I followed Erin Beal to this location, and I'm so glad I did! I've been seeing her for a little…read moreover two years now, and I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say. She's funny, relatable, incredibly knowledgeable, and always makes me feel comfortable. One thing I really appreciate is how committed she is to continuing her education and staying current with the latest training. She takes the time to explain all of your options so you can make an informed decision before doing anything too drastic (which I definitely appreciate! ). The entire staff at SkinSpirit is wonderful. Vanessa was especially warm, approachable, and welcoming. The University Village location is absolutely beautiful, and it's a bonus that there's so much great shopping nearby. Overall, a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend Erin and the SkinSpirit Seattle (University Village) team!

I spent over an hour on a Lime scooter to get there by 5:00. I had just made the appointment at…read more4:00 and the receptionist said I could do 5 or 5:15. Maps told me it would take 45 minutes to get there. I guess it thought I would be going 15mph the whole way. I was finally able to call them to let them know I was almost there. The receptionist said it's 10 minutes into your appointment time so she won't be able to do your treatment but she can still do your consultation. I walked in 2 minutes later and she said she couldn't do it. I said I just got of the phone and they said I could so she went back to ask the nurse Erin if she could do it and she said no because her next client was going to be there in 15 minutes. The consultation I needed was one she had already given me. It would have taken 2 minutes. Needless to say I won't be returning.

BEWARE OF LASERAWAY…read more Sadly, just like the reviews said: I booked a $1600 package, scheduled a session, and they cancelled my appointment less than 48 hours ahead of time. I even asked my point of contact about this exact issue and she assured me this wouldn't happen, but it did! As a busy mom with a young toddler, this is extremely disappointing given that I needed to arrange childcare for my appointment. I requested a refund on my package and wasn't even able to speak to a manager about the situation; they said they'd send an email to someone but there was no guarantee. So disappointing! Update: They still have not replied to me at all for weeks, or since they left a response on this review. Basically they took my money and vanished.

I've been a client of Siobhan's for 21 years now (I know, she looks like she's maybe )! If that…read moredoesn't speak to how good she is at what she does, then I don't know what would! I've had several laser hair removal treatments (I'm one of the lucky people with extremely stubborn hairs and a lot of them). I haven't had to do any touch ups and it's been over 8 years since I've finished treatments. I've been receiving tattoo removal treatments for a couple of years now (not nearly as consistently as I should though)! The two that she has been treating have faded considerably. Both were very old and very dark and I didn't have much hope that they would lighten very much. Boy was I wrong. They have faded so much that some of the line work has disappeared completely. Initially I went into it just hoping that she could lighten them up enough to have coverup pieces done over them. At this rate, they might actually be completely removed! Amazing. Today I just received my first IPL session to correct redness and some melasma. I expected it to be uncomfortable (it was not at all). She prepared me that it may feel like a minor sunburn afterwards and I may notice some redness and swelling. It's been several hours and I haven't experienced any of those things. Siobhan is basically magical at what she does. All of these treatments are an investment for sure, but laser treatments are definitely not where you want to skimp. ALCOS is competitively priced and I wouldn't go anywhere else. These women know what they are doing and are always professional and knowledgeable in every treatment that they offer.

I scheduled an appointment for IPL consultation. Prior to the consultation, I received numerous…read moretext messages, phone calls, and emails asking me questions that would be asked during a consultation. The provider determined I would not be a good candidate prior to treatment. To my dismay, I learned this clinic attempted to charge me an $85 cancellation fee for not following through with their "treatment" (extremely predatory practice, especially since I said I'd contact my dermatologist for medical advice before moving forward with any treatments). Seattle Aesthetic Laser is trying to falsely claim I "cancelled" my appointment, or didn't show up, when nothing could be further from the truth. I engaged in extensive consultative dialogue with the provider spanning the course of DAYS. The only way I could get out of the cancellation fee is by agreeing to a different form of treatment their clinic offers (surprise, surprise). Obviously, I told my card issuer to reject the charge as fraudulent, but on principle, a respectable clinic would never treat patients this way or try this scam.

