Etherea Salon Spa

Alison was amazing! She did my facial and was very professional. She spoke very softly, background music was the right tempo and she was always careful to make me feel comfortable - right pressure, etc.. I strongly suggest coming about 30 minutes in advance to take advantage of the steam room in the back. It is a bit small, so I wouldn't recommend the entire-day treatment since you might feel as if you were ""in the way."" But Alison was very courteous and I loved her. Pros: Facials! Cons: Horrible customer service from the front desk, parking more

I was referred by a friend and I have to say the whole experience was heavenly. Foot scrub and massage were my favorite part and the beautiful polish still reminds me of my great experience. I'm gonna be a regular. Pros: genuine service more

Mercedes is an awesome stylist. She always comes up with great fresh ideas for a new look or how to spuce up an old one. She has cut my hair twice now and I would recommend her to everyone. The entire staff is very friendly, a great salon experience! Pros: service, skill, products Cons: parking more

I have been to several spas in the NW and this was not what I expected when itcame to a spa. The spa is very small and the services were not scheduled well. My friend and I had a full day of treatments from 11-7. The massage was pretty good, but having to wait because the staff was not ready for me was uncomfortable because there was no place to wait while in a robe. I had to sit on this ottoman in a small room that sat in the middle of a bunch of doors that opened up to the different service rooms. While I sat there I watched general house keeping duties being done and listened to the staff interact about their personal business. This is not what I wanted to listen to. After my facial I was told that my manicure was going to be 30 minutes away. I sat in the steam room for awhile and then once again I had no where to go. It was very uncomfortable. When it was luch time I once again had to sit on the ottoman in the middle of everything and eat. My overall impression of this spa is that doesn't feel professional. I didn't feel totally relaxed until I had my facial and that was because I was in a room that was away from the staff and the water pipes turning on and off. I did get a great haircut from Kristale so I was happy about that. The make-up application was not done well nor was the manicure or pedicure. Everything seemed so rushed. None of the employees knew that we were having a full spa day so there was not this feeling of being taken care of for the day. When I go to a spa again I am definiltly going to another spa. I want to feel pampered and feel like the hustle and bustle of life is gone for a few hours. Listening to staff talk about there personal life or how they can't wait until they are off is not what I would like to hear when I am in a spa. I would like to say though if you would just like to pop in for a great massage then this is a good place. Then you can have your message and go on with your day. Pros: massage and facials Cons: too small, not a professional staff more

I've been seeing Crista for hair cuts, coloring & styling for years and have followed her to her new location at Etherea. Her knowledge of new styles, fresh cuts, and hair care are invaluable - she keeps my look clean and current while maintaining my personal style. I HIGHLY recommend going to see her to update your current hairstyle or get a new look. more

I'm so happy i finally found Mercedes! Everytime I go in, she either does exactly what i ask for, or if i'm not sure what i want, she gives me professional suggestions that make me look great :) She has taken me from light to dark, and back to light perfectly. more

I'm an ugly guy and Anna makes me feel like a ""SUPERSTAR"", she's a miracle worker and I believe up for Sainthood! more

Anna, Mitch, and Crista are all FANTASTIC stylists that used to work at Schlabitude. They weren't valued enough so they busted out and landed at Etherea! I'm so happy for them and know they will continue to rock the house and go on to do many great things! Good luck you guys and CONGRATULATIONS! Etherea is lucky to have ya! Pros: Stellar stylists more

After years of complaints about my waxing experiences at other salons, a couple of girlfriends insisted I try Belinda at Etherea. I will be forever kicking myself for waiting so long to take their advice. Other salons left me red, puffy, and tender at best. But Belinda manages to make the whole experience ejoyable - she's quick, it's relatively pain-free, and she's a delight to chat with. She is THE BEST. I love her. My bikini line loves her. You will love her too. Pros: Belinda. Belinda. And more Belinda. more

On a recommendation, I made a visit to the Etherea Spa specifically for waxing by Belinda. As it turns out, she's worth the trip from Denver! Now, whenever I'm able to visit Seattle, I specifically schedule a visit to Etherea for her services! She's a lovely woman with a great amount of professionalism and talent. Waxing doesn't top my list of favorite things to do....but it must be done and you may as well go to the best!! more

