This salon has been operating for many years and remains consistently good with well trained, knowledgeable therapists who take great pride in their work. I’ve been a client here for 18 years and would not go anywhere else. Al treatments are fabulous but, particularly love and end enjoy the results of the hydrafacial! It’s amazing!
Give it a try, you’ll be amazed with the results!

I’ve always loved getting my nails done here but today was even better than normal, Inez has such attention to detail. It’s as though she’s doing her own nails. If she isn’t happy with something she does it again so it’s perfect. After moving up north it’s great to have finally found a place I enjoy spending my money and feel like they care about the results. Thank you all!

The whole experience was wonderful, from booking to leaving. Very professional.
My treatment was lovely, felt very thorough, relaxing and luxurious products. A very good balance of feeling relaxed but also that it was effective.
I would highly recommend.
4 stars instead of 5 for value since price had gone up since I had planned to come in, but this is totally understandable.
(Aplologies I can't remember my therapists name but she was fab)
