I took advantage of this first day back from a loooong weekend away with my in-laws in a place with no cell reception to get a relaxing 80 minute spa ritual pedicure at Violet Hour salon. When I came in, I was 45 minutes early and had no idea I would be able to use the spa facilities too!
I got comfy in my robe and got a quick tour. Because I was unprepared for this trip, I guess I am lucky it is clothing optional! (women have our own space, fear not!) - it was definitely quiet in the morning. I took a dip in the large jacuzzi and checked out the cool mist room. Very nice, but not as cool as qua's snowy soapflakes. I took a quick shower and went to the vanity area. There were not as many products as I expected and the lone lotion bottle was empty. My technician popped in early so I was able to get started before my appointment.
Jennifer is awesome - I highly recommend her. She told me about the 3 types of pedicures I could choose from, so I chose the moisturizing and exfoliating. After a soak, I got scrubbed with an exfoliating scrub and painted with a moisturizing masque on my legs and feet, which were covered by hot towels. The massage chair kept me relaxed throughout. I picked a beautiful copper color polish (my favorite)!
Jennifer and I had a lot to talk about - we both are foodies. We chatted a lot and I got hungrier as I prepared for my first visit to Estiatorio Milos and the famous 3 course lunch deal. In the end, I sat for 20 minutes to dry my feet and got to keep the toe separator thingies. This was definitely a nice treat.
I had a slight issue with check-out - I was overcharged and noticed once my credit card was run. I got the difference put back on the card immediately, but not without a little persistence on my end. However, everyone was pleasant on staff that I encountered.
