Annie is simply fantastic! Not only is she a joy to talk to and hang out with, she does excellent cut and coloring. The gorgeous indigo purple she put in my hair over a month ago still looks bright and beautiful! The cut is exactly what I asked for and looks great, she knew just what to do for my hair type. Treat yourself to a very professional and relaxing massage by Joe too, my back has some serious issues and I felt better for 3+ days after his healing hands. These folks are well worth the drive from West Seattle for their amazing services!!
Annie used to do my hair about 10 years ago back when I lived in Seattle and I recently visited her in her shop Annie Firefly last week to get my naturally curly hair cut, colored an ombre red/burgundy/plum, and Brazilian blowout and I am beyond impressed as are my friends, family and colleagues. I live in California but literally will now fly to Seattle to get my hair done by Annie every single time because she is that good and I do not want anybody else touching my hair at this point. I am quite particular because of my natural curly tresses and have had several poor and also mediocre experiences (especially with white people doing my hair) but Annie has never had any problems working with my hair texture or curls at all and actually is hands down the best hair stylist and colorist that I have ever had. I know she does all types of hair, all genders, all cuts and styles and I can not think of a color or style that she can not pull off. Because of my professional job, I was looking for something unique yet subtle and still professional and Annie nailed it like she always has before. She got exactly what I was going for and I have gotten so many compliments about my hair ever since she did it. My hair is still healthy and soft and she helped me pick out some products for home to help me maintain this new color that she had in the shop which also have worked very well for me and were actually very affordable given the fact that I bought a big bottle of sulfate-free shampoo, conditioner, leave-in-conditioner, and a curl moisturizer all for $100 that will last me quite a while.The location is small and quaint although very clean and minimalistic with lots of plants and artwork. It is relaxing and comfortable and I am a big woman so this matters! The location is super easy to get to and she has ample parking in the front. She was on time to the appointment and was so thorough and made sure I was comfortable the entire time and continued to gauge my opinion throughout the process such as making sure we were on the same page in terms of color before she began including providing swatches and mixing colors and showing them to me on white cards and even made sure I liked the color on a smaller portion of my hair before completing my entire head. Her prices are more than fair given the extreme level of color mastery and skill that Annie has.To top this all off, Annie is an extremely kind, upfront, honest, and hilarious person and I really enjoyed spending time with her in her salon as it felt just like catching up with an old friend. She is very loyal to her clients and she is flexible with timing as I was able to call a week early and move my appointment up an hour without any hesitation due to a change in my schedule.There is a small room in the studio dedicated to massage as well that I didnt check out but plan on doing so next time as it looked very relaxing and I cant think of a better pamper day than a massage and a good wash/color/cut/blowout. Overall, I have already contacted Annie for my next appointment for a color re-touch and am excited to come back! I hope this review helps other people find Annie because she is likely what you need in your life.
Love Annie! My hair is perfect!! Shes like talking to a long lost family member ❤
Absolutely love Annie and she does amazing bright colors! She really works with me to ensure I love my hair.
Annie is The Best!! I cant rave about her enough. So skilled, talented, and friendly. I just love her. And her new space is PERFECTION.
Annie is awesome!!!! She does a fabulous job on your hair, is fun to hang out with and she has all the quality of a high end salon while making me feel perfectly at ease in my casual target attire.
Annie is the BEST! I wont let anyone else ever touch my hair. She styles the whole family, me, my 11 year old daughter and husband. We found Annie on a whim (my daughter really wanted a skrillex cut and I sure wasnt going to do it) and, years later, weve been going to her ever since. She really hears you when you describe what you want your hair to look like. Ive never felt so heard by a stylist in my life. Not only is she is a a true artist, shes also incredibly charming and hilarious. Her new salon in Sandpoint is relaxing and super stylish. We love Annie!
Best hair cut in a very long time. Annes place is cozy and shes very likable. High recommended.
Annie has been one of the best hairstylists I have gone to especially with hair coloring. I was told many times by other hairstylists that my black hair could not achieve a lighter color such as a pastel pink or purple. However, Annie was able to do this and my hair looks amazing (It is also still very strong/healthy). Annie really listens to what you want and works with you on creating a look that best suits you. Plus, she recommends high quality products that have been very good for my hair. Highly recommend visiting her for all of your hair styling needs!
Great cut, gorgeous color and TINSLE! I always get compliments when Annie does my hair.
Went there the first time they know what they doing and they are so polite and the vibe is cool there. definitely going there again soon
I have been coming to Annie for years because she is amazing. She is so knowledgeable about color, cuts, trends.. Annie has a incredible personality and I always look forward to my appointments. Her new salon is great! Plenty of parking. The inside is clean and bright. I highly recommend Annie for any of your hair needs.
I love coming to see Annie! You are greeted with a cold drink and a cheerful welcome every time. She’s very reasonably priced for the quality of her cuts and for a very convenient location. The head massage is incredible. I always get compliments on my hair after I’ve been. And she’s hilarious.
