@BE Sanctuary Spa Taka

Went to catch up with Jasmine from ManuLife @2pm @DeliFrance Taka. As alwaz, the chat with Jasmine was great! I then went for my facial appt @BE Sanctuary Spa located inside Taka @4:30pm with Sis. As usual, Sis was late... But this time, only for 5mins.. Haha!

When we reached, one of the staff asked us to fill up our particulars on a form. By the time we finished fillin up, it was already 5pm! Sis went to another separate room.. The beautician who was supposed to attend to me was delayed by her previous customer. When she started on my beauty regime, it was already 5:10pm..

The whole process went quite smoothly.. The equipment used was good. At least it managed to get rid of most of the impurities on my face painlessly. Squeezin was inevitable for the more stubborn blackheads.. Haha! But still, it was not as painful as my current beautician. The beautician who served me was friendly, and din try to hard-sell me too, which is the most important thing as I get realli turned off by ppl who try to hard-sell me..

As expected, after the whole facial regime ended, she introduced some facial packages to me. She tols me that they're havin a promo now, and dat I can get to enjoy 20 times facial for the price of $1.2k instead of the usual 10 times. She even mentioned dat I can share the package with my Sis, which makes it $600 for each of us. I find the price reasonable as it's only $10/time more expensive compared to my current one. Moreover, each facial by BE Sanctuary Spa comes with a firmin eye mask! Ya know, the area ard the eye is REALLI important as we grow older. But still, I told the beautician dat I needa tink it over as I wanna discuss with my Sis 1st (my Sis had already rushed off to catch a movie, leavin me to face the "battle" alone). The beautician okayed.. She then walked outta the room for a while. When she came back, she said dat she's able to offer me either another 5 times facial treatment, or 5 times eye treatment for the same $600! Wow! So meanin to say $600 for 15 times facial treatment! Dat's a very good deal! I signed the package on the spot then!

I was feelin rather satisfied abt the whole thingy until a female manager came into the room while the beautician who was servin me went out to settle the payment for me after I've passed her my credit card. This female manager tried to talk me into signin another type package which cost $900 for 35 times. The amt seems reasonable except dat I dun tink I need dat type of package now. She then turned hostile, and tried to hard-sell me! I got rather angry as the beautician was still takin her own sweet time to come in so dat the female manager has more time to hard-sell (when I've already made it clear to her dat I DUN LIKE to b HARD-SELL!). And, most importantly, I do NOT have the time to let the female manager hard-sell me more as Darlin is waitin for me so dat he can send me to Granny's place for dinner!

Luckily, the bill settlement was done b4 I couldn't control myself. I flew as fast as I could to meet Darlin @Wheelock. Then I went to Granny's house for dinner while Darlin went for his appt. By the time, Darlin came to fetch me home, it was already 11pm. We stayed @Granny's place till 11:45pm as Darlin has not visited Granny since CNY Eve.

Next was Home Sweet Home!
