    The Best Foils Ever!

    Matilda does the best hi lights I have ever had. Even the gals in the salon compliment her and myself when she is done. I love that she listens to what I like, so when I walk out of there, I am not going home and redoing my hair. My hair looks beautiful and natural. You are the best Matilda! Thank you so much.

    5/24/13 appt.

    I was soooo happy that Michelle Longmire contacted me for an opening she had for a sooner appt. (I had booked w/her 10 wks ago!). I appreciate her accommodation and willingness to "see" if I could make a sooner schedule opening, as it worked better for her as well. Thank you, Michelle! AND I love my hair & her attention to my cut, color, foil, and keratin treatment. THANK YOU!

    Michelle L. is AMAZING!

    I didn't know what I wanted, but Michelle helped me figure it out. She gave me great haircut with bangs that I have always wanted. I can wear my hair up or down and it looks great. My bangs no longer look dorky and they actually blend well with the rest of my hair. Thanks Michelle for doing an amazing job! I already made my next appointment.

    Love my Cheryl!

    Followed Cheryl from her previous salon to Salon Swish. I think she made an great choice in joining the new team in this cool new spot. Cheryl always gives me a great looking foil and cut and is great at helping me find the most flattering look with beautiful highlights. I am asked, regularly, who does my hair and I am always more than happy to refer new people to Cheryl. Not sure what I would do without her!

  • 5

    Perfect little boutique salon

    Love the atmosphere, great location with wonderful light from the wall of windows. Personal service in a chic boutique setting, love my stylist but have to honestly say that all the styles I saw leaving the salon that day were exceptional and I was there for about 4 hours (extension maintenance, color & cut for me)

    andy was great!

    I came in for a brassy orange color correction and was scheduled with Andy. She took on the challenge and did a great job fixing my highlights (which took nearly 3 hrs). The effort and time she put into making me love my hair was tremendous. Will definatly be seeing her again!

    I've followed Cheryl to 3 locations. She has always provided professional care and sound suggestions to improve or change the style. I am most appreciative of her talents.

  • 5

    Kelly is fantastic!

    I've been to Kelly three times now because my stylist is on maternity leave. He is such a great guy & I was fortunate enough to have met and interacted with him prior to my first cut. I knew he would be awesome and I was right! I just may have to permanently cheat on my other gal!

  • 5

    customer satisfaction is a given

    I have been coming to Salon Swish for 3 years now. I am always seen on time and would not think of using another salon for my color needs!! Although I am a solid Mattie fan, I see the great work done on the other clents, great group of talented people

  • 5

    Perfect cut

    I love my new haircut. I brought Kelly a picture of Jaime Lee Curtis and asked for a cut like hers. He nailed it. I look more like JLC than she does.

  • 5

    The only salon I'll go to!

    I have been going to Salon Swish for about 6 months now. I have tried so many others around Tacoma, Federal Way, and Seattle areas and if they didthe color right, they butchered the cut. Now, I see Michelle Longmore and she is phenomenal! She listens to what I want, collaborates with me, always checks before tweaking things and my cut & color is always AMAZING!! The other stylists are always super nice and make the salon a very comfortable, fun, environment. Love this Salon!!

    Michelle L

    Just found this place when walking down market. Wow. What a great experience. Great haircut, pleasant environment, 2 minutes walk from the office. unusual decor that I really like. best part was the enthusiasm that my stylist showed for a style I chose and she made happen.

    We'd follow Erica anywhere!

    Erica is an amazing stylist, I always receive compliments after she works her magic. I have been going to Erica for years and now my daughter has become a regular client as well. Erica works well with both of us, an indication of her flexibility and competence in working with a wide range of ages. She listens well, makes great suggestions and clearly stays on top of current trends in hair styling. I love the new location of Salon Swish – light, airy and most important...abundant parking!

  • 5

    Cheryl is fabulous-EVERY time!

    Cheryl has given me the best colors and cuts for over a dozen years. Like other clients, I'd follow her anywhere. She is kind, honest, professional, super skilled and a a true collaborator who ensures that the style and/or color is exactly what the client wants. I've referred numerous people over the years to Cheryl and they have had the same experience as me. Love the location and the "vibe" of Salon Swish...I'm sure you will too! :-)

    Happy customer every time!

    I love Salon Swish! I was referred by a coworker and on my 1st visit I was scheduled with Kelly who is AMAZING! I appreciate his professional opinion; I go in there with an idea for my hair and he gives me an honest response with tips and tweaks he believes will best suit me. I love the salon and its atmosphere. The decor is creative and warm, the services are always beyond satisfactory and the prices are great on my budget.

    Got the cut I wanted!

    Great service! I came late and she was so kind to still take me. Michelle really listened to what I wanted. This was my first time at this salon. I love my new hair-do.

  • 5

    Andy

    Andy has colored and cut my hair for almost a year now. Andy takes a lot of time listening to understand the look you want and both the haircuts and colors she has done for me have been beautiful. I couldn't be happier. She also suggested a keratin straightening treatment for my hair that made it shinier and a lot more manageable, and the results have lasted more than six months. The salon is great too, very relaxed and I have always felt welcome there. Highly recommend!

  • 5

    Always Happy!!

    This was my first visit to Salon Swish and everyone was so friendly. I have been a client of Cheryl's for nearly 20 years and am always happy with the cuts and color she gives me.

    This momma is back!!

    I have been a long time client of Erica's. I recently had a baby and let my hair go. I was getting tired of looking frumpy, so thank God Erica could get me in at the last minute. It was so over due. Now I feel like a new mom again!!! Thanks Erica!!

  • 5

    Cheryl is Awesome

    For mens hair Cheryl is fast and I can't remember the last time she was less then perfect. I've only been seeing her for about 15 years so thats saying something. She cuts my wifes hair too. Cheryl is the best.

  • 5

    Erica is amazing!

    I love my hair, she always listens to what I have to say. She asks questions, doesn't assume, and double checks before doing anything.

    Erica did a great job on my hair, I went in not really knowing what I wanted and she helped me figure it out. I'm very happy with the cut and color she gave me.

    I love Michelle L!!

    WOW! I read all of the reviews and couldn't wait to book my appt with Michelle :) BEST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE! It was incredible to see the difference an expert could do with my hair! I will never go anywhere else! Plus it was so affordable!! 50 dollars for a haircut that makes me feel better than I have in years, is a steal! Thank you Michelle L!!

    Excellent Salon Experience

    I had a wonderful session at Salon Swish with Michelle Longmore. Her understanding of what I needed was spot on. Color was perfect, style cut was perfect and I barely needed to explain what I wanted. She was so much fun to be with and I booked my next appointment on the spot. I was delighted with my visit and with the salon.

  • 5

    LOVE THIS PLACE!

    Thanks Kelly for the wonderful haircut and highlights. I will be telling all my army wives about this place! Look forward to seeing you guys again on this Saturday.

    FEELIN SPRING

    Looking for a stylist with artistic skills, and had a more than successful first Kelly C experience! Did not rush, was very caring, listened and left salon with a new bounce, both in style and my step. Thank you Kelly, looking forward to our journey. Cindi

  • 5

    Beautiful

    My friend and I got our hair done for a military ball. She had what she wanted all picked out and it looked great when he was finished! I, on the other hand, had no idea what I wanted. Kelly worked his magic and made my (short) hair look elegant in an up-do. We were both very happy with the outcome!

  • 5

    Kelly is the best

    For many years I drove to Seattle to get my hair colored because of a string of disastrous incidents when I tried to find a local colorist. Kelly has simplified my life! He is fantastic, my color is always great and (added bonus) my hair has not looked this healthy in years!

  • 5

    Great Haircut!!

    Michelle Longmore always does a great job with my, crazy thick, hard to control hair, would reccommend her to everyone.

  • 5

    Your are the BEST

    I am sooo lucky I found Michelle Longmore when my regular hairdresser moved away. My cuts are unusual and I always tell her what I want and she goes to it and I leave the Salon feeling like a million bucks. Thanks Michelle you truly are the BEST.

  • 5

    Erica is the best hair stylist

    I completely trust her suggestions in coloring or hair cut. I always walk out feeling confident and fabulous! Thanks for another great cut:)

  • 5

    Great service!

    Another great experience at Salon Swish. Erica is so great about suggesting what my hair needs and is always open to listening to my hair concerns/ ideas. I've always had a great color/ highlighting/ hair cut experience at Salon Swish.

    love my brow wax results

    I didnt get the name of the guy that did my brow wax on Saturday afternoon, 2/9. He did an awesome job. I think it is the best i have ever had because he was very careful and spent alot of time. I will go back to the same person next time.

