Store

The original Vain, located in a graffiti-covered building in Belltown, has been your People's Picks choice for best hair salon for three years running. While not as large as its Belltown parent, Vain Ballard strives for the same high standard. Every one of its stations is comfortable and bathed in natural light. The salon carries a large selection of hair-care products -- including PureOlogy, Bed Head, Sebastian, d:Fi, Davines and more -- as well as a fair assortment of accessories and merchandise, from stylish hats to letterpress greeting cards. You'll want to browse through these goods after your cut or color, and maybe grab a tea from Miro next door while you're doing it.

The stylists of Vain are expert at making hair look awesome, and Ballard is fortunate to have their talents so close at hand. The patrons of the neighborhood's bars and restaurants are about to get a fresh infusion of confidence.
