I recently visited this place for a facial with pristine and wart removal on recommendation of my…read morecousin who had previously had been pleased with their services. This time, the services were very disappointing. There was minimal effort in what they called cleaning, which was all they call facial. What they sell as pristine was some vacuum procedure that was very brief. When we asked why the whole process took less than 15 minutes, they argued that it was more time than that and that there was no need to do anything else. They say they don't do facial mask, or massage, or moisturizer or anything else, as our skins were perfect. There's a reason we requested a facial. It was not welcoming at all and it felt like we took too much of their precious time. I had warts cauterized but Lestie missed a couple obvious ones sitting right on the tip of my nose. I had to return the next day to get it removed and with much arguing . Both these brief express, lackluster treatments costed me close to 8000 pesos, plus my cousin's 2,400. I prefer not to write negative reviews, but in this instance, I want to warn people to go elsewhere. Take a chance on somewhere else than this surely expensive disappointment. And don't enable this establishment to exist.

I think many of us look for a place to be pampered and be treated with amazing customer service…read morethat will treat our skin and face with the upmost care right? Facets and figures have been nonetheless the place to go for everything that I have mentioned above. Their instruments are amazingly clean, their technology is advanced, on top of having such nice workers who are kind, soft spoken, and are willing to make your experience at Facets & Figures one to remember and come back for more treatments. They offer a wide range of treatments such as skin/armpit whitening, advanced and quick results in their skillful beauty treatments, facials with diamond peels, and more. All that come with amazing results that leave you happy with your experience. Plus their venue is so cute, and their owner is even cuter! ;) which who is always there and on call for any questions or concerns that you may have about booking an appointment or just have any questions regarding their services. So if you're ever in QC, and want to wipe away the stress that your every day may bring, F&F is the place to be! The locations is so convenient too, with restaurants and coffee (SB & Mr. parks) nearby, you can begin or end your day with an amazing facial!

Prior to deciding to get off the chemical train when it comes to the food that I eat and products…read morethat I eat, I was a regular patron of House of Obagi Center for Dermatology, better known as Obagi for short. Let me get straight to the point: this place is not cheap. With their signature facial treatment priced at a little less than P3,000, that ought to give you an idea of what this place's products are worth. Initially, my first few facials were incident-free. I really did see a difference in the way that my skin looked afterward, but the last time I did the facial, white dots that look a lot like warts (but aren't) formed on the side of my face. This was the last time I did the facial. The dots are still there. Nevertheless, I think it's important to state that everyone's skin reacts differently to different products so it doesn't mean that this will happen to you too. Just sharing my honest experience. The laser diode treatment is what I vouch for as the procedure was effective and virtually painless. Their doctors are also very professional and helpful, as is the staff. Best part about paying the one-time consultation fee is that you can come back anytime thereafter to consult with the derma without having to pay anything else.

Wrinkle-free and baby-smooth skin is a promise that most products, treatments, and skin centers…read morehave been offering to women. To fulfill their word, these have to undergo thorough research by experts in the dermatological field. One that is guaranteed to have a team of legitimate and licensed dermatologists and plastic surgeons in their medical team is House of Obagi (HOO), an esteemed Center for Dermatology that offers a high-quality approach to beauty while still being the licensed distributor of prescription-based, skin care brand Obagi. Existing in excellence for 25 years, Obagi has been a trusted medical brand all over the world and has been delivering game-changing skin transformation through their skin care products and programs. One of their newest systems, the Obagi 360 Series, is a sequence of treatments to whiten, to clear blemishes, and to revitalize the skin's youth. The process involves a licensed Obagi dermatologist applying on the patient the Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel which detoxifies the skin of impurities, and then the Nu-derm Toner which allows for the Obagi system to be properly incorporated to the skin. Nu-derm Clear aims to whiten and even out the skin tone, while Nu-derm Exfoderm smooths the skin surface. The Blender then improves the skin cells to improve skin radiance. The Sunshield SPF 50 is put on to protect the skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays, thus preventing fine lines and wrinkles. Also, the Obagi Elasticderm Eye Cream is placed around the eye area to aid in collagen and elastin synthesis, reducing wrinkles around the eyes. Lastly, the TR Complex is used to work in synergy with the Obagi Nu-derm Blender for skin to improve its texture and over-all appearance.

