I thought I would take advantage of the fabulous February offer of a Katherine Daniels facial with heated gold mask and a scalp massage .. It was absolutely wonderful , Sarah is a really friendly and experienced therapist and as always I left the salon totally de-stressed and feeling wonderful.
I would recommend Essentials to everyone as the staff and the Salon are wonderful. I will be taking advantage of the March special offer as well as another Katherine Daniels facial next month .. everyone deserves a bit of pampering ?

Gorgeous Caci treatment with eye revive. Literally falling to sleep towards the end as it was so relaxing. Also had shellac on my nails with a lovely glass of wine. Just how to spend a late Thursday afternoon/early evening. If you haven’t treated yourself to a chilled glass of white vino, I’d courage you to do so. Local producer and it is beautiful.
