I have mixed feelings about this place. I go here because…read moreit's closer to home when I go back on my flip-flops. (High heels & sneakers, those are the only shoes I seem to be able to walk on ladylike, flip-flops, not so much). But it's a messy place today: customer's plastic bags are on the floor in the middle of the room, the used towels are visibly piling up behind the counter, the stack of magazines need to be sorted. By gones. It's pedi-time. I have never had another treatment before other than a pedi and my feet are well taking care of again, they seem to know what they are doing. Although at times a bit painful... Nevertheless for someone who usually hates her feet being touched I can honestly recommend the Happy Feet treatment: it's quick and professional, and cheaper than Soap Treatment Store. Plus you can get an appointment faster than at STS. (Yes I am the kinda woman who decides a couple hours in advance to get a pedi) The girls are quite thorough (ok and painful) but don't make senseless conversations. Looking at my phone whilst writing this review helps, albeit not very social from my side, so sorry 'bout that (ok not really :)) 2 tips if you get a pedi - bring your favorite color, although they do have a small selection of colorful nailpolish (brand OPI) - bring your own flip flops, so you can leave earlier. Well, unless you also like watching paint to dry. If so, they close at 9pm, go knock yourself out ;)

So nice to have a great pedicure in a nice atmosphere with good music and tea. Foot massage amazing.read more

Recalling back on my first years in Amsterdam, I'm not sure what it was…read more.. Was it the extreme gezelligheid that sums up my life in Amsterdam? Was it the weed soaked wind brushing through my smiling face ever morning biking to work? Or perhaps the gezonde broodje... wasn't gezond at all.... Whatever the cause, I had some maaaajor hair loss after coming to Amsterdam. I got a buzz cut, starting wearing hats and despite knowing better, I grew out the sides so I could cover the top. Well... that was until I discovered the Hair Science Institute. One of the few institutes in the world that does hair stemcell transplants and not just hair t-plants. As cheesy as this almost commercial-like Yelp review sounds, I'm a very happy customer from HSI! Making my first trek over to the Zuid, where the HSI stands, I was nervous. If you've also been in a balding predicament, you've all probably done the same research as I. The are other options; some painful, some cheaper, but in the end , I chose HSI. So here I stand at the front door, not knowing what to expect.... I ring the door bell and as soon as the thick double doors opened, I could hear my surviving hair follicles sigh in relief. This place is amazing! Looks like a high tech doctor's office, the people are super nice and really welcoming. You might be thinking... Dennis... kom op! They are just being nice because they want your money. Be that as it may, I really like the guys here. It reminds me of a family clinic like Full House meets Greys Anatomy. After a quick consultation answering all my questions, I KNEW this was the place. Even for the indecisive, the professionals at HSI can give you recommendations for treatment options. You also might be thinking it's too expensive. In some cases, they can give you a huuuuuuge discount if you allow trainees to do some of the implants. It doesn't reduce quality - it just takes more time. During the treatment, I felt like I was at a spa! Your head is basically numb so it just feels like a massage against your now dry leathery scalp. I got to watch movies and eat whatever I wanted through the day and when I left, I was refreshed, looking like a monk, and now with a new scalp. It's now three days post-treatment and as soon as I get some before and after pictures, I'll post them here. Either way, GREAT place and really happy with my choice! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go by some hairnets for my future afro.
