Insider Pages Reviews for Salon Dewi

2 Stars: Not so professional (by Onfl)

Onfl — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I agree with other reviews that the owner and employees of this salon are too big into drama and not so professional. Other salons manage to keep this type of attitude away from the clients, too bad this place can't do the same.

5 Stars: So much goodness wrapped up in this place (by Amc206)

Amc206 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Honestly I love this place, and MARIE! I will never go to another waxer again and if she ever moves I may just have to follow her...or just completely give up on grooming.

I'm serious.

5 Stars: Ask for Marie (by McMel)

McMel — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

The first time Marie saw me she told me my eyebrows were overwaxed and tweezed. She said that I needed to let them grow back in to get their natural shape back (My eyebrows were not even close to pencil line thin either). I was hesitant and truthfully didn't enjoy the growing in process (took a few months), but it was worth it. My eyebrows have never looked better and they are lower maintenance now. I have received several compliments from people about how nice my eyebrows look over the last 1.5 years that I have been going to Marie. Marie does much more than just wax my eyebrows, she styles them. She can trim and shape like none other. She has a gift... I can never get them to look like she does.

5 Stars: Aldera rocks! (by Kathy Meyer)

Kathy Meyer — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Aldera did such a great job! I would go back to her anytime and recommend her to anyone! Salon Dewi is a great place, nice environment and I love it!

5 Stars: brazilian wax with aldera (by livaluh)

livaluh — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 02:00:00 GMT

i just had my first brazilian wax at salon dewi with aldera. while the process was inevitably painful, aldera moved fast and kept me talking to distract from the screaming hair follicles. i would definitely go back to her for a brazilian or any other wax for that matter. loved the service and worth the pay!

5 Stars: Massage: Matthew is gifted (by josefiend)

josefiend — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT

After having a migraine for several weeks, I booked a massage with Matthew. During the session, he impressed me with his overall professional demeaner and overall muscle knowledge. We discussed additional treatments for migraine and his suggestions were spot-on! After the session, I was surprised to find my headache calmed and within a day or two, my migraine was gone. I've since gone back to Matthew and each time, his massages are better and better.

4 Stars: Aldera is great! (by bolaniss)

bolaniss — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Local business, I love to support. I walked into Dewi a relative newbie to the waxing. Aldera made me feel super comfortable, I love her and the wonderful wax she always gives. Thanks, Aldera!!!

5 Stars: Matthew is a massage genius! (by K136)

K136 — Sat, 16 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I've had massages from more than a dozen different massage therapists and Matthew is at the top of my list! He combines his knowledge of a variety of massage techniques with his ability to intuitively "read" your body so his massages are excellent and effective. I'm always amazed at how he matches the massage I receive to the care my body needs that particular day.

5 Stars: Waxing for Men (by shanerossow)

shanerossow — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 02:00:00 GMT

It was my first time having a mens Brazillian and Aldera was a pro. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. She is AMAZING!

5 Stars: Seattle's Best Waxing (by lkat83)

lkat83 — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I have prominent eyebrows that look great when they are well groomed and awful when they aren't. I have had numerous waxing traumas by people who over-shaped and over-thinned. If you like that, Marie at Salon Dewi will be happy to make you happy, but if you want natural, well shaped, clean brows, she is your woman!

The salon is beautiful and peaceful and the service is outstanding from calling and making an appointment to paying your bill at the end. The salon owner, Travis, sees clients there as well, so the place is super well run and aims to please in every way.

Have a specific request or want to try something new? I think Salon Dewi is the best place to get what you want out of beauty treatments and know that you will leave a happy (and more beautiful) camper!

5 Stars: Marie is the BEST!! (by DSeattle2009)

DSeattle2009 — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I've been going to Salon Dewi every since I moved to Seattle a couple years ago and I regularly take friends with me. I've had many of the services - massages with Matthew (excellent!), body scrubs, facials, and waxing with Marie (she is absolutely the best anywhere). I am always greeted with a smile, they remember my name, they offer me tea, and Travis always tempts me with new lingerie. I really enjoy going there and manage to find a reason to drop in every couple of weeks. Without a doubt, Marie is just the best at waxing. She does my brows and my bikini and always does a fabulous job. Don't go anywhere else. Seriously...don't.

5 Stars: Marie is Awesome! (by eastchinanormal)

eastchinanormal — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Marie is AMAZING at waxing eyebrows! I completely trust her with mine and I have never been one to wax my browsin the past . I love my shape and have also gotten a number of compliments from friends and family on how great they look. It is such a relief not having to feel frustrated about constantly keeping my brows even because Marie will do the work for me! If your looking for someone for facial waxing especially in eyebrow waxing go see Marie immediately!

5 Stars: Excellent place for a brazilian... (by stephm36)

stephm36 — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Aldera waxed me today and she is wonderful! It's a perfect wax job for a good price! Horray for Salon Dewi!

5 Stars: Marie rocks!!! (by zephyrilia)

zephyrilia — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I'm not what you would call a waxing virgin. I've been around the block a few times... I was a bit leary of checking out Salon Dewi because it kind of looks like a shady place from the outside. But, judge not by its cover! Inside is very clean, staff if professional and fun... plus Marie ROCKS. She does brow shaping/waxes like nobody's business, PLUS all the other unmentionables. If you're getting a little hairy then go see Marie for your landscaping needs! (P.S. She does facials, too.)

