I came here for a mani/pedi. It is a small but inviting space with little hits of Nepalese/Indian decorations. The receptionist is just lovely. They bring you to a small waiting area to until they are ready to take you and offer you tea (which comes with a truffle! yummy). While I couldn't see it, I think there is one of those machines that makes calming water sounds...well it sounded like whatever it was, was broken. It wasn't calming to me.
The room in which they do the mani/pedis is small - about 3 places for a pedi and 2 places for a mani. The pedi sinks are really nice but that's about it. The room is a bit stark and there is the waxing equipment and other equipment in the room, so anytime someone needs something they are in here. It does the job well, but if you are really looking for that cozy spa experience you won't get it in this room. Not that it's a bad thing at all, but just depends on what you expect.
When they are done they lead you back out to the waiting lounge for tips and toes to dry. There is no machine to dry them...you just basically air dry them. This is the first place where I have not used a machine. Maybe it's not a good thing to use a machine? But it did feel weird to sit in the lounge with the other people waiting for their appointments
Everyone who worked here was nice. The other reviews rave about the massages, which I didn't get, but I am tempted to try them at some point. I live a bit too far to come here on a regular basis, maybe if I lived close by I might stop in b/c overall there is nothing particularly wrong with this place, i think I was just expecting something else
