Our Stylists

We are artists, technicians and inventors who, honestly, have been around the beauty-industry block more than a few times. But the talent and atmosphere at Shine represents the best of all worlds. Although we consider ourselves part of a team, we enjoy the freedom of using our individual experiences and philosophies to keep things personal. We're not out to impress anybody except our clients (and ourselves, of course). We invite you to come and enjoy the awesome environment here in the Pike Place Market, especially our unique neighbors with whom we share the Inn's courtyard. You can also get your hair done.

Many years ago, I got in trouble for cutting my little sister's hair. Then I got in trouble for dying her hair black. But...

Akiko Biely

I am originally from Tokyo but studied at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in London. I have been doing hair since the early '90s.

Brooke Harrison

I started cutting my brother's hair on the front porch in high school. Eventually, I found myself in Seattle working as a receptionist at a salon. I always watched everyone working. They finally told me I should just go to cosmetology school already!

So, I did. I worked at Shine as a receptionist while I attended the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute. After graduation, I apprenticed with Devan White for two years.

I do both cuts and color, though I particularly enjoy long, layered haircuts.

I can’t remember a time in life when I wasn’t obsessed with hair.