4 Stars: LOVE MARIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (by pisay)

pisay — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:00:00 GMT

When I first went to Salon Dewi I was really worried. I had finally decided to leave my
waxist who I loved but who didn't quite love my brows back. How do you trust a completely
new waxist when you can barely trust the one you've already had? Go to Salon Dewi. Okay
so I can't say everyone is fabulous there because I haven't seen everybody but the place is
referred to as the "Waxing Diva." And yeah, they probably gave themselves that name but with
Marie it's really true. I told her my concerns and we talked about what she planned to do before
she started stripping away and just that alone made me feel so much better. She never strips too
much hair away (my last waxist sometimes got a little too wax happy) and she makes sure every
strand of hair is removed from my...other areas.

5 Stars: NO MORE BACK PAIN - thanks to Bobi (by picaso1973)

picaso1973 — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I've been battling back pain for years, chiropractors, doctors exams, ibuprofen, you name it.
Finally, after a recommendation from a friend, I went to see Bobi at Salon Dewi. He started right in with a deep tissue massage, he really pin pointed the area where I was having the most problems with tight muscles. He didn't just relax my back muscles, but my shoulders neck, and most importantly my legs. He explained that the pain could be reoccurring due to my posture caused by tight hamstrings and other related muscles.
I've been seeing him for 3 months now and have never felt better. I invested one of the Massage packages you can buy, which saves me money, and reminds me to book ahead.
Thanks a million Bobi you are the BEST!!!!

5 Stars: Matthew - as close as they come in miracle workers (by gravitygirl)

gravitygirl — Tue, 27 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

so last minute i decide i must have a massage because i am sore and stiff and it's just been way too long since i've been worked on. i call dewi and they could actually fit me in super quick - same afternoon. i get there and it's great because instead of that akward get undressed and lie down thing, i was told that i could go start relaxing in this hot sauna type room. it was nice to unwind a minute before the massage and it did not cost anything extra! and then therapist matthew came & got me out and gave me time to get comfy on the table. during the massage he was super attentive and checked in with me often ,explaining my aches and pains better than my physician as he went along. he had a good attenetion to detail and found my sore spots without a lengthy discussion. it was like we were working together to make me feel better ( not just me passed out on the table disconnected from my senses). so anyways i give him a big thumbs up. this is big because i am in the industry so i feel like i can spot good service when i see it. he also gave suggestions about what i can do for myself to heal inbetween visits and that was definitely above and beyond.

5 Stars: Best Brazillian wax ever! (by dianna9)

dianna9 — Thu, 08 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I was just in to get waxed by Travis the waxing Diva yesterday for my upcoming wedding and honeymoon! I have been going to Wax on and was usually satisfied, but it wasn't always consistent. I had heard of Travis and how fabulous he is and believe me, I wasn't disapointed! It was the BEST and most painless Brazilian wax I have ever had!! The salon is very nice and clean with fun products!

5 Stars: Matthew gives the best massage I have ever had (by amjordan)

amjordan — Sat, 03 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I have enjoyed many massages in my lifetime, but Matthew at Salon Dewi, gives the best rub down that I have ever experienced. While I usually have a massage every couple of months, since I have experienced a massage by Matthew I find myself craving a massage as often as possible. Let me tell you a couple of things that I find especially superb about his style. First off, he is warm, personable, and he makes me feel like he genuinely wants to make my body feel the best that it can. I do have a physical job, and Matthew has such an amazing understanding of the body that he knows exactly where my muscles might be sore due to the kind of daily rigors I experience. During my massage he often tells me the specific muscle he is working on and why it is important. Another benefit of his body knowledge is that he knows what muscles are tight and need work, often when I don't. Matthew reminds me to breath, something that is very important during massage, but often ignored. Don't let me forget to mention one of the most important and appreciated aspects of this guys work. I never feel rushed, the traditional 50 minute massage is often a 60 minute massage. What I ADORE about his style is that he always gives a balanced massage even if he spends extra time on a problem area. I always leave salon Dewi feeling relaxed, and rejuvinated. My body feels good all week and I can't wait to do it again.

For those of us who love when our hair stylist give us a scalp massage.... I must say that Matthew raises the bar on step higher

5 Stars: amazing facial (by Seattlelawson)

Seattlelawson — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I recently received a male facial treatment at dewi, and it was amazing. The oils and heat and massage treatments were very relaxing, I couldnt help but falling asleep for a second. My face felt great when I left and has cleared up pretty nicely in the couple weeks since my treatment. thanks to marie for a great facial, ill see you again soon!

5 Stars: Always a Happy Ending with Eri (by melpdx)

melpdx — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I found Salon Dewi and Eri last year on City Search when I was looking for a salon to have a brazilian. I have been going there ever since and have never been disappointed with the friendly staff and wonderfully relaxed atmosphere that Eri provides. Salon Dewi offers superior services and that is why they are named as best year after year.

5 Stars: Tiana Joy is the best massage therapist! (by user2008)

user2008 — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I found salon Dewi through City Search, because my back was killing me. After a session with Tiana I found out that one of my ribs was actually dislocated. She fixed it during that one session. And, I felt much better right after. It was a huge relief. I highly recommend her.

