I wandered to Manh today to get my
fortnightly manicure and pedicure. I love this salon on Mare Street.
Nail bars in Hackney are numerous. I have tried a few but none beat
Manh.
Manh is a little more expensive than
the standard nail bar in Hackney (e.g. £25 for a pedicure), but
still very reasonable. Inside Manh, you can literally get everything
you can think of done, from hair cuts / colours, to waxing to
threading to massages to nails.
I can only comment on the beauty side
of things, as haven't taken advantage of the hairdressing as I
already have a hairdresser that I love.
The beauty side is run by Mimi and she
has team of Katie, Ling and a new thai masseuse (who's name I can't
remember - sorry). Katie is by far the best nail technician I have
ever come across. I was a habitual nail biter when I started going to
this salon and now I have nice healthy nails. The thai massages are
amazing. Spending 50+hrs a week hunched over a computer means I quite
often have a sore back. An hour long massage is £40 which is superb
value. However, the massage is technically very good, that I treat it
like a cheap version of physio.
My favourite bit about the salon is how
friendly everyone is. For me, when I go its like catching up with
friends. Did I mention they make the best cup of green tea?
