Another Choices for Spa Lovers at Bandung

Here it is my little review about another SPA center at Bandung city besides Martha Tilaar Salon & Day Spa, which I have reviewed previously. Yesterday, my beloved housemate and me were in such a fatigue condition, so we decided to relax ourselves at some place. Then, we went to Rumah Cantik Citra to have some face relaxation and Lemongrass SPA to have full body treatment.

First review comes to Rumah Cantik Citra. Rumah Cantik Citra at Bandung is located at Jalan Sunda, next to Yogya Supermarket. My visit yesterday was the first visit and it successfully impressed me. To have some relaxation with very minimum budget, you all can actually go there. The treatments are quite complete, which are hand and foot spa, face relaxation, body scrub, and body massage. All treatments are paid by buying Citra products, and each price is not more than Fifty Thousands. Hand and foot spa is priced 10k, face relaxation is 20k, body scrub is 40k, and body massage 40k. After the treatment, you can use the all the products there FREE :) If you use Citra products daily, it will really benefits you. Talking about the place, you dont have to worry cause it is such a nice and comfy place. Theme of the decor is using Citra products' colour, which is creme, baby pink, and light green. Service from the therapists are also quite satisfying.

My tips: if you want to go there at weekend, you better book first, especially for body treatment because the number of the customer is doubled than on the weekdays. That's we experienced yesterday :(

So, three words that can represent Rumah Cantik Citra on my head are relax, cozy, cheap, and product :)

And last review surely comes to Lemongrass Spa. At first, we didn't really intend to go there. But, because we both didn't feel satified at Rumah Cantik Citra. Why??? Cos we only got face relaxation, but we want more :( Therefore, automatically, our body and mind lead us here hehehe. I think I should compare this now to Martha tilaar Salon & Day Spa because they are ini same range of prices and have similarities in choices of treatment. Yesterday, we both tried the promo package, consisting of body massage, body scrub, face relaxation, and ear candle. Those four treatments are priced for 185k.

Choices of treatment here are complete, such as many types of massage (traditional, thai, shiatsu, and reflection), body scrub, face relaxation, ear candle,pre marital treatment, and post natal treatement. Males are also welcome here. There may be therapist for male customers. Unique features that offered by Lemongrass are may be its decor theme. The theme is all about Bali stuff, from the furnitures, buildings, until the scent. The most different feature offered here is whirl pool, but unfortunately it's not in private room, it is shared, so women with hijab can't use it :(

Compare to Martha Tilaar, I still prefer Martha Tilaar. Though both use the same traditional decore theme, but LG SPA looks more darka and wet. And unfortunately there are no aromatheraphy scent and instrumental play in treatment room. For me, it really help us to relax our body and mind. The equipment used is also better seen at Martha Tilaar, looks more clean, dry, and neat. But, overall for the quality of treatment, LG Spa is just the same wth MT Spa I think. Especially for the massage, me.. like so much neck and back part :)

Oiya, finally we tried the ear candle. I thought this treatment will hurt our ears, but it felt good though. It only consumes 10 minutes for both right and left ears. The treatment uses specialized paper to be burned out above our ears. While the paper is burning, the therapist will massage our ears to help the ears clean itself.

So, what I can say is in the same range of prices, LG Spa is cheaper than MT Spa. In quality of treatment, both are good. In comfort of rooms, MT Spa's rooms are more mild and cozy :)

That's all my review.. wish it helps you find the spa spot you need :)

Dit Edit Edit

Hehehe... I barely can't stop my self not to edit every photos I want to upload hehehe :) Maklum, I'm not a pro in photography, jadi aq hanya bisa edit edit foto yang biasa2 saja.. bahkan foto yang diambil dengan kamera handphone hihii.. dan.. Alhamdulillah sekarang sudah ada free aplication untuk edit2 foto sesuai yang kita inginkan dengan berbagai menu yang sudah tersedia. Aplikasi yang tidak berbayar ini kualitasnya gak kalah jauh dengan yang berbayar. Aplikasi gratis tersebut diantaranya adalah:

1. PHOTOSCAPE
Aplikasi ini sangat user friendly dan pilihan menu editnya banyak banget. Dengan aplikasi ini aq bisa betah edit-edit at least for 2 hours. Yang aq suka dari aplikasi ini itu disediakan menu preview dulu dari menu filter yang mau kita pilih. Aplikasi ini bisa diunduh gratis. Just find it with Uncle Google :) Ini contoh hasil dari photoscape *mulai dey narsismenya :)


2. PICASA
Aplikasi keluaran Google ini juga user friendly, sayangnya bitenya besar sekali jadi terkadang klo RAm PC/Laptop/Netbook-nya kurang besar suka bikin lambreta. Ini contoh hasil dari Picasa :) *lagi yah narsisnya...


Ada juga software online yang bisa diakses kalo kita mau edit2 foto tanpa harus mengunduh ke PC/laptop kita, diantaranya adalah:
3. PIXLR
Editor online ini hampir sama dengan aplikasi Photoscape, hanya saja menu previewnya tidak ada :( Ini contoh hasil dari pixlr :)

4. PHOTOFUNIA
5. etc :)

Semuanya bisa dicari di Om Google :) Silakan mencicipi ^_^
