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 .

Your wedding is a really big deal to you and to us. Regardless of your taste and personal style, your nails will be on stage with you. Everyone wants to see you ring, and it is captured in photos forever. We’d like to be in know on all you can do with your special wedding nails.

Many choose a beautiful French Manicure. What you may not know is you can decide the type of pink and the type of white colors for your French Manicure. Options range from sharp to subtle, pinks to grays-oh the possibilities! This makes French Manicures our most popular bridal option…even for brides who never considered themselves “French Manicure” types. A fun alternative is an American manicure: white on the nail bed and the pink on the tip. Again, the color choices are many…extreme to subtle.

If a French manicure isn’t your style, we recommend a sheer polish treatment. We have so many options here from clear to silver to every soft pink you can image. This polish treatment includes a base coat, two layers of soft color, and top coat. Your entire nail surface will be the same color. We recommend this option for brides concerned about chips because chips are much less visible with light sheer colors.

Of course, you can always go with a bold color. We always apply a basecoat, two layers of polish, and  a top coat to help set the polish. If you do not regularly get nail treatments a deep color option can be risky for your wedding day. Polish takes hours to cure, and it could ding and dent if you are active. If you are set on a deep dark and beautiful color you must be aware of your nails. We want your day to be perfect too!

At Pinkies we offer color alternatives for those who prefer a no-color treatment. Even when you don’t want color, you can still get trimmed cuticles and shaped nails on your special day. Clear polish or a fabulous buff will leave your nails picture perfect.

Our Deluxe treatments include a massage and will fully moisturize your hands and feet. Deluxe Pedicures feature a fragrant exfoliating scrub that leaves your feet and lower legs smooth and glowing as well as a 10 minute lower leg and foot massage that will relieve you from stress. Deluxe Pedicures allow you to soak your hands and nails in warm oil and lotion and also include a massage.

Note to Maids and Matrons of Honor: we honor you. We’ve learned many things over the years, and at the top of the list is don’t mess with you. Let’s face it, you couldn’t love your bride more. You are under stress, on stage and responsible for your bride until she leaves for her honeymoon. Stay prepared for any emergency by picking up a bottle of your bride’s polish color (tip color for French) before you leave Pinkies. We will make this easy for as we are here to assist you. You matter to us too and want you to feel pampered.

The groom MUST get his nails done, too. Pinkies is hardly too frilly for men. We’ve been providing men’s nail care for years and men are a common site in our salons, and we take care of our guys just like we care for you. His hands are photographed with yours so his cuticles must be trimmed, nails clipped, shaped and perfectly buffed. A pedicure is also a nice touch for him on the Big Day. You see those feet…and wouldn’t clean, trimmed, filed and buffed toe nails on him make the honeymoon a little sweeter? We think so…

What better way to get ready for the isle than to book a party at Pinkies the night before or the day of? We can accomodate as many people as you need. Simply visit our website and fill out a party form.
