SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 24, 2026 — Gene Juarez Salons & Spas, the Pacific Northwest's premier luxury hair salon and spa destination, celebrates its 55th anniversary this October.

55 Years of Community & Growth

Over the past three years alone, gene Juarez has opened four new Washington locations, expanded into wellness services and caried its artistry into Eastern Washington with a Spokane salon at River Park Square. Fifty-five years in, the band's presence now touches communities from Seattle to South Sound to Spokane. That growth reflects a commitment to accessible luxury across the state.

Our CEO, Lyndie Moore of Gene Juarez:

“Fifty-five years is a milestone we don’t take lightly. Every location we’ve opened and every partnership we’ve built comes back to the same idea Gene had in 1971 — guests deserve real expertise and real hospitality. University Village is where a lot of this story started, so it’s the right place to say thank you.”
