Who doesn’t love a mani and pedi? But as many of us are aware finding the perfect space to sit back and get your nails and feet done can sometimes be tricky. If it’s not a small spa that’s often too congested, it’s manicurists that don’t pay attention to detail or are a little rough with you. SOHO is one of the few exceptions.

The deco is refreshing and the space is quite big. While you get your mani and pedi, you can relax in a massage chair that de-stresses you so it’s really ideal to pay them a visit at the end of a long day.

I found the entire experience quite refreshing and relaxing. The staff is friendly and my mani and pedi looked amazing.

They also have a makeup artist and hairstylist that operate at the store. I really loved the fact that their approach wasn’t over the top. Just adding a bit of definition to my face and colour without making me look unrecognizable.

You should definitely give them a try for the next special event you’re attending.  It’s well worth it.
