What better way to bond with your gal pals than by getting a smudge-proof manicure-pedicure and solving your bad-hair day with a quick blow-dry—both treatments with a glass of wine in hand?
This year, Spaholics Nail & Blow Dry Bar opens with Spaholics Homespa franchisers Emma Lyn and Emma Rose Policarpio and their new partners: advertising executive Kathy Tambunting, wedding planner AJ Juico, and entrepreneurs Kim Lee-Maronilla and Tiffany Chua Gatchalian.
Offering hairstyling for women on the go, “Wash, Blow, Style and Go” has hairstyles ranging from high society ‘dos to straight-and-slick styles.
If your tresses need TLC, the Blow Dry Bar provides hot oil, hair spa and the sought-after Brazilian Blowout, which improves the condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smoothen the cuticle.
For a girls’ night out, Spaholics offers traditional and airbrush makeup led by Policarpio, a graduate of Makeup Artistry and Hairstyling from Academy of Freelance Makeup, London’s highly acclaimed makeup school.
As one of Spaholics’ firsts, the Nail Bar carries the Shellac nail polish in various shades. The quick-dry polish is a gel-and-paint hybrid that’s cured with a UV lamp. After curing, it dries in an instant and can last up to 14 days—perfect for those who simply don’t have the time (or the patience) to wait for their nail polish to dry.
Spa party
With Old Hollywood as inspiration for its furnishings, Spaholics Nail and Blow Dry Bar pampers women not only with its services, but also through its chic ambiance.
To provide a fun and feminine atmosphere, the place is lit with intricate chandeliers; walls are decorated with photos of icons like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe; and the black-and-white-checked floor is clearly Art Deco-inspired.
Black cushioned seats are also made more comfortable with soft pillows in neon Pop Art designs.
With the venue already perfect for throwing a “sparty,” Spaholics Nail and Blow Dry Bar offers party guests any two treatments each—plus drinks from its bar list, which includes coffee, tea, wine, beer, and cocktails to go with pasta and chips.
Guys are also welcome to try its services, have a massage, and relax with foot reflexology, among others.
Nail and salon services and body treatments can also be done in the privacy of your home. Spaholics Homespa services come with spa beds, fresh linens, aromatherapy massage oils, spa music.
