Let me start by saying that getting your nails done up in Big Bear is not as easy as it is down the…read morehill due to the lack of salons and nail technicians. I had no choice since I was not able to go down the hill to my regular "go to" salon. My experience has taught me that you have to plan ahead and make an appointment at least 2-3 days ahead of when you want to go. Although I was a bit hesitant to go to a new salon in a different area, I was pleasantly surprised at the skill level of nail services and the quality of customer service provided by Helen and Kevin. I was looking for a place to do a dip powder fill but they did not do dip powder. I requested for a polish change on my toes and for my hands, an acrylic fill / new set if they had time. They worked together as a team; Kevin removed my old set and suggested a new set since my nails were starting to lift (I was aware but didn't know if they had time to do a new set). Kevin did the gel polish change on my toes while Helen worked on mg hands. Helen was able to accommodate the new set and did a great job with listening to what I wanted [sharp, pointed almond shape and natural looking (thin layer of acrylic)] and she was patient with my selecting of gel color (the selection of colors was limited compared to what I'm used to down the hill) but I was able to find colors for my hands and toes. While they worked on my hands and toes, customers came in requesting services but there were no appointments available for the rest of the day but the customers were understanding and made appointment for the next day. Also, while I was waiting for Helen to finish my new set, I overheard Kevin speaking with the next customer and explaining the difference between regular polish and gel polish for pedicures. I appreciated hearing him explain that gel polish is more and lasts longer while regular polish is less expensive and that the choice is up to get customer. Long story short, this salon is a small family-owned place; Helen and Kevin work hard to accommodate customers' requests. Thank you, Helen and Kevin, I really like the way my new set came out and the gel polish change made my toes look so much better. I would return based on this visit. Five stars for customer service and quality of service provided.

I called Elevations Day Spa and spoke to Madison who was great and scheduled me for 3 services (and lunch). They have a 3 services combo which I selected for $235.00. Definitely worth every penny! Kelly did my facial and my skin was vibrant and so soft. She explained what she was doing and the products she used. It was obvious to me she is well trained and a true professional who loves what she does. Rita did the most incredible detox body wrap. She used a body brush to remove the dead skin cells, applied the herbs and wrapped me up. While I was wrapped she did an magnificent neck and foot massage. She had me feeling so relaxed and at peace afterwards. Lunch was next with a yummy BLT sandwich (or whatever sandwich you choose) and tea. Linda was super nice and did a top notch pedicure.
