My first visit to this salon for a full leg wax. Jenna did an excellent job - thorough and as near painless as waxing gets. I’ll certainly return to try some other treatments.

I’ve been to the salon quite a few times, normally with Lauren and Roisin. Had Jenna today and she took really good care of my eyebrows, don’t think anyone has ever spent that much time to make sure they were perfect! Will be back again to see Jenna!

I had a bit of discomfort in my neck and shoulders and was due to fly long haul the following day, I managed to get a last minute appointment and had a deep massage. It made my flight a far more comfortable experience than I had expected and I arrived with no discomfort or stiffness. I’d definitely recommend Womankind and will consider their other treatments for men, it’s not just women that deserve a pampering!

Had my second set of semi permanent lashes done today. The first lot haste’s a good 2 weeks beyond what was promised (6 weeks!) and csne off very naturally without looking weird. This time I asked for shorter as they hit my glasses. I’m very pleased with the result. It’s a long appointment but I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep (snort) and they set the radio to the station of my choosing which helped while away the time. They give a generous discount for repeat appointments so good value. Deffo recommended ☺️
