Known for its rockin' punk 'dos and can't-stop-staring-at-it color, Vain is your overwhelming choice for Seattle's best hair salon. But this graffiti-blasted Belltown beauty shop is so much more. A little bit boutique and a little bit beauty-supply store, Vain stocks everything from funky jewelry and ironic T-shirts to hair color for the DIY crowd and the best selection of dread wax in town. Stylists Raimey, Carly, Kelly and Liza (props for her work on curly hair) all received shout-outs from the people. More details
