MANILA, Philippines - When you want a quick beauty pick-me-up with a little pampering and relaxation, head straight to Manos Nail Lounge on Burgos Circle.
Manos, which means hands in Spanish, is the brainchild of three friends who wanted not just to create a unique spa experience but also promote social and environmental consciousness in the process.
Manos evokes the age-old Filipino value of “pagmamano,” a sign of respect for the elderly. At Manos, respect is apparent in the way the owners treat their clients, employees, the well-trained therapists, and suppliers.
Respect for the environment is a cornerstone of the establishment as well. Manos only uses natural products — scrubs, and lotions grown organically and nail lacquers without toxins — and uses eco-friendly products (LED lights and energy-saving appliances).
The Manos experience combines modern nail care techniques with traditional Filipino elements. Services range from the Classic Mani and Pedi to luxurious spa treatments that use Filipino products made of 100-percent natural ingredients. Aside from nail care, they also offer spa services such as waxing and massage. Guests can enjoy a cup of coffee or have a cocktail with friends while they relax and indulge in the treatments. Manos also offers sparty packages.
Manos Nail Lounge, located at Unit 2-I Crescent Park Residences, Bonifacio Global City, is open every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
