After my hands became dry and neglevted during the lockdown I decided to treat myself to a manicure and mini pedicure. The salan is so welcoming and the girls are so friendly and knowledgable. Laura made a wonderful job of my nails and my hands and feet feel pretty again. Thankyou for my treat x

I visited the salon today for a shellac on my fingers. Sarah -Ann was really helpful advising me on colour. She also recommended a hand treatment using a collagen sock. The results were amazing , and have made such a difference to the effect anti bac and constant washing has had on my hands.
Thank you so much , for a moment of normality in a safe and caring environment

Normally I book in for facials but with COVID and Borris... that’s not possible right now! So instead I decided to treat myself as I’ve been working throughout these crazy times and opted for a Tropical Bliss and had my toes painted. As always the girls are amazing; so friendly and welcoming and it was lovely to be back and have a catch up! I felt very safe going into the salon and they are going above and beyond to make sure you still have that salon experience even with all the changes!

Having no clue what my wife had booked me in for, it was only when shown into the room did I find out. A deep tissue massage. My masseuse was Sarah. I explained the areas that I had issues with so she could concentrate more of an effort on them. She began gently working to quite intense level, though never actually hurting. I am looking forward to the next one. The only disappointment is I'm having to pay for it myself but will do so happily.

Brilliant massage. I would like to book for my nails, wax and spray tan, though, whilst happy to pay an additional £5 for my first visit toward the Covid requirements, I feel this is extortionate if applied each visit and would affect my decision making. I would definitely look for an alternative services .

Thank you for your comments and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your massage.?

Our Covid secure charge of £5 is in place currently for each visit to the salon to cover the extra 15 minutes of time that is required after every client to fully sanitise the areas that you have had your treatment in. This is required and instructed through the COVID Secure government guidelines. I felt it was more transparent to add a surcharge rather than increase all of our prices so we can remove the charge at such a time that this extra time is no longer required.
If you have many treatments that you would like to have then we recommend trying to have them done together on the same day so only one £5 is required for the whole visit.
If you would like more clarity please contact me directly via phone or email. [email protected]
You can also see my LIVE video explaining the charge here https://www.facebook.com/TheEssentialsBeauty/videos/736461097145455/
