Great place! Awesome, friendly, & professional staff (cute dog is added bonus). Got a haircut that works w/ my curly hair, a facial that wasn't painful , a massage (almost fell asleep), & a pedicure that was awesome as always. No fail, win-win, every time

The staff was very friendly. The salon was clean, smelled lovely, and a very welcoming atmosphere. My massage was so relaxing and my haircut was great. The owners were in and were very nice. I will definitely be back for both a massage and a haircut. I may even get a pedicure or facial sometime! Definitely recommend.

I had the pleasure of going to Zazen to get my hair colored! They did such an amazing job on my hair and because I rarely do anything to my hair the stylist Amanda walked me through the entire process and that was very helpful for me. I do plan on becoming a regular and I would recommend them to all my friends and family!

I am extremely happy with my experience at Zazen. Amanda did such an amazing job on my hair cut. I am always super nervous when I get a new haircut but she cut off 6 inches and I couldn't be happier with the look! She did exactly as I told her to, which is something that is very important to me when I am getting a haircut. I recommend Zazen for a awesome haircut to any women who are looking for a good salon to go to! Very reasonable prices as well.

Amanda and Sarah did great work during my wedding trial run. One less thing to stress over knowing myself and my bridal party will be taken care of by the stylists on the day of.

I went here with my two adult daughters and my 90 year old mom to celebrate her birthday. We had manicures, a facial, and a make up appointment. All of these services were great. The most important thing though to me was how they treated my mom for her birthday. They were so patient and made her feel very included and special. I would highly recommend their services.

First off, the lady who did my nails was very, very lovely. But it was THE WORST HAIRCUT I've ever had. I sat in my car and cried after leaving. I'm not sure what the girl did, or why she did it. But it couldn't have been further from what I asked for. She also turned me away from the mirror so I couldn't see what she was doing and was reluctant to show me during the process.

She also seemed shaky and unsure of herself, and I should have know better than to let her continue. I asked for some long bangs and a trim and left with short, uneven bangs and a mullet. I had to go to another salon and pay for another hair cut to get it as fixed as I could but it took pretty much chopping off my long hair to undo the damage. I'm also in the service industry and try my best to be positive, I know it can be a rough workplace and customers can be difficult. But this was just awful. I would definitely not recommend coming here to have your hair done.

I cannot recommend Zazen enough! Had couples deluxe pedicures with Maya and Roslyn and they were both terrific! This place is a full service salon right by the water.we intend to use all their services at some point. Loved the atmosphere A little pricey but we are retired and not traveling at this time so this is our guilty pleasure

I went to Zazen a few weeks ago and I saw Miah. I'm super impressed with her work. I came in to get a bleach and tone, my hair looked horrible before I came in as I had previously put black box dye on my hair and wanting to go copper, I tried to do it myself. Anyway I love my hair and I highly recommend this salon and especially Miah. I added some before and afters

With the new ownership I noticed a huge difference. The receptionists know how to address clients and are super nice and professional. I've been going there now for months after moving from OC CA. Veronica is the best for lashes. They stay on for weeks! Have had mani pedi as well and they are all good. Had a massage and I slept so well for the first time in weeks.

The place is clean and immaculate. Barbara is great as well for cuts and blow outs. I started going to Sara now because she knows hair extensions. I've had mine retaped several times and she is good on the tape placements. She's done my color as well. I go almost weekly to get my wash and blow outs. Believe me if you have hair extensions it's worth having someone else wash and style it for you.

I definitely recommend this salon. You won't be disappointed. My biggest fear after moving to WA is not finding the right stylist since I've been going to the same person for 15 years. But now I've found it!

Amazing customer service! This is the only place I will trust my hair with! They also have amazing massage therapists and amazing facials! Have I mentioned their pedicures? To die for!

I got a partial foil here a couple months ago. The consultation was good, price was reasonable, and I initially liked the result, but I've found it incredibly damaged my hair. I do not use heat tools and my hair was not previously dyed, yet every time I wash it my hair gets matted and breaks off. It requires intense detangling. I've used several methods of hydration and nothing has helped. I regret trusting this salon with my hair.

Would not recommend getting your lash extensions (or fills) done here. Amanda, the lash technician scratched my eye multiple times leaving it red, irritated and painful. :( I have had lash extensions for years with different technicians and have never had a lash tech continuously pull and pinch the area around the base of the lash.

Not the most professional place at all. Staff doesn't act kind or friendly. Negative environment. Don't recommend.

Booked a pedicure and massage. Both services were good but the desk didn't inform me that my appointments had over an hour in between them, I was told they would be back to back. They offered me use of the sauna in between appointments while I waited, but didn't tell me they were going to charge me $20 for it. I was never told, I only saw it once I reviewed my receipt to see why my total was higher.

