Unique and Special "Menu of Services" at Kitchenails: A Fresh Toss on Hand and Foot Care

Tweet

Loving yourself and taking care of yourself is something fundamental. Your decision to pamper yourself is just a reflection of whatever you’re feeling inside.

After all, you work hard, enjoy with a treat every now and then. Whether you’ve achieved a long-term goal that you have been working toward or simply had the most productive day ever, just give yourself a “Me Time” , pampering yourself,  you’re worth it and that you deserve it.

Getting a mani-pedi makes me feel instantly better. When my nails are done I feel so much better – It's the little things that make me so happy, and you literally feel polished, feeling beautiful inside and out!

Last my"Me Time", I experienced and enjoyed a unique pampering myself at the Kitchenails, with the chefs! 

Kitchenails is a fresh new concept in hand and foot care. Kitchenails located at the Robinson Galleria had a grand opening and blessing last July 28, 2018. Thanks to Mplify’s Miguel Dela Rosa, KitcheNails Marketing and PR Consultant, organized the the grand opening and give us the opportunity to experience the fresh toss on hand and foot care.

It offers a wide variety of flavorful scrubs, nail polish and oils that are organic and hypoallergenic. Its “Menu of Services” are a play on words associated with food like Honey Glaze for Paraffin Wax and Aperitif for Massage. The most recommended service would be a “Chef Specials” complete pampering service, choose your own flavor (Lemon Square, Candied Oranges, Spiced Plum Pannacotta, Verry Berry Muffin and Key Lime Pie).

At the grand opening of Kitchenails at Robinsons Galleria, Ortigas, personalities were Samie Anne Legaspi, Miss Lumiere International 1st Runner Up, Cindy Madduma, Miss Scuba International 2015 & Miss Scuba Philippines Pageant Owner, Ruel Rada, Mr Philippines, GMA Cavite, Atty.Minnie Bautista-Aldave, Atty Mark Aldave, Myrna Dela Rama, Operations Manager, Miguel De La Rosa, Marketing Consultant.

Kitchenails  started on December 2015 in Alabang Town Center. An innovation from a classic nail salon, Kitchenails added scents, flavors and ingredients from your mom’s and/or grandma’s kitchen. Month after, it opened a branch in Trinoma, Ayala Mall’s premiere mall in North Metro Manila. #ColorTheSouth for Alabang, South of the Metro, #ColorTheNorth for Trinoma became its hashtag in all of its social media accounts. #FeedYourSenses, is the mission of Kitchenails, to provide the overall experience of a nail salon with a home kitchen approach that would tickle all your senses. 

After two years of operations, Kitchenails is now open for franchise and looking for more locations in the Metro and key cities in country. Last July 28, 2018 opens its first franchise store located at Robinsons Galleria, one of the premiere mall in Ortigas Center. Its official hashtag #ColorTheEast, as the mall is located in the boundaries of Quezon City, Mandaluyong and Pasig, the eastern part of the metro. It would be in the newly revamp East Wing of the mall along with all other health and wellness stores.

"A concept nail salon made impact to me as a client much more as franchisee. I have always looked up to the dedication given by the owners and team members of Kitchenails. I know that with proper guidance and support, I will grow with them as embark on this journey to business success. Being part of a family is what they've made me feel even from the start and that alone assures me that I have made the right decision." Atty. Minnie Aldave, Kitchenails Robinsons Galleria Franchisee.

Kitchenails are located in Alabang Town Center (UGF Main Mall, 815-6350), Trinoma (3F Near Mindanao Parking, 625-2804) and Robinsons Galleria (Level 3, East Wing).

Traditional 'Hilot' experience at Balay Hilom Spa

Tweet

Originating in the Philippines, Hilot is a hands-on healing art that involves intuition and massage – from head to toes.

The full body Hilot massage involves a combination of slow moving fingers and hand pressure over various pressure points throughout the back and legs, and relaxing the tension in the head and neck. 

Hilot methods and techniques passed down from generation to generation and known for its therapeutic benefits, Hilot is perfectly suited to the spa, a uniquely Filipino treatment that spas could offer along on their menu of services.

Last Friday, I with my two daughters visit the Balay Hilom Spa at Quezon City to indulge ourselves with the relaxing and rejuvenating massage after the week of work, attending events and projects.

Quezon City Tourism included Balay Hilom Spa as one of the 75 places to visit in Quezon City, out of tens of thousands of establishments in the city.

Balay Hilom Spa's Hilot massage is rooted from the indigenous healing traditions of Philippine provinces. 

Relaxing, serene ambience and with a province-like interior, you will feel relax and releases you from the stress of the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.

The Balay Hilom Spa friendly accommodating staff welcome and offer us with a freshly prepared cup of Herloom Tea.

The amiable staff dip and washes our feet in a warm water for a few minutes before the Hilot session. 

We choose to experience Balay Hilom Spa‘s signature massage which is the Sinaunang Ginhawa: Hilot Balay Hilom - deep tissue massage that increases blood circulation, improves breathing and frees muscles from “lamig” or pulled muscles.

For just Php 450, a 70-minute massage will help you rid of stress and feel revitalized.

Rediscovering our traditions, Hilot Balay Hilom massage is one of our most enjoying great massage experience, we feel de- stressed, relief and relax. We will definitely go back , with our family and/or friends.
