The beauty room is just what we needed, they provide a really cool service, they actually listen to one's needs, and are on hand for advice. facials are just fantastic, and their waxing is just superb. no pain, quick and painles.. always ready for a return.
This Salon is beautifully decorated and has a very relaxed atmoshphere as soon as you walk in. The girls are brilliant, so friendly and professional every time. You are always made to feel so welcome and every treatment I get you are made to feel special...Just love visiting this salon for some relaxed "me time".
Keep up the good work girls.

Me and my boyfriend visited the spa last weekend on the recommendation of a friend of mine and we were so glad we took the advice. I had a crystal facial and was a little nervous beforehand because i have extremely sensitive skin but afterwards i was beyond pleased, you could actually see the difference immediately, my skin was glowing, soft and clear and even up to a week later i still had no need to use my foundation :)
I also had a thai massage and my boyfriend had a swedish massage. I loved my thai massage and he loved his swedish massage so much we decided to have massages at least once every two weeks.
The staff were really nice and made us feel comfortable and we even got a little discount which i thought was very sweet.
I thought it was nice they have gift certificates for treatments and purchased one for my friend that recommended it in the first place.
Luxurious setting, very friendly and helpful staff. Treatment exceeded expectations. ;-)
I was unable to attend though my review is on the staff that I have spoken to who I found extremelt helpful and understanding and I would imagine that this reflects the salon. I will certainly try to go in the future
I bought a diamond microdermabrasion via Groupon for this venue. Booked my appointment a little difficult as they explained they had sold over 300 treatments and where struggling to book people in. On the day of my appointment I woke with a cold sore, you are unable to have a microdermabrasion with a cold sore as it causes the sore to spread and can contaminate the equipment used. I contacted the venue to explain and was informed that if I did not have the treatment done that day they would not book me in for another appointment. I did not have the treatment done so therefore have lost the money I paid for the offer. I will not attempt to book any other treatments at this venue as their care policy for clients raises questions and the staff are extremely rude and unprofessional. I have since booked another microdermabrasion with a different local company who have the correct policies for carrying out this treatment who are in agreement that this procedure should never be carried out with a cold sore present as it can cause a further outbreak and spread the virus.
I was recommended by a friend to go here when I wanted my eyebrows done. I was interested in having the HD Brows but the only place I knew was in Manchester and I was very surprised a little salon in Mossley around the corner from me had this service. When I got there the Salon was fantastic, the place looked really nice, clean and they even offered me and my friend a bru while we waited. Our service was with a girl called Tara who did a fantastic job and was really chatty. I went back for my next appointment and was surprised Tara remembered me and the last conversation we had! I have another appointment booked in and can't wait to have a catch up with the girls. I would recommend this salon to all my friends
Bought 6 IPL sessions with the clinic through Groupon and treatment got cancelled without any explanation when my 3rd session was due.
The clinic had no sense of customer care and decency of contacting customers in advance to discuss just canceled the treatment, left customers without treatment and blamed Groupon for overselling their vouchers! (That's plain stupidity since deal was bought in October and my 3rd session was due in earlly April! How come they only noticed the problem 6 months after the deal was on? )
Do yourself a favour and don't touch them even with a barge pole.
Lovely shop, staff were very friendly, treatments were excellent, really enjoyed it. Only criticism was that the beauty room was too close to the reception and the manager was involved in a dispute on the phone and I could hear the whole thing which was quite stressful. I would recommend this salon as I was made very welcome and the staff were lovely.
I have naturally curly hair and I always let it grow too long between cuts, I went to this salon and asked for an appointment with someone who does curly hair and they booked me in. went back next day fot my appointment and was greeted warmly, the stylist was very friendly and sweet and we talked about what I wanted for a cut, just something to revitalise my curls, nothing drastic. She did a great job, did exactly what I asked for and I'm pretty happy with the whole experience.
The salon itself is gorgeous with a homey feel and I felt tottaly welcomed from the second I walked in, everyone else working there seemed to be pleasent as well... IT CAME OUT GREAT !!!
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!
My friends and I booked in before going away on our hen doo on Saturday. We all chose one of the various packages that were on offer and I have to say we were really pleased with what we received. The hair ups and styling were fantastic, as were the make up and spray tans ( MAC and Australian Gold). My firend also got her hair cut, and gorgoeus nail art which she loved also. All in, we were very happy girls, thanks to the girls there for working wonders! We wil let you all know how we got on when we come back!! xxxx
I had the delight of going to the London Face and Skin Clinic today! My friend recommended it and I must say I am amazed by the results. They have a brand new Caci machine and even with just one treatment I can really noticed the difference. Lovely room in Harley Street and lovely staff. Couldnt help but purchase some jan marini products too will feedback on whether these work soon!
Thinking I might go back and have some bottom work for summer! Definitely recommended :)
Beauty Therapist was very detail in explaining the treatment and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful.
It was easy to book appointment too!!
Very happy will book again and bring more friends!!
My lovley husband brought myself and my wonderfull friend a day visit and spa package from this 'exclusive' womens only gym. Knowing my husband had spent atleast a good 400pound on us i was looking forward to this lovely relaxing day to chill out, how wrong was i......
We decided to come to the gym preatty early as we knew we had a long day ahead of us i was greeted at reception by a lovely young girl who obviously didnt know wheather she was coming or going, we was no where to be seen on the computer screen to have a induction or beauty treatments! the young girl called the manager up on the telephone to explain the situation and to much to my suprise the manager said we had to wait half an hour until one of the gym instructors had finished her class, very angrey at this me and my friend decided to let the situation go over our heads as we was looking forward to such a wonderfull day.
We was taken round to the 'changing room' in which my description was a carboard box the stench in this changing room of B.O was unexplainable! no shower curtains and the rubbish on the floor was disgusting.
3hours later me and my friend had the most wonderfull workout which to my suprise the gym instructor helped us out but had a stinking attitude, we then decided to take 20mins sauna time before out beauty treatments started, we layed there for 5mins total bliss! until some awfull asain music was blaring i felt like i was in a nightclub this however was not relaxing.,..
After 20mins the beauty therapist come round and collected my friend and i, the therapist then told us they didnt have enough time to do the massage facial lux mani and pedi so we had to choose out of the mani or pedi this was also unexceptable as my poor husband paid such a great deal of money grr! But i do have to say my facial and massage was lovely until she came to the mani and pedi, put it this way my 3year old daughter could have done better, after such an awful day at reception i was the greated by a lady which called her self a 'manager' i explained the situation she gave off the attitude that she really could give two after all this lady had taken my husbands money she then begun raising her voice at me which i feel is very unprofessional after all charging £50 for 2 treadmills and a skipping rope is a rip off dont be fooled!
lovely relaxing time, great atmosphere, lovely food. we had a really lovely time - nice chance to chill out and have a catch up - the spa is very clean and relaxing
The service was really good and prompt. Will be visiting again soon in the near future. My friend also loved her treatment. Very good overall. Although may try a different location as this was based in House of Fraser.
I wouldn't bother.
All the KGB deals they've sold they are cancelling as their Beautician has left
You would have thought they'd thought of that in advance!
Went back for waxing as this venue is close for me and they were running a 50% off promotion, so a Hollywood and Full Leg only cost £21.50! The staff there are really nice, friendly, but not overly conversational. My therapist saw to me immediately (it's walk-in!) and checked that the wax wasn't too hot regularly. The waxing took about 40 minutes in all and was almost perfect, though not *quite* thorough enough to be, but if you check thoroughly they are more than happy to touch-up. As for ambience, there's an interestingly decorated wall to stare at during leg waxing, music playing, the noise from the store didn't penetrate the treatment room, and everything seemed very clean, comfortable, modern and spacious. Hygenic paper towels, disposable underwear and wipes are provided. I had to fill out a short form requesting my details at the end, which seems to be standard for treatments judging by past experience. Even at full price, the waxing is really good value for such a professionally executed treatment.
This was a product delivery - Moroccan oil for hair - it smells great and does the trick! I have only used it a few times but am so far pleased with the results.
There wasn't any experience to capture! After ringing the number provided by you, the staff member who answered said that they were busy and would call me back - But that didn't happen. So no I wouldn't recommend anything to family and friends. This might have been a freebie, but customer satisfaction should still be paramount. This would create more new customers. Unfortunately I didn't get any satisfaction so I wouldn't rate.
Excellant service cup of tea and cake on mothers day loved it!!!!!!! i am coming back again as my granma she loved fish pedicure with shellac manicure and my mum she loved head massage with facial...... staff are very friendly and recommand itttttttttttttttttttt
My treatment started 40 minutes later than planned (therapist was late...) I was explained every step of the procedure and the aftercare, my questions has been answered, which is fine. I draw the shape of my eyebrows for her so she sees exactly what my desired shape was. It really wasn't nothing unusual and I exactly knew what I wanted, which in normal circumstances should help the therapist. Unfortunately it took a while before she managed to draw something barely similar...In fact at the end I was amending the shape with her equipment!!! Final drawing was different to initially marked required shape. I just had an impression that therapist had her own idea...Anyway, brows are thinner than i wanted, but at the moment i won't raise the issue because i second treatment is required anyway (SURPRISE!!)... which btw appears to be more expensive than the voucher itself (voucher 89 and second visit 120) I hope I can amend my shape when repeating the procedure. Hope so....My brows are fuller and naturally nicely shaped - purpose of the visit was to enhance them. At the moment results are 5 out of 10....Thanks Penny!
My daughter treated me to an early Mothers Day present, a bit of longed-for pampering! The facial was DIVINE. Taryn has made my day and I'm already hinting that I will want another one for my Birthday in May! I would definately recommend this salon to my friends and have already booked a surprise treatment there for my sister's 40th. It is very smart and modern with a lovely warm ambience.
My skin actually feels a good ten years younger and a lot firmer!
Thankyou Saks!!
I have been a very satisfied Saks Beauty Newark customer for over two years and continue to have regular treatments across the whole range of services that the salon offers - manicure, pedicure, brow shape, endermology, Hollywood lashes, massage, waxing and microdermabrasion. Having visited various salons for many years in London and in Nottingham, I cannot praise Saks highly enough - this salon is a little gem! The staff are friendly, ultra professional and exceptionally good at what they do, the range of treatments available is impressive, the pricing represents great value for money when compared to other local salons and I have never once had an appointment cancelled or mixed up.
Last Saturday I had a gel manicure at 9am and by 2.30pm I had chipped a nail (entirely my fault, chopping vegetables for a dinner party!). I called Saks who told me that they were fully booked but offered to squeeze me in for a running repair after their official closing time - Emma stayed behind, fixed my nail and refused to accept any payment. With service like that, I will be a satisfied customer for a very long time.
I went into this salon today for a massage (yes I am a male we like our time too or maybe I am just vain), Even given my gender the girls in the salon were fantastic and I walked out feeling a million dollars. Will I visit again err.......... Definitely the owner even asked me how it was when I left so customer service must be quite tip top too.
This salon was by far my favourite with friendly, helpful, polite staff and a spotlessley clean salon with not a speck of dust in sight! I was consious about my wieght but there fab treatment endermoligie helped me to lose wieght and now I feel like a superstar. I also experianced other treatments that made me feel invinsible. I definitly reccomend this salon to all fellow women!
I have been coming to this salon since August 2011, I had just had a baby and wanted to treat myself and feel human again! I couldn't have come to a better place - the treatments are second to none and the staff are so friendly I have actually come to feel as though I am meeting friends.
I would recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for London standard treatments outside of the capital.
Thanks chaps xx
Finally found somewhere that does mens waxing to the highest standard. Took advantage of the hot stone massage on a different visit, was great. Fab treatments, surperb therapist (really professional). Inside is really modern and relaxing and the staff there are very friendly and polite. I would recommend this to anyone! :)
I have been going to this salon for a few months now and cant say a bad word about it. All the staff are very attentive and lovely girls.
I mainly come in to have Geleration on my nails and have had them done by Emma, Sophie and Taryn and all are so nice to talk to and always look after you! I have recomended to my friends and family and have even bought vouchers for family members for birthdays etc.
I will continue to visit this salon, always look forward to visiting its such a lovely and relaxing experience. Great Coffee!! x
we had a couple of beauty treatments today for my friends birthday, the new beauty salon is really calm and very pleasing to be in, the 2 therpists that looked after us were great really couldnt do enough for us, we were so impressed weve both bought our mums gift vouchers for mothers day! we both really recommened you give them a try, we cant wait to go back for more treatments, thank you girls,
I was very impressed with this place. Its a shame its so hidden away as ther staff are very friendly and the nail technician did an awesome job. I would definately recommend it to others!
Staff where very friendly as they looked after my girl friend mum when she fainted................ i would definetly recommand this place as the massage and fish pedicure we received was perfect for relaxation and therapist had excellant skills................
Just returned from a wonderful spa day at Salon Ten. Friendly welcome and guided tour. Lovely big comfy robes (great for us larger ladies!). Lots of chilling out on the loungers in the relaxation area on the top floor. Colour changing mood lighting and soft music in the background.Tea/coffee/juice to help ourselves to whenever we liked. My friend and I had a lovely time unwinding, having important 'me'time and having a good gossip! We were called as a pair for our manicures (which was fun) and then individually for our other treatments. Lovely relaxing facial including shoulder and neck massage. Used the sauna - made the most of everything! Adequate lunch of a choice of sandwiches on a bed of salad and crisps. We ordered some Cava as Salon Ten are licensed (bonus!!). More lounging around (ahhhh! bliss!). Met some nice fellow Grouponees there - we all got on well. Then we had our exfoliating scrubs and showers and back upstairs for refreshments. Yes! Half a muffin as per the other review but on a large plate with several other half muffins and pieces of flapjack too! And some were left over so maybe the half muffin thing is good for wastage and also our waists! Less muffin top! We were the last ones to leave at 5.45pm. We had a wonderful day and we would recommend Salon Ten to anyone. Lovely staff, great premises and ambience. I see from the brochure there are loads and loads of other treatments available.
I also went to this spa on a Groupon voucher but I would like to say that in my opinion it shouldn't matter if I paid full price, discount or got it as a gift voucher, the quallity should still be the same.
I would absolutely go along with everything the previous reviewer said in terms of the lack of quality and attention to detail at the spa. Quite shambolic: when we arrived we were the only two there but were still told to make our own drinks, very slipshod tour of the premises given and then left to our own devices with no idea when our treatments might take place, so weren't really sure if it was okay to go and use the saiuna. It turns out that this wasn't an issue as they had forgotten to turn it on, anyway!
When we mentioned this and some other feedback about the lack of communication (which is free, by the way, and would've improved the day massively), we were met with a barrage of excuses about it being so busy because of the Groupon uptake. As the previous reviewer notes, the salon did this to generate repeat business and could have limited the number of passes sold, so no excuses accepted there, sorry.
The treatments were very rushed- the luxury manicure was in fact just an express 15 mins, chipped very quickly and my friend's looked pretty rushed, too. Body scub was just a quick 5 mins rub of salt scrub onto bare skin then a 'hop in the shower and wash that off, should make your skin feel nice'. The facial was nicely done, but no skin assessment and really didn't suit my skin type. Not particularly relaxing as whilst left to 'relax' the thin walls meant I couldhear every word from the otehr room and the hair salon below.
No aftercare or advice offered from any of the treatments, either.
I believe the wording on the ticket included light lunch and afternoon tea. We had a plate of very scruffily made up sandwiches and half a muffin each. No afternoon tea, but plenty of free tea and coffee for you to make yourself.
I had gone to this spa as a potential venue for my hen party, but there is no way I would go back here. This was a really wasted opportunity for the spa to sell itself for repeat business, and also a waste of £35 as my friend and I could have done this better at home!
I was sorry to read the other review of The Powder Room. I live around the corner and go as often as I can justify. Katie who owns the boutique is lovely, as are her girls and I have always been happy with the service I received whether I go on my own, with a friend or when we went for a hen party.
I visited the location in North End road for a 1h massage deal I found via another website and how pleased I was with me discovering this location: close to the tube station and friendly massage therapist who paid attention to my troubled areas which I always mention. I left relaxed, revived and feeling lighter. Plus the price was a great incentive for me to visit this great location.
i am new to the blackburn area and was not sure which salon to go to, when i went in to salon de beaute, i was welcomed with a warm atmosphere and the staff were really friendly and polite to me, as for the treatments, they were excellent value for money! and they did a smashing job!i will defo use salon again! customer service is great! prices you can't go wrong with.
Had voucher from Kgb Deals was a nightmare after we left after only 20mins we went to another saloon to fix the damage . The eyebrow tint was a mess party lash fell out on way home glue all over
the place. Oh the facial consisted of her putting cream on my face 2mins not 20mins .It ended up costing of more to fix . As we where going to party that night .
Had visited the salon before for spraytan nails & eyelashes, was contacted on the morning of my appointment and told someone had phoned in sick and they could only do our spraytan and eyelashes which was fine, was happy with the staff and spraytan. Booked an appointment for a spraytan, eyelashes and nails for today at 3pm, had phoned the salon a few times throughout the day to change the appointment and there was no answer. So arrived at the salon 10 minutes before my appointment to find the shutters down and the shop closed, I waited 15 minutes and still no one arrived, they ask for a contact number incase something like that happens, yet no one contacts me, not very professional. Will definitely not be back.
WOW! i had to get on here a review. the place, the staff, the products, its just feels like it not ment to be in wolverhampton. well i love it. defo recommend anyone!!!!
Review of the Full Spa Day purchased via Groupon ( Salon price £110)
Not an enjoyable experience if I am honest, I got the Salon Ten Face and Body 'Wake Up' Full Spa Day - £110 (£35 on Groupon) this included, Morning Refreshments, Use of the Spa Facilities , Light Lunch , Wake Up Exfoliation, Facial, Luxury Jessica Manicure/pedicure.
We were not given morning refreshments, (we were shown to the kitchen to make our own drinks about an hour after our arrival) minimal facilities (sauna only), my friend and I were put into a treatment room together and had to get changed into our robes (a good thing we knew one another otherwise it would have been very uncomfortable, I feel it's the job of a good spa to put you at ease - this did not) I was given a grubby robe and fake tan stained slippers, walking around the beauty salon in these made me feel very uncomfortable, it was not spa like at all.
The Pedicure wasn't great, my nails had air bubbles an hour after application. The facial was great, hydrating and my skin felt great but I didn't stay around for the exfoliation treatment so I cannot comment.
To be fair the salon were bombarded with 'Grouponers' since the offer, not surprisingly really - over 800 according to one of the therapists. I assume they were not expecting the kind of response they received. However it was my impression that companies such as Salon Ten do these special offers to attract new clients in the hope of repeat business. I certainly would have returned had I had a more enjoyable experience. I can't help but think that Salon Ten gave the same treatment to all the 'Grouponers' because we'd got a cheapy!
I would love to go back and experience the Spa Day again, booked at the full price to see if the service differed, however the facilities alone do not come close to that of some high end spas where you can pay around £150 for a real spa and luxury (or even just someone to make you a brew!)
I wouldn't return to this spa, it was far from the relaxing day I thought...the facial I suppose was worth £35 pounds, I guess you can’t really complain.
Check out my full review on http://www.katiesbeautybouidior.blogspot.com
very happy would definitely go back and have more treatments at their salon. excellent value for money and location can't ask for anymore!!! the staff were very friendly and made me feel at ease and welcome and seems to know what they are doing, very confident!!!
I went to Cloud 9 with my sons girlfriend and we both had facials and a cut and blow dry colours by Freeda who was excellent she is a very experienced stylist who offers lots of advice the shampoo and conditioning treatment was lovely so relaxing. Sarah the beautician is the best ever i have been for quite a few facials but this was the best ever she does a full analysis of your skin and gives the best advice and uses the best products for your skin 10 out of 10 for this salon the staff the warm relaxed atmosphere and the professionalism. Returning tommorow wtih my son and his girlfriend who are having massages and i am having foils colour cut and blow dry cant wait, superb cloud 9 my sister has joined you now as well.
Wonderful! Received a gift voucher for Christmas and used part of it on a blow dry with a young lady and the remaining on a facial and mini manicure. (My friend had Minx nails and body massage). Was very impressed, not a frequent visitor to Beauty Salons but will definitely be going again. Lovely therapist who made me feel very comfortable from start to finish. Felt fantastic when we left the Salon, thank you for all concerned
after phoning for almost 2 weeks to get an appointment i eventualy had to go in to the salon to make the appointment as they dont have an answering machine, the female who delt with me has very bitter about these vouchers being to much trouble for her and she wished she had never done any! not a good thing to say to a client she had a very bad attitude.
Fairly difficult to find location of this salon, asked for directions prior to day of treatment. I was there
early by 15 mins, but unable to get in, as there was only I beautician on that day..Rang the doorbell for a while ,before allowed entry. Very small space for salon.appears to cater for private clients only. Beautician was very good for treatment, very thorough and friendly. Enjoyed my aromatherapy massage.
I got a voucher for New ID as a Gift from my sister for my partner and I for a Deluxe Makeover and Photoshoot for two including hairstyle, make-up, nails and drinks. I phoned up and booked it for a Sunday at 8am. I had to pay a depisit of 50pounds which could be used toward images or payed back to me after we attended the day. We were offered drinks, chatted to, asked what look we were going for, even my partner enjoyed it (he didnt want makeup but they managed to convince him to have foundation because otherwise the photo's will whitewash him). The hair was brilliant (I even bought some conditioning treatment because they made my hair so soft), Makeup also brilliant and gave me some tips on doing it myself.
Photographer was brilliant, talked us through, helped us pose in different clothes and backgrounds. Told to wait 1 hour before photo viewing and suggested we pop into town for food and a little shop, which we did.
Went back to have a look at the pictures. the room we viewed them in was small but it was fairly pleasant. We were overwhelmed by the quality of the pictures and had one heck of a job to work out which ones to get. None of them really needed touching up and there was plenty to choose from so it is easy to avoid that extra cost if you want to.
We both really had a good time and I am sure we will be going again at some point in the future.
When visiting the Spa at the Radisson I was suprised as it is only a small venue for such a large hotel. This a side the facilities where very clean and modern and the treatment room and equipment were more than adiquate. The therapist was organised and created a very relaxing atmosphere. I enjoyed my Hot Stone Massage very much but could not comment on the value for money as it was a pre paid gift. The therapist was very informative and gave me a little skin care goody bag after the treatment which I thought was a really nice touch and a reat way to try products that were salon Quality.
Convenient located salon, for a busy person working in central london with variety of treatments, therapist was professional and took time over treatments. I would go again. They do other offers which are worth asking about too.
wow best spa ive ever been too staff are great and refreshments were fitted to our needs i would definately reccomend this spa for anyone its very theraputic and relaxing ive been going back on a weekly basis now and the loyalty cards are just so perfect for my free fish pedi coming up so excited :D
I went for Morrocan Rose Ritual. Took my sister for her Xmas present and we were both very impressed. The beauticians were fantastic. Gorgeous facial and massage with perfect amount of pressure. Came out of there floating on air and feeling the best ever after such spa treatments. This exceeds in comparison to Mayfair Spa. Would definitely go again. The spa area has a lovely ambiance. The only small thing that would perhaps bother some is that the changing area is tiny but it has everything you need.
My opinion of New ID
Website – superb, this is a great site with lots of information, nice video, before and after shots and great deals.
Booking – very easy, buy a voucher online, get the pack that contains all the info, phone up and book.
Customer service department – very good and helpful people, efficient, honest and polite.
Salon – busy but good fun, nice atmosphere, great decoration, clean, oragnised and nice buzz
Staff – all great, really friendly people, happy, chatty and show an genuine interest in what they are doing.
Makeup – application – fantastic, loved what they did for me. Products – superb, I brought loads of their own brand cosmetics that are way better than a more expensive brand that I was using before.
Hair – great cut, one of the best I have ever had, love Burlingtons, will us them again for sure
Photo studio – fantastic, great backgrounds and props. Great fun, lots of interesting lighting.
Photographer – great guy, really knows his stuff, very chatty and friendly and very good at getting you to relax
Photos – awesome, great composition and really nicely done
Viewing session – awesome, very relaxed and no hard sales, the guy was very friendly and not at all pushy.
Overall service – superb, I would use this company again without a shadow of a doubt and would be more than happy to recommend them to anybody.
Very enjoyable facial, skin was left dewy and deeply moisturised. The hand massage was a wonderful extra and hand were left super soft following the hot mitten treatment. Very much like to go back - I hope to hear detail of their new salon, once they've moved.
as usual the best salon i town
profressional experienced and welcoming what more could u want from a top salon on your door step
cant wait to book my next appointment
This is certainly high end, very impressed with the facilities and the staff. Made to feel very welcome, Charlotte who showed us around was very informative and friendly, I was also lucky enough to have her for my treatments, which were excellent, she is fantastic at massage.
Gym very imposing, even completed a spinning class with a highly energetic instructor. Lots of machines and all the facilities you could want in a high-tec well thought out gym.
Spa area - The idea of the pods outside the treatment rooms is excellent, but it was just too cold for you to be able to enjoy the experience, definitely need heating in that area. Would also suggest that they replicate the drinks machine in the reception into the spa area, quite off-putting to have to venture out in robes to obtain a drink. Changing rooms and pool area all very nice.
On booking we were told we could you the Club Lounge, but on arrival informed us would have to go upstairs to Marco Pierre Restaurant, quite disappointing as we had to get dressed when we thought we could stay in our robes and not have to venture out, but the Club has only been open for a few weeks and their lounge wasn’t ready! but even so they should have made us aware of that beforehand.
Biggest criticism was - we requested a booking for Valentines for us and our respective partners, we wanted the Champagne Pedicures plus massages for all of us, but also wanted the use of the Gym, they said that wasn't possible because it wasn't one of their packages! Quite surprised that they couldn't offer any flexibility, especially with the prospect of an approx. £500.00 bill, who turns away business like that in this climate?!
very pleased with the treatment and the venue. Small team but very friendly. My face look stunning after the treatment and suprisingly I did not have the usual spots after such a treatment.
Very nice and I would recommend to anyone.
I have been having this treatment for approximately a year and 3 months. I was ecstatic with the results as i have suffered with bad skin for most of my life however the microdermabrasion cleared my skin up completely.I love the attentiveness of the staff and the personable service i recieve especially from my regular skin specialist Lili as i feel she spends a great of time on me and takes care with the treatments she does. I also recieve mini massages which are given with this chemical treatment in Human Hair and Beauty which i find very theraputic; i am greatful with the service i recieve and look forward to my next appointment
the oil is very nice, doesn't really smell and really works! The packaging doesn't look very posh, but that is the only point of critic...you really seems to get a glow.
I have been visiting Aspen for 4 years now and cannot recommend it highly enough. The treatment room is of a very high standard, with lovely decor and ambient music and lighting, somewhere you can totally relax. The therapist Cari is so warm and friendly and always takes the time to understand her client’s needs. My favourite treatments are the Aromatherapy Massage and the Diamond Radiance Facial. The massage is great for easing the tension and I can see and feel the difference after each treatment and the Diamond Radiance Facial smoothes and brightens up my skin a treat. I also like to take advantage of the monthly offers to try out new treatments as Cari is always adding something new and exciting to her treatment list such as the totally indulgent Lux Candle Massage. Why not visit Aspen for yourself, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
Im not one for bigging up any old business but the way I was treated at this beautiful trendy young feeling salon that had just been suggested to me by my secretary, I felt I had to. She had heard from her friend and this for me is always a great sign and the best advertising ever is by word of mouth. I looked them up online and the website was ok enough for information but I would update the webpage if I was them (that’s my business I will be leaving them a card). I booked in for the icon makeover and photoshoot which got me a new colour cut and style plus a photo session. This was looking like a bargain I was still waiting for the full whack and onslaught from a hard hitting sales pitch for whatever they happened to have on promotion this week. Well I can honestly say I was shocked at the way I was treated by the entire staff and management at Burlingtons and New ID studio and salon. They were one hundred percent faultless. My hair which is the bane of my existence was treated to such a glorious cut and style I was speechless.(which is very rare). The make up girl was so lovely and charming setting me up for the great time I had in the studio for my pictures. The photographer was good not too personal but also not too aloof. And by the time it had ended we did manage to get some stunning pictures of ME. The best find of 2011. Thanks Burlingtons and New ID.
I am very happy with the product I received. As it is 100% natural, I feel very confident using on my eczema prone skin; and haven't had a breakout since I began applying the oil.
I purchased the voucher for £40 worth of Narson Skin products for £18. I recognised straight away that this was excellent value for money and would make a nice christmas gift. My only concern was that the voucher had to be spent within a few days. I purchased my item but they did not come until two weeks later by which time I was beginning to get a bit anxious. If it hasn't have been the christmas period I wouldn't have been as concerned about the wait. Overall I'm happy with the products and would recommend to other buyers.
purchase on telephone with help from Wahanda as Narsonskin did not reply to my emails and their tel no refered me to website. So impossible to get thro to place order. Bought he £15 voucher for £40 worth of product but only bought the eye cream as this was valued at £30. Otherwise would have to spend more money to get anything else as there is nothing for £40.Looking forward to using the argan oil cream as know this to be very beneficial to face skin.
