I’m a very loyal nail spa client. Proof? I was a very regular client of CANS (California Nail and Spa) in Greenhills. I was their loyal client for I think 7 years? It has been that long, I was so sad that they closed down. When they did – I followed my ‘favorite’ manicurista, a new smaller nail place opened right beside CANS and it was called Nuvo Nails. I live in Quezon City YET I frequented Nuvo Nails, until my manicurista resigned. After that – I got her to do home service for me. I really really loved her because she was very gentle, magaan ang kamay, clean and very meticulous. Unfortunately, her time management was not. For I think a year or two, she would always cancel last minute or even just don’t show up. I forgave her all the time, but then I gave her a piece of my mind, I told her that if I made an appointment, I wanted it followed – if she couldn’t make it, it would be nice if she told me earlier not on the exact hour. I usually tell her to come to my place at 10am, but she would text at 10am that she won’t be able to make it. Hassle diba? But then after that text – well, she ignored me. I was hurt to be honest, but what can I do right? Move on. So since that happened, I have been looking for a nail place that was nearby and that reasonable rates. I found one along Timog Avenue. The rates were really cheap – but the problem was – they didn’t have a phone, so you’d need to walk in by chance – and the aircon was not cold enough for the place. I went there for a couple of months, until my friend Kath told me to try her new discovered place near Tomas Morato. And when I did, I stayed at that place – until a couple of months ago when I tried Vanilla Mint.
I haven’t been able to try their massages but two of my friends who did, said that it was good! I’ve tried having my eyebrows fixed by threading and I was really satisfied. They also have waxing services and more. They even have sparty packages for adults and kids!
So there – Vanilla Mint. My happy place! I really really love it there. I also love that their couches are so inviting and comfortable. The staff are very nice too! They’re very accommodating, smiley and courteous!
Thank you Lea and Achi Pao’s brother for opening this place!!
