I am a nervous customer who really would prefer to go to the dentist than the hairdressers. Having said the, Sarah really has put me at ease during the time I have been having her cut my hair. She is always professional, polite and really puts you at ease. She also listens to what I want her to do and always checks with me that what she is doing is what I asked. She is a real asset to Arcana and I am so glad I found her.

Ultimate relaxation at Arcana spa day

I had a spa day at Arcana yesterday - 4 hours of complete relaxation and pampering! As always, I was made welcome from the moment I stepped through the door. Sophie was my therapist and we discussed my options for treatments and agreed the best combination for what I wanted - which was to relax. She chatted when I wanted to talk and was quiet when I didn't - I even fell asleep at one point! When I emerged I felt amazing - relaxed, happy and pampered. What more could you want? And all for £60. Exceptional.

There seemed too many staff and not enough room for them all. It feels like they are trying to fit more services in to make more money at the expense of the customers. The place needs redecorating and sprucing up. The service I had was good.

Hi, Im so sorry you were disappointed with your visit. We often work to capacity on weekends and between 5-9pm, these are just such popular times. We also find its more chaotic on a Friday (more so at half terms and around payday) but if you try a Tue/Wed/Thur daytime it will be much less frantic we promise :0) Thanks for the comments RE decorating, we are just awaiting a move into larger premises with our existing landlord here at ShenleyBrookEnd, so a shiny new spacious premises will soon be ours! We hope the cut/colour/styling was to your liking? Any problems please do not hesitate to contact us [email protected] where our team will be happy to help and resolve any issues x
