For 51 years, Bocz Salon has been a part of Seattle. Our goal has always been simple: create amazing hair, and create a place where people can gather, relax, and feel beautiful.

Our Story

In 1971, Gary and Karen Bocz launched Bocz Salon. Over the decades that followed, the team at Bocz crafted beautiful hair through every era of trends. In the '90s, Bocz launched an apprentice program to train the next generation of exceptional Seattle stylists. One of those apprentices was Shelina Seney, who grew through the Bocz program as an apprentice, stylist, and manager. In 2023, she took over the business alongside her sister, Chantel, carrying on the legacy Karen had shaped for more than four decades. Since then, the Seney sisters have continued to grow the salon in our new home in the heart of South Lake Union.
