I would highly recommend Jenna. I usually find getting a wax very painful but Jenna is so skilled at doing it that you can barely feel it. Thank you ?

I thought the facial was amazing and my skin was radiant afterwards. I would certainly get one again. The only negative thing I would say I did not like the feel of the plastic gloves on my skin. I do realise that the staff have to wear the gloves due to Covid restrictions. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the therapist but she was very welcoming and made me feel very relaxed throughout.
