I had two appointments today with Amy and Laura. Amy did my Katherine Daniels facial and as always it was fantastic! My skin is looking really clear and having these monthly facials makes a huge difference.
I then had shellac toes with Laura and it was lovely to chat with her. Laura is always very professional and has a great knowledge of beauty therapy and offering products she has used herself and work well!
I love the loyalty points scheme as well and was able to use mine to buy some products that I’m excited to try out!!
Always a lovely treat each month and I can’t wait to be back next month!!

I’ve had my first age defence facial and I can thoroughly recommend it. I have sensitive skin so tend to worry about products as hadn’t had a facial before, Emma talked about the products and how she was using them at length. It was a really relaxing experience from start to finish and my skin feels amazing! I have now swapped all of my skin products over to Katherine Daniels and will be continuing with facials on a regular basis, a little bit of me time! Thanks Emma!
