Always feel comfortable with Justine and she always knows what I need.
I’ve had Botox and lip fillers and the procedure always feels so relaxed I highly recommend.
And I’m so happy with my results except time. 😀

Sienna was a very capable therapist she was very caring making sure I was comfortable , checking while doing my lashes that my eyes weren’t stinging. The only down side was I was arrived around 5 minutes late and wax told rather rudely that Sienna would do as much as she could in the time left, couldn’t guarantee getting it all done. This was made by a different staff member, which I thought was quite rude , especially as it was my first visit there,it didnt create a very welcoming impression, pleased it was not her doing my lashes as it made me think twice about staying to have my treatment.

Just had my nails done by Ali - she has done an amazing job & is so friendly.
I had my eyebrows laminated, tinted & waxed on Tuesday by Sienna and again she did an amazing job on my very sparse brows.

The salon is always so clean & inviting & the reception staff are lovely.

I have just had my hair done by the lovely Paige and a pedicure. I was made to feel relaxed and not rushed. Both ladies were very professional. I managed to get offers on both treatments which was a bonus. Feeling very happy
