I was welcomed and offered a drink upon my arrival. Another member of staff took my coat and my therapist commenced her role by firstly checking my expectations. Amy was polite, efficient and very professional. A wonderful balance between the 3. Will certainly return.

Caci Jowell lift

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

I went to the Coleshill salon today to try the new Caci system. I had decided to give the jowell lift a go as that is the area I dislike the most. Emma talked me through everything she was doing, step by step. The treatment was a little tingly but not uncomfortable and my face felt a little warm after. My husband was in the car waiting and didn’t know what I had gone in for. He noticed the difference straight away and I must say I was really impressed with how my face looked more contoured , and for want of a better word ‘plumped’. I can’t wait to try the full facial lift next time ! Thank you Emma once again an amazing treatment from an amazing therapist.
