Despite the distance and time constraints, my sister kindly booked and paid for a facial for me. Initially, I was not too enthusiastic about it as it's not something I usually do, but after the experience, I had a great night's sleep and I have booked in my next appointment.

Leanne was friendly and professional, nice little salon, and my eyebrows look so much better! (I had a tiny and shape.)
It’s not cheap and quite a quick procedure, but that what it costs these days! Same as most salons I believe.
