Swink Style Bar

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Beautiful layout, nice location and the best products around for haircare. The front desk was friendly and accommodating. Liv was fantastic! Used great products, was open to feedback, took direction well and was patient. Highly recommend!

I visited Swink as I needed to book hair and make up last minute for my maternity photo sessions. They were able to fit me in, and did an amazing job- I felt beautiful and have photos to show for it. I have booked MUA professionals to come to my house in the past, but this option was more affordable, and they did an excellent job- will definitely book again for future needs. I had to get my hair and makeup done hours before, and the hair stylist and MUA did a great job making sure my hair and makeup would last.

Such a perfect experience! Ashley did an amazing job, friendly, fun and talented group!!

I have had three services done at Swink and two out of three were beyond disappointing. One makeup service with someone in September (unfortunately I am forgetting her name) but it was amazing, which is why I went back. A blow out I received was subpar (also forgetting the name of the stylist as this also happened in September and it doesn't seem to be written in the confirmation emails). The experience wasn't terrible but definitely wasn't warm and welcoming. The end result was just mediocre. But a few hours after my scalp was left burning. Not sure what products were used but they were not gentle, they were also not applied gently. The third more recent service I had two days ago was AWFUL, and what prompted me to write this review. I had a makeup service with Zenaya. She did not really listen to what I was wanting and was pushy with how she wanted to apply the makeup. Too many "you shoulds." She started by putting a cleaner on my face (it smelled like alcohol but I don't think it was, but it was harsh). Then she proceeded to put foundation on.. with no moisturizer or primer or product underneath. The end result looked terrible. I didn't love it in the salon but was hoping it was the lighting. I walked outside and looked in a mirror and it was blotchy any streaky. I have had children do a better job at applying make up (this is mean but true). I was so disappointed and frustrated that a professional could do the job that she did. I am also upset that I spent money to go home and wash it off and redo it. I truly do not recommend this salon, there are many better options in Seattle.

Very friendly staff, unfortunately the blowdry I received was sup-par. I asked for big and bouncy and got limp and lifeless. It would have also been nice to have a more comfortable sink too, my neck hurt after and there was no offer of a drink which I always appreciate in salons.
