Many of my clients have some degree of silver or gray hair.  Some chose to cover it fully others to blend it with other tones while others prefer to let it be its natural self.  All of these are good options.  Silver hair is one color you can’t really create realistically.  Mother nature is the […]

The right fit…. a difficult thing to find whether you’re looking for a doctor, a dentist or a hair stylist. When you move to a new place, there is a whole slew of service professionals you need to help you feel connected and settled in. Here at Hair By Joey Salon Seattle, I consider myself blessed to be constantly meeting new people

Can we be really honest here for a second?  The fashion industry and Seattle really don’t have a lot in common.  It’s not that women in this town don’t know how to look great (because they do) and it’s not that they have no sense of style.  Seattle just embraces a different ethos than other

I recently watched a powerful documentary called Miss Representation ( http://bit.ly/MissRepTrailer) on dvd.  It is well worth seeing particularly if you are currently or are planning on raising girls in our goofy culture.  It’s a secular movie but the values and hopes it proposes are things I think all sane people can agree on.  It’s premise is that our

Ah, the end of summer. It’s bittersweet.  I mourn the passing of our all too few endless sunshiny days, but I get excited as my clients to return for their seasonal (and back-to-school) curly cuts. And, as always, when the damage from scorching heat and chemical-rich swimming pools sinks in, my curly clients will likely

You don’t need me to tell you times are tough.  They say hair salons are one of the last things to take a hit in a recession.  That and bars (so the story goes).  Over the last few lean years, though I’ve seen a number of clients go due to job loss or over all
