Arriving in Kensington High St. I expected at the very least a quality beauty salon. So, to be faced with the basement of Superdrug, and when I got there, the very back area which was a couple of rooms made out of partition board and a small desk with a computer on it, I was quite surprised. My surprise turned to shock when, after a 40 min journey to the venue I needed to use the bathroom, and was told that they do not have that facility there and I had in fact to go over the road and use the public toilet in M&S. Needless to say the appointment did not start well. After my venture to M&S (thanks M&S for that!) I returned to have my treatment (microdermabrasion). I cannot say that the treatment went well, I have a personal microderm at home which, in all honesty, does a better job than the machine which they had. It was not in my opinion microdermabrasion and I was so disappointed with the whole process that I didn't return for the 2nd or 3rd (paid for) appointments. I will not even bother to talk abou the staff. Would not, could not recommend to anybody.

I am in my thirties and have suffered from adult acne for some years. I purchased three sessions of Microdermabrasion (at a great value price) and having nearly finished these sessions I can highly recommend how great they have been. They have made a massive difference to my skin and I have had a considerable amount of less spots.

The venue is ideally located in Leeds Centre and has a great relaxing ambience. The therapist is brilliant - friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. They have a great system to remind you about appointments too.

I cannot recommend Cosmeodcotor highly enough and I will certainly by looking on her to book other offers from them in the future.

I have been having regular facials at Rani Mirza for about the last 4 four years. Prior to that, I had had facials maybe once a year as no matter what salon I went to I never found that they made a visible difference and was always suspect as to their benefits. All that changed when I went to Rani - people (who were unaware that I had had a facial) kept commenting on how glowing and radiant my skin looked. After having red carpet facials, I have also been asked by friends (on more than one occasion) whether I have had botox because my lines disappear and my skin looks so perfect!

The deep cleanse and red carpet facials are one and a half/two hours of pure relaxation and pampering. I am a lawyer who works long hours in a stressful job - The salon and treatment rooms are serene and the atmosphere is relaxed - I frequently fall aleep during my facials and always leave at the end of the treatment not only with fresh skin but feeling rejuvinated and a great deal calmer than when I arrived.

The products Rani uses are top notch and Rani and her team of facialists really are at the top of their game - I trust them implicitly with my skin and their advice on what products to use. They are friendly and knowledgable but never pushy when it comes to buying products. They are also very accommodating when it comes to having to rearrange appointments etc.

I would not consider going anywhere else for my facials and the other treatments I have at Rani Mirza -and I would not hesitate in recommending Rani Mirza.

I went for my apointment 2 weeks ago, and was happy with the treatment

There clinic is in The Tanning Shop downstairs, there was no reception area there so when i went downstairs i wasn't sure what do to i just sat down hoping someone would eventualy come. I was waiting for about 10 minutes then the therapist came out from one of the rooms, she greeted me and asked me to fill in a form. Once that one done we went into the room she asked if i've had this treatment done before, she explaind the whole process in detail, then we got started. Ive have this treatment before but not the diamond one which is a bit courser granules but by no means painfull.

i found it a plesant experience and look forward to my next one, the therapist was very nice, helpfull and chatty

I have been going to this small, welcoming salon regularly for more than a year. They are due to expand fairly soon and need encouragement.

When I have been having treatments I am a bit of a watcher, everyone there seem to be happy and pleased with the results, whether it was hair or nails or pedicure or massage.

On the odd occasion when a client wanted a slight change to the haircut, the stylist was only too happy to oblige, so that everyone was happy. I know with me and haircuts I just leave it to the expert but many people know what they want which is great and helpful to the stylist. iF ANYONE HAS A COMPLAINT is best to deal with it there and then and not go home and get frustrated or upset.

I can't understand some of the comments on here as Tina the Manager is extremely approachable and happy to discuss the clients requirements before the treatment begins.

During last year I was not in a good place but after several sessions of Indian Head Massage I was able to see light at the end of the tunnel.

The groupon deals I have had have been good and have given me a taster of whats available. Since then I have had Hotstones massage which is fabulous. I could go on and on as I am so impressed with the treatment that I have had there. I have seen first hand that everyone is made welcome when they arrive- all precautions are taken to ensure the right treatment or products are given.


MY EXPERIENCE AT INNERSPIRIT HAS BEEN AMAZING.

My skin looked really good afterwards and the explanation behind the treatment was really interesting.

I did go on to buy a course of treatments, that said I also felt a little bit pressured to buy something, there was a lot of sales talk included in the process, which did make me a bit uncomfortable.

I had booked for MIcrdermabrasion, Glyco Peel and derma treatment, in a package called Look 10 Years Younger.

When I went to book, I was told that I had to buy some face cleanser to use, before I could have the peel. This wan't explained in the offer and a bit annoying if you think you only have to go one day for the whole package. The treatement was done in 2 days with a few weeks inbetween each one.

Treatments were good though

If you have ever been unlucky to be diagnosed with Cancer you are not welcome at Destination Skin . Been in remission for 18 months but refused treatment for a pampering facial due to this previous unfortunate illness . Shocking !!! They expect you to provide a doctors letter 18 months on !!!! . I felt ashamed and i had had the plague !! . Don t you think i have been though enough and deserve some pampering ?? I have been having facials for the past year at lots of different salons and never never been asked to provide a letter regarding my health they have accepted my word . The last thing you want when you feel yuk is a facial believe me i know

PERFECT PEDICURE! Came to the salon at the end of April for a pre holiday pedicure- with Louise, the service provided was great. I was made to feel at home straight away, the pedicure was done to a very high standard. I also noticed they have started to do Microdermabrasion and booked my self in for a session, the consulation was very in-depth asking questions about my lifestyle, skin concerns etc. The treatment it self is very relaxing, and I was given excellent aftercare. I would 100% recommend Heaven at Number 7 and will be returning very soon.

