Ellie very gentle and thorough

Appointment verified by salonspy

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.

I'm very pleased with the new tones used today and they have definitely added definition to my hair.