    Great Haircut & Style by Michelle Knight

    During a recent visit to Washington a relative recommended Michelle to me for a haircut. I was extremely pleased with the styling as well as the helpful tips provided by Michelle. Thank You!

    Do yourself a favor

    Walk out of a salon looking dynamite! I get complimented for weeks after seeing Kelly at Swish. Try him-he gets it.

    A gem on Opera Alley

    I must admit the salon is really not my element from name to decor but Kelly make me feel as if I was his most important client ever even though I feel I'm not your typical patron. As always everyone there is friendly and helpful so add more tassels, feathers and girly flair.. I'll be back!

  • 5

    THE BEST!

    Salon Swish is a wonderfully relaxing, friendly, and warm environment.....and the coffee is great too! There are many talented staff members in the salon.

    Andy's awesome

    Jan. 5, 2012 After months of searching I finally found a hairdresser who listened to me. Andy fixed a bad cut and I love it. Great cut, great, personable stylist. Will definitely return to Andy for cut and now for new color!

  • 5

    Kelly's a keeper!

    Kelly was fantastic. I was visiting Tacoma for the holidays and knew I wanted to brighten my curly, fine brown hair. He listened to my ideas, offered options, and explained how each would work. He did full highlights in an ash blonde (which took work because my hair has warm undertones), trimmed the ends, added a few soft layers and took care with the blow out and styling. From beginning to end, Kelly was friendly and funny. Great experience. Would definitely return!

  • 5

    Wonderful!

    Every time I've been to Swish, I have received exactly what I'm looking for... and in cases where I'm not quite sure -- I still come out looking and feeling gorgeous. Erica is a great listener and a fantastic colorist, not to mention she has flair with a pair of scissors!

  • 5

    TOUCH DOWN for Salon Swish!

    I have been coming to Swish since it opened it doors and it is always a wonderful experience. Michele is not only my stylist but has become a friend. I currently live in Thailand and I time my flight schedule so I can visit Michele for a cut and color as soon as I TOUCH DOWN!

  • 5

    Great Experience!

    Andy gave me the perfect cut for my lifestyle and face shape. I have gotten so many compliments! She was very personable without being nosy. I recommend this salon, especially Andy, to anyone! It was a little hard to find the shop if you don't know downtown Tacoma. Very up-to-date cutting facilities (sinks, chairs, etc.) but with really fun re-furbished & antique furniture, so unique! (except the weird life-size skeleton dressed up in Christmas tinsel...odd)

  • 5

    Kelly did an amazing job!!

    Great cut, great attitude, great experience. Highly recommend both the cut & experience w/ Kelly @ Swish.

    Amazing Stylist

    Michelle Marie my stylist was amazing! She gave me suggestions for my face and hair type and gave me a new and fresh look. In addition she was so pleasant and flexible with my 18 month old that I had to bring with me. I would recommend Michelle at Salon Swish! I will definitely be returning to her in the future!

  • 5

    5 stars

    I just had my hair done yesterdY and the comments I received in the afternoon was "they sure know your hair". Yes, I do trust Michelle with my hair. I give her free reign Thank you

  • 5

    Perfection!

    I recently moved to Washington from Texas and was in desperate need of a hair cut. I decided to give Swish a try and I'm so glad i did! With minimal direction Andy was able to give me EXACTLY what i was looking for and it didn't even cost me an arm and a leg (even though i would have paid it)... Thanks Andy!

  • 5

    Michelle Longmore Rocks

    Michelle rocks my haircut is fabulous, no matter where I was today, everyone said what a great haircut I have. I like unusual cuts and also a good razor cut and Michelle sure knows her stuff, I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    Great cut/styling for fine hair!

    I have very fine, thin hair, and Michelle gave me a great haircut that makes my hair look so much fuller and healthier. My co-workers think it looks great! Michelle is easy to connect with, and I will definitely be returning for my future hair needs.

  • 5

    perfect hair every time

    Kelly is my stylest and I have never had my hair look better than it does now . He takes the time to really give me exactly what I'm looking for with my hair. He is friendly, outgoing and a real pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend him to anyone .

  • 5

    my fine hair has volume!

    After reading many reviews about Salon Swish, I decided to give it a try and am glad I did. I told Michelle about my concern with my frizzy and fine hair and wanted a style that is easy to maintain and add volume. She listened, gave me suggestions and worked her magic. I was really satisfied with the result. Not only did my hair have volume, it has a shine and bounce to it. I am so happy that I gave this salon a try and will continue to be a regular customer.

  • 5

    Amazing for CURLY girls

    Andy was so nice, the salon decor was stylish, BUT the very best was the cut. I have the craziest mess semi curly hair and it is never easy. Andy made it possible to have a sassy STYLE, while growing out my hair. I had SO many compliments yesterday, it was crazy! Thanks Andy! :)

  • 4

    my salon experience

    my hair was cut by kelly. He did a great job.the building was very clean. the only critique i had was that my hair was cut a bit to short. i would definitely go there again.

  • 5

    POOF! My curly hair worries are gone now!

    I love my very curly hair but not when the cut is bad. When I lost my long time stylist, I resorted to chopping and trimming my locks myself. I decided to take a chance with Salon Swish due to such good reviews. Andy was great. She listened to my woes and explained what she was doing as she cut. Thanks so much Andy! See you in 8 weeks!

  • 5

    Fantastic cut for difficult hair!

    This was my first time in, I had an appointment with Andy. She was great and the cut was terrific! Lots of people have a tough time with my hair but Andy had no problem with it. Best cut in a decade, I already booked my next appointment, no need to shop around anymore.

  • 5

    Great salon

    Recently had my hair cut by Andy-she was very personable and patient as I explained what I was looking for in a cut. Great results and will definitely go back to Salon Swish. Style points for cool decor.

    Highly Recommend - Salon Swish

    Salon Swish offers world class service in a warm, friendly and comfortable space in down town Tacoma. There is a friendly, professional atmosphere. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

  • 5

    Matilda is the best!

    I highly recommend Salon Swish. If you are looking for a pretentious uncomfortable salon do not go. If you are looking for a very cool place with stylist and color professionals who are masters in their field and wonderful people then Salon Swish is perfect.

    Erica knows her stuff!

    I have long, baby fine hair... and not much of it! Read all the great reviews on Salon Swish and decided to give it a shot. I saw Erica, who was super nice. I had just gotten my hair to all one length and decided it wasn't for me. Erica talked me through how she would do the cut to give bounce and swing but still leave enough thickness at the ends... sure enough, the cut is perfect! I also appreciated that there was no pressure to buy products. Will definitely be back!

  • 5

    Friedly Staff

    What a great place to get my hair did at! I absolutely love Andy...she is great with hair, definitely knows her stuff, plus bonus she is bubbly and kind! Thank you so much! You make me look and feel great!

    Kelly is awesome!

    Kelly colored and styled my hair and I left the salon feeling very happy about it all. I plan on scheduling another appointment with him next month.

    Hair Fix from out of town

    Thank you Erica for always knowing my hair. My stylist in Boise just didn't take the time to give me a hair cut that worked. I asked for something& he spent 15 minutes with me& sent me on my way. Not horrible not awesome. I came for a visit &decided I needed to see if I could get into Erica. YES. She instantly knew that the cut I was given was not right for me. She fixed it. I bought some time to find a stylist I trust as much as Erica here in Boise. My hair is back to being awesome.

  • 5

    Matilda is the bomb!

    Matilda colored my hair for the very first time. She was so gracious and wonderful! My color came out beautiful and I will be back to see her!!

  • 5

    Always wonderful service!

    My service with Matilda at Swish is always fantastic. Not only is she an amazing colorist (the very best around) she is a friend to all that meet her. Swish has a fun atmosphere and I always enjoy my time with Matilda! I recommend them highly!

    Michelle is Great!

    What can I say??? She stays pace with an old lady who gets tired of her hair style every few years and keeps me up to date with out any Aging Bimbo-affect!

    Andy is always very professional and listens to what I suggest but then she always tells me what her thoughts are. I appreciate that she is always into what she is doing on my hair and not paying more attention to what her hair looks like in the mirror. I would recommend Andy to everyone!

    Great salon

    I had my hair colored by Kelly. He did a great job, is really nice, and I enjoyed my experience at Salon Swish.

    Good experience!