This is the second package I bought for Microdermabrasion at Cosmedoctor. Booking is painless and I love the confirmation and reminder by email. The New Facilities at the Tanning shop are an upgrade from the Superdrug location. Very clean and relaxing. I have had different therapists and everyone is nice and professional. Overall a very good experience. In fact I am buying a 10 sessions course.

the staff are very friendly and have good knowledge and qualifications. it's a new place so they are still organising themselves but there is no heating in some of the treatment rooms and it was freezing during my treatment. they should prvovide electric heaters if the heating is not workiong very well.
as for the treatment - depends who does it.I am sure It's meant to be longer that the less than 10 mins I got for the second time. However I ma sure that if I had said something it would have been longer.
in general it's a good value for money with vouchers and girls there are really nice.

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 recently found out about microdermabrasion, being a big fan of trashy magazines I read how it was the new rage in Hollywood. Being susceptible to all the crap I read I had to go try it out, I was actually amazed at how great it really was. It's like exfoliating but on a whole new level. It literally felt like 2 layers of dead skin had been removed from my face leaving behind the smoothest softest freshest layer I have seen in years. Even my husband noticed and claimed I looked 'youthful' that day and he never notices anything anymore ;p Anyways, after having had my skin consultation the procedure began. i went for the 45 min. session but am quite eager to try out the longer one, can't remember how long it was off the top of my head. But I really would recommend everybody try this procedure especially if you're already an exfoliater, there is nothing like it out there....trust me!!

Love having this treatment and being able to buy courses on the special offer is great. The salon is small but nice and the therapist are all friendly and know what they are doing. Had to wait 15 mins at my last appointment, which was a bit annoying but it happens, would have been nice if therapist was able to pop out to let me know that she was running behind but guess that isn't always possible if in the middle of a treatment, there is no reception so this also doesn't help either and when you arrive you aren't always too sure they know your there.

This place needs a new 'receptionist' and better customer service.

You have to call the number on the website to book which is a mobile of a girl who always sounds like she is on the bus or out and about... which could explain why the past two times I have been here the appointments have been double booked/forgotten about.

The actual therapist is not apologetic about this, and last time accused me of just turning up. She was chewing gum the whole time she was doing my facial and I found her manner quite rude, not at all relaxing as you expect with a facial!

Very frustrating that you cannot book your next appointment when you are there as I was supposed to have my facials 10 days apart but every time I called to book no availability for a month at a time.

Booked a course of 3 micro derm last December and bought another set of 3 plus the Vit C at the end of my third treatment during their January offers sale. I have to say my skin looks fresher and brighter after the third Vit C peel. Yes, the Vit C peel does sting, but I noticeably saw the difference. Each time, the therapist would ask how my skin has reacted to the previous session, and each time she adapted the treatments so that I got the best out of it (I started by having teh Vit C first then the derm, but my skin worked better with the derm first then the peel). I have to say during the six treatments I have had, I had the pleasure of three different therapists, but by far, Lucie was the best! She didn't even try the hard sell at the end of my sessions, so neat and tidy in her work and really nice...I would definitely look out for more sessions, and book more during their offers/sales times....!!

I first visited this place after I bought a pamper voucher off Wahanda.

Firstly, when I arrived, I was most pleased by the ample free parking adjacent to the salon.

On entry, the salon was clean, bright and well kept. I met my therapist Sarah who took me to one of the treatment rooms to explain the package.

To be completely honest, when I book things and I get a very good deal, my expectations are lowered by my "you get what you pay for" mentality. Imagine my surprise at not only meeting a therapist who is resolutely passionate about her work, but also having the ability of making you feel completely at ease instantly.

The room was lovely and warm (towels on the ready on the radiator) and my treatments began.

Everything about it was sublime. I felt like I was in there for more than the two hours. Every treatment I had (massage, body wrap, micro dermabrasion facial, eye treatment, eyebrow tinting and threading - i think there may have been more but I was in relax central so can't remember) was perfect.

I struggle to find a really masseuse but Sarah really knows her stuff and worked those knots out like a dream.

I have since been back for more micro dermabrasion facials and I also have a massage booked for the next visit.

Easy to find location in Kensingston, minutes from the tube station.
Easy to book in for microdermabrasion. It was explained that the first appointment would be slightly longer, as it involved a skin consultation.
Although the address is a tannning salon, you go down stairs to a well presented area for treatments.
It was my first microdermabrasion treatment, but it certainly will not be the last.It feels strange, but not painful, like a very gentle suction over your skin. Afterwards my skin looked very clear.
Have already booked a second treatment.

i have been here a few times now, its not the most luxurious ie celeb glamour its a standard decor place but the results of this treatment are amazing even after 1 my skin was glowing, seemed new and fresh, my pores were refined and i looked younger and healthier.

i suffer with acne and have some mild acne scarring and it makes it less visible, my foundation goes on a lot smoother and i have no dry/oily patches as it evens my skin tone.

they therapist showed me what came out of my skin and along with the dead skin cells i could see that it had removed clogged pores so stops me getting any blackheads or spots.

