About

Wicked Vivids is a hair salon at 5401 6th Ave, Suite 300, Studio 5 in Tacoma. It is LGBT+ owned and operated, and its co-owners Cara Weekly and Damon Vazquez both work behind the chair. The salon is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM and Sunday from 1 PM to 7 PM, and is closed Monday and Tuesday. Calls and texts can be made to (253) 248-7595 during business hours, and Spanish is spoken.

The salon aims to help each client arrive at a version of themselves that feels comfortable and true to them, pairing the stylists' skill with the client's own ideas. It also aims to keep the space safe, sustainable and comfortable. The salon's online profile describes its hair services as trauma informed.

Color is the core of the menu. Options run from natural-looking shades to bright fantasy colors, with blonde work ranging from golden to mushroom to platinum, plus root touch-ups for existing color and accent color on smaller sections. Vivids are booked by the estimated colors a client has in mind. Displayed prices are starting points, and a free consultation of 30 minutes or more gives a more accurate quote. New clients choose the consultation option and bring a test strand. Haircuts range from simple maintenance to larger transformations, include gender affirming cuts, and cover buzz cuts, children's cuts for kids up to 12, and quick outline and bang trims. Beard trims shape the outline and length, and shampoo and styling are also available.

Accessibility options are offered at no charge. When a client selects them, the stylist reaches out before the appointment to talk through accommodations. Cancellations need at least 24 hours notice by phone or text, and a 30% fee applies to no-shows and late cancellations. In-person Buy Now, Pay Later financing is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment.

The salon describes itself as a Certified Sustainable Salon and is a member of Green Circle Salons, which it says recycles and repurposes up to 95% of its salon waste. It uses biodegradable gloves and some capes made from recycled materials. Each $40 contribution funds a free haircut for someone in need, and people can apply through an online form.

The salon combines the stylists' skill with each client's own vision and aims for a safe, sustainable and comfortable setting.
