My mum treated us both to a pedicure. We took advantage of the current offer, offering a free upgrade to a signature OPI pedicure and we were not disappointed.
Our 2 therapists were personable yet professional and the pedicure was a lovely, relaxing experience.
We have booked in with the ladies to try our first gel manicure in the not too distant future.
I would definitely recommend this beautiful salon.