This was the first deal I ever booked with Wahanda, and I was glad that I did it. The York Hall Spa was easy to get to, just a short walk away from the station. The treatments were great value for money and the therapists were very friendly and skilled. The ambience was also great. The spa itself was very modern, clean and comfortable, Would definitely recommend it.
I didn't visit the salon but ordered some of the products online. I was really pleased with them and also the price from Wahanda, which made them extremely good value. I will definitely buy from them again.
I was very impressed with the product I ordered from this site and for the price charged. Would definitely use this company again and shall be recommending this to my friends and family.
I completely agree with all of the compliments that New ID get on this and on other review sites, I loved my makeover with New ID and have made a decision to go ever year even if it is just to get one or two pictures. I got such a good feeling from having a my makeover it really made me shine and has changed my look forever and I can’t think of anything better than every year going and having another revamp and seeing how many different looks I can come up with, I had no idea that reinventing myself was going to have such a profound effect on not only how I look but how I feel as well it really was the making of me and I have found depths to myself that I did not know that I had before. In terms of the cosmetic they are great too and they are so affordable, I am really loving New ID makeup and it is certainly getting me noticed. I learnt quite a lot from having my makeup done and have referred to the little chart they gave me so many times to make sure that I am getting my makeup right.
I had loads of Bucks Fizz, that was great, I felt almost famous, I have never felt like that before. The staff were all really cool and did a great job of keeping everybody happy even if it was very busy on the day that I went and there was a bit of waiting around but they kept us all really occupied and happy at all times and I did not hear one complaint all day so this experience gets one massive big huge thumbs up from me, well done everybody at New ID
I bought the body oil and it is very good. The skin tightening and conditioning is great especially after a hot bath.
The website was easy to use. The product took quite a while to arrive but it was around Christmas!
I purchase the body for myself and the hair oil for my daughter for xmas which she loves. I normally purchase the body shop body cream but this one is more luxurious although alot more expensive. Thumbs up for both products.
I am thrilled with this luxurious face cream from Narsons Skin. I found their website very user friendly and with no postage and packing to pay, a brilliant all round deal.
I have been going to this salon now for almost a year I originally bought a groupon offer, the dissatisfied customer on this site must be talking about another salon. I have always found this salon to be professional, very very friendly the facilities are excellent and the pricing is on par with the market place. The salon has never been cold at anytime always the opposite and the most I have ever had to wait is 10 mins as the client before me was running late. I have had both beauty treatments as well as laser hair removal and find the staff professional and experienced in their field. My wife has been visiting this salon alot longer than me and she says she would not go anywhere else as she has never come across people who care so much about what they do.
Great news for everybody who is looking for extensions. Advanced Hair Studio India makes use of modern methods and cutting edge technology to give volume and length to your hair. These procedures give natural hair and take away all your hair related problems. Thanks Advanced Hair Studio Delhi for making me look so young again.
My fiancé and I just had a makeover and photoshoot session with Burlingtons and New ID studio and we had an absolute brilliant time. We were both really up for the day and had lots of our own ideas for the shoot. We talked previously about what would look the best. And the friendly staff and Burlingtons and New ID took our opinions and told us what they thought and between us we came up with what is best. That was the tone for the session- lots of energy, laid back but professional. My fiance and I were really open to whatever happened because we knew our photographer has a great eye. He gave us a lot of direction, we weren’t just standing there hoping we looked ok. We really appreciated that. We didn't linger, hoping we got something good- once he captured what he wanted it was like, 'excellent, those were great, let's try something else!" All of our photographs were sooo beautiful this was all down to the skills that they all possess at Burlingtons and New ID. Both of us had our hair done before the photoshoot Dave my fiancé had his beautiful long hair cut a lot shorter than he wanted but I demanded it. (your too old for a ponytail Dave). My hair was spectacular much better than my usual salon so I think I may be changing salons from this day forward. What a salon everything just screamed class from the first second until we walked out the door. Thanks Burlingtons and New ID and I will see you very soon
I love Burlingtons and New ID. They are the only place I can find in London that does really great high and lowlights can give you a modern and trendy hair cut give you some professional model quality photographs and doesn't charge a fortune. They are worth every penny. You can probably get cheaper priced colour or cuts (at your grans beautician maybe) and a cheaper photography session but I doubt it will be anywhere as professional as you get from this lot here. I guarantee you won't find a better job for the price. I went to Burlingtons and New ID because all of reviews on line and elsewhere are raving ones, and I like you will not be disappointed. They photographed me spectacularly. The photos are magnificent. They done very few posed portrait shots, so if that's what you're looking for, they are probably not the best fit (although I am sure they are more than capable of doing those beautifully, too). They excel at is beautiful candid photos. My photographer really captured the essence of me in my prime. I recommend that you check out their website to get a better idea of what they do.
After seeing some of the photos they shot, several of my friends have contacted Burlingtons and New ID to book their own makeover photoshoots. I highly recommend them, the best hair and makeup but first and foremost for the fantastic pictures I had taken. I definitely will be returning to Burlingtons and New ID studio
I thoroughly loved my first and definitely not my last visit to Burlingtons and New ID studio. I have been to copious amounts of salons before, but this one is simply the best. I had been colouring my hair at home with dark brown box set for about a year and wanted something lighter and just generally better. So I called Burlingtons and New ID after reading their reviews and knowing that the nearest location was near to my home. I was booked for the next day for a Icon makeover and photoshoot. I would get my hair coloured by a pro and have time in a photographic studio!!! Wow I couldn’t wait. When I walked in for my appointment I was greeted by the friendly front desk staff, who gave me a quick tour and asked if I wanted anything to drink and I could not refuse a bucks fizz. What a perfect drink for getting your hair done. Everyone was so nice and helpful! I only waited 5 minutes for my colourist and stylist, to greet me. We chatted about what I wanted. I wanted my hair quite a bit lighter, but I did not want my hair blonde. Then she cut my hair better than I have had it in years. In the end my hair turned out so beautiful. I enjoyed my photoshoot but the best result for me was my hair. I got my complementary photograph in the end. From start to finish I had a spectacular experience. There were no pushy tactics to get me to buy their products. I cannot wait until my next appointment! They really listen and care for their customers. Thanks again.
I've have lived in the same area of London my whole life and had the same hair stylist from my very first haircut at age 3 up until I was 14 years old, my mum. I decided to look for a new stylist when my former one wasn't able to really produce the look I wanted (thanks for trying mummy) and for a few of years I had a great stylist but that relationship didn’t last and I found a lot of trouble finding a place that I really liked. By the time I was twenty one I found my perfect salon with great staff and great stylists. Burlingtons and New ID are the perfect combination, a talented salon and you can get some fantastic photographs taken. When I first came here I was blown away by the whole scene they have manufactured, everything just shone with classiness. My hair has always come out looking beautifully and I have had all my friends compliment me after every time I have visited. What I think is the best part of the Burlington and New ID experience is the photoshoot they always take informal, natural-looking photographs of me. I'm not a fan of formal photos, you think it's easy to stand there and pose for a photographer and try and look natural. Well it is not. Yet the photographers at New ID capture your beauty, and emotions. The photographs that I bought were just the best pictures of me ever and every time I return I always have the choice of buying the latest shots. Burlingtons and New ID has been my regular salon for over a year now and I highly recommend you pay a visit here as soon as possible.
I am not a real girly girl. I don’t know where all the best salons are at and I have never had a professional photoshoot. But after my first visit here to Burlingtons and New ID studio I am now obsessed with the place. I had an AMAZING time working with all the fresh faced lovely and genuine people at the salon and studio. My consultation and then cut and style with my stylist was fun, professional, creative, and my hair turned out better than I could have ever expected. In between me getting my hair cut and styled and a great lesson in hiding blemished areas and general make up, I was left to sit down and have a free drink of practically any kind from tea all the way to bucks fizz. Oh yes I love this place. When it was my time I was shown the way to the studio and my time in front of the lens was to begin. I was introduced to my photographer who was a younger man than I had imagined, but he loved his work and took his time to explain how everything would work and be pulled together for the final photograph to look fantastic. The shoot was relaxed, laid-back, and he went over photos throughout the shoot so we could get the best shot possible. The studio space is perfect and has great looking equipment, and his results speak for themselves. I could not recommend Burlingtons and New ID studio more, and will be sending my friends this way!
guys im really sorry! had my biosculpture nails sculptured with katja..and as much as great she is as a person im sorry but she is not talented for bio sculpture nails. one nail longer than the other..not smooth very uneven out of shape and not shiny ! alot of money for nails i could just do better at home myself! and the time it took 2hrs is not normal

I had a Hollowood and full leg wax at this salon this morning. The hollywood wax was a voucher i purchace on group on. The full leg wax i paid full price for. Bearing in mind that i myself am a full qualified therapist and i have had this treatment done before many times. THIS WAS THE WORSED WAXING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I was butcherd. my skin was not pulled tought, wax was placed in areas where it should never have been placed EVER!!! I was left with broken skin and swelling, I cannot sit down. Ive just returned from the NHS walkin centre, i have antibiotic cream to prevent infection, painkillers and have to visit my gp in two days time. THANX BEAUTIFICATION !!! realy looking forward to my weekend.....not
I am what I describe as a professional day outer. There is nothing i have not or will not try. There are hardly any salons, spas, massages, saunas or makeover places that I haven't hit since I moved here one year ago. As I have been down my list I have found some great places and some right old dives. This time i was going to Burlingtons and New ID. For a more than reasonable price I was getting more than i was even offered in most other salons. First check off was the welcome 10/10. Polite and many choices of beverage. I then had a very concise consultation 10/10. Then off to my chair and the stylist was great again polite and chatty not too much so 10/10. The final style and make up was also heavenly 10/10. I was offered a bucks fizz 10/10 while I waited for my studio to be readied. My photographer was the pick of the bunch 10.5/10 He made me laugh and pose like I was born to do this. I did have several changes of clothes and this didn't upset him in the slightest. When my time was up I jumped into the viewing room and I fell in love with myself. I managed to stay in control and not spend too much money. There was no hard sell they didn’t need to I would have happily bought them all. This is now my number one spot and i will passing through here quite regularly. What a find This place called Burlingtons and New ID 11/10
As soon as you step inside the door you know you have entered a special place. I had come from a stressful week of work and I am transformed into a beautiful new me after the sessions you receive from the staff at Burlingtons and New ID. The prices that they charge in no way brake the bank but if your ego is at stake- its well worth spending a little bit more. Burlingtons gave me the BEST haircut of my LIFE!!!!! I'm not kidding. i had this ugly half and half cut, and she turned it into a short little masterpiece. I live in West London and have been desperately looking for someone with their talents. I mean, they have worked with celebrities, so my friend had told me, and i swear to god you end up looking like one afterward. It is worth it, you don’t even have to save up for this cut, the prices are most reasonable. The environment is very friendly - everyone who works there is really nice and you can read your paper in silence or gossip about whatever you want to - they're up for anything. It is very fascinating for me to have a chance of being a model for a short time. The photographer I saw was able to create vibrant, exciting and meaningful images out of me. He had a real understanding of space, light and my energy...His outstanding images of me were fantastic and I couldn’t have imagined that I could look like that in a photograph. I cant fault my short time spent at Burlingtons and New ID.
I had a very enjoyable time and i feel i learnt alot from the therapist i spent time with. It was an informative and relaxing day and i would recommend it to anyone
I went to Burlingtons and New ID for the first time and I will be coming back the salon and staff were that good looking and I hoped that a bit would rub off on to me. I could not have been happier with my experience here! After I walked in the door, a young lady who turned out to be my hair stylist gave me a welcoming smile and introduced herself. Then I was directed to my chair, and what a comfortable chair it was. I do like a good one to relax in while getting styled. It was at this point I was reminded about the complimentary drinks and so I sat like a queen on her throne with my tall glass of fizzy wine. It was a little piece of heaven. My hair stylist was fabulous! She transformed my horribly neglected locks in to a gorgeous movie star 'do. In fact, I was so impressed that I already have scheduled an appointment with her next month to work get some colouring done. I was ready for my professional shoot and I must say I was a little bit nervous because I am quite self-conscious about being in front of the camera. She was fantastic about listening to what I wanted the result to look like and looking at the magazine I had brought in to show her. She guided me through the process of directing me what to do to get the result of how I wanted to look in the frame and helping my thought process to keep me on track. This pure professionalism shone through in my pictures. Thanks Burlingtons and New ID and see you in a few weeks
the venue is excellently placed -very convenient for a spot of afternoon shopping. the treatment was ok, although I do not usually like to talk during treatment so it could have been more relaxing if was't asked questions.
The best manicure i ever had, also i saw fishs there and it looks very nice and freaky. but manager advised that its natural way of doing pedicure which is orginated from turkeyand my partner tried and he loved it.
i think i will go there for xmas with my girls overall good experiance.
I have been going to Cari for around two years. She is a lovely, caring individual and I always leave her feeling on top of the world. Do not hesitate to go and see her - you will not be disappointed.
Our experience having a makeover and photoshoon session at New ID was absolutely wonderful. It was a few months ago and I still smile when I think of how wonderful we were treated. The girl that helped us was so sweet and I feel so sorry I can't remember her name, but she helped us choose how we wanted to look and gave us a hand with co-ordinating our outfits so we would look good together and gave us heaps of other great fashion and makeup advice that we both use and has made us both look really super.
I certainly don't agree with a couple of negative reviews which I came across during a Google search. There are not many but the ones that are there I find hard to believe if my experience is anything to go by, I don’t think some of them can even be true.
This was one of the most wonderful experiences my family has ever had. We all felt pampered.. All the staff made us feel like we were at a spa and our finished photographs had a touch of something magical.. I don't know how they do it but we all felt like a celebrity during the entire process and photo session.
Our family has had photo sessions done many times at other studios and most were just adequate. If there is one negative point, it would be a wish that this studio existed when our children were young. I just know our photo-takes would have gone a lot smoother. It makes me sad we can't turn back time and do this all over again.
If you are going to New ID I advise you to just relax and let them pamper you. It felt like a very special and once in a life time experience. I hope you will feel the same magic.
I had the hand antiaging treatment which was a treat for my dry hands in the winter. The therapist also gave me tips and emphasized importance of exfoliating before moisturising which was useful. A one off treat for dehydrated hand for me.Enjoyed the experience.
Today I write this review because I want to tell everyone what a wonderful time I had while having a makeover photoshoot at Burlingtons and New ID studio. I have had two professional photoshoots before. The first one I had was a wedding present in New York and was over eight years ago. That one was a great day but it cost a tremendous amount of money. My second one was 4 years ago in London that was a great day but not a patch on NYC. It is great to look at the difference in the photographs. So when for my birthday this year I received an Icon makeover photoshoot with the Burlingtons and New ID team. I was sure that my day wouldn’t come close to my NYC day firstly because the price was less than a third of what was paid, but the proof is in the pudding because the day I spent in New ID blew the spots off all the other makeovers I had done before. The staff were so friendly and helpful and not once did I feel like they were just going through the motions. My hair stylist listened and had skills with her scissors unlike anyone who had touched my head before. I didn’t take her suggestions lightly and the final style was better than I could ever have imagined. The photographer was a true professional and had so many ideas and everything about my session was better than I had seen before. When it came to viewing my photos I was knocked over by them. My new hair colour and cut looked amazing in my photos and I had to buy the beautiful photo album to put them in. You can trust me when I say Burlingtons and New ID are the best at what they do from New York City to London town. Simply the best.
. I would like to shout from the rooftops about my superb first time spent at Burlingtons and New ID studio. I went for a platinum photoshoot and makeover. The price was 150 pounds which is a little bit more than I usually pay for hair cut but not that much more and with the added bonus of time spent with a pro photographer. As I sat looking at myself in the mirror after my wonderful wash cut and blow dry, all I could think about was what a great place to find and I hope to become a regular client. I was waiting to get my make up done for my photos to be taken. I sipped on my free bucks fizz and thought I could do this once a week. That would be a little bit overkill, but the way I was made to feel, relaxed and tranquil I wanted more of this place. The photo session was great and again the words relaxed and tranquility come to mind. The compliments on my hair were non-stop for a week after I had left, and let's just say it was a self image boost I was in desperate need of. It's so strange how a good haircut can improve your confidence. I haven't felt this good about myself in a long time.
Now I think at Burlingtons and New ID you can come here if you are after some smashing shots of yourself with the fun of having a complete makeover, but I would recommend one and all to try a makeover but also I will be coming back here regularly for my haircuts and you can do that too because the prices are so reasonable.
I went to the Luci Foreman salon for a manicure and haircut the day before my wedding and on my wedding day Luci and her team did my hair and make-up. What an amazing experience!! The salon is gorgeous with great music and lovely staff. My haircut is gorgeous and really suits me, and my nails were perfect for my wedding day and lasted for ages afterwards. I had a lovely time while in her salon - I felt very relaxed and pampered before my wedding - I would recommend it to any bride-to-be!. On the day of my wedding I had my hair and make-up done - she made me look and feel like a million dollars!! She made me look so great and gave me a lot of confidence - I had a huge smile on my face for the whole day! And of course lots of compliments from our guests. Trust her - she will make you look amazing!
My friend told me about Burlingtons and New ID studio. I wanted to have a makeover done but I have had several bad experiences at several high-end salons, so I was skeptical. Scheduling was quick and easy, and the front-desk staff was cordial and efficient (showing me around, introducing me to most of the staff, offering me my choice of beverages while I waited, I went for the bucks fizz). And my stylist was superb. She took the time to ask about my lifestyle and styling skills, really listened to what I wanted, and did a great job of sorting out my horrible haircut. I have tight curly hair which was set upon by the last stylist I saw. So I needed to get a good job done, and that was precisely what I got from Burlingtons. If you want great pictures to be able to look back at when you are older and grayer well at New ID studio you can. Having my pictures taken there was an experience I'll never forget. The enviroment was fun and i had a good time at my session. And the great part is, is that you can see it in the pictures. My pictures turned out better than what I expected and I'm so happy with them. Everyone working there was so friendly and warming. They are very professional but know how to have fun and make you have fun also. I wouldn't have wanted to get my pictures done anywhere else but New ID. So if you want an outstanding makeover and photoshoot go to Burlingtons and New ID studio . You won't regret it.
The Therapists, Anne, was very friendly and very good at what she does. I loved her facial and her massage techniques on my face. The algae mask smelt a bit funny, but I came out of the spa with a very plumped and moisturised face. The effect lasted til the next day and the 3rd. I would recommend this facial place.
Went in on an offer for a backcial and deluxe pedicure.must say was s bit wary goin into a home salon but my fears wer proved worthless as it was absolutely stunning and relaxing. Therapist sam was so proffesional and nothing ws too much for her.ended up having my brows waxed with hot wax which id never done before,wch surprisingly wasnt as painful as I thought.got myself a bargain and my own personal therapist!!
I happened upon Burlingtons and New ID one day as I was shopping. So I thought I would pop in to see what they had to offer, and what they did have to offer was great value for money I thought. So I spoke to the very polite young lady at the desk and she explained to me what they had to offer me. I didn’t want to spend too much money so I went for the beauty on the go makeover, as it was only 25pounds. I thought that looked like a great deal seeing as I was offered free drinks throughout. I was a good girl I had a cup of tea to start off as I was sat down for my consultation. They told me that they had time to start straight away if I wanted. So I thought lets go for it and I paid my money and got ready for my time in this beautiful looking salon. The total time I was in from when I walked in the door and was sat in the makeup and stylist chair was great. I was then offered a bucks fizz which I would never say no to. I didn’t feel rushed but it felt like I was dealing with real professionals. They cleaned my face to make a clean page and set about me. The make up girl and the stylist were obviously friends and enjoyed their work because it showed they worked in perfect harmony and they really had fun with me which made my time even more enjoyable spent in New ID. When they were finished with me there wasn’t a larger smile in the place than mine. I looked stunning, different, but stunning. The darker shade and my new styled hair went together so well and I would have never have thought of it myself. Thanks to the girls at New ID and I am coming back for a makeover and photoshoot for sure
I am really critical and cynical about hair salons or maybe I just don't remember the last time I went to a salon to get my hair professionally cut and came out feeling happy with my finished hair style and after so many bad experiences in the past, I avoided it as much as possible until now and i found New ID. I saw so many good reviews about New ID, I went with them. From the start, they knew exactly what I wanted and what I didn't want. They really listened to me so they could achieve the results i wanted. Their skills are superb, not to mention the stylist has an awesome personality. She's easy to talk with and definitely made this a great experience. She also gave me helpful tips on how to style my hair once I had left. When the hair and makeup session were over I looked great and was really excited about having my photos taken. I was shown into the photographer’s studio. Before I sat for my first shot I asked for a quick drink and quickly quaffed my bucks fizz. I was now relaxed and ready for my photo session to begin. I was made to feel so comfortable and relaxed that the time spent there just flew by. When my days experience was over I sat down to view the pictures that had been taken and choose which ones I wanted to have if any. The pictures really told the story of my time spent there and captured that moment in time. Thanks New ID. So what are you waiting for? Book your appointment today.
New ID studio was shown to me by my boyfriends sister, Nancy, who is a regular there. I needed a haircut and my regular salon in these hard times has sadly had to close. So I let her take me down the path to New ID. Before we went she showed me the pictures that she had done when she was last there and my god she looked fabulous in them. She explained to me it was a great salon for your hair but as an added bonus you got the photoshoot to boot. You get one free print at the end with the choice of buying many more and if you want to go completely crazy you can spend thousands of pounds. Well that really wasnt for me. We went on their website and checked out what deals and packages they had and what a smart move that was because they had the deal of the century buy one makeover photoshoot get one free. We both looked at each other and grinned. So we phoned and booked the deluxe package which at fifty pounds was very cheap, even cheaper as it was two for one. When we arrived at the salon I let Nancy take control but it seemed to me if I had turned up on my own the day would have run as seamlessly as it did anyway. All the staff at New ID went out of their way to make our visit there a pleasant one. The initial consultation was great and as we were sitting sipping our free bucks fizz as we chatted it was a great start to our day. The day just got better and better. The hair stylist was great and produced a great style for me and Nancys was lovely also. We sat down for our make up session and that was fun fun fun. I learnt a few new tricks which I was sworn to secrecy not to tell, if you want to know you'll have to book and go. But I must add that my favourite part of the day was the photoshoot. Oh what fun it was. Nancy and I took turns but they let us pose together as well, and my favourite picture was of us two girls together looking fab and it was great finish to a great day. When we left I was now a follower of the New ID idea and when my hair needs a lift next month at least I will be rushing back there and this time I will take some more money to spend because I have my eye on that sweet looking album which has a place waiting on my table at home. Thanks Nancy for showing me the way and thanks to all at New ID
Pampered like a princess, and well worth the round trip. Thank you Sassy.
After trying loads of places in the town I was over the moon to find Sassy & co, it's family run business that have won loads of national awards. I have to say, they pamper you well here and five stars is not enough. Reading the other review forced me to write this as all I can say is, this a brilliant salon! NEVER GIVE UP BEING SASSY!
You have a customer for life here!
Ive been going to love Hair Love beauty since May 2010 and can not fault the service. Complimantary drinks on arrival, friendly chatty staff, everyone makes you feel welcome.
In the past I have avoided hair salons due to rude staff and unwelcomeness but at Love Hair Love Beauty its first class treatment all the way.
I could happliy spend a few hours being pampered there.
The massage was really nice however the facial was not as good, the therapist kept leaving the room and didnt seem very interested. The staff on reception were not very friendly and the free glass of wine was hard work to get. They were suppossed to give you wine on arrival however we virtually had to beg for it at the end of our day before we left. We were not given a choice like stated she just took it on herself to bring us what she wanted. This experience would have been better if the staff had been a bit more caring.
I had a really bad cut and blowdry at a salon and after the snobbish staff didn’t back down and apologise to me I stormed out with my hair a right mess, luckily for me I passed Burlingtons and New ID Salon and decided to go in and see if I could get a consultation there. I explained my situation and they immediately sat me down and explained what they could do for me. I looked at my surroundings and booked an appointment for as soon as possible and that luckily enough for me was the following day. When I arrived I was offered a drink so of course I said yes, I love bucks fizz, the hair stylist was super friendly and we never ran out of things to talk about while I was sitting in her chair. I also appreciate that she wasn't pushy about products or services. She did however, give wonderful advice regarding styling my hair myself which, I am the first to admit, is not my forte. If you're looking for a stylist who has the experience, personality and skill to make you look great, Burlingtons and New ID is the place to go. The thing that made my day special was the make up session and then the photoshoot. My first and not my last. What a blast I had. Standing, sitting posing and pouting I was made to feel and look special. The final photos were stunning I only kept the one free photo I was given but I am going back to get some more shots and I will be buying more prints and maybe even an album they looked so great. One salons loss is Burlingtons and New id studio’s gain. I will plug this place everywhere I go to everyone I meet. Thanks New ID for fixing my bad hair and showing me a new way for me to enjoy myself.
A few months ago, my morning routine was simple - get up, shower, shampoo and air dry, go to work. Not any more. Since I had my makeover at the New ID studio and salon where they worked there magic on me, now I have to get up, do my hair the way I was showed how to by the staff at New ID. Because I have gotten so many compliments on my hair. I now have to live up to the standard. I have even started using product, which I never did before. Inside New ID is an awesome photography studio. When i took my pictures there my photographer had all these ideas and worked around with my ideas. All the pictures came out great, It was hard to choose my favorites! They're all so incredibly nice and make you feel right at home when you go there! So if you haven’t had a makeover before this is the place to go. They make you feel comfortable and the environment is awesome!!!! For sure if you want good creative pictures go see them at New ID. All my pictures turned out great there wasnt one picture that I hated. i love them and me and my boyfriend are soon going for a deluxe makeover photoshoot for two. And when I do iam going to get the extra prints and even one of the photo albums which were lovely but I wasn’t going to buy it myself when I can make my future husband buy them for me. Thank you New ID I appreciate what you did for me so so much.
The New ID studio has by far the best stylist I have ever met, the cut I had was superb. I was extremely lucky that I found this warm, inviting space. The place is cute, attitude-free and there's a nice vibe about the entire shop. They did an amazing job preparing my hair, washing it, and they used some products which I had not used before on my hair to give it more life. It worked like a charm! I’ve never had such great results before. My hair is straight, but with body, and I can still style it, too! Great job! After the cut, they styled my hair for me too. Overall, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. When I entered the photography studio I was guided to the back dressing room to change. I am very happy with the end product. I loved the opportunity to choose what photos i wanted. I am recommending New ID for doing an exceptional photography shoot and they were very professional and were in high spirits which helped me enjoy the session even more. Most photography places are high pressure sales retail establishments, but when I visited New ID Studio I felt immediately at home in a family atmosphere that was all about people and making them smile. They are just plain great at creating unique pictures with natural smiles that sell themselves. At no time did I feel pressured and left there feeling as if I had gone to visit friends. The entire staff seemed to pitch in so that our pictures were perfect. I left looking forward to my next visit. Two thumbs up and five stars for New ID
had a facial by Sara..... the best highly recommend ... booking again asap
as per usual cloud nine does not let me down... warm freindly and just like a family ... but still remaining profressional..... hats off to Farida...... and sara.....
My son went to New ID to have a much needed makeover, his girlfriend got the gift for him and I was really amazed that he went because he had never done anything like that before and I was very sure that it was not the sort of thing that he would enjoy on any level but madly enough he had a great time and came round to tell me all about it and honestly I have never seen him so enthused, they had certainly done a great job of his hair and he looked better than I had seen him look in years. So it was with great joy that on my birthday a voucher turned up for me to go and have one, he had paid for me to go and enjoy, I was a bit worried about it as I was going alone and felt a bit self conscious, I had no idea what to take clothes wise, they said that I could take up to four outfits but I got into such a two and eight about it I took about six tops and five skirts, a dress and a jump suite, I expected them to be really cross but the girls were great and thought it was quite funny, we had such a lovely time at the consultation working out which of the clothes I was going to wear, I don’t know why but I was really surprised how friendly they all were. They talked me into going in for a very different hair style than anything I had had before and I was a bit worried about that but it turned out great and really suited my face, I still love the style and I know I will keep up with it, I could hardly keep a straight face for the pictures I think it was nerves but they came out great and I brought five of them and I only really wanted two. I am very happy with the picture and we always have a laugh about how my son got me to do something that I thought he would never do in a million years!
Destination Skin does offer a lot of high tech treatments, and of course, this was good value for money on this offer. I did have some spots after the Oxy Facial treatment, but the staff kindly offered to change the next treatment for me. No spots the next time, although the therapist i had was quite young and did put a lot of products onto my skin before i left, including a sun block - but it was already dark outside by the time i left!! My skin felt quite tacky. I am not sure i would be completely confident with having any laser work done here - i would do a lot more research, and i would question their training and ask to see certificates etc.
