very odd of a store. very eclectic. don't expect anything mainstream thats what makes this store just different. its fun to find odd gifts for a close gf or bf, but other than that its just odd.

Not a huge fan of the customer service here. Once they realized I wouldn't be spending a ton of cash and was "just looking" I got the cold shoulder. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a black card.... Pros: Selection of namebrands... Cons: Price, Customer Service, Attitude...

I read some of the reviews about snobishness at Olivine, I have to say this was the case a few months ago. But... snobby girl is gone!! Now really great and friendly girls are working. Georgia is so helpful eveytime I come in and the new girl Karen, also make up artist, is so sweet. I was able to come in a find the perfect dress for an up comming event. I also think that what the owner is doing with sustainable lines is just fabulous!!! Really great new lines, Beau Soleil, and Emily Katz, just to name a few. Pros: Great NEW sustainable lines Cons: costly

I've had brazilians done at many different places, but never liked any of them to keep going back to the same person or place. CJ at Olivine was very warm and friendly and made me feel relaxed from the moment I met her. Brazilians are of course never painless, but this was as close as it gets. She was very quick and always concerned about how I was doing, not to mention very thorough. Olivine is a really hip and trendy store with this little clean and relaxing "beauty lounge" in the back. I'll definitely go back to CJ for all of my waxing needs!

Today was my first trip to Olivine and I loved it! The really helpful staff helped me pick out a gift for my best friend and even wrapped it and then they told me about their new esthetician and her super waxing! She had an appointment available and CJ did an outstanding job (and I'm really picky)! I will definitely be a regular now!

Make Olivine part of your weekend field trip to Ballard! Check out their sale racks and then head over for a cupcake and maybe a movie.

Olivine has added a new twist to its' already successful shopping experience -- the beauty bar! If you haven't booked an appointment with Rebecca, you MUST put a facial and an eye brow wax on the top of your to-do list. Rebecca has a ton of experience, and the products are delightful. Now Olivine truly has something for every inch of your body.
