| - Today I had the luxury of having the day unchained from the cubicle and was able to spend my hours with one of my favorite girls at this spa. I requested the Massage, Pedicure and facial package, but something happened in the communication chain and I was booked for a massage, pedicure and manicure. They tried to tell me it was because I requested the Results package -- but that one included a facial not a massage, so not really sure what happened there. My lovely had also hoped for the facial service and was booked in for a massage too. Super First World Problems, right?
So, looking past this mix up, we opted to make the best of what we were schedule for. The massage was okay. The masseuse listened to what I hoped for and made note of the areas I hoped she would concentrate on. Her technique was good, the ambiance was not so fabulous. I am spoiled from other spas I think. I like having scented candles or aromatherapy of some sort to soothe me. I like the lights dimmer. I prefer my music slightly quieter and I don't care to hear the rumblings of Crate and Barrel's storage room shake the walls.
After the massage I went for my manicure and pedicure and although I didn't expect to have a manicure, the girl was great. She indulged my pinterest inspired need to have an accent nail and even fixed it twice for me. My lovely friend joined me for the pedicure portion and we got to giggle and gossip the hour away, I like that they gift you with the sample bottle of the colour you chose for your fingers and toes, I loved the paraffin wax treatment.. We were told to go and change back into our street clothes before they painted our toe nails to ensure they wouldn't be smudged which was a smart move (although as I have been spoiled at other spas, I would have been okay lounging in my housecoat while sipping cucumber and lemon water too if that was an option).
Overall, this is a pretty bare bones spa. The change room is teeny tiny, the "lounge area is fairly cramped and there is no self serve for water or tea (that I was made aware of anyway). The lights are too bright for relaxation, the music too loud. And the receptionist would walk in from the salon area and her heels would clack on the wood floor causing a distraction from a moment of tranquility. If you are opting for a whole day experience, I would look elsewhere. This place is okay if you are seeking the experience of a more upscale manicure/pedicure.
