Are you a working mom, a homemaker, or a retired grandmother looking to spruce up your look? Sova Salon is the perfect destination for the everyday woman. Elina Pinkhasova, proprietor of the independent family-owned-and-operated salon, brings years of high-end experience to the busy Main Street business corridor. Sova is the answer to Jewish women yearning to support another Jewish woman just like themselves. Elina lives right here in Kew Gardens Hills and understands the busy life of a working mom well, as she strives to give her two young sons a wholesome frum upbringing. Her family regularly attends Rabbi Rafael Zavulunov’s Congregation Ohr HaTorah, where they grow in Torah and mitzvot.
Stop by Sova and indulge in the ultimate personalized relaxation experience with their array of luxurious spa and skin services in calming, stress-free surroundings. Their highly-skilled therapists offer a range of customized treatments that will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and your body feeling completely relaxed. From customized facials that have recently been introduced to Swedish and deep-tissue body massages to help exfoliate, Sova has everything you need to pamper yourself and restore your inner glow with a renewed and refreshed look.
Elina brings over a dozen years of expertise to her shop. She opened Signature Style on the Upper West Side when she was just 21 and handled all kinds of clients, from everyday Jewish women to producers and celebrities. Success breeds success, and Elina’s second venture, Signature Styles East, on 88th Street and 3rd Avenue on the Upper East Side, brought a whole new clientele. But the desire to raise her family brought Elina to sell her prized salons shortly before the pandemic took hold. Today, Elina and her trained technicians seek to provide our community with quick and painless beautifying experiences. From shaping and defining eyebrows to hair-free skin, Sova is the answer for your beauty needs.
Sova offers effortless waxing, lash fillers, and a variety of manicures including classic, powder, long-lasting gel, and now the sought-after intricate Russian manicures too! Enjoy absolute seclusion and modesty behind a high walled mechitzah as you have your hair color done and experience a simultaneous deluxe spa pedicure ensuring that every moment spent on yourself is used to the max. Your hands and skin will feel smoother and appear brighter and more youthful by the time you run back to your busy schedule.
