Bit unhappy

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

I had my eyebrows waxed earlier on and although they've came out ok, the person doing them pushed on my eyelashes a bit which have just been lifted a couple of days ago and now they seem to be a bit flatter. I also asked for a thread and i double checked on the phone to make sure that was what id have and I called half hour before my appointment to ask about changing but then decided to keep it to today but then she said by the way the person doing your eyebrows cant thread them and can only was because the original person doing them is ill this week. So although i understand she's ill, someone should have called me to let me know earlier. I wanted a thread. But then I still had to pay full price which annoyed me a bit.

Thank you for the feedback. I understand why you were disappointed regarding your treatment today. We unfortunately did not have your correct details to contact you prior to your appointment to inform you your therapist was unwell. I appologise for this mix up, and hope it will not deter you from visiting us in the future.

I’d never had an intimate wax before, and never been to this salon before. However Nicole was amazing, the conversation just flowed and she done really well distracting me. The pain wasn’t as bad as I was expecting and I was talked through everything to reassure me. I would and most likely will be visiting the salon again, and would be more than happy to have Nicole look after me. Thank you.
