Essentials is a fantastic salon with excellent service. Sarah-Ann is amazing. I usually have facials, lash & brow tints. She is professional, skilled and very friendly. The salon stock a wide range of products and Sarah-Ann advises me on the best products and treatments suited to my skin. The skin supplement range is fantastic. Lots of gift ideas on the website to stock up on for Christmas and the option of gift vouchers to treat loved ones too.
I highly recommend the salon!

Had an eyebrow shape with Laura & it was absolutely perfect as per usual.
She had a lady in with her who was training and Laura explained step by step why she was doing what she was doing and what she was doing, I myself found this very formative.
I don’t always get my eyebrows waxed, however when I do, I never go elsewhere as I am always over the moon with the results!

The treatment itself is an hour of total bliss, warming lotions and mitts , with a massage that leaves you totally relaxed. More importantly after my fourth and final treatment of the course , my skin looks and feels amazing especially around the eyes. Thank you ladies I will definitely be back for my maintenance facials once a month.
