Ellie Smith Hairstylist

Lots of updates hitting you guys on this Monday!

Color prices have increased. If you have a color currently booked, that appointment price will not be increased. Anything booked today or later will reflect new prices. These new prices are on my website and booking page. Link in bio for my updated menu!

Online booking is limited to 8 weeks and I cannot guarantee you will get your desired booking timeframe as we are in the thick of the busy season.

I have a new texting number and it’s also available on my website. Please add to your contacts and delete the (360! If you forget to delete the old one, the message won’t make it to me.

My office hours are now Monday-Friday 9am-7pm. Any texts or emails will be responded to within these days and times.

✨ Bringing in 2026 with soft, natural and gorgeous highlights. Who doesn’t want to enhance their natural beauty with low maintenance hair color? Natural balayage is back, baby.

First time coloring my lovely client’s hair, and we decided for a natural balayage! ✨ No curling iron used here—just a curly blowout for that effortless and gorgeous look!.

✨ Traditional balayage is all about that subtle, sun-kissed glow! It’s designed to lift up to 3 shades lighter for a natural, blended look. If you’re after a soft, dimensional transition, this is exactly what you can expect with a standard balayage.

It’s that time of year again! I may check in periodically, but please email for any contact. See you later!

Looking for an appointment? All appointments times are available 8 weeks from the current date.

Looking for something farther out? I recommend setting a reminder on your phone for 8 weeks out from the date of your service.

Have questions? Send me an email!

Lived-in highlights are just that: meant to be easy to live with! Whether you have grey hair you’re covering, or just don’t want to have to come into the salon all the time, there is nothing like some high lights on your ends to give dimension and yumminess to your color! I’m a huge fan, can you tell?!

I’m drooling over this color. It’s so pretty and rich!

Did you know that red color is one of the hardest colors to remain vibrant in the hair, but also simultaneously hardest colors to remove? Such a catch 22.

A good color supporting shampoo and conditioner, as well as an occasional toner, is perfect for red hair maintenance.

It’s 2024 and it’s been awhile since I come here and said HELLO and shared a little bit about moi. I’ve been operating as an independent stylist since late 2019, and it’s allowed me grow professionally and as a person. I love being able to cultivate the experience you get when you sit in my hair! My mother always thought I’d be suited for a CEO position, as I was known to always try to be the boss, so I guess she was onto something.

Whether you’re new here, or been with me since the beginning, I appreciate you and am glad you’re here!

Here are some fun and silly facts about me!

✨ I love Hawaii and the Aloha vibe, which is why I chose to make Salon Aloha and it’s team my home.

✨ I’m a born and raised Washingtonian, and have never lived in any other state or country.

✨In 2019 (right before I opened my business) I took a solo trip to the UK, where I had never been, and had the time of my life! I miss it almost everyday.

➡️ Swipe to see the BEFORE and INSPIRATION! I think we nailed it 💇🏻‍♀️.

✨ I’ll be away and taking a break from social media to be with family, friends and my dogs! I hope you get to spend time with ones you love and enjoy the holiday season ✨
