Tips and Toes – Amwaj, JBR

Located on the Plaza Level of Jumeirah Beach Residences, Tips and Toes has just about everything a girl
could want from a salon; a warm and friendly atmosphere, affordable prices and a variety of treatments.
I decided to go for the foot reflexology in the hope that it would help me to relax and unwind. It
delivered. Upon arrival I was given a warm greeting and a cup of green tea and told to sit back, put my
feet up and relax. My massage therapist was Venus. The pressure she applied to my feet was medium
to strong, but it felt good. In fact I felt relaxed after just ten minutes. Following the treatment my feet
were massaged with Tips and Toes lemon and eucalyptus oil and then a hot towel was placed over my
feet. Would I go again? Absolutely. Only next time I would probably take a tip from the lady sat next to
me and have my nails done at the same time.

Reflexology applies pressure to points on the feet or hands
to improve circulation, reduce stress and body tension.
Foot reflexology costs Dhs 70 for 25 minutes.
TOP TIP: Don’t wear skinny jeans as you’ll need to roll up your trousers
