Finally got to use my birthday voucher from January and it was totally worth the wait! Full body exfoliation, full body massage and a lovely facial to finish. Laura really tailored the treatment to my needs. What a relaxing two hours!

Another great experience at Essentials today. Rang them on the off chance of an appointment and was booked in and lying on the therapist couch in less than an hour. Great eyebrow shaping and tinting from Laura who dealt with my previous sensitivity issues professionally. Brilliant service, as always, and helpful aftercare advice.

18/12/2020 I had booked at last minute a deep tissue back, shoulder & neck massage.
Sarah-Ann was fantastic. Before the appointment she did a small consultation discussing the areas that needed work and true to form she worked wonders on my neck & shoulders which are my problem. Not only was she fab at delivering the massage she gave me some very handy tips and tricks to help my back in between booking further massage appointments which I’ll definitely be trying.
Very easy to book with the salon, friendly staff every time I visit & with the covid restrictions they have in place it makes me feel very safe to visit. Thank you Sarah-Ann you’re a star! ⭐️
