Sherry's Beauty World Unisex Salon
Charlestown's go-to unisex salon for hair, nails, and a proper Nevisian catch-up
Why Go
Tucked on Lower Government Road in the heart of Charlestown, Sherry's is where locals slip in for a wash-and-set, a fresh manicure, or a pre-wedding blowout ΓÇö and end up staying an extra hour for the gossip.
The Experience
Owner Sherry Gajor has built a warm, no-fuss neighborhood salon that welcomes men, women, expats, and cruise-day visitors alike. The vibe is friendly and unhurried in that classic Nevisian way ΓÇö expect easy conversation, other clients waving hello, and a soundtrack that swings from soca to gospel depending on the day. It's a small operation, so you're getting personal attention rather than a spa-chain conveyor belt, and the pricing is refreshingly local rather than resort-inflated. Walk out looking sharp for dinner at Bananas or a beach-club afternoon, without the Four Seasons markup.
What to Try
Book a wash, blow-dry, and style if you've been battling Caribbean humidity ΓÇö Sherry's team knows how to tame island frizz. The manicure-pedicure combo using Tammy Taylor products is a local favorite, and they carry Iman cosmetics for touch-ups that actually suit deeper skin tones. Waxing and brow shaping are also on the menu, and the barbering side handles clean fades and beard tidy-ups for the guys.
Insider Tip
Call ahead ΓÇö 869-469-1439 ΓÇö especially on Fridays and Saturdays when Charlestown fills up with wedding parties and ferry-day traffic from St. Kitts. If you're a yacht guest or villa renter, ask about arranging a same-day appointment; Sherry is often willing to squeeze you in if you're flexible on timing. Bring small EC bills; card handling on-island can be hit or miss.
The Practical Stuff
Location: Lower Government Road, Charlestown, Nevis. Phone: 869-469-1439. Walk-ins accepted when the chair is open, but appointments are strongly recommended. Cash (EC or USD) is the smoothest way to pay.
