My arrival at Olivia was far from organic as I was purposely seeking an eco-friendly nail salon, let me tell you, it's not easy finding eco-friendly/organic nail salons. My friend called a few hours prior to our arrival as we didn't have an appointment, they were able to see both of us on that same date and at the time that fit our schedules best. Talk about flexibility! Upon entering, we were transported into a euphoric world that was clean, modern and smelled like lavender, lemon and other beautiful natural fragrances. Our attendees sat us down in comfy chairs and placed our feet into pedicure bowls of warm water filled with soap and flower petals, talk about a major pampering! The best part of the pedicure bowl is that it's pipe/jet-less which means the services you opt for will be safer and healthier for both the customer and the attendee! YES, please! My attendee was very friendly and not overly chatty, which allowed me to really slip away and clear my mind. Pedicure services were plentiful and ranged in time and price. I opted for the 40 minute/$40 Brooklyn Pedicure. My pedi included full cuticle and nail care, exfoliation with a lavender scrub, hot towel wrap treatment and an extended callus massage. So amazing! My manicure was pretty quick and simple, however I opted for the chemical free manicure which is worth the extra $6, no headaches from the chemicals and no worries regarding exposing myself to unnecessary toxins. I paid about $52 for my mani/pedi treatment, though steeper than I'd like, I don't mind paying this much when I know I'm not exposing myself to chemicals and toxins that not only hurt the customer, but others as well. I support Olivia in all of its endeavors and hope that other nail salons follow by example to create a safer and healthier environment for all employees and customers! Read Less
