Blu Bamboo Salon & Spa

I had a wonderful massage by Kim while staying in Marathon on vacation. There was 3 of us that wanted to come in at the same time and they were very accommodating. Very relaxing time. Would definitely go back if I’m in the area. The other 2 ladies said they both had a wonderful experience as well. Highly recommend you book a massage at the Blu Bamboo and do something good for your soul.

I called at 11:00 and was able to be squeezed in later that day for a massage and pedicure. I am so happy they were able to accommodate my last minute appointment!
My massage with Kim was very therapeutic both physically and mentally. She listened to my needs and made recommendations based on the information I provided. I truly feel my time with her was exactly what I needed! She explained the therapy she was doing and how to find someone in my area with her training. I wish there was a way to come see her once a month!
Dee finished my time there with a pedicure. She was delightful to chat with! My feel look wonderful after the last five days running around the beach and swimming in the ocean!
Blu Bamboo is a must stop while playing in the Keys for a little maintenance! I was pleasantly surprised with their 5 star accommodations in a little beach resort community. You will certainly feel like you are back on the main land once you step in! You won’t be disappointed!

Love the salon, they are efficient, friendly and very helpful. Jamie Ekblom does my hair, she is amazing! I love her work, she educates you on your hair, what to use and what not to use. She always suggest the right things and color! I trust her completely!

Called to see if I could get a last minute massage and the owner, Cindy, went out of her way to get a therapist there within the hour. She was polite and extremely welcoming. Marisa was my therapist and she was great. She made me feel comfortable and did a great job on the tough areas. My experience was more than enjoyable and I would definitely go back when in the keys.

I’ve been going to Blu bamboo for about 3 years or so and every time I do I come out so happy and so relaxed. The owner is always there which is always a plus in my book and all the employees are super attentive. Wether your coming in for a hair cut, a massage or a mani pedi you won’t be disappointed with this little gem!

I recently got married in Islamorada and used Blu Bamboo for day of hair, make up, and nails. The entire staff was incredibly accomodating and polite, despite the changing needs of my bridal party. We had booked early and several of my bridesmaids added or changed services and appointments right up until the day of the wedding. The staff even juggled their schedules so they could do hair, make up, and/​or nails, for 2 – 3 of us on the day of, even though prior appointments had not been made. (After seeing hair and makeup outcomes, others decided they wanted it!) The décor and general atmosphere of the salon was incredibly calming. While there, I felt more relaxed than I had been in the last few days. By the time we left, I felt refreshed and ready for my ceremony. My bridesmaids and I were extremely pleased with our overall experience and end results. We enjoyed the salon setting and interacting with each of the staff and would definitely recommend Blu Bamboo to others! I know I will be back next time I’m in Islamorada!

After suffering from severe neck and shoulder pain from a poor hotel bed the night before, I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Patty, the massage therapist, really quickly. I was expecting a typical salon-​type massage, not an incredible one that left me feeling better than I have in years. Wow. Patty really knows her stuff. She was professional, yet warm and friendly and the salon staff were equally so. The prices were very reasonable, I’ll definitely be back. I highly recommend this salon.

This is my second time getting a massage at the Blu Bamboo and it was incredible!!! My masseuse was Jessica and she was incredible!!! This was, hand down, the BEST massage I have ever received. Jessica is a true artist and master of her trade. If you are in the area and looking for a great spa… Blu Bamboo is it.

I had a horrible experience with this salon. I booked my hair and make up appts. one month before my niece’s wedding is Islamorada so that I would be sure and have an appt. They took my credit card and told me that there was a 72 hour cancellation period. 48 hours before my appt. I called to see if they could make the appt. any later since 1:30 seemed early for a 6:30 wedding. I was told that was not possible but that someone would call me back. I got a call back from a woman and proceeded to explain that 1:30 was early for my hair. She answered, «oh no, your make up is being done before your hair.» Never in my life have I had my make up done before my hair is washed and blown. I told her so. She then said she would call me back. She called and said it was resolved. My hair was now first but at 1 pm. I explained that my original call was to make it later. She gave me a long story about the make up artist having child care issues and it was guaranteed for her. I told her I understood but 1 pm was still too early. She said she would see what she could do. Friday came and went and no word from them. Saturday at around 3:30 I get a call saying I didn’t show up for my 2:30 appt. I explained that they never told me it was at 2:30 but the woman insisted that she personally had spoken to me and that she was going to have to charge my credit card. I was so frustrated at this point that I told her to do whatever she had to do but that I was going to Unilocal them. So here I am. And $ 115 was charged to my credit card. So beware!

