Blondie in Wonderland: salon

IMAGINE THE JOY OF MY CUTICLES ONCE THEY FINALLY GOT A POLISHING THEY DESERVED, AFTER A HECTIC SCHEDULE DID A NUMBER ON MY DEAR DELICATE NAILS.

Exactly a year after their first branch opened, Impulse Nail Bar & Salon had another branch opened just this December 18 2013 at the 3rd floor of Veranza.

I cant get over how incredibly chic their interior is, hot pink with wood finished furniture, the lighting, plus their very neat relaxing ambiance, on the right their mani-pedi station, further in from the right, their VIP area, for those who want to get their nails done in private, just add Php50 to your mani-pedi, very affordable! You could lounge on their comfy couch, even with your own TV. On the left it’s their salon area, where you could relax and enjoy the wide array of lavish salon services from hair treatments, styling, color and make-up as well. Impulse is very confident and proud, they only use trusted and imported brands for their services to assure their customers get the best results.

“Classy, fancy but not pricey” is how owner and beauty fairy godmother, Pinky Mihara would describe Impulse. Growing up, she’s always been fond of glamming stuff up and making things pretty which made her take up cosmetology in Japan. Being born and raised in Gensan she decided to put up a nail bar and salon here. With her aim of providing fellow Generals, comfort and satisfaction with very affordable prices, I could say they didn’t fail to comply.

For only Php310 I was able to get my mani-pedi, with a fiery red Sally Hansen’s complete salon manicure, All Fired Up polish. Got a bit confused while I was trying to pick a shade of polish, because of the vast collection of imported nail polish I was presented with. I was as seated at the end of this long, pink, super kawaii/cute couch, I saw their autoclave/sterilizer placed on my right, what a big plus, customers could get the comfort of knowing the tools they’re using are clean.

The manicurist did an awesome job of filing, buffing and painting my ragged claw like nails. Their employees are definitely experienced and hospitable, people that you could build a customer friendship with, I had a nice chat with her, where in which I learned that they could finish an exceptionally clean and polished manicure within 15mins, and a mani-pedi under 30 mins, how awesome is that?

Overall the price is fair and very affordable especially when you consider the cleanliness & the products that they use. One could see that cleanliness is of the utmost importance to this nail bar and salon, followed by a close second of customer satisfaction, that definitely makes you want to back again and again.
