Had my first floatation and it was the best experience ever! Very well explained and great customer service.
I then had an aromatherapy massage with Brooke and again an amazing experience, just what the doctor ordered. Definitely recommend and I will definitely be back.
I floated home and felt so relaxed after.

The staff are really friendly and professional.
The massage was nice, it was the right pressure for me.
The signature facial was disappointing.. I am used to facials that include cleansing, exfoliation, steam, face mask and massage as a standard with all facials. The facial I received was v light touch, minimum skin contact, exfoliation was applied and taken off which was strange...there was no actial exfoliation and the mask was only applied to parts of my chin, nose and forehead. Massage was minimum. My skin looked or felt no different whatsoever...
The pedicure- I liked the way the gel polish was removed gently and the way the new polish was applied. I would have liked more exfoliation to remove dry skin and an actual massage, what was classed as a massage was actually applying the moisturiser. I get pedicures regularly so know what to expect and this wasn't value for money for me.
The salon looks a little run down but felt clean.

What a incredible experience! The floatation soothed my back and sciatica pain instantly. Super relaxing for both the body and the mind, very different to other relaxing practices I’ve tried. The massage following the flotation was so gentle and calming, the masseuse personalised it to my needs.
I feel as though I am now in another planet.
Totally recommend it, everybody should give this ago!

My first visit, I really enjoyed my massage and the girls were absolutely happy, positive and fun but i left a bit disapointed in the final result of my nails, they are messy and not quite the same calibre as I has seen on previous pics that were posted on Facebook which was what lead me to book.

I received a gift voucher to use the floatarium spa and massage. I was hesitant about the float to begin with as the thought of being totally in the dark with nothing but my thoughts was terrifying……but I needn’t worry….it was so relaxing. The massage afterwards was also fantastic, the therapist did an amazing job so I would recommend doing both the float and massage. Only negative is that the towels (for the massage) were very dry and starchy which made it slightly uncomfortable during the massage but compared to everything else that was a very minor issue and didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Do remember to put ear plugs in as the water stays in ears for quite some time after.

My toes have never looked so good

Alison Stimpson

Appointment verified by Salon Iris Software

My toes have taken a beating over the years; the main cause at first was having to buy mens’ trainers for running when ladies with big feet had no other option. Fast forward a couple of decades - or so- and the damaged toe nail beds mean ugly toes in my eyes. Pamela talked me through the process and 60+ minutes later and my tootsies look beautiful - yes, even my toes could be classed as magnificent after the acrylic pedicure. I am really thrilled with my painted toe nails that aren’t broken half way down the nail bed. What’s more, I can still wear my walking boots after the newly added ‘nail’, quite brilliant. Thank you Pamela.