5 Stars: Always happy when I leave (by DaDa0628)

DaDa0628 — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Marie, you are the best. I found Salon Dewi on 'the best of citysearch.' With all the rave reviews Marie had, I made sure I made an appointment with her. I must say, Marie made my eyebrows so lovely. The best it ever looked in my life. About my 5th visit there, I decided to try Marie's hand on facial. She analyzed my skin and made me a custom facial. It was so relaxing, I felt completely at ease afterward. If you're very fastidious with your eyebrows, look Marie up. She'll take good care of you.

5 Stars: Bring on the best bikini wax ever! summer is commin! (by bonzarella)

bonzarella — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Salon Dewi is awesome. ive gone to see marie three times now and it just gets easier each visit. we all know how dreaded the bikini wax can be but for some reason i always feel SUPER relaxed after each waxing. shes very quick and i feel comfortable cracking jokes with her and chatting while my most private area is exposed. sounds weird, does it? well not to a hairy italian girl who has had to undress from the waist down for numerious tramatic bikini wax experiences. im so glad i found her after only living here for a few months, its a relief to know that i dont have to search for someone else. ive had such bad experiences with waxers and wax. in the past ive been burned, raw for days, ive blead, gotten rashes, and have left with wax stuck all over the place. marie uses three types of wax for each precious and tender area depending. her prices are extremely reasonable and she tells me she does facials too. so if you need a great bikini line, brazilian, or a complete front to back this is a badass chick to do it.!

5 Stars: Never trusting my brows to another soul! Marie is the BEST! (by Malari)

Malari — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I knew when I walked into Salon Dewi that I had chosen the right spot to get my brows waxed. The staff was friendly and warm, offering me a glass of water or tea as soon as I walked in. The atmosphere was so relaxing, like a spa in Bali. I had scheduled a brow wax with Marie. She was so cute and professional. She greeted me with a warm handshake and smile. The entire session was really peaceful. She worked a miracle on my brows, I did'nt think they could look this good. I mean really. I have a tendency to take the tweezers and hack away until I have brows that look like I got in a fight with a lawn mower...and SHE FIXED THEM! They look beautiful, I don't even have to pencil them in!
I will never trust any waxing to anyone else! Marie is my gal!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

4 Stars: Waxing from the waxing diva! (by steve555)

steve555 — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I had my back waxed with Travis. I was sooooo nervous, because well...... I'm not a back waxing kind of guy but I did it for my wife. Travis and his staff made me feel comfortable. He was V E R Y quick and I'd like to say painless-- but alas .........in the end my wife loved it and I was really happy too.

5 Stars: HIP HIP HOORAY for the waxing DIVA!! (by misschristine)

misschristine — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Travis at Salon Dewi is the best. I've been having my waxing done by him for years....now I travel from San Diego to see him. He's super fast, super detailed, has great parking and treats you like a good friend right from the start. He has lots of fun things in his salon. My last visit I had body scrub and massage. WOW, it was fantastic!

5 Stars: Best Esthetician 'Ive ever met! (by nadahalo)

nadahalo — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I just recently became a client here and I would never go to anyone else for waxing and skincare. Alicia is SO good at what she does and is totally adorable.! I feel like I have a rockstar working on me! She transformed my entire face,, from my now perfect brows to my flawless, glowing skin. Besides all that she is super cool and funny!I look forward to my next appt with her and I highly recommend this girl to be your new "beauty specialist".

1 Stars: worst waxing ever (by dirk_seattle)

dirk_seattle — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I have had my chest and back waxed from several places in Seattle, but this must be the worst. I didn't recover for at least 5 days -- even cotton shirts hurt....maybe the wax was to hot or something but I will never go back.

The staff was nice and the atmosphere was nice as well but not worth being burnt.

5 Stars: Salon Dewi (by hawaiinpunch13)

hawaiinpunch13 — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Marie rocks!!
I have been in twice to see Marie and have her wax my brows and am very impressed with her excellent service, attention to detail and very friendly attitude. I am very addicted to brow waxes, yet being a male, not wanting to get any arch or have them look feminine, and with Marie I received exactly what I wanted and did not get anything that I didn't. Very comfortable enviroment, wonderful service, and very friendly staff. I highly recommend others to check out Salon Dewi / Marie for any facial / waxing services...

5 Stars: Travis is MY SAVIOR!! I wont go anywhere else! (by bestgirlwins)

bestgirlwins — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Salon Dewi for a while now,and absolutely love it. From the friendly people to the quick and amazing wax. I have never been happier to go get hair removal! I recently went to see Travis for my regular wax and he told me I needed a little something extra..A bikini BLAST he told me, at first I was sceptical. "This is like a facial for your toot toot" he told me. How could I turn that down. During the winter months when you need a little exfoliatong why would you ignore down there? Well,now I am sold..and will be doing the Bikini Blast regularly. Go get one!

5 Stars: Behold: The Waxing Diva Has Arrived! (by moliveros)

moliveros — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Well, if Salon Dewi is recommended by The New York Times, it just *has* to be good, right? Salon Dewi is so much more than "good." The salon is quaint, welcoming, and serene. The entire space is carefully decorated and in the bathrooms, you get actual towels for your hands (not paper towels!). I've had my fair share of Brazilian waxes from a couple local big named salons so I had an idea of what was good and not good. Travis, dubbed the Waxing Diva, is PERFECT! By far, he orchestrates the best and most thorough Brazilian wax out there while making you feel absolutely comfortable. This was the first time I ever met Travis and not once did I feel like a "client." Although there are closer salons that offer mediocre Brazilian waxes, I will be going out of my way and into downtown Seattle to get my monthly dose of the Waxing Diva.

