I discovered this place a few weeks ago when I was in the mood for some last minute pampering before a weekend away, I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I recently moved to Dublin and I'm still getting to know my way around the city. I chose this place at first because it's really close to where I live and on Fridays all the treatments are 50% off (very hard to resist that kind of math) but when I got there I was very pleased with my choice.
It's a cozy one-room salon, run by Monika in a welcoming atmosphere with warm colors, dimmed lights and relaxing music in the background. The treatments are amazing, especially the facial which includes a neck and shoulder massage and the pedicure. I also got a lot of information about my type of skin, what products to use and not to use. What I really appreciated with Monika is that she doesn't make you feel like you need to break the silence with awkward small talk, whether you want to relax and enjoy the music, take a nap, read a magazine or have a chat, she somehow makes you feel so comfortable (she even gave my a blanket when I was a cold).
I've been twice so far and it's safe to say I'll be planing my next visit very soon. read more
