Hidden Gem in Bernardsville!
We just moved to the area, and I was looking for a local nail salon to keep up my LCN gel set. I found this place via the Bernardsville Bubble Facebook group (if you are a new local, it's bother great place for recommendations) and noted that they didn't have a Yelp page, but decided to take a chance because of the many positive reviews from locals. I am very glad I did - I left my appointment much more relaxed than I went in!
I had an appointment for a LCN Gel fill + Gel polish. Racheal (sp?) accommodated me right away, and asked me a few questions about what I liked (polish, shape, etc) and the final result was spot on. She knows what she's doing, especially compared to other salons that I've been to where they glob it on. She takes her time, doesn't chat too too much (nice to zone out and catch up on Food network, amiright?). I also received a nice chair massage while my polish cured! The salon wasn't too busy on a Sunday morning, so she offered a pedicure, which I declined, and she later offered a facial (which I sorely needed, so after hemming and hawing, I accepted). She was not pushy, but rather guided me based on our conversation.
The facial was wonderful, I haven't been in years so I don't have much to compare it to, but they really put an emphasis on hydration (my dry cracked skin needed it) and I left with a dewy glow! I again received a massage on shoulders, neck and arms. The facial lasted at least an hour... and many hours later, my sensitive skin is feeling very fresh!
Salon is clean, staff is friendly, respectful and kind, parking is easy and they're open on Sundays!! As if that isn't good enough, they also have a rewards program (prices are competitive for the area, but not "cheap" - reflects the quality of the work and the spa).
I'm not sure why they don't have a page yet, maybe this place is Bernardsville's best kept secret? In any case, I've already made my next appointment! read more
