The venue is great and central, more happy house than whale music. The massage was very good, great value andjust as I like it. The therapist looked after me well and gave me exactly what I asked for. I will be going back.
Another trip to Cucumba! As usual the service and staff were great. I've had a gel mani this time as gels last longer than polish and I need my nails to look good at the weekend.
The nail prep before the gel application is thorough and effective with a focus on cuticle tidying.
They use Artistic Colour Gloss products at Cucumba, the brainchild of Chanel's manicurist Tom Bachik and they carry a wide selection of the colours for you to pick from. I’m currently rocking a grey / purple colour called sooo in - and i love it!
Went as a group of 3 for a Pit Stop manicure after work. I really love this venue as it's sociable as well as convenient; manicures here have become part of my beauty regime. The Pit Stop usually lasts me between 4 and 7 days and since I've been coming in for quick manis (every 2 weeks roughly) I've been able to maintain a great nail shape and I never get split or broken nails as the regualr attention is keeping my nails in really good condition.
We were three. The chairs etc are set up so that we could chat easily with one another. Our "pit stop" manicures were as advertised: we were in, chat, nails done, and then off we each off to our next thing: dinner with family, drinks with friends, and home-sweet-home. Their selection of nail colours was half the fun. I am loving my charcoal grey, almost blue nails today.
Another great trip to Cucumba. There's always last minute availability here which makes it perfect to pop in after work. There's a great selection of Essie colours and i always get at least four days of pristine nails before chips.
