Beauty Bar Spa

I’ve been a regular customer at the Beauty Bar for at least three years. I’ve had my brows done by both Michelle (who no longer works there) and Lisa, and not once have I walked away disappointed. I see Lisa every four weeks and during every appointment I feel like I’m just catching up with a girlfriend because she’s so friendly.
Pricing is fair as well. $ 20 for a brow wax is one of the lowest prices you’ll see in town and Lisa does an excellent job.
Next time you need to book a wax appointment, give Lisa a call.

Love this place! I drive all the way from Ballard cause Dejha does the best Brazilian in town. Cute very comfortable space. Plus I get a shot before or after. Helps me get thru it! Thanks for rocking it girls!

I’ve been a Beauty Bar Spa customer for about 4 years now. I found the place because it is connected to a coffee shop I used to work at. I’ve been fan ever since and in true fan form, though my career moved away I still come back to Lisa every 4 – 6 weeks to get my eyelashes tinted. It’s a scary thing to lay on your back with your eyes shut for 30min while someone is putting due on your lashes. But not with Lisa, she made me feel comfortable and safe and now I can’t go anywhere else. I trust her.
Never have had any other services done there, but have heard wonderful things about the waxes and manicures.
Thanks Lisa for making me feel safe and welcome in your business.

Best manicure (not gel) I have ever received. Hands-​down. Worth the price!!!

So, I decided to book an appointment here since the other salon I go to closes on Sunday and needed my eyebrows done that day. By reading the reviews I wanted to give this place a try and decided to also get my eyebrows tint which was my first time.
I was scheduled with Courtney, can I say AMAZING?! She does such a good job at her work, I seriously didn’t ever think my eyebrows could ever look this full! I love how she takes her time to talk about how you want it and she knows the right color for tints. I would def. recommend this spa! If your

I love this place! Courtney always does a great job with brow arches and tints. Really relaxed and friendly. No snottiness here at all. Responsive to phone calls. Very little wait most of the time.

Have you ever walked into a spa and then just tensed up? I have. However, when you walk into the Beauty Bar Spa you know you’ve come into a warm and inviting space, one where you can relax and enjoy sipping a cup of tea, laugh with a friend, or make a new one. I’ve fallen in love with atmosphere Lisa, the owner, has developed at Beauty Bar Spa. One earlier reviewer mentioned how relaxed the Beauty Bar is and that’s what begins to happen when you walk in.
I get my mani & pedis there after I fell in love with Marika and then Danette. You can’t go wrong with either and you don’t worry about walking out with a fungus. Yes, their mani/​pedi prices cost more than a chop shop, but my last pedi lasted 3 weeks and could have kept on going. And the work they do on my cuticles is flawless. This is the kind of place where when Marika was injured, Lisa — the owner — did not rush out to fill in the spot with just anyone, but was able to find another very special person to bring into this intimate salon.
Everything there is clean. You don’t have to worry who else might have been lying down on the table before you. Lisa gives The Best Facials I’ve ever had. Her new person, Courtney, also does a bang up job. Because of all the positive experiences I had there, I took up waxing two summers ago and have never looked back.
These women are in for a laugh as well as a moment of pleasure.
The spa does not offer the services mentioned in the July 2012 review. There’s never been a slimming wrap, I don’t understand about «get music», and they have never calculated my tip before.

Danette at The Beauty Bar gives a meticulous pedicure. My toes look perfect every time and she has a great personality to boot! Lovely bright atmosphere in a nice locality.

Courtney is my girl! She does all of my waxing and skin care. When my acne on my back was out of control she was my savor! She gave the best back facial that I have ever had. I highly recommend this spa. I love the relaxed vibe of the place. Courtney is my favorite. She is super flexible with fitting me in. She always does a thorough and fantastic job. I can’t recommend her enough.

Awesome, amazing, perfect. Just what I was looking for. FINALLY. I found a girl,(Michelle), who waxes well, painless (virtually) and professionally. I have been searching for someone like this since I moved back here in July 2012.
I was very impressed with the place and the services and the prices. Now I can relax and just make my monthly appointments and remain waxed and happy! YAY!

Lessee…
–got called twice for the appointment; they really didn’t have their act together.
–turned out that despite 2 calls, I got scheduled for the wrong treatment
–treated me like UTTER CRAP when I tried to explain that I did NOT need the slimming wrap — I have low blood pressure and cannot be dehydrated like that
–the wrap that I did get (that supposedly wasn’t the slimming one) was so hot that I actually had to stop the facial early because I was crying and ready to pass out.
–when I was in the waiting lounge trying to become well enough to go home, I was challenged as to why I was there, like I was a leper (rather than trying to get me to be okay).
–I had to pay full price despite all of this. I got a $ 50 gift certificate. That’s really funny, since the person here who simply didn’t have music got a $ 75 gift certificate.
–they attempted to calculate the tip with the product I bought included. I had to correct them.
And, like everyone says, the changing rooms are miniscule, and there’s no shower. I couldn’t even use the bathroom before I left because someone was in the one they had.
Anyone want a $ 50 gift certificate? I think it’s actually dangerous to go to this place, since they seem to care so little when you’re sick and still make you pay for the whole thing.

i purchased a deal here and thought i’d give them a shot since they were less than a mile from my house. let me just say, best manicure ever! seriously. my nails were absolutely perfect. to top it off, the manicure lasted 12 days before a few starting chipping/​peeling. that’s unheard of for a manicure on my hands. i’m usually lucky to go a 5 – 6 days. these nails lasted through a trip to vegas and daily keyboard typing. Marika is awesome! she was also really fun to talk to. she had some hilarious stories to tell.
i had to deduct one star for the price… $ 75 for a mani/​pedi is a bit too much for my budget :(if it weren’t for the price, i’d be there ever 2 weeks.