5 Stars: Alicia is amazing!! (by jennimay)

jennimay — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I ve had such bad experiences with estheticians in the past. Alicia is the best Ive ever met. She is very knowledgeable about skincare and the specific needs of MY skin. She customizes her facials and has the most amazing touch. She also takes care of ALL my waxing including Brazilian. She is FAST and efficiant and always has a hilarious story to tell. I feel so comfortable when I am in her care. I highly recommend her and advise you to book asap.. she is a busy girl.

5 Stars: Best waxer (by sadie_sereindipity)

sadie_sereindipity — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Marie will make you feel right at home with her waxing style! Short & sweet! It's over before you know it! I make sure to go in there before a big date or event and she always makes my eyebrows look so fabulous!

5 Stars: Great Massage! (by j35)

j35 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I have received a handful of massages from various therapists, mainly on business trips and vacations. I was recently massaged by Matthew at Salon Dewi, on Capitol Hill. His unique style and approach worked very well for me. He has nice pressure and was good about checking in with me throughout the massage, which was reassuring. The best thing about the whole experience is that my right hand doesn?t go numb like it used to. I also recommend using their sauna before hand, it was great!

5 Stars: Excellent Experience (by breadmaker)

breadmaker — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and caring staff made my experience very satisfying! Get your eyebrows waxed by Marie! She did a great job and is helping me restore them back into shape. :)

1 Stars: Disappointment!!! (by kef14)

kef14 — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I have gone to Salon Dewi a handful of times and always had a nice experience, until this last time. I went in for a massage, which went ok for the first hour. When I was asked if I wanted my abs rubbed, I said sure. I've had my abs rubbed maybe a dozen times before by a dozen different massage therapists, but NEVER had any of them just pulled back the blanket leaving me and my breasts exposed. EVERY other massage therapist I have gone to has always taken great care in keeping certain parts of the body covered up. I covered myself up, which seemed to surprise him. I spent the next twenty minutes wondering why I wasn't getting up to leave. I was in total shock. So unprofessional!!! and what a disappointment, I really liked going to Salon Dewi, but now I will never go there again.

5 Stars: Do you want a piece of heaven? (by tchrcarma)

tchrcarma — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Stop looking. No, I mean it stop looking! This is the spa you want. My husband was searching just like you are doing now for the best spa to pamper me for my 40th birthday. He wanted a place that when I was done I couldn't even think straight. As soon as I walked through the front door every person I met was helpful and kind. Usually in spa's they are kind in a phony kind of way, you know the yes I will be kind to you because I am going to charge you a lot of money. Salon Dewi isn't like any other salon I have experienced or have heard about.

I had the Hydrate before you Hibernate package. They started with a raw sugar, salt and armotherapy mixture and scrubbed it all over. Then I went to the shower for a nice relaxing rinse. Then back to the room for a mixture of oils and honey. Then I was wrapped up in warmed for 30 minutes. This was followed by a shea butter mixed with olive oil and armotherapy massage for 30 minutes. Then you get this amazing facial.

When I left I had to remember my name! I was so relaxed. I am a school teacher and relaxing isn't always easy. Please trust me. This is the place you want to go. It is so worth the time and investment to treat your body right. Bobi is the one who gave me the massage. His massage technique is gentle and relaxing. I have never had a facial and the woman who did it was patient and explained the whole technique to me.

I have no problems recommending my friends and family go to this salon. I will be coming back in the future. Come on...what are you waiting for...treat yourself to a little piece of heaven!

5 Stars: Marie is the best Aesthetician/Waxing Specialist in Seattle! (by fallenstar73)

fallenstar73 — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I've found my aesthetician for life! She's always on time and super friendly. I get my brows and brazilian done once a month with her and she rocks! My brows have never been this defined and well groomed. Always taking the time to look at my new haircut or style, Marie takes the time to make sure my brows correct. I also love that I get both services done in about 30 to 45 minutes, without feeling rushed. We have such a great conversation that my brazilian is over in no time. (It's probably her technique also.) I just splurged and had an hour facial with her and it was the most in depth, pampering treatment ever. I left feeling relaxed and fresh. She really impressed me with her knowledge of skincare. Her advice was accurate and she sold me exactly what I needed without being pushy. All in all, I love Marie and Salon Dewi. You're the best, see you in 3 weeks!

5 Stars: Marie: Excellent Esthetician (by idieh)

idieh — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Marie provided me with my first positive brow waxing experience. She was wonderful, punctual, quick, pleasant to talk to, professional and spent time making sure that my brows were perfect. I highly recommend her services and plan on returning to her routinely.

5 Stars: Loving Dewi and the Diva (by paiges_mom)

paiges_mom — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Alicia and Waxing Diva Travis Powell are the best in the business. Who else can make you laugh under ?Brazilian? circumstances, like Salon Dewi. Every time I go in I spend way too much money on the cute lingerie and men?s briefs.
I had my first facial with Amy the other day and it was fabulous. It was sooo relaxing, it was hard to go back to work and my skin looked amazing. She combined relaxing essential oil blends with reiki as well as doing her best to diagnosis my skins needs. Apparently, she worked at Ummelina for 6 years and Salon Dewi snatched her up. For someone who has struggled with acne her whole life it was nice not having someone shove pills and prescriptions at me. This is a must do!

