I come to Habitude for pedicures, massages, and haircuts as I live in Ballard. I think it's a great salon. The customer service is subpar, but I've received some great massages and pedicures here! The only problem is the noise upstairs. There are signs all over that say, "quiet please, pampering in progress" but it sure as hell ain't quiet. I am a quiet person as it is, so when I go to a spa I want complete silence and relaxation. It's mainly a problem when you're getting a pedi/mani or just waiting for your massage to begin. At any rate, it ain't cool and I actually haven't been back for a while because of this....
Pros: Ambience, nuts/fruits upstairs, products
Cons: NOISE!!!!!

First, I am a HUGE Aveda fan. I love the products. I have been to many salons, and this (today) was my first time at Habitude. I went for wax (facial hair is not attractive) and a hair trim. The outside appearance of the salon/spa was well-kept, well lit, and well signed. I arrived at 7:30 when my appointment was, and I can see that if I had booked earlier in the day, traffic wouldn't have been as accommodating, so I would recommend arriving early to find parking anytime you go (you only need 10 minutes or so to find parking, although I found parking right away).The interior was well-kept, bright, and well-laid out. I enjoyed the fact that the salon itself was decorated in a trendy fashion, but not so over-the-top you could feel out-of-place. The wax was done quickly, as most waxes are, as well as thoroughly. I then had my hair trimmed, and the hair dresser followed my instructions to the letter. She was one of the newest hairdressers, and she still did very well. Overall, I had a positive experience and I was very pleased. I would recommend this salon to friends and family.
