You know, I used to go to the Asha Salon Spa that used to be down the street from me. And, I would get an hour massage, a pedicure, manicure, a haircut, and a make-up application done (the make-up app would be free at this point, LOL).
But, then I read an article about how MOST salons lack in the "stringency" of disinfecting/cleaning their stuff...and how if you get a pedicure done (the big problem) that you can get some flesh eating bacteria that will get into the little hair folicles if you shave your legs in a time frame of "up to 3 days before and 3 days after".
I just couldn't bring myself to go back for pedicures and manicures after that.
But, I will say one thing. Before you put your feet in that foot spa...make them pull the filter out (it's in the tub area and it looks like a basket). If it's black, you should scream, bitch slap the person who's chair it is and threaten a law suit. It's that black gunk (think the bacteria from every person who's ever had a pedi done) that you can catch some nasty stuff from.
Ok...so now that I've rained on your parade. I think you should get a facial (not a microdermabrasion, though) a manicure, a pedicure (if the trap is clean) and a massage. If you are concerned about your skin, you may want to skip the massage and do a full body wrap (*sigh* heavenly). If you feel like you need a haircut, then get that, too. Make sure you ask them for their package specials. Sometimes they don't advertise them, but ask anyways.