    I had a cut/color by Kelly and was very happy with how it looked. Kelly listened to what I wanted. The staff at this salon is friendly and unpretentious. I like that I can schedule or change appointments on-line. The price is comparable to other salons.

    Matilda is the best!

    Love coming to get my hair done at Swish. Matilda, Andy, and Michelle are the best. I feel pampered and always love my color and haircut! I don't splurge on coffee getting my nails done or wine, but I do on my hair!

  • 5

    Great Styling!

    As a repeat customer I can confirm that customer service and great styling happen at Salon Swish! Another happy customer thanks to Michelle Knight.

    Matilda and Andy

    Matilda is an amazing color artist! I've followed her from another salon and would follow her to another city if I had to. Andy gives a fantastic cut. I just found her by chance at Salon Swish and have been pleased as punch ever since. I get compliments on my hair almost daily!

  • 5

    Happy Clients return

    I am an extremely happy clients of Michelles. She is attentive, great listner, knows what my hair will do and won't do. When I'm at a loss when I want to change something up, she consults with me and helps me decide. I love this place and I know you will too!

  • 5

    Always Gets It Right!

    I'm new to Tacoma, and one of the things I hate doing in a new city is finding a competent hairstylist! Well...I didn't have to look very long. I have long, thick, curly hair, and Kelly always knows the perfect cut for it. He really listens and cares about what you envision for your hair, and does an amazing job of getting it there! That combined with his genuine personality and his affordable prices makes Kelly a "must go-to" hair dresser!!

  • 5

    Best place ever

    I had Erica help me with getting all my hair chopped off. She also was very helpful to make sure that my hair stays within the military regulation so I wouldn't get in trouble too. She was so nice and loved talking to her. My friend even loved her and will be seeing her soon as well. Very impressed with the knowledge and suggestions she gave. Definitely found my permanent hair dresser while in Washington.

  • 5

    You are the VERY BEST

    Thanks Michelle, for another great haircut. I love giving you some ideas and then letting you do what you do best. You are an artist and I always feel like a million bucks when I leave the salon. Do know your talents are greatly appreciated.

    Michelle Longmore is the best

    Salon Swish is tucked away in downtown Tacoma. The Salon is so charming and Clean..I was so happy with my color and cut Michelle did. It is the best I have had. I let her pick the color that was best for me and she went at her magic! I can not wait to go back. After a long day her shampoo will be much to look forward to! Thank you again Michelle

    Love my new haircut

    Michelle cuts my hair...always does a great job...easy location to get in and out of...will happily return:)

  • 5

    Great Find!

    I went in to Swish with a disaster of a botched color job and my own cut. I can't cut hair but it was so bad I couldn't help whacking at it. Erica was able to salvage what was left and turn it into a haircut with style. She was patient and listed to my frustrations. Having fine graying hair isn't easy to work with. My hair looks thick and healthy. Thank you again.

    Color & Cut with Kelly

    My hair is very important to me and I only trust Kelly with my hair. It turned out exactly how I wanted it. He actually listens to what you want to do and explains how grow out will look. He does not over charge and is very skilled. My hair always feels so much healthier leaving, and for the first time I do not have a bad association with the word "hair cut".

  • 5

    Color, Cut, Highlight

    Andy was great. She even stayed late to finish my hair. Overall very pleased with the experience. Only complaint is parking.

  • 5

    Perfect color!

    Loved my foil by Erica! She gave me exactly what I wanted! The salon is so cute inside too, you will love this place!

  • 5

    Always the best

    I love going to Salon Swish, the atmosphere is always wonderful and the service is amazing!! I always leave feeling beautiful and knowing I got a great deal!!

    Andy

    Andy took a lot of time to fix my color and gave me a great cut too, the cut and color both looked great seven weeks later. I highly recommend her!

  • 5

    Andy is Great

    Andy is a great stylist! I have extremely unruly, thick, coarse hair with a bit of wave to it that grows very fast... But I like to wear my hair in a sleek, straight and very conservative medium-length bob that can be achieved with a little bit of product and a simple flat iron in about 10 minutes. She made it happen for me with ease and I walked out of there happy. Thanks, Andy! 

  • 5

    First time visit to the salon

    I enjoyed my visit to this salon it has a relax and funky atmosphere. My hair cut and coloring was perfect, she understood what I wanted. I finally found in Tacoma my hair salon! No more trips to Seattle. I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for a professional and skilled stylist.

  • 5

    Really great haircut!

    I had a very pleasant appointment with Andy. She did a fantastic job cutting my hair exactly as I wanted, was professionally skilled and knowledgeable. I left more than pleased with the result and can recommend the salon and Andy highly.

    Matlida

    Matlida is phenomenal! I have never been dissappointed and would recommend her to anybody who wants to be certain they will be pleased when she's done :)

  • 5

    Fantastic Experience!!!

    Love, love, love my experience with Michelle! I had an all over color, haircut, and my brows tinted. Everything was exactly as I had asked for and Michelle was so easy to talk with. I would definitely recommend Salon Swish to anyone and most importantly, Michelle. Can't wait until my next visit

    Amazing as always

    Kelly is so fabulous at what he does. My highlights and cut are beautiful, perfect sunkissed feel, frames my face and looks effortless!

    A New Friend

    I loved my first experience at Salon Swish. The atmosphere was unique, the service was friendly and thorough. I loved the color my hair turned out and the cut was lovely. Most of all, I really enjoyed my stylist, Andy, talking with her was like visiting with a friend. I will definitely be returning in the future!

  • 5

    Hair color design is Matilda's calling!

    Matilda has known she has a passion and gift for the art of hair color since she was a teenager. She has been doing color for me and one of my closest friends for years. I have been delighted with the results every time. My hair is dark and gets all over color. My friend's is lighter and gets foils. In both cases the color is perfectly natural looking all the time. I also love the way Matilda styles my hair. Absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend Matilda for color!

  • 5

    Andy Rocks!!!!

    I had been having Andy do my hair for years and we just recently reunited. She cut, colored and partially foiled my hair to the exact way I like it, Bright Red!!! I highly recommend Andy and salon swish has a cool feel to it. If your looking for a new salon and hair expert, I would say this combo is the winner!

  • 5

    Great experience, unique salon

    Finding a new stylist and a new salon can be daunting, but based on other reviews I made an appointment at Salon Swish and couldn't be happier with the results. Kelly is fantastic, he listened, gave feedback, and we ended up with a great new style and I can't wait to go back for my color. The salon in general has good vibes and I'd recommend it to anyone!

    Experts in their field!

    I have always had a hard time finding someone that can tame my hair. As a Hispanic woman, I have thick, coarse, curly hair. I went to Swish after reading tons of reviews. I had my first appointment with Erica Youngberg a year ago and have returned ever since. Erica is an amazing stylist. She knows how to work with her client’s unique features. I have always been excited about how my hair turns out. The entire staff at Swish is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend giving them a call.

  • 5

    attentive and accommodating

    I was pleased to have Kelly cut my hair and to focus on some stubborn behaviors of my hair, working to solve the problems.

  • 5

    Great find!

    After my hair stylist of 10+ years moved away, I was faced with having to find someone new. I discovered Michelle Marie at Salon Swish and she made the transition painless! Michelle does a great job with my hair and I would highly recommend her.

  • 5

    Great cut!

    My stylist was kelly. He was really nice, easy going, and a great listener. I came in for a trim but wanted to add a bit of style to my hair, it's at that ugly length when you grow out your hair. I liked his honest professional opinion on what I could do with my hair to add some personality. The cut came out great! I'm really happy with it. It's been a long time since I've had a regular stylists, I'm glad to have found someone I can trust with my hair!

    Fabulous People

    Kelly is amazing!

    I have never loved my hair more! Kelly styled my hair for an event last year and I have been a client ever since. Recently I took the leap and got a full set of extensions. I adore them! I completely trust in Kelly's talents as a stylist and he is also a very warm and genuine person to get to know.

    Erica is excellent!

    Love my haircut. Erica suggested I try something different than what I'm used to. Glad I did, very happy with it

  • 5

    Service with a smile!

    Salon Swish's owner has cut and colored my hair for 13 years. I have always experienced superb service, and on trend styles. Michelle is a gifted colorist who offers deft assessment about an individual's style wants with what is actually possible. These fantastic cuts have always empowered me!

  • 5

    Outstanding!

