether I want more curl or thicker lashes or have an allergy), but she is very skilled and provides a comfortable atmosphere.
I haven’t dyed my hair in over a decade, so I thought trying some highlights would be fun! She suggested Balayage highlights for a no-​maintenance look that would grow with my hair and not need touch-​ups. She also added a lowlight since I was nervous about wanting dimension. Take a look at these before and after pictures!
She also does my lashes regularly, and she keeps only the highest quality lashes and adhesives on deck. My wife says I look like a princess every time. Go see Theresa and treat yo’self!

Theresa did my color and it was great. Never has my hair been so vibrant. She is a hair color genius!

5 STARS!
Theresa is certified and trained very well! I know this because I’ve been serviced by her twice! And with every time I am impressed! Her classic lashes are flawless! No glue clumps or anything, and she specifically lashes one lash to one synthetic lash. I myself is also a lash technician so I know what a good set looks like, So I guess you can say I am picky picky picky. Picky with the artist and picky with a certain way it looks.
My second time was amazing as well, she added some volume to my lashes, and now I am glam, I love my flirty eyes! I will be posting a picture!
Go see her! You will not regret it!

Theresa is really good with color, listens to what you want and has great suggestion’s.

Theresa is the best! I used to regularly go to Gene Juarez and I’m a convert. I will never go anywhere else.
Theresa is friendly, funny, and the girl knows hair!
I come for haircuts and today I had my first ever Brazilian Blowout. Oh my goodness, my hair is so silky and bouncy, I love it.
Go see Theresa and you’ll never want to see another stylist… trust me :)

Love this salon! Nicholas knows his stuff. He is consistent and knowledgeable.
I really like the product line and the location is very convenient.
I’ll be back ;)

This place is awesome! I always leave happy with gorgeous and healthy hair. Theresa always makes sure I know exactly what she is going to do with my hair and she gives me great advice on how to keep my hair healthy! Love coming here. Nicholas and Theresa always make me feel like I am a friend rather than just a client. I always look forward to my appointments here!

I’ve never been able to find a stylist I could continuously go to. FINALLY the search is over. Theresa is not only amazing at what she does but she’s also cool, kind and charismatic! I went from an all natural jet black hair to an ashy blonde! I didn’t even know my hair could look so pretty, I’m so happy with my hair :)
I’m so fortunate in finding a perfect stylist! See you soon Theresa!

Stylist & I is terrific! I’ve followed Nicholas from previous salons and will continue to do so if he moves again. I always love the way my hair turns out. It’s not just the end result though. Nicholas is thoughtful in his recommendations and innovative in his style. He is considerate to my lifestyle and personal style and finds a great balance. Additionally, Nicholas is kind, funny, creative, and genuinely wonderful to be around. Theresa is also lovely. I’ve seen the results of her work and recommend her as well.

Lucky for me that my friend referred me to Theresa. Theresa is a talented designer who knows how to create flattering cuts and colors! You’ll be glad you went to her. By the way, my teenage daughter also loves Theresa’s haircuts! That just shows Theresa’s skills to work with a variety of customers.

Theresa is ah-​mazing! Super informative and fun to be around. If anyone needs color, book her!

Absolutely love both Theresa and Nicholas! I had never been to their salon before and they both welcomed me and my daughter with open arms! Their location is great and the salon is quaint and personal– not a fashion show contest to the person sitting next to you. In fact I found myself talking to everyone in the salon thus making me feel more welcome. I walked away happy as can be with my hair service and so did my daughter! We typically go to Gene Juarez or Seven and I will be going back to Stylist & I! Thank you for the red carpet service and amazing results Theresa!!! I love my Brazilian blowout and I have never been so in love with my hair before!!!

After moving to Seattle 4 years ago I had a lot of trouble finding a fantastic stylist that was an equal to my previous stylist of 7 years. After 6 stylists, bad cuts and terrible color, I finally found Theresa! My cuts are always perfect and the color is always amazing — better than my old stylist… shhhhh, don’t tell her. I had never received so many great compliments about my hair before and knew instantly that she was the one.
Located in the Aspira Building the salon is easy to find, adorable and relaxing. Theresa and Nicholas are always happy, friendly and very inviting. The service Theresa provides is very professional and personalized — I always feel like a VIP. The online booking is super easy too. Stylist and I also have great hair care products — which are never pushed on to me. They smell great and keep my hair healthy and beautiful.
I am so happy that Theresa is in my life.