I booked a treatment for permanent make up as my natural eyebrow grows just a little, every 3 to 5 years I am refreshing old tattoos instead. The salon is very easy to find. After feeling some forms, the therapist step by step explained to me the procedure and applied some anaesthetic cream. I was really pleased how Penny found exact colour mixture and patiently pencil in different shapes until our full satisfaction. The result was just perfect. I would highly recommend her as a professional permanent make – up therapist as she definitely knows what she is doing and I enjoying my new eyebrows and receiving compliments about them.
I had any kind of service and it's poor, cheap, always late or classes are cancelled, disgusting showers and swimming pool....I complained till I could now I'll get my membership cenceled. I rather be fat than catch a desease! People bring your money somewhere else!
I booked a Deluxe Makeover for two for my daughter and I, she is one of those kids that just does not care about her appearance which is completely opposite to me and for years I have been trying to get her to do more with herself and the more I try the worse she gets. She is off to University next year so I felt I was running out of time to make a change for her and then I found New iD on line when I was looking for an eyeliner of all things and thought it would be a fun thing for us to do and also a last ditch attempt to get her to do something with herself.
The voucher I got for her was received with mixed feelings really I think, part of her thought it would be fun but I could see that part of her was thinking it was just me trying to get her to do things that she didn’t really want to do again! Anyway she agreed to come along and we both got a warm welcome, she had a Bucks Fizz that seemed to go down pretty well, it was a bit too early in the day for me so I stuck to coffee. We had our hair done first, I had not long had mine done so just got a trim but Jane has a super cut put into her very long hair and some layers that gave it a lot more body and even she said that she was happy with it. We then went for the makeup and the difference in Jane was astounding, I always have makeup on so mine, although good was not so pronounced, Jane could not stop looking at herself.
We then went into have the pictures done, Jane had taken the usual jeans and a top but I had taken her a dress along which to my surprise she was happy to put on for some of the pictures and she looked stunning. I could tell in the viewing session she was very happy with the way she looked and I am pleased to report she has been making lot more effort with herself so mums out there if you daughter looks a mess get her to New ID
After I had been pestered by my sister to go for a photoshoot for some time, something that I personally did not think it was my thing but i decided to take the leap and let someone at the New ID cut and style my hair. And then go and have the photoshoot like I had been told about. After reading reviews here from other customers, i was inspired to visit the salon. The salon staff were friendly and professional. There are no pretentious attitudes and the atmosphere is very welcoming. After my first free drink which was a lovely glass of fizzy wine ( I wouldn’t call it champagne). I had a small consultation about what I thought and what they thought. Then I was sat down with by far the best most detailed talented stylist i have come across in an absolute age, not to mention how personable and down to earth she was. My haircut just just falls into place. The layers are perfectly done and it makes it so easy to style. They also gave me tips on how to style my hair that no other stylist offered! The photo session that I was forced into by my big bully of a sister (joking Suzy) was really really fun. They were professional, and captured some great moments. I can say as a makeover virgin I don't remember too much that was going on. I was unorganized and they set me on the right track and I let them have their way with me. Their pictures were real and beautiful. Best Photographers ever, even though they were my first. They captured everything that was good about me. They worked with me and gave me the perfect memories I could have asked for. I would recommend then to anybody and everybody. You couldn't ask for better. P.S. Affordable without being cheap.
Conveniently located in the House of Fraser. The reception was bright, clean and the therapists were attentive and friendly.
During my consultation the beauty therapist spent a lot time talking about my health, skin regime and analysed my skin in a machine.
She then made several suggestions of what treatments I should have. She then went on to up-sell me, which I wasn't surprised as it is a business and the suggested treatments were needed anyway.
The facial was good, she was gentle and my skin was glowing afterwards.
My suggestion for Destination Skin is that they need to create more ambience. (1) Lights need to be very low, (2) the music was too upbeat, a lot women like really calming music when have treatments (3) a blanket would be nice and more comfortable than hard towels (4) some form of smells in the room create a beautiful ambience as well... so this really needs to be improved as it felt as if I was in the dentists....
If they can improve these things, then I can see myself becoming a regular...
I Just recently Join Gym there and I am so much satisfied with my performance and weight loss. all because of really different way of gym operation every single member get full concentration from staff. all help available there all the time. tried Some beauty treatments just can't believe the prices so low prices and very professional treatment. well done
Ok, went here as I had a deal, two for one including facial, indian head massage and Spa (pool etc). The starting point is that when you arrive the spa is billed as LA Fitness which is confusing. The small slightly grotty treatment room for two people is not great. The dermalogica facial was good and well worth the cost alone. The therapists were good. The rest was downhill, the spa was a sweaty LA Gym with a grotty changing room with badly chipped tiles on the floor which were dangerous. The pool was smaller than expected from the photos,nowhere to lounge /relax and very dark and taken over by bully boy city types who forced my friends out of the water - so I opted not to use it. So upshot, is the deal was good just for the facial but don't try to make a day of it as it is not that type of spa! The treatment should have been four stars and the environment 1 star so came out as a 3 star!
I actually had a really good experience here when I visited from my first ever Spray Tan.
There was a wobbly start when I arrived for my appointment & found they hadn't actually booked me in and the therapist was on lunch. However just as I was preparing to argue, the receptionist called the therapist off lunch to treat me immediately. The therapist couldn't have been more lovely and got my a fruit tea whilst she quickly set the room up and I was taken downstairs to a quite, clean and relaxing waiting area.
The therapist was chatty and patient with my, especially as I had no idea what to do and asked a million questions. Everything was explained clearly and the therapist made me feel very cared for and at ease, despite the fact I was mostly nude in front of a complete stranger.
My one criticism was that the therapist said the depth of colour of the spray tan would adjust to my own natural skin tone i.e. not go orange or too dark , which is exactly what did happen. Perhaps I'm simply not used to the 'leather look' but I did feel the tan ended up being far too dark and unnatural looking, which drew a fair bit of ribbing at work. I don't think I'll be heading back to Jarrolds for another tan but there's absolutely no reason why I wouldn't head here to try another treatment.
. I just got my photo frame from my makeover at New ID and I am happier with it than I could ever have dreamed it is excellent. After a wonderful makeover I thought it would be really nice to really splash out, the pictures were so much better than I could ever have anticipated to after much deliberation I chose to purchase the Premier B frame, it looks fantastic, there is a large central photo and then 12 around the edge, it was a bit of an investment but I got a good payment deal and for me it is worth every penny. What I really love about it is the central panel is an LCD screen so you can have a rolling picture that changes or you can keep one and then change it as you feel like it. Its great and everybody has commented on it, it has made me feel really good about myself as even though I have to say it myself I look really fabulous in all of the pictures. The actual makeover was great, the studio was really busy and I am not really a very big fan of being around a lot of people in a small space but it was really good fun and all of the other people that were there that day seemed to be having as much fun as I was and we got along really well together, in fact two of the ladies, Jade and Amy have kept in touch with me and they are coming over next week to see my frame, I bet they end up wishing that they had taken that offer as well! All of the staff at New ID made me feel very welcome and they made sure that I got the look that I wanted, I was happy with that because I was a bit afraid that I would not have much of a say in the matter but they were great and checked all along that I was happy with everything. It will be a few years before I go again but I have every intention of doing so, it did wonders for my self esteem!
I had the most awful experience with Natures Du Monde, I went for IPL treatment and one of the therapists called Geiga was rude, uncooperative and frankly shouldn't be working in the service industry.
When I tried to book a consultation, she refused to discuss the treatment with me on the phone claiming she had customers in the Salon who were more important and she then put the phone down on me. I am sure the other treatments are fine just avoid this crazy woman and IPL there unless you want your face burnt by an angry therapist.
Good experience, good quality treatment for reasonable price. I would probably go back if there was a similar deal. I am not sure if I would go if it was to pay the full price though
I personally think that what makes a salon a great experience is the attitude of the Staff - from the cleaning staff - right up to the Stylists and Owners. The sense of Teamwork at The New ID Studio and Salon was terrific. The young lady at the front desk checked me in quickly and efficiently. My stylist looked at the shape of my face and gave me suggestions as to what she thought would look best on me. She gave me a caramel base with lighter highlights and left the long length that I had but added lots of textured layers. I have never received so many compliments on my hair and I love it!! Watching the young new stylists, observe the Master Stylists with respect and enthusiasm - soaking up every bit of knowledge they could - was amazing.
Then it was off for my pictures to be taken and again I saw nothing but professionalism and integrity. Everyone seemed to loved what they were doing which made for an exciting atmosphere. The energy in the New ID salon was electric - the helpful attitude and attention to the client are first rate. The photographer conducted himself in a considerable manner by going above and beyond. Not only is he a professional in photography, but his gift is unique and original. Everything that was pledged to me from this lovely place called New ID for the day I had was not only met but it exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to receive my album. Thanks New ID for an incredible day.
i am really happy i have found a gym with a creche. however this was not stated on the website. the ladies that own the creche are lovely and do so many activities with the children. and the price per hour is £4.50 which is good (considering the price of a nursery!) and then i saved my self £9 by booking a block session of 10 hours with a 2 month expiry date. BARGAIN!!! the staff within the gym are nice and extremely helpful and give you an excellent one to one session when being introduced to the gym. they have lots of classes on offer, (again in creche opening hours which is wicked) and a nice waiting area. the music played into la fitness is update and something for everybody. sadly the bar/cafe has gone but the staff said they hope it will re open, but this did not bother me as la fitness is next to cosco and the collenades where their is a food court. i am really happy with my membership so far and will keep you up to date with how its going.
A brilliant place to be "pampered" we loved it here, staff were lovely helpful and couldnt do enough. treatments were on time, affordable and top notch for what we paid. they used the very best products and this showed n our overall treatment and time here. even down to foils for hair colouring being branded (in some shops tin foil from local shops are used) a very pleasent time had overall we will def be booking up for more!
After going through the nightmare of waxing appointments being cancelled repeatedly by my usual therapist right before a trip, this walk-in brow + waxing bar was literally a life-saver. The location was really convenient for me, as it's just between the shoe and perfume departments of the High Wycombe House of Fraser store on the ground floor, so really easy to find. House of Fraser is centrally located in the new-ish Eden Centre, so there's great shopping around and plenty of parking (free on the nearby streets on Sunday and after 6pm other days!) The waxing is done in the 'beauty rooms' hidden behind the brow bar. I just turned up and the lady wrote me in for after she'd finished with her current client (it was a Sunday so she seemed to be the only one around at the time.) The prices are really good considering the proximity to London and the fact that it's walk-in (I think I paid £42 for a brazilian/hollywood and full leg), and they have all the paper underwear and towels for those who need it! My therapist was really efficient and friendly, talked just the right amount, put on music, and encouraged you to check for missed areas (which was great as I once had a therapist from a different company who just ran off after doing a horrible job!)
Neroli is a little bit of heaven. Every therapist is professional and personable and meets the needs of their clients. I have been to many beauty salons but this is definately the best.
Truely worth a visit!
Fab visit, treament and value for money!
Moroccan Oil massage was fabulous and the staff we're really friendly and made you feel at ease.
Don't be put off by the outside appearance of the building as once you're through the door its lovely. Definitely will be back again in the future.
This was a sadly disappointing visit. The facilities are far from luxurious, more like tropical done badly. The therapist gave me the wrong treatment even though I raised concerns that it didn't seem like the one I had booked and confirmed by phone. They then forgot that I was booked in for a manicure after my treatment and wanted me to come back on another day. Luckily they finally managed to fit me in on the same day, but the resulting manicure was pretty sloppy. And they couldn't stop name dropping a celeb they had given spa vouchers to and that they were hoping would stop in one day - not very professional!
I ordered on 20th September but although a month has passed, I still have not received my order. I have contacted them twice through the online system but no one has replied!!
I went to louise in the run up to the wedding and the facials and tanning treatments were superb. I also had gels and minx treatments that were initially excellent but I was disappointed the second time round as they didn't last (product rather than application). This is a great salon and they are very friendly and knowledgeable.
I thought the New ID experience was fantastic and really amazing value for money. I thought the makeover was very comprehensive, the facial was superb, and I was impressed with the amount of tips and advice the professional makeup artist was willing to part with to make sure I continued to be able to look my best even after the makeover.’
The hair salon is amazing, the lady that washed my hair gave me a head massage at the same time, I really enjoyed that, it was superb. I had a nice cut and the lady that blew dry my hair did an excellent job on it, have never had a straightener put through my hair before, I quite like having a bit of a wave but the way they did it looked really classy and elegant and I am going to order one online and try to do it again myself, I was very impressed.
I liked having my pictures taken but not as much as I thought I would, some of the poses that the y tried to get me into for me seemed a bit childish, I think they were after fun shots and something quite modern and not too serious where I really wanted some sort of portrait shots but I got those too, I was happy with those but to me it seemed like a bit of a waste of time doing all the other ones as well as I told them that is not what I was after.
The follow up to see the pictures was great, I didn’t get the hard sell, they, of course are going to get you to try to buy as many of the shots as they can get you to buy but they did it in a very nice way so I would be very happy to recommend this makeover experience.
I went to New ID to celebrate the fact that I have recently got rid of a very horrible man out of my life, dropped a stone and a half and had breast implants.
I was already feeling very good about myself and I thought that having a New ID makeover would make me feel even better and it would just as it says on their website, a chance to see how great I can look
The makeover that I had made me look and feel amazing, and I was very happy with the way that the makeover was carried out.
The New ID team do a wonderful job and even though there is a lot to the makeover the way they do it on the day is fantastic, one part of the makeover flows naturally into the other and it all works out very well.
I loved the makeup and the consideration the makeup artists put into what they are going to do before they do it, you are very involved in your makeover and you have plenty of input, this I found to he very good because I don’t like people just doing things to me without my input so I found this to be very agreeable.
I was over the moon with the entire experience and I enjoyed the photo session immensely.
In terms of quality the hair and makeup, and photo shoot and prints were all over and above what I had expected.
I came out of New ID walking on air and would recommend this company and this experience to anybody that would like to feel good about themselves for what ever reason.
To me this is something girls, and even guys for that matter should do every couple of years to give yourself a boost.
My sister got an offer on hair straightening at this high street hair salon. Equus London advertise themselves as an expert in Yuko Straightening but they're quite rubbish at it. The service was quite commendable at first and I'd give them credit for that, but the hair straightening (Yuko is supposed to be permanent), it was a complete waste as it got washed out in a day leaving hair greasy and smelly. Having undergone Yuko straightening earlier, I can assure you that they don't use Yuko certified procedures because the effects are absolutely horrendous. Her hair got frizzy and curly in a few days. She called up the salon and reported that it went frizzy and they offered to do it again with a free manicure thrown in. Again it was initially impressive service which didn't deliver in the end, the second time over the hair straightening DID NOT WORK and the manicure offered was not even mentioned during her visit. The staff was kind but they lacked attention to detail. It was Yuko gone wrong because her hair smelt of ammonia when she washed it out on the second day. I had to put in deodarant on her hair to make it less smelly. I definitely would not recommend this place for another visit. It was a waste of money and time.
We arrived at 10 am and wasn't expecting our room to be ready until 2pm. We were delighted when our room was ready. It was a lovely spacious room with good views. We had a fab time at the spa and a delicious lunch. We especially loved the water beds and "sleep room" that we used after our massage's. The treatments were lovely and the therapists were good. The steam, sauna and Jacuzzi were lush and the overall experience was just so relaxing. The meals in the bar were reasonably priced and delicious. The breakfast was lovely. Overall had a great time and we are looking forward to going back in Jan.
I was not expecting miracles at all from New ID, far from it, I thought because it was so cheap to go and have a makeover there it was going to be one of these cut prince things that I was really going to regret going to and on top of that the pictures were going to be rubbish.
I got in and was immediately impressed by the salon and its staff who were friendly and courteous, my booking was handled professionally and I started to wonder why it was so cheap.
The next thing was a very informative consultation where it was established that I would go for an evening look with the sort of Smokey eye thing going on that I have never been able to achieve by myself.
The quality of the hair cut I thought was superb, I have had a good hairdresser for the last few years but she is off on maternity leave so I was wondering what I was going to do, but now I have a new one I a not even sure that I want to use my old faithful again, how bad is that.
I loved the makeup and I really liked the way they took time out to show me how they did it and I am pretty confident that I can get the same look again.
I was feeling very confident in the photo studio which was unexpected to say the least but that just goes to show how good the makeover are and really do what they say they are going to do on the website.
I really enjoyed the photo shoot and by the looks of the pictures during the viewing session they are as good as I could have ever expected. I have not had delivery of them yet and can hardly wait for them to come so I can get on here again and tell you all about them.
Great website and easy to use ,with lovley items arrived well packaged and with no damage , really happy with my purchase.
i thought it was great value with then voucher but otherwise a little bit pricey
I ordered my goods on September 18th. I have not received them and have contacted the company by telephone and by email and have not had a response. If I do not hear in the next week, I will be asking for a refund of my voucher.
A BIG THANK YOU to the staff @ BeautyForever, my nails looks perfect, the haircut and colour is the one i wanted for long time. exellent services, deffenitly see you soon.!!!!!! Very friendly staff !!!
My husband and I had a couples makeover at this branch.
The voucher that I got directly of the New ID website was forty pounds and included hair, makeup and a photo shoot with complimentary drinks and one free 12 x 8 print.
I was a bit surprised that you had to take along your own clothes as I thought that as part of a makeover they would put you in some new outfits that you would not have thought to try before but in fact you take your own garb along with you, you can take up to four outfits but we were happy to just have two, we took along some smart casual clothes and then we did a night shot with me in a silk nightdress and Pat in his PJ bottoms, it was a bit of fun but we also wanted something ever so slightly more intimate without going down to our underwear, the staff were really sweet and we felt very comfortable having our pictures taken with the very nice photographer that went out of his way to make us feel very comfortable.
Both Pat and I had our hair cut, Pat didn’t want any makeup but in the end he let them put a little on just to even out his complexion.
We both felt great while we were there, New ID make a bit effort to make sure you are happy at all times and I had a lot of respect for their level of customer service, we were both very impressed with the hair stylists as well.
We did our best to make a big dent in their supply of Bucks Fizz but they didn’t seem to mind that at all, it would have been nice if they had put a few snacks on though because it certainly all went to my head! Perhaps that is why I felt so relaxed having my pictures done!
I highly recommend New ID and think the makeovers and the pictures represent great value for money!
The actual products were first class. The aromatherapy oils in the products particularly the candles are of good calibre and the scent lingers. The presentation was very appealing and modern. Good quality white and black packaging with black tissue paper inside. The giftset has a solid almost magnetic locking case.
You might need to have to put up with chasing the order a bit as I did because unlike some companies after confirming the order there was no update re timescales for shipping. But I suspect this might be because it is a smaller ethical company wanting to reduce footprint!
Very pleased with product though. I would recommend. Thank you.
This is not a treatment, but rather an online eco-produce shop. I was surprised at the lack of variety of goods on offer through fair squared. I am still waiting for some of my order some several weeks later. Having said this, I am happy with the products which have arrived including several lovely smelling candles.
I would highly reccomend a visit to see Lara, from the minute you walk in you can just relax. She offers a wide range of treatments and all are fantastic value for money. I wouldn't go anywhere else now i've found her.
How can you go wrong when the service is free. I did feel obliged to purchase something when i was there but that's only fair really and the idea behind the whole promotion. The ladies were really friendly and the facility was gorgeous although tricky to get to so maybe if your in the area this is great but if your not, its a bit difficult. In any case my eyebrows look fantastic and Id definitely go back to them again.
Mitra has made my stay with stardent so very smooth and simple and the treatments have all been well explained to me. The botox was better than I expected and was the one thing I had reservations about. And the veneers also went very well. A very well worked team.
Worth visiting, lovely relaxation area, spa facilities brilliant. They have dry floatation area which was an add price. Not sure why on some packages they charge you extra for robe and slippers - take your own!
I went to Kiyoshi Spa last month at Abbey House, Booth Street, I had a facial by Kyia the male therapist, I have had many facials and spa treatments all over the world in many 5 Star resorts and hotels, the facial I experiance's was incredible, I can honestly say that I have never had a facial like this, I am so impressed with the therapists skills and the attention to detail, I felt so incredible after the treatment, my skin felt AMAZING!!! I had the DIAMOND ELITE Micro-Dermabrasion treatment, this left my skin feeling silky smooth and soft to touch, the Germaine 5 Star Skin Care they use is our of this world! They smelt so wonderful, they use steam in the facial and I requested for Extraction which they do, they call it Chinese Extraction, it cleared my skin up and my skin looked flawless for days after and wweks later my skin still felt so much healthier and new again!
I also went to visit Kyia on Bengal Street after purchasing my new Germaine Skin Care products, I went to meet Kyia to collect my products and he took me to show me there new premises on Great Ancoats Street at 8-10 Outram House, it looks great, obviously they have lots to decorate inside which I'm sure it will look lovely in time, big place I thought! They are expanding and it's great to be apart of Kiyoshi Spa's progression! Can't wait to see what they do next!
I have an appointment coming up at there new permanent premises with Kyia and I really looking forward to my treatments, I have also had ipl hair removal and it works incredibly well, all my hair us dropping out on my back, I hate hair and this is a life saver! There machine is very good, I would recommend anyone to Kiyoshi Spa especialy my close friends and family, the treatments are awesome!
DO NOT GO HERE!!! AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. I went for my bridal hair and makeup trial...my hair was not done the way I asked it to be done, the stylist was extremely rushed AND had the nerve to tell me that he knows what looks best on people they're not always correct. UM..it's my freakin wedding!! As for makeup...I looked like a drag queen. The fake eyelashes fell out AN HOUR after I left. When I spoke to the manager (who took 2 days to call me back) she was ridiculously RUDE! I can not say enough how horrible the customer service was. I would rather shave my head then go back to this salon. I don't know how they stay so busy. Go ahead and try it out if you want to be overcharged and disappointed.
Girls girls girls go and have a makeover with New ID if you want to give your spirits a lift it is brilliant, it changes your life, it changes how you look, it changes how you feel, and it makes you want to look good all of the time and not just on special occasions.
After several failed relationships I found I had lost interest in men and how I look and piled on a few pounds then one day I was out having lunch in a department store and on the way out saw a dress that I wanted to buy, it must have been 18 months since I brought myself anything new to wear and when I got undressed in the changing room I was shocked at the rather pudgy dowdy looking woman staring back at me, my mouse brown lank hair in no sort of style, my dowdy drab clothes, no wonder I didn’t get a second look. I hit a crash diet, went running again and lost 7 pounds in less than a month, I got on the sun beds and then I got the make over and what a make over it was, a total and utter transformation took place and I felt and looked like a million dollars.
I started to feel so much better about myself but once I had a new hair cut and some really class makeup as well that is when I really felt like a new woman.
By the time I got in front of the New ID camera I was brimming with confidence and felt like a totally different person and the photos just go to show how different you can look and feel if you put your mind to it.
I hope my story will inspire you to go and have fun at New ID too
Folks the place is beautiful and spotless and kept clean all day. The treatments and staff are super lovely .. however, you are told to arrive at 9:15 (harsh!!) and then told to relax for an hour at least .. with a coffee .. no fruit or fruit juice no nibbles nothing.. we had to hunt for sugar and fruit tea as there was none in the room further more all the magazines where old .. at least 5 months old. There are no normal spa facilities like pool or steam room so its really boring between treatments and you can only use the hot tob at the allotted time. Saying that the treatments are great - its an upmarket beauty salon - I would not call it a spa. The lovely lunch was a tuna wrap .. a very thin one with water .. not even a fruit salad. I guess it just did not come up to the standards of other day spas we have been to where you are spolt and there is more to do than relax with 5 month old Chat magazine.
I have used Beauty Above since it opened and it is fantastic. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I have used most of their products and when I took some time out to start up my business when I returned they remembered me which I think is great. I would highly recommend them and am promoting them in my business too. I wish them all the luck in the world and see you again soon.
I will never go back to that salon. There was obvious tension between the girl who was doing my hair and the small number of lazy stylists who sat in the back and never left their seats--even when prospective clients came in. The salon was dirty, with towels thrown in one of the chairs, and hair on the floor behind one of the chairs on the other side of the salon. The girl who was doing my hair was very professional, did a great job on my hair, and tried to make me comfortable, but the nasty comments and rude behavior by the other stylists was horrible. If this is what a Mia and Maxx salon is like, I'll take my business elsewhere.
Very good therapist! The studio is in the bowels of a busy and unfortunately very noisy hairdressing shop (Cool Cuts) within a small Shopping Mall just in the middle of King's Road. Despite the location being very convenient, the actual atmosphere was hardly conducive to relaxation. In the small boot where my facial took place, a loud mellow Magic Radio music like was barely attempting to cover the hustle and bustle going on in the surrounding shop.
Must be honest: I felt strongly skeptical! BUT(and here comes a big but) the therapist, Daniela, then started to work on my face and shoulder with such professional, competent and ultimately knowledgeable hands that made me thoroughly enjoy the treatment. She made the noise and the dreadful (for me) music almost fade away.
it's a real pity that such a good therapist is confined in that place, which is, on an other hand, very clean.
Moreover, she is a non frills lady and didn't try to sell anything to me. She just goes on with it and does her job beautifully. I think it would interesting to try a full body massage with her.
My beauty therapist Theresa was attentive clean, efficient and thorough. I had the lycro waxing treatment which was amazing plus a pedicure and the best eye lash dye I've ever had. Will definitely be going back.
This is a lovely little beauty salon hidden away in hyson green. Sophia is absolutely lovely and very professional. I had a leg wax here and it was done exceptionally well. I shall definitely be returning and would recommend this salon.
I was really shocked to find out the price of the CD images at New ID. I had a look the day before I went on the website, I am not entirely sure why I didn’t bother to look before but the prices are thus
Section CD (1)
£ 100 Section CD (5) £ 450 Section CD (10) £ 800 Section CD (20) £ 1400
To me I thought that was a crazy amount of money and I was very glad that the deal I had chosen included a free image.

I have to say at the time I walked into the door I had no intention of coming away with anything but the free one that I was going to get as part of the package, but as the makeover went on I was thinking wow, I look so incredible it is going to be hard not to want a few of these pictures if they come out looking anything like I am seeing in the mirror, I know that sounds like I am a really pretentious person but it is not about how great I think I look, because normally I look rubbish but these people make you look totally amazing.
I thought the photo shoot was amazing and when I saw the pictures I was totally amazed and much to my husbands disgust 800quid is now missing of my credit card but boy will he be happy when he sees the pics!
Spa facilities are amazing. Love their relaxation area. Unfortuantely they got a few things wrong, when arrived asked to fill out ususal health form, therapist took no notice of information within when treatments took place.
They also got bookings mixed up - took me and friend to double treatment room, when I had specfied in booking wanted single treatment rooms, that was no trouble to change. Further booking mixup - had booked a 60 min pedicure, but they had it down as 30 mins, which they couldn't change, so they offered a complimentary 15 min facial boost, which we accepted but no effort put into it!
When I spoke to the Manager she was extremely apologetic and offered us discount for our next visit.
If you were having lunch as part of your package, think again, as you would have to eat with plate on your lap, there is currently no seperate dining area, they have plenty of space in which they could add a few tables.
There's bound to be hiccups as it has only been open 2 weeks.
Despite all the above it was a lovely day, thoroughly enjoyed by both me and friend, would definately recommend and visit again.
I visit Cocoon regularly to be "Minxed" and it is an enjoyable experience. The Salon is really well decoarated and the staff are lovely. They even get Minx designs in specifically for you if you give them notice. There are massage chairs to sit on while the Minx are applied as well so the whole experience is great. Highly recommended.
I love going to Dreamsday every treatment and visit I've had have been great. The staff are lovely, the spa is relaxing and the treatments are fab! Can't wait for my next visit in October! xx
Claire's is a truly professional salon. The therapists don't necessarily tell you what you want to hear but much better, they tell you what is honestly possible. So, you will never make an appointment for a treatment that wont work for you. Honesty is rare these days but the professionals here are honest and have the most wonderful results. I have been to many other beauticians in Edinburgh but this truly is the best!
I visited Dollface about a week or so ago, I had travelled via chalk farm but is just as easily accessible from camden (its next to nandos if you know the area or opposite the end of camden stables). which would have saved me being late had I known
My therapist was Theresa whom I also understand is the boss.
She was very friendly on arrival and immediately made me feel at ease.
The salon is located at the back of the building through a hairdresser and a small vintage boutique.
I didnt wait at all and after filling in a brief form about my needs and wants we got to work.
I wanted a facial to moisturise and refresh as was due to go on holiday. She had a look at my skin and told me my needs - she had recommended another facial but was not advisable as was going away (I liked this fact) after a while I was really relaxed - the face massage was fantastics and the products smelt gorgeous.
She explained the procedure as she went as well which sometimes people dont
I would recommend you to check this out as is always hard to find someone who cares about what they are doing in this town.
Dollface - 10/10
I was very pleasantly surprised at how good the New ID makeover was. I was told by a few people that these kinds of experience things are a rip off and basically designed with getting you to part with your money in mind. I was really looking forward to having some professional pictures taken but I have to admit that people telling me how awful it was going to be all the time did sort of take the edge of it a bit.