    I have been going to Salon Swish for almost 2 years for my partial foils and haircuts. Kelly amazes me every time as he creates absolutely perfect highlights as well as outstanding haircuts. Kelly is great he listens and remembers my needs. I can't imagine having anyone else do my hair. In addition to great service the location and atmosphere are unique and inviting.

  • 5

    Fabulous Tacoma haircut

    I saw Michelle L. for the first time in late May. She listened attentively and patiently while I described what sort of cut I wanted, and discussed her plans with me before starting to snip away. She approached the cutting meticulously and thoughtfully, and carefully "fine tuned" the lovely results once my hair was dry. I'm thrilled to have finally found my regular Tacoma hair stylist! Bonus: Michelle is friendly, kind, easy to talk to, and has lots of local recommendations.

  • 4

    Kelly

    Kelly is the best! I have naturally curly hair and it is difficult to find a stylist that can cut it well. He has been cutting my hair for about a year now and I love it. I let him take over and do his "thing" and he works magic!

  • 5

    Seriously the best EVER.

    I've been seeing Erica for over 6 years and she is by far the best person I've ever been to. If you are looking for someone to develop a relationship with, and cut your hair so that it is fabulous - this is the place for you.

  • 5

    Good job Kelly

    Excellent service. I just referred a Doctor to Kelly C. The doc commented on how nice my hair was and asked about my stylist

    details

    i found my stylist to be very informative and experienced at cutting my hair, and she was also great at explaining tips and ideas about styling -- i appreciated the time she took, and she did a great job!

    Master colorist Matilda

    I found Matilda a couple of years ago at another salon and followed her to Swish. I so love the color magic she works with my hair that I would follow her to the ends of the earth if I had to...my hair has never looked so good! She is an absolute master with color.

    Andy

    Andy was amazing. My cut is great and even when I syle it looks great. I love the salon very cool and funky vibe. I will be back.

    Sooo happy!!

    Found Salon Swish by purchasing a LivingSocial deal. So glad I did. Kelly was great. He listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly what I was looking for. He's the 5th stylist I've been to since moving here less than 1 year ago. I no longer have to look, I've finally found my stylist. I love my hair, it's perfect, thanks to Kelly. I will be making another appt. with him.

    AWESOME

    Michelle Marie is a great stylist. She is very knowledgeable on the service she has to offer. She gave me a great cut and I love my color.

    Feel like a new woman!

    Matilda, you are awesome! I love the low lights that you suggested to add with the hi lights. Already have had compliments. Looks very natural. Thank you so much.

    Great experience!

    I had my first experience at Swish with the owner, Michelle Knight. She was fabulous and really helped figure out what to do with my scraggly, grown-out hair. Great atmosphere, fun staff.

    Color by Matilda

    Matilda has been coloring my hair for a few years - She knows what colors work for my hair for each season; she knows just when I need lowlights put back in. I can always trust her with my hair coloring.

  • 5

    AMAZING!

    I recently had my hair done by Miss Erica and could not be happier! I had an all over color done, which I loved, and the Keratin Smoothing Treatment. She is so knowledgeable about what she does and takes the time to explain the whole process. You can definitely tell that Erica is not only experienced, but very educated in her industry. I would highly recommend her to anyone and if you are interested in trying the "Brazilian Blowout," she is your girl!

    I love my hair cut!

    I had a great experience at Swish. It was my first time there and Andy did a great job! Cute salon:-)

  • 5

    I found my new stylist!

    This was my second visit with Michelle Longmore and I couldn't be happier. Excellent cut and service! With my first cut I got a lot of comments on what a cute hair style I had, and this was from strangers. Michelle is an good listener to her clients, and remembered everything I had told her with the first visit, she is very professional, and knows her craft well. Its nice to find someone who you can trust to listen yet suggest another direction to take to change things up a bit.

  • 5

    A perfect haircut, as always!

    Andy does a fabulous job at cutting my hair! Whether I'm going for a short style, or letting it grow out, she knows just what to do to make it look excellent. As I'm totally "hair challenged" I love letting her help me decide what style we should do "this time around" and it always looks great. I trust her completely and definitely recommend her to anyone who's needing to find the perfect stylist for themselves!!

  • 5

    A Delightful Afternoon

    After stressing regarding the use of the parking meter Andy Jager immediately came up behind me and began to show me the correct procedure. We entered the salon and discussed what we were going to do with my hair. It turned out perfect. She was a lot of fun and I left with a smile on my face. I'll go back for sure. D.

  • 5

    Awesome hair cut!

    I went to Salon Swish in Tacoma and got the best haircut ever by a stylist named Michelle, she listened to what I wanted and gave me a lesson on styling too! The place is really fun and I loved the decor. I'm excited to go back for color! Susan:-)

    Michelle Knight is AMAZING!

    Reflections of a Salon Hopper

    Thanks to Andy my days of salon hopping are over. This gem of a shop tucked away in Opera Alley provided me with a great haircut and an overall enjoyable experience.

  • 5

    great experience

    It was truly an experience .. the salon was bright and clean. The people were very knowledgeable & friendly. The cut I received was perfect... all at a price that was very reasonable. ... I will definitely be back!

  • 5

    Never a bad hair day for me.

    Kelly is my hero. He does a wonderful cut and color. He listens to what I want and gives helpful suggestions. II always gets lots of compliments on my hair. I usually never have any trouble finding free parking within a block or too. Last time I walked down a block and had a blast going into a variety of antique stores and retro clothing stores.

  • 5

    Nothing Else Compares

    I have been to many salons and stylists before I found Kelly Christopherson. Now, I won't go anywhere else! He always does a great job, not only at cut and color, but also at having a plan and a look in mind, whether it's coming up with the idea or simply guiding my idea to a realistic expectation, I can always count on Kelly. I would and do recommend him to all my friends and family!

  • 5

    Excellent experience!

    I am new to Tacoma and was returning to my (natural) blond from strawberry blond. Erica did SUCH an EXCEPTIONAL job! She took her time and was extremely thoughtful with the choice of colour she would use. It was important to her to return me to a natural colour, yet maintain the integrity of my hair. She achieved both. I love it and could not be more pleased! On top of that Erica is so sweet and kind. I can't wait to go back in 6-8 wks so she can work more of her magic : )

  • 5

    Loved it!

    A friend recommended Kelly at Salon Swish, and I'm so glad she did! Kelly did such an amazing job on both my cut and color. The color especially is gorgeous... I couldn't stay away from the mirror when I got home! This is the happiest I've been with my hair in a long time, and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

  • 5

    Excellent

    I love Erica, she is the greatest. Some people you can just tell are doing something they love. Erica is one of those people. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Great haircut

    Was referred by a friend,and was so pleased by the way Michelle cut my hair. The best cut I've ever had!! Was such a comfortable place. Everyone is so friendly and they offer a beverage if you are early. Very happy to find Salon Swish and is walking distance, which is great.

    Great Service!

    Michelle was awesome! I almost had the whole salon to myself and felt quite pampered while I was there. It was easy to find and parking a breeze. (I was there early in the day)

    Michelle Knight is AWESOME!

    I am so glad I found Michelle almost 12 years ago. she is an amazing stylist as well as a fantastic person. She is the only one I ever let do my hair and I trust her completely!!!! I highly recommend Swish Salon to anyone who wants their hair done right and wants to feel special!!!

  • 5

    Erica's the best!

    I've been working with Erica for years. She is top notch. Anyone looking for a stylist that takes the time to listen, care and execute perfectly will love working with her.

  • 5

    If only there were 5 more stars to give

    Amazing! Erica was such a wonderful person to spend a few hours with! I had the best experience in her chair. I absolutely love my hair. The salon is clean, well decorated, and puts out a great atmosphere. The ladies in the salon were very personable and professional. Salon Swish is a true gem! I've been to many other salons that just cannot match up to Salon Swish. I will (already am) highly reccommend their services to friends and family.

    Great groupon!

    This is a really great location. I received an exceptional cut and colour. I felt like the stylist really listened to what I knew about my hair and worked with me for the best possible outcome. Only reason I didn't give a 5 is that I felt double booked with another client. Sat unattended with wet hair for at least 15 minutes.

    Recommend it!

    Awesome 1st experience at Salon Swish in Tacoma, bright and friendly environment with a positive vibe! Experienced staff, centrally located, what more could you want!

    Michelle Knight cut my hair yesterday, I was afraid at 1st cause typically I am disappointed. I love my haircut Michelle did a great job & listened to what I wanted.. Thank YOU for a great experience

  • 5

    Always Rewarding!

