Like I previously stated in my last blogpost, I decided to pamper myself physically on my birthday month. I wanted to start with my long awaited pedicure. Why pedicure and not with manuciure too? I would like to think that I take a decent care of my hands and fingernails plus, I always feel my hands go back to "normal" state quickly since I do household chores.
Now, as for my feet, they need plenty of loving. I don't have the serious before transformation Russian nails like in @NailSunny from IG. (check them out of you haven't) I do try my best trimming my toenails, clear my cuticles, moisturise them once in a while and attempt at getting rid of my calluses. Yet, they are still subpar, at least to my eyes.
I didn't have much planned on my pedicure. I figured, I just try my luck by visiting a random nail salon and see if there is an opening on the spot. Over the weekend, I did eyed JasonSally at Tampines Hub but that didn't work out well. The next day, I tried Nailz Treats at Bedok Mall.
I had to wait 1 hour for availability so Jhon, Sarah and I just walked around the mall. While walking, I noticed there is also Nailz Treats Plus and they had a promotion of Classic Mani & Pedi at SGD55. Kwang Kwang.. I could've have a better deal but nevermind.
The ambience at Nailz Treats was pretty standard in comparison to all the nail salons I've passed by. It was small yet cozy with several nail techs busy with their customers.
I had Ms. May attended to me. She asked if I wanted color (for my nails) which I sheepishly said no, wondering if it was weird not wanting nails to be painted at a nail salon.
Since I asked for a classic pedicure, I had the standard soak, nail trimming, cuticle cutting, buffing of my soles, feet scrub and plenty of moisturising. One word to describe my experience, gentle.
May was gentle with my feet despite the work she had to do with my size 8 mildly loved feet. Usually the cuticle and under toenail cleaning hurts a teeny bit but it didn't this time!
Oh, and yes, my mango sticky rice Sarah did get upset for a while as Jhon and her walked away. Get used to it, little lady because I will be going for a spa appointment for 2 hours. Haha
Anyways, my general experience was a 7.8 out of 10. I was satisfied and happy with how ridiculously clean and neat my toes looked. There was a little of selling of packages but it was not really a super hard sell. The cashier was a little persistant and in a friendly way so it was not a big of a deal.
One thing for sure, I didn't regret going for it and now I can't wait for my spa!