I have been attending Waterside Aesthetics for over 3 years now, and have recommended Waterside to many, many friends.
I have had many treatments, ranging from Peels, to Botox, Filllers, Sculptra and more recently a Micro Lift. I can honestly say, i would not hesitate to recommend the staff, advice, and treatments i have had I have always been given, honest advice, and been treated as an individual, resulting in what i can honestly say, has been excellent results in whatever i treatment i have had.
All staff have been nothing but helpful, friendly, and proffessional in both their work, and attitude to myself. Nothing is too much trouble here, you are treated with the upmost care, and discretion.
Helen has treated me for botox, fillers, and sculptra, and initially when i first went to see her, rectified someone elses bad Botox job, i had had, and as a result i would not let anyone else near me with a needle !!
Jo, has performed many great treatments, my latest being the Obagi Blue Peel, which i would highly recommend, along with the Obagi Skin Care System.
In Feb 2012, i had a Micro Lift at Waterside, which i am over the moon with, and has taken away my jowls, and i have rediscovered my jaw line !!
All my recommendations, ie friends, will not go anywhere else now, and neither would i.

I bought the microdermabrasion (set of 3, I've had two so only 1 to go) and I had previously purchased one microdermabrasion from Cosmedoctor before. The venue is basic but very clean (although it has now moved to another location but I haven't been there yet); the staff are always very friendly, put you at ease, and provide helpful advice about treatments and skin care, without trying to sell you something; the microdermabrasion treatment is painless, and although I get a bid red afterwards that's normal for some people. I also tend to break out a bit too (again, normal for some people apparently), and I'm still not sure if it is making a difference to my skin, but they say treatments on a regular basis is required, so perhaps I just have to persist.

I purchased a deal for 3 microdermabrasion treatments and so far had two of them: the first one at the old location inside Superdrug and the last session at the new place where the salon moved few weeks ago. While facilities at Superdrug were very basic, the new location is a lot better. My therapist was very good, friendly, professional and efficient. It was easy to book appointments and they keep to schedule.

I went to Cosmedoctor at SuperDrug in High Street Kensington. The facilities were clean and efficient but not very soothing. In the treatment room they have a central light, very bright in my eyes so was not very relaxing. But the staff were very helpful and quick when I made the reservations (in person and on the phone). Also I got confirmation and reminder via email for each appointment that is always very helpful;. When I arrived for the appointments they were always on time. The treatments (three sessions of microdermabrasion) and the therapist were excellent and I am seeing results so I booked another course of 3. They have moved now to another location just around the corner so facilities and ambience might get better.

The staff were friendly, however they changed my appointment just a few hours before I was coming for the session, which was an inconveniance for me. The therapist seem to be knowledgebe and willing to share her expertise without being pushy selling products. The diamond microdermoabrasion was a real treat! All in all with a wahanda voucher it's a very good deal.

Excellent treatment today which I thoroughly enjoyed. Sarah was a superb masseeuse and made me feel so relaxed. She explained exactly what she was going to do and was very easy to chat with, really friendly. The treatments I had were: body wrap, back and shoulder massage, microdermabrasion, eyebrow threading, eyebrow and eyelash tint and collagen for the eyes. I feel 10 years younger and am looking forward to treating myself again here in the future. I can happily recommend the salon and the treatments.

I felt taken care of from start to finish of my visit to the beauty salon. The lady on Reception was cordial and warm.

The therapist was extremely knowledgable and asked me relevant questions about my skin routine and made suggestions for how to maximise the results after the treatment.

My skin was red post treatment but that is because my skin is ultra sensitive. It did not hurt at all and was very relaxing actually. The day after it felt soft and all the dry patches were gone and it looked glowing. I would definitely have the treatment again and at the same place. I think the three treatments would have been better than one in hindsite but I wanted to try it out.

The clinic is conveniently located in House of Fraser in Westfield, White City. So very close to Shepherd's Bush Station.
The downside of it being located in House of Fraser is that you need to use their toilets, the nearest one being the disabled one which was filthy.
I had the vitamin C skin peel (set of 3) but was pleased to be offered a deal for Microdermabrasion to compliment the skin peel. The session starts with a skin analysis under UV light which is great and slightly horrifying at the same time.
The therapist accuratley explained the procedures, how it would feel, what to expect etc
I did feel like there was a bit of a sell on their products at the end, but they were in the January sale.
Overall it was a pleasant treatment and the location is really handy so I'm happy to return.

When I arrived I had stirred some confusion by phoning first to cancel it...but later on I could make it anyway. When I got there it was easy to find and plenty of place to park in front of the nail salon.

But the picture they have on the website of Wahanda is not the same one what the actual thereapy room is like... a but more plain and simple really just a room in a nail salon.

Very friendly helpfull staff. There was some confusion about my appointment time as mine was 17.30 in my diary but they had 5 o clock in their books. So I would miss out on a part of my treatment the bodywrap...but Sarah who treated me was really friendly and did give me the bodywrap experience with the coconut smell cream on my legs and arm... with an extra massage! Was very nice.

Microdermabrasion experience different at first but quite enjoyed the sandingpaper exfoliation feeling!

Back neck shoulder massage was lovely and relaxing.

Very polite staff. Thanks

Since it opened I have seen Exclusive Beauty develop and respond to the needs of people like me who wish to maintain a healthy body and appearance using a range of modern techniques and equipment in a friendly and ethical environment. This family run business takes a real pride in the services it offers. They always have time for me and I find the personal attention to detail from the staff and the immaculate surroundings so relaxing that I leave feeling like a new person. When our teenage nephew developed facial complexion problems, typical of boys of his age, my wife and I suggested treatment at Exclusive Beauty for his birthday present and the results were lasting and clear to see. I have recommended Exclusive Beauty to all my friends and I am so pleased to be able to do so again to a wider audience through this forum.

Microdermabrasian is brilliant for the skin if it does in the right way and Skin Spa really does. The therapists do seem to provide different facial services so make sure you ask for extraction and for the cooling down mask at the end. If your skin is a little sensitive it might come up a bit red but this is normal and worth it for the smooth skin!

