Affordable Luxury!

I usually go to Lay Bare in Katipunan to get my monthly underarm waxing and eyebrow threading, and I've been wanting to try Nail It Salon. It was just last July when I first tried their pedicure service — and there I  knew that I would be a regular customer here.


C'mon! Look at this place! It's so cozy and I really like their purple motif!

Since my toenails were already shouting for a pedicure, I decided to drop by before going to Gateway to watch Ang Babae sa Septic Tank with my boyfriend.  

This is where I placed my feet while doing the service — and look how comfortable it is! And even their towels are purple! Heh.

And here's Ate Mimie doing the pedicure. (And say hello to my ugly feet!) Lol. It's my 2nd time here and I never experienced any pain while they're cleaning my nails — unlike with other  salons that would sometimes injure (with blood!) my toenails! Ate Mimie would often ask me if it hurts, or if I feel comfortable — so that's an A+ on their customer service.

They also offered me their magazines proactively. I picked up YES! latest copy about  Top 20 Celebrity Endorsers. John Lloyd's the 2nd top celebrity endorser here in country — next to Kris Aquino, of course. And mind you, this guy's rate is 6-8 million per endorsement! OMG, right? 

And of course, Sarah Geronimo! Heh. But why only 9th spot? Lol, fangirl lang!

They even have nail dryers. I am a cheapskate so the usual pedicure salons that I go to don't have this. Lol.


And speaking of cheap price, their pedicure service would just cost you P120! But if you would like them to put a nail polish, you would just add P100. So that's just P220 for a superb pedicure service! Did I mention they only use ORLY and The Face Shop nail polish? They also don't use Merthiolate which is good, I think, cos of its harmful composition.


Am I over-promoting this salon? Lol. So if you're a regular of Lay Bare, try dropping by Nail It Salon. They have the same owner, so that explains why they both offer an affordable, yet luxurious salon experience!


P.S.


I just recently discovered that Moonleaf Tea Shop already has a branch in Katipunan (Esteban Abada, near McDonald's) so I dropped by to grab a glass of their Wintermelon Milk Tea! And they would soon open in Valero, Makati  — which is just a few steps away from my workplace! 

I love my neighborhood!
