The Saranac salon

May 2022

My color was drab/brassy and my hair had no shape. I grew it out like a security blanket but wasn't really taking care of it. Anne brought life and dimension back into the color with some subtle highlights. Then she trimmed off the dead ends and added layers that help my hair fall nicely so I can add a little product and let it dry naturally! Highly recommend. Plus, the salon is super cute. ☺️

Shout out to my first hairstylist, Maggie! This review is coming from Seattle, 7 years after I met this maestro. I hold Maggie in high regard, with her decades of experience, patience and expertise. I'm from India and my hair is long, black, curly and frequently frizzy. I'm also the customer who asks all the questions about the tiniest of details. Before meeting Maggie, I routinely used Keratin treatments, Japanese straightening, etc. to improve my hair texture. I've had a Keratin treatment maybe 3 times, since. Maggie taught me how to care for my hair and transformed the way I perceived my hair: from hiding/changing it to flaunting it, au naturale. After a few sessions with Maggie, she remains the one person I would give boundless reign over my hair. At our last session, I asked for a drastic cut and wanted short hair. I'd shied away, with a round face and two unflattering short hair cuts with terrible transitions to longer. Not so in Maggie's hands. My length went from just below my low back to just below my shoulders. It grew out beautifully and I received more compliments than I could have expected. I have fondly come to think of Maggie as the cool mad-scientist of hair. This woman oozes 'cool' and is fiercely kind. It did my soul wonders to be around her. What really set her apart was how well she listened and the expert, uncritical guidance she offered. She is fearless, empowering, and somehow highlights inner beauty with a haircut. As always, I wish you only the best Maggie, xx Minnu