1 Stars: D'R'A'M'A (by darla222)

darla222 — Mon, 28 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

Unfortunately a neighborhood place where the staff doesn't seem to get out of the neighborhood. Gossip and drama take away from any service they attempt to provide.

3 Stars: Alicia is my waxing guru! (by seatac80)

seatac80 — Wed, 16 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

First, Dewi is a great salon--very laid-back, relaxed atmosphere. No sales pressure, no chichi staff. The spa also carries a cute selection of lingerie (including Hanky Panky thongs!) and great skin products and makeup. Second, I keep going back for Alicia. I've had Brazilians in 3 states, and she is by far the best. She also touches up my brows on occasion, but her Brazilian is fast and relatively pain-free. Plus, she's fun to talk to. I'd recommend Salon Dewi--especially Alicia--to anyone.

5 Stars: Best place for men's waxing. Period! (by bkny2)

bkny2 — Sun, 13 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I would never go anywere else for waxing services. Travis, Alicia and company rock! If you feel like trying a male brizilian or even more basic waxing I would definitely recommend these guys. They know what they're doing. One more note about the brazilian: It's not as bad as you think, with these guys behind the wheel. That being said, have a drink first!

3 Stars: Best Place in Town (by ashwasia)

ashwasia — Mon, 07 May 2007 02:00:00 GMT

First of all I want to say how much I love the Diva he is a honest hard working person. I am not sure where the bad reviews came from but I am sure it was probably someone trying to be like the Diva.. Maybe you should pay more attention to your clients and less attention to your competion.. I would recommend Salon Dewi to anyone interested in having a relaxing afternoon. You will walk away from Salon Dewi like a whole new person. Make your appointment today. Customer Service is exceptional and Salon is clean and inviting.

5 Stars: The best way to spend a birthday afternoon... (by jasonreindorp)

jasonreindorp — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

I spent yesterday afternoon at Salon Dewi. It was my birthday and I decided to give myself a treat. It was heaven! I've been to a lot of spas and Travis' crew really stands out. They're really good at what they do and the treatments don't break the bank. I started off with a sugar/salt scrub and massage with Bobi which was fantastic and then moved on to a facial and pedi with Eri. I came out feeling ten years younger and glowing. It was awesome...

5 Stars: Great Place! (by carleyf)

carleyf — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I just went there today for my first ever brow wax. I was alittle nervous seeings how I've never had my brows waxed and I didn't want to much taken off. When I walked in I was immediately greated by Travis who offered me something to drink and asked me how my day was. Everyone there was extremely friendly and I was completely happy with Alicia who did my brows. They looked awesome and I will definitely be going back to get them done again!

lilliangrace — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I came to Seattle for a visit and was treated to a wonderful facial. Amy is very knowledgeable in skin care. It was a very relaxing experience. When the facial was finished she explained to me what my skin was lacking and helped me get the products I needed for my skin. I treated myself to some of the fun and very nice lingerie.

rowergirl — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I was looking forward to nice pampering at Salon Dewi. They charge $30 for a normal manicure and an extra $10 for french polish. Everything about the manicure was horible. The girl didn't even really do the cuticles at all and she started painting french on and i had to stop her because it was looking so bad. The polish looks really old and crusty and started chipping just a day after. I'll never get a manicure here again.

5 Stars: Great Massage! (by fenderbender)

fenderbender — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I had a wonderful experience. David gave me a very relaxing hot stone massage. The atmosphere in the salon is very soothing and enjoyable. I would recommend that anyone in the need of a pick me up or a relaxing time go there. I wish I had time to try some of their other treatments but I didn't have time. Next time I am in town I will schedule myself a full day of services.

5 Stars: Eri and Amy are the best! (by thehairlesswonder)

thehairlesswonder — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I had a facial with Eri and it was so relaxing! Eri explained to me what she was doing and gave me suggestions on what I could do at home to improve my skin. She was not pushy, she just educated me on what I could do. I also had my first Brazilian was with Amy. I was a little nervous. She walked me thorough the process and took my mind off the pain. She was very good at creating a conversation that kept us both involved. She directed me so that the pain would be minimal and so that I would not bruise. I have to say that the experience was not as bad as I had expected it to be. Actually the results are worth it!. I am so glad that I found Salon DEWI.

5 Stars: Travis is not a gossip (by lardian)

Have been going to Travis for years and he is not a gossip. He has the best waxing and lash tint technique I hav ever experienced. The salon is beautiful and very relaxing. Travis ROCKS!!!!

3 Stars: Loving Dewi and the Diva (by lindadodge)

lindadodge — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Salon Dewi has been my regular waxing and relaxation palace since I followed Travis from his previous Salon five years ago and I would never go anywhere else! The setting and the staff are warm and inviting and every therapist has made me feel totally relaxed and comfortable no matter what service I'm having. Travis is absolutely hilarious and loves to show off the hilarious 'FUNderwear' he sells and give you a mini-makeover before you go back to work or out to play. I don't know about this gossiping business- I've known Travis for years and he has a wonderful reputation in town- not only as a business owner but also as a great friend It's Travis and his staff that make Dewi feel like a home away from home!

