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.

Despite the distance and time constraints, my sister kindly booked and paid for a facial for me. Initially, I was not too enthusiastic about it as it's not something I usually do, but after the experience, I had a great night's sleep and I have booked in my next appointment.
