Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/11/2010 - Free Buzz CutsBeing a cancer survivor myself, I decided to make my first appointment at Gary Manuel Salon after reading a review commending the salon for it's "free buzz cuts for chemo patients." Other salons and businesses should take note and follow suit. We need more compassionate business owners. Kudos to Gary Manuel Salon for implementing this wonderful program.

Fantastic!!!! I've been 3 times since and my hair is getting better and better. The salon is high-end but very friendly, and professional. I used to go every two weeks with a lye-based relaxer on my hair someplace else but I finally figured out it was costing ...

Read More On Citysearch clariceAK 11/4/2009 - Absolutely the BEST place in Seattle for hair colorI have being going to the salon for over twenty five years. They are the best in doing color,. I don't like my hair to look artifical but I still don't want to see the grey After all these years I think my hair still looks natural but in a very good way. I still have people can't believe my hair color is not my own.
Read More On Citysearch Georgene 10/26/2009 - great salonI had a great experience at Gary Manuel. My hair is very curly, and as a result I often (well...usually) end up with terrible haircuts. Chris Archiopoli at this salon did a GREAT job with my hair. I love it! Very cool-looking and easy to style on my own. I highly recommend going to him, especially if you have curly hair.
Read More On Citysearch brobb702 9/14/2009 - Love love loveThis salon is the best that I've been to, and definitely worth it! Your hair not only come out looking beautiful, but it's a haircut that is maintainable and you can still make your hair look good when you get home.

Stephen is extremely professional and fast. I have a terrific graduated bob with a base color and two foil colors - all reds. It's a rich tone-on-tone effect, like those silks that change color depending on how the light hits them. He's also great about mixing things up, a little change here and ...

She can relax, cut, curl, color, highlight condition whatever you need. I see Nyesha twice a month. The salon is just that affordable but the level of professionalism warrants much more. I have seen Nyesha do all types of hair and all types of styles. My hair is shiny and yes manageab...

From day one, I have never gotten a bad hair cut or a weird color. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! My curly hair has never looked this good, Bad hair days are a thing of the past. I have to drive 2-1/2 hours one way to see Opal, but it's more than worth it. Excellent service and product.
Read More On Citysearch BeckyF 4/30/2009 - Best salon in town!The difference between a real pro and mediocure talent is how your hair looks after you get home and wash it and let it dry naturally. The stylists at Gary Manuel consistently cut hair that looks great and the products they use for coloring are of top quality. My hair feels soft and managable even after highlights. I've been going to Gary Manuel for over 15 years and think they are worth every...

He listened to me and knew exactly what to do. I was treated like a princess and as my hair was being blown dry, I was singing that cheesy beautiful girl song!

I'm always greeted with a smile, such professionalism and at the end of the day I walk out looking great. He is a master. Oh, and by the way, I've been doing this for 25 years.

And she only charged $65 which I think is quite reasonable for a great quick hairdo that looked awesome, and got a million compliments!! I'm definitely going back here for my bridal updo next summer.

I went to this salon for the Hair Relaxer Treatment. Mind you, my hair is extremely curly.

First time entering the salon, I ended up bombarded by strollers and no seating as I completed my patron questionnaire at the desk. The staff seemed overwhelmed by phones and checking people out of the salon as I stood there waiting for someone to take my clipboard. Someone did ask if I wanted something to drink, but then she forgot to give it to me--the hair stylist had served it to me instead...

I am very picky about my hair and am not that great at styling it and he seems to know just what to do. Been a client for several years and unless I become unemployed I'll continue.
Read More On Citysearch elizabethg 11/14/2008 - Understanding and ProfessionalDue to horrid traffic, I arrived about 20 minutes late for my cut and color with Parker. However, she was very understanding and took the time necessary to give me a great cut and color. I was her last appointment of the evening and I am sure I kept her there late, but I really appreciate the extra effort and will definitely return! My hair looks and feels fantastic.

Color so natural it looks like it grew out of my head. A cut so balanced I can shake my head and go. A look so good I don't care what it costs -- and I'm a Scot. Time in the chair here is an indulgence. They don't just pretend ...

And she freestyled on my hair with lowlights. Bad decision, and afterwards she knew it was NOT what I wanted, even her face showed disappointment.
I paid an incredible amount of $$$, and as a certified Beauty Consultant with my own business, I will NOT recommend this salon.
