Mommy's Day Out: Pampering at Nailsand Spa

If you know me really well, you'd know that I'm not entirely a fan of salons. Through the years, I only have my nails done when I have an important event to go to, like weddings and parties, and on ordinary days, my nails go au naturel or I clean and put polish myself.

My nails used to be so short, ugly and hideous. I couldn't find a decent salon here in Dasmariñas which I liked. Most of the attendants from the salons that I tried didn't have gentle hands and I usually ended up getting stressed out instead of getting relaxed.

Well, that is before I discovered Nailsand Spa. They just opened last March and their salon's ambiance can be compared to those high end ones minus the overly expensive cost of services. Although compared to the usual salons offering a 50 peso manicure service, Nailsand Spa's services do cost is a little higher. But I say from experience that the services, their attention to detail, the way they keep their tools clean and the  friendliness of the staff and owner are all worth a few extra pesos.

My therapists for the day: Roselle and Marilyn. I love that they have masks on
and they do look nice in uniform.

What I love about Nailsand:

• they play relaxing instrumental music in the background 
• they sterilize their tools after every client
• they use good quality nail polishes like BNC, OPI and Orly
• they use white, clean towels
• they have friendly staff and owner
• they make sure your seat, the pillows, your position are all comfortable
• they ask if what they're doing is okay, if anything hurts or if they cut your nails just the way you like it 

I'm so, so glad Nailsand Spa opened up a branch near our place. This way, I get to have my nails done at a fraction of a price yet experience a wonderful pampering session and a much deserved mommy's day out anytime I feel like it.

I sincerely pray they get plenty of customers and business will always be good so they don't have to close shop or transfer elsewhere.

Two thumbs up for Nailsand Spa!

A very happy customer,

R&R: Spa on the Go

source

The husband and I have been planning to have a couple's massage for the last 3 or so weeks. We just didn't have the time until last weekend when we both cannot handle our back aches any longer, add to that the leg pains that we had after we went jogging the morning of last Sunday.

So after grocery shopping last Sunday afternoon, we headed straight to the Spa near our home. Spa on the Go in Dasmariñas, Cavite will fool you from the outside. It sure looked smaller but you'd be surprised once you're inside as they have a lot of rooms and they even have a sauna room. I was not allowed to take pictures of the interior and when I asked the receptionist why, she just told me it's because they are just a franchise. I didn't get it, but oh well, no pictures. :(

While we were waiting at the reception area, a lady took our blood pressure and then our feet were washed in separate basins by our respective massage therapists. We were then given a pair of closed rubber slippers each (which I find icky, btw) and were ushered to the couple's room.

We chose an hour of foot and body massage in the combination of Swedish and Shiatsu. Our massage therapists left us for a while to give us time to change into the two pair of shorts that we were provided with. Mine is huge but I didn't asked it to be replaced anymore since I will be lying down the entire time.

The massage started with our therapists stating the time that we started and the time that the service will end. They massaged our feet first then massaged their way up to our scalps. I loved the foot massage the best while the body massage is just okay. Not really great because my back is still aching when we went home. Also, I'd much rather have the sound of flowing water as my background music instead of classical music. I get relaxed more when I listen to it.

As for the husband, while we were still being massaged and I was about to ask him what he thinks, I suddenly heard snoring (which he vehemently denied when we're on the way home). So, I think he liked the massage pretty well. :)

My rating: three out of five stars. I commend the friendly staff, the great lighting, the foot massage and the comfy beds but they should change their icky slippers and their background music. But then, these are just my personal thoughts.

Would I visit again? Probably, if only for the foot massage.
