During the massage, Emma immediately identified an area of my shoulders that I have been having issues with lately. Things do feel a lot better and more mobile after my treatment, but I’ll be looking at making a booking for the deep tissue massage as soon as I can as this is what Emma recommended to get deeper into the problem area.

I could feel the muscles become less tense and had much more movement when she had finished. I will definitely be back for more ! The salon felt clean, safe and very comfortable. Well done

Made all the better by Laura’s clear explanation throughout the treatment coupled with quiet at all the right moments. I can not recommend it enough!! My skin has never looked so clear and radiant!
