Wanting a treat for my nails and hands I booked a 1 hour "luxury manicure". However when I arrived I was told rather bossily I was having some new "gel" manicure - very limited colours, it took ages, she was unwrapping all the stuff so it was clearly a new product. No cuticle softener or any nice products just the gel stuff and she was so slow there was no time for hand massage. And guess what, the varnish started to peel off after 3 days! I might as well have gone to a nail bar and had shellac.
The staff at Amiika Spa were the right level of polite and chatty without being overbearing and my manicure & pedicure were both great. The spa itself is relaxing and well appointed. I'll definitely be back for more treatments.
The staff were kind enough to let me rearrange twice. Once due to work commitments, the second as I had hurt myself. However, when I arrived for my massage (admittedly I was 5 minutes late) the whole thing seemed robotic and rushed. No personal touch to it, in and out without a smile from anyone. Almost regretted booking, but learned from the experience.
