First Avenue Salon & Day Spa - Shop WA (Near Ephrata)

Nicole Caldwell I loved my experience here!! I dont know how to spell the ladys name who helped me (I know, I should have asked!), but she was so nice. I told her I was looking for something to wear to an Indian wedding and she showed me all the options for skirts and how shed get matching top pieces from the back depending on which I picked out. There were not as many skirts to choose from compared to Colors of Redmond, but here there were choices that werent pure silk so I was able to spend in total less than $150 and still look very pretty, in my humble opinion, for the wedding. I got so many compliments on this really pretty royal blue top. They said I carried it well. The lady here also helped me with sizing and how the lehenga should fit. Im so happy she was there to help me, as I dont even think I would have known to buy a dupatta as well. If I couldnt find anything I liked here, I was prepared to give up and wear western formal to the South Indian wedding, which I really didnt want to do! Im so glad I didnt because it made my friends parents happy to see so many of their friends wear traditional Indian attire. Im attaching a photo of the pieces I bought and a selfie of the outfit on me on the day of the wedding. I should have bought another outfit for the ceremony itself and worn this only at the reception!! I learned for the next Indian wedding I go to.. hopefully if youre reading this, you know this already.

Gypsy Lovett Love this store! I first discovered it in Queen Anne and have followed them to their Ballard location. It offers a great, well-curated selection, at reasonable prices. The staff is always welcoming, and I often discover new brands while shopping. The size of the store is big enough to offer variety while not so big that it feels overwhelming in scale. I also enjoy donating my nicer, gently-worn clothes to this mission-driven organization as I value the non profits it supports.

Wendigo Ebta For the anime swag I love this shop

William Dentzel This is an important service and convenience for our community. The variety of items is tremendous!

Enrique Zenteno López Great place. The owner printed a T-shirt for me in a few minutes, quality of the garment and laser print is wonderful even after one year using it. Had a matching mask too.
