Swoop Salon

Kristina is so wonderful! I’ve had so many bad hair experiences that I actually gave up and stopped coloring my hair for a while. A gal that I worked with recommended Kristina and her hair always looked great, so I gave her a shot. I am so glad I did! She really listened to what I was looking for and did a beautiful job. I have been going to her for over a year now and could not be happier.
The entire salon staff is very friendly, and it is a great space. Their prices are reasonable– pretty comparable to other salons I have been to. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Michelle is absolutely amazing, I recommend her to anyone who is in need of a good wax. I have thick and some what difficult eye brows, and she shapes them perfectly. She makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk into the salon and throughout your whole service. She is also great for Brazilian waxes and facials as well. :) The salon is clean and everyone who works there is happy and friendly. It makes waxing, a not so painful experience!

Michelle has been my aesthetician for 2 years and I would not go anywhere else. She is excellent at waxing and facials, including an amazing back facial that I’ll never forget! I highly recommend her and her services.

I went to swoop salon to see Kalyn for my balayage. I’ve been seeing Kalyn for the past 5 years. She’s a perfectionist when it comes to my hair and I have never been disappointed. She mimicked a color that I showed her in a picture and I left the salon with a gorgeous new do. She’s my most favorite colorist and has been for years. Go see her, you won’t regret it!

Kim is the best! She cuts my hair and has for 10+ years

Michelle provides great waxing services, she’s professional and efficient. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!

Kristina is amazing!!! It’s been a very long time since I’ve had such amazing color. She was so nice and the salon is very clean.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Kristina! I have naturally dark hair and I like being light blonde. I have had some really awful highlights done previous to seeing Kristina. Kristina not only perfected my color and got me to the right shade of blonde but she consistency does an amazing job! I completely trust her with my hair and could not be happier about finding her. I have never received so many compliments on my hair color. She is truly talented! In addition to all of this, she is just plain fun to be around! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!

Won’t go anywhere else! Kaylene is the best!

I went to Swoop Salon today for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Kristina did my highlights and Kate did my haircut and I am very happy with the outcome. They were both very nice and fun to talk to. They also had great ideas to share on healthier hair. I will definitely be back!

Kim rocks both my color and cut! She is as good as it gets. Super personable. I always have a great experience and am completely pleased when I leave. Highly, highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.
Tiffany has done my brows for over 10 years now. I will not allow anyone else to touch them. I like my brows fuller than most and she shapes them exactly how I want them. Her attention to detail is impeccable and conversation flows so easily, before you know it, you’re out the door with perfectly groomed brows. Best in Seattle, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m visiting from NYC and needed to get waxed, which is always nerve racking when going to a complete stranger. Tiffany is amazing, I rank her with the best in NY. She’s a champion of fuller eyebrows, and if you’re like me and am still trying to grow them out from the 90’s you’ll def appreciate her! She’s thorough, quick, and a great conversationist!

I’ve been going to Swoop for 3 or 4 years and realized I’ve never written a review. Should I? It’s hard enough to get in now. I’ll just make it harder on myself. But it deserves another fan review. Annie is quick — I wish the experience lasted longer — but I’ve never looked so good. The place is relaxed and comfortable. The people who work there seem to be genuinely happy and good at what they do. It’s expensive but on a par with what other good salons cost.

Looks like Tiffany has fans! I’m not surprised she’s amazing at her craft. I’ve gotten my brows and some other things waxed by her since her days at Cristy Carner.
I’ve had issues everywhere I went to as far as my eyebrows go, before Tiffany was referred to me. I like my brows a bit thicker than the norm, cleaned up and slightly shaped. When I went to other places, I looked like freaking ronald mcdonald or an asian prostitute. I’ve been to the salons where English is obviously the last language they could possibly speak, to even getting threaded when I was visiting home in Orange County. I always came out with 20% of my brows left and 110% pissed off.
Tiffany has been my savior ever since. I will grow a caterpillar on my face if I can’t get in with Tiff before I go to anyone else. PS Tiff, if you’re reading, I’m the one who said Bob Dylan was playing at Bumbershoot!

I have been a client of Tiffany’s for about 5 years both at Swoop and Cristy Carner. Hands down, Tiffany is the best aesthetician I’ve had and I feel lucky to have found her. She makes you feel at ease, has a great sense of humor, and most important — is very gentle. If you’re the type of woman that is slightly uncomfortable getting a bikini wax — she is the person to see. And I absolutely recommend booking a facial — it’s better than a massage. It will relax you for days.

