Amazing Massage

Abby Bradford

Stylist: Amy

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I had a full body massage, it was the best. Just what is needed in January. I love going into the salon and catching up with the ladies. I love the treatment room. The flicking candle light, the heat and the aromatherapy smells make it feel so cosy. I had a heated eye mask and was able to relax and unwind. I didn’t want to leave. Thank you Amy and Angela for always making me feel so welcome.

I regularly go to this salon for nails etc and always have fantastic service. Today I had an afternoon of pampering with Laura. I had shellac nails, a back, neck and shoulder massage and a Energising facial. The treatments were all lovely and relaxing. My face feels really hydrated and in much better condition than when I went in. Would 100% recommend any if the treatments and girls at The Essentials.

Have to say the Essentials Salon is just the best!! the staff are so friendly and you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in , products are beautiful and I bought some of their stocking fillers for friends and family who were really impressed with their Xmas Pressies .

Booked in for shellac nails and LVL lash lift (1st time!) and eye brow tint and shape. Couldn’t be more pleased with the results.. Amy explained the procedure for the LVL as she went along and I had total confidence in her. The finished result is great! No mascara for me for at least a month! All the staff are friendly and getting in the Christmas spirit. COVID guidelines adhered to. Would definitely recommend being pampered here! Merry Christmas ladies!
