Beauty & Spas in Bellevue

People who come to Mindy Harbaugh for a facial might notice the extra care she takes to match clients with the right treatment, as well as her joy in their successful transformations. Before opening Min’s Day Spa, Mindy spent many years as a nurse, and her career working with patients helped shape her approach to client comfort as she transitioned into her new operation. Upon examining the service offerings of the spa industry, the career medical provider found that her skill set uniquely positioned her to raise the bar. With the goal of providing results-oriented beauty treatments, she compiled her menu of services that includes familiar spa staples such as rejuvenating body wraps, massages, and waxing, with technology-based offerings such as non-laser HydraFacial MD treatments. Clients can expect every service completed with the care earned by Mindy’s years of experience in the health field as well as her belief in offering only treatments that she has tested and found to work.

SkinMD's physician and aestheticians work with patients to create customized skincare plans, with the goal of improving the effectiveness of treatments for people of all skin colors. Cosmetic injections, dermal fillers, and cortisone treatments form the base of physician services, while a range of facials and oversized foam fingers help battle signs of aging. Staffers also harness the power of lasers to slow or eliminate hair growth, resurface the skin, or lessen the appearance of scars.

After serving in the United States Air Force for nine years, co-owner Jaymie Larsen decided to pursue a career that would allow her to reclaim her feminine side and indulge her passion for beauty. After graduating from the Euro Institute of Skin Care, she dove into a lash-extension course and knew she wanted to open a business where she could concentrate on building better blinks for eyes of all shapes and sizes.

At the same time, aesthetician and fellow Euro Institute graduate Athena Nazarian was gaining experience working as a consultant for Christian Dior and honing her skills at a Pro Sports Club spa, where she specialized in medical skincare treatments, makeup, waxing, and eyelash extensions. After opening her own lash boutique, Lashes by Athena, she soon found herself with more clients than she could handle, leading her to partner with Jaymie on a brand new venture.

Today at Eye Candy, the duo combine their attention-getting expertise to plump up lash lines with synthetic strands that are naturally curved to mimic the natural lashes. They also foster smoother skin with 30-minute Jessner peels and facial waxing, flatter features with professional makeup, and even lead lessons for makeup novices or those raised by clowns.

The trio of aestheticians at Spa Organic Boosters dedicate themselves to revitalizing clients’ appearances with technologically based procedures and premium skincare products. Their diamond-microdermabrasion treatments and resurfacing facial peels help to conceal blemishes and signs of aging by evening out skin tone. Traditional spa facials rely on botanically derived Éminence Organic Skin Care products, which nourish visages with blends of fresh fruit pulps and spices. Although their waxing services efficiently uproot stubble and leave skin smooth, the staff also offers sugaring treatments as a gentler way to remove hairs or hopelessly lost taste buds.

Over the course of three decades, Tropical Tan has expanded its sun-drenched empire into 13 locations, where beds and booths coat bodies in bronze and can provide Vitamin D through UV rays. Ergoline tanning beds mimic sunshine at levels ranging from one to five, while the Mystic Tan booth ignites subtle glows with golden mists instead of UV rays or bodysuits made of light bulbs. In addition to tanning, spa services augment natural beauty with treatments such as cellulite-fighting Formostar body wraps and red-light therapy, which helps smooth out creased skin.

In a white-trimmed house steps from Alki Beach, aesthetician Trudy Muller works to leave clients' skin feeling as fresh as a sea breeze. Beneath the facial room's shimmering chandelier, she pampers visages with Dermalogica products and organic mud from the Austrian moor, taking care to customize experiences to specific needs and comfort levels. A sunlit waxing room with a soft, white bed hosts treatments for bikini lines and eyebrows, as well as glittery vajazzling. Trudy often doles out helpful beauty tips during sessions and lets her love for educating clients spill over onto a blog full of waxing pointers and humorous musings about her work.

Trudy’s passion for beautification doesn’t stop at clients. She also believes in beautifying the planet, a value she evidences by using eco-friendly skincare products. Additionally, Trudy welcomes patrons to bring in empty product bottles for recycling, an incentive backed up by an offer of receiving 5% off their next purchase.
