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!

Yesterday I enjoyed the complimentary Hot Stone Massage that I was lucky enough to win in a Christmas draw. Sarah-Ann was brilliant and talked me through everything and particularly focussed on areas of concern for myself. As someone with a disability who struggles with pain, numbness and body spasms the massage worked absolute wonders and the heat really helped me. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had for a very long time and will certainly be booking for this service again in the future. Thank you Sarah-Ann for a truly amazing experience and Emma for your kindness with the giveaway which allowed me to try out this wonderful massage!

There’s been a period of time where I’ve had my treatments at a different salon (due to a change of location!) and I’ve not been 100% satisfied. I’m relieved that my circumstances have now allowed me to return to see Laura today! By far the best therapist I’ve had ... due to both her lycon wax technique and friendly, relaxed personality. I’m pleased to say I’ll be continuing my routine visits again at Essentials with Laura. Thanks :)
