Kelsall was really welcoming and got me comfortable.

What I really appreciate at the saloon is their cleanliness. Hubby told me to take beautician closer to home but I don't want to be confronted with less cleanliness measures so I keep coming back.

I thought the facial was amazing and my skin was radiant afterwards. I would certainly get one again. The only negative thing I would say I did not like the feel of the plastic gloves on my skin. I do realise that the staff have to wear the gloves due to Covid restrictions. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the therapist but she was very welcoming and made me feel very relaxed throughout.
