When I first moved to Seattle, I had a hard time finding the right salon and the right stylist. Yes, there are lots of salons out there to choose from, but I got tired of the stylist who was only out to sell me product. Or the stylist who was only out to cut my hair they way s/he wanted it to look...or the way that would guarantee I'd be back soon to get a touch up.
Finally, I found Paul Horner. Paul is an incredibly talented colorist and complete style coordinator. He has trained with many of the top names in the business and has developed a skillset that is hard to find. He took the time to listen to me and get my hair just perfect. He understands what my hair can take and what my lifestyle is really all about. He makes recommendations, but he always accommodates what I want. If what I want is a bad idea, he'll let me know and develop a plan for something better. That's a great balance of listening, accommodating and then coming up with a result that makes me look my very best.
Also at Estrella, you'll want to make an appointment with Taylor. Taylor is a skin specialist, and she does the best waxing I've ever had. I never feel "roughed up", and I'm always happy with her results.
The spa also offers massage and other services, but I've never had them. Others have told me they're great. I've seen the massage room space, and it is very quiet and private. I think I would like it a lot more than many of the big salon "day spa" spaces around.
There is always street parking near Estrella -- even parking that accommodates my big truck! The salon is small, but cozy and private. It is always clean, well decorated and cheerful. The reception seating is comfortable and always filled with an assortment of the latest magazines. There's a Tully's nearby if you need a coffee, and they're always offering to get you a drink to make you even more comfortable. Plus, around the holidays you're guaranteed to find chocolates and other goodies to make you smile even more.
You can pick up a wide assortment of products at Estrella while you're there, but they're a "no pressure" salon. Nobody has ever tried to oversell me, and that's something I really appreciate.
Don't keep looking around town. Make an appointment with Paul and Taylor now. You won't regret it!

I've worked with Falling Water Designs in many capacities -- as an intern while I was studying horticulture, as a client as I was planning for a new deck for my garden, and as a subcontracted landscape designer. In all capacities, I've been thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, customer service and fine work that Falling Water Designs offers.

I've had great experience with the folks at Turgeon-Raine. They provided me with a professional appraisal of some jewlery that I inherited, which they also resized, cleaned, and repaired. They keep a copy of the appraisal on hand and will provide it to your insurance company directly (as well as providing you with a copy).
They provided a professional atmosphere with down-to-earth (not snobby) service in a very upscale environment. They finished my work early and stayed in touch throughout the process.

I've been a client of Ted Louis at Eyes on Fremont for several years now. The staff is great. The services and attention to detail is also great. They have a wide selection of glasses that all seem pretty hip. I'm more of a contacts wearer myself.
Dr. Louis offers personalized services in a clean and private atmosphere (apart from the busy glasses sales area). He has suggested new products but never pushes me to buy from him directly; he knows there are good deals available online.

If you're looking for the perfect bowl of latte &/or the best croissant in Seattle, look no further than Cafe Besalu in Ballard. I really can't say more than that. Their plain croissants, served with homemade jam & butter, are to die for (and might just kill you based on butter fat content alone). The pain au chocolat is an amazing treat, especially if you get them fresh out of the oven, with melting chocolate and crispy, flaky pastry. If you want something a little richer, try the ham & swiss pastry or the caramelized onion & cheese pastry. Want something fruity? They've always got a seasonal fruit pastry -- blueberry or nectarine summer pastries look heavenly.
And, absolutely, don't miss the coffee! Served in big bowls, fresh, hot & made to order perfectly, this is truly a coffee lover's heaven.
And, grab a cookie or piece of quiche in the afternoon for an extra special treat. And, the fresh juice is just that -- fresh & tasty!
