I tried Nailaholics Galleria yesterday. No choice ako kasi sarado pa ang Luxe (I get out of the office 10am kasi). Felt ripped off doon sa Php700 package nila which has footspa, mani and pedi. I can't help but compare sa Luxe.

1. Pricing

Yung Orly nail polish nila is additional 40 pesos. So kung gagamitin sa both hands and feet dagdag ka pa ng Php80 doon sa package. Yung sa Luxe wala pang Php500 binabayaran namin ni boyfie doon kasama na ang choice of nail polish mo, they only charge extra pag yung mga Chanel polishes ang gagamitin.

2. Location

Parang wala kang privacy since all-glass yung store. Whereas sa Luxe, hindi kita ng mga dumadaan sa harap nung store na kinakalal ang paa mo. LOL. Kasi nakaharap ka talaga doon sa hallway mismo.

3. Staff

Mabait naman yung staff, no complaints about it. Pero ang bigat ng kamay!
Courtesy is not expensive & can pay big dividends.

na try ko na Happy Nails. super okay ang massage at foot spa. kaso hindi magaling yung naglagay ng polish ko. nakikita ko yung lines. OC pa naman ako dun.

pero babalik ako. ibang technician pipiliin ko.

i like luxe galleria... i tried yung nail-aholics last week kasi tinatamad na ko mag basement and they had a promo (mani, footspa + pedi, whole leg waxing for 1200++) kasi... nakakainis lang super tagal imagine i was there like 11am natapos ako 4pm.. buti sana kung services yun kaso naman dahil yun sa walang room for waxing kasi nag over book sila.. tangap sila ng tangap eh wala naman pala ng room and waxer.. sheesh. tapos yung nag wax sakin nagmamadali pa super, ni hindi man lang nalinisan yung room na pinagwaxan as in may used towels pa nung client before me... tapos after waxing hindi nya pinacheck sakin if my tira.. tapos since yellow light di ko rin naman macheck ng maayos pag uwi ko nalang dami pa stray hairs...im so not going back.. rip off na parang pinapafeel pa sayo na utang na loob mong sinervican ka nila.. ugh.. sayang ganda pa naman ng decor nila and promo

^yep nail tropics pa rin ang the best for me sis :)

tried the manicure and pedicure+footspa+paraffin package in nail it glorietta last sunday,
hehe sinulit ko talaga yung visit ko.
the place and the service is ok naman
the footspa and paraffin are sulit and they have a good selection of orly polishes
two things lang na di ko nagustuhan, minadali yung manicure ko i had to call the nail tech back twice kasi hindi sagadsagad sa edges yung polish, oc pa naman talaga ko sa ganun.
sa pedicure, the nail tech didn't wait for my polish to dry before nya ko na-ok to go. As in after a minute pagkalagay ng top coat sabi pwede na.
Still, I'll give this place another chance kapag nasa glorietta ako baka minalas lang ako sa nail techs.

I used to go to Nail a Holics kaso hindi pare pareho service nila, pinaka ok for me is yung nasa Cash n Carry. Now super fan na ko ng Nail Tropics! tried yung sa Trinoma, kakaopen lang nila early this year and I had Mani and Pedi with spa for both hands and feet na for around 700php plus lang. Totally worth it! Mababait mga tech who assisted me. They even advised me to take off my jeans na lang kase I was wearing skin tight jeans that time wala sa plan ko magpapedi napadaan lang ako talaga and noticed na bago yun. Hehe. Sayang naman daw kasi if hindi abot sa binti yung scrub nila. They just gave me a towel to wrap around my waist. :)
No Expectations! No good or bad.

Nail Tropics for me too!

Nail It parang laging kulang sa tao na gagawa

Enza sa may katipunan imbyerna ako! pag pasok ko late afternoon walang client I saw mga 3 nail techs na nakaupo at nag kukuko ng sarili na, I thought na pag uupo na ako tatayo man lang sila at aayusin ang sarili nila. Aba hindi, deadma lang na parang walang client.. at tuloy tuloy sa pag kukuko ng sarili nila sa harap ko! imbyerna ako walk out nga ako  ;D

At least may price range na! Thank you!

If that's the case, cheaper than CANS which is very convenient for me kasi always may available na manicurist and super friendly ng sa front desk pero the manicurists... im so unhappy. They eat, talk, laugh, buy food(!) in between doing your nails and rough sila mag handle but I always end up there for convenience.

A little more expensive than LFI na sobrang happy ako sa manicurists kasi theyre gentle and hindi nagkukulitan while doing your nails pero the girls naman sa front desk. Oh my...

Sana meron ng mani pedi sa Bench Fix ATC! All the branches I'm talking about ATC pala...

That's too bad sis. I usually have a good experience at Enza. Pero pansin ko nga na mas magaling at friendly yung "veteran" staff sa Enza than the newer ones. Maybe because they're better trained or hindi tumatagal yung bago na hindi ok?

I tried Luxe Nail Lounge at Galleria last week and I'm not satisfied. Mas gusto ko pa rin ambience and cleanliness sa Enza. Though I'm seriously thinking of buying my own manicure set para sure ako na malinis ang gagamitin sa kin.
