Nina's Herbal Salon - A Shahnaz Husain Franchise Salon by Nina Lamba Commack

The salon describes itself as the first Shahnaz Husain franchise salon in the United States, and the Hicksville location is described as the first International Franchise of Shahnaz Husain in the USA serving the tri-state region. The salon describes Shahnaz Husain as an international pioneer in herbal beauty and skin care.

The menu is built around herbal and Ayurvedic facials, using Shahnaz Husain herbal products. Options range from a 30-minute Express Mini Facial, which covers basic cleansing, exfoliation, a mask and hydration without extractions, to a 75-minute Ayurvedic Diamond Facial that the salon describes as an age-control treatment. A 45-minute Herbal Deep Cleansing Facial adds toning, massage and extractions, and the Anti Acne Facial is a 60-minute treatment aimed at acne. Microdermabrasion is also offered as a 60-minute treatment.

Bridal services are a large part of the business. They include bridal hair, makeup and draping, pre-bridal services, nikah and walima services, and a Pre-Bridal Package with full body waxing, a facial and a hot oil massage. Services are also offered for bridesmaids and bridal parties, and bridal consultations are arranged by calling the salon directly.

Beyond facials and bridal work, the salon offers haircuts and styling, from professional styling to cuts, along with natural vegetable hair color and vegetable henna. Makeup is available for parties, proms and bridal occasions, threading is done on the eyebrows, chin or full face, and a full line of waxing services is offered in a private setting. Online booking is available through Fresha, and gift cards can be bought online.

The salon works with herbal and Ayurvedic methods, using Shahnaz Husain herbal skin care and vegetable-based hair color and henna, which the salon says contain no PPD, ammonia or peroxides.