I had a very good look over the website and familiarized myself with the terms and conditions and made sure I was under no obligation to spend money that I didn’t want to spend and I felt pretty confident, but I had also got myself ready to face any hard sales they might sling at me and was ready to put up a fight, so when I got in there and found the delightful receptionist friendly and helpful I was a bit shocked. I had a really nice consultation with another lovely lady who explained that I didn’t have to buy any pictures, I would be given a complimentary shot and there would be a private viewing session at the end of the makeover where I could choose to buy pictures if I wanted to, it all seemed so friendly and relaxed I started to feel a bit stupid for getting myself in a state about it in the first place but kept my guard up a bit.
I had my hair done, that all went really well, I got a great cut that I was happy with and it was done in a friendly and professional manner, then it was the same story with makeup for sure she told me the products were for sale but in nothing other than a giving over some information kind of way, the shoot went great, I really loved it, I had to wait around a bit to see the pictures, they were jaw dropping, I wanted all off them, I brought eight of them an nobody gave me any hassle or sales pitch at all.
I am so glad that negative comments did not put me off having a really good makeover with New ID
Luci Foreman and her amazing team of stylists and beauticians are, by far the most professional team i have had the pleasure of meeting. Although i live abroad i visit the salon for a cut and highlights - the reason being ; a constant high standard of hair dressing and good, honest advice on what suits me and how to get the best out of my hair.
My sister recently got married (10-9-11) and choose Luci and her team for hair and make-up. On the morning of the wedding Luci and 2 members of her team came to the house. 8 adults and 2 children were made-over and styled. The results were outstanding, my hair stayed put for 2 days! The morning was very calm and relaxed yet the stylists worked in an organised and very efficiant manor - the pics are on http://www.luciforeman.com to prove it!! (check out Laura and Andy`s wedding). Many many thanks Luci and the team!!!!!!!!!!
We went to this Spa for a Hen Do and it didn't disapoint. We had a wonderfully relaxing day. The staff were lovely and the Spa is perfect! I would go again and would recommend very highly.
I am not entirely sure that I really believed New ID’s claims about how much having a makeover can do for your self esteem and how it can work miracles, but just in case it was true there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity of feeling like a new woman.
Having recently come out of a very long relationship and not exactly unscathed and recently having moved back to the UK and feeling a little low without my sun tan I thought a miracle would be just what I needed to feel good about myself and my life again so New ID jumped off the screen and said come and have a go of this. I am really glad I did because they are entirely correct, it really does make you feel like a million dollars, it does do wonders for your self esteem but you know what, even if it did neither it would still be worth going because it is a really great experience and there are some really nice and friendly staff who pamper you to bits and make you look and feel nice!
I have to say that I was more than a bit impressed with my new look, I loved both the hair and makeup and was fair blown away by the pictures that made me look like I have always wanted to look but never got round to it.
A word of caution, have a look a the picture prices on the net before you go so you know what you are in for because this is not a cheap pep me up! But it is worth it because now every time I see myself in the picture it reminds me what I am worth and it stops me from ever allowing myself to be treated badly again.
I think this is a must do for any woman who is feeling a bit trodden on!
I have been going to Ha'nds on Beauty for a year now, and have had manicures, pedicures, waxing and facials. Ha, the therapist, is amazing! She is very skilled at all treatments and is so friendly and welcoming. She will add free flower designs onto your nails, ensuring each nail looks perfect before letting you leave. A trip to Ha'nds on Beauty is a relaxing, enjoyable visit and worth every penny!
I agree with the last post, I had a really great Makeover experience with New ID in Birmingham and find it impossible to believe, unless they have changed their entire staff, that people who were so professional and polite with me could be so off hand and rude to other people, but then perhaps people treat you as well as you treat them? when I was there there was one lady who was so demanding and rude I would have found it impossible to keep my cool with her, she was demanding a makeover that was never going to work, she could not have looked like the images she took along to show the staff how she wanted to look in a million and one years. If that had been me I would have had to throw her out before it got to the point where I simply hit her.
I think a lot of people who claim to have had bad experiences probably went a long with unrealistic expectations in the first place, coupled with a bad attitude, not having done any research or bothering to find out what costs what.
If people are too stupid to realize that they are never going to look like a super model when they are about five stones overweight then more fool them and if they can not be bothered do use the click of a mouse a few times and find out what things cost then when they get a shock at the price who is to blame?
I had a wonderful time, I got a great makeover, I felt great, I looked great and I was treated with respect by all of the staff who did each individual bit of my transformation. I was not shocked at the prices because I bothered to find out what they were before I went and at no time was I pushed into buying anything, wanted or otherwise.
Sorry but I had a great time hear and don’t like to see the place run down.
What a load of rubbish, I have been here twice, my daughter has been once, my niece has been three times, and two of the girls I work with have been one with her husband on a couples photoshoot and the other on a mum to be thing where you have photos of you taken with a bump and we all agree that this branch is run by some of the most polite people we have ever come across.
Yes the pictures cost a fairly significant amount of money but do you actually know the price of hiring a personal photographer? And to say that the pictures are just the same as ones that you can do yourself is just silly, anybody that is reading this and goes onto the New ID website can see the before and after pictures and anybody with half a brain will know that having your pictures taken in a professional studio with a professional camera that is being operated by a professional photographer is going to result in far better pictures than anybody could ever hope to take by themselves.
I think that the pictures, whether you have them on CD or you have them as prints with or without frame represent excellent value for money at New ID and there is no way that anybody should read the review below and take any notice of it. The New ID website has details of all of the costs of both the makeovers, and they are incredibly good value, and the cost of the pictures so there is no reason you should not know in advance how much they cost and if you think that is too much it does rather make me wonder why you went in the first place? It is not as if you only find out the prices once you get there, they are all clear to see on the website.
I will continue to recommend New ID and should I fancy another make over I would not consider getting one anywhere else.
I was presented with a gift voucher for a deluxe makeover with New ID by the people that I work with and I thought to myself hey up this is a bit odd, what are they trying to say here, but after I had a look online I thought to myself, well actually this is looking like it could be a lot of fun so no matter what the motivation was for them to send me on such an experience I was determined that I was going to enjoy it and enjoy it I did.
I arrived at the studio at 9am sharp and was shown to a seat, given a drink, I had coffee as it was far too early in the day for me to start hitting the Bucks Fizz, although it was still nice to be offered, and after about five minute of filing in forms I had a chat with a sunny girl who went over what was going to go on and I was then shown down to the hairdressing part of the salon.
I had my hair done and then took a seat again for only a few minutes before it was time to go over and have my makeup applied, that took around twenty minutes during which time I basically interrogated the young girl into giving me more information and advice than I think she has even given in such as short space of time but she was really lovely and answered all of my questions so that was great, I felt like I had won a bit of a bonus prize there.
I then went back over to the hair section and got the finishing touches put to my hair, a bit of a spray and just like that it was over and into the photographic studio that was fun and cool and interesting and not at all the intimidating experience that I thought it might be and I felt very relaxed and in the pictures I looked very relaxed.
It was about half an hour before I was called in to see the pictures and then had a very difficult choice as I was so impressed with all of the pictures. I think New ID do a great job and I would recommend them to anybody
I arrived after work on a Friday and was given a glass of wine as I had my manicure. Both the wine and the manicure were good, followed up my manicure with a facial, and head, neck and shoulder massage, both of which were perfect. My therapist applied just the right amount of pressure during my massage, leaving me really relaxed. She also explained what to do if I started to ache over the next few days, i.e. use hot and cold packs. The facial was equally good, with each product explained to me along the way.
If you can drag your man or persuade him to come and have a makeover then do because it is great fun and also very romantic.
My neighbor, who I get along really well with took her husband to get a makeover with her, I think she had about as much trouble getting him to go as I had getting mine to go but we got there eventually. Once you get them through the door they are more than happy to stay because the staff at New ID are really great with guys, they are great with women too, but typically we actually look forward to this sort of thing anyway, the staff made us both feel really comfortable and the glass of Champagne Bucks Fizz as soon as we got through to door helped quite a lot too.
We both had superb hair cuts, I have used Burlington’s before for my hair but Tony had not, but even he had to admit it was one of the best cuts he has had.
Tony was not remotely interested in wearing any make up but in the end he did let them go with a little bit of powder, just to even out his skin tone, he did make me promise never to tell anybody but then he wont know that I have done this review.
He read the paper while I had my makeup done but I did catch him glancing over from time to time and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he loved my look as much as I did.
We went into get our picture done, the first one or too we felt a bit strange but we soon got into it thanks to the really cool photographer that made us feel really comfortable.
We had a really hard time picking out the pictures as were all so good and we did actually spend a bit/quite a lot more than we intended, it was really worth the money though and we both loved the experience
Venue was lovely, therapist was great. But the treatment was quick and not very good value for money wouldnt recommend to anyone or visit again. Pity. On the plus side the food for lunch was excellent and the cook was very friendly and helpful.
I would love to have four makeovers, I have only had one but I cant wait to go back and get another one, this is such an amazingly unique experience and it does really put the smile back on your face.
I had put on heaps of weigh after quitting smoking by basically binge drinking and eating like a horse and I am sure all the benefits of quitting were wiped out by that but eventually I started to get back on track and when I felt almost back to normal I thought it would be a nice way to celebrate my journey.
I had a look online, I was going to go for the fashion makeover but I though to hell with it and figured I would treat myself to a deluxe makeover, it was not that much more expensive.
I was a little shocked at the price of the pictures, when I had a look on the website and phoned them up to find out how many of them I was obliged to buy and was amazed to find that you don’t have to buy any of them and you get a free one, so really it could cost you virtually nothing, there is a postage charge on the free one but it is only a few pounds so I felt really good about the whole thing and walked in to New ID feeling very relaxed and quite excited.
I had a consultation first and then a hair cut, both the lady that did the consult and the stylist were very friendly and I got along with them very well. The make up lady was ultra friendly and showed me how to make my eyes look a lot bigger it was pretty miraculous really.
I stepped into the photography studio feeling very confident indeed and had an excellent photo shoot.
The pictures came out really well and you could tell how relaxed I felt by looking at them. I loved the whole experience and cant wait to go again.
have to say this is the best massage I have had - the only shame was the error over my booking. the date was booked ~ 7 months in advance for a sea salt exfoliation, massage and hot stones.
on arrival i was informed that they were running late - which turned out to be a 1 hour delay. i was then given a consultation on microdermabrasion - so a complete error in the booking.
once this was rectified though the treatment was very good and offered discounts on future bookings as compensation
What an atmosphere!!!
I absolutely LOVED this place!!! I was greeted by friendly staff (who were all gorgeous!) funky house music and lavish decor. Definately a refreshing change from your normal run of the mill beauty salon! It was a girls heaven! I was booked in for a package which I received nails, spraytan and lashes and the price i payed was so reasonable i thought it was too good to be true. However it wasn't!! My nails were beautiful, unique and customised to requirements i had asked for. What's more, the girls didn't use stencils or other short cuts, everything was done free hand....very impressive! The tan was Australian Gold and I loved the deep rich colour. There was so many lashes to choose from also. I was planning a night out that day and the visit really set me up for the night ahead. In fact, I felt like my night out had started that day! I would recommend anyone to go to Pout. It definately appeals to a young trendsetting crowd. The only downside was that I had to wait about 20 mins as it was sooo busy but I didn't mind as there was a real weeekend buzz about the place which I have never encountered before in a salon. I realised it was that busy for a reason!!! Well done girls, thank you for a lovely day. x
Really Great range of beauty treatments, great advice. Location excellent, and staff were really helpful - nothing too much trouble. Salon was really fresh and stylish. I will definately recommend and use again! Thanks!
The Therapist was very friendly and it was great expreince. It was value for money and hoping to go back there soon. the facial was very good and helpt my skin and I felt so relaxed.
The full body massage is so recommended. I had been suffering with a painful frozen shoulder for several months which was making my life miserable. Also my doctor gave no treatment for this!! In one session Ha managed to release a solid crystal and my shoulder started to become free.
The manicure & pedicure are great & the products used are very good and the varnish lasts for a long period.
Always a warm welcome in a very relaxing salon.
Truly recommended.
I have been going to Ha'nds on Beauty for over a year for wonderful oxygen facials, manicures and pedicures. Ha, the owner, is very friendly, but professional too, and she uses excellent products. She always fits me in and I would definitely recommend the salon.
Wonderful staff who really know their stuff - really answered all of my questions with regards to skincare and rejuvination. The salon is very glamorous looking, but dont be afriad, staff are lovely!
Ha - who runs the salon - is the best beauty therapist I have ever visited. She is professional, conscientious and very skilled. I have been going regularly ever since she set up her salon (and before then when she worked for someone else) to have oxygen facials and manicures. Cannot recommend her highly enough.
I would highly reccomend this fantastic place. Not only is it relaxing with any treatments this is combined with exceptional professional and friendly/welcoming staff. The rooms are so relaxing they have to push you up as you just sink in and totally relax.
Bought this package for my sister Joanne who lives local and she really enjoyed it. She thought the salon was lovely and the therapist was very friendly and for someone who doesnt ordinarily do beuaty treatments she loved it ans said she would definelty visit again.Joanne has spray tan, eyelash tint and minx nails and she loves loves loves it!
Saying that all my experience at the Mollobeauty Clinic was beyond my wildest expectations it might be sounding excessive...But It Was!!!
Politeness, professionality, caring and best price vs results value are all a nomality there and once you know dr.Mollo you don't want to let anybody else touching you EVER.
Thank you.
I had a totally marvelous time with my sister having a makeover and photographic afternoon at New ID, it was a right laugh, I think for a start we were by far the oldest people there, we are both in our late forties, but we didn’t care, we are the kinda chicks that don’t let our age get in the way of anything, never have and I don’t suppose we ever will!
We had no real reason for going to have a makeover its not like we gained or lost weight or fell out of some relationship or even had low self esteem issues, we just like doing things once in a while that are good fun and a little beyond the ordinary and this seemed like a really great thing to do, on top of that we managed to arrange the appointment so that it came on the same day as wedding party so we knew that as long as it worked out the way we had planned it we would make a grand entrance looking stunning and that is exactly the way that it turned out, one think I know for sure is that I look a million times better in professionally applied makeup than anything that I can do myself so in future when I am going out for a special occasion I am going to use the services of New ID just to get my makeup done.
As well as that I am going to continue to build up my collection of New ID cosmetics which are great and better than a very well known more expensive brand that I using, I would have brought the full collection there and then but I chose to spend every last penny on the totally gorgeous and amazing pictures.
I have never had such a crack as I had with my friend having our pictures taken, I don’t know how the photographer did not want to tell us to leave to be honest we are a bit loud at the best of times but you know what he really held it together for us and gave us some totally awesome shots.
We love New ID
Dreamsday Spa gives you a fantastic experience!
You are completely pampered from when you walk into the door.
The staff are warm and friendly and i enjoy every visit there. I have tried, massage, facials and beauty treatments and love them all.
I would highly recommend a visit to Dreamsday for yourself or for a gift to loved ones.
Im sure you will not be disappointed.
Julie
Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great body treatments.
Manicure and pedicure best I had done in London.
Will highly recommend.
I visited Beautification for a brazilian wax as they advertise as being specialists at this. I have had numerous brazilian waxes before at other salons both with hot and warm wax. I have to say that this was the WORST wax I have ever experienced. The whole procedure was rushed and the couch was covered with a dirty sheet and dirty towel both with wax splashes on from previous clients! The wax ended up leaving the strip uneven and lots of hair even in large patches was left over the area. The result was so bad that I ended up going to a different salon to get it redone properly. Very poor!
Happy place. Happy people and good treatments booked. Quiet small but very clean. I will go back. See you soon !
It was great experience and very relaxing. I enjoyed my head shoulder massage which I was really looking forward.
Therapist is knowledgeable and guided and explained all about the massage so very helpful. Would go back again but depending on offer.

Monique was lovely; really friendly and knew her stuff.
Easy to reach location, although slightly unusual salon in large office building.
Massage particularly good. Facial good enough to eat!
Would definitely return for another treatment.
I went here to use the infrared sauna. I went for a course of 4 sessions, and although I didn't see much of a result (It's supposed to help you lose weight), I did find it very relaxing. The salon is lovely and clean and the ambiance overall is really tranquil. As I didn't receive a treatment from a therapist, I cannot recommend them, but they were really friendly and professional on every visit.
I have to hand it to the New ID crew they sure know how to give a cracking makeover I have been there twice now and both times it has been a complete riot, I love the place, and I really love having a makeover. I was really surprised the first time at just what kind of an ego trip you can go on, I mean who does not like looking at themselves in picture that have been caught just at the right angle and make you look totally gorgeous, we all do and there is no better feeling, well when you go to New ID you can have as many pictures as you like looking as good as you can look because they do a great makeover on you and they take fantastic professional pictures that you look your best in every one.
The great thing about New ID is they take the time to work out what is going to suit you before they do the makeover, I think what they call the ‘welcome consultation’ is fantastic because it is quite normal to feel a bit nervous when you first get in there, especially if you have not had a makeover before, you are bound to but what this part of the experience does is calm you down, get you to focus on what sort of look you want and why you want it, it is great to make a change to how you look and when you are doing that with professionals then you know you are going to get the right change that can only make a positive impact on your life.
New ID don’t just tell you what they are going to do, the find out about you, find out what you do where you go how you work etc so the hair for example is going to work for you all the time not just when you are out at night but when you are at work and things like that.
The quality of all of it is really good and you get a lot of team support as you make your transition as well. New ID can change your life girls so go get it!
Sorry I can not not mention that its waste not waist of money! I cant believe that it would take three hours to put on makeup, come on, you could have plastic surgery in that amount of time!
I am sorry that you had a bad time, I had the total opposite, I was late getting to my appointment and there was no drama with that what so ever, as planned I got the consultation on arrival, where the look that was going to be created was decided.
Then I was promptly taken over and introduced to my stylist who created a very nice hair style for me, it was not one that I have had before but suited me and I was very happy with it.
I was then given a short break to enjoy a glass of wine before being taken down to makeup where I had a very nice session with a young but enthusiastic makeup artist who did an excellent job of my makeup and made me look better than I felt I had looked in years, she chose some colours and techniques that I have never used and they really made a marked difference to my appearance, I was really very happy.
I had a short break before I went into the studio for the photographs, no more than ten minutes, a group of four had just come out and you could tell by the look on their faces how much fun it was, I immediately hit it off with the photographer who took some stunning pictures that I was really happy with and brought way more of than I ever had any intention of.
I think New ID are great and a makeover is a wonderful boost to your moral anybody that feels like they might need a bit of a lift would be well advised to try this experience, I certainly came away feeling very confident and also very happy that I had learned something about makeup that I could use in the future.
I highly recommend this experience.
What a waist of money, what a ripoff. Myself and 6 friends where all booked in for our photo shoot by a street gang. When we got to the salon/ studio we was told we could not have a shoot as a group. So after 15 mins of discussion we was then told we was to late for our hair cuts (we was on time for our cuts) 2 hours later we had our cuts but was ready for make up. Make up took a extra 3 hours, this took 5 hours as only one stylist and one make up artist. 5 hours late we had a photo shoot but in 2 groups as was told we could not have as one session. The photographer that we had was the same for both shoots but funny we could not save time and do it as one. We then was waiting another 30mins to watch our images on a big screen only to watch them on a slow, small pc. In first viewing we went in as a group of 3 and offered all images on CD for £2,500 pounds Only. We all said no "it's a joke". We took our free image and left waiting for our other friends also in a viewing. When our friends came out all holding a cd. I ask how the viewing went all said great got a full cd for £50.00 each. Big big difference £150 to our £2,500. When asked to speak to the manager about massive price difference she said pends on the deal for the day, funny we all came the same day. I was then informed by a passing staff member all depends on who needed to hit target and who didn't.
I will never ever return to new id ever and feel sorry for anyone who does go.
I have been visiting Pure Beauty for the past few years and can honestly say that Inna is THE most amazing therapist I have ever come across. Every treatment I have had from her (mani/pedi/facial/massage/Novueau eyelashes) have been exceptional and I have recommended her to all my friends and they all rave about her.
The owner of the salon, Hillary, always makes you feel welcome and I look forward to spending a few hours there - my time out from the world - and coming out looking beautiful!
I visited the Dermal Lounge with two of my friends for a pamper day. We had massages and manicures and we loved the staff and the spa. Will return!
Me and my two mates had a brilliant time at New ID. We are all mad, all in our 40’s and turned up with our cellulite, dodgy hair do’s, faces aged with years of parting and smoking and we all wanted to have a good crack and see if they could make us look any better which we all doubted but the challenge was set.
I think that we managed to make a rather large dent in the New ID Bucks Fizz reserve but they didn’t seem to mind!
We had a really good laugh with the staff who took on the challenge of turning us into super models pretty seriously and I have to be honest, they really did not do a bad job at all, in fact they did a way better job than any of us could have expected.
We are all pretty Tom boyish to be honest but for the occasion we all took along our most feminine dress to give the New ID team at least something to work on and I have to say that the hair dressers did a wonderful job on all of our hair, we all have what I would call medium length hair that we all tend to wear tied back because we cant be bothered to do anything with it, all three of us had our pictures taken with our hair down and all of our cuts were a lot softer giving more of a feeling of femininity.
We were not up for any mad or dramatic makeup, we asked them to go for a natural look and to be fair to them they had us all looking and awful lot younger, it was really clever how they did it and we have been practicing off the face chart they gave us on the day that shows what goes where, I think we are actually even getting the hang of it a bit, we brought quite a lot of the makeup because it was easier than trying to find a substitute and the New ID stuff is not even that expensive.
We had a blast having our photos taken, they got us into all sorts of poses and it was great fun, I don’t think any of us really wanted it to end!
We had a private viewing session and we were all god smaked how good we all looked and we all brought quite a few pictures..
This is a great way to spend half a day with your mates and it’s a great way to feminine up a bit, New ID took on the challenge and good for us they won!
The venue was very hard to find as it wasn't stated that it was inside Superdrug. The therapist was very nice and knowledgeable and the treatment was expertly carried out. I still have two sessions to go. The results were very noticeable and a procedure I would do again
I have never really understood why people want to go and have a makeover, but when after years of trying I reached my goal weight having shed over five and a half stone, my friend suggested that I treat myself to one and I thought well why not, it was as good a suggestion as any and I wanted to do something to congratulate myself on finally getting there.
I booked for the makeover and then we went shopping, size ten all round, I have never felt better, I got three new outfits for the shoot and a few days later we rocked up at the salon.
I was a bit nervous to start with but the welcome consult sorts that out, it was all very reassuring, as was the rather large glass of bucks fizz that was in my hands moments after I got there!
So we made a plan, the very long hair was going to be not quite so long and have some shape put into it and the bare face was going to be transformed into a glamorous evening look with lots of sparkle, a look that I have always wanted and tried to achieve and failed on more than one occasion.
The stylists was lovely and only cut off what she had to to get the style and no more, I cant abide scissor happy types! Hair looked fantastic I am really pleased with it and I can do so much more with it now.
Makeup, well boy was that an eye opener, literally, I got some really good advice on how to make it look really good and keep it looking really good all evening. Then it was PHOTO time, I thought I would be nervous but with my new hair, new makeup and new figure I was ready to rock and roll and boy did I love it.
The pictures were totally awesome, loved them all to bits but could only get four because they are pretty pricey
I had a great time and now totally understand why people have a makeover!
This is one of the top salons on Long Island and I must say that this is the best salon on Long Island. Before Rodolfo Valentin Long Island Beauty Center, I was forced to travel long distances to get decent hair services or spa services. Also I was not able to find everything in one place. I was going for the haircut to one salon, for the hair color to another and for hair extensions I was traveling more than two hours to New York City!. Now I have everything in one place, the best of the best ever!. The great hair infusions, the only hair extensions I will use forever, no hair damage, no pulling, no pain, just safe hair extensions, the pleasure to have my hair color done by the best hair colorists on Long Island. About haircuts, I have to wait for Saturday’s, the only day that the celebrity hair stylist Rodolfo Valentin is there for the best haircut that I don’t need anything else than wash my hair and ready to go…Despite that Rodolfo Valentin is a celebrity and probably the top hair stylist in America, he is very low key, pleasant person to be, fun and chic. Also I will highly recommend this best salon on Long Island for their fabulous spa, located in a separate floor with a waterfall, spacious elegant rooms, Swiss showers, roman rains, Vichy showers, relaxing room with reclining couches, also the best skin care products are used in their spa services like massages, facials. Just the best! I must say that I become addicted to this place.
I and a friend visited Azorez after being recommended by a friend, both me and my friend found the whole experience very relaxing alOng with very friendly, funny, enthusiastic staff who made the day very enjoyable, my beauty treatments were excellent and I was overly impressed with both beauty treatments and hair treatments, I am very pleased with my hair and found that my stylist was very friendly and listened to what I wanted therefore I came out of the salon feeling very very impressed, I shall be returning in the future and will definitely be recommending to all my friends and family x
For the last 6 months I have regularly been visitng Suprina's salon and can honestly say that I have never visited such a friendly and professional salon. The staff are trustworthy, knowledgeable and capable. From the first time I visited with a group-on voucher for a garraruffa fish pedicure and leg massage I was treated excepionally well and put immediately at ease. Suprinas offer monthly deals to their regular clients and these represent fabulous value and include packages like a massage, facial and mini mani or pedi for £35. I have also had my hair cut by Cindi their stylist who was able to create a really nice blow waved look out of my mop (she is a miracle worker). All in all a eally pleasant experience each and evry time I have been. Would reccomend to anyone looking for a friendly, professional and reliable salon.
I am very happy to give New ID my personal recommendation. I have not used them for a full makeover experience, how ever I have used them for a ‘Beauty on the Go’ experience when I was going out for a very special date and I wanted to look my best.
The experience was very reasonably priced, thirty give pounds and this still included free drinks and you could have Bucks Fizz as well if you liked, I was quite surprised at that! The deal also includes the initial welcome and consultation where you basically fill in a few forms and tell them what you want them to do to you and what you do and do not want to look like! I actually didn’t care that much what I looked like as long as I looked stunning, what kind of stunning didn’t bother me!
I certainly got the wow factor at New ID, they made me look totally stunning
I got so many comments and so many offers I have now I decided to book in for a make up lesson so I can look and feel that good all the time, I have never been noticed even one tenth as much as I did that night, I am surprised my head managed to make it out of the door of my local where I went before I went out for a very special dinner with a very special person!
I think that looking your best is really important and once you know how to do your make up properly it doesn’t even take that long to do it, I got some great makeup from New ID and some great advice on making the best of my features and I am really looking forward to learning even more at my make up lesson next month!
I booked directly via their website but I think there are other place online were you can get vouchers and sometimes they are cheaper than going direct, having said that there is also a last minute section on the New iD website as well that has some really cut price deals!
The reason I have taken time out to write this review is because when you have received excellent service, it is important to say.
I read some of other reviews and I have to say, yes this clinic is a little tucked away, but if you are anything like me, I was glad.
I don't particularly like having a beauty treatment and walking out into the high street, it is rather cute to have a treatment in a private environment.
When you walk into the clinic, it is lovely. Beautifully fragrant with that lovely smell of lemongrass.
I can see why the clinic and the main consultants within the clinic have received marvellous reviews from hello magazine, vogue, hapers bizzare.
I had an exquisite facial and massage by Lorraine Downie "fantastic", eyelashes and HD Brows, and I can honestly say that I have not had better anywhere in the world.
So take a trip if you love beauty treatments, it will be money well spent.

I can definetly recommed the New ID makeover and photographs because I have had a really good makeover myself that I really enjoyed and would do again, my sister had had one and she had a great time as well and she has some really nice pictures that are fantastic, my aunt has had one as well, she got her pictures on a CD and they were totally fantastic, I don’t have the sort of money that you would need to buy all of the images on the CD but the ones I do have are great and I love the frames that I had my pictures put in as well, it was very hard to choose the picture and it was hard to choose the frames as well because they are all really nice and there are quite a few different styles to choose from but in the end I am sure I got the right ones because my pictures look totally amazing.
I have to be honest I had no idea that I could look that good in pictures, I have never really rated myself as a good looking sort but boy in those pictures you could be mistaken for thinking that I am a model and who knew that was going to happen. I think clever make up is just that it is really clever and even people who are not great to look at can be great to look at if they know how to put the makeup on the way that the professionals do it, it’s a wonderful talent to be able to do that and I think that since I have been to New ID I have been doing my makeup a lot better and more than that it has made a big difference to how I feel about myself in general so I am very happy that I went and even though I could not afford to buy all of the pictures that I would have liked to have had really I am very happy with the ones that I have got and I would be more than happy to use the New ID again.
Me and my girlfriends used professional hair and make up stylist before a night out. We all looked glamorous, really a great idea if you want to spice up your night out. Plus we recieved great tips for hair & make up, I can use everyday. // Teresa
Considering I did not pay the original amount (bought on a wahanda deal), I think it was excellent. Especially when the salon is in Knightsbridge as well. The facial was enjoyable and the back massage was also good. High recommand!!
