The lovely side of this spa is the service and the prices. It pretty much ends up there, but honestly, I don't need much more when those two are as amazing as they are at Lovely Spa. I randomly saw the place while walking up Lan Kwai Fong Street and took one of their leaflets outside their building. As I flicked through, my face turned into a 'no way!' expression...50 HKD for eyebrow threading? 230 HKD for a Brazilian wax?
I called them and made an appointment two days later. Don't get put off by the building; yes, it seems like it's falling apart but the place itself is welcoming and very clean. I got there just in time and was welcomed with some water before the therapist led me to one of their (three) rooms. I wanted to get my eyebrows done but my expectations weren't high. However, I asked her for advice on how to reshape them. She took her time and made a couple of observations, which made me feel more comfortable, then just got onto it and in a matter of 10 minutes I was out. My thoughts: very professional, quick and well performed. This is what you get anywhere else in Hong Kong, but for 120 HKD and not much advice.
As I came out of the room I saw two people getting a manicure and it looked so good, I made the next appointment! Just be warned of two things: it's cash only and there is no lift to the 3rd floor. read more
