Renaza (Palais Renaissance)

I was attracted to this place because of their anniversary promotion which ended in Sept 2014. The deal of $38 for a facial / gua sha was tempting and I decided to check it out with my friend in tow.

We both opted for the facial and arrived on a Sunday afternoon where there was no crowd at all. The lady receptionist who welcomed us was very friendly and assisted us with the formalities of filling in a form etc. We had the choice of a the type of facial to have and I opted for a diamond chemical peel which supposed cleans up the face very nicely but 'vacumning' the dirt from your pores and basically gives your skin a fresh glow as the peel removes a very thin layer of your skin - usually the dead, tired, and dirty layer.

The room I was brought into was clean and functional. The therapist asked me to change into the facial robe, then she left, and I was left alone for 15mins before I got a little annoyed and walked outside in the robe to ask the receptionist what's happening. She explained that they are a little overbooked and the therapist is trying to finish up the previous customer before attending to me - I am fine with unexpectedly delays like this but at least let me know?

The treatment itself was comfortable but I didnt fall asleep.The diamond peel was alright and it felt like a tiny vacumn cleaner working on your face. Also, they do extractions but without steaming your face. Strange.

Thankfully there were no hardselling of packages after the treatment, just a cup of tea waiting for us.

An okay experience but not nice enough for me to want to return.