How do you decide where to get your hair cut? I’m a damn adult, and I’ve still got no system– every time like the first time. Generally I’ll just do it myself, because it’s easy and free and if it’s bad at least I know who to take it out on (and if it’s good you can say «hey look what I accomplished» (though usually it’ll just be average)). Or maybe ask a friend, and if they botch it at least when you look at that terrible haircut you can be reminded of a person you really like (or used to).
There’s ‘walking around until something looks good’ (can’t advise for this one) or ‘browsing Unilocal’ or hey why not go to the one that hands you some candy and a card that just says «Does Your Hair Grow?» when you’re out attending errands. And then you turn the card over and it’s for 50% off a haircut. Do you really think I’m not going pick the one with «Does Your Hair Grow?» on the card and a deal like that? Do you even know me?
I guess it’s pretty new, hence the street candy etc, and there wasn’t yet a real sign. This was a couple weeks ago, so maybe there is one now. It was in the building and to the left, that’s what I was told. And guess what, it was true (there was a small, informal sign on the door so it wasn’t hard to find, but I just kept thinking «I wonder what that proper sign’ll be when it comes.» hey if you see it let me know). A real welcoming place. Candy on the street, refreshments when you arrive. That’s the Stylist way
THE HAIRCUT. Listen: you don’t want to hear the particulars of my haircut. You’ve got your own stuff to worry about. I had Theresa, and she did a great job with it. My hair’s got some challenges (somehow simultaneaously frizzy, flat, fluffy, dry, fine, wavy… coming up and out in strange angles… a real riddle), and she was able to identify those and make it all work. Basic, but sharp. Boy have I had some bad haircuts… Well this sure wasn’t one of them. And usually I have to wash my hair the night before I want it peak («gotta accept my Best Unilocal statuette tomorrow night, better bust the shampoo this evening»), but somehow this haircut I can take a shower in the morning and it looks good that day??? That’s new. She also gave me some tips about styling and upkeep, and they were good tips.
WORTH MENTIONING: I realized in the past couple years that I gotta get my hair cut dry for it to look good. Something happens when it’s cut wet– I have no idea. Some places are a little weird about this, but ultimately anyone will do it. Theresa did it, and didn’t seem weird about it, and the main thing is I still got the shampoo after the cut. That seems pretty basic, but sometimes when I ask for a dry cut, I get no shampooing at all! What? Hey isn’t that half the appeal of getting your hair cut at a place, the luxurious hair wash/​scalp massage? I think so, and I bet I’m not alone here. Afterward it was styled and I left looking great and guess what I still do today
I don’t have anything negative to say about this place. I got a great haircut at a good price plus snacks. OH AND you get a free touch-​up maintenance trim between cuts? I haven’t done this yet, and how does that even work? Don’t ask me. I’ve never heard of that one before.
Maybe everyone does it, how would I know? What am I, Chief of Salons? «Excuse me, I gotta go read the new issue of Scissors Weekly.» Not me, sister. I’m not up on the trends; I don’t know what goes on back there. I also don’t call people «sister,» but I felt like trying it on for a second. That one’s going back to the store, I can tell you that. Gonna go exchange it and this issue of Scissors I accidentally bought. Heck and this Scissor Sisters album too while I’m at it. You tell me I’m «filthy» and then later about you’re gonna take my mama out??? I don’t stand for that brand of irreverence. Show some respect, degrading my whole family tree over the course of your lyrics sheet. Shame on you.
Hey maybe someone will hand me some candy taped to a mysterious card while I’m getting that done.

(YO this was in my drafts for a while… I got that cut back in November. Feels like just yesterday… They probably have a sign and stuff now, and I ‘m way past due for a proper haircut so I guess I’ll find out soon enough)

Love Nicholas, he is the best color specialist and stylist I have ever had! My hair looks so beautiful and healthy thanks to him. I get compliments non stop about my hair. He’s a complete perfectionist and is truly dedicated to making his customers look their very best always. Can’t say enough about his new salon and his own line of products STYLIST AND I, you have to check it out!

I started going to Theresa for a quick cut. I am very picky with salons and in the past have not found one I liked to go to more than once. I know nothing about product, and never learned how to style my hair. I was quickly impressed with how she not only cut my hair, but took the time to teach and show me techniques on how to work with my hair. She even stuck to using the tools I have, saying we could work with what I have rather than me having to go out and buy a bunch of items such as a curling iron. Let me be clear in saying she did a wonderful job on my hair cut as well!
I then went in to get my hair died, and it turned out amazing! I am one of those people that have a hard time explaining what I want, I generally hope the stylist can help fill in the blanks for me. Theresa went to town, picking out the colors for me based on what I wanted the end result to be, and helped guide me in how large of chunks of color I wanted. Needless to say it turned out perfect, I would not have changed anything! Hair a dark brown with bright red highlights, it was exactly what I wanted with giving her little direction. Pictures coming soon!
I am also bad at setting appointments. What did she do in response to this? She already scheduled my next appointment time for me based on my work schedule which she already knows after two visits so I wouldn’t forget. I wholeheartedly recommend Theresa, she not only does what you want but ANTICIPATES your needs. And gives you wine while she works. :) Go to this salon and you will not be disappointed.

I wanted to try the Brazilian Blowout, but I was nervous. My hair is super curly and I wasn’t sure if it would work. Theresa gave me a short consultation and I took the plunge. After she treated my hair, I fell in love with the smoothness and shine. I floated on cloud 9 as I left the salon. After washing my hair I was pleasantly surprised to see smooth curls — not the frizzy ones I’ve battled all my life. Straightening with a flat iron takes half the time now.
I’ve seen Theresa for years. She is a talented and trustworthy stylist. I will be going back for more!

Nicholas an Theresa are amazing. It very relax an so comforting. It was very easy to get to but finding which door to go to was a little tricky. You must get through sola salons. I have only gone to Theresa for the past 5 years. I go Nicholas an he’s just as amazing as she is. If you use the online booking you get some great promos.

Nicholas is an amazing stylist. I always leave feeling amazing. He always have great tips and suggests things I would not have thought of. My hair cuts have always come out looking better than I had hoped for, not to mention the coloring is beautiful. Not only does he do great hair but he is always a blast to visit with while he’s working his magic on my hair. I cannot recommend him high enough.
