    I adore Antoinette's, after driving by many times a coworker recommended this spa and I am so happy…read moreshe did. Antoinette is a complete sweetheart and made me feel like I had known her forever the 1st time I was in. I have only ever had 1 pedicure, which was really good, affordable and we had allot of fun picking colours. She really took her time with the treatment and my feet felt brand new afterwards. Antoinette's is also a perfect place to pick up nail polish, I have a bit of a problem with buying polish (I can't stop) and she has one of the best prices in the city for OPI.

    Me and a group of co-workers came here a week ago based on the good yelp reviews and we deeply…read moreregret that decision. We wanted a manicure and pedicure done as a treat to ourselves but left disappointed. One friend decided on classic French gel nails while the other decided on French gel nails with black tips, while I just wanted gel nails with some polish over it (as I have no nails). Although the lady who did our nails was really nice, the only one that turned out well was my friend who got the regular French gel nails. The one who got the gel nails with black tips didn't get any tips, it was just gel nails with some black polish on the tips of it, it didn't look very good. My nails were by far the worst though. They weren't flat for some reason, and if you look at my finger from a side angle they look like I have some french gel nail bubble. My cuticles weren't pushed back and my gel nails also weren't on my whole nail. It looked like I had like 3 weeks of nail grow out leaving the place. At the last minute after hearing they do eyelash extensions my friend decided to get those while me and my other friend got a pedicure. Our pedicure consisted of a woman cutting our toe nails and putting nail polish on them. She didn't file anything at all. My friend got eye lash extensions which looked fantastic when she left, but they all fell out within a few days. It came to like $70 which would be good if the end result was a nice looking manicure and pedicure. We all concluded a few days later that we wish we said something about how much we hated our nails but a) we were afraid to look like bitches and b) the ladies who did our nails were so nice. Oh well, I'm saying it now on yelp. I will not be back.

    Spas in the Halifax area are a dime a dozen. There's one on every corner; often they're across the…read morestreet from one another. So how do you choose the right one for you? I'll be honest, my spa experiences are limited. Being a country gal, I'd sooner be at a truck pull then having my toe nails painted. However, now and then, everyone needs to spoil themselves. I was nervous about my first facial at Mudwraps to Manicures. As someone that doesn't pay particular attention to their skin, I viciously exfoliated and moisturized the week before my appointment. Like when you try to trick your dentist into thinking you take care of your teeth by flossing furiously before your yearly appointment. But they know, they know.... I had a stereotypical image of a spa in my mind, complete with bored, Botox ravaged housewives, swathed in mud. As I walked in, they would tap their painted talons on glass stables and glare, knowing I didn't belong. Like usual, my overactive imagination got the best of me. In reality, I was greeted and taken to a cozy, little seating area. While I was filling out my paperwork, I was given a delightful herbal tea (toffee flavoured!) to enjoy. I wasn't waiting long when an aesthetician introduced herself to me and took me to my room. The lights were turned down and the blinds were closed. I was told to change into a comfy robe and then she wrapped me up in blankets. My hands were massaged, and then put into warm mitts. The room was dark and warm, soothing music played throughout the entire spa. The facial was really nice. It was incredibly relaxing; it took all I had not to fall asleep. My aesthetician was chatty but not too chatty. She knew when to let me relax and drink it all in. Afterwards, my skin felt great. She was also very helpful when recommending what products would be good for my skin type. They have a wonderful selection of skin care products, but also bags, shoes, jewellery, scarves, etc. They have your standard services, such as mani/pedis, facials, waxing, massage, scrubs, wraps, you name it. They also have some intriguing treatments such as Max7 (light therapy) and endermology. That's a non-invasive lipo massage treatment for cellulite and re-contouring. I've since returned to try both of those services. Getting to wear a see-through, white jump suit makes trying endermology worth it. It's hilariously ridiculous; I dare you not to prance around a little! I've gone from someone that gets their skin care products from Wal-Mart to a total spa snob. They've got me hooked and because their prices are reasonable, I'm able to pamper myself without breaking the bank. Because, let's face it, not everyone can afford a silk body scrub every day. If you're looking to spoil yourself, or maybe a loved one, at a good price while still receiving pleasant, competent service, Mudwraps is for you! Plus, you get a chocolate when you pay, what more could you want?

    They had me at Mudwrap. While the manicure is not an act of indulgence to tickle my taste, I'm all…read moreabout skin-care treatments and getting spa-tastic squeaky clean! Such indulgences require going beyond an arms length, and in a trip to Bedford's Mudwraps To Manicures, this was a bus ride I could justify. The spa is much more than a two trick pony; services include a variety of facial treatments, medical esthetic treatments (yes, botox), massage, body treatments, endermologie, microdermabrasion, light therapy Manicure Pedicure Services, and-- phewf-- waxing. Ay carumba.. take your pick! I did the mudwrap because I've always wanted to try it. Walking into the spa, it seems more like a beautifully decorated home than facility. Victorian accents of furniture and detailing spoke of luxury, and the emphasis on visuals was well attained. From beginning to end, staff and service were kind and natural- perfect for such occasions. So I got the most popular body wrap, which is evidently a slimming wrap as well. We'll see. about that.... the 1 1/4 hour treatment includes a full exfoliation process, an Austrian mud application, followed by a detoxifying and rejuvenating process and Austrian Moor Mud body lotion application. Whew! I was lost in some sort of trance... I think I may have been frolicking in the Swizz Mountains somewhere... I cannot truly be sure... Side-note: They also have their own line of mineral makeup. I'd just come into the know about the greatness of such, so did not make a purchase... but mineral makeup is awesome, and they have their own line of it. Bonus points! All and all, this was an incredible experience and more than worth the $90+ tax. It gave me such a lift, not sure about the slim down, but a rejuvenation that stayed with me for days. For those who can indulge in such pleasures regularly-- do it. Its an instant relaxer and a healthy way to deal with stress or busy times. I will utilize this time to throw out my September 25th birthday to any loved ones who may be reading this. (because I know thats what you all do in your spare moments) I love Mudwraps!
