Editorial Review for Pelage Spa & Skin Centre – by Renae Martin
The Scene
Outside, it's quaint Gilman Village; inside it's feminine opulence, with faux marble floors, plaster columns, dried floral arrangements and delicate Victorian furniture. Estheticians in crisp white lab coats and massage therapists quietly greet guests, guiding them to a tiny locker room stocked with plush cotton robes, sandals and hairstyling products. After treatments, guests are handed bottled water, gently ushered out of the dimly lit, mint-green rooms and directed toward the sauna.
The Services
A hot-stone massage kneads, smooths and warms the tension from knotted muscles. Skilled therapists slip heated basalt stones between toes, on eyes and under the back with such skill and ease that the whole thing seems natural. Along with facials, waxings and body therapies, certified staff also offer lymphatic drainage, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and permanent cosmetics.
The Details
Dry sauna. Massage, body treatments, wet treatments, facials, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, full-service salon.

I purchased the Pelage Beauty Card (for $150.00) in late 2007. The card includes 15 brow treatments (priced at $15.00 per treatment), 10% off of all other services and 15% off all products. I found this to be a great deal. However, upon my last visit (in April), my technician indicated that my Beauty Card only included 12 brown treatments. Either I was misinformed, or my waxer was uninformed. I have mixed feelings about the atmosphere of the spa. I have found both the waxing rooms and the facial room to meet my expectations for a spa experience. Both rooms have been clean and relaxing and I have not been able to hear outside conversations or noise while having a facial. However, I do find the lobby to be claustrophobic. It is filled with products (as expected), but also with trinkets, jewelry and other miscellaneous items. The staff has always been accommodating and friendly. I have never been kept waiting beyond my appointment time. As with most businesses, (remember, spas are businesses), I have felt “pressured” to purchase products. I have also felt pressured by my brow waxer to sign up for her facial treatments. I do enjoy her facials, but would rather not have her ask when I’m planning on making my next appointment. Pelage does carry a select group of products, including Phytomer. This brand is difficult to locate (even online) and their in-store prices are very similar to all online prices. Plus, with the 15% discount offered with Beauty Card members, the products are a good deal. Ultimately, I do enjoy the spa. I live in Issaquah, so it is convenient for me to arrange my appointments. The treatments are what you would expect and they do have a nice variety of beauty products. I also like the fact that I’m supporting an independent local-based company and not some massive corporation (i.e. Gene Juarez). I would prefer to feel less pressured to try products and additional services.

Pelage is TRULY the worst place ever. I won't even call it a spa. They dare to call it a spa yet it is the most un-spa place I have ever seen. They seem more interested in selling you over-priced hand lotion and jewelry in their lobby than providing a relaxing "spa" experience. The owner Joanne is appalling. She has an "I'm better than you" approach and is extremely offensive. She pretends to be knowledgeable but she has a bad reputation and is known around the area for providing pseudo-science treatments, weight loss programs based on supplements she and her employees sell, and substandard overpriced treatments she dares to call "spa treatments". All their services are of the poorest quality yet their prices are exorbitant! I've had several treatments and disappointing massages. Their beauty treatments including laser hair removal don't work. Their massage areas are noisy and the rooms make you feel claustorphobic. I will take my business elsewhere and never recommend them! If you want relaxation and a spa-like experience, Pelage isn't the place to go.
Cons: poor value, bad atmosphere, disreputable owner
