Lee Bockland does the best color in town, possibly on the west coast. His attention to detail makes every one of his clients look their "natural" best.
The most professional service. Extremely courteous staff who will go out of their way for you, and provide the most friendly service from the moment you walk in. I no longer live in the US, but always book myself for an appointment whenever I am in town. Absolutely the best anywhere!

Far and away the best cut and color I have ever had. I have never been more than 100% satisfied with my hair since becoming a customer at Gary Manuel.
I travel all the way from Portland for a cut and color by Tsophia. She is fabulous and everyone at the salon is friendly and a fun group to be around. This salon is a MUST for everyone.

Well trained staff, friendly, timely, up to date, and wonderful. Have seen Gary for years, but sometimes need to schedule with other stylist. Good record keeping and consistency. Well managed and just plan great!
Face it, I've got "difficult" hair. Fine, but thick. Wavy, not curly. And completely non-pigmented. With Gary in charge of my head, the color is so good it looks like it grew that way from the roots. People are actually surprised that I color my hair -- and beneath that great color job, it's completely white. I don't know how I'd get by without them.
Trully the best haircut and color I have ever had!! (I'm very picky). The entire experience starts when walking in the door, friendly and helpful staff.
I searched a long time before I found a salon that could really do color well. Gary Manuel is it!
I have been going to the Gary Manuel Salon since it first opened its doors. Two years ago I moved out of state yet continue to fly into Seattle for all my hair care needs. It is quite simply, THE BEST!
The Gary Manuel Salon's committment to service and excellence has been proven time and time again. They show everytime I visit that it is all about the client. And...you cannot go wrong with Alex. She is very talented and creative.
Gary Manuel gives consistently great service! I finally found a place that I will never have to worry again about getting a bad cut or color. It's so fabulous!
Once you visit Gary Manuel you willl understand why they have been nominated for Best of Western Washington. Aside from the AMAZING color work that happens here EVERY client is made to feel like they are the most important customer.
I found my stylist, Opal, at the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute a few years ago and followed her to Gary Manuel Phase 3 Salon. I live in Colorado now but due to a few commitments at home in Seattle this past year I still go to Opal to get my color and cuts done. She most recently gave me the most awesome purple streak in front - I really don't trust my hair to any salon but Gary Manuel I've seen another stylist at Gary Manuelwhen Opal was away, and also had great results. awesome color every time! I get tons of compliments. Keep up the good work!
I was given the best hair cut and color I have ever had in my life when I went to this salon about a year ago, and that has been the case every month since that first appointment. Theresa Gackle and the rest of the staff have been awesome!
I loved my experience with Gary Manuel, I think I could have gone a little bolder with the color, but I was very happy with the result.
With superior customer satisfaction, excellent colorists, fabulous hair stylists and amazing products, Gary Manuel is worth my drive from south King County. Parker and Chris have given me sensational hair cuts (every six weeks) and perfect color (every three weeks) for over a year! Kudos to them and the entire staff at Gary Manuel's for excellence!
The very best hair coloring I've ever had! Listened to what I wanted, made some suggestions, and resulted in exactly what I wanted!
Gary Manuel's service is always technically excellent and customer service oriented. The best!
The hair color process is superb. Stephen is a great colorist with years of experience. A real pro!
Supremely professional - great services and authentic, attentive, friendly people! I always feel pampered and appreciated. I always recommend Katrin and the salon to anyone looking for color, cut - AND I think they're prices are very reasonable for the quality of experience they provide!
they were excellent!! Mya who did my hair is phenemonal! She knew exactly what I wanted. It's like she were reading my mind! The staff is awesome and very friendly as well.
The Gary Manuel Salon sets the standard for every other salon in town when it comes to having a staff of real professionals who know and love what they're doing. I completely appreciate the attention to every detail for any color or cut I've ever gotten. Believe me, there have been plenty throughout the years. I always look so much better walking out their door, then when I walked in.
Excellent service, like a fine restaurant. My haircuts have been superb, and my wife's cuts and coloring are the best!
Love going to Heather for a cut and color. She has a good eye for color and hair style.
Lee did the best cut and color job on my blond hair that I've ever had. Plus, it's lasted me a year and a pregnancy! Well worth it.
These people are really snotty.
They don't do a bad job, but they overprice nearly everything. If you're looking to have a good relationship with your hair dude or dudette, I don't suggest looking here. I can get the same color + cut (and actually have a conversation with my hair stylist) for much less somewhere else.
