Cliffside Park, NJ Beauty and Salons

Not many 12-year-olds run their own beauty business out of their home. But this was the case for Suna Serpin](http://www.sunasspa.com/About.html), whose burgeoning interest in skincare inspired her to extend beauty services to her family and friends before she was even a teenager. Years after getting married and raising children, Suna returned to the business, this time receiving her license in aesthetics and training with the American Laser Center. She cites Jane Wurwand, the founder of renowned skincare line Dermalogica, as the inspiration to open her own spa, where she now lavishes clients with services such as facials, laser hair removal, and body scrubs. She also happily offers up Dermalogica products, which retain their soothing qualities from earth-culled ingredients such as plants and the tears of woodland nymphs.

Inside private treatment rooms, the royal specialists tailor each client’s experience to his or her whims, ensuring the most delectable aromatherapy oils scent raindrop, hot-stone, heated waterbed, and foot massages, and consulting with clients about areas that may need more therapeutic attention. Before skin-perfecting facial services, royal specialists again lend their ears to clients who detail their skin’s conditions and their beauty regimens, helping the professionals select the proper skincare products to achieve glowing, supple façades.

Within Spoiled Diva Nail Spa, skilled nail technicians lavish fingertips and toe-tips with spa treatments and fresh coats of polish.

On select nights after 5 p.m., the staff hosts special events complete with cocktails and snacks.

Within Karen's Nail Salon's brightly lit studio, throne-size leather pedicure chairs and leather-backed manicure chairs cradle clients as nail technicians groom their fingertips and toes.

Aestheticians also uproot unwanted hair with Brazilian, leg, and arm waxes. Each service can be quickly booked through Karen's online system.
