Beauty & Wellness # 3 : Relax,have a massage!

According to Wikepedia, Massage is the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being.

According to me - I need a massage today!

My 'ate' (elder sister) is not feeling well so she asked me if I'd like to go with her for a massage. Of course, I'd love to. I like going to spa & massage centres to relieve me from stress and body tensions. It allows me to relax and be pampered.

We went to ByG Salon in SM Fairview. I've been here for a few times already and I must say, the service is good and the price is affordable. One hour body massage (traditional filipino massage) costs only Php250. I've been to different massage outlets in SM Fairview and this is the cheapest but have a nice ambience and good massage. The room is good for 2 people with curtain partition and scented candles.




Other massage parlors in SM Fairview that I have tried:
Panda Zhu
-tried the promo: Php399/2 for 45 mins plus Php150 (footsoak with 10mins back massage)
-service and massage is great
-soothing room ambience
-will GO BACK here

Nisce Skin & Facial Salon
-this is always fully-booked, so I thought service is great
-reserved for 2 pax massage - which is Php350/hr per pax
-room ambience not good  (very well lighted that you cant feel relaxed)
-the therapist didnt even ask me what kind of massage I want and just started massaging me (what I want is  Swedish/Shiatsu Massage that I told her after she started)
-will NOT GO BACK here for massage

King Massage
-Php 350/hr
-common room for 4 pax
-service and massage is good
-can still GO BACK here in case other massage parlor is not avail

I forgot the other one that I tried for foot massage before...the one who did the massage was a guy (first time that I let a guy do my foot massage) well, that caused some bruises on my legs due to the hand pressure done (maybe its because he's a male that no matter how light he seem to massage me, the pressure is still hard for my legs)

But anyway, stress or not, its still a good time to go and have a massage -just to relax... or just to pamper yourself.
