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 […]

Curly hair is a unique and beautiful thing.  I’ve loved cutting curly hair since I started my hairstylist career back in 1994.  At the time, I had curly hair myself (A huge head of “Rocker” hair actually… my nickname in high school was “Bonjoey”).  My hair was a huge part of my image and was

2012 has been a really amazing year here at Hair By Joey. I’ve met so many new people and done so much fun hair. I’ve executed just over 2200 hair services over the last 12 months! The amazing thing about this job is it never gets old for me. There is always something new to

One of the things I most enjoy here at hair by Joey is that occasional client that comes in and asks “What would you do if you could do anything to my hair?”   Wow!  What an honor!  What a responsibility!  As a stylist faced with this question, you’re basically being asked to design a

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

Over 30% of my clientele consists of beautiful ladies in their 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. While most of them prefer for me to cover their pesky grays with rich, natural hair color, over the years I’ve helped many transition out of colored hair back to their natural. Knowing when and how to do this is

Bangs are no substitute for BOTOX.  But, if your haircut evolves as you age, it can do a lot to keep you looking good (by minimizing fine lines, OBSCURING certain facial changes and, yes, even making you appear thinner). As a Seattle Hair Stylist working out of an up scale private studio I see a

When people hear the words “Private Hair Salon”, it can conjure up a picture of getting one’s hair done in someone’s basement or kitchen. Here at Hair By Joey Salon Seattle it’s a completely different experience, start to finish. Since what we do here doesn’t fit exactly into either the “home salon” or “public salon”
