It was my first facial and I has the most lovely experience. Stephanie did a great job on my skin, it feels so clean and soft. She talked through and recommended certain products that would be good for my skin aswell as the best way to look after it. It was an extremely enjoyable and relaxing experience. I would highly recommend the buff day spa.

Had the fantastic Half Day Indulgence package on Thursday.. I substituted a scrub instead of a manicure when I booked and there was no issues with that. From start to finish Stefania was professional and friendly. The massage was heavenly and so relaxing. The custom facial was excellent, I have lately developed some very dry patches in 2 areas and she really concentrated on these. Stefania really has a passion for what she does and was full of information and helpful tips. The pedicure also was fabulous and along with a beautiful cup of Camomile tea really rounded off a fantastic few hours.
Understandably due to Covid-19 the relaxation area, sauna and dressing rooms are out of bounds and you are brought directly to the room your treatments will take place in to get ready.

Had to have scrub instead of brushes due to COVID but she did everywhere except above the knee which is where I needed it most. I did not get scalp or face massage, it was just left out even though I asked the girl on the phone if the massage was as advertised but for the brushing and she said it was. I don't know what the stretches are maybe I had them but didn't realise. I found the massage itself very good but I have had better and paid less than €125.

COVID makes it hard for businesses to keep running but Buff Spa had a very good set up. I had called and asked about treatments and got honest and helpful advice, I was also able to check what was the procedure for hygiene and social distancing.
The whole experience was very good from start to finish. Ive been a but worried about going out in public but there is sanitiser on entry and all customers and staff wear facemasks throughout.
It was my first ever massage and my therapist, Ayanda was really good at explaining what would be happening and how different parts of the massage would help in different ways. As it was my first time using CBD and having a massage it was good to have somebody so willing to explain things and answer questions.
The massage was very good and I felt as though I could ask for more or less pressure whenever I felt like it. It was even good talking afterwards I could see what was helping and what to think about for the next time.
My back is in the least pain it has been in a long time and the CBD oil has really helped ease the tenseness that was there.
Overall a great experience!

I had a treatment plan with an excellent massage therapist with a strong technique for deep tissue massage. The therapist left and she recommended another therapist to continue my treatment, then that therapist left 1 week later and the company recommended a “similar” therapist. To my dismay the massage I received was totally different, soft & relaxing instead of firm pressure for deep tissue release, and the therapist ignored half of the back area that I requested treatment on. Extremely disappointing I will not be continuing my treatment plan here.
