Electrolysis

Anonymous
3rd Dec 2016
3.0

I have been coming to your salon for some years
Now and have had various therapists mostly good.
I always come for electrolysis and sometimes waxing. The last time I came was Dec2 & I had *therapist name removed* . She is a lovely girl but the electrolysis I felt was not good. Firstly she had a cold and was sniffly secondly I felt the hairs were being pulled out and not being removed correctly, and thirdly the upper lip was the most painful I have every had with electrolysis. I have been having electrolysis for thirty years so do know when it I is good or not. Also I am a trained therapist myself.
I usually never complain, but I feel for your own reputation *therapist name removed* needs some extra training in this field.

Wonderful results with the muscle tone in my face and neck, no more sagging and my skin feels much tighter.
I can't feel my cheeks against my teeth inside!

Very calm and peaceful atmosphere. Sophie very friendly and explained procedure clearly and checked I was ok during procedure.
I am not a regular spa/beauty salon person and therefore a little nervous, but no need to be.

I was late to my appointment and there was no problem, the lady that carried out the treatment, was friendly, chatty and helpful. She was only qualified for 5 months, but seemed to really know and enjoy what she doing. Highly recommended.

I have been regularly visiting Tao for the past five years. Chelsea has made me feel completely at ease during aculight and electrolysis treatments. Every treatment is carried out in a professional, caring manner. The girls at the salon are always welcoming and brilliant with every treatment I've had. I'm also thrilled with my recent LVL lash treatment by Bethany.

A very comfortable and effective treatment using electrolysis for hair removal. Amazing results over a few months have significantly reduced the growth. Beth always delivers a very careful and efficient treatment session.

I have had facials in the past and this one was by far the best so much so I will now be purchasing gift vouchers for friends.
I woke up this morning (day after) and my skin feels amazing. I don't want to lose this fresh faced feeling so I shall now book in for regular treatments.
The beauty therapist Sophie was very professional, polite and friendly. Her knowledge was outstanding and I've come away with great advice on my skin care routine and with new products.
Cannot recommend Tao Skincare Clinic enough.

The Tao Skincare Clinic is such a gem - just a few minutes away from the High Street it's easy to get to but discretely located if you don't want the world to see you going to get waxed! The staff are lovely - professional but caring. The salon offers all sorts of treatments from hair removal to non-surgical facelifts and the prices are some of the best in the area. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
