So lovely to visit the salon and see Michelle and Beth. In spite of sanitary precautions due to Covid. I feel my life is returning to something like the "old normal". As usual Michelle has such an uplifting personality and professional expertise that I left the salon with a smile on my face and a spring in my step!

I was looking for a salon that did electrolysis - not easy to find these days - but finding TAO revolutionised my life. The treatment was not painful as I had found it to be in other salons - the staff are expert, kind and delightful - and the treatment has been wonderfully effective. I am so grateful and would recommend it to anyone wanting help with unwanted hair growth. Thank you TAO!!

Natalie was fantastic - friendly, kind, welcoming & attentive.

I've had some trouble with acne recently & this was the treatment that Natalie recommended for my skin type & troubles - felt very relaxed & pampered throughout & my skin feels great afterwards! I can't wait to see the continued results over the next few days.

Always love visiting Tao for a pampering, never disappoints. Thank you Natalie xxx
