I'm a member of the gym Club Vitae so I've come to the spa here many times. Dell is the massage therapist and I find his massages excellent in that they really help with the chronic neck pain I suffer from. I also tend to get musculoskeletal related injuries quite often with hyper-extendible joints, so I've been to many massage therapists in my life and have found this place to be one of the best in terms of helping with injury/ pain. There are a number of different types of massage such as Sports injury massage, Swedish, Deep Tissue as well as others like reflexology, trigger point release and one for pregnancy.
In terms of beauty, Amanda is the beauty therapist here and I've had a facial, a peel and waxing a few times. She uses the Surgictouch skincare line which I had never seen before, but it's an Italian line that focuses on the more medical side of skin care with things like alpha hydroxy acid and a lot of products that focus on anti-aging and rejuvenation. Amanda is very friendly and her facials are quite good. I felt that I saw a real difference after the skin peel. Waxing, manicures, Shellac nails and a slimming Endermologie lipomassage treatment are also available.
Both Dell and Amanda are very knowledgable with lots of experience and provide great advice.
In terms of nails, it's another girl Sue who does them and I got Shellac which was very poorly done. It was probably the worst Shellac I have ever gotten in that she didn't even file let alone buff my nails. She got polish on my skin and the edges and at the nail bed were also very messy. I complained afterwards and they gave me a €10 voucher for the €30 horrendous job (refused to fix them), which was not exactly to my satisfaction at all. The range of colours was very limited and overall I would not recommend getting Shellac here.
Price wise, it's the same as any other salon really. Facials are around €70+, Shellac is €30 and massages are €60-70.
Overall: Great massages and facials, terrible for Shellac.
