I drove from Montezuma to Santa Teresa to try this nail spot. I usually go to a girl in Cobano but scheduling with her is a least two weeks… read more out and she doesn’t have a great color selection. Almendra was more expensive but I figured if the experience was better it’s worth every penny. I went for a Gel Mani/Regular Pedi combo. The place is nice, not over-the-top fancy with relaxing decor. The seats aren’t very comfortable for both mani or pedi but even that wouldn’t have been a deal breaker. Two GEL nails chipped within 24 HOURS of application. Most gels last 2/3 weeks before chipping. She did use a cool exfoliation tool on my feet and my toe polish is still intact. So while I may return for pedicures, I will save my money on the gels and get back in with my girl in Cobano. Appt date: February 28th – It’s now March 2nd and a third nail chipped this morning prompting this review rather than calling in to have them fixed. Bummed.

  From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and pampered. My friend and I both enjoyed our experiences here. I had the Lymphatic Massage and the Vitamin C Fascia… read more performed by Sylvia. My friend had the Hot Stone Massage and a Pedicure that was performed by Almendra. I look forward to my next visit! Thank you for the excellent service and some of the best treatments we have ever experienced. True Pura Vida!

  Almendra’s spa is one of the best spa experiences in the area. I got the best wax of my life there – she is so professional, quick and friendly as… read more she does it. Her prices are very affordable and her spa is such a warm, welcoming place. Almendra herself is so kind and friendly and you immediately feel comfortable once you arrive. I highly recommend this spa!
