Sylvé Imäge | The Salon, Seattle

Owner and stylist Sylvé holds not only a cosmetology certification, but also a degree in graphic design and animation and a master's in business. Even with all that training, the Seattle native still went on to hone his cutting and coloring skills with Louis Licari Salon and CUSH Salon before opening both of his namesake salons in Beverly Hills and Seattle. At each salon, Sylvé’s crew gives their undivided attention to clients as they expertly clip in extensions, straighten strands with Brazilian blowouts and Japanese treatments, and use foil highlights to create the illusion of depth, much like an author inserting his high-school poetry into his memoirs.
