Was in Encinitas for a weeklong vacation, and as a busy mom who hardly ever gets salon time, I was looking for just the right place. This was it.
Chezney the massage therapist was wonderful. I like a strong massage but oftentimes when I ask for that, it's not strong enough, or so firm that I'm wincing the entire time. Chezney has strong hands but a sweet vibe - just the right pressure.
And I got a great Island pedi from Java, too! I've not been happy with the pedis I get in NYC. This one was great - thorough and unhurried. Very good polish job, and after 2 days at the beach, still looks fresh.
Some of the other reviews complained about being too near the train tracks. I could hear the whistles and rumbling every now and then during my 2 hours there, but the noises were very muted, and frankly I liked the wild wild West feel of it.
If we ever go back to Encinitas, I would def come to Bergamot again.
