Get Your “Me Time” at Genesis Nail Salon in Northern Liberties

Owner Hellen Chang is always happy to see you

Genesis Nail Salon opened up at 984 N 2nd Street in Northern Liberties many months ago. I walked by the nail salon countless times on my way to my office at the Piazza. It took me a while but I finally decided to make some "me time" and get my nails done.

When I walked in I saw several customers getting pedicures in those high-back self-massaging spa chairs that you always see at the mall, while others were getting their fingernails lacquered to perfection. For a moment I felt a bit out of place. I confess, I had not had a manicure in a very long time! I was a walk-in and did not even know if they would take me and my shabby nails.

"Hello. Come on in...," greeted the petite Korean woman, "... and go pick your nail color."

She pointed to the wall of every color OPI nail polish you can imagine. Hellen Chang is her name and she is the owner of Genesis Nail Salon. Hellen's friendly smile and warm welcome made me feel more relaxed immediately. I took my bottle of OPI Chick Flick Cherry and sat down at one of the several manicure stations while another staff member began my much needed manicure.

All I can say is WOW ! First there was the ultimate hand reflexology, followed by the deep heat shoulder massage, and that was all complimentary with a regular manicure !

Hellen and her incredibly skilled group salon specialists had me sipping Ginseng tea with honey (because Hellen explained that in Korea, Ginseng is used as a potent health tonic) and chatting up the other salon customers like I had known them for years. My manicure was absolutely flawless and lasted 3x longer than any other manicure I have ever had !

Genesis Nail Salon offers superior service and personal attention, hands down. Their menu includes several types of faux-nail options, waxing, chair massage, paraffin treatments, and they do parties and special events. Genesis Nail Salon is unisex, has internet service, several special offers, as well as gift certificates and discount membership cards. Stop by and get your me time.
