Bronze Boutique

The holidays wouldn’t have been complete without a little red polish so I decided to check out Bronze Boutique, a new tanning and nail salon in Old Town Scottsdale. The décor is darling. Everything is white with pearly green accents and chandeliers everywhere- just what Scottsdale needed.

I called ahead to book my appointment but surprisingly enough they weren’t too busy. When I checked in at the front desk the salon coordinator took me back and offered me champagne, of course I couldn’t resist! I sat down at the pedicure station; it was like a throne, so cute. The chairs are setup high and mounted into the wall and the area is curtained off so you have your own private area to relax. I opted for an elite pedi, complete with sea salt and an awesome massage.
The staff was super friendly and professional – they definitely went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable! The prices were very reasonable; it was actually less expensive then my other nail salon.

I would highly recommend checking it out!

Bronze Boutique also offers tanning, massage therapy, facials, and waxing. Check out the menu and specials at http://www.bronzeboutiqueonline.com/index.html.
