Revitalized

I got a voucher from a friend as a gift for a combo of relaxing head and shoulder massage, eyelash and eyebrow trim/​tint and feet massage with hot mittens. I did not really expected anything besides a nice hour or so, but it was really great.
The salon is located in Chapelizod so I was not familiar with the area but it is not very far from Phoenix Park and can be easily reached by the bus 66 from the city centre; if you’re driving, there is free parking right in front.
I booked beforehand and the service was attentive and polite, followed by a text confirming the booking, date and address with bus/​routes tips. Nice touch!
Getting there, they are located inside an artificial tanning establishment called «Sun beds». The place is small but it does the job well. There are the usual gossip magazines — which I gladly skip — and some comfy seating while you wait.
I saw that they do several promotions, display products for sale and that the environment is relaxed. There were 2 people working; a man and a woman. It seemed a bit unusual but the man was doing feet treatment in several woman and he seemed very professional.
After 15 mins wait I was greeted by Gemma. She was very friendly and very well-​mannered. As I had arrived a bit earlier she decided to help me then, leaving her break for later; even though I said she did not have to do it and I could wait but she gladly did it, again being very professional.
She took me to a corner where they have a massage bed (those with a whole to pop your head through… i’d love one of those for myself!) and a thin blanket. She massaged my feet with nice oils and fragrances and wrapped them in hot mittens and left it heating up for about 20 mins — it was soft and warm.
Meanwhile she showed me the colours that were available for the tint process and applied it all very slowly and carefully. I had a full head/​scalp massage — which stimulates hair growth — and my brows were trimmed just the way I normally do it — as she was asking if it was okay for me every now and then with the mirror. Also some more essential oils and a lovely mist were sprayed on my face right after the exfoliation. During the whole time I had headphones on with relaxing music to help me chill out.
By the time you are thinking «aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I want this to last forever» it is over… I was feeling energized and happy.
She gave me their price list and 2 cards that I can give to people I refer and they can get a massage/​hot mittens/​pedicure treatment for 39 euro.
Plus she gave me plenty of water advising me to drink more and more at home as the massage tends to make your body really need the 2 litres a day.
Lovely experience and I can’t recommend it more!