I visited CosmeDoctor on High Kensington this morning. I was sincerely appalled with the level of service received today. Both of the beauticians (one blonde caucasian, one mixed race brunette) where unbelievably rude, unhelpful or apologetic.

Upon my arrival I was required to wait for the two colleagues to finish their personal conversation before being approached and acknowledged. I arrived seven minutes late to my to my nine o'clock appointment for a Microdermabrasion due to an unexpected bus diversion in Notting Hill coming from Ladbroke Grove. The employee who conducted my treatment informed me that she would only be able spend twelve minutes with me as she was expecting another customer at 9.30am. Thus, I required if I could possibly reschedule my treatment at a more suitable time upon which the other consultant rudely said 'No!' and that I would 'lose the appointment, so it is better to do something today'. I wasn't even on the treatment table for eleven minutes when I found myself being ushered out of the room. When inquiring about booking a follow-up consultation both assistant took to their mobile phone devices in another private conversation; 'Yay! I've received a text!' , before I was able to book my next appointment for the 16th February. Furthermore, I was overtly shocked to see that there was not yet another customer waiting to be seen as of yet, as it was very early in the morning a evidently extremely quite.

Having left the salon extremely infuriated, angry and impossibly disappointment with my treatment today and the service. I am honestly dreading to return for a follow-up procedure. Although, I bought the Microdermabration package at a discounted rate, I am still a paying customer whatever the price and have thus, paid for a service that I have yet to experience fully. Also, having previously worked in retail and with customer service myself, I am sincerely disgusted with how I have been treated today and would never recommend anybody to ever undergo a procedure at this salon, EVER!

I usually don't complain, but I just had to after my visit to Elegance Beauty.

I bought a voucher for 6 microdermabrasion sessions and had my first one booked in a few weeks ago.
First of all I had to wait for 20 min to be seen, and as I was waiting one of the staff asked me to move as she was hoovering the waiting area. When I was finally seen, the "therapist" did NOT clean my face, she only spritzed some water and dried with a tissue. I wear a lot of make up during the day due to my skin problems, so this meant that she was peeling my skin with my make up on...
I thought this was very odd and yesterday when I went for a skin consultation with another salon I asked about this and the lady said that the skin needs to be completely clean before the microdermabrasion!
My skin was flaking and was very red for one week after the visit and even though this can be normal I'll be asking for my money back!
Avoid!

A great-value deal, though you'd have to be mad to pay full price for it, as it wasn't worth anything like that! Five treatments, all of which were nice, but because they're all done at the same time it only actually takes 75 mins - over £100 for that would be ridiculous! I was very very pleased with the eyebrow shape. The massage was nice. The body wrap wasn't really a wrap - a bit of stuff on my arms and legs and a sheet over the top of me while the other treatments were carried out - I'd never pay anything to have that "wrap" again. The microdermibrasion was quite effective, but very quick - again I wouldn't pay full price for that ever. The therapist was lovely. It's just a room in a nail salon, but then for £29 I wouldn't expect more. A good deal if you want to try some treatments or just have a little pamper. I left feeling relaxed and that I'd treated myself. Very pleased, and were the offer permament I'd go back again and again for it, but wouldn't pay full price for any of the treatments.

I booked a course of 3 microdermabrasions. The first time, although I wasn't too sure what to expect as it was my 1st microdermabrasion ever, I was quite disapointed, the therapist (don't know her name) was not too informative about the procedure which lasted only 20 minutes instead of 30 (she was a bit late). All the way through the radio was playing BBC2 with christmas adverts and talks which I though was not the most appropriate choice but I could go with it. The treatment itself, well, I didn't fell the sligtest discomfort (odd!) the therapist put a glycolic cream/gel on may face prior the microdermabrasion and some cream after.
There is no mirror in the room I don't understand the reason, so I asked for one to see the result. My skin was slightly glowing but nothing amazing.
My next appointment 2weeks later was with Nicola and she was excellent! The treatment lasted the 30 minute expected and it was rather uncomfortable but bearable after the treatment she applied a soothing cream on my face with a soft brush left it for a couple of minute then clean my face again did some extraction (didn't have any of those 2 steps the first time) and finaly apllied a nourishing cream.
That time my face was very slightly red but looked really fresh, glowing and was so soft. I was so happy that I book 1 extra course of 2 treatment!
I went again 2 weeks late, with the same therapist ;). I'm very pleased with the reasult my skin is really soft and clean.

This was my first time buying from Wahanda,before l could bring myself to buy this amazing deal. l was very apprehensive about it. Then rang the salon the manager sarah answered the phone after having a conversation with sarah, she made me feel at ease. Straight away l booked myself the 10 years younger deal. On the day of my booking 5.01.12 l took a wrong turning and ending up late. Sarah ran me told the situation again relaxed me was very helpful. Finally arrived sarah explained what will be happening, talked me through the whole time what she is applying.(OK better stop and not write a assay) Overall loved the experience that windy morning, totally relaxed, that I`ve booked the pampering inc 5 treatment and a chemical peel. My face feels a bit sore but sarah explained that happens after a chemical peel my face looks alot smoother. Cant wait for my next treatment even though it`s an hours drive it`s worth it.

Friendly lady with a wealth of knowledge. Has a really nice room from home. With skin clinics that I had recently visited (as I had been recommended them) I found that they were really pushy with sales and getting as much out of me as they could but this was not the case here. Had diamond dermabrasion which I was apprehensive about as I had been advised crystal is better but my skin was really soft after. Good massage, felt relaxed and all the tension in my back felt drained away. I have made an appointment to go back later this month. Not expensive, nice surroundings, good service.

