Savvy Nail Salons: Byuti Salon and Spa

Byuti Photo 2Downtown Sacramento is abuzz with government employees surrounding the State Capitol during the work week. And while the streets are far emptier on the weekends, one business is still bustling: Byuti Salon & Spa, a full-service salon that caters to politicians and artists alike. Owner Jill Petersen is a hairstylist who opened the salon with the idea of providing high-quality services in a hip and trendsetting environment. Understanding the need for nails, Petersen called upon local nail guru and former colleague Minnie Engelhard to take over the tip department. And with that, Engelhard has transformed Byuti into, as she describes it, “an alluring space where clients can kick off their shoes, relax and spill their guts.”