    I am obsessed with my hair and am always looking through magazines for the perfect haircut and color. I have always complained about my hairdos up until the time that I started to see Kelly. I have never had to wait and he takes his time to make sure that I am completely satisfied.

  • 5

    I got just what I wanted

    I went into the salon filling old and frumpy. I came out 2 hours later looking 10 years longer and feeling very good about myself. I am looking forward to returning to Swish Salon in 6 weeks.

  • 5

    Happy Client

    How do you know if I client is happy and satisfied? They RETURN! Michelle Knight has been doing my hair for mmmm 4-5 years. She is the best and I wouldn' t go anywhere else. She is the best listener when I am explaining (or trying to explain) what my vision is for my head of hair. She will let me know if what I am trying to convey is something doable or not, giving me her expert advice when I am at a loss. The end result she duplicates time and time again and that is a great cut and/or color.

  • 5

    Love My new Haircut!!!

    Michelle Knight is amazing!! I decided that it was time to cut off 8 inches and I love the style and my color is so pretty! my hair feels so much thicker and healthy...won't go anywhere else but Salon Swish <3 she weathered the storm in her mini copper to see me and I can't thank her enough!

  • 5

    Best Haircut in Years!

    Custom Haircut and Color with Michelle Marie Longmore

    Had to switch hairdresser as after 10 years mine moved to Seattle. I found Salon Swish and interviewed Michelle as I am very specific on my cuts. I like a razor cut that is asymmetrical and the color I like is a burgundy red. Well I must say that the experience was great, I loved Michelle and I left there with a rockin hairdo. I new it was great when everywhere I went people commented how nice my hair was. I look forward to my next visit and I don't even mind the drive from Olympia.

    Loved it!

    I moved to Washington in July and only had my hair cut once since I got here. I was desperate to get another one and was lucky enough to come across Salon Swish and their amazing online booking system. Even luckier, it set my appointment up with Kelly. He was patient enough to guide me to the salon on the phone after I had gotten myself pretty lost (and late) and was incredibly friendly. Not to mention that fact that I LOVE my haircut! I definitely recommend Salon Swish and Kelly :).

  • 5

    Erica rocks!

    I just had my first experience at Swish and it was fabulous! I had a major style and color change and Erica did a perfect job! The location in Opera Alley is perfect and the salon is so cute! I'll be back!

    Wonderful

    Visiting from out of town and desperately in need of a trim, I picked Salon Swish for its positive reviews and location. I'm glad I did -- I couldn't be happier. Erika was very attentive to what I wanted, and gave me a fantastic haircut, without that annoying fresh-haircut look. Highly recommended.

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

    I Just moved here from NY and had no idea where to go to get my hair done. I used Yelp and found Salon Swish and saw the Amazing results that's were posted by other clients so I booked an appointment with Michelle L. and she was absolutely amazing. She actually listened to everything that I asked her and she came up with amazing vibrant red streaks to go throughout my black hair. She was extremely professional and refreshingly personable. I will recommend her and definitely be back!!

  • 5

    I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

    Michelle Knight is by far the best hair stylist I have ever had. She always cuts my hair just how I envisioned it and the conversation is always good! I love the feel of the salon, great decor! I would recommend Swish to anyone!

    Michelle and team were friendly, listened to what I wanted, and delivered with 5 stars. I really enjoyed my time there and my hair color and cut turned out perfect. It was raining cats and dogs and Michelle escorted me out to my car with a nice big umbrella to protect my new beautiful hair. I have found my new favorite hair place:)

    Wonderful haircut, time and time again

    I started going to Michelle Marie several months ago after moving to Tacoma and struggling to find anyone able to cut my short hair. She is incredible! She has helped me get through "maybe I want to grow it out" phases - giving me a great style when I could have easily ended up with a mullet. And when I made the (probably infuriating) decision to go pixie again, she gave me the best short cut I have ever had. Michelle Marie is great - I would recommend her to anyone!

    Love my new hair color!

    As a new client, I was looking for a fresh take on my current coloring habits, and I am very pleased with the results! Kelly was a great conversationalist, the salon is decorated nicely, and the prices very reasonable. I will return!

    SO happy!

    I just had my first appointment at Salon Swish. Kelly trimmed and slightly re-shaped my curly, shoulder-length hair for me, and I am LOVING it! He knew exactly what it needed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The salon was able to provide sulfate-free/ silicone-free products which I prefer. Loved the low-key, relaxed, hip environment of the salon, too! I look forward to returning in a few months for my next haircut with Kelly!

    Excellent service. Superior results. Go to Salon Swish without delay!!

    Michelle gave me a wonderful new "do" and I'm very happy with the color and cut. I highly recommend this salon. I plan to return soon to this high class establishment.

    Fabulous Experience

    Michelle K. was so nice and knew exactly what I wanted. I have a totally new do and I love it! She used her expertise to calm me and really explain what she was doing. I cant wait to go back!

    Great looks come from Salon Swish

    I get so many compliments about my great color I receive from Matilda! I have a great cut from Michelle Knight too!! I enjoy going downtown and supporting Tacoma.

  • 5

    Amazing Talent!

    With no specifics other than I want it short and I hate “doing” my hair....I walked out with an amazing cut (which I have received multiple compliments on) that I don’t have to do a thing with other than use some palm aid and part it with my hands. Thanks Salon Swish!

  • 5

    It's only been a day and I've had four compliments!

    Just had my hair cut by Kelly and he was great! I went out for the first time today and already have had many compliments on my new cut. In fact, two people wanted the salon and stylist's name. I have thick, naturally curly hair and for years I've been trying to find a professional salon that actually knew what they were doing. I have been very disappointed until now. Thanks, Kelly, for a wonderful cut and great conversation. I believe I've finally found what I have been looking for!!

    They did a great job

    Matilda did a great job on my color, and Michelle was awesome with my super-short pixie cut. They were fast too! As a working woman, I can't spend all day in the salon, but they had me out in two hours, color and cut. I will definitely be back.

  • 5

    Matilda is 5 Stars and then some.

    As long as she remains in the business, Mati is the only person who will ever color my hair. I've been to the best and the most expensice salons. She's the only one who gets me and gets the color just right! Not red, not brassy, but a warm and perfect color every time!

  • 4

    The products were great.

    Kelly was yery helpful in straightening out my hair color and also helping me with finding products that would help with my hair dryness. Morrocco is Amazing as Kelly says. I will most likely be back.

  • 5

    Erica Is AWESOME!

    She did a wonderful job on my Gelish manicure I highly recommend her also for short cuts and color! The salon is fun sassy and friendly. She is also great with weddings.

    Open on Mondays!

    I was quite satisfied with the hair cut and customer service at Swish. I have been struggling to find a salon that is open on my days off (Sunday and Monday) and have finally found the place. Erica gave me a good trim though I provided minimal and probably very confusing instructions. The atmosphere was relaxed, stylish, and comfortable and the alley location is very charming. Price seemed to be close to other similar salons in Tacoma.

  • 5

    First times a charm!

    I move every few years and always have a hard time finding a good stylist. I have tried very upscale and very basic salons just to find someone who will listen and then actually do what I want to my hair. I was lucky enough to have found such a stylist (thank you Michelle K.) while visiting my first salon in Tacoma, which I might add, is a nice mix of upscale and affordable. I was comfortable and walked away happy with little change jinglin in my pocket.

    back alley salon

    trying to find the location is rather diffcult senice the street only seem s to be one block long. But once instead its a colage of fresh vibrent colors and designs. the individuals seem quite nice and have a professional maner about them. the only down side to such a nice location is the fact its very expesnive. so if your a poor guy like me this is a nice place to vist but not call home.

    Salon Swish ~ A place to find your style!

    I've been getting my hair done by Michelle Longmore at Salon Swish for over a year now and I always leave feeling like I wish I'd come in sooner. I'm 110% satisfied every time! Thanks for making me beautiful!

  • 5

    Would recommend to anyone looking for a great cut/color

    I really like the environment in this salon. It's obvious Erica loves her profession. She cuts my hair as well as my eight year old sons hair. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new stylist. Especially anyone that may have been trying some "at home" cutting and coloring in need of a fix.

  • 5

    New Do = New Me

    I finally took the plunge to cut my long hair and give up the pony tail. Kelly was so skillful in his cutting and styling that I left Swish wondering why I had put it off for so long. This is amazing. I feel like a new person!

  • 5

    Kelly

    Kelly is AWESOME!!!!! I have also LOVED my hair when he has cut, colored etc..... I will not let anyone else touch my hair!! He is very professional and personal, and listens to all your wants and needs. Can I just say he is Extraordinaire!!!!!

