I have been having Caci treatments for nearly a year now at Tao. The girls are lovely which makes the experience even better. I’ve had Cacis before but really notice a difference since going to Tao. I’m
hoping that I’ll still be going when I’m old and grey (however I won’t look old!!), Thanks girls x

I’ve had a few microdermabrasion facials done by Katie at Tao now and my skin has never looked so good. I’m early 30s and have had acne for the majority of my adulthood. The microdermabrasion is really helping to control the breakouts and has reduced the scarring on my cheeks significantly.
Katie is also so lovely and always makes me feel at ease.

I booked fairly last min for a present for my friends birthday. 2 massages and 2 facials,they managed to fit us in which was great!
From the minute we walked in the Ladys were friendly smiling and chatty.
I required a slightly more intense massage,deeper muscle stimulation so Beth was the best lady for my treatment. She was very friendly and chatty, instantly felt welcome. She took me to the room and asked me if I had any areas of concern in which I wanted her to concentrate more on,she also asked if I had any skin issues to identify which oils to use. She was very thorough in her questions before we started.
The massage was an hr long and felt amazing, Beth got into all the areas that needed more attention and left me feeling really relaxed especially when I lied on my front,she almost sent me to sleep I was that relaxed. My facial followed and that was really nice too,cleansed and toned followed by a lovely cream face mask which smelt really nice. My skin looked radiant after.
Overall it was a great experience and I hope to return in the near future.
