About

The Estuary is a privately owned hair salon in the center of Paradise Valley on Vashon Island. The salon describes itself as a privately owned wildlife preserve. It sits about 15 minutes from the Fauntleroy and Tahlequah ferries, and the full address is given when you book. The Vashon studio is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9am to 5pm.

Studio9003 is the Seattle location, on the 9th floor at 2401 Utah Ave S near Lander, inside Starbucks headquarters. Seattle guests with Saturday appointments are asked to text when they park, since the front doors are secured. Studio9003 is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 5pm, and every other Saturday from 9am to 3pm. The salon describes the space as a private place away from the intensity of professional life, and its gallery shows a rotating collection of work by local artists.

Color is decided together with each client and is usually booked with a cut. Balayage, 3 dimensional balayage, 3 dimensional painting, foil and basic color start at around $175 to $225 or more. Color correction is available on request and begins with a consultation; pricing for it is listed as to be determined on the Studio9003 page. A Designer Cut includes a shampoo and blow-dry. For clients who prefer not to travel, a VIP Concierge Service brings the stylist to the client on request.

The Estuary uses Keune products at Studio9003, chosen because they meet the salon owner's standard for performance and provenance.
