You will all agree: having a spa day is such a treat. Be it as small as getting a facial done or go all out with a relaxing array of services, it just lifts you on the inside. It gives you a much needed and much deserved time for yourself. Seeking some inner peace for ourselves, we went to Tips & Toes at Muscat City Centre to get a Spa Manicure and Pedicure done.
WHO ARE TIPS & TOES?

WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED?
Their very first set up was in Bareeq al Shatti Mall, which was launched back in 2008. Since then with great customer feedback and support, they have branched out to Muscat City Centre and Muscat Grand Mall.

WHAT IS A SPA MANI AND PEDI?
A Spa Manicure and Pedicure, as opposed to a regular, Express one is a much more deep-cleansing treatment with mask application for deep hydration. Express is only on the hands and feet, whereas the Spa is up to the elbows and knees.
All products used in the Spa Manicure and Pedicure are from the brand Cuccio and the nail colour were offered from O.P.I and Essie.
OUR EXPERIENCE
The lovely ladies called Elena and Daisy were at our service. They were well informed and answered all our questions happily. They were sweet and fun to chat with, which made the time all the more destressing.
After we picked out our preferred nail colour, they started off by dipping our feet in warm water with bubbles, which was calming (of course, who doesn’t like BUBBLES!).
The whole shebang kicked off from there, including cutting, filing and cleaning out the nails and cuticles.
Next came a sea salt scrub on the feet, which was luxuriously relaxing! The revitalising scent calmed the senses and the scrub left the skin smooth.
A different kind of scrub was used on the arms, which felt like it didn’t do all that much. It was extremely gentle in our opinion and unfortunately, wasn’t rubbed in for long.
Hydrating masks were applied to both, legs and arms, and with arms wrapped in cling film, we were left for all the goodness to soak in.
A fairly light massage was given after rinsing off the masks, which was alright, but could have been better.
Our fabulous colour of choice, Essie Viva Antigua! was applied neatly along with base and top coats and voila!
WE GOT MERMAID TIPS AND TOES!
OUR VERDICT
The total cost of the Spa Manicure and Pedicure was 28 OMR, which, for what we got, was good, but still a little overpriced. We would have appreciated either a Paraffin treatment or a better scrub on the arm. Also, the massage could have been better.
However, all in all, it was a decent experience.
