Chic Nail Spa @ Bangsar Village II

Four years ago, local celebrity Soong Ai Ling stopped her modelling and acting careers to open a nail salon. Last December, she moved into a new lot in Bangsar Village II to accommodate 10 customers at a time within 900 square feet. It's a massive upgrade, her previous salon could only serve three customers at a time in over 300 square feet.


Since her move, Ai Ling’s Chic Nail Spa has been fully booked every single day. The reason for the heightened success might have to do with its gorgeous set up. Unlike most local nail spas, which veer towards either a Balinese or minimalist feel, Chic Nail Spa’s décor is Parisian and Victorian-inspired, adorned with vintage wares that give its customers a comfortably chic home away from home feel. While most salons encourage clinical or exotic zen, Chic Nail Spa is a space for luxurious comfort. It also does not conform to the local nail salon norm to double as OPI bars. Ai Ling is strongly against committing to a specific brand, preferring to use several nail and body care brands that she has personally tried and tested. For colours, she offers OPI, Creative, Essie and SpaRitual, and swears by Seche for quick dry, long-lasting topcoats and Ecrinal for nail care. For the flat rate price of RM45 per manicure and RM55 per pedicure, customers can pick and choose between different brands and types of nail and body care according to their preference. No prescribed lotions here! While prices may be a little above the average mani-pedi fee, Chic Nail Spa is worth it. We know for a fact that its customers seem to think so—Ai Ling has been known to give nail treatments herself because they’re so busy.

Chic Nail Spa is located at 1F-22, Bangsar Village II, 2, Jalan Telawi 1, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur. Tel: 603-2282 5972.

Masjid dalam taman

Siapa sangka di tengah kota bandaraya yang sibuk ini tersergam sebuah masjid yang boleh membuatkan sesiapa sahaja terpegun dengan keindahan hasil binaannya.Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan adalah sebuah masjid yang dibina berkonsepkan 'masjid dalam taman'. Ianya terletak berhampiran dengan Kompleks Kerajaan, Jalan Duta dan kini merupakan satu lagi mercu tanda di ibu negara. Masjid ini mula dibina pada 1997 dan siap digunakan pada 25 Oktober 2000. Ia menggunakan konsep tradisi masjid-masjid Othmaniah di Turki.

Rekabentuk senibina dan hiasan dalamannya pula adalah merupakan kombinasi rekabentuk tradisi Melayu Malaysia dan Timur Tengah. Masjid ini boleh menampung seramai 17,000 orang jemaah pada satu-satu masa. Keluasan keseluruhan bangunan adalah kira-kira 47,000 meter persegi. Di lengkapi dengan pelbagai kemudahan, masjid ini merupakan masjid yang termoden di Malaysia pada masa ini.

Masjid ini juga menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan dan perkhidmatan selain daripada aktiviti keagamaan. Di antaranya adalah seperti menyediakan kemudahan dewan serbaguna dan dewan jamuan untuk orang ramai serta boleh dijadikan sebagai kompleks ilmu, di mana masjid ini mempunyai tadika, sekolah, asrama, perpustakaan dan bilik komputer bagi mendidik masyarakat.
