About

High Maintenance opened in 2002 in a space that was once a speakeasy. Founder Naomi Lewis opened it after working in high-end skin care salons. The studio says it has a long-standing reputation with a selective, dedicated clientele, and it points to coverage of its skincare services in Allure, Lucky, Seattle Metropolitan, The Seattle Times and American Spa.

The studio is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 7pm, with Saturday visits by appointment only. Cancellations and reschedules need at least 24 hours notice to avoid a cancellation fee.

Facials run from the 50-minute Back Support to the 75-minute Detox, with Renew, Purify and Brilliance in between. Flash peels, microdermabrasion and waxing round out the menu, and makeup touch-ups are free after any skincare service. Gift certificates can be bought at the studio or by phone, and product orders can be placed by phone. Products can be exchanged or taken as store credit within 15 days of purchase.

Waxing begins with a soothing oil barrier, followed by a lavender and azulene infused hard wax applied by trained estheticians. Soft wax is infused with chamomile and gold purified platelets, and services marked (G) use gold strip wax. The studio says its waxing is comfortable and does not need to be painful.

Guides clients toward their own radiance through guidance and compassion.
