I have had another fantastic experience at tao clinic, my appointment was with katie. She always asks how you are, as do all the other staff members. I am so glad I found a clinic who understands your requirements, and always on hand to help where they can. As I said before, if your looking for an experienced salon look no further.

Booked for my wife and have the Neck, Back and Shoulders massage; and myself to have a pedicure as a weekend treat. The staff were great and made us feel very much at ease. I was a bit nervous before going as this was/is my first visit to have any treatments. Came away feeling like it's something I could do more often. My wife loved her massage too!