Strong personalities, here.
Good waxing, here.
Good ingrown hair treatment, here. All others sting and stink. They have some that is so nice on the skin and nose!
Michelle is my new wax person & I’m happy I’ve switched. It’s comparable in cost to others, if not just a lil below.

Without question, Michelle Flickinger at Beauty Bar is the BEST professional Waxing Woman that I have gone to! And… I have been waxed all over this planet! From Europe to the East coast and the West Coast! Michelle is fast and meticulous! And a delightful person to spend time with!:)

I got my first brazilian here by Michelle and it was beyond an amazing experience. The place is right off a main street and is easy to find. I would assume parking could be difficult, but I was able to find a parallel parking spot right outside the door. The shop itself was smaller and had a very calming feel to it.
I was greeted by a lady at the front desk, who knew my name by the appointment I made a couple hours earlier, over the phone. She was very cheery and pointed me to the seating area and magazines, as well as asking if I would like any tea or water. I had to wait around 10 minutes, but I was more than happy doing so.
My appointment with Michelle went over smoothly. I have gotten many other bikini waxes in the past and have been way too uncomfortable with the staff to think about getting anything else done. This was not the case here. Michelle was very professional and did her very best to make sure I had an awesome experience. She was so good at what she did that I had no problem with being uneasy about the process. She also had a lot of knowledge on the subject that helped me get my mind off the sting.
I would recommend this place to everyone!

The Beauty Bar Spa is the cutest, coziest little spot. You walk in and immediately feel comfortable. All of the ladies that work here are always cheerful and delightful and adorably fun.
I can honestly say that the Beauty Bar makes getting waxed a truly enjoyable experience. Yes, getting your hairs ripped out can actually be enjoyable, i swear! Michelle is número uno. She won’t let you out of that cozy little room until every little detail is perfect. She will even leave a little heart shape of hair down there and color it pink! Amazing!
I love Beauty Bar Spa!

Amy is new-​ish to town and the Beauty Bar, and I was a first time salon wax customer. We met on a grey Seattle Sunday thanks to Unilocal’s «open now» filter.
I never in a million years thought I’d come home after my first wax visit and write a review saying «That was really fun — I can’t wait to see Amy again in four to six weeks.» But, it’s true. With such great service, personality, parking, and reasonable prices, I’ll be back.

I followed Michelle out here from Julep in the U District — that kind of trek alone should tell you how awesome she is. Michelle is incredibly nice and an expert at what she does — simply wonderful. She goes to great lengths to make sure your wax is perfect, even down to meticulous details. She’s sensitive to clients’ experience, and tries her best to reduce any pain. She also uses great products. You’ll walk out of there with an amazing wax and feeling like you just made a new best friend.
4 stars because one time I made an appt with someone other than Michelle, and the quality really wasn’t on par with my usual experience. Spots were missed entirely, as well as stray hairs here and there — plus I had a ton of «razor burn”/irritation afterwards. It’s like the esthetician just wasn’t as dedicated, and I kind of got the vibe she was just grossed out by normal procedures or something. Very weird. Maybe she was just having an off day.
If you’ve never had a wax before, don’t be scared. Book with Michelle for any type of wax and you’ll be a dedicated client for life!

A friend and I went into Beauty Bar for a mani/​pedi a few weeks ago and came away with mixed feelings. Our nails looked awesome and if I was rating just based on that, they would get 4.5 stars. Unfortunately they lacked in other areas which is why they averaged out to a 3 star rating.
The woman who did my nails (blanking on her name) was cold, had a bad attitude and didn’t engage in conversation. We were about 7 minutes late for our appointment (damn car GPS!) and from the get-​go, she seemed annoyed/​angry that we were late. Yes, that’s our fault but we apologized and in the end, there was no one else scheduled after us so whats the big deal? The woman who did my friends nails was much nicer but dressed pretty unprofessionally in a grungy t-​shirt and sneakers. It just didn’t match the spa like atmosphere they seem to be going for.
My nails did look great but for their location, prices (I’m glad I didn’t pay the actual $ 75 for a mani/​pedi –used my living social coupon), and the fact that they usually only have 1 person most days doing nails, I wont be coming back any time soon.

I don’t write many reviews on here but I thought I’d share my great experience with any of those wondering about the place.
I’ve had so many bad eyebrow waxes. Since I get them tinted, it’s even more crucial that the wax/​shaping is done well because if it’s not… it shows. Up until now, I’ve given my trust to one woman and one woman only with my brows, and that’s Besilia at the Gene Juarez in Bellevue. (I’ve gone to 3 other girls there and none of them did a good job.) I needed my eyebrows done TODAY and Besilia was not in, so I thought I’d look on Unilocal to see if I could find someone.
I took a leap of faith and went to see Lisa at The Beauty Bar. Instantly I was a little thrown off, it’s a little hole in the wall place, and being used to Gene Juarez, wasn’t sure how well this was going to go.
When I walked in the door I was immediately greeted by Lisa who did my brows. She took me outside to get a real look at the color and went over what I wanted.
She took me into a room an layed me on a massage table that actually a heat pad on it to keep me warm. SUCH a nice touch! She then did my brows… and I held my breath the whole way waiting for them to be ruined (as they always are when someone aside from my usual girl does them). At the end she handed me a mirror and to my surprise, they were perfect. I may have found my new backup.
Their prices are also $ 15 cheaper than Gene Juarez… so maybe she’s my new eyebrow girl, period.
