Small Biz Saturday: LV Edition ⭐
19
items All (or at least most) of my favorite small businesses in the Lehigh Valley. Coming from a girl who will drive 2+ hours for a good experience, these are all the best local spots that I just can't gatekeep.

Self Care & Beauty 💅🏻💄✨
My top picks for lashes, nails, hair – the whole nine yards.
I've been getting asked about my nail salon NONSTOP. If you want someone who is up for a challenge with nail designs and probably pickier than you, Gem is your girl. My nails are perfect every. single. time. (Angela comes in at a close second).
BONUS: They offer a free 10 minute shoulder massage. My friend and I call the massage woman the “magic lady” because her hands are magic… but wait, it still gets better. If you pay cash 10 times and get your card signed, you get $10 off your next vis...

Herbal Nails Spa - Coopersburg
Carolyn is THAT girl! So sweet and she's almost always booked out so you know she's good.
The Divine Eye - Lashes & Brows
It's the girls here who really make the experience the best. They'll walk you through what works best for you and are always a pleasure when you come in. Nothing kills my drive to go to a business more than getting mean girl vibes from the front desk...
Palm Beach Tan: Tanning Salon | Allentown
Went here on a whim and wow… Life changing. The girls weren't lying when they said you'll leave a head spa appointment feeling like a whole new person. Worth. Every. Penny. The whole atmosphere was so peaceful and there's enough space to bring friend...
Mane tHAIRapy Head Spa | Trexlertown
Jared is hands down the best masseuse I have EVER been to. Now, he's one of less than 2,000 rolfing practitioners in the country. If you want someone who truly knows how to do body work, Jared is your guy.
Jared K. Skinner | Massage Therapist & Rolfing Practitioner | PA
I don't think I'll ever switch to another medspa. The owners are super nice and have fun events like giveaways and holiday parties for customers and the staff is top-notch. I hate going anywhere for a service where I feel like staff constantly pushes...
Amazing Skin Laser & Aesthetics MedSpa | Allentown

Services I'll probably be soliciting as long as I live here.
Beth is the best of the best. If you want a local who also is a ride-or-die small business supporter, Beth is your gal. From organization to presentation and overall vibe, she's got it all.

Undoubtedly the best detailing experience I've ever had. Henny's Mobile Detailing was reasonably priced and overall a pleasure to work with. I'll 100% be booking him again once I need a spring cleaning.

I never knew of Gather & Graze until my full-time job hired them for an event and in a matter of hours, the spread was jaw-dropping. I didn't think so much attention to detail could be put into a charcuterie spread, but I stand corrected.

Local Retail & Boutiques 🛍️🛒💓
Local retailers or businesses that I just can't recommending. Seriously, I can't shut up about them and that should say enough.
If you love your dog, you need to go here. End of story. These people are all such animal lovers, they'll love your dog just as much as you do. They helped us find a holistic alternative to help our dog who began having seizures. The team looks throu...
The Dining Dog and Friends | Allentown
Don't like bourbon? You will after having these locally-distilled spirits. And the gift set is perfect for those in your life who DO like bourbon.
Xplorer Spirits | Allentown
Looking for crystals, charms or particular herbs? Kindred Spirits has it all and the nicest owner to top it all off. There's so much in one tiny store, you'd be surprised, but she'll always happily point you in the right direction of what you're look...
BONUS: Everything is SO reasonably priced. I've overturned necklaces expecting to see $80 price tags, but instead was pleastantly greeted by a $25 tag.

Kindred Spirits Crystals, Books & Gifts | Hellertown
I've heard that this is one of the best antique shops in the Valley and I can definitely see why. I was most intrigued by the lots up for auction when I went, and while it was too late to place a bid, the options were amazing. Truly some really great...
Cottage Antiques & Crafts | Allentown
Because… who doesn't want to say they bought something from Saquon Barkley's Mom's resale boutique?
Mama B Resale Boutique | Allentown
In short: a locally-owned jeweler that you know you can trust.
Parkway Jewelers | Allentown
I would gatekeep this if I could. One of five locations in PA, with this one being the closest to the Lehigh Valley. It's worth the trip, you'll almost always find something you either need or didn't realize you need, all new and for a fraction of th...
Total Liquidators | Quakertown

Places I've been frequenting and things I've been repeatedly doing for years, and will continue to do for years to come – they're just that good.
One of my favorite date spots. The end.
PaintSome Pottery | Allentown
The oldest living drive-in theatre in America, now managed by a couple that is determined to preserve it's classic charm. It's THE peak drive-in experience. What more could you want?
Shankweiler's Drive-In | Orefield
AIf you're looking for a classic movie theatre experience, The Grand Theatre embodies that old-timey feel the second you step inside. Again, another date night favorite that's just a little outside the Lehigh Valley.
