I have been to Shimmer a few times now as it is local to me.
They are really friendly and welcoming.
I have had facials and eye lash life. The beautician talks you through what she is doing and makes you feel relaxed. If you don't want to talk, you don't have to but if you do, she is very engaging

I have been visiting Shimmer for a few years on and off and I can say that it is a great local salon with lovely, friendly ladies! They are always happy to help with any questions you might have and the prices are good too! All the treatments I've had have been fantastic and you don't feel rushed like you might do at other places. Would always recommend the lovely ladies at Shimmer and I will definitely continue to get my treatments here.

Cannot praise this salon enough, I visited for the first time today & the girls were lovely. I had sns nails and I can honestly say its the first time I've had my nails done & been 100% happy with them, i felt that a lot of effort was put into my treatment where as other salons I've been to its just like get you in and out as quick as they can. Looking forward to returning.

Love this salon. The girls are so friendly & accomodating. As a person with a lot of experience in the beauty industry i've often felt intimidated going to new establishments but not here. The girls are so chatty & welcoming.
Their prices are very reasonable & often they have great offers so whether it's popping in for a quick sunbed or a nail paint I always leave with a smile.
I'd definitely recommend to a friend x

Staff are always polite and welcoming, very helpful too. The beds are great and being extremely pale naturally, these are one of the only beds/tubes that give me a good tan. They also sell a great range of tanning creams especially the protan. Prices are very good too! Very well presented, clean and modern.

I've tried lots of places for sunbeds but the ones here are amazing. They are clean and courses are good value for money, always get a txt when there are any offers on.
I like the fact the girls are all nice and not like other places that have sunbeds, they make you feel very welcome ????

The struggles a girl has to go through to find the best place for waxing, nails, good sunbeds, beauty & tanning is ridiculous! My monthly beauty rituals always consisted of me going to different places for different things costing me so much of my time. Like most people I like to have good sunbeds to which i notice a difference, arent too expensive and are clean and comfortable; I like my waxer to make me feel at ease and not embarrassed; I want to be listened to when explaining how I want my eyebrows or lashes to be done.
From the first moment I walked into Shimmer, I was greeted by the girls and made to feel instantly like one of their friends - giving me advise like one of my girlfriends would not like someone trying to get money out of me. The atmosphere is brilliant in Shimmer - run by 4 sisters all with hearts of gold & you can tell they all love the salon as much as their customers; they are eager to hear all about your holidays or tell you all about theirs.