I have some superb photographs from New ID from when I went there for my makeover photo shoot. I chose seven pictures that included portraits and some really creative shots that were achieved using the most innovative sets
On arrival at the studio I took part in a professional consultation before having my hair done where I got some wonderful tips and advice on how style and take care of my hair .
The hair dressing was follows by make up which again, like the hair, was really useful because the lady took the time to explain to me what she was doing.
After the make up session I had the finishing touches put to my hair before stepping out in front of the camera which was such a wonderful experience.
It was very hard to choose the ones that I wanted because all of the pictures were great and all had something unique about them, I would loved to have had all of them but being on a bit of a budget that was not going to be possible! I did however managed to buy four, I also got one free print that came with the package I had chosen.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with New ID and I am very proud of the pictures and how great they made me feel while I was having them taken. All of the staff were very courteous and made me feel very welcome.
I had been a little apprehensive about the actual shoot but I need not have been, the photographer and his assistants were very well versed in the more nervous client and made me feel immediately comfortable as they easily lead me through the different poses that by the end almost seemed to come naturally too me.
I am very glad that I decided to get a make over and I am very happy that I chose New ID
I also want to sing the praises of the New ID team who gave me and my daughter the makeover to end all makeovers but both of us felt that we were in really good hands and embraced both the experience and the new looks that we were given.
Although it was not part of our package we paid extra for a full head of highlights and we are both really happy with the results.
The Salon is a very cheerful place, there is lots going on and it’s a very exciting place to be, everybody that was there seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the experience as we were.
We loved having our hair and makeup done by the professionals it was a real treat and I would be amazed if anybody out there did not get as much out of it as we did, it was tremendous and we both looked like we would not look out of place on the front cover of a magazine afterwards, it really was that good, it may sound corny but the transformation was really quite unbelievable.
We both loved the sort of anticipation of going the whole hog and for us it paid off, I think part of the reason that the makeovers were so successful is that at the beginning of the makeover they give you time to tell them what you want, how you want to look, what sort of changes you want to make and also, pretty importantly the sort of change that you don’t want to see so they really know exactly how to make you look and feel the way that you want to look and feel.
Having the pictures done is really amazing, I felt great and I felt that the photographer made it very easy for me to get into the swing of things with his gentle nature and easy to follow instructions, I am sure he was 99% of the reason why the pictures turned out to be such a success, he made me feel so comfortable and you can clearly see that in the pictures.
The private viewing session was amazing and we have ordered ten shots that we just could not live without.
I absolutely loved my trip to Pure Beauty. I visited to try out their BeauBronz spray tan and was throughly impressed.
The salon itself is beautifully presented, with gorgeous wallpaper and clean treatment rooms. My therapist was delightful- really chatty and friendly. I felt completely at ease, even though I was effectively being spray painted in my underwear.
the treatment itself was fantastic. Instead of the usual spray-and-leave tanning process I was exfoliated, then spray tanned and then a setting spray was applied to ensure I dried within minutes and left without a smudge. The tan has developed into a lovely golden 'glow' without a hint of orange and it dosn't smell at *all* like chemicals/biscuits/chicken flavoured crisps (all of which i have encountered previously).
The tan comes in three shades so you can pick your 'depth' of colour. I went for the lightest 'English rose' tone as i'm naturally pretty much see through.
Overall I am one very happy (tanned) bunny and will be returning for the same treatment again before a big event I have coming up in August.
A rude and abrasive manageress. She thinks she knows it all but she doesn't. Being telephoned to confirm my appointment was not appreciated. Are they that desperate for clients ffs? Outside of salon leaves a lot to be desired as well.
Adore Aroma and love bringing friends here and parking ourselves in the pools and napping rooms for a few hours, usually before a girls dinner out. The Korean scrubs are incredible, a great value, and the hair washing and cucumber face treatments leave me looking and feeling great (not to mention, relaxed).
Plus, parking is easy, and they validate!
I would like to higly recommend Silky Smooth saloon very friendly and nice staff, not far from Ealing Braodaway station. I am very happy about service which I received .I already recommend to my friend and she will defintely go there.I am sure tthat if you will go silky smooth you won't be disappointed.
Great bunch they accommodated me looked after my children while i had beauty treatment etc absolutly cool find. got recommended by a friend.
This clinic is really tucked away and I must say first impressions, "not sure".
But once you go inside, you are greeted by amazing smells and staff.
I had two therapist June and Lorraine.
Both excellent, and I have travelled the world and know.
Classy little clinic. Do not be put off by the facade.
I have already booked to go back.
Highly recommended.
the therapist didn' know the product very good. I asked for different positions and she told me to look on the poster. But the product is good and the place is nice. Easy to get there.
Friendly staff
This was an excellent offer which provided a good customer experience at a superb venue. I would thoroughly recommend the Sheffield Hilton LivingWell. I had bought an additional one as a gift for my mum so was anxious that it should be a good experience for her, but I needn't have worried as we were both well looked after. Our expectations for this were exceeded.
Emily was incredibly pleasant and polite.
Fantastic treatments I felt great when I left.
I will recommend her to my friends and I've booked
To go again! Great parking facility's near by.....

I have had two experiences with New ID, for starters I got a Make-up lesson voucher of my Mum as a birthday present, I have always wanted to be a make- up artist, it is a dream I don’t think will ever get fulfilled but at least by having a lesson I knew that I would be able to make my make-up look professional even if I would not get to do it for somebody else. The make-lesson was only twenty two quid, I got it off the New ID website direct and it was very easy to get, then you just phone up and make the appointment. When you get to the studio you get a registration form to fill in and they give you a hot drink. Then you get presented with your free shimmer box that comes with the package and then you go off and have a lesson with the Professional make-up artist, mine was really nice, she was very friendly and did a very good job of explaining exactly what she was doing. She stated off telling me about removing the make-up and how to take care of your skin, we talked about working out what your skin type is and working out your skins needs. Then we talked about the difference in the look that you might want to achieve between something that would be suitable for the daytime an then onto full night glamour, it was really exciting and it was also very fascinating and there is so much more to it than meets the eye.
She created a really good look for me and I was very impressed with how it all came together, we then put it all down on a chart so I could refer to it when I was doing the make-up myself. You can ask as many questions as you like, there seemed to be no rush and I found my make-up professional to be very approachable.
So after that experience I had to have the full makeover, I really wanted some pictures of me looking that good so booked for a fashion photoshoot and I went back yesterday, I got my makeup done again it as not the same girl but it was every bit as good and on top of that I got my hair styled, photos, another box, free print and free drinks the whole time was there and the cost of that was only three quid more.
The pictures were amazing and I recommend both the makeover and the make-up lesson to anybody
Luci Foremans in taunton- i went their for foil wraps on my nails, they are so funky! I have zebra print, glitter, gems they look amazing, perfect infact! Looking forward to having a new pattern each time i go :) Everyone comments on them! If you want individual nail designs luci foreman is the place to go!!
AMAZIINGGGG!!!!!!
Stepping Stones was hard to find at first even though I live close to Clapham Junction. The threading treatment I had was good and the therapist was professional and friendly. The ambiance was also nice, although I got the impression that this place focuses more on massages rather than beauty treatments.
It was my 21st birthday last month and my mum booked me a pamper day @ luci foreman!
It was amazing i had my hair coloured and re-styled by dana which i adore! I had a spray tan, my nails done and a pedicure by sasha! I looked completly transformed! Everyone was so lovely and welcoming, i had enless drinks, magazines, and even cakes and buscuits!! I couldnt have wished for a better day! Thankyou everyone it was PERFECT!!

I always get a bit nervous when trying out new hairdressers but soon learned that there was no need to be. I booked myself in for a colour, cut, blowdry and was extremely happy with the service. The young girl who washed my hair also gave me a lovely head massage - Bonus! My hairdresser was attentive and gave me exactly what I asked for, I was offered a drink and something to read while my colour was taking and the general atmosphere was relaxed. I also had an eyebrow and eyelash tint and the therapist was great.
In summary, the salon itself is very beautiful, the staff are genuinely nice and the price was reasonable. Would highly recommend this place!
It was a funny place to find but the treatment was very professional and the therapist was great. I had the contour warp so ended up looking like a Mummy. The results were OK and skin felt great. Just got a bit bored waiting for the mud to do its thing.
The massage was too hard for me. The Detox treatment was ok. There was no ambiance -rather dull. The staff were very pleasant but I will not be going back paying full price.
I went to this salon for a Jessica Geleration manicure and a Brazillian wax in May 2011.
When I looked on the map it seemed close to the city centre and the train station but was actualy a good 15 mins from the station, however, the staff helped me to find my way there and didn't seem to mind that I was a bit late (as I got lost).
The staff were lovely and very professional, the environment was pleasant (nice music which was very calming and lemon water) and my brazillian wax, although painful (brazillian wax virgin) was effective.
The manicure however was dissapointing, I have previously had a Nails Inc 3 week manicure and unfortunatly this did not measure up! The gel was applied thickly, ended up quite uneven with noticable gaps between the cuticles and gel. It began to peel off after just 1 day and I took the whole manicure off after 1 week as I could not bear to look at it any longer!
So I'd say yes to their waxing but maybe spend a bit more on a higher end manicure if you want it to last the full 3 weeks!
I PAID 3600EURO IN ADVANCE FOR A 2 WEEK HOLIDAY FOR MY SON AND MYSELF . THE NIGHT OF OUR DEPARTURE I WAS EMAILED THAT I COULD NOT COME. THE OWNER WAS ILL . I GOT NOTHING OF THE MONEY BACK . LATER I FOUND OUT THAT TROUGH YOGA PEOPLE IN IBIZA THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE KNOW AS CON-ARTISTS. THE OWNER , GABY HAMILTON OR GABY HASTINGS , WAS NEVER ILL .THEY CHEAT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME . BASICALLY THIS PLACE DOES NOT EXSIST , AT LEAST NOT FOR THE PURPOSE YOU MIGHT THINK IT WOULD BE . IT IS A SCAM !!!

Good treatment and the therapist a little nervous and not finish cleanly.
But overall it was above average and there could of had better ambience with music and warm.
many thanks
If you feel like a new look or a bit of a change of image then try a makeover, I did and it loved it. I found the experience lifted my spirits and got me kick started back into making an effort to look good.
I got a voucher for New ID and went to their Oxford Circus Branch. I went in the week to avoid any weekend rush as I had read a few reviews that mentioned the place gets kinda busy. I arrived at 11-30 and found all of the staff to be really friendly and professional.
I was over the moon with my hair cut, I am a bit of hard one to please when it comes to my hair and I find it really hard to get it cut just the way I like it and for once I got exactly what I wanted I can definitely recommend the hair salon!.
Make up was excellent and the photo session was great fun, I am not exactly shy anyway but I do go a bit shy in front of a camera and I really am not very photogenic, well I thought I wasn’t but have to say I might have been proved wrong here! What great fun, the photographer really put me at ease and I loved every minute of it.
I chose to go for the CD option as photos can fade and if you have the CD you can print them off when you want them. I am happy to report that in my experience New ID is an excellent company and summary then I had an excellent experience. I highly recommend New ID. I can’t speak for their other branches but Oxford Circus certainly has its act together. It’s a nice studio; it’s clean and well looked after. The staff are all friendly and polite and definitely not pushy. The cosmetics are great the photo session is great fun, the photos are high quality and well worth the money. It is well documented that the photographs are expensive but like most things in life you get what you pay for, I was very impressed with both the quality and the content of the pictures and personally think they were worth the money.
I had a manicure, pedicure and steam facial. It was excellent value and the steam facial was really deep - even my husband commented on the clearness of my skin !
I would recommend this salon and I will be going back for another facial later in the year !
Ah I think New ID is the only place to have a makeover or a hair cut or a makeup lesson for that matter.
I found them a few years ago after my sister and her mate went there and had a makeover, she had such amazing pictures done, at the time I didn’t have the money to have a makeover, well I did but not enough to buy the pictures so I went there just to have a makeup lesson and it was really amazing, learnt so much that day and it has made a huge difference to how I feel about myself, when you know you look good its really hard not to feel good so I was really glad that I went. The other great thing is that gifting a makeup lesson is a really cool thing to do as well and if you go in a group it is even more fun, clearly you have to know the person quite well before you give that kind of gift, it could be taken the wrong way! LOL
Anyway while I was there I remember thinking what a great job they were doing on everybody’s hair so when I was next ready for a hair cut I thought that I would give them a go and again they did the most amazing job of my hair, I have not had my hair done anywhere else since then either.
I was so determined to have a makeover with New ID I got all of my friends and family to give me money for birthday and Christmas that I saved up in a special account just for that purpose and last month I finally got to have my makeover it was the most wonderful experience ever, I think it was made even more special by the fact that it took such a long time coming they say the best things are those that are worth waiting for and this was great. I felt like a beauty queen and the pictures came out amazing, the staff were really excited for me because they knew that I had waited ages for my big moment to arrive, it was great, we had a lot of fun and there was champagne and lights and cameras it for me it was a dream come true. If you can afford to have a makeover then believe me its worth every penny!
My friend and I did a makeover with New ID while we were on holiday in London for a month, we were travelling around Europe. Our friends had won a makeover in a competition and sent us some of the shots they had taken so really that is the only reason we went for it, we were like so determined to outdo them. we had no idea who was a good company to go and get a makeover with so we just trawled the net until we found one that we liked and New ID did it for us.
We had such a totally awesome time with New ID the staff in that place are so into what they do and they do a totally amazing job and they were really really friendly. We got lots of great advice about London and where to go shopping and where to party, the girls in there treated us like long lost friends it was so great and of course they did the most amazing job of our makevoers we just totally loved what they did. I got the most amazing hair cut from a totally cool gay guy that was just such great fun, he never stopped talking the whole time that he was cutting my hair I just loved him and his energy and his creativity was like so totally great, he gave my hair a super stylish sculptured cut that is totally the best hair style I have ever had, Bethany got her hair done in a much more girlie way and went for long waves, it was mega feminine and she looked well hot!
We both were totally psyched over our makeup, wow, they so know what they are doing in there, I have never looked so good and I can honesty say that it was super cool, Beth looked smoking and I couldn’t take my eyes off her, I have never heard of the New ID brand of cosmetics before but they are wild!
So we strutted our funky stuff in front of the camera and the photographer did his thing and before we knew it we were looking at some pictures of some seriously hot babes and as we totally could not carry around prints we brought the CD and blasted our chicks back home out of the competition! Go New ID they ROCK!
went to thoresby with my sister in law when we had such bad snow. wow the staff they were clearing it all away for the customers to arrive. those two men who helped my sister in law with her case.want a medal. and on going home they made sure we got to our car without an accident of falling on the bad ice. they had cleared the car park for residents, no one could have done a better job in those weather conditions.
the spa was great. a bit expensive and since we have been it has changed to a world spa and become more expensive. we thought it could be cheaper and the bar drinks are so expensive. the meals in the special restaurant we went in was lovely and a reasonable add on price. the standard meal place is great with a great choice. wish we could afford to go again but even the deals are expensive.
I brought myself a makeover treat with New ID Studios, I got the deluxe experience and I brought my friend a Mum to be voucher to celebrate her growing bump! We were both really looking forward to the day and finally it arrived.
When we arrived we given a warm welcome, we were told that drinks were free of charge throughout the day and then given a info card asking about style of make up, hair and photo styles you would like, we had chance to have a chat with one of the salon staff and make sure we were going to get the looks that we wanted.
We both stared off having our hair done, they did a great job on both of us, it had been years since I had a decent hair cut so I was particularly happy with my cut. Tara always has immaculate hair so the difference on her was not as marked but it still looked jolly nice.
Once our hair was washed and cut and dried and styled we went off to get our makeup done and that was fabulous too, Tara has had quite a ruddy face since she got pregnant and they did a great job of toning that down so she looked radiant rather than having a hot flush, we were both very impressed with our makeup and both felt very beautiful.
We had a really nice time having our photos done, I went first and then we had a couple of shots together and then Tara had hers done, we both felt really good in tht shoot, then it was just a case of waiting for the pictures to be developed and that took about half an hour which gave me time for a bucks fizz and Tara another cup of tea because she cant drink LOL
Once the pictures were ready we went into the viewing room and viewed each others images, the sales rep was extremely helpful once she showed us the pictures she came in with the contact sheets and we were given plenty of time to go through them and decide which ones that we wanted, it was all very unhurried and I didn’t find anything too much in the way of hard sales so it rounded off what was from start to finish a really great experience.
Very easy to book appointment. Spa not in the centre of brum but easy to find anyway, just a short train away. the thearapist was very nice and the treatment was perfect. Would definately go back agin.
Me and my one of my best friends went to the New ID studio in Manchester, we arrived early and they greeted us with a drink and a smile and then after they had shown us to a very comfortable seat in the very nice and trendy salon they politely asked to fill out a questionnaire incase we had changed our style ideas. The make up/hair stylist then went through what we had both had chosen and made sure it was okay at every opportunity she could.
We were both really happy with our choices but it was nice for us to have them keep making sure and gave us a lot of confidence in our decision to have a makeover and to have chosen New ID.
We both had our hair washed, it was lovely and included a head massage. We had our hair trimmed, well for me it was really just taking the dead end off, we had both elected to have our hair put up so we didn’t really want to get involved in a new style, they did a really nice job for both of us.
We had our makeup done after that, it was really good fun, we got on really well with the makeup ladies who were great and gave us tons of special tricks to use on our makeup, both looked fantastic and couldn’t stop staring at each other!
Then we took about 6 outfits each but only could have a maximum of 3, so we talked through the different sets with the photographer who was fantastic at giving us posing styles and when to smile or not for about an hour. Viewing the photos was really good because they leave you to view them in privacy. However the photo prices were ridiculous, we sort of knew that they were going to be expensive but we honestly thought that we could haggle them down, they were not going to let us, so we just brought what we could it was really hard to choose which ones but we got there in the end. When the pictures turned up they were so amazing we both agreed that actually it was well worth the cost and we would not change a thing!
The beauty shop was difficult to find as it was situated at the back of a furniture shop! The therapist was nice but brisk.
The eyelashes started to come off two days after they were attached even though I adhered to the instructions. Four weeks later they were all off so I wasn't overly impressed.
I went and got a makeover after a I got a voucher for New ID off our mum she has been on at me for ages to get a nice picture of me taken, the rest of the family all have and I am the only one she don’t have a proper picture of on her wall!
I was a bit scared to go in when I got to New ID because I never done nothing like this before, its not me, but I went in anyway and they were dead nice and sat me down and gev me a drink and then started to ask us what I wanted to look like!
I had no idea what I wanted to look like, only thing I wanted was to keep Mum happy and look a bit better than I did when I went in so I left it up to them really. They did a good job.
the hair lady did a very nice job of my hair, she took it a lot shorter than I would have thought to have done but I liked it after. I was never going to mind anyway because it grows back. I had a bit of a wait for the makeup woman so I had another drink and had a look at the before and after books, they were really good and it got me quiet excited about having my makeup don.
Having the make up put on was wicked. I was really fascinated by it, never had it done professional before and I looked like something off a magazine, never felt so good looking before in my life. I dunno how they do it or how different make up can make such a difference but it does big time.
I got a bit jittery after the makeup because I knew that next up was going to be the photos, I think the girl could see that I was a bit shaky about it and she gave me another drink, I felt quite tipsy after it so then I didn’t have any nerves about it and once you re in there they make you feel like you are doing something normal like you would do everyday so you don’t feel a bit odd about it.
The prices are a bit shocking and you cant afford to buy very many of the pictures if you are a normal person on a normal wage but the ones I got were really nice and I was happy with what they charged for them really because they are well wroth it.
I would go again and think New ID are a very good company
I had a facial at the Elegant Studio and was very pleased with my therapist who I found skilled and polite. The treatment room was clean and there was some soothing music playing which helped me switch off completely as I arrived after work. I particularly liked the fact that I could visit the salon at 7pm.
All in all, it was a relaxing experience and would go back again to try some other treatments too.
the best salon that i have found for long time.. i have been to many salons and this one has really exceeded my expectations. the staff are more than friendly and really go out of their way to accomodate you.. cant wait for my next appointment. so will be booking asap.

Have been going to Ecobel since it opened and to most of Le yen Tran's shops over many years. There is NOTHIN like a facial by Le Yen. It is an experience to be savoured. Have been all around the country and have had many facials at fine salons, but I always come back to Ecobel. Sheer heaven.
Where should I start: My friends and I visited this lovely W1 clinic.
On first glances from the outside, it does look as though it needs some tlc.
But once inside, you find yourself in a really quite surprising environment.
The staff are lovely. I met Lorraine, Sian and Janette and Elaine and they were really friendly, but most importantly excellent at their work.
I had a facial with Lorraine, and I have travelled the world extensively and have not had a better facial. Thorough, sensitive and just simply, knows her stuff. I then went on to have my eyelashes done. I have never had them done before and in a nutshell, I have to say they were fantastic. Natural looking, comfortable and the treatment I was dreading, but Janette was really good and I didn't feel a thing.
My good friend Angela had her eyebrows semi-permanent make-up. Sometimes this can be painful and if the therapist is not great, you can come out with a very costly mistake. Has it happened, Therapist Sian did a wonderful job.
All in all, really good job. I have been back since this treatment and pretty much I am hooked.
Would highly recommend!!
Just had to write this review.
I had my eyelashes and eyebrow done today at Wyndham Clinic, my friend had a facial.
I walked into a really special environment. Lovely smells and warm environment.
The staff were absolutely gorgeous. Friendly, accomodating and professional.
I have to say I feel a million dollars and cannot wait to go back.
Thank you
Very satisfied customer xx
The slaon was very clean and smart. The staff were really friendly. I asked if I could swap the toe nail polish for a finger nail polish and they did not hesitiate. Will definitely visit again soon.
poor quality of services, rude staff, dirty tools and equipment, lack of music and no chance to relax
I don't understand how place like this can exist, looks ok from outside and this is first and last ok impression of this place, :( never again
Dear All,
I would like to share my experience with B&K Spa.
I am a very sporty person who likes to swim, going to gym regularly but I could not able to spot getting cellulite as because of aging and stress. I was looking for solutions to get rid off it.
I accidently found B&K Spa when I was reading about endermologie lpg treatments online and I gave them a call. Nathalie was very kind and helpful who answered the phone. She made me feel so comfortable and trusted that I decided to go for a session to try. Then I met Julia who is Manager and also wonderful person. Everybody is great over there. The owner Ina is very nice and attentive herself as well. They have great team and offer wonderful service to their clients. You just feel at home and enjoy your treatments.
I am very fussy person when it comes to someone to touch my body and face. But, I met my Lovely Beautiful therapist Helena who is hands like magic and she has incredible positive energy.
I felt so great even after my first session and I bought 20-session package. She also introduced me endermologie lpg treatments for the face as well. I got another 20-session package for face as well and I am keep extending my treatments since last December. I have complete trust to Helena who has great knowledge about her work and she is very committed to her job. You could also see it from herself that she applies the thing to herself as well. You feel more comfortable to do it when you see the results on her. I am going to also try Medik8 Dermoroller ( Titanium Skin Needling) tomorrow for my face and neck as I was amazed when I saw the results on Helena when she tried on herself. I will also let you know the results of it after trying.
I would like to tell you something about endermologie which it works like magic. My body and face feels completely different than the day I had been started. My skin is tighter, smoother and much nicer. I feel that the blood is circulating in my whole body and it feels much healthier and lighter. I never felt better. It is like total workout but in very intense way. My face looks much younger and everybody says that I look much younger and nicer. Even my depression is gone as it feels so well and my body appreciates that I am looking after it.
Even my spider veins had been disappeared. My cellulite is gone and my legs are much slimmer and also my arms. I even have 6-pack in my stomach as well. It is also great help to keep your discipline for eating healthy and life style.
I could offer anyone from my bottom of my heart to go for it and try. I will be amazed with the results after trying and it will become like an addition that you will do it like having message every week even if you do not have any cellulite etc... I believe that machine should be in NHS and to be used for medical treatments as it has incredible results without any side affect like pills or surgery.
Ladies please please please...do something and try it for yourself!
Makeover with New ID? What can I say, just fantastic.
I went with my daughter, we were looking for something a bit different to do on a Saturday, we normally go shopping but as our birthdays are only one day apart and they happened to fall on the weekend we thought it would be a great idea to go and have a makeover.
We had a look at a few different companies that offered a similar kind of thing and we liked the look of New ID the best, even though the price and services seemed to be pretty similar and many of the different companies have branches in the same sort of areas there was something about New ID that did it for us so off we went.
We got in and told them that we were doing this as a joint birthday treat and the staff actually sang happy birthday to us! It was so sweet, I am really not sure how many glasses of cheers they hand out to people that are not having a birthday but they certainly seemed very happy to let us have as many as we wanted that day, so if you go and there is a restriction just tell them it is your birthday!
We both really enjoyed our makeover we both had a pretty clear idea of the kind of new look that we didn’t want but not so much of an idea about what we did want so we told them what not to do and left the rest up to them, that worked out perfectly for us because we both came out of hair and make up looking very beautiful to say the least!
Having our photos taken was excellent, we had such a good time we had great fun using the different props and different backgrounds to get some great pictures and we had also taken along a lot of different accessories as well to use so we would have a really wide variety of shots to choose from, actually in the end I think that worked a bit against us because the shots were all so different and so good it made it really ultra difficult to choose and being as we are we ended up spending a fortune but I think it was more than worth while.
We loved New and have nothing bad to say about the makeover, the staff or the experience
I have been to many Salons for treatments, but Salon 31 is the best in customer service. They are welcoming, and are generally pleased to see you. All the therapists have been highly trained to give absolute attention to the clients who walk through their door. It doesn't stop there, they are efficient, nothing is too much trouble, and they give excellent treatments. On leaving, you know that you can't wait to come back for some more pampering!!
Have recently had the Environ starter session,it was fantastic! Very in-depth analysis of my skin which proved 100% accurate. Have just started using the moisturising treatment and looking forward to purchasing the rest of the range. Nita also does the Environ facials so looking forward to those too!!! Waxing always done brilliantly at times to suit.
I was very surprised just how much you get for your money with a New ID makeover voucher. I hardly paid anything for the voucher and as I am a bit of a firm believer in you get what you pay for I really didn’t expect it to be very good at all and was looking out of the catch but for once in my life I didn’t find one and it really was just a really good deal.
I really thought that in terms of value for money the makeover photoshoot would turn out to be to a scam but it was not, and it included -
I got a consultation that was a lot more useful and in depth than I was expecting
I got my nails shaped and painted
I got a free goodie bag of make up samples
I got my hair washed, dried and styled
I got my make up done
Free drinks the whole time I was there, I could have got pretty drunk if I had accepted all the ones I was offered because it was Champagne or Bucks Fizz
I got a lesson in how to pose
I got a really long and really great photo session
I got a free print
And I got to choose the prints I wanted out of dozens of amazing photos.
I have to admit that the photos are not quite the same in terms of low cost as the makeover but they are however great quality as is the makeover.
There were great frames to choose from and photo album’s however I chose to just buy the prints as I already had spotted some frames in my local framers that would go really well in my flat.
I have always said that you get what you pay for but I can honestly say with New ID I got way more than I expected for what I paid and was really pleased with the whole deal.
I would be more than happy to recommend this experience to anybody that would like some professional pictures of themselves, either alone or with other members of their family. It’s a great boost to your ego when you see the prints and if you are anything like me you will come away with way more than you bargained for!
The staff was very accomodating. The rooms were very clean and just right for winding down after a stressful day. I had a sea weed wrap which was a new experience for me. I was made to feel comfortable whilst having the treatment. And the eyelash extension felt amazing. Will be going back for a refill.
The Therapist was very nice and professional. She has
I had a French manicure and a full body massage which were perfectly done! I really enjoyed my experience and I will definitely enjoyed to do it again. I will recommand it.
Yes makeovers are great aren’t they, I love them and wish I could afford one every week. I had mine last month and the pictures arrived today and they are even better than I remembered them to be.
I don’t know what it is about New ID but I walked out of there like my feet were not touching the ground.
I am trying to figure out what it is about this experience that just makes you feel so special. Is it being fussed over all day and being pampered? Is it the great atmosphere in the studio? Is it the amazing staff and how they make you feel so special every second that you are in there? Is it the amazing products they use on both your hair and your makeup? Is it the Bucks Fizz? Is it the photo session that makes you feel like you are a super model for a while? Or is it just the combination of all of it? I think it might be the amazing picture at the end, I mean who does not want to see themselves looking utterly fantastic in all of their best clothes?
I don’t think it matters what you look like, whether you are big or small you look amazing after New ID have worked their magic on you. I am considerably overweight but even I felt really sexy and I loved all of my pictures and it just goes to show for me that even bigger women can look glamorous and sexy and alive and stunning.
I am sick to death of the images we see in magazines and on TV of stick thin women that have no meat on their bones and then we are all expected to look like that. Even Catherine seems to be going for the anorexic look for her up and coming wedding, it is such a shame because you can be bigger and look and feel great about yourself, I know for a fact that not all men want women to be ironing board thin, you can have curves, big curves, curves are feminine and if there are bigger women out there struggling with their weight then believe me if you are not morbidly obese then stop trying to be not your natural weight and get yourself into New ID for a makeover because when you come out you will just feel happy being you and that is great.
