So this new place has just opened up around 2 months ago at Bukhari Commercial 9th lane, right beside Neco's and Bina Khan.
Since so many saloons are mushrooming in Karachi every other day one cannot be too sure of where to go.
My Services Included:
Dermalogica Facial
Face Skin Polish
OPI Luxury Mani
OPI Luxury Pedi
OPI Luxury Nail Color
L’Oreal Luxury Hair Treatment with Mythic Oil
Full Body Wax
-DESCRIPTION-
They claim to give you Top of the line products,Skilled Expertise,Pleasant environment.
After having a little chit chat with the owner Amber Hassan I found out more about the place. Its actually a second branch and they have a place of the same name in Vancouver. The owner herself is trained from Florida and her main focus is bridal makeup.
Since the place is really small they can only accommodate 2-4 clients at once so dont be shocked if you have to wait 45-60 mins even with an appointment
-THE PLACE-
The moment you enter the place you see that its a really artistic & comfortable. The place has been put together with a lot of thought and it smells amazing thanks to the scented candles.
A blend of vibrant colors and wood which made it really easy on the eyes.
Coming to the main thing
-Waxing-
So they started me off with a full body wax. Was given a new clean gown to wear and the waxing was done by hot wax. Which was great if you ask me. I really felt no pain. I really hate places that use cold waxes so this was a plus point for me, after that was given a warm wet towel to remove all the remaining stickiness.
The Manicure and Pedicure came next and was done together. All the products used were by OPI from the nail polish remover to the nail polishes.
Now as much as i LOVED the Pedicure it made my feet shine literally and they used a red OPI scrub which cleared up my feet like magic.
The manicure was nothing more then average. Hands still felt the same.
Maybe it was because both the ladies were different and i preferred the one who did my pedicure more.
-OPI Nail Colour-
Now there was a problem here, since they did use ORIGINAL products i'm confused. My OPI started to chip on the second day. (And i dont exactly do anything) so that was disappointing to remove it and reapply something else.
Something you get everywhere. Nothing exceptional
-Dermalogica Facial-
This was the best thing out of everything. The facial was perfect. They used all the original products and my face was literally glowing in the end. I could feel the glow and my skin did feel flawless. So this will take me back for sure. Priced at PKR 3500. WORTH IT
In the end came the Hair Treatment by loreal iv been hearing about so much from everywhere. They did hold up their part of the bargain by using the real products BUT since this costs PKR 2500, It did not make any major difference in the texture of my hair or anything. If it did anything was made them more greasy. So I don't think i'm going to ever get that again.
Pricing is reasonable
Genuine products being used
Products are on display so you can see them
Friendly staff
Comfortable
Not too crowded
The Bad's
Oil treatment was pointless
Location is hard to find
Waiting time is too long.
-OVERALL-
As a new place in the city this is defiantly a nice place, will be going again for sure, since the services they provide are genuine. They know what they are doing.
One thing however I did not find comfortable was the amount of talking the girls offering services were doing among themselves. Now I don't mind a little chat but constantly going on and on in sindhi was a bummer for me. Since they are new I let that one slide for now.
Now the best part about this whole thing was that I had gotten a deal for their saloon and tried them out due to that, was very hesitant at first but over all turned out to be a good one :)