  • 5

    awesome experience

    I bought 3 groupons for myself, my mother and sister. We went in not exactly sure what we wanted done with our hair and walked out loving our cuts! Good advice and enough time to get to know us and our lifestyles made for 3 happy customers! I liked the fact that our stylist took the time to show us how to fix our hair later on too, we've all been able to duplicate the same cute styles as the salon did!

  • 4

    Great Place!

    Erika did an excellent job with my hair and made sure that I got what I wanted. The entire staff was friendly and the location is great. I'm looking forward to going back.

  • 5

    Kelly is wonderful!

    So after a year hiatus from salons i finally booked an appointment with Kelly after hearing friends rant and rave how amazing he cut their hair.. I walk in nervous and right away i get a big smile and asked how i am like he knew who i was and was expecting me. Then he took a few minutes looked at my hair asked what i wanted then off to get shampooed and washed up.. He took so much into consideration while cutting my hair, the texture, length and it's current condition SO WONDERFUL!!!!

  • 5

    Love this salon

    The atmosphere is awesome and the color and cut I got was so well done I am thrilled. The only thing is the parking situation, but it is worth having to run out to feed the meter for such awesome customer service and professional salon treatment!!

  • 5

    Love It!

    After seeing what Kelly did at the Glam that Gives event. I wanted a big change and he delivered. I love my color and cut and have gotten nothing but great comments and compliments. I would highly recommend Kelly and Salon Swish.

  • 5

    Ask for Kelly

    Kelly has cut and highlighted my hair twice now and each time I have been extremly pleased. It is the first time I have ever been anywhere that I have loved the cut, color and the style. I used to go home and restyle my hair. Now I just wish I could go in every day and have Kelly style it for me. I highly recommend Kelly at Salon Swish!!

  • 5

    Great Salon

    I've been to multiple salons that claim to be "the one you'll love to tell your friends about." And every time, they've been a waste of my time and money. However, I looked online and found salon swish and decided to give it a shot. Ericka cut my hair and did a great job! She asked a lot of questions to make sure she was doing what I wanted. I will defiantly be going back!

  • 5

    Matilda is AWESOME

    I am a natural redhead...and that is the problem. As my hair needed "enhancement", salon colorists would continually get the wrong shades. I've been orange, burgandy, and off the wall colors in between. BUT MATILDA GOT IT RIGHT...From day one! I'm now back to looking natural and I love it, so does my husband. If Matilda can get red right, she can DO ANYTHING! Thanks Matilda. You are greatly appreciated.

  • 5

    Michelle Longmore continually makes me look good...

    Michelle's been making me look as good as possible for over...well, let's just say, "a while, now." As a fashion photographer, I need to look as though someone put thought into my haircut and Michelle delivers everytime. Michelle is overflowing with style herself, she knows what to do and how to do it. Thanks Michelle!

  • 5

    Need a Color Speacialist?

    What better of a person can you think of to do your color but someone who strictly does just that, everyday all day! I wouldn't go to anyone else for color, she is fantastic and knows her stuff. Been going to Matilda for 14 yrs now!!

  • 5

    Fabulous cut & color from Michelle Knight

    I love my cut an color by Michelle Knight! She does an amazing job at determining what works best for my hair texture, face shape and coloring. I always walk away feeling happy and grateful that she is my stylist. Thank you! Salon Swish is a fabulous place and would recommend it to anyone.

    Great cut, froma another stylist.

    Thanks Michelle, its never easy to cut another stylists hair. You were stellar! Thanks for your patience and communicative nature and the back hairline is way cute (:

  • 5

    Swish is a fabulous Salon

    I love Salon Swish and most especially my stylist/ colorist, Michelle L. She does a great job takes so much time to get just what you want, is willing to be flexible with her schedule. & I get tons of compliments on my Hair <3 love her!!

  • 5

    My hair is young again!

    Kelly has been highlighting my hair for the past year. He makes it so natural looking He listens to me and produces what I am looking for. He's a true artist. Salon Swish has a great feel! Very professional.

  • 5

    What's not to love?

    The ambiance and the professionalism, outstanding! A cut above, no pun intended. I adore Kelly. No one will ever touch my hair again other than him. The entire shop is filled with nothing but expert stylists. You are truely settling for second best if you go anywhere else.

  • 5

    Fabulous!!

    Michelle Knight is incredible. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise. She never disappoints and I would highly recommend her. Salon Swish is #1 in my book.

  • 5

    Love it!

    Kelly cut my teenage son's hair this weekend.. First time ever that mom and son are both happy. Not only looks good, but price was reasonable .Very, very pleased.

  • 5

    Awesome Haircut!

    I had a great first experience at Salon Swish. Kelly was incredible and made my hair look fantastic. I went pretty short and was kind of nervous, but the end result was super sassy! Many thanks!

  • 5

    Loving my style by Michelle Knight!

    As always Michelle did a fantastic job! As a long time customer I can always count on receiving a great style and coloring. Thanks for keeping me "in style".

  • 5

    Color by Kelly

    Kelly did a fabulous job with my all over color and style. He worked with me to pick a color that was both flattering and inventive for a new look. He is a very capable and innovative stylist. I will definitely be back!

  • 5

    haircut bought with groupon

    enjoyed the girl who cut and styled my hair....seems like a good cut.. I will come back..she was willing to work with my curly thick hair and it seems to be working well.

  • 5

    Look no further!

    This is the place! There are no accidents, this is a relationship that was meant to be which also means I now have a good relationship with my hair. Oh it feels so good not to fight with my hair every morning or say uggg! Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit. But I really do love this place. Michelle listens to me and makes sure she understands what I'm conveying (or trying to convey) I'm there every 7-8 weeks w/o fail which speaks for itself.

  • 5

    so helpful and passionate about hair!

    Had an amazing experience and found someone to goto for years to come. Very willing to offer advise and tips and was very gentle with my first face waxing.

  • 5

    Eclectic Chic Salon with great service!

    I had a great experience with Kelly! I booked last minute because I was going out of town the next day on vacation to Vegas and needed to freshen up! I have extremely thick hair and I'm very picky about it but I trusted the yelp reviews of the salon and decided to give Swish a try! I was extremely impressed all around! I was greeted with a warm tea and great service. I LOVE the cut! He strategically softened my "shaggy" long hair so it falls nicely and gave me great tips for styling!!!

  • 5

    Love the partial highlights

    I saw Kelly last week for a partial foil, and LOVE it! Thank you. Customer for life - thank you Groupon! Can't wait for my next visit, cut & full foil

  • 5

    Great!

    My experience with Erica at Salon Swish was great! I have naturally curly hair that not all stylists understand, but she did and gave me a great haircut to help my curls develop properly. She also said if I felt like I needed a little more off, that I could just contact her and she would fix it... which I really appreciate since it's tough to tell how curly hair is going to fall. Overall a good experience and a very cute salon.

  • 5

    Excellent

    I really enjoyed my first visit to Salon Swish. The salon is conveniently located, spacious inside, and has a fun, artfully decorated atmosphere. I like to online appointment program with confirmation emails. Kelly did a great job on my hair- he was friendly, careful, and gave me exactly the look I asked for.

  • 5

    the best

    From the time I arrived at opera alley to the time I departed Swish, I had an incredible time. From $1.50 on street parking for all day Saturday to the great coffee the experience was terrific. Kelly was amazing. He heard what I said and created the most awsome hair style I have had in years. Iwill be back.

  • 5

    Super Place for a Do!

    Nice folks, professional, artistic, friendly and great hair masters. Convenient downtown location. A friend recommended Kelly and he does a great job at a reasonable price.

  • 5

    Kelly is fabulous

    Kelly has been doing my hair for about a year. I love the Redken products that he uses and he has helped me grow my hair out into a healthy and beautiful blonde. In addition Kelly has done my hair & make up for many special occasions to the rave of my friends as well as volunteering to do specialty make up for our Broadway Center student shows, much to the delight of the students. He is a talented , wonderful person and stylist. xo

    Michelle Marie is great

    Tried 'em all.......

    I've been to almost everyone around, but I've faithfully followed Erica for over 5 years, now to Salon Swish. She is wonderful....my hair has never looked better. I love this salon for it's unique decor and the great energy. I have referred several of my friends and family and they have all been happy, too. My only issue here is that there isn't much parking.....

  • 5

    Awesome salon!