I went to the olde barn hotel with my friend, the room was really nice. On the day we went the jacuzzi was out of use but we had a jacuzzi in our room so I didnt really mind. On the day we had a massage and a facial this was probably what ruined our time there as everything else was good. The beauty therapists were really unprofessional, while I was having my massage and my friend was having her facial they were both giggling to themselves and the therapist actually had to keep stopping the treatment as she trying not to laugh so much. It was really unprofessional and the worst massage that I had ever had, they were like two little teenagers that had just come out of beauty college and it seemed like they had skipped their classes on how to behave when they have clients. On a more positive note the personal training session was really good.
Upon driving upto Portland Hall Spa we were put off, due to the exterior looking run down. However, walking through the doors and things improved. The interior was calming and soothing. We started our treatments with a resual mud therapy, then a deep tissue back massage and finally a facial. Each treatment surpassed the previous one and we both left feeling totally relaxed and pampered.
Lovely relaxing massage, felt great afterwards, good value for money, would recomend it as a friendly alternative to busy spa's
Sussex beauty therapy did a pamper party for my sisters hen do. The therapists were really lovely and the treatments very relaxing. Great value for money too.will be booking another party for my own hen party. Thank you very much
Ive just finished a course of 6 IPL treatments at Kiyoshi spa and could not be happier with the results. The therapists are so professional and i genuinely look forward to every appointment at Kiyoshi. The products used for the beauty treatments are top of the range and i havent found them anywhere else in Manchester. Also the facial/hot stone massage i had was literally the best massage ive ever had in my life....
I couldn't have my treatment
I got ill and had to cancel and they didn't accept my cancellation................. 24 hrs cancellation policy......
terrible costumer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will never ever go to this place!!!
I agree, you cant beat a makeover for making you feel good.
I love having makeovers, my husband says that I am addicted to them, I only go every two years but I think it’s a nice treat and which woman does not enjoy some serious pampering when the mood takes her, I know I certainly do.
I always feel like a new woman once I have had a makeover and it gives me the incentive I need to keep making the best of myself.
Its easy to let yourself slide when you are busy with being a wife and a mother and working and sometimes I think its all you need to make a bit more effort.
I always use New ID, I found them online originally and loved the experience. I have recommended a lot of friends to New ID and not once have I had a bad report come back.
What I like about New ID is the friendliness of the staff and the way in which you don’t feel under a tremendous pressure to buy all of the pictures. The staff know me pretty well now and they also know that I only buy three or four pictures at a time and they have always treated me just as well as I have seen them treating people who are spending considerably more than I am. I think this is very important.
I have seen a few reviews that have made comments on how good the cosmetics are and I couldn’t agree more, I love New ID products, they last forever and you don’t even have to put that much on. I have never found a makeup range with more staying power so they work out to tremendously good value.
I have seen a few staff changes at New ID but a lot of the staff seem to have worked there for ever and that also gives me a lot of confidence because I like companies that treat their staff really well because happy staff make for happy customers.
I think us women need to have our egos boosted and as men these days seem to be so lax in doing that for us we need to take the bull by the horns and make sure that we are treating ourselves well and having a makeover is an excellent way of doing just that!
I highly recommend having a makeover and New ID studio.
I agree with you the New ID site says that makeover can work miracles, well I would like to amend that to they DO work miracles, or at least they did for me.
I have never considered myself attractive and have had pretty low self esteem all my life, mainly due to being the ugly duckling in a family full of gorgeous people and over the years the postman being my dad joke really started to get me down.
I suffered from bad skin for a long time but last year I got a dermatologist that sorted that out for me so things have been looking up.
After going on holiday and coming back with a pretty good tan I bumped into a guy that I had not seen for a long time and he said how much better I looked than he remembered and I thought right, this is the time when I have to make the most of what I have got.
My friend suggested New ID and I booked online and went along to see them.
I had a great consultation for my new look and I decided to not only have my hair cut and styled but to have some lowlights and highlights put in and really go for it.
I had kept up my tan by using sun beds and was already feeling better about myself but the new hair cut and colour made so much difference it was like I was looking at somebody else in the mirror, it was more than a miracle I couldn’t believe it.
I then had my makeup done and was even more amazed than I was after the hair, my eyes looked huge, my skin looked radiant and I looked and felt really pretty.
Having spent a lifetime hiding from the camera and cringing every time I did see myself in a picture it was the most liberating experience of my life actually wanting to be in a photograph let along a lot of them under lights in front of a professional photographer.
I was dreading seeing the pictures because I felt so good having them done and didn’t want the bubble to burst by seeing that I didn’t look that good on film but I looked even more amazing and feel like I was give a massive sack of confidence rather than a makeover.
I have never looked back from going to New ID and it totally changed my life!
Only one criticism .. if only i knew about cloud 9 years ago.. This salon has benn the best experience ever, the staff are not just efficient they are a dream and exceeded all my expectations.. they go that further mile..i will and already have recommended this salon to everyone i know..
Very good, salon easy to find, staff very friendly and helpful. Was easy to book appointments by email, quick responses. happy with the treatment, and excellent price via wahanda. WOuld do this again
It was very nice. I like the ambient and the vicinity to the place. The therapist was very professional and I enjoyed the treatment I received. I would definatelly recommend it
Very good and noticed a difference after the three treatments that I had. It was very relaxing and did not feel any discomfort and it was very good value for money. I will be looking out for more deals similar to this :)
I bought three sessions of lipocav cellulite treatment. It doesn't seem to have made any difference. They said that if I bought three more sessions at full price then I would notice the difference. I thought this was a bit of a rip off to be honest. and they should have mentioned in their deal that 6 sessions were needed.
The venue is decidedly dingy and quite chilly. The therapists seemed utterly bored of administering the lipocav and the room in which it was done was cold.
One therapist couldn't be bothered to massage and moisturise the area after treatment which should have been done and I just wanted to leave by then and couldn't be bothered to ask her.
On arrival at Ilium, the place is not particularly appealing, as you have to go in through a hairdressing salon, and the staff there were generally disinterested. However, once the therapist came to meet me, she was very caring and thorough, and the revitalise package was generally enjoyable - and the massage was particularly strong.
I cannot recommend this salon enough. First Class. Amanda is extremely professional and friendly. I have been visiting for over 6 months and had various treatments all of which have been excellent. Great ambience and unintimidating. Not only offers a great service but is extremely helpful and goes out of her way care for you. Since going to the clinic my skin has never looked better and people have often commented on how much better my skin looks and feels. Dermalogica is brilliant and I am a converted user. Thank you.
I had a series of three Lipocav sessions at the Roseberry Rooms.
It was easy to book and find times when I could go but I didn't have the same therapist for all three sessions (each one week part) which I would have preferred.
On the first session the therapist took the time to show the improvement from the first treated buttock/thigh to the untreated buttock. In truth I couldn't see any difference either at that point or at the end of the session or following the two subsequent sessions. They do say that the treatment needs three to six applications - so maybe I didn't have enough? Or perhaps I didn't have enough cellulite in the first place? Or perhaps it just doesn't work. It would take before and after photos to convince me that it did.
The Lipocav (which is from what I understand small electrical pulses delivered by an implement that's moved over the skin) wasn't uncomfortable as such; there was a small sensation of a charge, but it wasn't a relaxing treatment so not a pampering treat.
I don't plan to have any more sessions to treat any cellulite - either Lipocav or anything else. I was tempted to try because of the Wahanda deal but at full price I wouldn't have experimented. I'll just be sticking to body brushing, self massage, daily exercise and good diet.
The therapists were friendly but it's not the most beautiful or well maintained spa.
The place is very nice and cosy and the staff friendly and professional.
The treatment was new to me and I saw results after the 2nd one.
They also have other services as nails and selling Dermalogica products, which I will take advantage of.
Definitely going back!
I can not afford a holiday this year but I still wanted to do something to get rid of the winter blues.
I have been feeling really low since all of that bad weather last year, I love to be in the sun and I think I get SAD when I don’t!
I booked myself a course of sun bed treatments and started to feel a bit better but I wanted something just a little bit more to treat myself and feel that something special had happened at least.
I decided on the recommendation of a friend to go and get a makeover session with New ID.
I was already sporting a pretty healthy looking tan from the solarium and didn’t really feel that I wanted a huge change of image but I did think that a few hours serious pampering followed by some pictures of me looking fabulous might be just what I needed to put the smile back on my face and as it looked like there was no way I was going to get any holiday snaps this year this would be a find substitute so off I went.
I was amazed how cheap the deal was that I got online and not only that but if you buy one deal you get another one free, I am yet to decide if I am going to use this for another session myself or use it as a gift for one of my friends or family.
Anyway, the salon is great, its really upbeat and friendly and the staff make you feel really welcome and really special.
You get a bit of an interview to start off with where you establish the reasons you want a makeover and you get chance to chat and tell them what sort of look you are after and what you like about yourself and don’t like and what you like and don’t like in your new look, its quite revealing actually and a very good eye opener.
Then off you go and have your hair washed, dried and styled and then you have your makeup done and before you know it you are off in front of the camera with a bag of your favorite clothes and its time to go!
I loved it, I am a bit of a extrovert at the best of times so this for me was right up my street, the sad part was that I was enjoying it so much it all went really quickly but oh it was just excellent fun.
Choosing the pictures is a nightmare and I did feel that had I not been pretty strong I could have been persuaded to buy a lot more than I did but I stuck to my budget and came away with some great choice that I cant wait to get delivered.
Its not a holiday but having a makeover is the ultimate self treat!
I got my Brows waxed at The Benefit brow bar. I love how she did my brows. She did not make them thin like the nail salons do. They were well priced and i tipped her it came out to $23.00 . GREAT VALUE FOR GREAT BROWS!!
i have been going to Louise for my beaulty treatment for a while now, she does such a good job and i always look forward to my next visit!
I have been going to Therapy Skincare for a number of years now. Louise and her staff are always very friendly no matter what time of day you go. I know if I needed any information on a specific product/treatment I could rely on Louise and her staff giving me the best advice.
I have had my toe nails done with that twinkle toes glitter stuff twice and it's amazing it lasts for months even after going on holiday on the beach! Everyone complimented them and asked where i'd had it done.
louise is amazing. The quality of all of her treatments is second to none.
She invests real time in her clients to understand their needs.
I feel so relaxed and cared for every time I visit.
I didn't know Louise when I first went to her salon but her friendly nature makes her so easy to trust and confide in that now I would really struggle to feel comfortable having my beauty care done by anyone else. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
It was a lovely salon, a little hard to find but it was lovely once you got there. I enjoyed my treatment and wished I had bought another voucher so I could have a longer facial! It was a lovely experience.
Therapy Skincare is a really relaxing place to be and Louise couldnt have looked after me any better! With the gorgeous surroundings, value for money, and the best treatments Ive had in a long time Id definately have no problems in recommending Therapy Skincare to anybody - Its a little gem!
Louise has been doing my treatments for years now. She always goes out of her way to fit me in, whether it be first thing in the morning or last thing late at night, she never minds staying back.
Alot of my friends always comment on my tan and ask me were i get it done! i only ever go to therapy skincare, the team of girls are fab! very welcoming and friendly,
thanx girls thanx Louise

I love New ID Studios, I have used them several times now, two for photographic sessions and once for hair and make up for my wedding and was equally delighted every time I have been there.
I just hate waiting more than five minutes for anything and the first time I went the studio was really busy and I had to wait for things to be done for quite a while but I have no other complaints well, I guess its fair to say that its not the cheapest way to spend your day if you want more than a couple of pictures, having said that I do think they are well worth the money.
The salons - (have used two branches, Manchester and Birmingham) are immaculately clean and have a really nice atmosphere.
The staff v- are wonderful and all seem to thoroughly enjoy what they are doing and it really shows and in my opinion makes all of the difference.
The products - I just love New ID cosmetics and now have a drawer full of them! The hair products are great too.
It almost goes without saying how great the photo sessions are, and both of the photographers have really captured who I am its really a very clever skill. I have come away with stunning pictures every time I have used New ID and been so impressed it would not cross my mind to use any other company for a makeover.
If you are looking for a change of image or just fancy some really nice pampering followed by some wonderful pictures then I recommend New ID. I cant compare them to other companies that offer the same service because New ID are the only ones that I have used but in my opinion I think the service would be very hard to beat!
I was very Happy with the overall presentation of the salon
.The staff was very nice and good at listening i came out loving my shellac nails and eye lashes extension !!!!its been 2 weeks now since i got it done and my nails and eyelashes still looking perfect !!!!
Unless you have quite a lot of spare cash or a lot of space on your credit card do not go to New ID. You are going to want to buy every single one of the pictures believe me! I did and I ended up spending a fortune, I don’t regret it because the pictures are so good but you wont be able to resist and I really wish that I had more money to start off with because its going to take me forever to pay off my credit card bill but there is no way on earth I was going to leave without every one of those photographs, well OK every one of them is a slight exaggeration I did spend about 600 pounds more than I anticipated!
New ID is a great experience, having a make over really does give your ego a boost which is exactly what it says on the website, I didn’t think that it really would do much for my self esteem but it did wonders for it.
I am not sure what sort of camera they used but for some reason I looked about 15 pounds lighter on the pictures. I did try to make clever use of clothes that make me look slim but I looked way slimmer than I really am in the very beautiful photos!
I really enjoy being I the studio, there is a great and lively atmosphere, it was really good fun. I was lucky because most of the people there that day were about my age and all really chatty so it felt like being out with a bunch of best friends.
The staff were equally lovely and make me feel and look fantastic.
I had the best hair cut that I have had in years, the friendly girl did a really good job of it and the makeup was just as lovely.
The photo studio part was a lot smaller than I expected but the creative use of backgrounds was really ingenious and looked great on the pictures.
I went for the CD rather than prints and frames as my main motivation for going was to get some pictures for my online dating, so that worked out better for me, plus I can print them off and get them framed at a later date if I feel like filling my house full of pictures of me looking like a goddess!
When I got to the shop I realised I had forgotten my voucher and then suggested I when I got inside to go to an internet cafe to get it printed after he therapy, the receptionist who I believe was also a therapist, refused and said that I had to pay for the treatment, and that the number on the voucher had already been waived, canceled. I was so appalled at her rudeness, and also the fact that she was not flexible, and choose to not use discretion. It was a human error on my part, but I felt she choose not to be flexible. I traveled from North London to West yet I was left reeling, and feeling so disappointment. I would not use Silky Smooth after all they are not the only retailers performing facial.arrangement and leniency was not given to me, a customer.
I've selected beauty treatments as chriopractic treatments werent an option. The salon is really lovely, the staff friendly and the treatment I received for my back was great. I've been back a couple of times since and would reccommend the salon to anyone.
I met two therapist , Rita and Sarah (?Kiwi lady) for the patch test and laser hair removal and both were extremely professonal, gentle and made me feel relaxed despite the immodesty of the procedure. I cannot rate this establishment and its staff more highly.
Fantastic hotel with great central location. Rooms were fantastic and staff were really friendly. Made for a wonderful break. It was good that we were able to book the treatments for a month after the stay. Had the massage and it was heavenly. Definitely recommend this Radisson Blue Hotel!
A first class, professional and personal service. June goes the extra mile in everything she does, the atmosphere is relaxed and the treatments conducted to an exceptionally high standard. Once you have been once you will never want to go anywhere else, you will just want to keep going back for more 'me' time!
My Spa Treatment with Kyia today was by far the best I have ever had. The Hot Stones Back Massage was to die for and the facial was so intense my skin is still tingling now. I would recommend Kyia to all of my friends and family, he makes you feel so relaxed and really looks after you.
His treatments are fantastic and today will be a memorable experience for me - thanks again Kyia, I will definately be booking another treatment soon x
I visited Michael Jane for laser hair removal. 1 week before my actual treatment, I went in for a patch test. The therapist was very friendly and chatty. She explained thoroughly about the laser hair removal process and gave me some papers to fill in as well as some information sheets to take away. The actual patch test was more painful than I expected.
I then went in for my actual laser hair removal treatment and the therapist was Jessica. She's nice and professional and I told her my concerns about the treatment being painful. She said she'll take that into consideration and ensure I will be as comfortable as possible. The actual treatment was definitely less painful than the patch test and I was very glad for that.
Overall it was a good experience and I will recommend Michael Jane for laser hair removal services.
I want to make this review more about the cosmetics that I brought from New ID when I went for my stunning transformation from a none cosmetics wearer to a cosmetics wearer. I think that the actual makeover itself is well documented but there is hardly anything written about the products and lets face it at the end of the day, other than the talent of the stylists and makeup artists it’s the cosmetics used that are going make the difference.
For a start then, twenty one pounds fifty got me the most amazing compact powder and bronzer that comes an nice sized pack with a mirror. The product gives you a real sun kissed look and who doesn’t need that after all of this really rubbish weather. If was taught and still find that this products works really well on the bridge of the nose, cheekbones and forehead and these days I don’t go out with out on and in my bag.
My next top tip is the eye smolder that is totally amazing and easy to use when you want that smoky eye look. It’s a pencil that has an angled twist up eyeliner and one end and the other end its got the matching cream eye shadow and sponge applicator, best eighteen pounds I have ever spent! Its just so easy to use. I went for charcoal and it is ultra effective.
Next up I plump! This is awesome and has some plumping thing going on here that gives you a serious pout! This handy little tool has built in lights and a mirror which is well handy when you cant get to a mirror in a nightclub because half a million girls beat you to it! Although the best time to put it on is at the start of applying your make up.
My last hint for the day is the I concealer it’s the only one I have ever found to work. Its dead easy to use and it covers up blemishes and black bags under the eyes a treat. Just shove a bit on and then pad it out with your finger, that way it really blends in. this is also a great investment at only eighteen pound fifty I have used it heaps and its not even started to run out.
So there you have it my New ID cosmetics run down.
The makeover was really great by the way, I just thought the products are also well worth a mention!
it was a wounderful experience the staff were friendly and made my visit really special and personal, the facial was so relaxing and enjoyable. the sliming treatment was short but very effective. the massage was so firm and enjoyable.
i would recommend this offer and this salon to others any time
Venue was easy to find and well explained by the receptionist. What I like the most that all staff had a smile on their faces and were friendly. Ambience was spot on too. It wasn't a complete satisfaction from the microdermabasion treatment as it lasted for 20 minutes and I was left with still experiencing white granules/crystal on my face and hairline.
On Saturday, March 12, 2011, my awesome fiancé surprised me for my birthday with a full spa day package from 9am-2pm at the Red Door Spa in Tysons Corner, VA. The address is 8075 Leesburg Pike, Vienna VA 22182. The package included 1 hot stone massage, 1 signature facial, manicure, pedicure, make-up application. You can't imagine how excited I was when I fiancé dropped me off at Red Door Spa! I never been to the place, the best part was I had no clue.
Unfortunately, my birthday was ruined! I was burned on my left shoulder during the hot stone massage. I hope the dollar size burn mark on my left should does not leave a permanent scare. While receiving the facial I was told I need to take better care of my face, that my pours are horrible, and my cleaning routine is bad. During the facial I was uncomfortable, humiliated, and just wanted it to be over right away! While the mask was on my face I was left in the room for an extended period of time not knowing what was going on. During the Pedicure I was cut deeply and bleeding from my left toe second to the big toe. I could not wear heels with a dress later that night for an outing with my girlfriends because the pain from the cut was so bad. The people most close to me know I love heels, so I felt ridicules wearing flats with the dress I purchased for my birthday celebration later that night.
On top of that the manicure could not be done because I have a gel overlay on my nail and the manicurist did not know how to remove the gel. I get my nails done every two weeks and I never heard of no one not knowing how to take it off, but after the pedicure incident I did not want her touching my hands.
But wait, I'm not finished! The make artist was over booked and I waited for 45 minutes to have my make-up done. As I was waiting my fiancé came to pick me up assuming I was done. I didn't want to ruin such a loving gesture he did for me. Honestly, I hope he will send me to spa every birthday (Just not Red Door) . So I didn't complain. That's why I am writing. He prepaid for the package, but I was not happy at all with the services. I would not recommend this spa to any of my friends/family.
Not once was I offered a drink or catered to like the other women who seemed to be regulars. I feel like the atmosphere is judgmental and if you don't "look" like money you will not be treated well. That's a shame, because you never really know who or what anyone has. I was upset that my birthday experience was ruined. But my fiancé and friends made up for my horrible day later that night.
My experience at Stepping Stones gave me some great ammunition for pub banter with the girls*….
Firstly there was alot of confusion about what a Whanda £50 voucher was, but after 3 phone calls it got sorted... I went along to my appointment for a full facial and back massage (looking forward to relaxing) when I arrived there seemed to be some more confusion about what I had booked in for, and the receptionist suggested I have some threading?! I was a bit bemused because that was the last thing I wanted! After the confusion was dealt with the therapist took me through to the room, she was very friendly (as was the receptionist) but even though some of the reviews on here said the rooms were basic I was a bit surprised at quite how basic, It felt a bit like temporary accommodation.
After the therapist put on some music and turned the lights down I forgot about the surroundings and started to relax. However the massage was not really ones I have had elsewhere, it felt like I was being slathered in oil and she used very quick movements but hardly any pressure, it didn’t really do anything for me and to make matters worse every time the therapist stood at the head end of the massage couch her stomach bumped into my head!
Afterwards it was time for my facial and the therapist asked me if id had one before, I said I had and that I’ve got very sensitive skin and its been quite sore recently. The facial was much like the massage, lots & lots and lots of product and water and really fast rubbing movements all over my face and neck. Part way through I felt a sharp scratching feeling on my face and asked the therapist what it was and she showed me a metal implement that is meant to be for blackheads apparently, she said ‘it hurts doesn’t it’ - erm YES!
Then it was on to a steam and some toner which smelt a bit like antiseptic and stung my face, after which it was time for the mask and whilst the therapist was applying it she commented; ‘you’ve got lots of hair on your face’ – *Que shrieking laughter from the girls in the pub. Er right, I really didn’t know what to say to that! I have got some downy blonde hairs on my cheeks but id never really seen them as a problem! Then I was left for 10 mins with the mask on, by this point the same song had been playing on repeat on the CD player for over an hour – there is only so much repeat panpipes a person can take! When I looked in the mirror afterwards my face was really red and when I got home and looked at my face closer I had product in every concealable crevice; in my ears, up my nose and a film over my eyes which id been trying to rub away whilst walking to the train station home!!!
Two days later and I have to admit my face does feel cleaner and my skin smoother but I don’t really think it was worth it! I did think quite carefully about writing this review, I feel a bit bad as the girls working there were really friendly and sweet but it was just unlike any treatment I’d ever experienced before and the hairy face comment, well what can I say?....
A small and cosy day spa, with friendly staff and good choice of treatments. My full body lomi lomi massage was wonderfully relaxing - i would definately visit this spa again. A no frills reception area, but this reflects in their excellent prices.
Maureen provides the best beauty service in Stockport. Facials are truly relaxing (the neck and back massage is the best) and the atmosphere is always welcoming. One of my favourite places.
I'd booked this for a Chrimbo prezzie for my sister and decided to go with her. Unfortunately it proved difficult to find a mutually suitable date so left it a bit late to book. However, the staff were really helpful, and whilst our appointments had to be separated they did their best to reduce our waiting times by multi-tasking!
Whilst this salon was pretty small and cosy, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the treatments received. Our therapist was really friendly and made us feel very at ease. The massage was so relaxing that I could have happily stayed there all day! We came away feeling totally relaxed and rejuvenated...ideal as we'd been out for my daughter's 18th the night before!
The only downside was that they didn't have toilet facilities on the premises but they were able to take us to a facility just 2 doors away- slightly inconvenient but otherwise wonderful service.
I would definitely recommend and would happily go again...especially at such good value for money.
We were especially delighted with the friendliness of the staff. Pat happened to be in reception when we arrived and along with the receptionist made us feel very welcome. Pat also looked after us at breakfast and again we were impressed by both the food and the service. The bottle of wine and fruit in our room was also a lovely touch. A lovely break. Thank you!!!
The New ID makeover I had was lovely and very good value for money. The pictures on the other hand are really too expensive. I could only afford to buy two other than the one that I got free. I felt really upset about that because I would have loved to have more of them. I don’t know why I didn’t think to make more effort to look into the cost of the pictures before I went. I don’t think I had thought it through until the end of the deal, I was too busy looking forward to having the makeover itself which was in fact really wonderful.
When I got to New ID the receptionist set the scene for the whole time I was there. She greeted with me with a warm smile, and immediately asked me what I wanted to drink and showed me where to sit down and wait for the lady to come along and give me my welcome consultation.
The consultation lady was also very friendly and kind, she asked me what I liked and didn’t like and got me to fill in a fairly comprehensive form detailing what I wanted.
After that I went over to the bit where they do your hair and had my hair washed and conditioned and then cut into a very nice style that suited me a lot better than the style I went in with and some how they seemed to have cut out a fair bit of my grey hair so already I looked quite a lot younger. Once my hair had been dried and styled I went off to have my makeup done. The lady was really busy, I had to wait for about 15 minute for her to be ready for me. she was very friendly and pleasant and did a really lovely job of my makeup, explaining what she was doing as we went through.
I got a fit of nerves just before I had the photos taken, I don’t really know why because I did feel very pretty.
The photographer soon calmed me down and having the photos done was really good fun.
So the whole makeover part was lovely, I just got a bit upset at the prices of the pictures are the viewing session. Other than that it was a really good experience, the pictures that I did end up with are very lovely just wish I had more of them.
Sadly, I did not get to experience my booking for this venue, and unfortunately the star rating was a mandatory excercise. My voucher was valid for 3 months, one of the shorter offers, and December was fully booked. I live 85 miles from Birmingham and was working overseas for several weeks at a time in the New Year. Admittedly I only gave 5 days' notice to book, and I note the 'subject to availability' proviso. However, my request for an appointment was refused, as the offer was ending in 6 days, and they 'couldn't fit me in'. I felt the person telling me this was not the friendliest, and I really felt like a schoolgirl who had misbehaved. However, she promised that the manager/owner would call me on Friday (this was Wednesday). She did not.
All other salons have been so very accommodating and even extending the offer for a few days. I cannot fault the reception I have had before now. My view is that, with such an offer, then perhaps the salon should have foreseen the response, and offered a 6 month availabilty instead. I have lost my money, and it's all very disappointing.
The initial appointment booking was unsatisfactory as there seemed to be some sort of confusion on the therapist's part and I turned up to find that the appointment had not been booked at all.
Decided to try again - the therapist was copetent - treatments were good and did actually yield results. However, the actual venue is awkwardly located i.e. the treatment rooms are just next to the changing rooms in the leisure centre and there is a general atmosphere of hustle and bustle-not quite what one wants when waiting to indulge in a pampering session.
I just had a makeup lesson with New ID that me Mum got me for my birthday. I have been wanting to learn how to do makeup properly for ages and now I want to go to college and learn how to be a makeup artist, that is how much the lesson inspired me.
The lesson cost 45 quid and that does sound like a lot but it is really worth it. You get to learn about so much stuff there were so much more to it than I thought it would be.
I went with me mate who got a voucher as well and I think because there were two of us it was more fun, I am not sure if it would have been so great if I had gone on me own.
Basically what happens is when you get there they book you in and then you get to look through some books and stuff while you wait for the woman to come over and take you to the makeup part of the room.
I saw that there was a lot of champagne and stuff on the go but we just got tea and coffee because we were not having the full makeover but that was fine by us because we really didn’t want to be drunk and not remember all what we were taught anyway
First off they have a look at your skin and work out what type it is and then they take you through how to look after your skin, and tell you about how important it is to make sure you get your makeup off which is something I am terrible at remembering to do and they show you how to properly cleanse your face and stuff like that, it sounds really boring but it is not at all and it is really important to look after your skin.
Then they show you how to put on foundation and how to make your face have more contours and how to do eyes and show you how to have a different look in the day to at night and stuff like that.
The lady we had was really nice and you get to ask all of the questions that you want to ask and she is fine, we totally bombarded her and she was great about it the whole time. she puts it all on a bit of paper for you so you can remember as well. We must have been in there for just over and hour and I learnt more in that hour than I have done in years, its well worth it.
the accommodation building is beautiful - like a mini Longleat. Very friendly staff, spa is small but very nice, clean and really able to relax. Great food - especially the cream tea in the Great Hall. Would love to go again.
I got the treatment i asked for and was satisfied with the end result . The threapist was friendly as was the rest of the staff I was made to feel welcome and enjoyed my time here.
I recently had a eye lash extension at this venue,warm welcoming people.
The eye lashes looked amazing....the actual procedure took one hour but i didn't even realise as everything was so relaxing and the threapist was friendly and talkative. it was exactly what i wanted for my party.Every one love it and i had very good compliments on that lashes.
A really relaxing environment and very professional and freindly staff. They were excellent , my therapist explains everything she is doing and about to do and we had a nice chat through it which helps take your mind off it!
facial which was very good. It was one hour treatment, so relaxing I almost fell asleep. This facial involved very relaxing neck, shoulder & hand massage.
