The cost of living here is outrageous. The cost of being pretty is a travesty. I could just cry…read morewhen I see the €60 price tag on a gel manicure (vs $25 in SF). Hair maintenance is enough to give you a heart attack.
But Unika. Aaaah, Unika! I got the best touch-up I've ever had (NOT KIDDING), the best scalp massage I've ever had, and the nicest most personable service I've ever had from Maya. She is the very best! I went in with a color blend issue from my last root job and she found a way, without bleach or a dryer, to make me all one color again. All for around €30. I almost had the good kind of heart attack and I would have hugged her but restrained myself. Unika is very nice inside, everyone who works there is incredibly helpful and nice, and they have tons of products.
Being pregnant and bloated, I went in feeling like Grendel and left feeling like a whole new person. I will be back until Maya is not there anymore. And then I will go wherever she does. Thank you, Unika.
