Pinkies Beauty Blog

Macy’s in San Francisco’s bustling Union Square  invited Pinkies Nail Salons to their exclusive launching of the b.tempt’d bra line from Wacoal on Friday, April 10. Two of our fabulous nail technicians from Pinkies Potrero Hill performed complementary mini manicures to each customer who tried on a b.tempt’d bra. Customers who purchased an item from the b.temp’d line received a Pinkies gift card.

b.tempt’d is a new collection of bras and underwear from Wacoal with a young and hip spirit. There are so many colors and patterns to choose from–all fun and flirty.

Shoppers (and Pinkies staff) enjoyed tasty cookies and beverages while listening to a live DJ. We were able to meet so many new people while we gave our Mini Manicures. Pinkies loves getting out into the community and working with new and exciting companies and organizations. The event was a huge success, and we can’t work with our new friends at Macy’s again!

Of course Pinkies wants you to show off your pedicured toes, and what better way than with your shoes? If you already have a pair that you love or you want to jazz up a plain pair, check out the new online store for d e k k o r i, which just launched November 30, 2009.

d e k k o r i hand crafts special accessories for your shoes. According to their website (www.dekkori.com), “d e k k o r i  offers infinite styling options by enhancing, transforming or simply styling any existing pair of shoes.” You can choose from pieces that turn a pair of pumps into boots or add sexy straps to plain flats. Each piece is available in several colors, and they come in different sizes to fit every woman. The style pieces comes with hidden buckles to look like its an actual part of your shoe.

With so many things going on in the Bay Area, it can be hard to keep track! We’ve put together a list of some interesting events happening to keep this weekend fun. Of course, don’t forget to treat yourself at Pinkies and check out special Holiday Packages!

Burke Williams opened their Danville spa location last fall. Pinkies Nail Salons owners, Derik Landry and Connie Kullberg, recently visited the spa incognito to see what all the excitement was  about.

 
The spa takes up the entire second floor of the main building at the newly opened Rose Garden Center in Danville, Ca and is beautifully decorated Candice Olson style (for you HGTV lovers). The main lounge and waiting area is refreshing and airy with a coastal feel . Plush sofas, chairs, and ottomans are so inviting we could have lingered for hours in our fluffy spa robes. The room is filled with a thoughtful collection of beauty products in all price ranges.

 
Both Men’s and Ladies lounges are well appointed with an oversized jacuzzi, stream room, dry sauna, and relaxation areas decorated with the by-the-sea theme. The spa attendants were exceptional, offering eucalyptus spray for the steambath, foaming and fragrant Juniper oil for th jacuzzi, sliced cucumbers for eyes, and a deliciously refreshing lemon/orange aid. Give yourself a treat, linger a little longer, and enjoy all the amenities of the spa even if you are only in for a massage.

 
Massages are performed in comfortable treatment rooms by well trained therapists. The rooms are not filled with clutter and are large enough that the therapists are not crashing into things or bumping the tables during treatments. The therapists also put your robe in a warmer during your treatment so it’s toasty warm and soothing for your short stroll back the the lounge.

 
On the way out we stopped to meet the new General Manager, Danica Amstadt. Danica was promoted to Danville from Burke Williams Torrance location and is loving it here in Northern California. She appreciates our outdoors and beautiful surrounding of the Diablo Valley. We were really impressed by Danica’s warm and friendly demeanor…she’s a great fit for Danville.

 
Make no mistake, Burke Williams is a top notch spa and worth the visit. You can reach the spa by calling 925-362-0104 or on-line at www.burkewilliams.com .