This was my first time at this spa and salon. I had a massage with Karen A. that was amazing! Great experience all-​around. Super friendly staff and beautiful spa. Very relaxing! I will be back!

I was on Islamorada on vacation and decided to try to schedule an impromptu half spa day. I am very happy I called Blu Bamboo. Even though it was short notice they really tried hard to accommodate me, even going so far as to bring in someone who works at their location part time. My massage with Karen and my facial with Dee were wonderful. I had a super-​relaxed afterglow afterward. Just what you want if you are on vacation.
Morgan did my hair, and she was AWESOME. I have short hair, cut in a style that would show any flaw, and I was very overdue for a cut. i don’t trust just anyone to cut it (have been seeing my stylist at home in Boston faithfully for years). I brought in pictures of my cut when it was fresh, and Morgan did an incredible job of cutting my hair, remaining true to my style, but with her own interpretation. She made me feel at ease, was responsive, clearly technically gifted, and communicated well about what she was planning on doing any why. As a plus, she was super fun to talk to!
Check out took a little longer than I would have liked, but I was so incredibly pleased with my service overall, that I didn’t even care afterward. Everyone was very nice, and the cost of the services was also reasonable, in my opinion.
I would highly recommend this salon and spa, and the next time I vacation on Islamorada, I will absolutely come back to Blu Bamboo.

Every time I visit Islamorada I try to get to this salon as much as I can. The owner is always friendly and accomodating, even when I call for last minute appointments. I’ve had massages, hair color/​cut (with Heather) and mani/​pedi and I can recommend all without hesitation. Irina’s facials (and her neck massages) are the best!

I would give this place a zero if I could. I was getting married and this salon was recommended to me for me and my two bridesmaids. I sent in a contact request via the website — no response. I called and a very sweet girl took my information and said the owner had to call me back — she never did. I called again, left another message and the owner never called me back. I will never go to them… totally unprofessional to not even return potential customers calls and emails.

Had a wonderful manicure and pedicure there! I am incredibly ticklish and the woman who did the pedicure applied the right amount of pressure so that I didn’t feel I was getting tortured the whole time. She also got rid of the callouses I have from wearing heels! Very nice staff.

Fabulous massage, pedicure, and setting. Great personal service, too. I arrived a few minutes early for my massage and the waiting area was full with a what appeared to be a wedding party… I was okay standing but the owner (Cindy, I think) brought me into the back to sit in another waiting area, set up a small table, and set a glass of water on it for me. Excellent personal attention! Marisa was an exceptional massage therapist (I’ve had hundreds), found and worked out all issues I had — and some I didn’t even know I had! A great pedicure immediately followed with friendly and fun technician. Definitely worth the price!

Had nails done here. Christy, who only works one day a wk, because she has her own shop in Marathon did them. Outstanding job… only down side for me coming from CO. our prices aren’t as high. But I am on vacation.

I had an appointment at this salon to get my hair done before my friends wedding. As you enter the salon you automatically feel relaxed. The place smells wonderful and you really feel like you are in a spa and not just a salon. As soon as I walked in I was offered water, coffee or tea and wondered around the lobby area checking out all the products for sale. When I was called back we went to the shampoo room. I thought it was really cool that when you look up the ceiling is covered in bamboo. All in all it was a great experience and everyone working was so friendly and helpful. My only complaint was the price. I had my hair shampooed, blown out and had her put my hair half up half down. I was pretty shocked that this came to $ 90.

Recently had our wedding in Islamorada and took all my bridesmaids and family here to have massages and pedi-​manis. The owner was amazingly flexible with scheduling and made sure everyone had a great time. The signature spa pedicure was possibly the best pedicure I have ever had. If you are looking for a spa/​salon in town, this is the place to go!