    I love my hair!! Michelle did an amazing job. Love the vibe and atmosphere of the salon too! I definitely recommend Salon Swish to all my friends and family!

  • 5

    Kelly Is Amazing

    Salon Swish provids a great vibe and look. I love the decor and open space it has. All the people there are great Kelly has been cutting my hair for about a year and I always send my friends and family. He does an AMAZING job at what he does. He is a true artist. He really listens to what i have to say and always leave my hair looking awesome. People at work always ask me where a great place to cut hair is...I know exactly where to send them. Swish Salon is my top choice

  • 5

    Michelle is Awesome!

    Salon Swish is a cool space, nice and open. The decor is funky and fun! Michelle Knight was really great, I had an all over color and haircut. She really listened to my input during our consultation, which I greatly appreciate, being a Stylist myself. She also steered me away from a more expensive option of color, since she knew it wasn't necessary for my needs. Which was super honest and kind of her. I would highly recommend Salon Swish, and Michelle Knight to anyone!

    Mathilda is the Best Hair Colorist in Tacoma

    I wouldn't let anyone else color my hair. Mathilda is extremely talented, understands hair, color and what is best for your complexion. She is fabulous. The positive energy in Swish is palpable, all the stylist are engaged with their customers and there is a warm and relaxed feeling in the Salon.

  • 5

    Awesome, Amazing and Beautiful!!!

    Kelly cut my hair and touched up my color. I had just had a new doo done a couple months ago when I won a makeover through a local TV program and was it was done by a salon in Seattle. The Seattle salon was amazing, but I have to say Kelly did a better job. It was the first time in my whole life that I actually walked out of a salon and was happy the way it was styled..I didnt want to ever have to wash my hair or lay down on it! lol.....Kelly is my new HERO !

  • 5

    Kelly Christopherson

    Kelly did an amazing job. Coming in I was scared of the typical outcome that I got in the past where the stylist didn't cut my hair into the style I described, not this time though. Kelly showed knowledge and care in my hair by really taking that time to evaluate what I had going on my head and was uncomonly comfortable in conversation about what I wanted done. There was no pressure, no rush, no miscommunication. I scheduled a date for my trim On my Way out and will do so everytime.

  • 5

    Fabulous!!

    I've already gotten so many compliments on how great my haircut and color look. Everyone loves it including me. Michelle does excellent work. I always look forward to my appointments.

  • 5

    Absolutely amazing!

    When I went into Swish I had long curly hair that was unmanageable. When I left I had a beautifully colored and styled inverted bob from Erica. She is great! She completely worked with the things I still wanted my short hair to be able to do. She took the time to style it and made sure I was happy with everything. This is the healthiest I think my hair has ever been, and I get compliments all the time on my hairstyle. Definitely give Swish a try, and if you have curly hair, go to Erica!

  • 5

    Loved it!

    Kelly was great! He took his time and really helped me to understand how to style and work with my hair. Swish was a welcoming place that I will recommend to friends and will definitely be returning.

  • 5

    I love my hair!

    I love Salon Swish. The company is very professional and creative. They have great prices and customer service. Everytime I walk out of the salon I have a smile on my face and I feel beautiful!

    Ivan is the man!

    i went in with this nasty mop growing from my head and just wanted it all to be cut off! so i gave Ivan a general idea of what i wanteed and had him have his creative hand at it! and now my hair looks amazing! he was very proffessional and really knew how to make my hair look great! i will for sure be going back!

  • 5

    Lovin my hair!

    Great chill enviornment, good suggestions for haristyles, Ivan is awesome, fantastic tea, quick but on point hair cut and best of all; people who enjoy cutting hair and seeing satisfied customers. Thanks salon swish, I'll be back

  • 5

    Ivan is great!

    I just had my hair cut with a new style and had blonde highlights and LOVE it. Ivan was a perfectionist. He cut my hair exactly how I wanted and he offered great suggestions to make it perfect. The highlights look so natural too. Just be prepaired that it will take a long time due to his attention to doing it perfect. It took 3 hours but looks great.

  • 5

    Customer Service? Superb!

    I work at a local warehouse in Tacoma where I noticed a woman's hair and she quickly said Matilda at Swish salon. I called up Matilda, had an appt. and have been thrilled every since. She knows her stuff and I will recommend her to everyone I know wanting their hair done right. Customer service? truly amazing.

  • 5

    Go see Kelly

    Kelly is both a fantastic stylist and colorist. My hair lays so beautifully now with little effort on my part. The color is flattering and natural looking. I enjoy the ambiance of the salon, but most of all I enjoy Kelly's attention to detail, he's gentle, and a fantastic person.Go see him, you will looove him!!

  • 5

    Outstanding results

    After being with my prior head stylist for almost three years and not feeling like my partial foils were the results I expressed. Someone in my office recommended Kelly at Swish . A week ago I saw Kelly for my first visit and my hair looks great. I feel pretty again and have recieved many compliments on the color. He really listened to my request and my concerns. I look forward to my next visit.

  • 5

    I love looking at myself in the mirror.

    I feel like a fashion model, and I'm 60! Kelly listened to everything a said I wanted and did that and better. Cuter and more fun than I anticipated. I definitely don't feel like the grandmother of 6.

  • 5

    Outstanding!

    Matilda is amazing! I left Swish and stopped at Costco for a couple things. I had two people stop and ask me who colored my hair and they wanted a name and phone number! Thank you Matilda and Swish for making me feel like a million bucks!!

  • 5

    Very uptown

    I have been going to Swish every month for over a year and I am always happy with my hair when I leave, but the neatest part is the darling environment,decorated to make your visit extra special! I want all the furniture for my home! Everyone leaves looking like a BABE, how bad can that be. Thanks Swish

  • 5

    Another Awsome Experience

    Went to Salon Swish for the second time to see Kelly he is a awsome job I had had my color messed up at another salon after trying to go dark and he got me back to exactly what I was looking for. He always takes his time which with my thick hair ends up being 3 hours but it looks great, and I love my new cut too.

  • 5

    Fabulous collor

    Matilda does such a great job on my hair. I come in looking a mess, and leave with beutiful hair. .No more skunk head for me, yeah. Thank you Matilda

  • 5

    Versatility

    My hair was very long and I wanted a cut that could move or "swish" in any way any time. Kelly did it. He has personalized my hair design. It's hard finding stylists that can do that. Kelly can and did for me! Awesome!

  • 5

    Great Experience

    Erica was a great gal by putting me into a Sunday spot in which she normally does not work, I got a Fabulous Hair cut/color and was very happy with it. Thank you Erica!

  • 5

    Erica KNOWS my hair

    I've been going to Erica for a few years now, and she is the first hairdresser to cut my hair the way it should be cut. After fighting with my hair my whole life, I finally have a cut that works! You can tell that she loves what she does. Just magic!

  • 5

    Kelly is the best!

    Mr. Christopherson is awesome! Highly recommended! I always get compliments on how good my hair looks! He is always accommodating and always willing to fit me in last minute. Thanks Kelly!

  • 5

    Ivan Kostenko is AMAZING!

    By far the best salon experience I have ever had! Ivan has done my hair twice now, first a color and just recently a cut and color, and I am sooooo happy with how it turned out. He matched the exact color I wanted both times and the cut is to die for! Before I started going to Ivan I had my hair done by the same women for years...its safe to say she won't be seeing me anymore. I love the atmosphere at Salon Swish and I will definitely be going there for ALL my hair needs!

  • 5

    Michelle Marie

    Michelle gave me the edge I was looking for! When I have asked for a blunt bang in the past, it always was cute, but never quite what I was looking for, but Michelle really listened and gave me the cut and color I was wanting. Very professional, on time, and great urban neighborhood! I will be back!

  • 5

    Kelly Christopherson is fabulous

    I am so pleased with my very difficult multi-layered cut. I'm used to very high end stylist in L.A. Kelly rates right up there with the best. He's very skilled and I highly recommend him.

  • 5

    Kelly Christopherson

    Kelly is a brilliant artist. He transformed my scraggly, over-highlighted mop into a chic, sophisticated, multi-dimensional head of luxurious blonde hair worthy of a shampoo commercial. Weeks later, I'm still getting raves from my friends about the new 'do. I'll be back!

  • 5

    Michelle Marie

    I've stepped out of my comfort zone and given Michelle the lead in giving me a hairstyle that fits into my lifestyle. Who wouldn't want a hairstyle that works, looks wonderful and adds life!..You know it works when people stop and ask who does your hair! Excellent work Michelle. Thank you!!!!!