This visit was a disaster from start to finish, firstly my friend and I planned a two day pamper time away. We booked it together so there was no hiccups and we both new what we were doing. So when we turned up at glow to be told we had the wrong time did not go down well bearing in mind we had a tight schedule. We questioned it of course but they were adamant, so it was a quick snack instead of a relaxing lunch for us. When we went back again we were kept waiting but eventually taken upstairs to a dingy grubby looking area to have our fish pedicure. we were given a grubby well worn pair of slippers to put on to which both turned our noses up, the therapist was not very cheerful and certainly did not make us feel relaxed, having had this before I was aware of the do's and don't's and contraindications, she didn't advise us with any of them. She left us to 'enjoy' the experience then Ali (my friend) noticed a dead fish in her tank!! when the therapist came by we mentioned this to her and she said she had thought she had got them all out, to which she removed it and we then listened to the toilet being flushed! ....lovely! After that we then we were both having a microdermabrasion facial, to which there seemed to be some whispering as to who could do it and where as they seemed to have only one of us booked in! To cut a long and what could get even more boring story short, yes we both had the facials, we had to wait for each other, we both had different therapist doing different parts of it, so the door was opening and closing, so laid there in a dark room no knowing who was coming in next to take over.
I'd also like to add, if like me you struggle with mobility, walk with a stick etc it's not a good place to be, had I known I would have not booked here, the salon is on the first floor, then there was another flight of stairs up to the fish pedicure. Also to gain entrance to the salon you have to ring an intercom to which you were greeted with a grunt as if you were an inconvenience certainly not the welcome I had hoped for.
I think it's fair to say, I would not recommend this salon nor would we ever use it again. Therefore its a 'OH NO from us!

I am doing microdermabrasion treatments for about a year already but at Queensway venue I found a most professional therapist so far. I bought 3 sessions and completed two so far with the same therapist. She said that for 30 years she is in this industry and I could really feel that. She asked lots of questions about my everyday facial routine and gave a few very helpful advices on how I can make some improvements. Usually I know what to expect from this treatment but I was very pleased with the result. She concentrated on the most needed areas and just gently went on sensitive ones.
I would continue my treatments with her on the regular bases; especially the location of the salon is so convenient.

I bought 3 microdermabrasion treatments through Wahanda. When I called to book my first appointment I was lucky enough to be offered one on the same day. The staff were friendly & professional and the venue clean and comfortable. I'd had MD before so the therapist didnt spend too much time discussing the procedure with me. She did, however, make time to discuss other options with me after the treatment, without it being a hard sell. The results were what I'd expected after a 30mins session - brighter, smoother, clearer looking skin. I'm looking forward to my second session and I think I'm also going to buy the cleanser she recommended.

First of all, i had some difficulties to book my appointment as the booking system was down and as a result I couldn't get the appointment until after several weeks. I had two microdermabasion sessions that were both done really quickly (abount 15 minutes per session) and in all honesty i couldn't notice any difference at all. I have had microdermabrasions before and have been really pleased with them but can't the say the same about the quality of these two. I definately won't go back although the location is very convenient.

Dermabrasion at Cosmedoctor was a very good value for money. Booking was easy and professionally handled. An email confirmation was always received after the booking as also a reminder via text message. Cosmedoctor is located inside Superdrug on the basement floor. Access is easy as the area is centrally located. The therapist was always very nice and caring. The treatment gave results in just 3 sessions. Highly recommended.

this is in the basement of superdrug on ken high street so not the most glamorous of locations, however its clean and everything looks ok. they left me waiting for quite a long time and didnt bother to explain what was going on so didnt make the best impression. the treatment wand they have for the mocrodermabrasion is not the most advanced, its just like a mini vaccuum cleaner with a rough edge, so not as advnaced as other ones ive seen which blast crystals on your skin, but it seems to have done the job ok and i was happy with the end result. in summary, not a luxurious place but ok to go and get some of the bare essentials done without paying a fortune.

My first visit to Destination Skin was for an Oxygen Facial that I bought through Wahanda. While I was there I added on the microdermabrasion. I was told that the oxygen facial wasn't the facial best suited for my skin needs, but I had already purchased it so I went through with it. I could see an immediate difference from the microdermabrasion and I made the decision the next weekend to pay for a course of six Vitamin C Skin Peels with the microdermabrasion. I really feel like this will be the treatment that whips my skin into shape. Destination Skin isn't about luxury, it's results driven. I'm having my second treatment in the morning and I'm really looking forward to it.

The facilities here are very basic - located on the lower ground floor of the branch of Superdrug on Ken High St. The place was a little confusing to find and I had to ask someone in Superdrug where to go for my treatment! Also there was no receptionist on duty, so I had to wait until my therapist had finished her last appointment before I could announce my arrival. (I found out later that they do normally have a receptionist but she was not in that day). The treatment took about half an hour and the therapist seemed competent in what she was doing which was the main thing. There are no knobs and bells or fancy ambience here, but the results of the therapy are good so I was perfecty happy. I still have 2 more sessions to go so hopefully will get even more results next time!

This is the second time I went to this location for the second set of microdermabrasion (after trying it here for the first time some months ago) and just like the first time I enjoyed 'the after glow' that left my skin so moist and radiant. However I wish this particular therapist wasn't so harsh on my skin (left me with some marks that eventually disappeared after some 2-3 days), so next time I am going to tell her, ha ha.

Otherwise, yes my treatment was OK and I will be back.

