Good morning everyone! I want to introduce you to our newest team member Maria LoPresti, our natural nail expert manicurist and pedicurist.
Maria Lopresti,Expert Natural Nail manicurist and pedicurist Indulge Salon, York Pa
She hails from Pittsburgh, Pa brought here to Indulge Salon, York, Pa. If you have ever been plunked down in a new area where you don’t know anyone, you know how hard it is to get used to a new environment, finding new Dr’s, dentists, gynecologists, hairstylist, manicurist, garage for your car to be worked on and making new friends that might be a little different culturally than what you have been used to all your life. My daughter Alex Acworth Crawford did this when she went to college, then off Georgia, then to Texas for a new job and back again to Georgia. Its not easy meeting new people because you just aren’t confident enough about how you will be received. We understand and want to make her feel welcome with York County, Pa friends. She doesn’t know how wonderful our heritage is here in York and when you get the chance, please welcome her as we have. She is a gem.
As with all of our interviews for potential staff, we have to see their actual skills, meet with them to see if they are compatible with our culture within the salon. She had to do a model to show us her work. We were impressed with the natural nail manicure she provided on the model. It’s not often that you have a new nail technician that comes in with such a highly regarded appreciation for natural nails. She told us in Pittsburgh, Pa that the salon she worked in previously, they were moving towards the natural nail manicures and pedicures. She does enjoy the gel and shellac manicures and pedicures. Then on top of this, she surprised us by saying she is a professional massage therapist. She achieved a Bachelors of Art degree in addition to her Cosmetology license in Pittsburgh, Pa. Please note that she had to tell me that she is highly allergic to hair color and cannot apply or have her hands in the dyes that we use at the salon or she will break out. She showed me a picture of her scalp when she had color done and how it broke out. Whew, her scalp looked painful and uncomfortable. With that being said, we are cool with her staying over in the spa and front desk area. It’s already been her second week and she is booking up quickly.
Maria’s schedule for nail services:
Tuesday/Thursday 9:00 a.m – 9 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Still have room for walk-in’s on Saturdays and during the week however we recommend that you call to reserve your time.
Compliments and reviews from our current clients:
I was working behind the chair with a client and one of our fun clients (whom I know is very particular) comes over to me and says, “Kimberly, she is good!, I’m telling all of my friends about her and we need to get her busy.” Mary Bahn, York, Pa
“Kimberly, this girl is good, look at the way the edges are precise, look how neat the polish is applied and she is a delight to talk to.” Rita Carp-Fisher, York, Pa
“Hey, I want to tell you about your nail girl, she did a great job on my nails. I was running late and needed to have them done and she worked me in her schedule. I loved the shape of my nails.” Amy Harlacker, Cleveland, Ohio (she drives 5 hours to have her hair and nails done here at Indulge Salon)
Another long term client walks over to me and says, “excuse me Kimberly, but I just had to tell you how wonderful my nails look and I’m going to book another appointment. I love having my nails done but it’s been hard to find a really good manicurist here in York. I think I found her.” Randi Cohen, York, Pa