It is not hyperbole to say that Annie is one of the most important people in my life. She has helped me discover new styles and expressions for my hair that I never would have found on my own. I feel like my best self when Im rocking a fresh cut from my girl Annie. And on top of all that she is a BLAST to hang with. I always look forward to our appointments.Thank you Annie!
Best barbershop in town and would never go anywhere else! Great cuts and great barbers!
Annie has been coloring my hair all the crazy shades of green I could ever have imagined. Seriously though, I love working with her because she listens very well to what I want and is up for mixing and testing colors until we find that perfect shade for this visit. That and we always have a good chat and a few chuckles- easy going, truly listens to what you, and I love the new location with her own salon space so it feels like I am hanging out with a friend, not processed through a series of stations sandwiched between other folks. In case you can’t tel, I like Annie and the work she does is worth traveling to even now I live further away- wouldn’t trust anyone else with my color work!
Annie is great! Super nice and does spectacular tinseling to make you sparkle. We found her by accident, and have since been back...and Im going to schedule another appointment for myself. My daughter, and my mom got the tinseling for their birthdays! It was great fun!
High energy, high quality, so glad she is back in business after covid!
Ive been seeing Annie for about 3 years for trims, partial highlights, and toner. Prices are fair and forward and shes really great at understanding what you want and suggesting a couple of things here and there.Ive mostly done the express cuts/highlights since I have really fine hair, but Ive never felt like a second-rate customer (you just have less time).I think Annie keeps up with modern trends and has a really interesting background as an international hair stylist.Enjoyable to spend time with in that shes fun, interesting, and doesnt reprimand me for my personal hair experiments haha. Every time I go is a treat and excited that shes started her own studio!

Annie is the only person I have gone to for years. Shes easy-going and great at hair. Ive had hairdressers in the past who always cut my hair too short but Annie listens carefully and seems to genuinely enjoy what she does! Highly recommended!
Annie is great! Shes been doing my hair for years!
Annie is the best. I’ve struggled in the past trying to find someone I want to return to for a haircut. Have been nothing but stoked on my cuts from Annie, have had her cut my hair at least 4 times and intend to go back. I have cowlicks all over my head, usually hairdressers struggle and I come out look like I stuck my head in a blender, Annie cuts my hair so I look great day of and it grows out really well. Would give 6/5 stars if I could.
Annie is a cheerful and very talented hair stylist. I’ve been going to her for two years even though I’ve moved further away. It’s worth the drive when you find someone who puts care and thought into their work the way Annie does.
I love getting my hair done by Annie. I have followed her for years. She knows just what to do with my hair. I don’t even have to tell her what I want. Plus she is so smart and funny! I look forward to the whole experience.
Annie has done great work on my hair for years. She’s struck out on her own and her new studio is lovely. It’s delightfully personal and easy to get to, with free parking and nearby bus lines.
Annie Firefly cuts hair to the perfection of each person she is serving. She is delightful and has a big heart. Even more awesome, she ties tinsel into hair.... brilliantly colored tinsel that lasts.
I absolutely loved my hair cut. Annie is so good at it, she gave my hair a very nice makeover the way i wanted. She was fun to talk to and was very amicable.Loved the place.
Annie is amazing! She always does a bang up job and is a lot of fun to spend time with. I recommend her to everyone! (Her salon is lovely, too.)
Annie Firefly is located in Sola Salons Suite #10 at Northgate North complex. Access is on level 4 of the Target parking garage and parking is free. Annie is an exceptional hairstylist with 10 years experience. Annies technique transcends gender so anyone will benefit from her stylistic expertise. LGBT friendly and inviting environment. Annie has a wealth of experience, international influence, and will bring your aesthetic into the modern age!
I hate getting my hair cut. Its the worst.Yet, for some reason, I look forward to going to visit Annie! She makes it super quick and easy, but more importantly she takes my horrible instructions and turns them into a look that makes me feel confident and put together. I found my forever hair stylist. Thanks for being awesome, Annie.
Love my time with Annie. She is excellent with my hair and she is an excellent human. I recommend her to people all the time!
Annie is amazing! You can tell she loves what she does and knows her business. I followed her to her new space and its so nice.
Annie is the best! She always goes above and beyond and I leave with a perfect haircut! Will only be going to her far into the foreseeable future!
Ive been seeing Annie for a little over a year and obviously I continue to go back for a reason. Annies super friendly and consistently gives me the cut Im looking for.
Great cut, perfect color... need I say more! Oh right, Annie also happens to be one of the nicest people!
Annie always gives a great haircut and is consistently fun to talk with.
My hair is healthy and happy (even when constantly cut and dyed) because of Annie ❤
I started going to Annie about 5 months ago for hair tinsel and have had a haircut and style and have another appt day after Thanksgiving for me and my niece ... Will always go back ... She even stocks stuff for clients to drink ...who does that in a salon?
Always does a great job, her space is super nice
Great cuts ..Annie is great!
