Aapka Spa at 14701 NE 20th St. in Bellevue has a new owner and will reopen under a different name.
Cosmetologist Elisha Chauhan recently purchased the salon. She told What Now Seattle that she plans to change its name and expects to reopen in the first week of November.
Chauhan has not disclosed the new name or shared a final list of services. In a social media post, she said the Bellevue salon would have expanded services and a growing team. She also said appointments would open soon.
The current Aapka Spa website lists threading, body waxing, facials, makeup, women’s haircuts, and massage. Chauhan’s booking page lists color services, haircuts, treatments, makeup, heat styling, and training. She has not said which services from either business will be available in Bellevue after the transition.
The purchase brings Chauhan back to the city where she began her cosmetology career. She attended Evergreen Beauty College in Bellevue, rented her first salon booth there, and later established her existing business in Bothell.
Chauhan said the Bothell location, inside Phenix Salon Suites at 22627 Bothell Everett Highway, will remain open. She plans to divide her schedule between Bothell and Bellevue, giving clients a choice between the two locations.
