Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/2/2010 - Gary Manuel's Best Kept SecretOMG!!! I have been going to Gary Manuel for many years and I always have a great experiance. I just saw Derrick on Friday and he is absolutly amazing! Best shampoo I have ever had and he is amazing at blow dry's too. He is sure to be one of Gary Manuels top stylists. No doubt about that. He is a natual talent and I don't think I can see anyone else after this awsome experience. Thanks Derrick!

I started seeing Dawn this past summer and loved the cuts/colors she did for me. When she left to return to school this past August she recommended I see Monica. I have now seen Monica 3 times and absolutely love her. I have had long hair since I was 16 and had seen some really cute short hair styles. I was extremely nervous to go "short...

When deciding on a place to go to (I've tried out many salons in the greater Seattle area) I was encouraged by all the positive reviews on Citysearch; these great reviews turned out to be dead on. When I made the appointment, I didn't ask for any stylist in particular and was scheduled with MONICA. She did an abso...

I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars going to the "best salons" here and in various cities, while travelling, and having my hair cut and colored by the supposed "best" designers. Some great, some not so great.
I now have a system for evaluating designers: hair design as discussed before the cut and how...

Read More On Citysearch CSMobileUser 6/8/2009 - I would highly recommend Nyesha!I didn't know what to expect when I made an appointment at Phase 3. I am an African American
woman and I have very resistant hair and I wasn't sure if there would be a stylist at Phase 3 that
would be able to 'tackle' my hair type. Low and behold I met Nyesha and she made all of my worries
dissapear. She was very knowledgeable about my hair type and she asked a lot of questions
to ensure I w...

I will definitely be returning!!
Read More On Citysearch shystedman 2/27/2009 - Metamorphosis with ASHLEY of Phase 3I took my medicare birthday money and splurged with a Phase 3 appointment with ASHLEY. She applied her caring and skill and I left feeling ready for the high school prom. (Actually later that day an e-harmony coffee introduction led to a dazzling New Year's Eve date)!
It was just magic to see the decades disappear from my appearance under her intuitive grasp of what my original, natural look ...
Read More On Citysearch azimuth65 2/3/2009 - Nyesha rocks!My first experience at Phase 3 was wonderful. I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist, and was given a robe to change into so I wouldn't get my shirt messy during the cut. The atmosphere of the place is pretty upscale and has an edgy feel to it. Nyesha was my stylist, and she did a perfect job on trimming my long layers. I'm definitely recommending her to my friends on their next haircut. T...
Read More On Citysearch annb5784 1/25/2009 - connie does it better than a nyc stylistyou'd imagine that new york city, with all its glitz and glamour, would have blown away a salon in seattle for highlights, but not the case when you go to connie. she made my hair look so natural and took such care in painting tiny sections of strands - it was truly impressive. i try to make it back to see her each time i return home! see her if you can.
Read More On Citysearch rockelmo1 1/22/2009 - Best Haircut Anywhere for Curly HairMy friend goes to the main Gary Manuel salon and did me a favor by asking her stylist for a stylist that really knows how to cut curly hair. Her stylist immediately referred me to Chris at Phase 3. When I called for an appointment, I was surprised and happy that Chris had immediate availability. After a very professional greeting, I was seen by Chris in just a few minutes. I should mention that I...
Read More On Citysearch dierdrehanshaw 12/4/2008 - If You Haven't Had Your Hair Done By Christopher, You Haven't Had Your Haid Done By The Best!To put it simply, my hair is a huge pain in the butt! Styling is an every day obstacle. I'd let my hair grow to my lower back because, we all know how easy it is to throw it back in a messy pony tail and call it a DAY! It was my first time at Phase 3 and I was lucky enough to have Christopher. I brought him a couple pictures I'd printed out of the hair styles I'd chosen from a vast array of them....
Read More On Citysearch KatieIsPreggers 10/10/2008 - A StealThis salon is great for so many reasons - mainly because they use gorgeous Aveda products and the prices are extremely reasonable, but also because it has a really accessible location and their stylists are all very friendly. I have been to see a couple of different stylists (for a cut and blond highlights) and all have been wonderful, with Opal being the most fabulous. Once I met with her, I wa...
Read More On Citysearch Belltownlocal 6/17/2008 - I Heart Christopher!I have been to Gary Manuel's Phase 3 salon twice now. My first experience was amazing, but my second visit was INCREDIBLE, thanks to Christopher. I have been trying to lighten my dark brown hair for sometime now in preparation for the warmer weather that I am wishing and hoping will show up one of these days. Well I have not been having the best of luck with getting the hair color that I had ...
Read More On Citysearch Nooooor 5/24/2008 - Tsofia is great! Continue to Part#2Part# 2: Then, the hard part came: going from blonde of 9 years back to my natural brunette. It was a long process, but done the right way and in several steps. Tsofia made the best brunette color I EVER had (even when it was natural)! She created a multidimensional look with reach brown all over color and super dark pieces for dimension. Plus, golden, naturally blended highlights all over (just ...
Read More On Citysearch blondbrunette 4/4/2008 - Tsofia is the best hair artist I have encountered #1Part # 1: Tsofia is a very busy professional, but made me feel like I am the only one she is working with! I felt like a Princess. She was very attentive to my ?hair story? and what I was looking for this time. She must have spent at least 30 minutes helping me to create the look I am looking for. She seemed very patient and relaxed.
I came in with super damaged long and blond/yellow hair, afte...

