Jonda White's Spaology Expands

Larger Space, More Services 

 At Spaology in Hillcrest 

     Jonda White has doubled the space of her Spaology Nail Spa and More in Hillcrest.

     Mrs. White has expanded Spaology into the space next door to her shop at 3000 Kavanaugh Boulevard.

    The new area includes salon space and a makeup corner.

     "I will be doing makeup, and Chauna Anderson, our esthetician, will be doing makeup.  And she will be doing facials and waxing also.  We will be making our own scrubs.  Her facial products will be all natural and organic."

    The original space is getting a makeover itself, with four new pedicure chairs and four new manicure tables.

    "And we are setting ourselves apart from other salons by using disposable pumice stones, files and buffers, as well as disposable bags for pedicure chairs. We're doing this for sanitary reasons, as well as helping people feel more comfortable." 

     The shop will also be offering body waxing and eyelash extensions.

     Jonda has been in business for 20 years in Little Rock, and many of her customers have followed her from place to place during those moves.

     Her clients include some of the most influential women in the state.  They have said that in their travels to some of the finest resorts where they have paid top dollar they have never gotten better manicures and pedicures than they receive from Jonda  at Spalogy. 

    And it's not just her talent that they admire.

    Barbara Pryor, former First Lady of Arkansas and wife of former U.S. Senator David Pryor, said in a 2012 interview, "She is not only a great nailologist, … she is such a good person.  I love her and think of her as a good friend."

     Mrs. Pryor said she'd been with Jonda through some trials over the years, including breast cancer.

    "She is a breast cancer survivor.  All through everything, she just keeps working.  She is a hard worker.  I admire her so.  She is one of the most deserving people I know.  She deserves every success, every happiness,"

Barbara said. 

     Others in the that March 2012 Shoppe Talk story talked about her calming spirit, strong 

work ethic, determined nature, upbeat manner and attention to detail.  

    "Jonda is not a complainer.  Things are right in her world, not wrong.  And what is wrong, she confronts with equanimity. …  She is just a really neat lady," said Dr. Roslyn L. Knutson, professor emerita in the Department of English a the University of Arkansas.

     "I am so excited, and I am proud of myself," Jonda said in June.  "Over the years, clients and family members have bragged on me, but I didn't know.  Now I can say finally I am here.  I am thoroughly where I wanted to be 13 years ago."
