It never fails... I cannot accurately find this building at night. I tried using the Arlington Tower as a landmark but tonight storm clouds formed an ominous backdrop and the Arlington blended right into them. So I made a u turn and popped back around. A nice gentleman told me that I could park at the eye care center and from there it was a short walk to the facade of the salon. I spoke with the valet for a few minutes then opened the door. It's amazing what a difference there is in the ambiance of the salon at night versus during the day. At night the space seems more intimate and ethereal. My therapist tonight is Aly. I arrived fairly early and was escorted upstairs. There was some sort of party going on. I'm sitting in a wing back chair watching.
Aly came & got me & we moved into the Moroccan room. Its at the front of the salon upstairs. I sat in a high back arm chair & took off my socks & shoes. I put my feet in a tub of hot sudsy water & away we went. We started with a pedicure. I'm not really sure about the exact sequence of steps because it made me feel so good, but I'll try and give an outline. First my feet soaked in the sudsy water. Then the nails had all the dirt & lint removed from underneath them. Next the cuticles were shaped. Then the callouses were removed. The nails were trimmed and buffed and a eucalyptus masque was applied as well as a salt scrub. The scrub was purple & sparkly! My feet were then massaged & a matte finish was applied to my toes. At some stage my feet were wrapped in hot towels.
The same process was done to my hands. The result was amazing. I actually felt a lot better than when I had initially walked in & the good feelings continue. Re Salon is definitely the place to go whether you're a first timer or you routinely use spa services. Until next time...
