i was looking at a classic mani+pedi promo @ $33( buddy promo) and $38 per person and the sales girl keep telling me my nails lack care and not well shaped. but my nails were short and i said i’ll only do it when it gets longer and she said i should shape it before it gets long. i told her if i do it now my nail will grow out and the nail polish will look ugly ( half painted half not). and my ma, after waiting so long, told the staff that we’re short of time. the staff said she can do it very very fast. i said i’ll search for another friend cause of the buddy promo but she says that the buddy promo doesnt have the scrub and she keep persisting that i should do the scrub. i was really irritated and i said i’ll call back to reserve and she kept holding the name card and doesnt want to give me. she said why not i make a reservation now. bloody irritated my ma help me to tell her that we’re rushing to go and pulled me away.

i wont talk about the hp shop but basically they’re all hard selling. and facials too. always convincing me to buy packages or to buy their products.

I thought facials were useless too until recently. You’ve got to meet the right one and when you do, they do make a lot of difference! Daily regime is important but sometimes you need some work like face contouring to give it more firming and lifting. Anyway, you’re young and you don’t really need them that badly.

I tend not to get facials done since they’re really pretty much useless (i’ve been going for them since I was 12, I’m 20 now) and I opt for at home treatments + visits to the dermatologist instead.

For things like day spa offering the whole works, I take a plane to Bangkok or Siem Reap. I think even nearby Johor has got great deals.
