Reflexion Nail Spa and Massage


I love surfing through group buying sites like Metrodeal, Cashcashpinoy and Groupon. Don't you just love their deals? And it doesn't help that they send you e-mails everyday regarding their latest offers--it's always very very tempting. 

I've already bought a number of coupons for different spas/salons, and the most recent one was from Groupon:



Reflexion spa is located at Escriva drive which is quite accessible to me, so it was a good deal. We availed of the 1 hour body massage option, which cost 225php per person.

The spa is located at the more quiet side of Escriva drive, near UA&P and the residential lots. It's quite small, yet very cozy. I loved the interiors which basically played on earth colors.


Earthy!


We were then welcomed with a quick warm foot bath before the massage.

One thing we noticed which was unusual was that they did not have a restroom inside the spa. You had to go to the condominium's restroom which was outside. Also, their other rooms were located in another area outside the main spa itself. The couple's room was the only room in the main spa area.


Personally, I think the room was too small. There wasn't much space for the masseuse to move around, as the side of the bed was almost touching the wall. The room lacked some of the basics, like a place to put all your belongings and even a dim light. When the massaged started, the lights were closed and we were only utilizing the light coming from outside.

The massage itself was nothing to rave about. It was okay, and the pressure was just right (Therapist: Heidi) I fell asleep once, which was a good sign. However, since the room's walls did not reach the ceiling, we could hear everything going on outside. The constant ringing of the telephone, the new customers going in, customers inquiring, etc. I really wish they closed up the room.

After the massage, they served us some ginger tea which I hated, and Oz loved. Haha. In fairness, they had very good customer service. They had warm towels for us after the massage to remove the oil from our bodies. They even sent us a text message right after we had left, thanking us and asking for comments.

On a funny note, there was a sign posted inside the room which you would definitely not miss:

Hmm.
I can't imagine what happened before that made them put up a sign like that. Haha.

Verdict: I probably won't go back for a whole body massage, but maybe I'll try their foot massage/spa when I'm in the area. I think store is more suited as a nail spa rather than a massage place because of their lack in basic facilities for body massages. The location is peaceful and has a lot of available parking. They have excellent customer service, which makes up for what they lack in other aspects.