3 Stars: Quite a talker (by kapopple)

kapopple — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Tried this place after a different place, needed it in a pinch since I couldn't get in to see my regular waxer. Was an okay service, but Travis was a talker, and not in a positive way. Negative comments and gossip galore. Some may like this but it made me wonder what he said about me after I left. Will not be returning. Customer service is not about trying to be funny at another's expense. It's individual attention.

5 Stars: Salon Dewi is Doin' It! (by mocha4581)

mocha4581 — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Can I just say I was deathly afraid of getting a bikini waxed due to the previous company I went through. I was recommended Salon Dewi through a friend. I came in a bit nervous but my aesthetician Eri made me feel so relaxed. She is super cute, and incredibly personable. She answered every question I had and was happy to do so! Eri did an excellent job on my extended bikini wax! She was quick; yet meticulous. I could tell she was highly trained and I will never go to anyone else again. The customer service is fabulous, and the ambiance is clean w/an Asian Fusion theme. Salon Dewi is my new waxing place!

5 Stars: They're soo good--even our boss thinks so! (by rpo917)

rpo917 — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Travis is the best at Brazilian waxes! He's quick and thorough... and funny! I love coming here and it shows, just ask Travis and the rest. I first visited in March 2006 and have been in just about every 4 weeks for my "usual" facial and brazilian! Twice I've brought my coworkers for a Girls' Night Out for an afterwork pampering... We had so much fun with Travis, Kathleen, Eri, Katie... :) Our boss even noticed the "afterglow" we exuded for days after! (We get to do this quarterly now! Yay!) Love the services, love the people! :) Thanks for the wonderful experiences Salon DEWI!

5 Stars: best EVER! (by pikake21)

pikake21 — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I have been to Salon Dewi numerous times and have never been let down. Additionally, I have brought many girlfriends and family members here, and they have been equally pleased. I have had the Brazilian done around town (which now that I type and re-read that, I feel like I should erase..), and there is NOBODY that compares to Travis. Not only is he hilarious and fun, but I feel as though my wax goes by very quickly, so it is not uncomfortable nor painful. At other salons, I have had to suffer the wrath of inexperienced waxers, or those who choose to apply and re-apply wax on newly waxed patches of skin. This is something that has never happened at Salon Dewi. I am forever raving about how much better they compare to other salons, when talking with friends. They are kind and considerate, with excellent customer service skills. I have never had a problem booking an appointment, and even when I've left messages on the vmail, I have promptly received calls back. I was considering having a lemon drop pedicure, so now that I've read all of the reviews on those, I think I am going to call and book my appointment accordingly!

5 Stars: Best Pedicure in Town, Thanks Kathleen (by wetbuck)

wetbuck — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 02:00:00 GMT

If you are looking for a pedicure that will relax you like no other, then go to Kathleen at Salon Dewi and get the Lemon-Drop pedicure. It was my first time ever having a pedicure and I am HOOKED. Kathleen is the best!, funny,entle, and knows her stuff. The brown sugar lemon scrub is the best. In my 46 years on this planet, my feet have never looked or felt so good. Thanks Kathleen!!!!

Kathleen, you ROCK girl! Thanks for making my feet feel like a baby's bum! My girlfriend loves it and I'm coming back in 2 weeks (with her) so have the lemon drops ready!! She's going to do the OPI Diamond Dust color that you were talking about.

Hey folks, if you want the best pedicure on the planet, go to Kathleen at Salon Dewi!

5 Stars: KATHLEEN'S LEMON DROP PEDICURES ARE THE BEST!! (by satoria)

satoria — Sun, 16 Jul 2006 02:00:00 GMT

I went to Salon Dewi to get a pedicure. I had been to a lot of different places, but there was nothing like the lemon drop pedicure that I received from Kathleen! She was VERY gentle with my cuticles, and gave me quite the foot massage. The lemon drops were awesome! I don't know what her recipe is, but I would sure like to have it! She helped me choose the best polish for my skin tone and then used a wonderful Brown Sugar & Lemon scrub on my feet. It felt great, but the best part about it was how wonderful my skin feet afterwards! They make that scrub right there in the spa and I wanted that recipe too! I decided to schedule a Lemon Drop Party Pedicure. I'm bringing in 3 of the girls, and the 4 of us will have Kathleen do our pedicures while we have lemon drops and party it up...just before heading to Chapel! I highly recommend Kathleen!

5 Stars: A Waxing Delight (by 555mrmike)

555mrmike — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Salon Dewi is a purely wonderful place. I have been in twice having parts of my body waxed. The entire experience is wonderful from the moment you walk in the door. It is clean, it smells good, it is beautiful, it is serene. The services I have had from Travis Powell have been amazing. Besides being THE professional Waxing Diva, he is kind, witty, and thoughtful. To be honest...I never expected to be a customer in a body waxing salon...but now I am hooked. Salon Dewi is a real Seattle pleasure palace.

5 Stars: Customer Service are very friendly! (by chocolate2)

chocolate2 — Thu, 08 Jun 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Since I visited Salon Dewi only twice. Anyway to my ultimate experiences! I entered to Salon Dewi as first I came in, I smell sweet incense and I met friendiness person named Travis, he offered me tea to sit and relax and waiting for Massage Therapist, his name is Nadov Nahari, LMP. He is the best massage that I ever had since I regularly seeing him every week since 2005 at his other office. My tension has melted away from his strokes. He is wonderful, friendly and professional man. He respects my resistance during massage and eventually does a great strokes and allowing my body to accept him. I am highly recommend to anyone to visit Nadov Nahari, LMP. He would melt your body into relaxation like a cloud. He makes you sleep! I actually hooked into massage from him. I cannot compare to any LMP who are better than him NEVER better than him.. He is the best!

