Bling Salon & Spa

I visited some family in Lewes and they took me to get a a manicure and massage. They did an amazing job. Also, it was really easy to find parking compared to the other salon/​spas in the area. Can’t wait for my next visit so I can stop by Bling again!

Call ahead for an appointment. even a week or two prior to vacation…

Not good. Stylist didn’t show up and the receptionist sat there and talked negatively about customers. Not professional.

DO NOT GO HERE. I have never been treated so rudely in my entire life! I went to get my hair done with a bridal party. My hair was slightly damp when I showed up. The hairdresser scolded me saying, «you KNEW you were supposed to show up here with blow-​dried, ready to go hair.» I actually was not aware that showing up with my hair slightly damp in a hair salon filled with millions of hair driers would be an issue.
She then continued to ask to me if I was going to «be able to pay for this, because it is $ 75 you know.» Excuse me? I’m a waitress and that would be like me asking my customers if they were going to be able to pay for the bill before I took their order. I’m young, but that is no reason to assume I wouldn’t be able to pay for the services I sat down for. I obviously knew I was going to be spending money. I was extremely offended.
All the hairdresser did was blow dry my hair for 2 minutes, put it in a side pony and curl my hair. This cost me $ 75 and we were not discounted in anyway for coming in a large bridal party. Most of the girls were very unhappy about the results of their hair. This was a horrible, offensive experience and I do not recommend anyone go to this salon.

If you like ambience with your haircut, pedicure, massage or other spa service, you would be hard-​pressed to find better in the Rehoboth/​Lewes area than Bling. As with any salon, the quality of the service for spa treatments will vary with the person performing the service. I have been going there for several years and really enjoy my time in Bling because they go all out to make the environment beautiful.
Initially, I went to Bling for hair cut/​color, pedicure and massage, which are the only spa services I use. Unfortunately, last year, my nail and massage person left Bling and went to another salon. I felt that both her work and the rapport we had built up over several years were worth my loyalty, so I followed her to her new salon nearby. I do, however, still go to Bling for hair.
There are approximately a half dozen hair stylists working at any given time.
The shampoo room is darkened and you are offered lotion for your hands and a cool or warm eye mask while you have your shampoo. A very relaxing experience. As noted earlier, who you get for your shampoo makes a big difference in what your experience will be. One or two send me to heaven and the rest are just okay.
I love the pedicure room, which has 3 pedi stations with massage chairs. While I am fragrance sensitive, I LOVE the fragrances they use both in the water and in the lotion they use to massage your feet and legs. It is all part of the experience! They offer both a maintenance pedi and a spa (Bling) pedi. The mani room is the only room I find to be just okay. It is kind of crowded in there.
The massage and facial rooms are relaxing and super comfortable. For a massage, the room is darkened and there is lovely, relaxing music playing. As I am fragrance sensitive, I asked my massage therapist for no– or low-​fragrance oils/​creams.
Whoever is providing your service asks if you want something to drink. Note that they no longer allow customers to include the tip on your credit card when you pay for your service, so remember to have some cash on hand to tip.
That the staff appears to have a great rapport is both a pro and a con. A pro because it makes for a peaceful experience. A con because, well, there is sometimes a lot of socializing going on. It all depends on who you’re dealing with.
Some reviewers have given Bling 1 star for ONE bad experience with ONE employee. I think that is unfair. If you have a bad experience, talk to the manager and let her know you are unhappy. She may be able to recommend someone else that may be a better fit for you. The very first time I came to Bling, I had a pedicure. I did not end up going back to that person. I tried someone else, and ended up being with her for several years (and still am at a new salon).

Looks like a very nice salon. I only had a wax done but it was an excellent experience with TJ

Usually I get my nails done by Vietnamese salons, but I wasn’t familiar with the area and didn’t know where any were so I stopped here. I am not embellishing in the slightest when I say I could have given myself a better manicure. They do not soak, lotion, trim your cuticles, or even cut your nails evenly. They painted my nails so that they already looked grown out. The woman was very nice but should not be doing nails. Also, at the end when she finally started to apply the clear coat, a big red streak came out on top of my pale pink. At first she kept painting the other nails, pretending not to notice. Then she asked «Oh, is that going to bother you?» By then I just wanted to leave figuring she’d take some money off (it was Shellack, would have taken forever to fix) but no, I got charged full price. The most expensive and least professional manicure I’ve ever had.

Don’t bother. The hair up do was awful for a wedding. And the make up made me look like Mimi on the old Drew Carey show. Bad sound in the treatment room for a facial and a fem receptionist more interested in his social life than making an appointment or listening to your compalints.
