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!

I have just finished a course of Katherine Daniels peels. My treatments were done by Amy and Laura at the Coleshill salon. 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.
