West Seattle's Alaska Junction welcomes a touch of glamour today as Gene Juarez Salon & Spa opens its doors at 4730 California Ave SW, Suite C. This new boutique-style location, offering a full range of salon and skincare services in a modern and intimate atmosphere, now occupies the space previously home to Sound Credit Union, which announced its departure from the location nearly a year ago.

The salon boasts a comprehensive menu, including a dedicated barber, expert haircuts, coloring, specialized services for textured and curly hair, and hair extensions. On the spa side, clients can indulge in facials, waxing, and various lash and brow treatments, all provided by a team of skilled professionals within a tranquil setting.

Gene Juarez's dedication to quality is evident in its emphasis on rigorous training and continuous education for all artists and therapists. Service pricing reflects the experience level of each artist, and the salon stands behind its work with a guarantee, offering complimentary corrections if a guest isn't completely satisfied.

Continuing its commitment to environmental responsibility, Gene Juarez at this location aims to recycle at least 95% of all beauty service waste through its partnership with Green Circle Salons. The company also prioritizes sustainability in its product choices, recently introducing Davines, a B Corp premium haircare line that supports regenerative farming practices.

Conveniently situated across from Bakery Nouveau and adjacent to Chipotle, the salon operates Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Appointments can be easily made online at genejuarez.com or by calling or texting (206) 279-5777.
