With my feet basking in a Chinese herb-enriched footbath, a neck and shoulder massage (that lasted roughly 10 minutes or so) immediately relieved my inner stresses and strains.
#Relaxing foot spa skin
We kicked off with a foot scrub and I can honestly say: if there was any dead skin on my feet before the scrub, there certainly wasn’t by the time it was done! Although slightly uncomfortable at certain points (mainly because the tops of my feet had been sunburnt the weekend prior), the scrub was thorough and effective, leaving my tootsies feeling soft, smooth and radiant. With my feet crying out for a dose of TLC, I opted for the Zhen Foot Massage – one of their most popular signature treatments. I was instantly impressed by the spaciousness of the spa with an urban garden set in the middle of the main treatment area and an impressive selection of magazines, I downed a few sips of ginger tea and happily sunk into one of Zhen’s soft, low-set seats.
Offering a robust range of foot, body, lymphatic and pre-natal massages, along with scraping, cupping, Chinese physician therapy, manis and pedis, the list of treatment options is impressive. Located in the epicentre of LKF, Zhen is an urban oasis that offers peace and tranquillity above the bustling pedestrian traffic below. Luckily, with a world of reflexology and massage joints dotted across the city, we have no shortage of places in HK to ease that unwanted tension! Feeling sliiiiiightly stressed and a tad run down recently, I was delighted to be invited to try out a new pampering spot in town, Zhen Foot Spa & Body Massage. With the men's pedicure right there on the list of services and the chance for a massage thrown in, I'm hoping next time I can get my husband to join me.Given the nature of busy life in hectic Hong Kong, I’m always on the lookout for more ways to unwind and relax. It's too expensive to do regularly, but I'm looking forward to another opportunity to splurge. The focus is on relaxation, so they keep it quiet and expect patrons to, too. I had read it in reviews on other sites and it's true, so I'll share it here - this is not the place to go with a noisy group. My masseuse was equally solicitous and did a good job. No communication problems, all the nail technicians seemed to be good about checking whether the water temperature was right, if something hurt (or tickled), asking about the length or shape of nail desired - and when the guy next to me got overwhelmed by the different scents, they grabbed him a water when he started coughing. Obviously that's not always the case, but it means you don't have to have an appointment if you find yourself in the area and willing to wait. They couldn't promise how long it would take, as they have to squeeze them in between the appointments they already have, but his wait ended up being less than 10 minutes. I made an appointment ahead of time and was served promptly, but they did take a walk-in while I was there. I had water, but a group of 3 (2 women and a man - in the 6 chairs the day I was there, 2 of the customers were men) were thrilled to be served red wine. The massage cost a little more, but it's so worth it!įor all pedicures, you are served a "menu" when you sit down - on one side are the scents you can choose for the bath water, and on the other side are the drinks you can choose from. Then they move you to a regular chair and pull a dryer up to your feet so that you make sure the polish is set before you leave. Next you move to a quiet, darkened room for the massage (a foot massage with a little extra time for scalp, hands, shoulders/neck) and then you come back to a traditional chair to have polish applied. You start in a traditional pedicure chair (massage chair, foot bath) to have your nails prepped (everything but the polish). If you add a foot massage to your pedicure, it's a 4 step process. I worried about the logistics of getting a massage with wet nail polish. The first reviewer did a great job of explaining how things work.
