The Best Hair Salons, Barbers & Spas in Downtown Bellevue.
From a two-chair barbershop that has been cutting hair on Main Street since 1947 to a hydrotherapy spa, a luxury head spa and a Drybar tucked inside Nordstrom, here is every salon, barber, spa, nail bar and lash studio we could verify open downtown, with how to book and where to park.
The last time we published a salon list for downtown Bellevue, it was 2009 and it fit in a sixteen-row table. Thirteen of those salons are now listed as closed. Obadiah, Seven, Paule Attar and Mia & Maxx have all closed, and Gene Juarez moved from the old Galleria to The Bravern. What grew up in their place is a much broader beauty neighborhood: color specialists in new apartment buildings, a Japanese-style head spa, a Chinese bathhouse-inspired spa with hot and cool pools, suite buildings full of independent stylists, and a Nordstrom beauty floor where you can book a blowout, lashes, brows and a manicure in one trip.
This guide covers all of it: hair salons, barbershops, day and hotel spas, head spas, nail salons and lash, brow and skin studios. Every business was checked against its own website in September 2026. Where a business publishes prices, we note a starting point, and we tell you how each one books (some are strictly walk-in, some appointment only) and where to park. We left out medical spas and injectables; those are a different kind of appointment.

The strengths are blonding and full highlights, blowouts, extensions and Brazilian smoothing treatments. An esthetician on site handles lash lifts, tints and skincare, and the shelves carry Oribe and R+Co.

Refine Beauty Salon
Downtown’s newest full-service salon opened December 1, 2025 at Avenue Bellevue. Owner Kieu Hoang Jorza has worked in beauty since 1998 and runs sister salons in Seattle. What sets Refine apart is range. Along with color and balayage, it does textured-hair services (Cezanne smoothing, relaxers, thermal press), weaves and extensions, updos, and a full nail menu from Gel-X to builder overlays.

Barbershops
A 1947 walk-in shop, the Seahawks’ barber and a few stops in between.
Bellevue Barber Shop
Ward Russell opened this shop in 1947, his brother Norm joined in 1952, and today Ward’s grandsons Kurt Hester and Todd Russell run it. It’s a small Main Street barbershop, two chairs plus a third barber, that does haircuts, buzz cuts, kids’ cuts, beard trims and shaves, and keeps a collection of Bellevue High School yearbooks. There are no appointments: you walk in and wait your turn. It’s the closest thing downtown has to a living landmark.
- Strictly walk-in; the shop doesn’t take appointments
- Kids’ cuts and shaves on the menu
Weldon Barber
Weldon’s flagship opened on Main Street in September 2017. Its staff of barbers and master barbers are known for handling a wide range of hair textures and ethnic styles, and it does men’s and kids’ cuts, beard work and shaves. Book an appointment online, or take your chances as a walk-in.
- Appointments online; walk-in service is available
- Kids’ cuts and beard and shave services
On The Mark
Mark Jacob Baysinger founded On The Mark in 2004, moved to Seattle in 2012 and became the primary stylist for many Seattle Seahawks players. His Bellevue Place shop keeps that game-day polish.

- Book online
- Services with Mark cost more than with the rest of the team
Bishops Cuts/Color
The Portland-born chain (founded 2001) prices by time, technique and hair length rather than gender. It’s a relaxed, music-forward shop with free drinks that does short and long cuts, buzzes and skin fades, grey blending and vivid color, deluxe shaves and kids’ first haircuts. It’s walk-in friendly, and it offers a 7-day window if something needs fixing.
- Walk-ins welcome; book color ahead online or in the app
- Buzz cuts from $35
- Free consultations; 7-day fix window
Uppercuts Barbershop
Bellevue-raised brothers Noor and MJ Kiswani opened Uppercuts in October 2021 in the Main Street strip center shared with Toshi’s Teriyaki and Broiler Bay. It’s a neighborhood shop for men’s cuts and beard trims, with walk-ins welcome and online booking if you’d rather not wait.
- Walk-ins welcome; online booking available
Capelli’s Gentlemen’s Barbershop
Seattle’s Capelli’s has groomed men since 2003, and its Bellevue shop sits in the Civica Commons lobby behind the big fireplace. That makes it an easy lunch-hour cut for anyone working in the office core. It does haircuts, shaves and scalp massages, and it keeps weekday hours, so plan accordingly.
- Appointments recommended: online, in the Capelli’s app or by phone
- Weekday hours only; check the site
Also Downtown
Black Shears Mens Lounge
Owner Antonina trained at Gene Juarez and spent years at Weldon Barber before opening her own appointment-based men’s lounge for cuts, beard trims and waxing.
Official site →Day Spas & Head Spas
A hydrotherapy circuit, a hotel spa, an efficient everyday spa and Bellevue’s first luxury head spa.
Yuan Spa
Yuan’s original location, at the base of the Belcarra building, is inspired by Chinese bathing traditions, and its hydrotherapy circuit is unlike anything else downtown. You move between a hot pool (100 to 105°F), a cool pool, a salt bar and eucalyptus steam room, a cold drench shower and a cedar chromatherapy sauna, spending five to ten minutes at each. The full menu adds massage (hot stone, Thai table, Lomi Lomi, prenatal and couples), facials and HydraFacials, body wraps, cupping and gua sha, a Hair and Scalp Therapy, waxing and nails.
- Hydrotherapy is a separate one-hour reservation, not included with treatments: $69, or $35 when paired with a qualifying same-day service
- Circuit is co-ed and 18+, swimsuit required, no phones past the locker rooms
- Card or cash only (no Apple Pay); 3 hours of free Belcarra garage parking, limited
TRUCE Spa
On the Westin’s fourth floor at Lincoln Square, TRUCE starts every visit with a small ritual: you light a personal candle to mark a truce with yourself. After that come massage (including couples), Eminence facials, body treatments, waxing and tinting, and nail care in a dedicated quiet nail area. Showers, lockers, robes, a candle-lit lounge and an infrared sauna wrap make it a real half-day escape, and you can order food from the hotel. You don’t need to be a hotel guest.
- Book online, or call or text
- Open daily except major holidays; check the site
- Spa parties, packages and a VIP membership
Recoop Spa
The AAPI- and woman-owned Recoop is built for regular upkeep rather than special occasions. There’s the signature “Ultimoot” massage, deep tissue, sports and prenatal work, oxygen facials, body scrubs, brow lamination and waxing, lash lifts and extensions, express manicures and pedicures, and a 30-minute Revitalization Scalp Therapy with warm botanical oil. It’s a practical choice if you want to fit a treatment into a workday, and laptops are allowed in the nail studio and relaxation room with the volume muted.

Joon is the exclusive carrier of Milbon professional products, and there are three treatment tiers: Essential, Signature and Luxe.
