Spa News: Deborah Lippmann Launches First Nail Salon at Miraval

I’m the first to say that when it comes to glitter polish there’s not one brand I’ve tried that can hold a candle to Deborah Lippmann (Happy Birthday is by far my fave polish for a fun night out!). So I was thrilled when I heard the big announcement that one of our favorite spas was going to be the home of Deborah Lippmann’s first ever nail salon! The brand new 350-square-foot salon is yet another reason to fall in love with Miraval’s Life in Balance Spa and each treatment was developed and taught to specialists by Deborah herself! “I grew up in Arizona, which as my home state holds a special place in my heart,” Deborah said.  “I support the Miraval philosophy of Life in Balance – it’s something in which I very much believe.  I have truly benefited from their teachings – learning to get to the root of things, releasing and letting go. The Miraval experience makes it so much more than just a spa.”

The one-of-kind salon features three pedicure chairs that look out to the gorgeous Catalina Mountains as well as two manicure stations and each Deborah-designed and Miraval-exclusive treatment includes a nail and skin assessment to promote long-lasting nail health. A fun highlight from the menu is the Moroccan Coffee Blossom Pedicure which uses rich scents and a North African-inspired pedicure ritual. Simon Marxer, Spa Director at Miraval, explained that the treatment starts with a nail assessment to identify your nail needs and uses Red Flower products along with the Deborah Lippmann products.  “Cuticles are cared for, a Marrakesh Mint Tea is provided, and then [a] Lemon coffee blossom olive stone scrub [is performed] on your feet and lower legs,” Simon explained. “Once [the] exfoliation is complete, a warm White Jasmine clay is applied and warm wet towels are layered on your legs and feet to allow the detoxifying clay to take full effect. While the clay soothes, the hands and arms are massaged with a rich Tangerine Fig Butter. Once the clay is removed, the legs are massaged with hot stones and a warm Cardamom Amber oil. This is followed with a second massage sealing in the Cardamom Amber oil with the Tangerine fig butter. Your legs are then misted with the Orange Quince oil and the nails are cared for.” The treatment ends with a polish using the Deborah Lippmann lacquer of your choice! Simon told us to expect “unparalleled relaxation” while the pedicure works to detoxify and deeply moisturize your feet!
