No haircut = Time Wasted – I went a few months ago, I called ahead and made an appointment. I arrived on time, turns out they forgot I had an appointment and after waiting 10 minutes too long I asked what was up. Oh, there was a mix up, just sit tight and wait 5 mins. 30 minutes later I left. I would never go back to this location after having an hour of my time WASTED. Why do they have so many employees and seem to get so little done?

ELAINA ROCKS – If you want a good colorist, see ELAINA at the Seattle salon. I'd had one nightmare after another with color/foils and finally decided to grow my hair out for a while. Elaina convinced me to go with the new balayage method of highlighting... and it is BEAUTIFUL. My hair has never looked prettier. Colorists at Gene Juarez are hit or miss. Some are simply TERRIBLE- but Elaina isn't. A total PRO.

Updos were good – It depends on the stylist, but 3 of us went for updos, and 2 of us were happy the other not. It was rather loud and crazy around the front desk area and the hair area.

Can Be Good – Gene Juarez is a luxury. It just all depends on your stylist or technician.

good but rude check-in – Call ahead to see if they're on time. Remember who you give your credit card number to...they forget to enter in the system when scheduling a massage, then you get scolded by the check-in/out person! It is also good to call ahead, especially, if you are coming in with friends / family to get a massage. In one situation asked for there to be an hour between massages to hand baby off while others were being massage and since they were behind...they were even more behind because baby couldn't be in spa ... read more

Say What? – Knowing their reputation for being hip, stylish, bascially THE place to go for a good haircut, etc. I called the Redmond salon. When I was asked who I wanted to book a haircut appointment with, I said I had never been in before so I didn't know any of the stylist. The very young-sounding appintment maker then asked me, "WELL, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO PAY? I was momentarily stunned by the bad taste. Then I was overcome with a deisre to say something snotty like, "oh..$7.50". I reined in my disgust and said $40. I w... read more

Bellevue Gene Juarez Spa – After 4 1/2 hours of pampering - foot soak, full body massage, complete facial, pedicure AND manicure having to get in my car a drive myself back to Seattle required a herculian effort! I will do it again without thinking twice the next time I have an extra couple of hundred dollars laying around.

A Bad Perm – I wanted a perm, and scheduled one with Gene Juarez. My natural hair color is ash brown, but for the past year, I had colored it to make it light blonde. I wanted a perm, and asked the technician about it before my appt since it was bleached. She said it would be okay, but that I'd need a trim. The technician left the solution on my head for over 20 minutes. She even checked it and waited longer. When she finished, my hair was fried. I began to cry, and she said to me, "Oh, but that's what you get for coloring y... read more

good but atmosphere lacked – This is a reasonable place to go if you are looking for a more "corporate" spa environment. Not very personable, but the service is good.
