Healthy Alternatives

I am a customer care devotee… so if a business is remiss or negligent in this aspect of running their enterprise, I shop elsewhere. I drove all the way over to this location Saturday 12/​26, the morning after Christmas. The sign on the door stated the store opened at 9:00AM. I arrived at 10:12AM and the place was clearly closed. There was no notice as to a change in schedule or any special hours due to the holiday. As I waited to see if someone would show up to open, several other cusomers came by and were clearly confused and annoyed at the situation. I called the number listed for the shop and a recorded message did nothing more than say the store was open 7 days a week. Again, no mention of any change in hours. So, clearly, though this is a service oriented business, service is not what they are about. This shop was recommended by a friend who asked to be updated on my shopping experience. Clearly, I will not be offering a positive account. I will be taking my business to a place where the customer comes first. period!

Adorable little gem nestled in the heart of Babylon village. I usually visit when I’m waiting for kotobuki to open… They have something for everyone in here, including kids (they have a nice section for them). Anyway, they have cute little bracelets and necklaces ranging from Alex and ani, lokai, strength, and positivity… We came in here to find something for my moms friends daughter, she recently lost her mom. They have stuff in here that is perfect for that, we ended up getting her this really perfect strength necklace.
they have perfect greeting cards for every occasion. Those little rocks that have cute words on them. Just come in here and check it out. The staff seems pretty nice and on top of their customers.

I like this store. They have lots of cute stuff for sale that you can’t find just anywhere. I love the cute greeting cards and have bought many for friends who have loved them. I have also bought several Alex and Ani bracelets here for friends that they have all loved.
They sell an array of jewelry, and other unique gifts for friends and loved ones (and yourself too, of course). They offer massages and facials but I have yet to experience their services here so unfortunately I can’t comment on them… but hopefully one day soon.
If you’re in town, definitely stop in. The salespeople are nice and helpful, and I doubt you’ll leave empty handed.

One of my favorite places in Babylon Village. Really friendly safe, always super helpful. Every time I go there for a gift they show me new merchandise and it’s usually something that i like better.
Always get my Alex and Ani bracelets here. They have a really good selection and make it convenient if you need to exchange or return.
I’ve also been here for a massage where I had Kathleen who was amazing!
Highly recommend

Please DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! I purchased a FAKE amber teething necklace for my baby here and when I notified the owner she was nothing but rude! No apologies or anything… The thought that I almost put a cheap PLASTIC ($ 25) necklace around my babies neck makes me sick!!! No quality control at this shop.

I love getting facials from here. I love their holistic approach and also last time I went she even massaged my feet. It was awesome.

The acupuncture offering (& singular Unilocal characterization) surprised me, but they do have a spread of vitamins, at prices to which I’m not keen. Babylon Village is overflowing with obese frequenters, a curious paradox considering all the places like this, but I guess they couldn’t possibly be a detrimental presence in the ‘hood. I got the uppity «what I don’t know is not worth knowing» essence to it from the employee whom I asked about a supplement, and nothing thrilled me, and do I really need your boutique OTC drugs? No, so I won’t be back.

Great friendly place! They offer so much that I wasn’t aware of!
In addition to the inspirational items in the store they have services such as Massages, Acupuncture, Facials (some of the most superb facials you’ll ever get!), and Holistic Nutritional Counseling. All of this in the heart of Babylon Village… who knew?
I had a Vino-​therapy Facial there recently which is composed of extracts from grapes. As far as I know they are the only place on LI to do that type of facial. OMG!!! It was a 1 hr. hands on facial… the Esthetician never left the room and she also massaged my feet, hands, and shoulders! My face felt like a porcelain and I literally felt like I was floating.
The staff was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. The items in the store all have different stories and lives to them and are either recycled, made by local artisans, or give back to a particular community in some way.
Awesome. Can’t wait to go back.
