Dove Spa at re-aqua Virgin Active Streatham 3.6 6 reviews

What a lovely spa, very calming environment, excellent treatment it was very relaxing indeed, friendly welcoming staff. The location is perfect for me so I shall definitely be returning again!

Dove spa is inside the Virgin Active health centre/gym so of course it's not a day spa. Saying that the facilities were clean and the treatment room was tranquil. The therapist was good and I was requested to fill out a consultation form prior to my treatment. The therapist listened to my back complaints so paid particular attention to that part of my body and the overall massage was enjoyable. I used vouchers that were given to me as a birthday present and would probably go again as it's local to me.

I was expecting to to wrapped like a mummy!!! No just a plastic sheet and towels over the top and left to sweat.......the body salt scrub had to be wiped off with mittens as much as possible by the therapist as there was no shower in the treatment room. Very disappointed with the facilities and would not recommend this treatment (not at the Dove Spa Streatham anyway)! The facial was OK!

I came out feeling refreshed and renewed.

Had an excellent reflexology massage at the Dove Spa in Streatham this weekend. I was able to make the appointment a few days in advance which was nice. The spa itself was located inside the Virgin Active which was just tucked behind the high street.

The treatment room itself was very clean and the equipment was all in tip-top shape. My massage was super relaxing and the therapist was friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating. I am so happy I found a spa to use on weekends which I don't have to travel into the center of town for!

I bought the Dove detox package from Wahanda earlier this month and decided to book in with the salon that was local to me in Streatham. I've lived in this area for over 5 years and never knew there was a Dove salon inside the Virgin Active until I saw the list of locations on the voucher!
The staff on the front desk were really friendly and smiley and both myself and my friend were shown round the facilities and asked to fill out a quick and easy questionaire. Our treatments were booked for 2.00pm, but we ended up waiting an extra 20 mins, as the girls were over running, but they were very apologetic and there were enough magazines to keep us amused so I didn't mind.

When my therapist Stacey led me into my treatment room, I was surprised that it was a lot larger than I had expected. It was dimly lit with candles burning making for a very warm and comfortable environment. The treatment itself started with a gentle all over body exfoliation with a brush, and then a lovely smelling Aloe Vera gel was applied, starting with my legs and working up the body. As Stacey finished applying each body area she immediately wrapped it tightly in the wrap and covered me with a blanket to keep warm. I've had a few body wraps in the past and this one was very different as the gel leaves a cooling sensation on the skin whereas most wraps have always been warming, but apparently the contrast from cold to hot is what makes this such an effective detoxing treatment. Although not uncomfortable this might not be everyone's cup of tea. Once I was all wrapped up, I had a very relaxing facial and head massage, finishing off with body cream being rubbed in once the warp was removed.

The treatment definitely left me feeling revived and my skin felt beautifully soft afterwards. There was no hard sell to buy products from either Stacey or the receptionist, which was great and as such I felt more inclined to look at the products and actually ended up buying some of the banquet facial day cream that had been used a the end of my facial. At £35 a pot it's less than half the £85 I have been spending on my Elemis cream and feels just as good!

I'd definitely go back to either this or another Dove spa as the treatment was amazing value and just as good as some of the more expensive day spas in the City.