I was really happy with my overall experience. The therapist was really great. She offered helpful aftercare advice and I felt very comfortable with her. I am looking forward to my next visit.
I had the full set of eyelash extensions. Was done quickly and I'm thrilled with the results. Only thing was that the place was very difficult to find and I had to call for help finding it despite having the new address. It's located at the back of the furniture store on Blandford St now. I will probably go back to have them done again :)
I had a hollywood wax and eyebrow and lip threading. The therapist knew her stuff and was professional but as strip waxed is used at the salon I would not get hollywood waxing done there again, I would however get leg/arm/other waxing done and would recommend going for this. Strip wax is not suitable for intimate areas as its much harsher and pulls the skin so much which is why I would not recommend getting a hollywood done here unless the switched to using hot wax for intimate areas. I was in a bit of pain for a little while afterwards. Strip wax is fine for legs/arms etc so go for other areas! I am happy with the eyebrow and lip threading I had done and would recommend going for that.
Treatment was ok. Staff were great. Loud noises in the shop can be heard in treatment room, loud heater, radio, telephone. Lights not dimmed. Wasn't overly relaxing but ok for the price. Probably wouldn't go back.
I found the over all experience lovely from the start as I was running a bit late and they kindly reschedule me for half an hour later. The salon was easy to find from ealing broadway station and the staff were very friendly. I had a seaweed body wrap and a inch loss treatment. I had not had any of the treamets before but the therapist was very nice and explained the procedure to me before having them done, All round I would definitely reccomend the salon and will be going back for further treatments.
i bought this gift as a present for my sister and she had an amazing time! She highly recommended the therapists for being helpful and understanding, the ambience of the spa was relaxing.
I booked a massaged here and it was great, came out feeling totally relaxed which was much needed. I will definitely be booking in again, well worth a try.
I have been reading the reviews of New ID for ages and saving up as hard as I can to go and be sure that when I did see the pictures that I heard so much about I would be in a position to buy as many of them as I wanted.
I scored a really good deal on a voucher online and had I not have read so much about New ID I know I would have just booked right away and ended up disappointed that I was not in a position to buy all of the pictures that I wanted.
I am so pleased that I did bother to look into it and read a review that told me that their prices were online so I knew what I was up for and made sure I saved up enough.
It was a really hard choice on the pictures even in my position so in the end I went for the CD of my pictures instead of buying prints and frames. I got one print free anyway so I have put that up in my lounge.
My makeover went pretty much how everybody else who has been on here had theirs. Warm welcome on arrival from a very pretty receptionist, then a sit down and chat with a consultant who helped me chose what sort of a look to go for. I went for an evening look because that is what I struggle the most with and wanted some help and advice on having a nice look for evenings and special occasions. The makeup lady made it really easy for me to understand what she was doing and I found the makeup chat that you get with the makeover that shows what has been used and what went where really easy to follow.
I am stepping out at night with a lot of confidence now and really enjoyed having my makeup done and am enjoying what I have learnt and with practice I am getting better and better at putting makeup on and judging how much to use.
I have brought quite a few of the New ID cosmetics because I find them really easy to use and they last a long time. even when I have been clubbing and really sweat my makeup has stayed put so I am very happy to recommend it as well as the makeover experience
Nirvana was a real treat. Great ambience, friendly, chatty staff and good value for money. I used the Flabelos machine which worked great! Overall a very satisfying experience, I would definately recommend it!
Guy's If you are looking for a place this is the one! A great beautician who does all gents waxing a real expert! Back Sack and Crack without a doubt! Hot wax or Warm they give you the choice, A Beautician called Ariane hasn' been there long but is a real expert! I had Helena before who is very good too but she doesn't do the intimate waxing so I had to go with new one, But hey other than that nice place to go!!!! Recommand It!!!!
very calm and the therapist made sure i was ok very often. loved the results and was able to ask for hints and advice on my procedure. well worth the money. i had the ultratone and seaweed wrap. would definatly do it again as it was well worth the money. the staff were very friendly and i felt very calm communicating with them
I found out all about New ID Studios from a colleague at work, who strutted into the office one day looking amazing and like a different woman. It took us ages to get it out of her where she had been and how she ended up looking so different but eventually she let us in to her secret and told us all about her day. Once the secret was out I decided to check out their website where I came across a load of great last minute offers if you're prepared to go without a great deal of notice.
My main motivation for making a change myself is that I was going to a friend's wedding, I am great going out in my scruffs, as I usually do but on occasions like this where it is really important to look your best I always get myself stressed out on and worried my hair's not going to go right or my make up will look rubbish.
So as it was half price I booked myself in for a fashion makeover on the morning of the wedding and thought I'd let someone else take the strain!
It was such a brilliant way to get me in the mood for the day ahead.
You're given complimentary drinks the whole time you're there; I opted for the Bucks Fizz but you can have soft drinks as well.
The look the stylists created for me was absolutely fabulous and I felt like a million dollars when I turned up at wedding.
This package didn't include any photos so I can't comment on this side of things but my experience of New ID was that of a very professional company who I would definitely use again.
This deal is just perfect for when you know you have to look amazing. Normally I would have had a really sleepless night and worried about how I was going to cope, but this way I knew I would be in the hands of the professionals and it took all of the stress and worry out of it and left me to just look forward to the makeover and the occasion.
I would love to go back and have makeover and photoshoot, if how great I looked in the wedding pictures was anything to go by then I am sure they will be well worth the time and the money!
I had a sea weed wrap, which was great and very relaxing, then another therapist did individual eye lashes, both therapists were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this salon, and treatments were great value for money.
Fantastic place! Ideal for relaxing. Great facilities to take advantage of and we had two relaxing treatments to end our day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are planning on going back as soon as we can :-)
The staff were extremely friendly and accomodating even though I had to cancel my first appointment at a very short notice. The therapist was very knowledgable and really put me at easy. I left with the most glowing and clean skin which lasted me for weeks! I would definitely go again and recommend to anyone. Overall excellent service! Thanks!
My next door neighbor had been to New ID and I was really impressed with her pictures. She went with her kids and I was going to do the same and then I decided, after the kids showed not interest what so ever that I would reserve the treat for myself.
I had a look online and found a really good deal on the New ID last minute offer page and booked myself up for my first ever make over.
I didn’t have much idea what to expect but the website gave me a better idea. I couldn’t get the videos on the site to work at my house but I did at work and I got really excited about it.
I arrived at 9am on the day and found the studio to already be lively and buzzing with activity, I felt another rush of excitement run through me and I could hardly wait to get started.
I had looked through a lot of magazines trying to work out what sort of look to go for but had really come up with nothing so I decided to leave it with New ID, after all they are the experts.
I had to put down a twenty five pounds deposit booking fee for the appointment but that was fine because once you turn up you can either spend it on goods/photographs or they will refund it to you, I had also put down an initial deposit of one hundred pounds which New ID then added one hundred pounds to so I was ready to go and ready to buy some pictures.
The makeover itself was a wonderful experience and the photoshoot was fantastic. The photographer was so talented, guided me through the shoot and made me look like dynamite in the pictures. The fashion and fun backgrounds were great and I had no idea the picture would all come out so different, it made choosing the ones I wanted really hard.
Looking back I wish I had put more money down to start off with so I could have afforded a few more of the pictures on the day, I have no idea where I would have put them but they were all so beautiful I honestly had a tear in my eye seeing them and having to leave a few that I really wanted there!
New ID makeover is a great experience, the only thing I would say is don’t go unless you can afford a lot of the pictures because believe me you are going to want all of them!
It was a good expirience and this is going to be for me the beauty studio that I`am going to use in the future.Also the staff is been very kind and helpfull for the time spent in there,so definitly I will recomended to other friends as well
I thought that I would feel like a total idiot having my pictures taken at New ID. I was not worried about any other part of the makeover but trying to pose like a model when I have never done anything close to modeling before in my life was a real worry to me.
I need not have worried, or ended up having too much to drink the night before because it worried me so much, the photo session at New ID is just wild.
You get in there and then they leave you in there so you can change into your first outfit, then you give them a yell, in they come, lights go on, music goes on and its time to rock and role.
The studio has loads of different things for you to have your picture taken with and there are lots of backdrops they stand you in front of. The photographer tells you exactly what to do and how to look at him and look away and smile a bit and put your chin up a bit or down a bit and when you still don’t get it he just comes over and shows you exactly how to pose best for the camera. I think I must have done his head in because I kept laughing but I think it was just because I was a bit nervous, if I did annoy him he never let on and was really good with me and make me feel really comfortable.
They basically take some pictures then you change into another outfit, they check your hair and your make up and then you go again. By the time I was having me in my forth outfit photographed I felt like I had been doing it for years and found it really easy to pose in the way the guy wanted me to and held it long enough for him to get some really good pictures.
When it came to the viewing I liked the last set of pictures the best because I could tell I felt so much more confident.
After my experience I feel really confident in front of any camera now, it really did a lot for me so a big thanks to New ID for really making me feel very welcome, taking care of me, making me look so amazing and for getting some really amazing pictures of me!
In response to louisecl
I agree that the pictures from New ID are really amazing but I can’t agree with the rest of the review. You are certainly offered credit from New ID and they gave me the option of several different deals in order to allow me to buy more of the pictures than I could afford to pay cash for but I didn’t feel under any real pressure to take up any of their offers. I cant comment on the section here that talks about a change in credit terms but I do think that if you are going to buy anything at all on credit it is a very good idea to have a through look at all of the credit small print before you go into and sign anything. I think it is highly doubtful that New ID could simply change credit terms, I find it far more likely that the terms were not understood.
It think that any responsible person would be able to only put things on their credit card if they were in a position to pay it off afterwards and you can actually get very good terms on credit cards that would make putting goods in it a beneficial way of making a purchase.
I think the moral of this story is to know what you can afford to spend, make yourself aware of the cost of the goods before you have the experience and stick to your budget. If you are offered credit terms make sure that you understand them completely before you take them and again, stick to your budget.
I found the New ID staff to be helpful and kind and I did not get the impression that an one of them would be able to bully me into spending more than I had planned on and I very much doubt that they would be a very successful company if this is how they operate.
I don’t think New ID is a scam at all, I think perhaps that wanting more pictures than could be afforded was the case here and its then very unfair to come online and make derogatory comments about what I found to be a very reputable company
I very much enjoyed my experience, the quality of the treatments was very nice, the staff were all very friendly, the salon was clean and orderly and the picture were amazing.
Hi I don't normally write reviews but i think Pasha Clinic (I went to Maddox St) are getting unfair reviews.
I went into the clinic with a negative attitude as I had read such bad reviews, but by the same token am desperate to eliminate my stretchmarks.
From the moment I walked through the door I was welcomed by a warm friendly receptionist and parted with my hard earned money; so far so good.
My first appointment(still negative attidude) went fine, they had all my details and appointments listed and did not skimp on time given to my treatment.
When I came out I was allowed to book two appointments in advance and a young gentleman jotted them down for me on a card as a reminder.
My next appointment was even better and i was given a very high level of service even though I had brought my treatments on a discounted voucher.
I found the staff at Pasha to be very helpful and jovial.
This is a family run business so there is a lot of banter between staff,but at no time did i feel uncomfortable.
The only thing I will say is that salon space is limited probably reflecting West End prices but i found the rooms clean and tidy.
As for my treatment for eporex I have seen some improvement in the colour but it is early days yet as I am only on my second treatment.
The doctor was very helpful and suggested bringing in cling film so that I could keep the serum on my marks for longer;which made a lot of sense.
I think Pasha Cllinic has the customers best interest at heart.
All I say is give Pasha a try and go in there with a open mind, and im sure you will not be disappointed.
I will keep you all posted with the results of my eporex treatment.
I went to Arella Beauty before my Wedding in July of last year, I had a Facial, Eyelash tint, Manicure & Pedicure beforehand & my Make-up done on the day of my Wedding, Fay done an excellent job of my makeup and everyone commented on it, I've never been to a Beauty Salon before so that's why I chose Arella due to them being mobile, but I have been to the girls home salon 3 more times for facials and really enjoy it! both Fay & Kim are very friendly & make me feel comfortable, although both girls are only young they do not lack in experience & knowledge & they always do an excellent job I give them 5* & would recommend them to anyone!
I've been there twice so far and loved it! I didn't know it existed when I went into Macy's. I was browsing at the counter and I was invited to the eyebrow bar "party." I went to the "party" had my brows done and eyelashes done....great job and great fun! I was surprised that eyebrow waxing could be so fun! I also enjoyed playing with the makeup at the counter. I would definitely recommend it for great eyebrows and a great mood lifter.
It was a disappointing start - I had to call three times before Mia Bella had her appointment book but the facilities were clean, she was efficient and friendly enough. I am also happy with the length and thickness of the lashes. The only thing I didn't particularly like was the tape that was placed on my lower lashes. They didn't come out when it was removed but I prefer to have them kept out of the way with cotton pads. Overall, good value.
I had a back massage, face lifting facial and a slimming treatment. The slimming treatment inolved being wrapped and tied up to electronic pads I believe which buzzedevery couple of seconds for 30mins - weird but left dsired results as she measured me before and after. Then I had the facial which was really nice and made my skin really bright and fresh. The back massage was very good too. The Therapist was very friendly. The salon was a bit small with 3 'rooms' which had wall dividers so you could still hear others' conversation- I didn't mind. The major downfall was no toilet on site but it was only a couple of doors down. I would go again as the treatments were all new to me.
This experience was a nightmare from start to finish. The therapist arrived forty minutes late. The premises were not a beauty clinic, but a hairdressers-come bric-a-brac shop. The hairdresser was pleasant, but he had no connection with Mia Bella. Probably, she wouldn't have turned up at all, but for my attempts to contact her on her mobile. I regret those attempts now. The couch was covered in dirty towels. She didn't wash her hands at all and appeared to be eating an apple at one stage. The tattoo machine, which she extracted from a holdall, looked old and grubby. She took telephone calls throughout and seemed to be in a great hurry. She tattooed my eyebrows and lips in just over an hour, including 'consultation' , if you can call it that. She made it clear that the cost of the treatment was not worth her while. No follow up was offered, despite the written terms of the offer, and no questionnaire completed. The procedure was excrutiatingly painful. Both my eyebrows and lips bled profusely. The numbing gel to my lips had been applied at the start of the appointment, so its effect had probably worn off. There is no lip blush effect whatsoever - just a wobbly chocolate-coloured lipline and my eyebrows look old fashioned - no individual hair effect whatsoever. I'm praying that they will look better in a few weeks time. Worst of all, I've just found out from health and safety that, even though, the needle may have been new, there is a serious risk of contracting HIV or hepatitis if the machine itself is not sterile, which, clearly, this was not. I just wish I could rewind the clock. Incidentally, I booked through Wowcher, so paid up front. BEWARE.
I took my friend as a christmas present and she loved it. Said her face was lovely and smooth and re hydrated and the massage was good as she focused on a problem neck area. She was very happy.
I had the microdermabrasion finished off with 5mins LED light and it was definitely value for money as I had this done somewhere else while ago and it charged a lot more and the service was not as half good. I was explained the procedure and the kind of product along the way and my skin felt very soft and clean afterwards.
One small thing, my appointment was kind of mixed up and i was asked to make another appointment initially because of that which i didnt think it was my problem at all! but at the end my facialist tried to accommodate it for me so i didnt have to waste my trip. Overall, i sure will visit the salon again and will recommend this treatment for anyone who particularly wishes to have a deep cleansing of her facial skin. It is certainly a good 'deal'!
Its a great salon and in a good location. The staff were really lovely, especially the two therapists I had (one for the skin test and the other for the laser hair removal). Both were very professional and supportive given my concerns that the treatment maybe painful. On the contrary, the treatment was not painful as I thought it would be. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who wants effective hair removal and would like to avoid regular waxing/shaving.
Absolutely TERRIBLE customer service. I have been a loyal customer at this salon for over a year, primarily due to its proximity to my office and the lycon wax which they use for the bikini waxes. When I first went, I was impressed with the service and quality of the beauticians and even brought a party of friends for treatments for my birthday a year ago.
The american beautician who I used to see was excellent, and very friendly, as was another girl. However, they have both left the salon and it seems to me that the rudeness of the management may have been why. The last wax I had around 3 weeks ago by an australian girl called Lisa was very poor. She broke most of the hairs and just didn't seem to care, leaving me with lumps of brown wax to peel off my skin when she left the room for me to change. In addition, I was surprised to find they had increased the prices from my last visit (the prices on the website are incorrect). Before, I wouldn't have minded paying the extra few pounds as the waxes had always been very good, however, on this occassion the wax was so bad I actually had to go home and epilate the areas which had not been waxed properly.
I was tempted not to return to the salon after the last wax, however I had been given a loyalty card around a year ago when I first went to the parlour and had been told that I would receive £25 off a treatment when I filled my loyalty card with blue kisses. I was told by the girl who gave me the card that I could use this for any treatment, including waxes. As I had finally filled my loyalty card with the last wax I had, I wanted to use it for a wax treatment. I spoke with the Manager on the telephone to confirm I had filled my loyalty card and would like to use it toward my next wax appointment and was shocked to be told that the card I had been given was old and had been discontinued 3 years ago. She bluntly told me my card would have to be replaced with something else and she could not honour the offer and "£25 was too much". I tried to explain that I had only been given the card a year ago and was rudely interrupted by her on the telephone telling me it was just not possible and I must have been given the card by mistake. Tired of being yelled at on the phone, I promptly cancelled the appointment and will never return to this place again.
Congratulations, you have lost a loyal customer, and with so many other places around in the city I will easily find another venue for my beauty treatments.
I had laser hair removal at Michael Jane. I found the staff very professional, especially Rita, who put put me at ease and explained everything step-by-step. The salon is very nice and the setup is very discreet. I can only recommend it.
I had laser hair removal at Michael Jane Laser, and my whole experience was fantastic. I'm struggling to find a down side to this treatment. Really lovely staff, with a professional environment, and fantastic savings that made it all possible. I would recommend this place to any of my friends. Very easy to get to by tube as well. I guess the only down side would be that you can only treat each area once, despite having multiple vouchers, so not full hair removal can be achieved (as multiple sessions per area are required) so if one session wasn't enough for you, you would need to pay for more.. the first one you pay for is half price on their prices, mind, more significant from the voucher price still!
This is a great salon, very convenient location. My treatment was first class and will definately be back. Bought some vouchers for my mum and sister for Christmas too so as you can see I have already recommended it!
T ook my daughter for special treat, had a great day really enjoyed this treatment, therapist great value for money, would go again. has facial back massage slim treatment for £10.00 what a great deal.
This was fantastic, best treatment ever had, very friendly pleasent therapists, took daughter it was a xmas present we had back massage, facial , slim treatment for £10.00 value for money. exellent recommend to anyone
I had initially booked the 75 mins back shoulder massage followed by a terre de la mer facial. When i first arrived, i was kept waiting for about 15 whilst filling out a form. Then i found that i could not do the treatment as i was allergic to shellfish and the ingredients may trigger an allergy reaction. However the therapist offered to change it to other treatments on the menu. So i picked the thalgo hydration facial which was 55 mins but had to pay the difference which was £20 i think. The therapist gave me a 75 mins facial treatment as opposed to the 55 mins off the menu. So even though i had to make up the difference, i felt ok. The therapist was really good, her techniques were slow and deliberate and really helped me relax as i am not always able to relax during facials. The quietness of the place was also good, i think it must have been well insulated, so that i cannot hear other people walking in the corridor or people in the next rooms as in some other places. The ambience of the room was just right. So despite the earlier hiccups, i thoroughly enjoyed it!
The treatment itself was very pleasant, though shorter than advertised; instead of 60 mins it was little more than 45 mins. Main reason for low rating is that my skin was soft (though a bit shiny) afterwards, but it was also somewhat 'cloggy'. I very,very rarely suffer from spots or some such, but had two small ones come up within days of the treatment (other facials tend to leave the skin glowing and clear).
The environment is not great; salon is based in a touristy hotel and the spa/salon is a typical hotel add-on/ afterthought - but primarily due to the lack of positive result from treatment, would not go back or recommend it (I have lots of facials, so have plenty with which to compare this).
My mum asked me to leave the feedback as she's not so web savvy but she loves this place!
The offer through Wahanda sounded amazing and too good to miss. Although the timings detailed on Wahanda were slightly different to the actual timings, the treatments received were absolutely great.
I was not aware of the salon beforehand, so this was an ideal opportunity to sample a local salon at a low cost and I was very impressed. The staff were really friendly, helpful and attentive. The only constructive comment I have is that the rooms were more like partitions in a larger room, quite small and had no roofs so you were able to hear everything going on outside of the room. The salon is an ideal set up for quick beauty treatments such as facials/waxing etc, but not somewhere I would choose for longer or more relaxing sessions.
I would a visit to this salon, although it is compact Finishing Touches is a lovely salon, the therapist there was extremely helpful and professional.
My husband commented later in the week that I looked younger, he was not aware that I had recieved the treatment earlier in the week. I was very impressed with the results after just one treatment.
Aromatherapy massages should be relaxing! It would have been great as a post-sports massage - very vigorous, not at all relaxing. The facial was very basic, I could have done this myself at home with a facial brush and a kettle. Glad I didn't pay any more.
It was a good all over beauty treatment which I wish lasted a bit longer. I had to wait outside for a bit since both therapists were treating people when I arrived. My free gifts after closer examination looked like they were used before me but I should of noticed it before I walked out of the salon.
i visited this salon after my partner bought me a package deal that the salon had on offer, wow where do i start...from when i walked the receptionist was so friendly and hospitable. the salon looks amazing and the staff are extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly, it was very busy but i was still given plenty of attention and recieved 5 star treatment. my cosultation was very thorough and i was recommended the right treatments and products. the beauty rooms were very nicely set out, warm, cosy and completely relaxing. My partner could not stop raving about it either, he cant wait to come again as the massage was the best he ever had!
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for 5 star treatment with lovely thearpists and stylists. definately booking again! :)
A group of us recently treated ourselves to the excellent value spa break staying at the Radisson Blu hotel. We spent some of our stay using the 'spa' (Esporta gym within the Light complex) and the staff at the beauty salon were very friendly and fit us all in close together. The hotel is in a great spot and we had a lovely night out in Leeds. We all enjoyed having a relaxing breakfast on the Sunday morning where there was everything to choose from. A great weekend!
Balance Chiropractic is a wonderful beautiful office and Dr Hohl is understanding and really a rare gem in her field. I went to Balance for years while living in Clearwater and she also adjusted my kids which was affordable. I definitely recommend her!
I went to the Pasha Clinic for Endermologie, I wasn't told when I booked in that they would only be treating one area at a time limit of 10/15 mins per treatment instead of the usual 35/40 min treatment as per the Endermologie website. Nor was this detailed on the voucher. The staff were rude to me when i tried to book 2 sessions in on the same week, (the Endermologie website suggests 3 a week) saying that i would only need them once a week. I said but I want the twice a week, this went on for a good 5 minutes or so until they finally caved and agreed to 2 sessions a week. I should have seen that this didn't bode well for the future treatments. On my first treatment the therapist did literally 10 minutes 'Drainage' the lightest and most ineffective method available on the Endermologie machine. It took me a 2 hour round trip to get to the salon so needless to say I felt a bit cheated. I have had Endermologie before so i knew what the sensation should be like. I was asked to fill out a health form but then the printer didn't work so they scrapped that. I wasn't asked about which areas I wanted to treat or what results I wanted. I certainly wasn't offered photographs (another service offered on the Endermologie website) to show the progress I would make! Fat chance, if you'll excuse the pun! All in all, rude, ill mannered, badly trained staff who frequently switch to Turkish when they wish to discuss something that they don't want you to understand, drama's occurring in the reception area whilst you are getting treatments which necessitate the therapist going to sort it out leaving you lying on the bed with your time ticking away! Avoid, avoid, avoid!
I treated my friend to a 'spa break' at this hotel which was extremely good value for money. We received bed, breakfast and a spa treatment for £115 for two people (amazing, obviously). But I couldn't help feeling very disappointed by the 'spa'. Firstly, it's not a hotel spa; it's a gym in the same shopping centre as the hotel which happens to have a hair and beauty salon attached to it. The gym has a couple of spa facilities (e.g. swimming pool, sauna and steam rooms) but it's not what I would call a hotel spa in a million years. My friend and I had allotted most of the second day to spend at the 'spa', but were fed up after just an hour. It's really not the kind of place you'd want to hang out in and relax. The staff in the salon were lovely but I wasn't given a consultation before my massage. I was also left to wait for about 10 minutes after getting undressed and into position on the couch, which ate into my massage time. I would recommend this place if you can get a decent deal like I did but please be aware of all of the above before booking or I think you'll be disappointed.
Stayed here on a spa deal which included accommodation, dinner, breakfast and a spa treatment each. We used the swimming pool and Jacuzzi through the day, both of which were lovely. The pool isn't big and was busy with children at times, but we managed to enjoy quieter times. I had a manicure with a friendly therapist - really good job that lasted well. Will definitely book to go again if the same deal comes up.
Dirty, Small, Disorganised, DIRTY. this is a small run down nail bar on cricklewood lane and i knew the moment i walked in that it was a mistake, the whole place was filthy, and the staff were completely incompetent. I had a Universal contour wrap, which i've had before elsewhere, and it was very disappointing. my therapist didn't seem o really know what she was doing, she didn't wrap me NEARLY tight enough, and the bandages were Scalding hot so i kept having to tell her to stop (by screaming with pain!). Then i was left in a small, cramped, cold, dirty room with a dripping tap. I was only left for 30 minutes - not nearly enough time for the Wrap to work, but to be honest by that point i just wanted to get out of there!
I love the Universal Contour wrap, it really really works, just not here. I wouldn't go back if you paid me.
Before I start I should explain first that I went with a Groupon discount: "£99 instead of £450 for three cellulite-busting Velashape sessions, safely contouring the body and smoothing skin on multiple areas at Bodysmooth - Save 78%". Highlights:
* Increases lymphatic drainage and shrinks the size of fat cells and chambers in a painless and non invasive way
* This extremely popular aesthetic service is favoured by celebs and glossy publications alike
* Featured in Vogue, Oprah magazine, Wall Street Journal, National Enquirer, OK Weekly and on Dr. Phil
* Named number one procedure for cellulite in 2009 by American Health and Beauty
********************************
So needless to say I was quite excited with high hopes and expectations. But the events that followed led to dissapointment and frustration. I'm sorry Bodysmooth but this is my honest and sincere account.
1. BOOKING MY APPOINTMENTS: In my entire life full of frequent beauty treatments I have never been left so frustrated with the customer service. It was by far the worst EVER! It took me about 8 phonecalls by me, 2 emails and 2 weeks to book my appointments. I would call them, go through my voucher details and tell them when I was free to have the appointments then they would say please wait a second while I could hear customers in the venue talking to the staff trying to book their appointments. One time I was on my mobile phone for 30 mins to them, most of it waiting for them to be told they would call me back. Did they? No. I called again, same thing. What made it worse was the staff did not speak fluent English and kept asking me to repeat what I was saying (I have a standard british accent with no regional dialect or ghetto speak).
What I assume happenned was they did not anticipate the demand through Groupon and did not set a limit in number of places (unlike the smarter places) so they were overwelmed and could not cope with the high volume of calls and appointments.
2. THE VENUE: Eventually I managed to book my appointments. (2 months after I had paid btw). When I got there I was (un)welcomed by 2 rather unfriendly strange eastern european looking women in reception that did not smile and stared at me gormlessly and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. (I would just like to say in my 2 other appointments the reception staff were different each time and both considerably friendlier). I had not realised the venue was a proper clinic for liposuction type procedures so that was quite interesting. The small messy bathroom that look like no one had ever tried to hoover it did have a hidden gem however. The hand dryer machine. It was extremely powerful and entertaining to see the flesh on my hands move around. I always looked forward to my appointments so I could have another go on the hand dryer.
3. THE TREATMENT: The therapist I got was a friendly beauty conscious Indian girl. She was pleasant and it also happenned to be her first day which worried me some what but she seemed to know what she was doing. She did kind of have a go about my diet but understandably so for the procedure to have any affect. She worked the machine (which feels like a cold robbotic millipede pinching my fat) on the back and front of my thighs, belly and bum in 45 mins. In the first one she did my upper bum too but stopped after that. I couldn't be bothered to ask why. It was painful in some areas but I still found it relaxing. I was thinking about reviewing it here while I was getting it done and I have come to the conclusion that if your BMI is over 30, over a UK size 16 or have a body fat % of over 33% then I would not recommend this treatment for you. VelaShape targets only the outerlayer of fat and if you have tonnes of it its not going to do anything for you.
4. VERDICT: Overall I lost a couple of inches. I would do it again but there is no way I would pay anywhere near the full price of £150 for 45 mins. I think £33 is steep!! I'm not sure I would ever return to Bodysmooth either, they improved a lot over the course of 3 sessions but the first impression is too terrible.
