Had my first visit to Robert John on Thursday 19th February.
Was really pleased to be able to get an appointment the same day as I was desperate for a pedicure.

Had a gel pedicure with removal of hard skin and exfoliation with Ellie.
Ellie is really lovely, friendly and chatty. Ellie, did amazing job making my feet feel and look revitalised.
Thank you so much. See you again 😊

Ellie has waxed my legs twice now, she is very calm relaxed which puts you at ease straight away, she preps the skin which I've not had at other salons and shes also very good at answering questions when i've question what or why does she do that, very knowledgeable. Waxing is gentle, and she looks at the skin quite close to make sure shes not missed any hair, shes not rushing which is an extra bonus. I would highly recommend. Very friendly.
