Flawless Nails at Kim Keat Road

One morning as my cab drove past the shophouses along Kim Keat Road, I saw a flash - of a new Nail Shop! I must have been very blind not to notice this new & huge retail shop because they have been opened since November!

Babes of Jalan Bahagia / Ma'mor / Balestier Road - we now have somewhere to go to do up our nails! This is a picture of the shopfront :) with a big banner you would never miss.

I have been looking for somewhere convenient in the neighbourhood to do my nails. I've been trawling the Whampoa neighbourhood for a place - I mean a proper place - to do my nails.

There is one shabby-looking saloon at Blk 86 which offers manicure and pedicure services at really low rates but I didn't give in to the cajoling of the auntie who went on and on about her pedicure promotion that comes with a paraffin. Her shop didn't look comfortable as there wasn't a single soul when I peeped in on a Saturday morning. In the end I walked off in the pretext that I need to attend to my groceries first.

Ok anyway, back to Flawless. The interior of the shop is really spacious. They have a large reception counter in that huge space, and it looks empty for the moment. Fully carpeted and shoes are to be taken off.

As you walk in further, you'll see the nails area. And a long corridor that leads into the spa rooms (I suppose).

The pedicure area has 4 stations and are kept very neat and clean.

I did mine and the retail price for it is $35. Shopping malls pricing eh? Was contemplating about getting the package at 10 sessions at 10% off but I would rather share the package with someone or pay an extra $3.50 every month for the next 10 months. Anyone interested to share the package with me?

The friendly ladies at Flawless also introduced a facial promotion they have - 5 sessions (with ear candling, with some eye thing, with some neck thing) for $165. This, I'm definitely more interested! And it's going to end this month - so I'm going back again for facial soon!

The only complaint issue I have - is with the seats at the pedicure area. I thought the sofas are a little bit stiff and I can't slump back into dreamland while someone is painting my toenails. They only have a little pillow for me to hug and their magazines are either nail catalogues or boring lifestyle magazines in Mandarin.

The rest are fine and I'm happy with my newly painted toenails :)

Oh yes, the shop assistant told me the best time to go without a crowd is - weekday nights. They are open till 10pm.

This is my 4th facial for their $165 5-in-1 package and I enjoy all my visits! Particularly because I love fingers nibbling at my face and the feel-good factor that I will walk out of the shop looking fairer!

Most of the time, they come up with very good promotions like these. 5 facial sessions + 5 manicures + 5 pedicures at $300. Budgetnistas, this is value for money! This is a good time to stretch your dollar!

The promotion end date is stated 30 March. When I was there end April, they told me they have extended it!

While waiting for my masseuse to get ready, I sat at the couch area with nicely served ginger tea.

Facial anyone?

There is a shortcut from Jalan Ma'mor to Toa Payoh

You can get to Toa Payoh by foot, despite having no ways to drive straight across. It is in fact cumbersome if you want to drive to the temple across the expressway. See below blue line.

There is staircase (or a overhead bridge) at Jalan Ma'mor which leads to the neighbourhood of Toa Payoh.

You'll have to get across the huge Pan Island Expressway.
