Cecilia Westberry Beauty Spa (Holland)

I was looking for an economical waxing service provider somewhere in the west side of Singapore and after browsing many other search results, i decided on cecilia. I decide when i see these words: Cheapest, Fast, Good and used to be situated in Palais Renaissance whom I vaguely recall is where CYC the Custom shop is situated. So i made an appointment on the same day i decided and good thing.. they have a slot available for me.

Locating the place is not difficult with the many detailed information given on the website and not forgetting the trusty travel advises given to me by the lady who made my reservation which i believe is Cecilia herself. It was a very interesting location! I walked pass the void decks of some HDB flats, a multi-storey carpark and a coffee-shop with resident uncles talking about their pet birds.. (i know this sounds funny), chomping about the latest gossips and sipping their KOPI-O. There in the midst of the Local HDB casual lifestyle setting is a really posh clean white shop front with a sleek glass door and Cecilia Westberry Beauty Spa labeled in italics. The contrast is just simply AMAZING.

As i entered, i noticed everything is clean cool white, the sofa, the shiny white table, the curtains, all the other decos, even the stair-case. I was greeted by a warm smile behind the counter and I volunteered my appointment information, filled up a simple form and was showed up to a room upstairs for my treatment.

The place is not exactly big but looking at their menu, they do have alot going on here. They have a good array of economic and specialized facial treatments, body treatments, slimming programs, waxing, manicure/pedicure and some very exclusive treatments. It warm and cosy and the staffs seemed to know their customers well. Its very much like family.

Now for my treatment, I was very much surprised that the lady actually asked me to keep all my clothes on. Its really a first time experience for me and I was excited. It was really really fast and throughout the whole session i did not have time to really chat as strip wax was used and though fast, it could really remove very fine hairs but its more painful then using hard wax. The result was not exactly near to perfection and its not as clean as I was told. However, the experience was a pleasant one mainly due to the service attitude of all the staffs there.

While waiting to make payment, I overheard a conversation between 2 customers and the staff.. It was a positively pleasant conversation and the customer seemed really happy and satisfied with whatever service is offered. While making payment, there was no hard selling or pushy sales talk. I was also given a copy of their price list of all the services available which if i'm not mistaken is also available on their website.

The most hilarious part was when i exited the shop, that is where i get the stares from the kopitiam uncles, they must really be wondering why these women go in and out of this clinic looking shop, matter of fact.. it must definitely be controversial if they know what we do inside there...

For everything else I would give a good 4 star, except for waxing as I noticed too many strays for my liking and strip wax is still painful though speed do help in enduring the process. I will visit again for their services... Keep up the good service...
