What an amazing experience with Bella today, who made me feel so totally relaxed after a stressful few months.
I completely zoned out and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
I wouldn’t hesitate in using Bella again.
Thank you!
Oh my nails looked amazing too! Xx

I walked into the salon today with nails that needed lots of TLC, they were short, tired looking and all round awful.
Shannon worked her magic and made them look amazing, she gave them a ‘French manicure’ and now they look remarkably longer and totally ‘chic’ .
Lovely. Friendly young lady :)
Thank you x

Everytime I go to Transition Beauty, I leave with a smile on my face. The beautician is always very professional, knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable. At Transitions they are constantly improving their products and I can say that waxing has become a pain free and enjoyable process. I recommend greatly.
