In 1993, Darlene Berry opened Natural Touch Esthetics in Spruce Grove and, in 2005, Debbie Kolasa came on board with her business, Nail Creations. Since then, the two friends have shared a space and a belief in treating customers to a friendly, relaxing experience. “The interaction with the people is what we love about it,” says Debbie.
There is just the two of them in their three-room shop, and the cozy confines create a great opportunity for them to really get to know their customers in ways that just aren't possible at big salons. “It’s very comfortable and quiet. We play nice music and people are very comfortable here,” says Darlene. She adds, half-jokingly, that there is another reason Natural Touch Esthetic/Nail Creations is successful: “Our wonderful personalities keep people coming back.”
