Being a sucker for anything beauty & spa, I have always been open to trying out new outlets or salon with special promotions. Among all the 8 years that I have tried out almost everything or anything a girl can think of (Oh except Brazilin IPL).
I was cooed into signing up for a pretty fantastic promotion I must say @ $38 for an IPL underarm/ Manicure & Pedicure. Ok, I admit I was too cheapskate and greedy. I bought 5 treatments at a go, thinking that $38 for such deals are pretty value for money since my nail package from my usual salon had all been utilized. I was informed by the road shows sales staff that I am able to use the $38 for any treatments multiple times. (ie 3 x IPL & 2x Mani/Pedi). The information given was wrong apparently according to the receptionist/therapist in Shine. I could only use multiple times for Mani/Pedi but not for expensive treatments like IPL. (IPL Underarms and brazilin can only be used once each). Since I am more interested in their Mani & Pedi, I let it pass.
In case, you think that was THE nightmare. No, you are wrong. The nightmare just BEGAN. After I signed up and did one session of Manicure & Pedicure & Underarm IPL, I was still feeling pretty satisfied though it wasn’t the best manicure & pedicure or IPL I had done. But what can you expect if it is @ $38 for both Mani & Pedi? It was the cheapest I could find. Thereafter, I did the dumbest thing ever signing up another 10 sessions as I was persuaded into the promotion was going to end anytime soon & because my nail package elsewhere was $30 per session for only pedicure. Trust me, penny wise & pound foolish statement fits me at that point in time.
