I’m sure you know of manicuristas who can go to your house to do a manicure/pedicure. NAILICIOUS does that but takes the hand-and-foot service to a whole new level. Owner Lizelle Tan says: “Nailicious is an at-home nail salon that guarantees you the ultimate pampering experience. Sit back and relax while our nail technicians expertly care for your nails, hands, feet, and even your hair! No worries! We bring all the nail salon tools, equipment, towels, scrubs, all imported polish.”
Apart from nail services, they also offer hand and foot spa, hair spa, hair removal, and now, even full-body massage. (See Menu below for a complete list of services and prices). They also have party packages for theme parties, and even for little girls!
After going through their menu, my friend, Lanie, and I decided to give Nailicious a try.
Their services start with the basic Nailicious Manicure/Pedicure (P280), which I tried together with the Delish Hand Spa (P180) and Delish Foot Spa (P250).
Nailicious Manicure/Pedicure (45mins-1hr): “Our signature manicure/pedicure includes nail shaping, cuticle care, moisturizing massage, and application of imported nail polish or buff to high shine.”
At P280, this is a very good deal considering they use brands like Esse, Opi, and The Face Shop. They even bring their own lamps in case there isn’t enough lighting in your home. I am very satisfied with the work because they were really gentle with the cuticles—no hangnails or reddish spots—or worse, wounds—from over-cutting. The nail polish also lasted a long time.
The works—rubber mat, basin, heater, foot spa machine
Delish Hand Spa (30mins): “This mango-mandarin hand spa begins with a refreshing mango scrub followed with a moisturizing mandarin mask, tension relief massage using velvety rich moisture treatment leaving your hands and lower arms soft and supple.”
I was surprised by how rough the first stroke felt on my arm because I am not used to scrubs! But I guess you need it for exfoliation. So I just opted for a light massage for my arms and legs.
Fruity scrubs
Delish Foot Spa (45mins): “This foot spa includes a relaxing soak in a warm minty footbath, exfoliation of feet and lower leg, with your choice of milk, fresh bamboo, or lemongrass.”
I really liked how my abused heels and soles turned out really soft and smooth after a good exfoliation. My attendant, Fe, even applied “foot blush”—which is a rosy tint to make soles look like a baby’s for about 3 days.
Lanie, meanwhile, tried the Berry Raspberry Manicure P250 (1 hour 30 mins) and the Stiletto Pedicure P300 (1 hour 45 mins). Basically she got everything I got—a warm soak, a hand and foot scrub, and massage, plus a manicure and pedicure—minus the cold mask.
For the three items I picked, my total damage was P710; Lanie’s P550. I’d say it was worth it and we would definitely call them again. Just take note of the time indicated for each service. We had one attendant each, and the whole spa experience took 3 hours excluding the preparation and pack up time. But if you’re only having a regular mani-ped, an hour should be enough time.
====================
Which areas do you service, and is there a minimum amount? For now we service Pasig, San Juan, Mandaluyong, Katipunan, and Makati areas. There is a minimum of P280 for Pasig, San Juan, Mandaluyong, and Katipunan; and P400 for Makati.
What are your business hours? We operate from 1pm to 9 pm daily.
How do we book Nailicious? Please call us at 634-3127 or 0928-500-2182 for your preferred time. We are on call but we do encourage clients to book a day before, or even earlier especially during weekends and peak hours (6-8pm). For spa parties, there is a minimum consumable amount of P2,000.

September 5th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
Thanks janice for the number. I’ll try to call NAILS@HOME. I already tried Nail Loft and was not satisfied. Iba pa din if you’re in the comforts of your home. Nail Loft don’t do home services, that’s why I was anxious to bring nailicious to QC.

September 8th, 2007 at 11:45 am

September 9th, 2007 at 8:05 am
I live in lavista and tried alot of home service but only Nails at Home would come on time. Very professional, kudos!
September 10th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
lizzieg, nailicious service in new manila too
tried them over the weekend, very professional! the products they use smell so good. and their tools are so girly! even the thread for threading was pink.
i plan to call them every two weeks for hand and feet maintenance!
September 10th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
oops, i meant serviceS in new manila too.
September 12th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
hi 1975, i agree. i value my time and nothing is more upsetting than a late appointment. i tried nailicious over the weekend and was very dissapointed. they were about an hour late. you shouldn’t over book, not keep your clients waiting.
September 12th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
I tried Nailicious and they came 25 minutes before my appointment! I was impressed!
Spaholic, sad to hear they were late….that’s not good nga.
September 17th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
i have bad experience with home service anything, they always keep me waiting. I guess the traffic and all. good to choose a more reliable one. I’l try Nails at Home, i read bout them in an article in inquirer, supposedly they’re the pioneer in this kind of thing.
September 19th, 2007 at 4:08 am
oh god! this is sooooooo great! thanks for the post! =)
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:52 am
Me and my cousin were left home and my mom gave us money so we can have home service we were looking thru the paper when I saw something in the latest Candy Magazine it says that nailicious is reliable, and the services are inexpensive we surfed the net and found this site and their multiply link
when we saw the list it was so inexpensive and yet they have so many services to pick from! So we called yesterday only to know that they are closed! We cried so much cause it was closed! anyway maybe i’ll try it today=)
November 25th, 2007 at 9:26 am
i tried their Stilleto Pedicure! i super love it! and they really do come on time…they can deliver the same service nail spas do without compromising quality and the pamper me factor
try it! it’s sooooooo worth your money!
January 30th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
I just want you to know that I tried your services and after just 2 hours the polish chipped off, as in the entire polish ha! I know you use imported polish but this never happens to me with other nail salon. Just thought you might want to know.

We are sorry to hear that your nails are ruined:( We looked at our records to check who did your nails but unfortunately, we do not have your name in our records. However, please be assured that we try to do our best to give the best in nail service. Hope you try us again.

I tried Nailicious tonight and requested the Ultralicious Foot Spa, specifically because of the 40 minute massage. This was in addition to a mani-pedi. The technician gave me a 5-minute massage after which she began to proceed with the nail polish application. When I reminded her that the service included a 40 minute massage, she insisted that wasn’t the case unless I paid for the reflexology treatment. Even when we went through the service list together, she insisted that’s not what it meant. I won’t go into the details of our lengthy discussion, which included a lot of backtracking/inconsistency on her part, but I was thoroughly turned off, especially when she only agreed to give me the massage when I said I would just pay for the Stiletto Pedicure, because that was, in fact, the service that I received. Since the whole point of a massage is relaxation, I turned her down at that point and said the Stiletto Pedicure and regular manicure would be fine. I don’t think I’ll be patronizing them again.
