I booked an appointment with Sarah today , as I have been suffering with back and neck pain. Sarah did a deep tissue massage that was both soothing and relaxing. 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

What an utterly exquisite experience having my Katherine Daniels Age Defence Faircloth with Laura. The techniques are different to the norm and DLA the better for it. Amazing experience! 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! Thank you Laura, I’ll be back to see you again soon, you are a senior therapist in the making ?

I'm quite nervous when it comes to waxing as I haven't got the best pain threshold!! However Laura was great, very reassuring, and completely honest when I ask her how much will it hurt, which is actually not as bad as I thought it was. Can not thank Laura enough with putting my mind at ease, talking me through it and making me feel at ease and somewhat relaxed whilst having it done. Have booked in for another one with her so it can't have hurt that much lol x

Had a lovely Katherine Daniels bespoke treatment on the face, and I came home with glowing skin; it looks so “fed” and nourished. I was looking forward to a Katherine Daniels facial treatment after the positive things I’ve heard about them, and especially with all the mask wearing we’ve been doing this year!
Sarah gave great advice on the products being applied and what they do. I would definitely have this treatment again. :)

This week was my first visit since the start of the pandemic and I was really really impressed with the social distancing measures in place at the salon. Felt so much safer than some other places I have been.
