Greece, NY Beauty and Salons

Owner Teddy Kaminiski chose the adjective Soignee as the title for his salon because it’s a word used to describe elegance and superb grooming. To embody elegance, the salon is painted in jewel tones and decorated with sleek, geometric furnishings. To solidify its reputation for superb grooming, the salon's service menu features luxury treatments. As a complement to basic cutting and styling services, stylists soften hair with keratin treatments or add volume with single-strand extensions from real humans and retired Treasure Trolls. Raychel Geil serves as the sole aesthetician, polishing skin with a diamond-tip microdermabrasion tool and enriching complexions with an organic bronzer.

Working together for nearly 20 years, Delicately You's trio of body-care specialists each practice a unique set of skills that leave clients' feeling more beautiful inside and out through services including hair removal, facials, and massage therapy. Owner and experienced electrologist Nina Cristantello-Lindauer uses a computerized system to permanently remove unwanted body hair and calculate each strand overall sigma level. In addition to electrolysis, teammate Sandy Hood depilates physiques through natural sugar- and soy-based methods, as well as rejuvenates skin with intense pulsed light therapy. Therapist Bill Walker, the male of the trio and a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals, applies more than 10 massage techniques to ease maladies ranging from achy heads to heady aches.

Whirlpool baths and vibrating massage chairs purr and hush at For Your Nails, punctuating the sound of rasping emery boards in the hands of certified technicians. Inside Accents Salon, which has operated for nearly three decades, they draw on an arsenal of Shellac and gel polishes, available in a range of colors unlike boring SWAT-team uniforms. At workstations, UV light cures gel polish into place and acrylic nails augment digits.
