Factory Hair Seattle

Factory Hair Seattle is a West Seattle salon whose approach combines an interest in aromatherapy with a focus on sustainability. The salon's product lineup is vegan and uses AlterEgo Italy products, formulated without sulphates, parabens, ammonia, petrolatum and silicones where possible.

The salon says it aims to give each client a personalized experience. Denise Rivera, the owner, works with each person to find a look that suits their personality and lifestyle, from bold, edgy styles to classic cuts. The salon also works with busy professionals, wedding parties, and people preparing for photo shoots or film projects.

Appointments can be booked online through the site. Clients can also buy eGift cards in amounts of $25, $50, $100 or $150, or in a custom amount, for one person, several people, or as a group gift that several contributors pool money toward.

The online shop sells shampoos, conditioners and styling tools for taking salon-quality results home, with options for frizz control, volume and a sleek finish. The salon also invites stylists to apply through a careers form that asks for a portfolio link and a cover letter, and says it wants its workspace to be one where stylists can grow.
