Trick or Treat

Treat Salon & Threads

Soon the day will be upon us: Becostumed children will ring our doorbells and demand treats. And we will oblige.

But what about us? Where’s our treat?

It’s on Fillmore Street in Lower Pac Heights at Treat Salon & Threads. Yes, it’s the same space that used to be just an Aveda salon, but now it’s a boutique, too.

Racks are filled with adorable pieces by Tree, Inhabit, Wyeth, Rachel Pally, Sharon Segal, Stitches, S Collection, and Castle. Ogle jewelry by Chan Luu and Lena Wald — and have your tresses trimmed while you’re at it.

The back is still an insanely chill salon and spa (okay, mini spa: There’s only one room). Every treatment (including waxes) begins with a foot soak, hand and foot rub, head, neck, and shoulder massage, and a makeup application. You’re sure to leave looking picture-perfect, head to toe.

A treat, indeed.

And the only tricks are of the beauty variety.

Treat Salon & Threads, 1928 Fillmore Street, between Pine and Bush Streets (415-567-0166).
