Susan Bella Jewelry
Best Place to Buy Fine Jewelry
Some artists work with clay; others dabble in oil paints or watercolors. But Susan Bella Linski’s medium of choice is gold, silver and gemstones. She grew up in the jewelry business (her family owned Lehigh Jewelers) before striking out on her own in 2009. Her knowledge of all things ornamental cements her status in the big leagues of bling: she can design it, make it, fix it and help you maintain it. And Linski prides herself on stocking her shop with quality pieces for every occasion, whether the wearer is bound for a red carpet event or pairing the purchase with jeans and a t-shirt.

Her salon in South Whitehall Township specializes in glamorizing and galvanizing clients worn weary by the stresses of everyday life. “We have created a warm and inviting atmosphere, with the intention of having a safe haven for our clients to retreat to,” says Lenz. Clients (ReVive caters to both men and women) can expect to be pampered while they’re primped, with an array of refreshments and bonus extras, like complimentary paraffin hand treatments. And Lenz makes sure she and her staff always bring their “A” game: “All of our stylists continue their education through monthly classes,” she says.

Skinterest
Best Waxing There and Everywhere & Best Eyebrow Artist
A facial faux pas? It happens. A well-intentioned hairdo, turned hair don’t? Been there, done that. But…of all the possible beauty-related mishaps, is there anything more unfortunate, more wince-inducing, than a waxing gone wrong? If a past experience has driven a wedge between you and the waxing table, put your fears to rest at Skinterest in Easton. Partners Catrian Schutzer and Chelsea Cornelius say they’ve heard all the horror stories, so they pride themselves on making the experience as enjoyable as possible.
And if it’s bombshell brows that you seek, Schutzer can help with that, too, having also won in the Best Eyebrow Artist for On-Point Brows category. Schutzer says she was born to shape eyebrows. It’s a skill she first picked up in middle school, when she worked her magic on her friends with a pair of mini-tweezers, and perfected over time.
