While an army of hairstylists bustles about this award-winning Yorkville salon, esthetician Ewa Kruczek serenely greets clients at the front desk before ushering them in to her calm, private room for hand and foot treatments, waxing and tinting. Manicures are generally conducted out in the salon, so clients can soak up the energy of this frenetic space. Manicures by Kruczek- a veteran with two decades’ worth of experience- are the stuff of legend. Carrying all the latest on OPI shades, she is most amenable, if not excited, when asked to paint a colour we’ve brought to try out. There begins an exercise in relaxation as Kruczek deftly removes old polish, tugs at your tattered cuticles, massages your hands into submission and applies polish in quick, confident strokes. Manicure from $24, pedicure from $45. Helping you into your coat, free.