In the past decade or so, the spa industry has experienced tremendous growth. It seems that places…read morethat offer all sorts of massage - Swedish, Japanese shiatsu, even the Filipino hilot - have been sprouting like mushrooms all over Metro Manila. My personal favourite is Thai massage because it's less icky. It's dry because no oils or lotions are applied to the body. I've tried several places that offer Thai massage and the latest place that I visited is known as Nuat Thai. Don't ask me what 'Nuat' means because I don't have a clue. Nuat Thai has several branches all over the metropolis. Lucky for me there's one along Dona Soledad Avenue Extension in Paranaque City, where I live. I went there not too long ago because I felt that I needed to iron out the kinks as well as the aches and pains all over my bod. Actually, I try to go to a spa once or twice a month. This branch that I visited looks pretty small from the outside. It was mid-afternoon when I entered and I had to ask if they were open. They were. So I said I wanted a regular Thai massage, which goes for the usual P300 for one hour service. "Male or female?" the receptionist asked. I said female. Little did I know that I would get both. Or neither. I'll explain the political incorrectness shortly. For the record, I've tried male masseurs before and found that in general the guys don't know their own strength. Too painful. I took off my shoes and got the usual washing of my feet. Then I was led to a cubicle where I was given a pair of shorts and pajama tops. The usual nature sounds was playing. I lay back and relaxed, hoping that this masseuse was no newbie. Yup, she was properly trained and I was totally relaxed at the end of the hour. I prepared the usual P100 tip that I give when I am satisfied with the service. Since the cubicle was dark, I had to ask the receptionist who my masseuse was. "Ako po," said the person whom I didn't recognize because the cubicle was dark and also because my eyes have seen better days. "What's your name again?" I asked. Actually I never asked in the first place. "Victor po," the masseuse answered. It was then that I noticed that Victor had some facial hair that almost passed for a mustache. Yup, I had been given a pretty good Thai massage by what is now referred to as a transgender. Did it make any difference? In a word, no. The service was pretty good. The Nuat Thai Foot & Body Massage is located at 187 Dona Soledad Extension, Better Living Subdivision, Barangay Don Bosco, Paranaque City. It's open from Monday to Sunday, noon till midnight. If you like Thai massage and are from the area, it's worth a try.

Couldn't wait to try this place as I have been really sore since I came to the Philippines. I saw…read morethat this place had rave reviews on Google versus Yelp so I added them to the map on Yelp for me to review after. I am glad we tried this place! It was a very short distance from our condo and located on the corner street of Pearl St and Amethyst St. It's on the outside of Residence 8888 so its easy to find. We called when they opened for an appt and it was easy to speak to her what I wanted and when was the best time...all said in English. Upon entering their establishment, we were greeted warmly and with a smile. The place was nicely decorated. We had to pay first before we started which was fine with me. They had different packages for pretty decent prices. We started with a warm soak of our feet. Then we were directed to a couples room for my mom and I. The room seems a little outdated then outside but it's dark once you begin the massage. I choice their package 1 but extend half hour more for the body to make it a two hour section. My two hour section went by fast. I think I was half asleep the whole time. Dani's hands were very warm and firm but she was not too hard on me. The room was a little warm so it helped to relax me. My mom's masseuse Lizel was good according to my mom. Ronna in front was very nice, friendly and accommodating to all our questions! We will be back before we leave the Philippines and since we are a regular in this area, we are sure to be back! [10/100]

We visit to get our massage treatments whenever we visit the Philippines. It is a bit pricier than other places but well worth it with the services they offer. With the new location, they only have private rooms for massages. We snooked the premier suite that comes with steam Bath and shower. Our first treatment was Sea salt body scrub to remove the dead skin. Next we had our choice of massage... had the deep tissue and my wife had the Swedish massage. Boy, they are strong. My back was sore and they were able to relieve some of the stiffness from seating. They told me to come back for another round as my back is still stiff and and need another massage. Last was the Thai foot massage (with stick). That as a bit painful... and it's only painful if there is something wrong. In my case, plenty. lol. Fell asleep as they were working on my right foot. That's always a good sign if you feel so relieved from the massage that you fell asleep. Definitely going back. My body was a little sore after but that's also good sign. They do have a service charge when you first pay your bill but you have an option of adding a little tip esp if you like the service you received.

OMG So, I decided to…read morecheck this place out right before I catch my flight back to California and it WAS amazing. Besides the fact they opened approximately 10 minutes after the hour (Filipino Time), I was greeted promptly, shown the services, and led directly to the men's locker room.

I would definitely go here again when I have the opportunity. Also, this place did not seem to need a reservation. Walk-ins welcome.

The total time the facial and the threading took was about 2 1/2 hours long which was great. The massage that accompanied the service was not that great though.

The place is not new and it shows, but they have this combination service that I really like. A one hour massage goes for P200 there. A one hour body scrub goes for P300. But get the two services combined and you only have to pay P450. The P50 savings is still P50, isn't it? You can add it to the tip you can give your masseuse if you're happy with the service. I almost always get the combined service because the body scrup can work wonders on your skin. I really don't know what they rub on you, but it feels like sand or salt, so it's rough on the skin. But the results can be amazing. I mean you end up with youthful skin with a glow right after. The body scrub usually comes first, after which you take a shower to get rid of that icky feeling of lying on a bed of sand. What follows is a standard massage. It's the combination of the two that leaves one feeling like a million bucks. The place has separate facilities for men and women, of course. The ladies are serviced on the ground floor, the men on the second. I like to give a standard tip of P100 to the masseuse because as far as I'm concerned, the service is totally worth it.
