Editorial Review for Pretty Inside – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
Hidden in the back of a communal building, this spa is the secret second home of Brooklyn beauty junkies. The cheery, laughter-filled staff welcomes guests like old friends, and raiding the refrigerator affords delicious choices between cucumber- or lemon-infused water and cookies, cheese and crackers. Treatments seal the deal with cutesy names and original techniques; the Olive My Body massage uses palm and olive oils, and the Beach Babe exfoliates and steams you before tanning cream is applied.

I decided to go to Pretty Inside and try out the new salon. I live in the neighborhood and figured I should at least try our only salon. I have to say I was pleased! The atmosphere was peaceful, the staff was kind and warm, they use PHYTO (my favorite hair care line) and MOST IMPORTANTLY the service was of quality. I got an incredible hair cut from the stylist and she was amazing. She gave me exactly what I asked for in the cut and then went above and beyond with the blowdry. I looked like a celeb when I walked out of there. She also gave me excellent hair advice that has allowed me to maintain styling it on my own. It still looks great. I have to say it is refreshing to have some talent in Brooklyn. The prices are reasonable and the quality is pha nominal. The trial was worth it and I will definitely be going back for more.
Pros: quality, cleanlyness, attitudes, advice...EVERYTHING
Cons: NONE
