Last Saturday, I had no weekend-getaway plans to I decided to just spend it by pampering my tired hands & feet. I remember seeing this new salon near the parking area of Trinoma, so I decided to give it a try. Since it was real early, I was their first customer - you know there's always a pressure being the first customer, its like you're setting their sale situation for the day.
Anyhoo, the receptionist that greeted me was very kind & accommodating. I asked her what she can recommend as what I basically wanted was a foot spa/scrub of some sort. She recommended their Foot Spa package - which already consists of pedicure, foot scrub & massage. And all these 3 for just Php 450.00.
They also offer different kinds of scrub, oil & massage you can choose from; but if you're too lazy to select - then they do have a ready package you can choose from. I was so tired from my night shift that day so I just opted to choose from the ready list. I chose Easy Sunday Afternoon package which includes:
- Peppermint Scrub
- Lemongrass Mask
- Lavender Oil
- Swedish Massage
- Pedicure inc. of regular nail polish
Before I get to the service, entering the main area really amazed me. Their salon was so homey, and true to their business name, its as if you are inside a kitchen.

| Center table with fake cupcakes on top |

| Comfy couch sets |
 |
| Work area is very spacious |
Small pots/pans hanging on the wall, a refrigerator where they store their top of the line nail polish, even the tools they use for mani & pedi like a pan to soak your feet in, syringe to dispense their cuticle remover, etc. SOOO COOL :)

Easy Sunday Afternoon
1. First, they soaked my feet in a frying pan with hot water. One of the crew used literally a whisk to I guess mix the soap & hot water before they ask me to dip my feet in it.
2. After soaking, Anne started to apply the Peppermint Scrub on my legs. The peppermint smell was relaxing alone. 
3. Then they wrapped my legs & feet with a clear cling wrap plastic foil. Anne describe this as baking. She had my legs & part of my feet baked for around 10-15 minutes.4. While my legs are 'baking', she started working on my toe nails. I was so amazed how they are using simple kitchen tools on their mani/pedi service. She used a syringe to dispense a gel-form cuticle remover (this was my first time to try a gel-like form so I was so amazed) & a salt & pepper shaker to dispense alcohol. I also admire them for sanitizing all their tools before every service.
5. After my legs & feet have been fully baked, they took out the cling wrap foil by massaging a hot towel first. After removing the foil, they soaked my legs & feet again on a frying pan with hot water.
6. Next was my favorite part. The MASSAGE. Anne applied the Lavender oil & massage my legs & feet. HEAVEN.
7. The last part was of course the continuation of the pedicure itself. I paid an extra Php 60.00 for a Zoya nail polish. The package actually includes the basic nail polish already but if you want to try some high-end / organic nail polish - it will cost you extra Php 60.00 that you can use for both hands & feet.
Classic Manicure
Cost: Php 145 inc. of regular nail polish1. First, they will ask to soak your nails on baking tray with hot water & soap.
2. The usual manicure process
They have a separate blower/heater to quick dry the hands & feet; very hygenic & useful especially if you are in a hurry.
Overall, my experience on this salon was incredibly awesome. All 5 stars for the staff, 5 stars for the excellent services and 5 stars for their tools/equipment/interior design.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place & will definitely go back.
They currently have 2 branches:
- Trinoma: located at the 3rd floor near Mindanao Parking Entrance & beside Sony shop
- Alabang Town Center: UG Commerce Ave. Entrance, Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa City