It was little bit tricky to find as I did not expect to be in the actual Superdrugs store but when I went downstairs it looked rather like a clinic than a store and I was put at easy straight away by a friendly person on the reception who turned up to be my therapist as well.
The experience was rather quick but all the while professional and gentle and as I've noticed improvement on my skin few days later. As my skin is problematic I have since then bought another deal to experience 3 more microdermabrasion sessions to see more benefits to my skin.
Thank you Wahadha for a great deal!

I'd gone here with a Groupon deal. I found the customer service & whole experience to be terrible! I had a two hour treatment deal which ended up being used over 2 separate sessions due to a machine not working (no phone call to tell me, only found out when I got there). They then gave me a 30 min massage when it should've been 1 hour. Though thinking it seemed quick I didn't realise until I was on my way home.

When I came in for my next treatment I asked how long that would be, I was suspicious, & I was told it was 30 mins!!! They then did give me the hours treatment but after i'd complained. It would've meant overall a 2 hour treatment reduced to an hour??

It took 5 whole days for the manager to ring me back to discuss it & I reeled off a list of complaints - so many I have. She apologised etc & gave me explanations as to why the 'mistakes' had been made & that "I was misinformed on the second visit, I was always going to receive an hour the second time despite how it appeared in the book. The person who had looked at it did not understand their booking system".

I don't believe them. She did then offer me an extra hours treatment to make up for it but I declined. Both visits were dreadful & the whole experience irritating, why would I go back even for free?

When I first tried to book it, nobody would answer the phone. This was the case each time I rang, hard to get through. On booking they said they only had a couple of available appointments??? Very unhelpful & no way were they fully booked, I bet if I was paying full price there were spaces for me.

I won't go back there again & I won't be buying any futher beauty treatments of any kind from Groupon. You're definitely treated differently to other customers who pay full price.

Oh & one of the complaints I forgot to mention to the manager - the treatment rooms were freezing.

I had a microdermabrasion 30 minute session last week and I am totally satisfied with the service at Cosmedoctor. As some users have said, the beauty rooms are in the basement of a Superdrug store in High Street Kensington so, if you're looking for that "spa feeling", this may not be the ideal place. Having said that, the rooms are nice, clean and modern. The beauty therapist was experienced, punctual, courteous and explained in detail what I could expect in terms of result/temporary side effects. I am due to go back in a couple of weeks and I can't wait! :)

Wow wow wow!! I loved this treatment. If you want effective results for your skin and you want to see an improvement quickly then I would recommend this for sure. I did not know what to expect when I walked in through the doors. The place is not luxurious but is pleasant and the staff were friendly. I was attended to right away, taken in to the treatment room and my therapist spoke me through the process. I have only ever had this done once before a couple of years ago and spent quite a lot of money for one session so I was not sure what I would get at this introductory pricing but I can honestly say I am blown away. You get to see the 'waste' that comes from your skin surface - so you know the process is working and you really feel like you've been given a second skin when it's over.
I am booked in for a second session this week and I am keen to see what a second treatment will do as many people do these treatments as routine maintenance. The spa is not too far from me in Camden, it's not obvious to find - it is at the back of the market by the lock so it is partly tucked away, but it is sign posted, and I prefer that this is discreetly located as I prefer the privacy, like if I am going to the doctors - I don't really want everyone knowing what I am up to all the time! I really enjoyed this treatment, the staff service and most of all the competitive pricing....I may just become a regular!!

Very convenient location and friendly helpful staff. I signed up for 3 sessions - the first two sessions lasted nearly an hour, the final session with a different therapist lasted less than 30 minutes. Despite inconsistency in the treatment times the overall experience was very good. However, I’m new to microdermabrasion and didn’t really notice any difference after a course of 3 (except my skin felt much dryer for a few days afterwards). Perhaps a longer course of treatments would be more beneficial.

I visited the clinic over a week ago. The thing that impressed me the most was the fact the the therapist did check my skin and advised me to use a softer microdermabrasion for my type of skin which was actually cheaper.
The therapist did take a very good care of my face. After the treatment my skin felt soft and more 'alive'. The next day it felt very re-freshed. The therapist suggested different types of creams and treatments for my type of skin for future. She did listen and was very patient with me.
Overall I am very pleased with the service and I think it's a very good value for money especially when compared to other places offering the same treatments.

I was very disappointed and would not come back for free. I arrived 7 minutes late as the location (High St. Kensington) was hard to find. The facility is located below Superdrug store level. I waited a bit for the staff to emerge from a small room while they chatted to each other. I asked to use the ladies room and was told to use one across the street at McDonalds. I asked them if that is where they go and the answer was “Superdrug stores does not have one for customers.” When I filled out the forms I was eager to get the treatment started as it was already 14 minutes pass the hour. The staff was not in a rush and the therapist told me that it’s already late and she can do a quick one. I was informed that she has someone right after me and I have an option to have a very quick session or I can cancel and lose the voucher. Because of the careless attitude I asked if there is even a point of starting. In the end I had a quick session and I believe the therapist did her best with the time frame. The room was very basic, cold and uncomfortable. When I came out of the very quick session there was no one waiting. Coming back to the location issue, when I mentioned it to the staff the reception arrogantly informed me that it was in the e-mail confirmation. When I got back home I looked at the e-mail confirmation and Superdrug was mentioned in a very small print, it would have been helpful to know this when I booked the treatment via phone. Over all the experience was not worth my time or money regardless of the location issue. I would never go back or recommend this company.