5 Stars: Great service atmosphere and staff! (by dancingbird)

dancingbird — Sat, 20 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

This place is great! Travis is fantastic if you're going in for waxing, but I used to see other folks and they were always very good too. The massages are excellent, although a bit pricey compared to other locations -- but the UV light box is a nice touch. Plus, where else can you get such loving care? If you need a spa for all of your pampering and regular care -- this is it!

5 Stars: Travis IS the Waxing Diva (by romanticandnaive)

romanticandnaive — Thu, 11 May 2006 02:00:00 GMT

Wow! Walk in and feel the warmth! This place is so inviting and relaxing. AND I got the BEST waxing ever. My brows looked like movie star brows once Travis was finished with them. The best Brazilian in town (and, yes, it hurts just a little, but it's worth it). I also got an amazing facial. My skin still feels soft. I can't say enough good stuff about SalonDEWI. I love the atmosphere and the great results.

5 Stars: Alicia is amazing! (by bsaimons)

bsaimons — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 01:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Salon Dewi for about two years now, and their service has been consistently great! The spa staff is welcoming, and Alicia does quick and relatively painless brazilians! I wouldn't go anywhere else.

being a college student, funds are pretty scarce but i love how reasonable the pricing is at salon dewi. plus, travis always makes sure that you're happy with your results!

5 Stars: I always feel so welcomed! (by michelleperryamos)

michelleperryamos — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Travis and his staff are great! When you go for a facial you experience a mini vacation. He is always willing to work with what YOU need and want and you will not hear "We don't do that here."

The waxing is quick and clean. The pricing is very fair and quaranteed. I highly recommend Salon Dewi for facials, massages and waxing.

Love Travis and the staff at Salon Dewi. My brows have never looked better.
Aside from the great job everytime, you can always count on Travis to cheer you up and send you out the door with a smile. He makes a point to spend the time and go the extra mile. Lots of other services available too! Great place to get an incredible massage from Tiana Joy!

5 Stars: amazing (by bethonia)

bethonia — Sun, 08 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Travis is simply amazing when it comes to hair removal; his amiable personality sets you at ease the first time you arrive. I highly recommend anyone needing to have hair removed to see this man!

5 Stars: Cynthia (by markeeam)

markeeam — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 01:00:00 GMT

Cynthia totally hooked up my skin! I had been going about things all wrong for years and she recognized what no other specialist had and got me using appropriate products which cleared up my skin problems. Be prepared though, her facials are like a work out. She means business.

5 Stars: Perfect in every way! (by jkit10)

jkit10 — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 02:00:00 GMT

I took my first trip to see Travis last month, and I loved it! I was having a very stressful day, and by the time I got to Salon Dewi, I was frazzled beyond belief - but I was instantly relaxed the minute I laid down in the chair. Travis is funny, attentive, and best of all, a true waxing diva - he's amazing, with unparalleled skills. I've never been more comfortable, or felt so relaxed, while enduring the (reasonable) pain of a Brazilian. Travis and his staff are amazing, and he has a customer for life in me!

5 Stars: The best wax and lash tint I've ever gotten (by Amanda R.)

Amanda R. — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 14:50:00 GMT

The prices are comparable to other salons, but the quality is much higher. I regularly get my brows waxed and my appointment with Travis was the first time I didn't have a rash or bumps afterwards, not to mention my brows were so perfect they could have been painted on. Lash tinting is another luxurious treat. I took my sister and my mother and they agree it's the best place to be waxed. Now I just have to get my courage up to get a Brazilian.

PROS: Very comfortable and personalized, good prices
CONS:

5 Stars: The Temple of the Diva (by hicksparker)

hicksparker — Tue, 10 May 2005 02:00:00 GMT

After trying spas and salons in places all over the U.S. I have found three of my massage and skin care soulmates. Lisa is the absolute best when it comes to careing for my sesitive skin and has helped me regain my clear skin after and outbreack of acne and hives. I have come to trust no one but Travis with my eyebrows and have developed a great relationship with Crystal when it comes to turning down the stress in my body with massage. It does not matter weather it is a 30 minute massage or a 1and 1/2 hour body treatment I feel like my body has foud peace and inner calm.

1 Stars: Beauty is not the only thing that's skin deep (by engines2005)

engines2005 — Wed, 27 Apr 2005 02:00:00 GMT

If integrity had a presence in this place it would resemble a waxing gone bad. Character of an individual is something that goes beyond the call of duty or at least to those who answer the phone. Hmm maybe if I wasn't a paying client...... the level of rudeness & arrogance could really shine through & it is wondered why businesses don't last...

5 Stars: A Must Visit for all Divas! (by kathyfisher2005)

It's nice to find a salon with a professional atmosphere that includes fun, friendly, experienced and talented staff who actually answer the phone when you call to make an appointment! I'm so glad Dejha relocated to a place I feel really comfortable going to....she is simply the best. It's clean, well stocked with all the extras, no high pressure sales, great deals and a relaxed atmosphere that allows you to completely enjoy the experience.

