You woke up, pulled back the curtain, and — yep. Rain. Classic Carolina Beach summer storm. We know that sinking feeling. But here's the thing: a rainy day on the island doesn't have to be a lost day. In fact, some of our favorite clients will tell you that rainy beach days turned into their best vacation memories — because they finally had an excuse to slow down and treat themselves. And that's where Noe Hair & Nail Lounge comes in. ## Turn a Gray Day into a Glow-Up While the rain clears (and it usually does here on the Carolina coast), come spend a couple hours being pampered at our lounge. You'll walk in with damp weather hair and walk out ready to hit the boardwalk the moment the sun returns. Here's what we recommend for the perfect rainy day visit: - Gel Manicure & Pedicure Combo — Long-lasting color that'll look great for the rest of your trip. Our acrylic-free policy means clean, natural nails that actually breathe. - Blowout or Curl Refresh — Humidity and beach hair got you feeling less than your best? Our stylists will have you beach-ready the moment that sun comes back out. - Color Service — Have a couple hours? A rainy day is the perfect time to finally do that balayage touch-up or gloss treatment you've been putting off. You'll leave glowing. - Scalp Treatment or Deep Conditioning — Salt water and sun are tough on hair. Give it some love with a nourishing treatment using our Kevin Murphy or Innersense products. ## Other Rainy Day Things to Do in Carolina Beach While you're planning your day, here are a few other Carolina Beach spots that are great in the rain: - Fort Fisher Aquarium — About 10 minutes south, it's one of the best aquariums on the NC coast and a perfect rainy day outing for families. - Carolina Beach State Park Nature Center — Explore exhibits and learn about the local Venus flytrap habitat. - Local Dining — Some of CB's best restaurants are less crowded on rainy days. It's the perfect time to try a new spot. - The Boardwalk Shops — Browse local boutiques and pick up something to take home. ## But First — Come See Us Noe Hair & Nail Lounge is right here in Carolina Beach and we love being the best part of a rainy vacation day. Our lounge is calm, welcoming, and the kind of place where you instantly relax the moment you walk in.
