Where is the Best Sauna in Portland, Oregon?
My search for an incredible and perfect hair stylist is finally over!! Heather is absolutely the answer I have been waiting for. You guys, she is an angel sent from heaven!!!! I have been to way too many hair stylists and salons (seriously, it’s embarrassing to share all the places and people I have been to in order to find Heather) only to be disappointed. All my haircuts in the past have either been terrible, mediocre, or just something that I am not wowed by. You know those people you see walking down the street and you want to just stop and ask them where they get their hair done? Well….thanks to the lovely Heather, I am now one of those people! I have NEVER been one those people until I went to Heather! It’s not only that other people notice my fabulous hair, but I feel like a movie star now. After years of ‘nothing-special’ kind of haircuts, I was so ready to feel movie star like! Nothing beats when you feel amazing because of a haircut! Heather listens and spends so much time
10th Ave is in a class of its own. Hate the atmosphere of Bally’s or 24Hr? Come here…seriously. I did the 24Hr thing and it failed me – unfriendly staff, prissy atmosphere, and not a single locker to rent to keep my stuff in.I came to 10th Ave because I wanted to find a place that was smaller yet still had a breadth of equipment…and somewhere where I could keep my things in a locker overnight! It’s a great atmosphere to work out in – no pretentiousness – just genuine people who are there to get their hearts beating a bit faster and to maybe shed a few pounds. Trainers are around all the time if you have a quick question…and they’ll even say hi to you (even if they don’t know you!) This is the only place I’ve felt like I’ve been able to be ‘myself’ and workout. No guilty feelings for being overweight. Just a darn good gym.Pros + Regular people, friendly staff, rentable lockers!Cons – Trainer groups sometimes take up too much room
Everything about this place is perfect. It has it’s own small parking lot so you don’t have to deal with the headache of street parking. Upon entering there’s a small but cozy reception area and waiting room that offers tea and water for free. The receptionists are sweet, calming, and explain everything in a comforting way. Having never been there before they led us back and showed us everything. There’s a beautiful changing area with large and small cubbies to hold your belongings. The sink area has some wonderful decor and a water cooler with cups. The shower area is open and has 4 shower heads and foaming shower gel in a lovely tiled room. It was the most relaxing shower I’ve ever had. The sauna smells beautifully of cedar and is kept at just the right temperature. Normally I feel overheated and uncomfortable in them but I had a blissful experience in this one.The tub outside is a genius design in the shape of a “C” so that there are two effective sections allowing you t
