WomanKind Beauty offer an incredible beauty service in Edinburgh. After staff absences (due to Covid) they did everything they could to fit in my appointment and are always so understanding and kind. They all work so hard for their customers. The treatments are always fantastic, staff are so knowledgeable and I feel so restful throughout. Cannot recommend them enough . Xx
