Nails at Home --- highly recommended!

When it comes to nail pampering, I've tried almost every place in the Metro. For the longest time, I was a very loyal client of Nail Spa at the Shang Mall. That is, until my favorite nail technician left to join Lotus Spa at the Podium Mall. When going to Ortigas Center just to get my nails done proved to be more of a hassle than an opportunity to de-stress, I settled for a neighborhood/village salon which, of course, was nowhere near the places I mentioned in terms of ambience and comfort. But they were able to do their job at cleaning my hands and feet just the same. When we rented out our townhouse in that village, I began to look for another salon near my house in Mandaluyong. I didn't find the ideal salon right away so I would go to places like CANS, Piandre Salon or whatever else I could find. I later on found Strands along Shaw Blvd. (in between Goldilock's and Red Ribbon) and I was impressed because they had all the nail polish brands that I love.

Recently though, I read about Nails at Home in the papers. Because I now spend 90% of my time within the walls of my house taking care of my family, it's become a chore to step out of the house just to get a manicure, pedicure and footspa. So I decided to go for home service this time and tried them out. BOY DID I LOVE IT!!!

My very first experience turned out to be so worth it, I've already called them back a second time. For a mani-pedi that's done right in the comforts of your own home for just P300, who's to complain??? An additional 200 something would get you a Foot Spa service to boot. I don't know what took me so long but I'm convinced this is how I want things done for now.

The best part is...I can completely tune out while my nails are being done. I lock myself up in my TV room, turn on the airconditioner and watch a movie on DVD while the nail technician works on me hee hee! This is heaven for pamper freaks like myself!

My newest discovery

I recently heard about NAILS AT HOME, a home-service salon that's been around for the past 2 years. I was surprised they've been in business that long and never knew of them before. Anyway, yesterday was really so TOXIC for me and up to very early this morning I was still running around like a headless chicken. So when I got home at lunchtime, I felt like every ounce of blood had been drained and my body was just screaming for some good old pampering. I remember saving their number in my cellphone so I called hoping that I could still set an appointment. Luckily, they had a vacant slot at 5pm. Goody! I had time to take a nap so that's exactly what I did.

At 10 past 5, Angie of NAILS AT HOME rang the doorbell and I ushered her in. She had this huge plastic box with wheels and a long handle that contained all her paraphernalia. The TV room on my 2nd floor is the quietest room in the house. We also had the windows insulated to make the room really dark and cozy (Angie had a desklamp with her so I didn't have to turn on the main lights --- what a girl scout!). Our ever reliable La-Z-Boy sits in that room so it was the perfect place for me to get that much-needed pampering.

I asked for a manicure, pedicure and footspa and boy, did I LOVE it! She asked me beforehand if I wanted nail polish and I said yes. They have Essie, Opi, Revlon, Sally Hansen among others so I told her which shade and brand to bring. I opted for a very deep red shade from Opi this time. Angie is good! I don't have any knicks or those small wounds you normally get from technicians you're not familiar with. Application is really clean as well.

You won't believe how much I shelled out for all of that AND in the comforts of my very own home. Just 550 bucks (exclusive of tip) for all three services. In the salon I've been frequenting, I pay the same amount but I have to drive to get there, of course. This was my first time to have all of these done at home but I can see this is one habit I'm going to have a hard time kicking.