Instructions on how to find the shop were not clear and when I asked the therapist she did not know how to explain to me how to get there. When I finally got to the address the number I had was a knick-knack shop and there was no sign that there was a beauty palour out the back. The girl who did the treatment was lovely but the treatment was rushed as the she was running late and she didn't even advise me to take my shoes off etc. Eye lashes look great but despite claims that they will last at least 3 weeks they started falling out a couple of days after getting them done (I followed all maintance instructions exactly) Would be mortified if I had paid full price of £99 but even £38 seems a lot for the experience I had. Would not go back to this salon again I'm afraid, just felt like you were getting it done by a mate out the back of a shop...
Myself, my two daughters, my mother and sister have been going to luci's for many years and will continue to do so. Flawless service, always greeted with happy and smiling staff and hair cuts, styles and beauty treaments never a disappointment. Great salon
I've been suffereing with back and neck pain and Saj's massage was unlike anything I've had before. I highly recommend this salon.
This is by far the best spa I have been to locally ever! Upon walking into Escape, the soft ambient music is playing and although the girls are always so busy, you are always welcomed into the spa with a friendly smiling face, always asking how I am and offering me refreshments prior to my appointment.
The spa is always so clean and tidy and I like the fact that the products they use are on show and are available to buy on the spot if you want them. I can't fault any of the girls that work there (Lucy, Kelly, Sarah and Kayleigh are my usual therapists) If you want to try somewhere new, try Escape. You won't be disappointed and I never use anywhere else now for my nail and toe gel, massage, falsh eyelashes, facials, Fake Bakes and waxing. The girls are professional and very well trained and are always so accommodating :-)
10 out of 10
My first impression upon entering the candlelit entrance of the spa was how professional everything seemed - from the elegant decor, the drinks area in the foyer and the overall service I received as soon as I arrived. It was the first time I had had beauty treatments at the spa but I was so impressed I booked my Mother-in-law various treatments for later that month and she said it was the best pedicure she had ever had! My nails look fantastic and I have 3 other treatments booked in for December. The staff were also extremely obliging as I had to change my appointment time twice. Overall I felt relaxed and comfortable in lovely surroundings.
Do not be fooled by New ID. They steal your booking fee even though you refuse to use it. This was given as a present and booked by someone else. The booking fee needed to be refunded as the person who paid was not even present. It didn't matter though, they still took the £50 from her bank account. Check your receipt before leaving as they took the refundable booking fee, (not paid by us and even though I vehemently refused to use it when asked) they went ahead and added it to the bill as if we had. But we weren't even given any extra pictures. They do not offer you your free print as stated in their advert, but fob you off with a disc and then they charge you £50 for the privelige. Their prices are ridiculous. The facial was a joke I still dont know whether I actually had one or not. If wiping your face with a cotton ball constitutes a relaxing facial then sorry, I missed it. A few swats with the make up brush later and I was told I was done. I had to ask why they hadn't touched my hair. The manicure means a slap of nail varnish and bingo! You're ready to get fleeced. Beware! New ID are con artists and they spoilt what should have been a wonderful present with their deceipt.
I had a body wrap. The young girl who wrapped me up in the mummy type bandages was very pleasant. The beauty room was in need of a face lift. I was measured pre and post treatment. Lost 1" off my bust - not so good as I have a small bust to start with. Unfortunately my stomach and legs showed little difference after the 45minute treatment.
I was very impressed with the service i received. I am use to the wax not taken off with the cloth. Having just moved here i found it hard to find a salon offering this. My friend and i both went and walked out very happy. Will be recommending.
Got a body wrap done... nothing spectacular but for the price it was pretty darn good! Would recommend this place - good and reliable. I forget my therapist's name but she was really pleasant!
This deal was really good value and the treatment was relaxing and great for my skin. Would definately do it again if I got it at the same price. The therapist I had was really nice and good at her job. Also salon was a great loction.
The therapist was definitely knowledgeable and for ten pounds it was a nice treat. The main area of the salon was pretty hectic being a hairdresser studio and the front desk was not particularly welcoming, but the beauty therapy room was nice and quiet.
The Erno Lazlo spa in Covent Garden is an oasis of calm. Tine Hagelquist is a fantastic therapist and she has a great understanding of the products and how to use them to get the best results. Lillian Gusto, the Business Manager, is professional and friendly, organising the spa and always willing to answer any questions.
Absolutely DIABOLICAL PLACE AND THEY RIP YOU OFF BIG TIME! REFUSING TO REFUND FOR PICTURES THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEND US!
The haircuts could have been done by kindergarden kids they were so awful, I grew mine especially for weeks only to have it cropped to nothing and clumps taken out! My 3 friends were nearly in tears with their poor haircuts.
The makeup was caked on and then they tried to flog us £200 quids worth of cheap stuff you could buy for a £1!
The photoshoot was a nightmare we had a certain amount of time and that was it, we never got to wear all our outfits and she didn't ask any of us how we would want to pose. Pictures had heads cut off, long pics were done when only the tops were meant to be done so we had pictures done in jeans!
We were kept hanging around all told for 7 hours whilst they blasted music out and left us sat on uncomfortable benches. The noise was so bad we asked them to turn it down but they refused and said we could go and stand outside!!!
After around 6 hours we had to keep asking how much longer it would be and we were told it was our fault for having so many pictures taken!
She then got annoyed with us when trying to choose out of 100 pics and told us to hurry up as it was getting late and she wanted to go! She was totally rude when wanting us to spend £70 on EACH PIC!
We did buy some and then she got our order wrong and didn't send 2 of the pics my mate ordered and are refusing to refund us!
They didn't photoshop all the ones we asked for so we had to wait weeks for them to arrive only to find they hadn't done all the work and had only retouched one of the 5 pics we asked for so now we have to reorder again, so they say!
They were so quick to take our order and have not produced anything professional infact many of the pics have a background of wood chip wallpaper - how not professional.
TRADING STANDARDS HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND THEY HAVE UNTIL 11AM TOMORROW TO REFUND US OR WE WILL BE TAKING THEM TO COURT AND ASKING FOR COSTS AND COMPENSATION FOR REALLY AWFUL HAIRCUTS, THE PRICE WE PAID FOR THIS SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE, AND FOR PHOTO'S WE PAID FOR AND THEY NEVER EVEN SENT!
I always go and have all my waxing and threading done there. Staff are friendly, and gave me discount on laser treatment coz i am a longterm client. They always try and fit me in for treatments and have special offers on.
I have recommended it to my friends and want to shout to the world about it, coz i dont think making urself beautiful needs to cost crazy amounts.
Lizzie gave me the best facial I have ever had! Everything was great and the Salon was friendly and very nicely done out. The only thing I would say is the Wahanda voucher said valid Monday to Sunday however treatments are not available on Sunday so if you do book Saturday night stay you have to have them on day of arrival.
Brilliant value however and I will defnitely be returning to Lizzie for a facial next time I am Leeds!
Great value for money for the weekend!! However, was a little dissapointed with the room, it definitely wasn't 5* standard.
Myself and my fiance supposedly opted for the same treatments but both had completely different experiences; my "indian head massage" was a 5 minute temple rub! The glass of a Bucks Fizz was warm and flat... The spa wasn't very relaxing as it is in a hair salon, all you could hear were conversations, hair dryers and thumping loud music which the skipping "relaxation" CD didn't really cover.
Would recommend it as a city break, the Radisson is very central, surrounded by great bars and walking distance to the lovely Park Row, but as a "spa break" it was a little dissapointing. Best part was breakfast in bed in the morning! Even if it was 20 minutes late....
I had my nails done at a Chinesr salon in Lincoln - they were a right mess and very, very thick. I went to Amethyst nails and they sorted them out for me, the gel is really good for your nails and they feel loads better. I had my toes minxed too and they are amazin! All the staff are really friendly and I have booked for my next appointment. Well recommended
I had an excellant Thai massage at tremendous valur of £30 per hour. The premsies were clean and tidy but basic as reflected in the price. the massage was very very good and sorted out all the knots and tensions in my body. the staff were professional and friendly.
I can recommend it!!
I've been here a number of times and the staff are very helpful. I started going for spray tans which always lasted over a week. Over a period of time the services offered have become more as more so now I go for my nails, eyebrows waxed and my friend has even been for a head massage. There are that many salons in Gain sborough that competition is quite fierce but I recommend this one to people at work, friends etc becasue finding a good one is quite hard
One star only applicable as you cannot give 0 stars. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Salon as I was given two dates - both of which were lost when I went into the Salon. I took one day off work, and one day at a weekend to attend, only to be sent away VERY rudely by one of the rudest and stuck up women I have ever had the displeasure of meeting in my life.
I had vouchers which have now expired - a waste of money and I would certainly recomment boycotting this place. The vouchers were a gift from my mum and I now have to tell her I wasnt able to use them.
A complete disgrace and an embarrassment to the Edinburgh beauty scene.
I have been to Tanglo many times now for various beauty/nail treatments sunbeds and spray tans. The staff are always very helpfull and friendly and not at all abrupt. It is always very clean and professional and the service and value for money is second to none. There are regular offers on treatments so you always get value for money. I will be attending again very soon!
Verity's facials are amazing. My face feels years younger when I leave her!!
Quite a few of my friends have been for makeovers and to be honest I couldn’t really understand what all the fuss was about and was certainly not particularly very interested in going for one myself but ended up not having a great deal of choice when my niece went and bought me a New ID voucher for a makeover last November.
I put the thing off and off and off but it started to get a bit embarrassing when she kept asking me when I was going to get it done so eventually I phoned them up and booked the appointment.
I was given the option of a role over deal where you pay for the pictures before hand and then on the day the New ID put in as much as you have so you get more for your money. I was not at all sure about this deal as how can you know how much you want to buy when you have not seen the pictures. I told them I would call back later and had a look at their website and then nearly keeled over when I saw the price of the pictures.
I knew there was no way I was going to get out of the thing so phoned back and put in 200 pounds so at least I would be able to buy a few if I liked the end result.
Looking back I wish that I had put in twice that amount (I am not sure if you can so if you go find out first) because all of the pictures were so fantastic I found it really hard to choose just the few that I could afford.
I would have liked to have all of them and you can get them all on CD but they are very expensive.
I think anybody who is going for or planning to go for a makeover would be well advised to check into the price first or you risk being very disappointed, as I was, only being able to purchase a fraction of the ones that you would liked to have had.
This sounds very negative but actually its testament to the amazing job that New ID do, the wonderful photography and the superb quality of the shots.
The experience was really unique and utterly fantastic and certainly the cost of the voucher is more than worth the money.
I have checked out a few others companies since I have been to New ID and the cost of the shots is comparable so I don’t think asking more than the value of the shots, it would just have been lovely to have had more of them.
I am very happy with the pictures I have got and would love to have the experience again, just take my advice and look into the cost so you are not left with less than you wanted.
This is my local beauty salon and Farah herself runs it. Its a small high street venue and looks more like a normal hairdressers from outside although I have never had my hair cut there. I have been on numerous occasions since moving to Ealing and I have to say the best thing about it is Farah who is absoloutely lovely!
She has lots of beauty qualifications for a wide range of techniques demonstrated by all her certficates on the wall.
The treatments are price competitive and there are some rarer ones they offer such as Reiki.
My personal favourites would be the Dermologica facial and back massage which are both spot on although I have had a few other fun ones like full body wrap but it wasn't as successful as I hoped but it was relaxing none the less.
You have to book well in advance though, definitely can't have a walk in treatment here. Being quite disorganised and impulsive I have not been able to get an appointment recently, just shows how pouplar they are!
Was very difficult getting through their call center to book an appointment and after several calls they were not very flexible with the appointments. The spa was good, relaxing environment and plenty of treatments offered.
Great little place! really friendly therapist. Felt pampered and the pedicure in the massage chair was sooo relaxing. will definatley be visiting again. i also had an eyelash tint which was perfect!
I am so glad that I found Maui Mobile Spa for my daughters Maui wedding! They flawlessly took care of all the details, from the private beach wedding and catering, to my daughters hair and makeup design. And of course we all got massage and organic spa treatments! We especially loved the traditional wedding henna/mehndi! I was a bit skeptical at first, but my daughter was all for it. I was stunned to see how beautiful and feminine the mehndi art was. Mahalo Maui Mobile Spa for creating a stress free, memorable celebration for our whole family!
Sincerely,
Ana Whyte
As a member of this gym for six months I regularly use the spa centre and am much more satisfied with this than the gym itself. The girls that work here are great - really friendly and chatty and do an excellent job. Although I am thinking of leaving the gym I'll def keep going to the spa - thoroughly recommended.
Body Retreat is a good local. It is inviting and not overpriced like a few other salons in the area.
All the staff are relaxed and friendly. I had a facial and universal contour wrap. Both were relaxing and the staff take good time with you. It has cosy carpeting but is quite basic wih one or two bits of attention to detail missing. Not enough hooks to hang up clothing. No robes or towels in your room. No music in the downstairs rooms so you will hear all the activity happening upstairs. One or two essential bits missing from the bathrooms. The facial room was well equipped and if you re a fan of Environ products this is the place to pick them up. No heating panels however to go with the UCWrap but I would go back again. Everything that I had, got done really nicely.
I purchased the 2 for 1 Top to Toe Spa Day package yet the whole thing was over in less than 90 minutes.
On a positive note my friend had a few problems getting to the spa and they rescheduled her sessions so she didn't miss out.
On a less positive note the therapist didn't tell me anything about the Elemis products used during the facial or why she was using them and the hot stone massage was only shoulders, neck and back.
Overall it didn't meet my expectations and I don't think it was terrific value for money.
I went to this clinic to get the Amelan treatment not long ago (few weeks). I chose this one because it was on the home website of Amelan and therefore figured it would a really profesional place with professional doctors. So I went to my first appointment in Maddox street which had been booked for 4.pm. The venue was extremely small and not professional looking whatso ever just some tiny room with aa few chairs. so I let the receptionist know my time and she told me she could not find this in the system. I told her i had personally spoken to on the phone with the Doctor in chage who had given me this appointment. She turned me away say it was actually book for 6:10pm. I was not in the mood to argue so accepted this and sat in a cafe for two hours.
I went at 6:10pm and met the doctor who casually apologised for making a mistake and I accepted it. The doctor is extremely unprofessional. She did not explain the procedure or anything as you would exept and infact encouraged me to take vitamin c injections along wth amelan. I decided to take them. she told me amelan would cost £1000 even though in most other london clinics it costs £815. I did not question this however.
So I gave her the money and later booked my apointment for the amelan. At another branch (greenlanes) which was SO difficult to find. When I was in the area I rang her to guide me and she told me "its easier if u go to maddox street branch because you won't find this one" even though I was in the area!!! I pushed her let me come to this one so she finally guided me on the phone which by the way took only a few minutes.
The greenlanes branch is like a vet, It apsolutely stank like a vet would. It was dirty, dingy and unprofessional. The doctor applied the mask WITHOUT cleansing my face (only me wipping my face with baby wipe) and applying a degreasing solution you are supposed to. SO the treatment took 5 minutes and I expected her to give me after care products something which she is supposed to since I paid for them. But she gave me none and rushed the treatment.
Every time I rang to make an appointment she would tell me casually to come anytime after a specific time. I find this extremely unprofesional.
When I came in to collect a specific after care cream she told me I was not ready for it yet , on that day she even made me take my make up of in the waiting area!!! and even though I hadn't booked an injection she told me she would do it today so i allowed her to. while she prepared again she did not cleanse my face just stuck a needle in and while she done this she was speaking to her colluegues loudly and ocasionally answering her mobile fone. the 1st injection hurt like hell so i told her to stop. She then applied the serum superficially and said next time she would use a anaesthetic. something she should have offered me THIS TIME ASWELL. she charged me FULL amount for one treatment for this treatment. I was so furiuos that she didnt firstly book a real appointment to do it and then didnt offer local anaethesia, dug a needle straight in without warning, was talking on the fone and with collegues throught it, staff members were walking in and out of the room, applied the serum superfically and then STILL charged full treatment money!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so i told her I want a refund and she sed she will only give me back some of the money :(
OVERALL: UNPROFESIONAL, NO HOSPITALITY, NO COMMUNICATION,
I absolutely loved Scin ! The clean and professional atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff...
The treatment cabins are downstairs in a calm and secluded area, away from the reception and the street noise. The premises (including toilets) are very clean. My very friendly therapist came to collect me after I had been given a questionaire to fill out by the receptionist. She put the right pressure on my back and neck for the massage, which was nice for a woman's therapist; for the facial, gave me advice on what type I should have and opted for a glycolic peel since I has been in the sun. It stung a little but I think that it was normal. My skin looked rosy and refreshed afterwards. She massaged my face also during this treatment. Very relaxing ! :o)) The cabin bathed in a nice dark atmosphere with candlelight and jazz music. I would've preferred something more "new age" so that I could've relaxed more instead of thinking of Jamie Cullum's lyrics but the sound wasn't too loud.
However, the two combined should've lasted an hour and I think that it was more like 50mn after looking at my watch.
Then, we went upstairs for the filing and polishing of my toes. Not a full pedicure but I knew that.
We chatted amiably whilst she filed and painted my toes with a beautiful Essie varnish; and since it was raining that day and I had wellies on, she sprayed a fast-drying mist on my toes and wrapped them with clear film so that they wouldn't stick to my socks - and they didn't ! It's been 5 days and my toes still look fabulous !
I had to remind the therapist about the £10-worth of Murad merchandise and she handed me a small tube of SPF30 for my face; that was the only disappointing moment for I don't think that this little sample was worth £10. I was expecting more of a selection of mini Murad products to try out so that I could perhaps buy them later...
But overall, I am very pleased with the SCIN experience and cannot wait to use my 2nd voucher next month for another rejuvenating pick-me-up.
It was the perfect way to end an otherwise miserable rainy Saturday afternoon.
The staff are very friendly and helfpul. They meet you on time take straight to the treatment room. They leave to give you time to prepare yourself for the facial and then enter after first requesting if it is ok to enter the room first. Facial was relaxing and well explained.
I loved the massage, the facial and the little extra indian head. I love that the therapist was really experienced and allowed me to relax throughout the whole treatment and appropriately at the end when she was painting my nails had a little chat. Overal a really lovely experience and I would defo return. Thank you Amida.
I went here 7 times the summer of 2009 before my wedding. I got the detox bridal package that included a dermalogica facial and 5 Ionitherme sessions. I also got a manicure and pedicure. Sally (the owner & head therapist) is delightful. She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and wonderful to be around. Not only did the Ionitherme make me feel detoxified but it also did wonders for toning my arms, legs, bum & belly. My friends all commented that it looked like I'd been working out but I hadn't it was all Sally and the Ionitherme. If this spa was closer to where I live/easier to get to then I would go here a lot more often as I got great results with the treatments.
This is relaxing, calm, great therapists, wonderful cafe with fabulous food and tea and coffee, had a fabulous day with my friend! Would recommend this place to absolutely anybody - great for men and women.
We were made to feel welcome at the SPA and only had to wait a short while upon arrival. Unfortunately it hadn't been pointed out to us when booking the appointment that the manicure (we had the choice of two treatments) would be damaged when using the thermal spa afterwards and due to their busy schedule we couldn't change the time slots anymore. Instead we were offered to have a manicure but without colour application. The facial was very basic but relaxing and the use of the spa afterwards was enjoyable. The staff were very friendly throughout and not pushing for the sale of any of the products used. The deal was good value for money but I wouldn't do it again for the full price.
Me & my friend went to luci's for the first time the end of june. It was my brothers wedding so i booked for us to have our eyebrows waxed, nails done and hair and make-up!
The service was flawless! We where served hand and foot, drinks where offered, busicuits, i even had a cup cake! We had a lovely morning!
my theropist danielle was lovely she really made me feel relaxed whilst i was having my treatments.
We had Annastajia and dana to do our hair and make-up! It was beautiful we both felt amazing! And for such affordable prices too!! Cant fault it we will be returning and passing the good word on!! :) Thanks girls x x x x x
Amazing!! I Love my hair its stunning :)!
My Stylist was lovely and my waxing treatments actually wern't painfull!
I had my hair coloured and whilst the colour was taking i had my waxing done !!
Love It Ive been several times and i will continue too ! ! X x X x X
I booked the luxurious relaxing massage and it was heaven! The scrub and massage was amazing and the facial was the perfect way to end the treatment. I felt so relaxed and pampered. I will definately be visiting again.
A group of us decided to get pedicures done as a group so when the 2 for 1 deal came up we jumped at the chance. However we found this more suited single people as opposed to a group. At this salon there are only 2 treatment rooms and so 2 therapists so we had to split up and do it 1 by 1 as opposed to being seen at the same time. Where the pedicure is concerned I prefer sitting in the large chair that gives you a back, bum and thigh massage while getting the pedicure done however, this salon you lay down on the treatment table while bending your knees and putting your feet in an average foot spa which was awkward at times. Aside from that the therapist was very nice and set the scene by dimming the lights, using fragrance oils and playing relaxing music. She also gave a really nice foot massage and had a very steady hand and gave me a perfect french nail polish. I wish I could remember her name as my friend that was with the other therapist said there was no music, fragrance, dim lighting and virtually no massage and talked about her problems in life the whole way through!
If i could i would give this a 0 rating - this salon is the rudest place i have ever been to the staff were unhelpful and unkind i felt uncomfortable and did not enjoy my time at all. The was also a dispute over teh price as they OVERCHARGED!!!! Do not buy any gift vouchers my friend got one as a gift and they said after 12 weeks it had expired and they would not give her anything in return! it was only out of date by 2 weeks. Totally appauling!
i had a facial with michelle lee and was really excited! i hadnot really heard of a mobile spa before, and i met the owner of the company while out a few days before my appointment. i had my facial on this past sunday (April 25) and michelle came to my house with everything. it was kind of messy, but she reminded me that i was to relax and enjoy myself. she was very professional. she does this thing like finger pressure on the face and it really helped with my headache. i will definitely try this company again, and it helped that the tip was already included. i didnt feel awkward about how much to give her!
This is the most amazing Spa I ever been!!!!! Everything was perfect!!! the bar's menu was amazing. I had this delicious drink, sorry I forgot the name!!! is a must!!
Therapist was excellent, had hot stone massage, paraffin wax wrap for feet, elemis facial and scalp massage. Top to Toe 2 for 1 deal is excellent value and you can relax in candlelit room afterwards with a juice or fruit tea. Definitely recommend it after a day's shopping!
Really enjoyed my spa/pamper day at the Spirit Health Club, Fareham. The staff were always enthusiastic and happy to help, the facilities clean and organised. Used the gym, pool, sauna and jacuzzi but they also had studio classes, free weights and a steam room that I didn't get round to. Had 2 treatments- a manicure and a facial, which were great. My other half had a back neck and shoulder massage which he really enjoyed too. The hotel was lovely and we had a nice lunch. The bartender went above and beyond the call of duty, going out of his way to give us discount which I didn't even know we were entitled to! If we lived closer I would have signed up straight away for membership as the experience was faultless.
Value for money, great parking on site. Therapist very friendly and extremely good at back massages!
I went with a friend on my birthday and although the website exagerates the beauty of the pool (as in fact it is rather small) overall it was a nice treat.
Saturnia è il massimo che si possa desiderare per il proprio benessere. i massaggi sono divini, la piscina è paradisiaca e poi il cibo.... semplicemente meraviglioso!!
Grazie Francesca per la segnalazione.
I went into Luci Foreman for a hollywood wax, the therapist made the experience very comfortable.
They give you paper pants to wear so that you don't end up spoiling your own underwear.
I was very pleased with th e results, they were very thorough but also they were quick and made it bearable.
The smooth finish lasted for around 6weeks that i was very impressed with.
All of the girls that work there are very accomodating and they all look lovely with their red lipstick.
I will definately be reccomending this salon to everyone i know
i visited this spa for a number of treatments over the course of about a year-i loved everything about this spa,it is a relaxing haven of peace and tranquility,and one of my favourite things is the sauna-free if you book another treatment-£10 otherwise.theres full use of walk-in shower,includes aromatherapy shower gels/shampoos etc,towels/robes/slippers provided.also soft drinks,fruit/herbal teas,bowl of fruit provied free.WONDERFUL! I only stopped going because i moved out of county,and havent found anything as nice since!only critisism may be,that some of the treatments could be viewed as a bit pricey for the area-but on a whole MOST of the treatments are worth it.
What I really loved about this spa is that it has managed to make you feel really welcomed and relaxed but at the same time delivered treatments to a superb standard. Other spas I have visited sometimes can feel a little bit unfriendly - not so here. My therapist Lynsay was fab - she has great hands. I look forward to going back soon for some more luxury. Can't wait.
Felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. Greeted by friendly staff, shown into restaurant for a drink and welcome chat.
The spa was lovely, extremely clean and soothing on the senses.
Excellent treatments - went home feeling a million dollars
I have recently moved to the area and was looking for a new salon to go to when i came across this one. I was immediately struck by how professional it looked. Also the prices are very low so i thought i would just double check that thats what they were!
They have paid attention to detail which in my experience goes a long way.
You get a lovely warm welcome and a feeling of relaxation as you enter the salon and you feel as though you are being well looked after even though they were very busy when i went in i still felt like they were making sure that i got exactly what i wanted, right down to how i liked my cup of tea!
im very pleased with everything that i had done with this salon and am glad that i chose this for my first salon to try, i wont be going anywhere else now!
I will definately be recommending this salon to everyone.
We had a lovely day at Chelsea Harbour Spa. Our treatments were lovely and the therapists were very knowledgeble and chatty.
We had use of the pool and steam rooms and apart from some swimmers had them to ourselves for the afternoon.
Lunch was included in our package and there was a great choice.
The only negative comment I have to make is that some of the walls in the treatment rooms were quite dirty with greasy marks on them but overall an excellent experience for an excellent price.
Unfortunately I have not experienced the spa side at Ocean terminal but I did visit the salon side for a back massage. Freindly staff made me feel welcome and my therapist was very nice and gave me a fantastic back massage. great to pop in when the shopping bags are getting a bit too heavy great way to take a wee break.
The club has been through a fantastic transformation and the treatment area is lovely. All the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the place really has a lovely atomosphere. Rachel is the beauty therapist - I had a fab manicure with great attention to detail. As you would expect the classes are taught by extremely qualified and professional instructors. Value for money, great atomosphere and wow what an amazing place that you would never expect behind small doors!!
Ive been going to russell eaton for about 20 year and over that time ive always been very satisfied and never had a bad cut or colour!
We had a fantastic time at the Club. Staff were very friendly and polite without being too stiff and proper. The only thing I can mark down is the lunch voucher - not really enough to cover a good meal but I suppose ok if you just fancy a snack - this wasn't made clear in the booking procedure. Also, the fresh towels ran out by poolside. Big negative because we couldn't dry off before our second treatment. Would definitely go back if we had a similar off.
I have been going to Elements Spa Since its opening In 2001. As i live nearby and have always recieved Gift Voucher for special occasions from family & Friends. Over the years i have had all Treatments listed on the current price lists and have been extremely satisfied with ever service recieved.
I was browsing online to purchase a gift voucher for a friend who lives else where, i happened to notice Elements Spa was on this website and takes wahanda vouchers. I was very suprised to see the previous review as i have too had the indian head massage sat up and i much prefer this method as the whole of the head neck and shoulder is covered as when i have been else where and laid down i have been disappointed as the nape of the neck and back of scalp is always missed.
Over these years i have introduced many family, friend & collegues to Elements Spa and never recieved negative feedback. The Family run buisness has an extremely good reputation in the local area and provides a warm welcome every visit.
I can highly recommend Rhian Thomas from Oh So Lovely. Rhian has worked with our company - Linda Hill Recruitment as a temp for 2 years. Her standard of treatments and professionalism was evident in the request bookings we received. At Oh So Lovely Rhian delivers a 5 star service to ensure clients receive the best treatment experience.

Fantastic ambience, great decor, lovely rooms and a great relaxation area, treatments are superb & the staff we the best I have come across for a long time, considerate, caring and knowledgeable and I was not rushed out of the door after my treatments. BEST DAY SPA,
Dont take my word for it TRY IT YOURSELF!!!!!
I went to Suqqu for consultation because i have a friend from Japan who worked there and she was exceptional. The treatment is short because is in a counter in the Living Beauty Area in Selfridges but being short does not mean mediocre is the best massage for 3 minutes i ever had and also is redeemable against products, Priceless!!!!!
A warm welcome, followed by excellent food and wine combined with superb service and the accompaniment of classical and contemporary tunes played on the Grand Piano by a very talented young lady, made my first visit to this hotel a refreshing change to the usual fare on offer close by. I will certainly be back !!
Cosmo is a hair salon, with a day spa above. It is not a fancy spa, however it has all of the usual offerings. It is nice, however do not expect to go to a traditional spa - it is more of a in and out for treatments - not a whole day kind of place. The location is easily accessable and the therapists are extremly qualified, friendly and good at what they do. I have had massages and waxing done in the spa, and my hair colored and cut regularly in the hair salon. The service and quality of treatments recieved has always been spot on and exactly what I have asked for.
