Whoever thought that a leg wax could be a pleasant experience? In the hands of the wonderful Nicola it was a pleasure. She is always so chatty and fun that I hardly notice that she is getting rid of those hairs at great speed. ! Thank you Nicola xx

Disappointed

Lottie
14th Feb 2025

This was my first visit to the salon, as my usual place was fully booked.

The receptionist greeted me warmly, was professional and very welcoming - a great initial experience.

As I was shown to the treatment room, I was asked about the pressure I wanted for the massage, to which I requested a firm pressure.

Within the first couple of minutes, the therapist asked how I found the pressure and I asked for a firmer pressure. She agreed but unfortunately did not provide a firmer pressure.

I was treated respectfully and professionally throughout the treatment, but unfortunately the massage was not the standard I had hoped for or have ever experienced elsewhere.

I was given water and a juice shot at the end, which was a lovely touch.

Back at reception, I was then charged £61 for 30minutes of massage. I paid, feeling confused, as I had seen a 30min massage advertised as £44 on site. I stupidly didn’t question this at the time, but sent a follow up email upon my return home, having double checked the online price list.

I was informed that the £44 price was for a 30 minute time slot for a massage, which would be 20 minutes hands on, whereas I had been booked in for a 45min appointment with 30mins hands on.

This price is much more money than I have previously paid for thing length of massage, - had I known this before, I wouldn’t have booked, particularly due to the underwhelming massage.

Sadly, I won’t be returning.

Dear Lottie

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review of your visit to Skin & Tonic.
I am very sorry for the confusion over the price and length of treatment.
I would like to offer you a complimentary 50minute Signature Essential Tension Zone Massage with another therapist, so you can have another treatment to make up for the confusion and your disappointment, with the treatment. I will email you to organise.
