Abu Dhabi: Badly need a pedicure but too busy at office?
Don’t fret – the salon will now come to you, right to your desk.
Nail Spa has launched a deskside revival package to preen and pamper you while you are busy meeting deadlines. The beauty packages for men and women include manicure, pedicure, eyebrow-threading and even facials and neck and shoulder massage.
“We launched the special service due to popular demand. Whether you are looking for a quick nail polish change or eyebrow threading during lunch break, or a bespoke treatment package for your team in the office, deskside revival service is ideal,” Shabana Karim, founder and managing director of The Nail Spa, told XPRESS.
The service is available both in Abu Dhabi and Dubai salons through Nail Spa’s seven outlets. All you need do is book an appointment and the beauty army will march to your desk with their magic potions neatly stacked in a suitcase.
In no time the ladies spread out their palette of nail colours, pedicure packs, white towels, massage oil and even pans to dip your feet in water, transforming your boring office desk into a relaxing mini-spa.
You can either choose from a ‘quick fix’ 50-minute package that incudes polish change (hands and feet), eyebrow-threading, head, neck and shoulder massage, all for Dh250 or ‘refresh and revive’ and ‘put your feet up’ for Dh545 and Dh490 respectively and include facial, massage, reflexology and other tailor-made treatments.
One for the men
The men are not to be left behind with a ‘gentlemen’s relish’ package that includes manicure and pedicure, head, neck and shoulder massage and reflexology for hands and feet - all for Dh430.
The salon also offers team packages.
Women in the capital are thrilled at the idea of getting their beauty fix right at their office desk.
“That is a great idea. I would love to have a beauty session when I am actually at work,” said Fathima Salam, 23, who works for an interior design company.
Mohammad Hassan, 24, who works for a government company, said he would love a shoulder massage to beat the stress at work.
However, others like Anita Pepe, 30, an Italian expatriate, said it could be a little tricky. “It’s definitely a glamorous service, but for those who do not have a personal office, it can get tricky. I share an open space with six other women and it can be quite distracting if I am sitting in front of them with my feet in a bucket,” she said.
