A beautiful brow lamination by Lois and my nails and toes by Ani, I could watch Ani do my nails all day long!! I left feeling brand new. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my treatments, the girls are all amazing. ❤️❤️❤️

Had my 10 Years younger facial this evening with Nicole . Have to say my skin looks and feels noticeably refreshed and rejuvenated!
It's the most relaxing experience. Any tension or stress you might have is soothed away whilst Nicole works her magic leaving you looking and feeling on cloud nine! I can't recommend these treatments enough for the way you end up looking and feeling. It's certainly worth treating yourself or someone special and it's good value considering the time and quality of products that Nicole uses...Try it, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed !

My last visit was amazing as usual.
All the staff are very friendly & welcoming.
As soon as I arrived I was offered a drink & asked how I was.
They were busy but took the time to chat.
My head massage was so relaxing I could have gone to sleep.
The end result was just what I wanted.
I would highly recommend this salon.

I went to the colour and therapy lounge today feeling really rubbish about my hair after it had been badly damaged with bleach from a previous place. I left feeling so much more confident and hair that not only looked it but actually felt healthy. Gail listened to me and advised me what would be best.
Everyone has commented on how nice it looks today too.

I feel so much better. Thank you again Gail xx
