As a treat, I decided to try the new treatment on offer - a full body spa experience with the use of Himalyan salts, with a foot massage to boot (no pun intended!) From start to finish, it was an of pure bliss. Deeply relaxing, invigorating and cleansing, I simply felt like 8 was floating. Therapist Serena explained everything to me in advance and worked her magic with the salts and hands. Enjoyed every moment of this pampering and detoxifying treatment and would highly recommend this!

On recommendation from Bella and Debbie I tried builders gel for the first time a couple of weeks ago as my nails were quite weak and cuticles very dry. Bought OPI cuticle oil before I left salon and have used as directed. Had the Gel soaked off and it came off really easily and the condition of my nails has really improved due to a combination of the gel and oil. Thanks Bella and Debbie for the great advice
