I thought the experience was great, especially since it was my first time both visiting TAO and for getting lash extensions. I felt really comfortable and actually found the whole experience quite relaxing.

Would not recommend the waxing service

I had the Brazillian wax and went for the warm not hot wax option. The staff member was really friendly. The hygiene was questionable - the technician did not wear gloves and used the same spatula for the whole treatment. They had run out of wet wipes and there was still some leftover wax on my skin that was very difficult to remove. I was disapointed to find out that there were a lot of stray hairs actually left which i had to pluck out (rarher painful after just getting a wax). Finally, on the following day I woke up with really sore skin which had actually been burned so the whole waxed surface peeled off. Overall very sloppy and unpleasant experience. Would not recommend to a friend and would most certainly not return.

I've been to Tao twice now (to have some pesky little thread veins removed), and I honestly can't recommend them enough. Michelle is always attentive, friendly, and genuine. You never feel with her like you're dealing with a salesperson (as can be the case with aestheticians). All of her recommendations are tailored to suit, and she clearly knows her subject extremely well. Thank you, Michelle, for helping my skin out! 10/10

Brazilian wax

The atmosphere was great, the lady who served me was lovely and easy to talk to. My only concern was the quality of the wax - I booked and payed for a Brazillian wax, however the intimate area (which from my understanding distinguishes between a Brazilian and bikini wax, wasn't waxed). Perhaps i shouldve been clearer with what I expected but l only really realised the result when I arrived home. While I t was fustrating but, it won't stop me from returning.
