As a bride-to-be, I decided to enjoy the indulgence of a pedicure and manicure. However, instead of bringing a best friend or my mom, I brought my daughter and daughter-to-be, as I was preparing for my second marriage. Searching for a spa that would pamper all three of us I found Serendipity Day Spa.
This beautiful spa is housed in an old farmhouse that is wonderfully appointed. Upon notifying the front desk of our arrival, we were offered seats in a waiting room filled with comfortable couches and chairs.
Within a few minutes our aestheticians arrived, and we were taken to the nail room. After choosing our nail colors, we were seated in massage chairs and offered beverages. I chose a cup of coffee, as it was morning, (though wine was also an option!) and the girls continued with water.
The girls and I were to receive a pedicure, mine including a paraffin dip, and hand massages. When I scheduled the appointment they only had time to paint one set of nails, so I scheduled myself and told the girls I would purchase their chosen toenail colors and paint theirs at home. Everyone was fine with that plan.
While receiving our pedicures and hand massages, what impressed me the most about this spa was the attention paid to each client. The girls were treated like any other woman at the spa. They were given magazines to read and water in goblets. The girls had their treatments explained as they progressed, letting them be aware of what would happen next.
When the girls’ massages and pedicures were done, I still hadn’t finished my pedicure and needed to have my fingernails painted. After checking their schedules, the girls’ aestheticians offered to do a quick nail painting for each, if it was fine with me. I graciously agreed, and the girls’ delight was readily apparent.
When all three of us had our nails painted, we began the journey home. The girls eagerly discussed how fun it was going to a spa and when we could go again. I told them that it was the first visit in what should be a yearly tradition. I know for certain that the next time the girls and I want to have our nails done and receive some pampering, we will return to Serendipity.
Not only did our nails look wonderful, but the entire atmosphere – from furnishings to staff – was amazing. If you are fortunate enough to live anywhere near Concord, New Hampshire, and want to have a spa treatment before your big day, I wholeheartedly recommend Serendipity Day Spa.