Jane was amazing!!…read more She squeezed me in at short-notice, made me feel so comfortable and made the process completely painless. I'd been a bit scared to get a Brazilian wax as my last appointment at a previous salon was extremely painful, but she was so knowledgeable about different hair types and made the situation so quick and comfortable. She even taught me more about the kind of wax that works best for my hair, and we were able to talk and laugh through the entire appointment. She's already made a lifetime client out of me, and I will absolutely be telling all of my friends about her! I'm so happy to have found a waxer I can trust!

Instead of cancelling the appointment, they double billed be for almost $300 that they can adjust due to their stupid policy. Ananya spa is an example of how dystopian Seattle is with their 20 percent gratuity on all services and a cancellation/ refund policy that is there to hurt their customers. I hate this place and I hope they are forced to close someday The employees are catty women that should have no business in wellness and I hope this business never gets to scam other people in the same way that it ruined my birthday

Dear Allure Esthetic Team,…read more I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional care I received during my recent surgery and post-op care. I would like to extend my thanks to Dr. Sajan, Dr. Khezri, Chansotie, Tina, and Shelby for their professionalism, kindness, and expertise. Dr. Sajan was very honest with me about what I could expect from my surgery and made sure I had a realistic goal for my physical results. He was professional, caring, kind, and funny throughout the process. Dr. Khezri was also kind, caring, and funny. My sister mentioned that he stayed with the staff and waited until I was in the care of my sister before he left to go home for the night. Chansotie and Tina at the Kirkland office were both very helpful before and after the surgery. They were knowledgeable, kind, and caring. Shelby at the Seattle office was so sweet, kind, helpful, and understanding. She has a wonderful bedside manner, and I wish she would have been at every one of my post-op appointments. I am only a couple of weeks out of surgery and am pleased with my results thus far. I came to Dr. Sanjan from another state to fix a prior breast lift and mini tummy tuck. I will update you during my process. Thank you again for your exceptional care. I would highly recommend Allure Esthetic to anyone seeking medical care. Surgical team: Dr Sajan, Dr.Khezri (anesthesia), Chansotie (nurse), Tina (PA). Post-op care: Shelby (MA) Sincerely, Danika Bowman

Shelley was lovely and accommodating and her hypoallergenic dog was an amazing comfort. That said, I know she would accommodate anyone anti-dog. But I digress...

I'm very glad I opted for electrolysis because it is the ONLY permenant hair removal process available. I thought laser was but you have to go once a year continuously. Electrolysis isn't all that painful and beats going to salons or doing messy home waxing.

The ambiance and amenities could…read moredefinitely stand to improve enough to match the experience and service you'd expect staying at The Fairmont, the hotel within which this bar is colocated. I'm afraid that's not why I'm leaving a review. I'm leaving a review because I've never left a massage feeling less relaxed than when I arrived. It wasn't anything I could ask my provider to adjust, like pressure level, it was just very poorly executed, awkward, and uncomfortable. This was a $325 massage and I would hope the therapists are trained well enough to keep their nails from interfering with the therapy and send you home feeling better than when you arrived. This was my second time visiting and both occasions were similar. Different therapist each time. I'm also disappointed by the owner's responses on reviews here where accusations are made regarding the truthfulness of reported experiences. My sale ID from my receipt is 470227. Penelope is a mismatch for its location. I wish it weren't! What a great opportunity Penelope has here. I'm afraid they should let someone else with more experience operate the space and relocate to somewhere along Aurora where they don't need pesky things like certifications, training, credentials, and amenities. Edit: I received an email response where the business chose to double down on the same type of feedback they provide to others on Yelp. Very dismissive. When all you can do is point a customer to your website as if that resolves issues, I don't know how you continue to attract new customers. Dropped the rating from 2 stars down to 1 star for that reason. !!! 2ND UPDATE: Hoist by their own petard I suppose! They sent a multi-page email threatening me with "defamation, business disparagement, and tortious interference" if I did not take down my review. They scrutinized my booking history (debating whether this was my first or second visit, as my previous visit was booked under my partner's name) and even admitted to digging through my Yelp history to criticize my other reviews. Does this seem like a good response to negative feedback to you? There are other spas at hotels in downtown Seattle, I'll certainly be visiting one of those next time and I recommend you do the same if you don't want to be threatened with legal action if you don't enjoy your massage.
