My first GBS (Group Buying Site) spa deal was bought from CashCashPinoy which served as a bridal shower treat for a dear friend of mine.
Who wouldn't be delighted with their offer of "80% OFF! Be Glamorous with these Beauty Packages! Only P499 for a body scrub, body massage and hair spa at All About Nails Spa"?
One of GBS' standard procedures is to print out the voucher for the merchant. Before I availed of their promo, I called them and asked if they accept photo of the voucher instead of a print out. I just thought that the voucher is too big to be consumed with one short bond paper when all that really mattered was the serial number. When they agreed, I immediately bought four vouchers. Upon reservation, I was politely informed by the staff that they could only accommodate two person at a time due to the limited rooms available.
We booked an appointment on a Monday at 2pm Manila time. It was a great day for all of us; a sunny weather and light traffic
We got there right on time but got a bit lost. We were told that they're in front of SaveMore but were not exactly correct. There was a salon and spa directly in front of it which we have mistakenly thought of the establishment we were looking for. I contacted the phone number indicated on the voucher just in time to see a tarpaulin pointing where the spa is.
The place was super girly with the pink and white patterned wallpaper. The room was well lit and its setting pretty neat and cozy. There were three comfy couches, a stack of women's magazines, autographed photo of the Asia's songbird Regine Velasquez, and a cute counter with a set of nail polishes on the double panel shelf.
It was a spectacular experience because it seemed like we owned the place. We were the only ones there and the staffs were all accommodating. They let us take photos of the place's different angles. It was fun and relaxing.
Since there were only two rooms available, we draw lots who should go in first. While waiting, more picture taking happened and then we decided to have a pedi-scrub service too.
When we were almost done, customers started queuing. To sum it all up, here's how they score.

CLEANLINESS / SANITATION
The place is clean, from the entrance, to the rooms, particularly the shower area.
PRIVACY / SECURITY
There were only two rooms divided by a curtain. A guest who will be designated on the far end will have to go out of the main area (sala) to go the shower area. If there were male customers sitting on the main area, a female guest may find it inconvenient to go out with only a towel or a robe on.
QUALITY OF MASSAGE
The massage was just average maybe because it was a combo package with the body scrub and hair spa. The staff however didn't bother asking if the pressure was fine.
FACILITIES
I am not sure if its intentional or part of company procedure but I find it weird that a desk lamp was used to focus on my feet during pedicure.
STAFF ETIQUETTE
The staff were all friendly, accommodating, and upbeat. They are also courteous and happy. Though promotional sales are common in this field of business, I personally didn't like it when people continuously encourage us to avail of this and that.
VALUE FOR MONEY
Upon four of us finishing our sessions, three out of four voted that it was worth it.
VALUE FOR TIME
They started on time and we appreciate the heads up that there were only two rooms. So we were able to adjust our schedules and didn't waste any minute.
Do I recommend All About Nails Spa to other people? YES.
Will I go back to All About Nails Spa? YES.
Comments and Suggestions:
Additional rooms would be awesome especially during girls date out, group guests will most certainly appreciate not having to wait longer for their turns.
