Prep & Pamper

Let’s face it, half the fun of Valentine’s Day is getting ready for it! Whether your Valentine’s weekend involves getting out of yoga pants and dressing to the nines, or quiet time at home treating yourself to some much-needed self-care, Downtown Norfolk has everything you need to feel and look your best. 

VIP Nail Salon is a private oasis specializing in manicures and pedicures that will get you “show ready” from tip to toe! 

There is a reason Smooth Downtown is considered one of the best in the industry: they’ve perfected the art of the cleanest, most comfortable experience with their exclusive wax and non-toxic skin care products. Combine that with a spectacular retail boutique, and it’s a one-stop-shop for self-love. 

Make an appointment for a fresh cut, color or blow-out at Salon Fringe and peruse their seasonal gifts and home fragrances while you are there. For a classic barbershop vibe, you can’t go wrong with The Locker Room Vintage Barbershop & Store on Granby Street. 

Get yourself some bold red lipstick, a new scent or shimmery powder for a special glow at Sephora at MacArthur Center. 

Stop by for a visit with Verrandall at Details on Granby for a one-on-one custom tailoring session to get outfitted in style.