  • 5

    Ivan Kostenko

    I was very pleased with my hair cut. Ivan knows exactly what he is doing and how hair should be taken care of. He is very excellent and professional and i was overall very impressed. If you are looking for a haircut, especially if you are a guy looking for something different, you should definitely check out getting your hair cut by Ivan.

  • 5

    Erica's the best!!!

    Erica does a fabulous job with my hair and always takes time to answer questions and give great suggestions! My hair has never looked healthier or had better style. Plus the time during my appointment flies by...no awkward silences, we always have something to chat about!!

  • 5

    Ivan was great!

    I love my hair, and it's something I wasn't sure about trying. I've never had anyone cut my bangs the way I want, but I was very satisfied when I left. Not to mention, Ivan was very friendly and made it a lot of fun.

  • 5

    Eclectic!

    Salon Swish is that rare find; a mixture of contemporary culture and often forgotten curtesies of former days. At each appointment I've been cheerfully greeted, seated in a timely manner and listened to as I described in layman's terms my latest hair idea. My stylist often takes on the role of a true artist as she interprets my idea and adds her own perspective, always mindful of what suits me. She is a masterful artist! Thank you Salon Swish for making each visit relaxing and exciting

  • 5

    Best Salon!!

    The awesome atmosphere matches the amazing staff!! I highly recommend this salon to any and everyone. My hair always looks better after a Salon Swish visit!

  • 5

    ALWAYS a great job!!

    Erica can be depended upon to be consistent and creative. I get a lot of complements!! Because of the excellent cuts, I can manage it well!! And the color and cut lasts for several weeks. Others in my family go to Erica. I highly recommend her for all ages.

  • 5

    Michelle Knight ROCKS

    I have been going to Michelle for years and most all my friends now go to her now too. I have never been disapointed. Thank you for all you do to make us Hot mommas!

    My hair looks completely RAD

    I got exactly what i was hoping for- a great designer who wouldn't let me down (Erica). I keep getting head turns wherever I go! I would highly recommend!

    Very chic and relaxing

    I was very pleased with my visit to swish Michelle did a great job. She listened to what I wanted & made a few great suggestions that worked well. Great color expert and the cut was short, chic and sassy, I loved it so did my husband!

  • 5

    Michelle Marie is the BEST!

    I have known Michelle for years and I can't imagine anyone else touching my hair. My hair is very thick and she knows how to layer it so I don't feel as if I have to cut it every other week. She is laid back and really listens to what you want. She's the best!

  • 5

    Kelly is AWESOME!!!

    I had a wonderful experience at salon Swish! I am from Afghanistan so my hair is pretty thick, naturally curly, and loads of it. It's rare I get a cut and color I like but Kelly did a fantastic job at a VERY reasonable price considering all of the foils he used to do my highlights. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and just all around on point. I'm sure you probably get bags of nice letters every week! Thanks a ton. God bless!

  • 5

    Fantastic Job

    Just wanted to say I was extremely impressed by Michelle Marie's thorough consultation before getting started on my hair. She made sure we were on the same page and that what I had in mind was a realistic goal to achieve. She definatly exeeded my expectations. I would highly recomend her to anyone wanting a pro to do your hair.

    Style

    Michelle has cut my hair since my early twenties - I'm 44 - Best cut - best value - I dont trust anyone else especialy those $50 rip off places w/ personality issue's

    Michelle was so awesome!! So generous with her time and did an amazing job on my cut and highlights. I have never been complimented more on a haircut! My coworkers cant stop talking about "Courtnay's cute hair!" Thank you!!

    Thanks Erica!

    Thank you Erica for taking the time to listen to what I was comfortable with having done and making my naturally curly hair feel healthy and beautiful again. She actually cut the curls at their normal dry length, instead of wet and weighed down, and I walked out with a perfect cut and foil.

    Kelly is the best

    I went in for a complete change in hair color and style. Kelly was so awesome and I told him to do what he thought would look great. He didn't let me down and I got sooooo many compliments at work today. He was able to see what would look best for me and did a great job. Yeah! I finally found someone to do my hair that is fearless and gets me! Thanks Kelly you're the best!

    Great Cut

    I have had Erica cut my hair 3 times now and have been super happy with all of them. I feel that she has a good knowledge about what she's doing and the imagination to see how your hair will work with what you want. She also will let you know if your hair type works with a style you are thinking about, which is great because you don't walk out with a cut unsuitable for your type of hair. Thanks!

    Love my new hair

    I went to see Kelly at Salon Swish after I had a really bad color expierience after trying to go dark at my high end salon. My hair was a mess but Kelly made his suggestions on how to fix it and not ruin my hair in the process and he did exactly that he gave me the best color he really took his time to get it there. I am so happy with it its exactly what I wanted.

    Great Experience

    Kelly was great! He was fun to talk with and really listened to what I wanted. He adapted it to fit my hair type and I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks! :) Thanks Kelly!!!

    Gotta Try

    Owner, Michelle Knight is so creative and caring about getting your hair the healthiest it can be. I would try stylists recommended and be disappointed again as I cussed all the way home and wasting a lot of money yet again. Now I am so confident my hair will be exactly what I want when Michelle is done. You have got to visit this cute little salon tucked away in Opera Alley. It is so cool and cute, just like Michelle! Thanks Michelle for getting my hair to grow again.You are so awesome!!

    cut and color

    First, my stylist was late. She was also very unprofessional answering her cell phone right in the middle of my service! The color she choice was not dark enough to cover my other color, so now i have to make another appointment and go back. After the shampoo she just walked away from me and didnt even ask me to follow her! Very poor customer service and not professional at all. She did a good job on my bangs and hair cut, but i did not think paying what i did matched the service.

    Luv It

    Kelly's just the best for my first time at Salon Swish. Kelly created a hair design with attention to detail. He also provided recommendations for hair tooling and products. I will definitely go back!!!

    Outstanding mens haircut. (scissors & clippers )

    Great haircut / shampoo! Absolutely tremendous experience at a good value ( 25 ) would recommend Kelly Christopherson to anyone sick of rolling the dice on a hair cut. Extremely good fading, texturizing and attention to detail - uncommon to say the least. Call this place up and book an appointment with him!

    The Best!

    I have had my hair done only by Kellie for the last couple of years. He is incredibley artistic! I totally let him decide the colors and when you tell him what you want done with your cut, he listens. I have never been unhappy and will never go anywhere else! Thank you Kellie for making me feel beautiful!!

    Artist creativity

    Michelle was amazing! After many bad experiences with hair cuts I was about to give up. I was so nervous. Michelle was so kind and her salon is so cute and unique. I didn't know what I wanted and she had so many ideas that I never eben heard of. I felt like I could trust her right away. I looked awesome and get so many compliments! She definitely takes hair cuts to a different level. I got to learn dome cool places in tacoma too.

    What do you get when you combine Positive Energy, Creativity and great customer service.........SWISH. I love the fact that even though this is a nice upscale Salon even a country boy feels at home. Great job Michelle!

    Michelle is great!

    Probably one of the most difficult things in life is to find someone that can cut your hair the way you like, everytime. It took a few years of looking when I first moved here but Michelle is one of the best, ever.

    You Will LOVE Salon Swish!

    I have followed Kelly to Salon Swish, and couldn't be happier! Kelly is friendly, creative and fun to work with. He has made me look terrific, and given me a style that I love AND that I can make look terrific at home! Love the space, and the location is SO convenient. Opera Alley is a true gem in the downtown area. Follow up your appointment at the salon with a visit to Over the Moon restaurant or one of the fantastic shops on the Alley, and you've created a mini-indulgence for yourself!

    Amazing Salon, Great Stylists

    I love this salon. It's fun, comfortable, gorgeous. I always see Kelly, because he is amazing at what he does and a lot of fun to chat with. Before finding him, I didn't get a single haircut in the Tacoma-area that I liked. Now everytime I go, I know I'll like the result.

    Perfect Salon Experience

    I've visited several area salons searching for a salon that could deliver exactly what I wanted. That is when I found Kelly Christopherson at Swish Salon. I look forward to every visit to the salon because I know I am going to be happy with the results. I highly recommend Swish salon to anyone wanting a great experience in a trendy environment.

    Love it!

    I'm very happy to have found Michelle. I will follow her anywhere...(she better not move out of state) : ) The location is good, parking is a challenge sometimes, but worth it. Michelle has great style which is reflected in her salon and the people that she has working there. Friendly, positive and on time.
