Treatment was well explained to me beforehand which added to my excitement to get it done. I was asked what my past experiences for spa treatments had been before so she could make my time the most amazing I had. Serena made me feel reassured that I had come to the right salon to zone out. The treatment was heavenly and I couldn't recommend Serena and transition enough to anybody!

Debbie tattooed my eyebrows and they look amazing!! Debbie was extremely professional, taking time to establish the look I wanted, colour, explaining to me in full about the procedure, do’s and don’t’s, aftercare etc and made me feel totally at ease. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to tattoo on my face apart from Debbie as she really is the best at what she does ?