Do yourself a favor ... if you're looking to get your eyebrows waxed, go to Belinda! I went to Belinda for years and then moved to North Seattle. I made the mistake of going to a name-to-be-withheld but well-known local salon for my waxing needs. MISTAKE! I have found the error in my ways and I am back to Belinda. She is fast but thorough, yet manages to make the experience relaxing. The proof is in the results ... the compliments about my brows have returned! (Plus, she's a good therapist. Helped me from freaking out while being in law school and planning my wedding ... at the same time.) Pros: Belinda is the best waxer, seriously. Upbeat atmosphere. Cons: Sometimes the front desk people are bitchy. Finding parking can be difficullt. more

I've been going to Etherea salon for years and am a little embarrased that I am just now writing a review! Pros: great customer service, red licorice while you wait, and Belinda more

My experience at Etherea was more than I could have hoped for. The cut and color consultation was based on my face shape and skin tone along with the color of my eyes. My Stylist David O, who happenes to be a Hawaii transplant was increadible. This is by far the best hairstyle Ive had in Years. Cant wait to go back in 6 weeks for my fallow up. LOVE IT>>>> Pros: Skill level of Stylist, Downtown location Cons: Parking more

I could not have been more pleased... Simply one of the best salon experiences I have had EVER!!! Staff is warm and welcoming especially Rusty at the front desk. Scheduling is flexible and accomodating. Oh and the complimentary service of a foot soak offered was to die for... while waiting thru the processing time on my foil to pass I soaked then was soothed by the cooling tingley comforts of Aveda Hand and Foot Relief products. Gina did an awesome job on my foil... I played with make-up, enjoyed witty banter and all this on a HOT Friday afternoon in the summer of Seattle. Oh yes, and all of this without being overwhelmed with the harsh chemically smells of standard foils. ha. AB-SO-LUTELY FANTASTIC!!! Pros: Staff, No Harsh Chemically Smelling Products, Complimentary "Perks" Cons: Parking for Driving Customers more

I have gone to many places for facials (even other Aveda salons) and this was, by far, the best. During the acupressure, I almost dozed off I was so relaxed. Best of all, my skin glowed after. Pros: Ambience, Service, Staff is friendly Cons: Parking more

I love this place, with its down to earth staff who you can tell that they love working together. Rusty at the desk is so cute. more

My partner had set up appointments for us both on a Saturday afternoon. We were working on getting our house ready to sell. So.I was rather grumpy and looked like hell, (paint clothes on and all) when I walked in for my appointment. No one even blinked at the site of this disheveled woman. I was greeted warmly and checked in promptly. I was there for a facial and a hair cut. The facial was first and it was absolutely wonderful!!! Ive had facials in the past but Alice is the tops!!! I was soooo relaxing and wonderful. Then off to get my hair cut. I dont remember the ladies name but she was very good and my hair looks great. Needless to say I walked out of there feeling exactly the opposite of when I walked in. Its truly is a wonderful, warm, gentle place. D Pros: Nice pople, warm atmosphere, prompt Cons: parking more

I went to Etherea today and had my hair cut by Nihad. He did a fabulous job on my hair. He took his time, asked me what I wanted- very professional. I would recommend this place to my friends and family without any qualms. Thanks Nihad! Pros: Aveda products, Friendly, Location more

I went into Etherea to get my haircolor and cut and I was at first a bit frustrated because I had to wait 3 months for my appointment to see Lisa Van. It was worth the wait. Lisa showed me some of latest/forthcoming styles in hair with Aveda and created a new color and cut just for me! It was something that I never would have thought of myself but now my husband and friends think it was just the look for me! I'll be back!!! Pros: Staff, Aveda, Prices Cons: Parking more

The stylist messed up my color and the front desk staff was not accomodating about scheduling a time to fix it. Instead of trying to fix the problem, the woman who answered the phone was simply snotty. Cons: lousy color, bad attitude more
