Gene Juarez Salons & Spas to Open July 21 in Seattle’s University Village

its growth and industry leadership

SEATTLE–(EMWNews)–Gene Juarez Salons & Spas announced today that its forthcoming full

service salon and spa located in Seattle’s

University Village shopping center will open July 21.

Construction commenced in February on the 8,500-square-foot space

that will be the company’s ninth salon and

spa, situated in the north building next to Crate & Barrel and within

close proximity to fashion retailer H&M.

The salon and spa at University Village is considered the company’s

third flagship location, joining the ranks alongside the salons and spas

in Downtown Seattle (14,500 square feet) and Bellevue (24,000 square

feet). The new Gene Juarez will officially reside at 2684 NE 49th

Street, Seattle, WA, 98105. The salon and spa phone number is (206)

522-4700. Hours of operation will be Monday –

Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m.

to 7 p.m.

Designed by Judith Testani of Testani Design Troupe and structurally

executed by Riccardo Cattapan of CMD Architects, the new location

features a contemporary, sophisticated design that conveys warmth and a

subtle nod to the company’s Pacific Northwest

heritage. Deep red accent walls contrasted with finishes of light wood,

a lobby fireplace, and a large backlit custom-designed, hand-cut onyx

feature wall at the entry area creates a modern yet comfortable space to

indulge, relax and rejuvenate.

The hair salon will be of typical scale found in other Gene Juarez

Salons & Spas, offering 22 design stations at which guests

will receive couture haircuts from some of the industry’s

most highly trained Artists, and 20 color stations where guests

are treated to expertly-delivered color services, including all over

color, highlighting, corrective color, and the advanced French

highlighting technique of Balayage, which Gene Juarez was first in the

region to employ. Every hair appointment starts with a visit to the

luxurious Kérastase Shampoo Spa –

a unique area of the salon where 700 hand-crafted glass spheres descend

from the ceiling to spectacular effect. At the Kérastase

Shampoo Spa, hair is bathed in the finest blend of the highest quality

ingredients, prescribed specifically for hair type and current

condition. Gene Juarez has an exclusive partnership in western

Washington with the luxury haircare brand.

The spa will distinctly showcase high quality spa rooms with

luxuriously appointed guest waiting and changing spaces for women and

men. A spa lounge with a fireplace sets the tone for relaxation, and

serves as a gateway to the spa’s five

treatment rooms where guests can experience the all-natural ARCONA

skin care line during a Gene Juarez Signature Revitalizing Facial.

Guests looking for the ultimate indulgence will delight in the spa’s

balance of both traditional and specialty massages and body treatments

such as the Gene Juarez Ayurvedic services, based on an ancient Indian

art of well being. The nail spa will offer the Gene Juarez

signature pedicure suite experience with two private pedicure suites,

and an open-view gallery of manicure-pedicure stations, including three

dedicated pedicure stations and four manicure stations.

Unlike other new Gene Juarez Salons and Spas to date, this spa will

offer microdermabrasion skin services beginning on opening day. A retail

boutique stocked with beauty essentials will showcase a new line

of Gene Juarez brand body care products.

Underscoring its presence in the community as a generous supporter of

charitable events and organizations, Gene Juarez Salons & Spas is proud

to partner with the Rewards & Recognition department at Children’s

Hospital. Through its partnership with Children’s,

the University Village salon and spa will offer “Be

Beautiful” beauty packages to deserving

hospital staff members who demonstrate admirable qualities in their

approach to caring for patients and respecting their roles in supporting

the hospital’s mission.

“Establishing our third flagship location at University Village

demonstrates Gene Juarez Salons & Spas’

continued growth in this region,” said Janet

Denyer, Gene Juarez Salons & Spas chief executive officer. “Because

of the hard work of our team and business partners, our guests can

experience the newest iteration of Gene Juarez Salons & Spas through our

fabulous new location at one of our region’s

most exciting upscale retail destinations –

and even earlier than originally estimated.”

University Village Gene Juarez Salon & Spa General Manager

Angelina Provenzano is excited by the opportunity to establish the

ninth Gene Juarez salon and spa in its new home: “I’m

thrilled to help establish our University Village location. After

supporting the successful renovation and re-opening of our Northgate

salon and spa last fall, I am prepared to inspire my talented team to

offer the highest levels of expertise and service that are hallmarks of

Gene Juarez Salon & Spa.

The team at University Village expressed similar enthusiasm at the salon

and spa’s early arrival.

“Gene Juarez Salon & Spa is a complementary

addition to University Village’s mix of

quality retailers,” said Susie Plummer,

general manager of University Village. “The

company’s outstanding reputation and

leadership in its field make it a natural fit for our center and our

customers. We are pleased that Gene Juarez will open in July, in time

for the summer shopping months.”

Through a phased hiring schedule, the salon and spa will ultimately

employ 130 people through a combination of Artists, Therapists,

management and administrative staff. Two entrances –

one accessible via the University Village parking garage (level A/B) –

enables quick entrance and exit for guests on the go. And, another

entrance brings guests shopping at University Village to the salon and

spa via a short escalator ride adjacent to Crate and Barrel.
