Day 29 of 365 Things To Do Around the Eastside: Get Ready for Summer Visit Rock Star Tan Bar

After the past 8 months of cloud and rain I really ready for sunshine. Until then, I am going to Rock Star Tan Bar in Kirkland.

It’s a total fun and cool place to hang out. They have lots of high pressure beds, spray tanning and even a hydration station!

I haven’t had to wait for more than 5 minutes for a bed and most days I don’t have a wait at all. At Rock Star Tan Bar you can purchase a single tan to a package of tans or even unlimited tanning by the month. They also off some pretty amazing lotions and tan accelerators.

Most of the beds that they have are high pressure, which means that you get a dark deep tan in just a few minutes. The whole reason to go tanning is to look good and feel better. I don’t know why, but I get more relaxation in 15 minutes of tanning than almost anything else I do.

It is best to BYOT – Bring Your Own Tunes. While they do have stereos in each room – it’s just easier to have your own iPod to Rock out with.

Good Location, Good Beds, Friendly Staff and Clean are what you get at Rock Star Tan Bar.

Day 28 of 365 Things To Do Around the Eastside: Haircut at The Shop

The only place I go to get my haircut is at The Shop in Downtown Kirkland. For some reason I always end up calling it The Head Shop, but nope it’s just The Shop.

I have been going there for years and years. I don’t even know how I found it, but I am glad I did. The Shop now has 6 locations, I think that the Downtown Kirkland might have been the 1^st, but not positive.

It has a great vibe to it. There are posters all over the walls & ceilings. They play good music and give away lollipops!

Every haircut I have ever gotten at The Shop has been great. I have had Foils, Colors, Bleaching and even a couple Camos. Hair is an accessory – play with it, have fun with it and try new things. That’s why I visit The Shop.

I go in and no matter who is working I just tell them to do something FUN, DIFFERENT, WILD.

Everyone there is awesome – it is a fun, relaxing atmosphere and you will leave looking MUCH better than when you went in.

They offer an incredible Shampoo/Scalp Massage (Kim is the BEST at it), they DON’T take appointments (you can call 30 minutes ahead to get your name on the wait list) and they are always busy.

The other reason I keep going back is the price – I can go in and get a complete buzz for $10 or a fun cut for $18 (girls are slightly more). Camo was $25 I think. Anyways SUPER affordable and a great cut!
