Beehive Salon

I stopped in for a quick bang trim and Erika did a great job! I have fine thin hair so it can be a problem getting it to style well but I was really happy with the way it turned out :)

When I say I will never forget Shannon and Laura from the Beehive salon for the rest of my life, that is not an exaggeration. THESE WOMEN SAVED MY LIFE AND MY HAIR.

First caveat, this is the weirdest accident that has ever happened to me and it was awful. To make a VERY long story short, I had a fluke accident when a pronged home decor item on my bathroom wall got caught in my hair while I was washing my face. When I first realized it was stuck, I figured soaking my hair in the tub with conditioner would loosen it. It did not. In fact, it made it so much worse and matted that it wound tighter to my head and I had to wait overnight until any salon was open the next day to assist. It was mortifying and very painful. The knotted up matting was so tangled at the crown of my head and I was positive I'd have to cut my very long hair off, something that I absolutely didn't want as I am one of those ridiculous people that has a very strong emotional connection to my hair.

I called many salons in the neighborhood for help and the one that did have an appointment was a male barber shop and I just knew that wasn't the right place for me as I was having this total mental breakdown at the thought of being bald. I called the Beehive salon and talked to the ANGEL that is the front desk receptionist Daniela. She told me there were no appointments that day but she could hear the anxiety and sadness in my voice so after we hung up, she immediately texted me asking for a picture of the tangle and what it was stuck on. I sent it over and once she saw it, she informed me that Laura would be able to try to help. I was so thankful.

Once I headed into the salon, Laura assessed the situation with such kindness, compassion and patience. I could tell from the look on her face that this tangle was BAD. But, she told me she is an avid jigsaw puzzle enthusiast so she would apply that expertise to this delicate situation. She then spent the next 8 hours meticulously pulling each strand of hair out of this tangle. She had to strategically snip some pieces and had to enlist the salon owner, Shannon, to help as they needed a second set of hands because this knot was so bad. Again, I was an emotional WRECK and the prongs were digging into my scalp so the physical pain was not helping either. Laura and Shannon spent time just talking through what was happening, being positive about the outcome, and patiently being supportive while I cried as I saw heaps of my hair on the floor. They even made sure to sweep up the hair every 30 minutes so I wouldn't see the copious amount of hair on the floor and have a full on panic attack. I think I asked them both if the decor item was going to come out of my hair about 32541 times and their response was, "You won't be leaving here with that on your head". The comfort they gave me was something I'll NEVER forget.

Laura and Shannon worked TIRELESSLY standing on their feet in order to strategically cut strands to minimize me having to cut off all of my hair, and combing out the tangles once the hair was free from the prongs. Seven hours after I got to the salon, they were successfully able to remove the piece from my hair. All of the patrons at the salon who had been witnessing me crying with pain and anxiety all afternoon erupted in applause and that moment was something I'll never forget. Laura and Shannon then washed and deep conditioned my hair. It was only then that Laura told me that this tangle was one of the worst she has seen in her long career and when I walked in, she was certain I would have to cut my hair.

I was so thankful that both her and Shannon kept their cool and were so patient in taking this out because they knew just how traumatized I was. By nothing short of a miracle, once my hair was brushed and conditioned, it turned out I didn't need to cut my hair at all. I was in awe. Truly. All of this is because of Laura and Shannon. I will never forget their kindness, compassion and patience. These two are true hair guardian angels and the gratitude and appreciation I have for them simply cannot be put into words. I think I told them I loved them about 20 times that day and I still don't think that was enough to express how thankful I am. Laura, Shannon and Daniela at Beehive are the most wonderful people and while I am sad we had to meet under such catastrophic circumstances, I'm so thankful that I walked into Beehive that day. I know no other salon would have been able to fix this nightmare both tactically, but also emotionally. Beehive Salon, I love you forever and always.

I came here for a perm and a cut, and I had the best time, the most excellent result, and scheduling is no hassle. Parking is a nightmare in this area of Seattle, but it's no fault of the business. Laura is a fantastic stylist and she did a great job bringing my hair dreams to life!

erika is a master of fine hair. she gave my straight, fine, thin and limp hair a lovely, easy-maintenance look. when i told her i do not like to style my hair, and prefer a wash and go cut, she delivered. many stylists have used product, tools and techniques to give my hair a great finished look...but one that i cannot replicate at home. erika used a dash of aveda volumizing tonic and a diffuser to gently dry and scrunch my hair, producing a finish that mimicked air drying. i was able to recreate the look at home easily. although the "fantasy" look is fun, i appreciated her focus on reality, so that i did not end up disappointed a few days later. thank you, erika, for your attention to my preferences, and beautiful detail!

Tristain's the best. Great cut, considerate, fun to talk with. The front desk staff are always nice, too.

Just moved to the neighborhood and went to Beehive for the first time. It was really easy and straight forward to book and choose your stylist online before I went in. I love the fact that we don't have to wear to masks inside if we are vaccinated. For their cute deco and friendly staffs, I am coming back.

Charlie did an incredible job transforming my hair! Thank you We did a 4 hour color correction and these were the results. Couldn't thank you enough!

Beehive Salon is no longer in Tangletown.

I have gone to them twice - each experience was pleasant. One time was before COVID, the second time was during.

Both times I was promptly greeted by the receptionist and offered water. The salon smells amazing, they have quality products for sale in front (the same products they use on their customers).

I've only ever gotten my hair cut, I've never used their other services. Both haircuts have been amazing, the women who provided the services were friendly, and I would happily trust anyone they employ.

I love Beehive! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. Tristan does my hair and from cuts to coloring I always get lots of compliments. He is also very friendly and truly cares about his clients. I have often felt pressured to buy products at other salons but that has never happened here. Great place!

I moved back to Seattle after 30 years in NYC and luck lead me to Tristan (I followed him to Beehive from another salon). Tristan is skillful and creative. He shares ideas and then asks what I want. I love hearing about possibilities - sometimes I go for a new do or color, sometimes I don't. I always leave Tristan's chair feeling fabulous, delighted with my look, and pampered. Red is a difficult color to maintain, so all you redheads (or red-curious!) folx out there, your mane will be gorgeous after a session with Tristan.
