If there?s one thing that makes turning another year older more palatable, it?s the yearly spa ritual I?ve established with my best friend. This year, we celebrated our birthdays together with facials at the Avanti Day Spa--and it was exactly what I had hoped for when I selected it for our upcoming spa day.
We pulled in to the valet parking on Commerce Street about 45 minutes before our treatment so we could relax in the steam room and enjoy a cup of tea in the sanctuary.
We walked down a curving staircase past the medi-spa to the day spa on the Pacific Avenue level of the spa. As we entered the spa reception area, we were treated to the soothing sounds of two waterwalls covered in mosaic tiles. The scent of lavender signaled the beginning of our relaxing journey.
Several attendants welcomed us at the desk and while one took in our preferences and background information, another prepared mint herbal tea for us to enjoy in the spa?s sanctuary. Then we were shown to our lockers where waffle-weave cream spa robes and slippers awaited.
Sherri, a 25-year veteran of the salon and spa business, ushered me into our treatment room where classical piano music played softly in the background. After a thorough examination of my skin and a few questions, Sherri determined I was in need of super-moisturizing emphasis during my Tuscany Sunshine Facial.
Sherri and I chatted about the spa, her background in the salon and skin care industry and how much she liked working at Avanti. But once I was lulled into relaxation mode and stopped asking questions, she allowed me to enjoy the treatment, take in the aromatherapy and listen to the soothing music.
The facial was wonderful, including the back, shoulder and scalp massages. At times, I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep. My skin lapped up the moisture and looked noticeably firmer and less dry when the treatment was over.
My friend had a similar experience. We will definitely be back!

I just went to the tacoma (6th ave) location. My boyfriend and I just got the couples massage, and it was amazing. The staff made us feel so comfortable. The spa also has this hydro-bed that you lay on and it sinks you into it (its like a womb).
Just walking into the spa area is so relaxing-- the decor and surroundings are to die for, it is lush and relaxing. Plus- going into the bathroom will make you want to remodel your bathroom at home.
I can't think of a better place to have a spa day. Everyone is friendly and professional. The atmosphere is out of this world. Jewell is by far the best spa I have been too.

The only place I really know of in the South End is Gene Juarez at the Tacoma Mall. I got highlights done there and they're very knowledgeable. I think the girl I went to was named Hannah. Anyway, very professional and knew what she was doing. I wouldn't go there for a cut though unless you want to pay for one of the more experienced stylists.

This place is very good to visit if you are on a tight budget, like a student. The people there are nice and friendly, and they cut my hair perfectly. The conditioner they used during the process made my hair very soft, and i liked how at the end they used some products to give me an idea of how it can be styled. Definitely recommended!

I can still remember the day I got 2 dozen beautiful long stemmed yellow roses from a secret admirer. They came from Browns Flowers. I have stopped and picked up flowers from the on occasion for the past 30 years. Just because of those Beautiful Yellow roses. They always have the freshest flowers.

My kids are, unfortunately, no strangers to ERs and hospital stays. They have breathing issues (Reactive Airway Distress) with colds and bronchitis. So when my youngest son had another flare up in 2005 (it happens once per year, like clockwork, right after Thanksgiving and before Christmas), I took him to the Mary Bridge ER in the middle of the night.
We had to wait a while with his breathing being pretty harsh, which we never had to wait that long up at Children's Hospital in Seattle or Valley Medical Center in Renton. So I thought that was pretty stressful, but it all worked out fine.
They admitted him upstairs, where they were quite full with RSV patients. The staff was terrific to my son and my family, so I really appreciated the homey feel versus the over-medicalized feel at others (like Valley). They sent specialists in and worked with us, gave us treatments that were never recommended to us before, and set us up with appointments with really awesome local specialists (ENT and Pulmonology).
I SO appreciated the extra mile they went to for us to get us on track and the very detailed instructions as to what to do. They even called the American Lung Association to have them do a free environmental assessment for my home! Even a hearing and speech test for my little guy was set up for us. Children's, Valley and Swedish combined didn't give us these steps to take to help my son, after all the years and visits there.
I am SOOOOO thankful for Mary Bridge!!! They really cared about his welfare, his future, his education (speech and hearing can have a profound effect if not caught early), and most of all, our status as a divorced family who lives a distance apart from each other, etc. My son is so much healthier now because they referred us to the right people and gave us the consistent, right help for his particular malady. Only wish I had known it sooner, and as a parent, I wish someone would have told me these things to do way before this. GREAT CARE! Oh, and they are really close, easy to get to and free parking!
