I recently had a chance to check out Bellacure Nail Spas. They are spreading across So. California and I loved the concept but until recently, the nearest one for me was Pasadena — with a travel time of about an hour each way, that was pretty well off my list.
Recently their PR circled around to me and offered me a treatment in one of the various locations since they had expanded quite a bit. Never one to say no to something amazing (and this spa chain has that rep in spades), I booked out a pedicure at the closest one to me which was Newport Beach’s Balboa Island. Not the easiest place to get to-especially on a weekend but when offered a fabulous pedicure, I say YES!
Bellacures is known for having exceptional services and customer service as well as attention to detail. Here’s there business manifesto:
Guess what– everything is TRUE!! That’s the experience I had. Everything is super clean. There are no spa tub chairs that have you wondering about cleanliness. The Bellacure pedicures are
A M A Z I N G!!. I found Bellacures to be friendly, not overly loud, exceptionally comfortable, thoughtful about my comfort– they made sure I had lots of tea or water, the temperature was good for my foot soak and more. It was a very luxurious experience. I think I was there almost 2 hours! It was rather decadent and I loved the treatment.
The Balboa Bellacures ambiance- low key music, kid-friendly, lots of comfortable chairs!
My pedicure was the Softer Soles Pedi and they threw in some extra massage and also some nail art too.
The pedicure has lasted a long time. I have touched up the tips of 3 nails only. The nail art has stuck for over 3 weeks. I am shocked! It’s so pretty too. The woman who did it was so precise and took her time to be so creative. She asked me what I wanted and I said her being creative was enough.
The polish is mine: Zoya Lola so I could do touch-ups at home.
If you go to Bellacures you will not be disappointed. I was thrilled walking out — and all weekend. My feet and toes looked great and the polish has lasted a long time. Quality product and exceptional technique makes a huge difference. Just a hint: make an appointment to get in there. They do walk-ins but I found that they filled up quickly and had a PM wait so you might want to get there early or make that appointment or BOTH. They can handle doing both manicures and pedicures at the same time as well.
Thank you again to Bellacures for the treatment! Yes, it was on the house, but I left a tip commensurate with the treatment. I am very picky about how my nails are done– I have left salons being unhappy or found them to be less than stellar when polish chips in 2-3 days.
Bellacure lasted more than 2 weeks before I had to touch up the tip of one nail. (thank you sandals)
