I usually go with Tegan as she has done my nails for a long time but I would recommend any of the ladies who work there. They are all very professional and make you feel like home with any of the treatments you might go for. Any treatment is carried on to a very high standard so I cannot ask for more.

I had a bit of discomfort in my neck and shoulders and was due to fly long haul the following day, I managed to get a last minute appointment and had a deep massage. It made my flight a far more comfortable experience than I had expected and I arrived with no discomfort or stiffness. I’d definitely recommend Womankind and will consider their other treatments for men, it’s not just women that deserve a pampering!
