Salon now open in Presidential Court

Bernard Anthony Salon is looking for customers interested in a quality haircut, spa-like customer service and a skin and nail pampering to knock their socks off.

The shop, which is now open on Presidential Court in south Fort Myers, is a full-service hair, nail and skin salon that is owned by three partners with years of experience.

Becky Rogoszewski, Patricia Granado and Britt Gravley opened the salon a month ago and hope to share their more than 20 years of experience with their clients.

“We offer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where elegance meets excellence and customers still feel pampered,” said Gravley who worked with her partners at another salon before deciding to open their own. “The staff is very well educated and we use top of the line products.”

But good products, fancy equipment and 1,200 square foot of space is not what the partners want customers to focus on, it’s the service.

“We are very open to customers and we focus on treating everyone with courtesy,” said Gravley about the salon that prefers customers to make an appointment before coming in. “We have Wi-Fi for clients to do business and we give them a beverage as well.”

Being able to give customers the best service is important to Rogoszewski because it’s what keeps them coming back.

“We have a lot of clients we have known for years and even after moving, they followed us here,” said Rogoszewski who is a licensed electrolysis and certified permanent make-up specialist. “I was a passed salon owner for 12 years.”

The salon was named Bernard after Rogoszewski’s husband because of its uniqueness. Customers, she said, seem to like it.

“We came here because it was close the previous location and we didn’t want our clients to drive out of their way,” said Granado adding that the group of employees has worked together for 7 years. “We have veteran, seasoned stylists and we have staff who have taken continued education to stay on top of the industry so we have no turnover.”

Granado said that clients appreciate being able to walk in to the salon and recognize the faces.

“I’m hoping we can please people,” Granado said. “We are not a spa but we are a full-service salon.”