1 Stars: awful (by theathena)

theathena — Fri, 18 Mar 2005 01:00:00 GMT

all the staff seemed completely fake and incompetent, which i was willing to overlook if my wax went well- which it did not. i was horrified by their lack of general good business practice, such as the added expense at the end of my service, of which i was not informed of prior to my procedure, the high pressure sales tactics, the general uncleanly feel of the establishment ( like it had been a long while since a real deep cleaning), and most importantly, my wax job was AWFUL! it was uneven, and i was red and bumpy for days afterward.
i certianly will never return to this sorry excuse for a spa and would highly reccomend no one else does, either.

5 Stars: Amazing! (by svaezy)

Travis is simply fabulous! I would trust no one else with my brows and travel for well over an hour for an appointment. Travis has helped me find a skin regime which cleared and brightened my complexion. He is tremendously gifted at making you look your best. If you want to look like a Diva, go to Salon Dewi. You will get compliments on a consistent basis. Trust me, I know.

I'm just back from another visit to Salon Dewi. It's always such a wonderful and relaxing experience. The staff is so friendly and caring. They are just what a person needs to help me relax and pamper myself on a friday lunchbreak. This is an unsolicited review and I recommend this spa with the utmost confidence!

I love this salon. I went there for a brazilian wax and Travis is the best by far. He was gentle, fun, and very skilled. This has been the best salon I have been to because it is very welcoming and relaxing. Travis truly is the Waxing Diva!

5 Stars: ultimate Experience (by caseyautumn)

caseyautumn — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 02:00:00 GMT

I had the most enjoyable time at the Salon Dewi. I had a service called the Ultimate Experience, and it was out of this world!! I was treated like royalty, and the service I recieved was the "ultimate experience" I had a relaxing facial to start with, than this seaweed wrap that made my skin feel so renewed, and to end it all I had an awsome massage. The girls that performed my service were so sweet making sure every need of mine was met. The atmosphere is so unique down to the tea I was served. I can't rave enough about this salon and the sevice I recieved. I highly recomend this service/salon to anyone who is looking for a wonderful time of pampering, relaxing and just feeling so great. Thank you Salon Dewi-you really made my day!

5 Stars: you're a fool if you don't come here (by shaunaforce)

shaunaforce — Thu, 30 Sep 2004 02:00:00 GMT

I love this place.
Before I crossed through the doorway of Salon Dewi, I was a waxing virgin. But now, I'm a passionate devotee.
Something compelled me to come in that first time. Intuition? A brilliant stroke of luck? Whatever it was, I'm thrilled. I had the chance to meet Travis. He's funny, accepting, and a wonder with the wax. Now, I come in every two weeks to have my brows done and more conversation with him.
When I was in New York last weekend, I was visiting Bendel's, one of the exclusive stores on 5th Avenue. In the middle of helping me buy some cosmetics, the fashionable woman at the counter paused, then said, with awe, "Where do you get your brows done?"
I laughed. "Salon Dewi. In Seattle."

5 Stars: Salon Dewi a MUST (by stacey_beaman)

stacey_beaman — Mon, 16 Aug 2004 02:00:00 GMT

Admittedly I am a bit of a day spa junkie. Every city I visit I try out a local spa. Seattle did not dissapoint! What Salon Dewi lacks in flash, it makes up in treatment. I was lucky enough to score an appointment with the talented David Martin and believe me, I will NEVER forget that massage! You may not get a terry cloth robe or a jacuzzi to hang out in, but you will walk out of Salon Dewi feeling as if you were floating on a cloud.

5 Stars: Amazing Rhassoul Clay Wrap (by ramona1306)

ramona1306 — Wed, 02 Jun 2004 02:00:00 GMT

Take my advice - Treat yourself to a Moroccan Rhassoul Clay Wrap. You'll be cocooned in healthy minerals, ground herbs, flowers and oils followed by a relaxing full body massage. Your skin will feel refreshed and exfoliated, and your body will be relaxed and centered. David Martin's attention to detail and experienced hands will transport you in a cloud of exotic spices to your happy place. David is hard to get an appointment with so call soon! Trust me, this afternoon of beauty was worth every penny!

Travis gave me my first Brazilian before my wedding. I was extremely nervous, but he put me at ease immediately and distracted me throughout the entire "event" with his humor and wit. He is talented and very accepting of everyone. As a larger woman, I felt he was very adept at making everyone feel they are a diva!

hartpence — Fri, 26 Dec 2003 01:00:00 GMT

When I first went to Salon Dewi, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a hot cup of jasmine tea--it was so relaxing right from the start. I had their signature "Dewi" facial--which they told me means "god or goddess" in Balinese, and that is what I felt like afterward. I will definitely go back for another facial, and will try a massage next time too.

I love the facial I received from Travis. He is aswome I came all the way from Blackfoot, Idaho just for a relaxing vacation and I received so much more. I was able to receive a facial as well as a massage. I would recommend Salon Dewi to anyone. The staff is very kind and respectful. Salon Dewi is number one in my book!

kellybrooke — Sun, 01 Dec 2002 01:00:00 GMT

I've been to Salon Dewi only twice, once for a leg wax with Mae and once for a facial with Travis. Both visits were great. I was in a hurry for the wax but Mae got me in and out of there and back to work without a hitch. She never seemed frazzled at all. She answered my questions and discussed skincare all the while distracting me from the waxjob so it seemed painless. Travis is awesome! I followed him from a previous salon and love him!!
And the art on the walls!! Fabulous!!
