I had my nails done for the first time (aged 30!) for a holiday a month or so ago and I'm hooked, it's now my favourite day of the month! Ani is lovely, it's therapeutic watching her work her magic. I also have my brows and lashes done by Lois and can't praise the whole Color & Therapy Lounge team enough, it's such a warming, friendly environment and I place I love to visit!

Lois, the brow queen ?

After suffering all my life with alopecia, life without brows is something I've had to live with for a long time. Often contemplating taking the plunge and getting them microbladed but always too scared.
Along came Lois who made the whole process so personal and reassuring. She is honestly so amazing at what she does and is a perfectionist through and through.
I have now gone from no brows at all to the best ones I could have hoped for and I will be forever grateful to her!
Quite literally changed my life, giving me a bit of confidence back and saving time off my usual male up routine.
Thank you so much for all of you hard work and patience with me throughout the whole process Lois. I LOVE them! Xx

As soon as I walked in, Gail came to greet me and did a quick consultation. She got to work straight away with my cut and colour, keeping my budget in mind. Jodie finished off the appointment with my blow dry and final trim. I had such a relaxing time! They do such a good job here that I only need to book in every 6 months or so and I always look forward to it. Thank you Gail and Jodie, I love my new do ? xx

I had a very positive experience with Gail and her team when I visited for hair colour and cut and style. Starting with a consultation and advice session, through to a great blow dry. I was given information on the products used and why they were the best for my hair. I was offered unlimited hot drinks, and the price was very reasonable too. Overall a brilliant service, I will be back soon, thankyou.
