Fool House

Stylus Salon and Spa Opens

One roomie put Saran Wrap on the toilet. The other switched your straightening balm for lube. Sis called to say your ex is getting married, then Dad claimed that Buster ran away.

Pity the poor sap on April Fools’ Day.

Schedule some recovery time at Stylus, Robert Middleton and Jesus Ezcabar’s softly opened Belltown salon and spa.

A veteran of Gary Manuel, Halo, and Red, Middleton has been around the beauty block. His first solo venture doesn’t skimp on drama, with sleek walnut floors, a water wall, cloud-like treatment beds, and twinkling chandeliers.

Stylists specialize in grown-up “pretty hair,” while aestheticians stick to organic, paraben-free products by Kimberly Sayer, Susan Posnick, and Kevin Murphy. So you can have things just the way you like them.

Straight up.

Stylus Salon and Spa, 2321 Second Avenue, between Bell and Battery Streets (206-789-5871).
