I was looking for a salon that did electrolysis - not easy to find these days - but finding TAO revolutionised my life. The treatment was not painful as I had found it to be in other salons - the staff are expert, kind and delightful - and the treatment has been wonderfully effective. I am so grateful and would recommend it to anyone wanting help with unwanted hair growth. Thank you TAO!!

Natalie was fantastic - friendly, kind, welcoming & attentive.

I've had some trouble with acne recently & this was the treatment that Natalie recommended for my skin type & troubles - felt very relaxed & pampered throughout & my skin feels great afterwards! I can't wait to see the continued results over the next few days.

Always love visiting Tao for a pampering, never disappoints. Thank you Natalie xxx

I recently embarked on a course of CACI facials at Tao and I am happy with the results. I have had a lot of non surgical facelift treatments in the past and like things done in a certain way. Michelle and Beth really listen to what I am asking for and do their best to adapt the treatment to my liking. I am very impressed with Tao. Michelle runs a lovely professional salon in every way. The place is nicely decorated and immaculately clean. It’s also great that there are two car parks directly opposite in Queen Street. A great little find - give it a go.

It was my First time going to Tao and what a fantastic place, as soon as I walked in I was welcomed and offered a drink.
My facial was absolutely fantastic and my skin feels so clean.
Chelsea was fantastic and did such a fantastic job giving me advice, and what will help my skin and what other facials would benefit my skin even more.
Nothing was to much trouble and I was always asked if I was ok and comfortable throughout my treatment.

The treatment was lovely and very relaxing and I would definitely be back and would highly recommend Chelsea.
