Review: m'pir the nail bar
Salon. The quickest way to diffuse stress, agree?
So I tried to have my nails be pampered at least somehow at this so-called m'pir the nail bar.
It was partly hidden - I meant, unnoticeable at TANGS, Orchard. You see, TANGS is just a stone's throw away from where I live- I drag my pesky feet to grab a bagel or croissant at Tiong Bahru Bakery or score a piece of doughnut at the basement (which does not happen often as Krispy Kreme is so damn fattening hehe!)
So the very last thing I usually do when I dip my feet into CK TANGS is well - do my nails #donotjudge . I don't know about you but I do not shop then find time to do my nails afterwards. Whenever I want my nails be done, I do not shop afterwards either- i know, i know am a confusing rat. Anyway, here's my thoughts about m'pir.
Pronounced as em'pire, the nail salon is located at the 2nd level of TANGS, Orchard.
There were about 3 (or was it 4?) cubicles; loved the couches! A pretty straightforward salon, no steampunk decor of all sort; you know how some salons put up those kaleidoscopic work of art that doesn't make any connection with the establishment's theme in the first place? I also noticed that the environment is a bit sulky. Here is a glimpse of their price list:
PLUS
The service I got was classic manicure ($33 excl of GST) , I did not expect anything more. You know me, am the Miss Classic Color; basic chick? Yes.
- Decent nail polish application; staff works fast.
- Clean surroundings and stuff are really organized.
- Perhaps the one thing I loved about the experience was that they never pressured me when I was choosing the colors I want for my nail beds.
- The staff even would comment if the combination I wanted weren't a good choice at all. Also, type of nail polishes were explained to me but I can't be bothered to really pay attention to them that time, oops.
HICCUP
- They were a bit frigid they forgot to ask if I was even comfortable, if I was thirsty or if I want to read a magazine while waiting - or if the color is well-applied.
- Limited nail polish selection.
- Couches look quirky cool but does not offer actual comfort.
- Again, too hidden in my opinion.
