Have you caught the Pokemon Go craze?  So far, I haven't as I don't have the time to catch the Pokemons all around Singapore but it didn't stop me from having the Pokemon inspired nailart design on my gelish manicure when I visited Nailz Treats on 12 Aug 2016.

The very lovely and cozy environment which Nailz Treats offer

I must say the gelish manicure which Nailz Treats did for me months ago was very lasting.  Only the gelish nail polish on my thumb dropped out.  The rest were still nicely in tact, just that my own nails were growing out.

My previous gelish manicure

I love visiting Nailz Treats as I can enjoy a back massage while seating on the massage chair and having my manicure and pedicure done.

Cutting the cuticles away

My feet and my legs were nicely scrubbed using the rose scented exfoliant.  I loved how clean my skin felt after that.

While one manicurist was working on my toenails, another manicurist was working on my fingernails.

After preparing my fingernails, the manicurist started to work on the nail art designs for my nails.  And yes, the nail art will be based on the current popular mobile apps game, Pokemon Go!


Painting away

The manicurists in Nailz Treats are all very meticulous in achieving the nail art which customers want.  Just look at how focused the manicurist is while she created Pikachu design on my small fingernails.  It was not easy but she could do it well!

I was very thankful that Lucille, co-founder of L'Espace invited me to try out their Signature Slimming Peeling/Wrap body treatment.  In fact Lucille is my Aunt's good friend since secondary school and they hang out together a fair bit and even came to our family gatherings too.  I remembered seeing Lucille before but I didn't have a chance to chat with her as I was busy with the kids and I thought she could be one of our distant relatives since she was at our family gatherings.

We had a good chat when I visited L'space Sante on 17 Aug 2016 for the treatment.  It was where I knew Lucille had been in the beauty industry for many years.  She mentioned that her customers who came to her for treatments are now bringing their children for treatments too.  

There are actually two branches by L'Espace.  

L'Espace Sante
Mandarin Gallery #04-19
333A Orchard Road, (S) 238897
Telephone: 6235 2821
 
Operating hours:
  • Mon – Fri from 11am to 830pm
  • Sat from 10am to 7pm
  • Sun and Public Holidays from 10am to 6pm

L'Espace Beaute
Paragon Shopping Centre, #05-49
290 Orchard Road, (S) 238859
Telephone: 6238 8839
 
Operating hours:
  • Mon – Fri from 11am to 830pm
  • Sat from 10am to 7pm
  • Sun and Public Holidays from 10am to 6pm



L’Espace is headed by Lucille and her co-founder, former Sothys trainers, so customers can be assured of the most suitable Sothys customized treatments and home care regimes. 


Partner Salon of Sothys Paris

L'Espace use only the best treatments from Sothys Paris. Originated from France, it has the widest range of specialised treatments to deal with every skin issue. Most of these are exclusively developed for use by trained beauticians.

In Singapore, L-Espace is the only skin care salon headed by former Sothys Paris trainers.





 I can totally understand why customers come back for facial or body treatments... Lucille is such a friendly and sweet lady!  Even though she is the co-founder of two salons, she was so patient in explaining the Slimming Peeling/Wrap Body Treatment and answering all my questions.


I must say that the salon is very well designed making use of the high ceiling structure to create a magnificent feel to the environment.


 With the clever use of colours and lightings, the salon provides a cozy atmosphere which customers feel comfortable in.


 The passenger way leads to the four treatment rooms where customers have their treatments done.  One of the rooms has two beds, which is suitable for couples or mothers bringing their daughters along to do treatments together.

Just look at the ceiling... uniquely designed!

Aromatic scent for the room
The Signature Slimming Peeling/Wrap Body Treatment helps to exfoliate the skin, drain toxins out and decongests the skin.  It also promotes lipolytic action and boosts the effectiveness of skincare products.

The key ingredients in the Sothys product used for this treatment are marine salts(fine) + lactic acid (AHA), bitter orange extract and zeolite (mineral) to achieve the above actions.

When the beautician applied the product onto my body, it feels grainy and has a warming effect upon application.

The beautician performed exfoliation using kneading movements, starting from my legs, working up to the back of my body, then the front for about 10 minutes.

After that, I was wrapped in transparent film and a heating blanket for 20 mins before I rinsed myself under the shower.

The result was awesome!  My skin felt so smooth and silky after the treatment that I couldn't help but feel the texture of my skin on my arms over and over again.


Thanks L'Espace for the wonderful body treatment!

Also, L'Espace is so kind to extend 10% discount off any treatments for my readers as long as you quote my name 'Elaine Heng'. 

Below are the address of L'Espace Sante and the contact details.  Call to make your appointment so that you can also enjoy the wonderful treatments offered. :)

Kenjo Salon is my go to hair salon for all my hair needs.  With a last minute watsapp message to Joseph, the owner of Kenjo Salon, he was able to slot me in for a hairstyling session before my evening event.
