My first visit back to the salon post the latest lockdown and my first time meeting Laura-Jayne. Like all the Essentials girls Laura-Jayne was warm and welcoming and made me feel relaxed. As always the salon felt safe and clean with clear covid protocols in place. So nice to have some me time back again and I am no longer embarrassed by my eyebrows and loving my nails too! Would definitely recommend adding the collagen gloves onto your treatments ladies! Welcome to the team Laura-Jayne and thank you again for a fantastic service.
