| - I've been looking for a replacement for 10 Spot for a while because I find that (franchise of) spa(s) became way too mainstream, i.e. busy and LOUD. This place uses Dermalogica, Skinceuticals, and O.P.I. products - all of which are my preference. I've just come home from having 3 services done, actually: a wax, their signature pedicure and their classic manicure.
The wax was quick and done very well! I'm always relieved when an aesthetician puts light pressure on your skin immediately after waxing the area, not everyone thinks to do that but it reduces the painful sting.
The main difference between their signature and classic -cures is that the former includes a paraffin treatment. I had never tried paraffin prior, so figured I'd add it to my pedi and I'm impressed at how much softer my feet are now - I will definitely keep that up over the summer while my feet are more exposed on the regular!
I stuck with the classic mani because, meh, I don't care about my hands that much (ha). Regardless, the polish job on fingers and toes look great. I don't remember my aesthetician's name was Olga but I'm not sure. She was young and blonde, and super friendly. I was very relaxed and almost fell asleep a bunch of times. She also helped me put on my shoes and jacket after my nails were done.
The interior of the spa itself is subtly feminine, with an equally subtle Moroccan vibe. I liked the quiet atmosphere, a lot. Very relaxing yoga music in the background. Again, almost fell asleep a bunch of times.
I'm recommending this spa to all my girlfriends (and reposting this review everywhere I can) and I will definitely be back. The prices are on point, i.e. very, very reasonable.
