Nail Tropics is located on the 2nd floor of Uptown Parade just over the walkway from Uptown Mall, or on your right if you take the stairs.
Service:
I popped in for my first gel nail polish as a walk-in on a Sunday evening with no wait, no problem. I was told, the service would be P800. The beach style lounge chairs are quite comfortable along with a few added pillows and lap shawl.
Sam was my nail artist and unlike most of my manicures in the Philippines, she made a welcoming effort to chat (probably not seeing too many gents like me in for black glitter gel nails!). She was gentle, thorough, and very helpful. She suggested a paraffin wax treatment for my rough and dry skin. When she finished my manicure, Sam gently massaged my hands and forearms before asking if I'd like a back massage, and used the lap shawl to make my experience all the more relaxing. Brief, but welcoming and certainly not a standard in the states.
Vibe:
If it's not clear by the name, Nail Tropics transports you to an island oasis. Each nail artist technician wears a clean white uniform, apron, and white cozy crocs. The spaces is white, warm and inviting with plenty of aircon. Sure, there might be that one customer who doesn't observe the tranquility of the salon and holds court with a phone conversation or scrolling Facebook without headphones but that didn't stop Sam from doing a bang up job on my chubby little sausage fingers.
Quality:
Well worth your pesos for the price. Friendly service and a satisfactory job well done. Thank you Sam! read more
