We dropped by to check out a new salon in Colaba that also serves wine and cocktails

We choose an algae pedicure (Rs 1,499) and settle into a giant throne-like chair, all set to be pampered. The salon menu reveals that they have more than 10 varieties of wine (Spanish, Chilean, Australian and German among others, starting at Rs 550 per glass) on the list, in addition to coffee, tea, cocktails, sangrias and mocktails. Since the bartender is on leave, the salon manager suggests that we go for a glass of Little James Basket (Rs 850 plus taxes). A new bottle is opened for us, and we wait for it to be chilled while our pedicurist, Ram, gets working on our heels. He takes his time to scrape off the dead skin from our ignored feet, and we like the fact that he doesn't rush through any of the stages in a bid to finish it within an hour. Just before we finish with a coat of a bright OPI shade, Ram gives our feet and aching calves a relaxing massage, and we can't help but feel like the pampered queen, swirling a glass of wine.
We are given a serum to apply overnight to complete the treatment and even before we leave the salon, we text our girlfriends the address and have a plan in place for our next girls' night out.
