The worst manicure experience

Julia
29th Nov 2021
1.5

Unfortunately, it was the most horrible experience of my life.
The master was completely unprofessional!!
While cutting the length, the master cut the skin to blood and instead of using an antiseptic, she removed the blood with her finger(!).
The salon declared itself that it can remove acrylic nails, but they tormented me with removing them for more than 2(!!) hours, almost 4h in total, and they just as badly damaged my natural nails.
The nail extension service is not very professional as well, it feels like a master is doing this for the first time. I paid in total £ 55, the manicure looked terrible, started to break from the next day, I could not even do some basic things (like a change my baby's diapers or wash my hair), as it was very painful.
The customer service is just as terrible: I sent an email, they got it, but they said that their internet wasn’t working and they didn’t see anything (I am sure that they received my email, because in the same letter I asked to cancel my appointment with the hairdresser, which they did)
I DO NOT HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Fabulously relaxing Biotech Facial!

Clare Graham
18th Nov 2021
Stylist: Lauren
5.0

A really relaxing treat for someone who is always on the go, I would like to thoroughly recommend the Biotech facial with Lauren. My skin is really glowing and plumped after this lovely treatment which was also very indulgent and relaxing, giving me a shoulder massage, plus arms and hands in a cosy heated bed! There were various stages to the facial so it was really good value for money. Lauren kept me well informed of what she was doing at each stage, with a cooling peel off mask being a real highlight for me. This would be a great way to maintain your skin on a regular basis with lots of tips from Lauren on what products to use. I walked out not even feeling that I needed to put make up back on which is not like me, as my skin looked and felt amazing. Overall excellent, and I can't wait to go back!