Be warned - this is not a relaxing treatment. I bought a course of three and if I hadn't done that, I don't think I would have chosen to return! It felt so painful the first time, that I took a nurofen tablet the second visit and will certainly do the same this time. The skin is injured by the tiny needles but all that you can see afterwards is a rosy glow. I would have liked to seen in a mirror in the room what effect it was having on my skin because that added to my level of anxiety and probably pain. Second time was much easier to bear and my skin recovered more quickly. This treatment takes at least four weeks to see the effects. Your skin rejenerates itself by increasing the blood flow and collagen to the skin. I can't yet say that there is a marked difference but it's only been two weeks...Not too sure what to say - this is definitely one of those "no pain, no gain" treatments.

The salon is on the lower ground of a hair salon. Ambience is not great and treatment room also wasn't too welcoming- quite sterile looking, with a very uncomfortable mat on which to lie on. Treatment time varied greatly (had 3 microdermabrasion sessions). I did not realise I would have loads of sand-like material stuck to my face and hair as an end result. Not advisable to have treatment if you then want to carry on with your day as you will need to wash your face with water somewhere to get rid of the grainy material. Was not impressed. Skin felt softer and smoother, but would imagine there are better venues to have this treatment at.

I found this place through Wahanda and called them. Tanya was very patient over the phone and very clear in her answers. She clarified that this is a home based salon, and i was extremely impressed with the equipment she has. I don't think i have seen any other high street salon so diversely equipped. I had a consultation and then we went onto doing the treatment. The microdermabrasion was the best i have ever had, I felt like something was happening unlike previous ones i had. The caci was also very detailed and relaxing. She made me fell at ease and relaxed me to the fact that she wasn't going to try to sell me a mass number of beauty products or a course.

They are based in Superdrug so you have a retail setting. They were running a bit late but were polite about it so you didn't mind. The therapist was lovely, really taking time to advise me. The treatment was very good albeit a little brief. I plan to go back.

I had another really good experience with great tips being given to improve my skin. I notice the difference, especially as they mixed the hydradermabrasion and microdermabrasion. I would recommend PLC.

I have been visiting Junerain for about two years and during that time I've tried various treatments. Currently experiencing Casi face and body and I'm delighted with the results, and reasonable price. The atmosphere is relaxed and very welcoming and the team are generally interested in your wellbeing, unlike many other salons I've visited.

I've also recently taken the offer with teeth whitening, and am really pleased with the results. Now an ex-smoker, I could never achieve the whiteness I desired through a polish at the dentist. Also need to point out that I'm a little squeamish when it comes to matters of the mouth, but the procedure was carefully explained by a trained professional, and any concerns I had were fully addressed.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Junerain to my friends or family, and have on many occasions over the last couple of years.

On the time of booking I was mislead about the treatment ,so I was disappointed when my microdermabrasion last only twenty few minutes.After made a complain ,I received a second microdermabrasion session,which makes me feel satisfied with service overall.However the ambience is not very impresive and bit out dated.

There is nothing glamorous or luxurious or spa-like about this place. It is simple, straightforward, and basic. But if that's what you expect, you won't be disappointed ! I read the reviews, and knew the venue as it's close to home, so I was actually very pleasantly surprised. My therapist was very friendly and easy to be with, and showed me the equipment and talked about her day with back-to-back appointments for microdermabrasion. I had had a session at another venue, as part of an hour long facial. This was a basic cleanse, 20 mins microderma, quick mask, and moisturise and you are out the door. It's more like a medical appointment, or a dentists. But if you want your skin scrubbed, hygenically and quickly, then this is the place to go. And, of course, it's an absolute BARGAIN compared to other spas ! I hate to use the phrase, but it does what it says on the tin.

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!

I've been having my waxing and facials done at WT Spa for a number of years and all I can say is, they know what they are doing. I noticed that there is one reviewer mentioning that she hadn't had a great waxing experience and that's unfortunate, but I can honestly say in the three years that I have been going there, I've always had top quality waxing and outstanding facials. I don't like massage but I booked my husband for a massage and he was wowed by Danijelia. I went yesterday for a facial (reason for this review) and I had Suda, I think she is the new manager, all I can say is, she was quite simply OUTSTANDING. It wasnt the most relaxing facial but OMG does my skin look amazing. I am SO pleased.

Good sides: excellent value for your money, very friendly staff.

Not so good sides: the site is not impressive, two small therapy rooms in the basement of Superdrug at Kensington High Street, it's a bit noisy while you have your treatment so no relaxing experience here. The therapist was very friendly and had good skills with the machine but didn't strike me as too knowledgeable.

Bad sides: when trying to book my appointment I called the phone three times on different days and waited for 10+ minutes without any reply. Finally I got down to the salon and booked the appointment in person but with an 08 number that is a mean trick to play on customers!

Overall I am satisfied because obviously it's very reasonably priced place where you can get your treatment and go without any further hassle.

This is not the first time I have been to Kiyoshi spa, infact its the 3rd time and it gets better and better. My micro-dermabrasion leaves my skin feeling lovely and I come away feeling de-stressed after the great treatment from kyia. He is fantastic in the way he relaxes you and makes it a great experience - he is the best therapist ever. Just a note on his TEMP PREMISES in the Northern Quarter, the best way to find this is to get to Bengal Street and locate the building with the large orange logo (looks like explanation mark !) and the building next to it is the one . If Kyia moves again in the future, I will definitely still be a customer . xx

Destinationskin London has very efficient and professional staff. I have microderm treatments there and as well as the pre clensing and post hydrating mask, they're thorough and gentle. Asma is my favourite therapist as she does a fantastic job, Lucie is also great and is very knowledgable. Despite the clinical feel, the staff are friendly and always make the effort to make you feel comfortable. They have great regular promotions on also. I love this place so much that I have decided to also have my laser hair removal there also. I've had microderm treatments before elsewhere and I never had the great and noticable results that I've had from DestinatioSkin.

