I'm about a week in, and my nails are still in great shape. I was told they can last up to three weeks! I got the cat-eye design, which I wouldn't recommend for short nails, but I'm getting used to it. I can definitely see myself coming back here, especially before vacations, for some fun designs.

I also tried out their eyelash extensions. I'm so impressed with the natural approach. The eyelashes are thin and soft unlike most salons that make them thick and uncomfortable.

This eased me a bit too much wanting to sleep, and not being awake to enjoy the massage.

(The service/the waiters/the owner) The service was subpar. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great service here. They just shook my feet, and touched my toes. They blindfolded me to put me at ease, but it didn't feel great really. It felt more like a pedicure than a massage.

Prosperous paradise spa is one of the only legit late night massage places in Chinatown. It's so…read morelegit that other masseuses from nearby places tend to choose this one as their favorite option after work. It would be hard to disagree, considering this is a place that reminds me of spas back in Asia. Undoubtably the prices skew somewhat higher, and while they offer credit cards as an option, the fee is almost never worth it. Cash is king and they will round up, because most items and with .99 (e.g. $49.99). What I would argue is the facility is nice enough to warn the slightly higher price and overall solid massage experience. First timers will be directed to a binder, with a breakdown of multiple massages at different prices, and for different lengths of time. I would recommend looking at their website, or doing a little bit of research prior to coming. Sometimes calling ahead of time will work, as the lady boss speaks good English and is able to set appointments based on preferences. Eventually, most folks will be directed to change in their locker rooms, which have showers, vanity mirrors, and personalized lockers. Surprisingly all of the lockers are out of order, which I suspect is a safety measure than a functionality issue. The men's locker room is spotless and offers multiple types of showers. However, none of the lockers are in use or are able to be used. While they do provide shorts and uniforms for people, they don't provide baskets or ways to hold the clothes. People basically have to carry it around. One of their best services is the foot massage. It's excellent and one of the better places in Chinatown to get it. Their massage chair is out in the open and is fancy enough to have a built-in sink for foot soaking and comfy enough cushion to lay flat for front and back. Additionally, they will eventually do a neck, shoulder, and back rub (over clothes + towel) and it remains one of their best valued options. The rooms are extremely clean. It's extremely professional the whole time. They offer back walking which is their version of a deep tissue massage. Unlike a lot of other Chinese massage places where it's questionable from a hygiene standpoint, there is no worry of this here. They offer full bottles of room temperature water for everyone and parking is a cinch. Ultimately one's experience varies with every masseuse, but the men that work here pull off a very good foot massage and that would be my biggest recommendation. If a body massage is needed, I recommend deep tissue, which usually involves backwalking. (#1) ___________ (#1) Also, quite good.

The shop is right on Fondren with plenty of parking available. You can walk in or make an appt ahead of time but they always have some availability.

Each time I'm left feeling good because the experience is great. Their prices are similar to old times ($40- gel pedicure and $25- regular manicure). If you're looking for a shop, check them out!

There's no rushing you from station to station to get you out the door. My nails curve naturally and they take time to shape and protect them from breaking.

The products they use don't leave dips in my nails and my nails are so protected that they survive at least a month of daily typing, furniture assembly, and playing with my energetic dog.

The vibes in this spa is pretty light, when we visit always have packed of clients for nail service. They have more services that we haven't tried and hopefully could still get to try it.
