Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

Sarah Ann made me feel so relaxed and calming as I was a little nervous of having my eyelashes lifted I was a bit agitated to be honest but Saran Ann was so caring and made me feel really relaxed, she done an amazing job on my eyelashes as being on HRT Sarah did advise that they may not lift due to my medication but I still wanted to go ahead with it and they turned out beautifully lifted & a lovely black tint I am very pleased, also had a wax treatment and I’m thrilled with the results, I have rebooked ? for same treatment for September ? thank you so much Sarah Ann x x

Laura is an utter professional. Put me at ease throughout what can be quite and uncomfortable and embarrassing experience (Hollywood) and I have to say it was over so quickly I couldn't believe it. Really made up for a previously bad experience and I am very much back on the Hollywood band wagon! Thanks Laura

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!!
