About Tacoma's Downtown

Embellish has become my very favorite salon. It started when I met owner Trish, @ a "Go Local" event. Trish has an infectuous enthusiams and belief in her business and although I was already quite happy with the Salon I was going to I found myself wanting to try hers.

My first trip there made me want to come back. The atmosphere is chic and hip, but not over done. It makes you feel trendy and pampered and relaxed all @ once. It is called a multi space salon since each of the areas has a specific purpose and each space is used just for that purpose. Some how this makes the experience really enjoyable and relaxing.

But forget the experience, who care about that if you get a bad cut or color.... well they passed the "cut" with flying colors. My hair is extreemly hard to cut since it is natural curl, some parts curl more than others, some parts grow faster than others and if it is cut wrong it just looks like a really bad really big fluffy mess. Top that off with the fact that most of the time even with the very most expensive of services, I lose some of my curl when I color my hair.

Guess what? I have had a perfect cut each time there and better yet, never lost a bit of curl when I got color, I swear my hair feels healthier than before it was colored each time. So I was impressed from the start. I have sent several people there now and they all love it. However I was won over when completely when they did my 2 year old's first hair cut....Trish gave her a full salon tour, asked her what she wanted and made her feel so special and on top of it gave her a great cut too. My daughter is still talking about it, I think she is client for life!

Museum of Glass.

Tacoma Museum of glass in the one place you can not miss when you see the city for the first time. It is the most unusually shaped building in the downtown. I lived in Tacoma almost three years and I have been in museum three times. The last time I visited it I was completely amazed by spiritual creative energy and the fact that the best glass artist in Italy came to Tacoma to teach his techniques.. I spent three hours inside and I didn't want to leave. The new inhibition is full of the best glass vases in the world; it is so beautiful and inspiring! If you go there, my advise to start with a theater room. It shows a short movie about an artist - Limo Tagliapietra , who is the world's greatest living glassblower artist and who's works are shown in the galleries of the museum.

The downtown Tacoma condo market remains sluggish to say the least. Another week passed with no solds and very few pendings. Buyers definitely have an advantage as condos sit, many of them vacant, looking for someone to take ownership. Prices have been reduced again and concessions are sure to be granted if buyers were to take an opportunity to purchase in the revitalized area of downtown Tacoma.
