Sunday 21st April - Manh salon

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?
