Store

There’s something sophisticated and exclusive about the location of this salon, situated on the fourth floor of the historic Pike and Pine Building. Though it lacks a visible street-level storefront, clients are finding it due to the reputation of its three-year old sister salon on Roosevelt. The salon has won numerous accolades for service and recognition for exclusive use of organic products, including color and Pureology shampoos and hair-styling products. The new light-filled space features Feng shui elements of wood, earth, metal, fire and water; a color palette of sage, Chinese red, and black; and a bank of large windows that wrap around the corner location.

Owner Joe Carling searched for a decade to come up with an organic color system that performs best. There’s no nasty ammonia smell with these products—just a pleasant anise scent. Pregnant women often choose it as the safest alternative to traditional hair dyes. Another bonus: The all-natural formula ensures you won’t walk out with dye stains all over your head. The salon has 10 stations staffed by experienced stylists who go the extra mile to give you the right lookand add a little pampering while they’re at it (a hand and forearm massage is included with your service).

Other services available at the salon: Micro pigmentation, which entails semi-permanent cosmetics introduced to the skin through vibration (less invasive than permanent cosmetics); eyelash extensions; facials; waxing; makeup; manicures and pedicures. The salon has also partnered with Darcey Howard, a style consultant ready and willing to revamp your closet, update your wardrobe and work with the pros at Mode to give you a new look & but a look that’s you.