Great haircut for $29 at the gary manuel "student" salon. Unlike other training institutes the students here have already had at least TWO years of training and are polishing their skills with little (if any) coaching from the experienced staff on hand. I went in to have a horrible haircut fixed and Jeff, t...

But, I started going to Jeff in the Phase 3 Salon and I love, love, love him!!!! He has given me the best haircut I have EVER had!!!! I have never felt so confident!!! Again, everyone there is great, but JEFF is AWESOME!!!!!
Read More On Citysearch biggieshortie 2/28/2008 - Only the nicest people work hereAs a Beauty Consultant and Referral consultant for best spa's and salons in Seattle-I've been to too many to count,, I'd like to say I was treated to a beautiful color of blonde.
BUT, too much money for Advanced trainig color. Trust me, she was good, but for that much money-she should have been. I'll not go again, as the expense is too much. Keep looking friends.
Read More On Citysearch dinamattson 2/1/2008 - Hair, etc.Gary Manuel has a great reputation for quality hair. I have been to Phase 3 (which is their training salon) several times and have been more than pleased every time. The stylists are professional and make you feel at home. If you are tight, definitely go to Phase 3, but if you have money to burn hit up the main salon as it is very very nice. They give you great service every time and are sure to ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/1/2008 - Great haircuts/color, great pricesI followed Connie over from the Gary Manuel Institute on Capital Hill. I took a chance and had her color my hair over there, and I have to say it was probably one of the best, if not THE best, colors I have had. She made it look very natural, and I don't have to go in super often. She is fabulous, has great suggestions, and is very meticulus. I was so happy she kept in touch when she moved to...

I gave her some ideas on how I wanted my hair to be and she exceeded my expectations. In the past, I've gone to the downtown Gene Juarez salan for my haircuts, but my usual stylist got out of my price range ($70 from when I started going to her at $45 )and so I went to a different stylist (who was $55) and didn't like my hair ...
Read More On Citysearch mskim123 11/14/2007 - If Charles Fox had a fan club......I would be President! Anyone that's had their hair cut or colored by Charles knows what I'm talking about. I've put my locks in his trusty hands for over 2 years now and he's always delivered exactly what I'm looking for. Before Charles, I used to have unbelievable anxiety about cutting my hair, but now I can happily say that I've found a hair dresser for life! Thanks Charles, you rock!
Read More On Citysearch jaimesoule 5/25/2007 - Charles Fox at Gary Manuel Phase 3 is fabulousI was referred to Charles Fox at Gary Manuel Phase 3 by Wengen (see other review) and couldn't be happier. He gave me the haircut I'd been wanting and other stylists had failed to deliver. Most recently, I went from dark brown natural color to mostly blonde, and he made the transition fun and painless. Three cheers for Charles! Thank you!
Read More On Citysearch shantih 2/22/2007 - Been looking for a place like this for years!
I used to live and work in the city; now I'm an hour away. I haven't been able to find a decent place to do my hair. I decided to give Phase 3 a try because I wanted someone who was knowledgeable about the latest techniques yet still affordable. The salon was clean and basic yet modern. It didn't feel like a training center at all. Everyone in the salon were very nice & professional. I asked for...
Read More On Citysearch akroberts 2/21/2007 - Foxy HairLove Charles Fox at Phase 3 by G. Manuel. Admired an awesome cut and cool color on someone at the Alexis Hotel Aveda - she gave me Charles Fox's card and the rest is history. I've been with Charles the past few years and I never leave the salon disappointed. No doubt about it - Charles' cuts are awesome. And at Phase 3 the price is right. Charles, never leave me!

