Upon arrival, the building itself didn’t disappoint. Tucked away from a main street, the building was pretty sizeable for a beauty salon with a large entrance, with enough seats for 4 or 5 ladies (or men, hey, whatever floats your boat) to sit comfortably. Turns out this was pretty lucky as my therapist was running 45 minutes late, so I was pleased I was able to sit comfortably for that time. I didn’t mind, however, as I didn’t have a meeting immediately after and the staff were apologetic about it; although this would put me off booking in a quick treatment in my lunch hour for fear of running out of time.

My therapist herself was also extremely apologic when I was welcomed through, and also very friendly and knowledgable. Before the treatment, she talked me through what The Ultimate Facial – retailing at a staggering £245, eek! – actually meant. I truly appreciated this as so often you are told to jump on the massage table and your treatment is over before you know it. She told me that it is a three step treatment, including a microdermabrasion, a balancing enzyme facial and finally a Transderm® treatment. Having had a microdermabrasion before I was excited to see how different this treatment would be, especially compared to the hefty price tag.

The look of the salon was also aesthetically pleasing – I would say half and half between relaxing (some candles and aromotherapy) and a clinical feel. It was all very clean, which is obviously a huge bonus for me! The staff were also all very polite and friendly, which is always nice when you’re trusting them seeing you makeup free – they’ve gotta be nice, haven’t they?! Over all, I’d love to go back and try some more treatments. If you’d like to try too, you can find a list of current offers here.
