Spa Day full of surprises!
Spa Day at the Senior Center of West Seattle was full of surprises including charming goodie bags for everyone to take home. Guests could sign up for a main/pedi by Washington Beauty School, hair trim by CoCo & Co., and massage by LaVida. Then for some fun you could have your palms read or your astrology sign charted. I myself enjoyed the facial by The Beauty Bar, a reiki session by West Seattle Healing Tree and had my handwriting analyzed.