I wish I'd seen the "trainer" review before going to Phase 3. I had my hair done there about a month ago, and realize that I should've taken time to warn others about this place.
They butchered my hair. It was ala Jennifer Anniston. I asked for bangs like Nicole Ritchie, and ended up with nearly a mullet! I cried for days!
You'd think that since the stylists at Phase 3 are not paid (the...
Read More On Citysearch danafried 12/11/2006 - Great hair with no stress at a great priceHair salons terrify me. After years of outrageously overpriced, mediocre cuts at high end salons that generally left me feeling poor and vaguely inadequate, Phase 3 is a welcome change. Appointments are easy to get, the decor is functional and comforting, the stylists are approachable and helpful, and the prices cannot be beat. Yes, this is a training salon, but most people have worked elsewhe...
Read More On Citysearch lizscott 12/7/2006 - Where are the trainers?
I have been to Phase 3 3 times now, and have never once seen a "trainer." That is important, because many people may think that, like at other big-name training salons, you get the benefit at Phase 3 of having a "teacher" there to monitor what students are doing to your hair. My experience has been 0 for 3, and I am suffering the daily uglies from the most ridiculous, uneven haircut I think I h...
Read More On Citysearch kimspiess 12/6/2006 - look great & have $ left to leave the house againI received one of the best haircuts I have ever had by Audrey about a month ago and my hair still looks really great! I got solid & welcome advice about a suitable haircut for me. Years ago I visited Gary Manuel regularly--until I could no longer afford to go. My hair hadn't been the same since until I visited Phase 3. Definitely go. The people are nice. There is no pressure to buy or be anything...
Read More On Citysearch brunhilda6 10/23/2006 - Champagne quality, soda pop priceI have been going to Phase 3 and Gary Manuel for more than 10 years now. After a fantasy makeover on Rodeo Drive in L.A., I asked where in Seattle I could get the same kind of quality upkeep, and more than one of the $X00 per cut stylists there named Gary Manuel, citing its reknown training program and high standards, and they even recommended trying out the fresh new talent at Phase 3. Those h...
Read More On Citysearch vivace 8/19/2006 - Great deal!This is the training salon for Gary Manuel. Haircuts range from like $20-40, depending on what phase the stylist is on. The only problem is that the stylists move up quickly to the real salon, so unless you want to follow them (and pay the higher prices) you have to keep changing stylists. I've gotten two good haircuts here-they use the same great products as in Gary Manuel. It can take awhile to...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/10/2006 - Keep on Coming BackI've been coming here for 4 years now and its AWESOME! I recommend all my friends to come here. Its definately a bargain for what your getting: trained staff, friendly atmosphere and if your worried about sales pressures, the hair stylists will tell you what products they put in your hair and in the end ask you if you need anything else and thats it. The hair color/foils are great, they put a lo...
Read More On Citysearch princessanna 1/17/2006 - Great Salon!You get the luxury of a top of the line salon with fantastic staff and lower prices. Erin is a great stylist and she really took the time to explain how I can style my hair at home. It's simple enough for me to do in 30 minutes and the cut is fantastic! I'm extremely happy with my experience.
Read More On Citysearch nicwan 10/6/2005 - fabulous, for women and kids especiallyboth my son and i get my hair cut here. my son sees lindsey, who is much less expensive and better with him (he's 2) than the places that specialize in kids. i see lisa, who calms me down and makes me feel beautiful on even the most stressful days. really worth the money. you get gary manuel experience, with lower prices.
Read More On Citysearch sweetiea 9/22/2005 - Great haireventually.I called the salon to tell them that I was on my way before I drove over. (I live in Spokane.) But I ran into massive construction on the way, and it made me late. As soon as I could, I called them to say that I was still coming. And yet they gave away my appointment! I was furious. However, the manager of Phase 3 met me and we worked out a schedule to allow me to get my hair cut by Elle (in the...
Read More On Citysearch arriesymmes 8/22/2005 - Downtown SecretThis really is downtown's super little secret. Phase 3 provides REAL advanced training for the hair designers at Gary Manuel Salon. They are all talented, creative and super enthusiastic. I get fantastic haircuts and color for less than half of other downtown salons. Plus, the service is great too. I'm never disappointed.
