Both a salon and a boutique, Marmalade features the best of both worlds, welcoming fashion and beauty gurus alike, providing hair, nail and makeup services and its very own collection of cutesy jewelry, clothing, home décor and other fun trinkets and gifts. The shop’s vibrantly colorful interior complementing its playful, beachy merchandise makes for an intriguing and inviting greeting upon visitors’ arrival–as does the weekly sale rack out front.

While Marmalade’s products price quite reasonably, bargain hunters can still look forward to striking gold with marvelous deals and steals. Sale items range from sweaters and cover-ups to sun dresses and handbags. The sales do change; items on the rack might cost $10 one week and then be marked 50% off the next­, and they are often snatched rather quickly–all the reason to stop in more frequently!

Whether you drop by for sun-kissed highlights and a manicure, or to simply explore the boutique’s trendy knick-knacks, a visit to Marmalade lives up to its namesake–sweet and satisfying­.
