I have recently returned home from a day of Manila pampering(an early birthday gift from Ian)
Started out with a hair cut from Fix Salon on commonwealth Av. It is a mid level hair salon chain. They say that they do nails and other such things, but I would recommend you stick just to hair cuts. It takes about and hour, you get a nice hair wash and blow-dry as well as the haircut. They did a great job and the hair cut is under P200( $4 USD)
Fix Salon is inside a small commercial center and just one space over is a nice nail salon where I got a mani-pedi package for p300. They women do a nice job, the paint is of average quality and the space is set up a bit awkwardly, but comfortable.
Next I went to Dr.Estebans Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology Clinic. I had a personal consultation with the Dr, and an amazing facial. The facial come with a short neck and shoulder massage with the whole process lasting around an hour. It costs p550 and comes with a free bar of soap! You can e-mail them at estabanjoseph@yahoo.com
I than literally walked next door to Lay Bare Waxing Studio. They have waxing package deals starting around p700, you can also have individual waxing done. Lay Bare offers a customer loyalty card and for ever four visits you get a p100 discount. Lay Bare is another mid level chain. The one near Shopwise on Commonwealth is in need of an interior paint job, that aside, the women were very professional and did a good job (not 100%). During the waxing they have the AC on at a really nice temperature, and each space has a TV on the wall so you can watch a music video and be a bit distracted ;)
I am now home feeling very pampered and just pleased with my whole experience. All in all it cost around p2500 or $50USD and consumed about 5 hrs of my day, really a great time!