Just like Jean, I am a huge fan of Tiffany! I also have been seeing her for several years while she was a Christy Carner Salon in Fremont. I now happily drive from one side of Seattle to the other to see her at Swoop. She is a waxing extraordinaire and her facials are wonderful, plus she is always fun to talk to and the time flies. I swear she has figured out how to chat so you don’t notice the pain with the pulls of the hair! I even talked to my sister into coming when she had a beach vacation and had to get some business taken care of and had never waxed before. Tiffany made it a positive experience and my sis has since come back.
I also give rave reviews to Annie Fisher. I decided rather than split my time between Christy Carner Salon and Swoop, I’d go all the way and change hair stylists as well. While I miss those gals, I’m very happy with Annie. She listens to her clients and is very patient showing how to style your hair and maximize the color so it doesn’t fade as quickly.
Their online scheduling system is a godsend. Love being able to schedule services at anytime and not have to wait thru a Sunday and Monday to call to make an appointment when they’re open like other salons.

I’ve started going to Swoop ever since Kate, who cuts my hair, moved here from Christy Carner. She was totally worth following! She really listens to her clients, but also discusses her own creative input. I’ve always let her go for it as I trust her opinion, and I consistently get compliments on my hair. And most importantly, she knows how to do short hair that is feminine and sassy.
In addition, Kate has recommended that I see Christina at Swoop for my hair color. I am also a big fan of hers. The two of them work together to discuss the overall finished «do» and they are excellent.
Most importantly, they know customer service and I really appreciate the treatment they give to their customers. They are not one of the pushy sales people types; they tell you about the products when you express interest. And they are professional and personable which makes the time at the salon enjoyable.

Swoop is AWESOME!!! Kim the owner is always changing the small boutique space and it keeps getting better and better!!! It’s great to go to a salon that is innovative and keeps up on ever changing fashion and style the way they do! I can really tell they take that extra effort with all there clients (not just me) to make them feel special. Karstin usualy cuts my hair but I’ve had Kim do it as well and I always get a great consultation and cut. They are awesome.

This review is for Tiffany Schleder, an esthetician I’ve been going to for over 5 years, once a month, for the same services: a spa facial, and waxing (including brows). She recently moved to Swoop from Cristy Carner down in Fremont, and I’m a loyal follower! Where Tiffany goes, I go!
As I’ve pointed out in my previous review, I live in Issaquah, so making the long trek out to Seattle (University District) should speak volumes about how much I love Tiffany’s services.
I usually book my appointments at least a month in advance, and I would suggest you try to do the same. Weekday appointments are a bit easier to come by. One added benefit of having Tiffany at Swoop is that the spa/​salon has an online booking system. It can be a little confusing, but it’s quick and bypasses the need to call and speak to the receptionist. However, if you’re the old-​fashioned type, Swoop does have a receptionist there during daytime business hours (I believe 9 – 5 or somewhere around there). The receptionist is not available during ALL of the salon’s business hours, so be aware of that.
I first saw Tiffany as she was starting her career as an esthetician at Cristy Carner Salon & Spa. She had some ridiculously awesome prices for facials, so I took the bait, and boy have I been hooked!
Obviously, the prices are higher now since Tiffany is now a seasoned veteran in the biz, but her facials are worth every penny!
The facials start out with a moisturizing paraffin dip for your hands, then a steam bath for your face, and Tiffany does a consultation of your skin’s current condition. It’s never exaclty the same, depending on what your skin needs. Then, she performs the usual facial cleansing, extractions, etc… and the best part comes, the MASSAGE! Tiffany has put me to sleep so many times with the facial massage. I can’t even begin to describe how heavenly it is! The massage ends with a hand & arm massage. By this time, I’m so relaxed, I barely notice when Tiffany slips out of the room for 5 – 10 minutes of «quiet time» for more relaxation.
The facial ends with a purifying /​moisturizing /​oil-​absorbing (depending on what you need) masque… then, you’re good to go! But you don’t really want to go, because you’re so relaxed.
I could go on and on… but overall, I love, love, love Tiffany and I’ve never had a bad experience! HIGHLY recommend a facial with her, especially if you’ve never had a facial or if you’ve only had facials at commercial spas such as Gene Juarez. GJ has its time and place, but for superior service, Tiffany Schleder is a must.
(Just as a note, some of this was lifted from my previous review, but the words still hold true!)

Hubby and I have been going here for several years (We’re very loyal to our stylist Annie — she’s amazing!) Great location — easy to get to, nice vibe, great service. Nice to find a salon that’s modern but yet not pretentious.
