It is always a delight to visit Skin and Tonic. Always a smiling welcome, fresh radiant atmosphere. And the standard of hygiene and cleanliness is like no other. I have received many treatments over the years. Yesterday was my first time for eyelash extensions. Lizzie was great. Calm , relaxed, knowledgable,professional and made me feel totally as ease as she explained everything throughout the treatment. I was amazed at the result and be returning for more. Laura (the owner) and her team always go that extra mile to make you feel amazing.
