I've been using this salon for five years and wouldn't even consider going elsewhere. The salon itself is welcoming, with a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. I would encourage anyone to give this salon a try. You won't be disappointed.

Decided to try Tao as opposed to my regular place (of 3 years) and what a great idea it was! Friendly, prompt greeting, professional, thorough service but made to feel comfortable and at ease at the same time from start to finish. The best wax I have ever had and I will be returning. Thank you Amara!!

I thought I was getting a hot wax but it turned out to be a strip wax for £25 ... I should've checked.

Fairly thorough on my front with only a couple to tweeze when I got home.

Not thorough in my back, I had to tidy this myself.

Slight sore patches on my lips since the wax ? Pulled the skin to tear/burn it from repeat strips.

I Would've liked an opportunity to check what they'd done before the wax was finished.

No gloves worn which I found odd and no precleansig.