I didn't ask for the sauna, and previously I've never been charged for use of the sauna when I've booked multiple services. They also tacked on $5 for each service for cleaning fees, I'm fine with that, but the person who booked my appointment should have disclosed the extra fees. As I said, the services were fine but feel like I was overcharged and not informed of the additional costs.

My mother and I went to Zazen today for the first time. We both received a massage, facials and I had a mani/pedi and she had a hair cut. All I can say is I cannot recommend Zazen enough. I enjoyed every single second being there! All of the staff were wonderful, the massage was absolutely heavenly, the mani/pedi was great, my mother was extremely happy with her hair cut and we both loved our facials. Wim who did both of our massages did an amazing job.

Our massages were everything we expected and more. He was very attentive, respectful and listened to our requests for focus areas and pressure. Veronica gave a great facial and we both are going to request her for future appointments! We received complementary wine while we were there and the staff was very attentive and made us feel extremely comfortable. Thank you so much to everyone at Zazen today for a wonderful experience!

Madison was great! I had a 60 Swedish massage with her and her pressure was good the entire time, the oil she used smelled good and the room was very clean. I had never had a massage before and Madison explained everything and made sure that it felt good as the massage progressed. I will definitely be back!

I had a really amazing pedicure with Kaya! We had read some wonderful things about Zazen. It's tucked away amidst a hotel and shopping center on a lovely peninsula, but didn't look much like a spa when we walked in, more like a small salon. However, once Kaya got started, it was clear that I had underestimated the place on my first impression.

She gave the best exfoliating massage I've ever had, and attended meticulously to every other aspect of the pedicure over the hour - best pedicure I've ever had! Worth the drive from Seattle. Thanks, Kaya!

The ladies at the front desk were kind and helpful and the salon is quite clean. My manicure was not very good. The polish was old (bubbled, thick) and though I mentioned this to the stylist, she kept applying polish. She also kept looking at the clock. This was 5pm Friday night. By 9pm Friday night, the polish was bad. So I took it off but there left a reddish/orange on my nails.

The next day they took me in and the lady buffed my nails. I only wanted clear polish but I think she put on top coat because on Sunday all the clear top coat was coming off.

Very disappointed in reservation being on wrong day. We arrived from out of town to be told our reservation was listed for the next day. We are only in town for one day to celebrate massages for a birthday.

This salon really bailed me out by booking an appointment with me for my wedding hair and make-up when the Blessings cancelled on me less than 48 hours before my big day! Eileen (I think that was her name!) did a great job, was very friendly and professional, and despite my anxiety about feeling my makeup was a little heavy, my photographs turned out beautifully just as she assured me they would! Thank you Zazen!

I am a college student, so I have to work within a budget. I was able to make an appointment at Zazen because Cher handed out complimentary hair cut cards. I knew I liked her immediately once I met her. She is very kind and talkative. I am a novice when it comes to all things hair care. Cher made sure every cut she made she explained to where and why she was doing it.

I have grown up with thick hair, I was nervous about getting my hair cut short again. But she knew what she was doing, she is a senior stylist and it showed in her work. She was able to cut my hair short, and keep it thin. I will definitely be coming back for Cher!

This place is alright - one of the only places in Bellingham that does a decent job on everything. A little over priced in my opinion. The outcome of the services I receive are never worth the money I spend.

I have been taking my daughter to the same stylist for 13 years, we had free time today but my go gal was booked we had the time so I decided it had to be done. So I called Zazen and luckily we got her an appointment. We got a stylist named Emily, she was fantastic, she took her time brushing out my daughters hair and talked to her about she wanted done with her hair.

She did exactly what my daughter wanted. My girl after said that she loved the way Emily washed her hair, it was so relaxing. She also loved the fact that she didn't talk her ear off. she was quite and that was relaxing for her. We left happy with the service and with another appointment in 6 weeks.

I was dropped of here for a surprise massage and mani pedi. This place was so welcoming, as soon as I walked through the doors I was walked to the locker room that had a calming affect and multiple amenities. After slipping into a fuzzy robe you're welcomed to a display of teas and treats while you're waiting and a sauna provided with any treatment. Their team is fun, professional, and go above and beyond. Highly recommend

I had an amazing experience with Ann. The swedish massage was absolutely wonderful from start to finish--she focused on my tension spots and was professional throughout. She asked which oil I preferred and checked in with me about the pressure. Room was dim and relaxing with calming music. The foot buff treatment was a great addition. It was gentle, yet it did the trick.

I came out feeling refreshed and renewed. I'll definitely be returning in the future. Zazen has a tranquil atmosphere. I loved the locker room with its assortment of skin and hair products. The sauna was perfect after the massage. I lucked out with a morning appointment--the place was empty so it was really peaceful.

Don't even bother going here! Went with a friend for the pedi/mani spa birthday gift. The front desk gal didn't smile or acknowledge us. When we left to check out there was a new front desk gal and again, no smile or thank you or come again. The nail polish was bubbled up. There was polish left all around the nail beds. The polish came off the very next day! Not impressed!
