Seeing as how I am a manly man who likes manly man things like drinking, hunting and spitting, I have never set foot inside a spa before, let alone had a manicure or pedicure.
This all changed a couple of days ago however when I visited the Dove Spa in Formby village. Thankfully, it was to buy a treatment for my sister for her incoming birthday and not to book myself in for some French tips.
Upon entering the spa, I was pretty clueless as to what I should get my sister (her only intimation about her birthday present was that she'd quite like a massage, but I didn't really know what kind or even if there was different types). However, I was quickly aided by the helpful assistant there, who advised me of the available treatments that I could book for her as well as recommending popular ones that were still within my budget (I am a student, after all). The prices can be quite expensive if you get certain packages, but if you're looking for an idea for a present for a special someone, Dove Spa could well be worth checking out. read more
