My flight was cancelled and I was delayed 12 hours, j phoned up the salon (as it’s close to the airport) and was offered an appointment 20 minutes later. I jumped in a taxi looking forward to my pamper.
I had a deep tissue back, neck and shoulder massage - Sarah has magic fingers! She worked wonders on my knotty shoulders, it was perfect mix of relaxing and felt it doing good. Then I had a pedicure and Shellac. It was lovely to chat with Sarah, and her fellow colleague and client. The pedicure was perfect, and I’m really in love with the colour (Frosted Glen). If you are at a loose end at the airport and need a treat … go!!!

I always use this salon when ever I need my eyebrows and shellac on nails done. The team are so friendly and welcoming and the conversation flows throughout my whole appointment. They are also great hosts asking how my day has been and offering drinks throughout. I usually have Amy and Laura and their service is amazing. Also the receptionist are amazing and love having a chat with them every-time I come in.
