A facial and head spa combo in Redmond, priced at exactly what the halves cost

Every facial on this menu is published with its price and, for four of the five, with the list of what actually happens to your face and in what order. You can tell an $80 booking from a $180 one before you call, instead of being quoted a figure at the desk. Two of the five run 40 minutes, one runs 70, and the two longest both run 90, which is where the real decision sits — so pick the facial first, then decide whether the scalp session goes in the same appointment.

Read the table the way you would read a recipe: count the steps, notice which ones need time to sit on the skin, and the price ladder stops looking arbitrary. Steam and a treatment mask are what fill out a 90-minute session, and a 40-minute one has room for neither.

One honest gap before you scan it. The Moisturizing Facial is listed at 70 minutes and $150 with no step list attached, so call (425) 497-9700 and ask what it covers rather than assuming it is a longer version of the deep cleanse.

Ten dollars separates the two 90-minute facials, $170 against $180, and both step lists are printed in full, so you can decide which one you want before the phone starts ringing. The Signature Facial lists eight moves: cleanse, tone, steam, face and neck massage, exfoliation, serum, treatment mask, moisturizer. Steam and the mask eat the time. Book the Signature when you want the classical shape of a long facial.

The Glass Skin Deep Hydrating Facial lists four: deep cleanse, serum infusion, LED, and a head and neck massage. Fewer steps, more equipment, a different target — saturation rather than resurfacing. It is also the only facial whose step list reaches the head at all: a head and neck massage where the Signature lists a face and neck one. That is why it is the facial the 150-minute pairing uses.

That head-and-neck section is worth the ten dollars to some people on its own. Slow hands-on work at the end of a long session sits alongside the approaches in Mayo Clinic's guide to relaxation techniques for stress management — pleasant, low-risk for most people, no medical claim attached.

• Signature Facial — $170, 90 min. Book it when you want the full sequence; steam, exfoliation and a treatment mask are on its list and not on the other.
• Glass Skin Deep Hydrating Facial — $180, 90 min. LED and serum infusion do the work here, and the head and neck massage that closes it is why this is the facial the 150-minute pairing uses.
• Moisturizing Facial — $150, 70 min. The one line the menu leaves unexplained: call before you book it, especially if 90 minutes is more than the evening allows.

Your combo runs the scalp session first and the facial second, and the menu settles that rather than the room. The 60-minute Signature ends reclined at the hydrotherapy basin with Milbon scalp care through the wash and a blow-dry to finish, so you walk into the facial room with dry hair rather than a towel on your head. Reverse the order and you would be putting a freshly cleansed face back over a basin; if you want the facial first anyway, that is a phone question. Say so on the call.

A second reason the order holds: the two halves happen in different rooms. The first is a reclining basin room; the facial is a private treatment room. You move once, in the middle, and that short walk is the only break in two and a half hours. It is also the natural moment to say whether the second half should run warmer, cooler or gentler than the first — easier said between rooms than through a towel.

Late starts are entirely normal. The studio runs 10 AM to 10 PM every day, which is what makes a 150-minute booking a weeknight proposition rather than a Saturday sacrifice; the late-hours guide covers how the evening slots stack up. Parking under the block is free, and the Overlake arrival guide has the entrance and the walk.

One last framing, because it matters more than the price. Facials and scalp work belong to the same broad family as the mind and body practices NCCIH catalogues, and NCCIH's plain-language overview of massage therapy is candid about where the research is thin. Expect a calmer evening and skin that feels looked after. Do not expect treatment for a medical condition — that conversation belongs with a clinician, before you book. And if the scalp half is the part you are least sure about, the Redmond head spa guide starts there.
