Facial treatment and saying compliments in Cantonese?! [with youtube]

Just come back home after a facial treatment. I don’t know what girls oversea will do for skin care. We will buy skincare products plus a monthly facial treatment package. (maybe the air here is a bit polluted or the weather is too humid, anyway, we need this “just” to feel better with our skin).

have a facial treatment 做facial zou6 facial lit : do facial
have a SPA treatment 做SPA zou6 SPA lit : do SPA

facial1It is $350 HKD per treatment. (~45 USD), includes lots of procedure, cleaning, deep cleaning, peeling,  needle clear, eyebrow stylishing, shoulder massage and finally covering your face with a thick refreshing mask for 20 mins etc

 

facial2Then how to say compliments after receiving service?

 

Besides using 好 (good), you can precisely use the word 舒服

舒服 (feeling well) syu1 fuk6
唔舒服 (not feeling well) m4 syu1 fuk6

[:D Different level of satisfaction:D].

Learning 7 phrases at one time is better than cramming a lot. If you want to learn more, see below for the negative compliments.
