How Unique Beauty Salon Compares to Olympus Spa in Tacoma

Unique Beauty Salon publishes what it charges. Olympus Spa does not. Before any of that, the ratings: 4.9 out of 5 from 71 Google reviews for Unique Beauty Salon, 4.7 from 987 for Olympus Spa, as of October 2026.

What you are really asking

Most people comparing two Tacoma facial spas are not asking which is better in the abstract. They are asking something narrower: will this appointment be worth the money and the hour, and will I know the price before I am in the chair?

On the first half, Olympus Spa has the larger sample at 987 reviews, so its average is the more settled of the two. Unique Beauty Salon's 4.9 rests on 71 reviews, which is a smaller but still substantial base. On the second half, only one of them answers in public. A published price is a commitment. An unpublished one is not necessarily higher, but it is an unknown, and on a first visit an unknown is a cost of its own.

What actually separates them

The rating gap comes first. 4.9 against 4.7 is a 0.2-star difference, and it is built on 71 reviews versus 987. The second difference is how much each is willing to put in public. Unique Beauty Salon publishes 38 services with a price on every one. Olympus Spa publishes no menu we could find, which is less a criticism than a fact about what you can know before you walk in.

The comparison

"Not stated" below means exactly that: the claim is not made anywhere a customer could hold them to it. It is not an accusation, and it may simply mean the information lives on a wall inside the business.

Where Olympus Spa still shines

987 reviews is a real customer base, not a thin listing, and a facial spa does not reach that number without regulars who keep coming back. A 4.7 average also hides a distribution: plenty of those reviews are five stars. If you already have someone there who knows your preferences, nothing above is a reason to switch. Nothing here is a criticism of the business.

Where they overlap

Both are facial spas serving Tacoma, both appear in Google's local results for the category, and both have enough reviews behind them that neither rating is guesswork. Either will do the core service you are booking. If you live between the two, distance is not the deciding factor.

Where Unique Beauty Salon does not lead

Unique Beauty Salon is not the highest-rated facial spa in Tacoma. The Tacoma Facialist sits ahead on average score with 5 stars from 17 reviews. The case for Unique Beauty Salon is not that nothing beats it. It is that it leads Olympus Spa on the measures above and publishes what it charges.

Which to book

If you want the most evidence before booking, Unique Beauty Salon gives you more to go on: a higher rating, a published price for all 38 services, and online booking. If you already have a trusted regular at Olympus Spa, stay. If you are choosing cold and price matters, only one of them will tell you the price before you arrive.
