Our Story

Meet the Lumiere Family

A passionate team of artists and healers dedicated to making every client feel extraordinary from the moment they walk through our doors.

How It All Began

From a Dream to Seattle's Premier Spa

Lumiere Salon & Spa was born in 2016 from founder Isabelle Fontaine's vision of a space where luxury beauty and genuine wellness could coexist. After 12 years working in high-end salons in Paris and New York, Isabelle moved to Seattle with one ambition: to create a sanctuary where every client felt truly seen, heard, and transformed.

Starting with just three chairs on Pike Place, Isabelle hand-picked a team of specialists who shared her ethos — mastery, kindness, and an obsession with results. The waiting list began before the doors even opened.

Today, Lumiere operates from our full-service salon and spa suite with 10 specialists, a dedicated massage suite, two esthetic rooms, and a nail lounge. We've served over 5,000 clients and are consistently ranked among Seattle's top-rated beauty destinations.

We create a genuinely welcoming space where all are celebrated. Our salon is a judgement-free zone where you can relax, be yourself, and leave feeling more radiant than when you arrived.
