Review: Spaloon

_{Photo from facebook group.}

Spaloon is a men-only day spa in Salmiya coastal town of Kuwait. The spa treatments are designed for men-only and include: skincare and body care. Barber services are available and professional too.

I found out about them through their banners on facebook, checked their decent website, found their number, then called and ended up making an appointment.

I wanted to have some highlights and some facial cheek waxing and beard trimming, I ended up doing a facial and other things too, the website is so good, details and gives you a neat/good feeling, it also has the price so you know what you’re paying for.

It is not the first time I visit a spa here, I’ve been to other places but this place is special, the solid stylist floors, the white walls, metallic decoration and the atmosphere is just amazing, welcomed by Lebanese specialists with a smile. Very professional.

The barbers and hair specialists are so educated and can do the impossible, for the first time ever I did my hair Grey! yes, Grey… I always wanted to have it, never been able too. I’ve done Red, Dark Pink, Blonde (different grades), Blue, Green, Pitch Black… you name it! This was one of the few times I was satisfied with the results.

They welcome you with coffee, tea or Red Bull, you could also watch TV or read a magazine during the treatment, The products, towels and the ropes even are sealed and in plastic bags.

I feel new and will definitely come back again.

Rates 5/5 on my scale!

Egypt will not NOT have the iPhone released

As many of you don’t know unless they’ve been to Egypt or are Egyptian, the famous Nokia n95 is banned in Egypt, the reason is because of its GPS capabilities.

Now, a reader left me a comment yesterday (Thanks Bassel) saying:

There is one little problem regarding the introduction of iPhone 3g into the Egyptian market through a legitimate channel such as being subsidized by Mobinil or Vodafone; it is GPS.

Owning a GPS device is illegal in Egypt. The N95 has been banned from entering Egypt. It has of course been smuggled and sold on the black market, but in no way been sold through any official outlet.

That is why I believe apple do still have a long way negotiating with the Egyptian ministry of communications before the iPhone can be released through mobile carriers.

Until then, if and when an unlocking trick comes out, iPhone 3G will be sold illegally on the black market as well.

Well, this is sad news! It is even common in all mobile stores in Jordan, whenever an Egyptian enters or they hear of someone traveling to Egypt, they recommend buying the n95 because it is banned in Egypt and you can probably sell it for a good price or give it as a valuable gift.

So let me get it straight, the Nokia N95 is not sold in Egypt neither the iPhone, none of the distributors have it on sale because it has been banned by the government because it has GPS.

All GPS devices are illegal in Egypt. Yes, lots of people own them and use them, but they are illegal. A lot of people have radar detectors which are illegal, yet they own them and use them.

Owning and using something is sometimes not relevant to whether it is legal or not.

Now this is messed up! Anyways, according to Apple’s website, the iPhone will be available at Orange (which is Mobinil / Orange Egypt) and Vodafone locations across Egypt. Which means there’s probably one near you.

Popeye rebrands

I personally think it is better/neater, for more check source.
