Callie K Nutrition
Best Nutritionist
Callie Krajcir’s reason for becoming a registered dietitian was personal. She was struggling with a bladder condition called interstitial cystitis (IC), which comes with unique diet restrictions. “There was only one [registered dietitian] specializing in IC in the world back then, so I decided to become the second,” she says. Fast-forward to today, and Krajcir helps clients everywhere through her business, Callie K Nutrition. She has these tips for easing into a healthier diet: “Eat a lot of variety and color, meaning fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and healthy fats! Focus less on what not to eat and more on all of the healthy foods you can add to your diet.”

Best Hair Stylist
It seems Kendall Brown was destined for a career in the beauty business. “I always wanted to be a stylist of some sort, whether that be hair or makeup, since I was a little girl,” she says. “I was always rummaging through my mom’s beauty products and tools.” She’s been with the J. Morgan Salon Company since starting out as a hair stylist five years ago and is currently working at the West location in Bethlehem Township. It’s not unusual for her to spend hours with a single client. “I like to connect with my guests on not only a professional level but a personal level as well,” Brown says. “I love celebrating their accomplishments and life milestones.”

Inspire Barber Studio
Best Barbershop
Joshua Hernandez has come a long way since the days of cutting hair in his apartment kitchen. He’s the owner of Inspire Barber Studio, which opened last year in Salisbury Township. “I went with ‘barber studio’ rather than ‘barbershop,’” he explains, “because this to me is more than just a barbershop. This is home. This is a brand and when you walk in, you can sense that vibe.” Services run the gamut from typical men’s haircuts to cuts for kids as well as minor skincare treatments like face masks, hot towel shaves and a facial steamer that opens the pores for a smoother shave.

Reverie Beauty Studio
Best Lash Artist
Colleagues turned best friends turned business owners Jessica Olivier and Rayda Gonzalez opened Reverie Beauty Studio in Bethlehem Township in 2020. They’re also both full-time estheticians and lash artists. Reverie offers a number of services to enhance the lashes and the area around them. Here’s Olivier and Gonzalez’s take on what sets their studio apart: “Lashes are not one-size-fits-all, so it’s more than just putting lashes on someone for us. It’s taking someone’s eye shape, symmetry, natural lash length, and creating a lash line that enhances their beauty while taking their lash health into consideration. The goal is healthy and beautiful lashes.”
