| - A Mani/Pedi lying down? weird. Was told it was aimed at a 'spa experience' for enjoyment & relaxation. I have to say I wasn't (and couldn't) get relaxed lying down on a treament massage table getting my nails done. A silk eye mask was placed over my eyes but i felt claustiphobic & after a few minutes and removed it.
Oh, and get this: you have to undress (like for a massage) and put robe on before getting your nails done. I immediately foresaw the furture of getting dressed later & almost refused changing. OK, so how the HECK r u suppose to get dressed afterwards with tacky nails??? ya, that was fun - i got all stressed out thinking about it. Then heart pulpatations began when leaving: I had to pull clothing out of the locker, & do up zippers, buttons, ect. (that was quite a feat).
I am giving 3 stars because it does not effect the over-all rating system. and basically i am still mystified at the whole different experience.
1 star for no quiet, zen-like waiting room
2 stars for clothing hassle
3 stars for strange position
4 stars cleanliness
5 stars for end result.
3 stars - overall result
Yes, the end result was fabby, but i really do like massage chairs with your own private foot jacuzzi, reading a mag, listening to music, drinking some nector of some-sort.
Jenn H. aptly describes the rest the general spa experience the best - she hits it right on with her insightfulness. I've also been to many of the scottsdale resorts, so I do look forward to the whole resort spa experience where it's all quiet, darkened, candles, zen-like, aromatherapy aromas, & meditation rooms. This was totally oppisite.
Different strokes for different folks i guess. I'm just glad there's still dozens of other spas to experience here :-)+