The place itself is not much to look at, It's obviously an office block and they have made do. So the treatment rooms are extremely basic and quite cold looking. However, the staff are friendly enough and I was offered 1session of hydro microdermabrasion and 2 with the crystal one so I could experience both, which was good. I don't really see a difference but I don't think its to do with them. So I would recommend.

My friend and I visited WT Spa for my birthday and loved it. The whole experience was 10 out of 10 - treatments, therapists and overall ambiance. The only one critical point is that I tried to book my Mum the next day for the same facial I had (as the results were so good) but they couldn't fit her in. The other small point of criticism is that I would have liked the same therapist for both my facial and massage but I had two different therapists. They were both excellent and both specialised in their particular treatment, which was great, however, I had just settled in with my facial therapist when she had to hand over (all very seamlessly) to my massage therapist. Overall though, a wonderful experience was had by both my friend and I.

It was very useful to know it was located inside a superdrug store (I had read it on a review). The atmosphere and decor remind more of soul-less clinic than of a cosy beauty parlour, but i don't mind that much. The therapist was friendly enough but not talkative.
The treatment lasts 30mins: clean the face, do the dermabrasion, rinse and apply moisturiser.
Overall, it was effective and still relaxing and I'm happy with the offer.

I recently went to SkinGenesis in Manchester. The staff were extremely accomodating and friendly both at the reception and therapist herself. I felt the therapist explained the process well and was extremely professional throughout the microderm. I was pleased with the results.
The only downside were the sheer quantity of forms to fill in (basically legal disclaimers) and I don't think I would pay full price for the treatment (but I generally think microderms of over-priced). The location was central and the place ok - although I think it could be made to look even more swish...

Like other reviewers have stated this place can be difficult to get an appointment if you can only go late in the evening or on weekends but I am fortunate that I can go during the week so have never had any huge problems getting an appointment.

I knew that they were inside Superdrug so if I knew that it must of been stated somewhere so I dont think its fair that people have blamed Cosmedoctors for not knowing where the place was. If you werent sure you could always ask when you made the appointment??

My microdermabrasion treatment was wonderful. I have had a LOT of micros in the past and this was by far one of the best. The therapist was young but very experienced and knew exactly what she was doing. I would say this was probably my most thorough micro ever!!

Overall I am extremely happy with my visit here and have bought a course of micros as their normal prices are really competitive even without a mobdeal.

I booked in for a Microdermabrasion treatment as I was interested to see what it was about. The salon was clean and the receptionist very friendly and helpful.
My therapist was good at talking through the treatment and what it would entail. Generally the treatment was relaxing and felt good. I asked her afterwards what other treatments I needed and was pleased when she didn't reccomend anything like Botox or fillers. Instead she advised me of more natural products and treatments.
I was quite pleased with the treatment but not sure if it has had a huge effect on my skin. Maybe I need more. However i did buy a deal of 6 laser hair removal sessions as it was a great deal and a few of my colleagues have had it with great effect.

I took my Mum for Microdermabrasion as a treat. She was really happy with the treatment- she said the therapist was really gentle and friendly and her skin was glowing afterwards, would definitely recommend to others. If it wasn't so expensive to have the treatment normally she would definitely go back, but as it stands it is out of her price range. The only thing I would say was slightly negative is that the reception area was rather cramped- so if you buy a treatment for someone else it is not particularly great to wait there whilst they have the treatment, and there aren't many cafes etc nearby.

Handy location, nice set-up and a great treatment. The therapist was lovely but very salesy - whilst we discussed my needs and that was great - it was a bit exhausting fending off all the sales talks. Particularly as at the end the recommended plan of action for my skin of products was a bargainous £700 (the price AFTER they discounted it by 25% aswell!). It was jsut a bit much - I love having things recommended to me but it was relentless! As it was I left with a £37 cleanser which is far too harsh for my skin and as a result I now have lots of spots and oiliness!! Its a great clinic but I would say that you should go in steeled and ready for the big sell!!

You loose faith in the efficiency of the staff when all have been trained to sell only their products. All of them parrot the same things as though well rehearsed. I thought the microdermbrasion at this clinic was ok (I had nothing to compare against) until I had a session in another medical clinic, which was far more effective, abrasive and suitable treatment needed for my kind of skin. What I didnt get in 3 sessions here, I got it in a single session at the other clinic and I have more scheduled. The microdermabrasion at this clinic would last less than 5 minutes as though air brushing your face and with numerous excuses like they don't want to tamper with my skin and I must use the products they recommend (read buy from them or use another of their recommended treatments)! Not worth the money. Results could have been far better if they refrained from their tacit ways for customers to revisit. Wouldn't recommend.

The staff at Destination Skin were very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable . I was offered a cup of coffee on my arrival which was a nice touch. The rooms were sparsely decorated which I felt it added to the clinical no frills approach, which I liked. The treatment itself was not at all relaxing as I had read from previous reviews, a tad uncomfortable, rather like a small piece of sandpaper being rubbed against your face, but you do get used to it after 5 mins. I felt that before and throughout the treatment it was useful that the 1st therapist spoke me through what was happening, although it sounds simple, it was quite reassuring. This was not consistent throughout all of my three treatments, especially the second one which I felt was a bit rushed. I noticed that there was a bit of a sales pitch to lead to further treatments and/or products but once the response was a resounding "no thank you", that was the end of that. The results have been amazing, most of my scarring has disappeared and the texture of my skin is far smoother. I would definitely go back for further treatments.

Overall a great experience, value for money and friendly staff who put you at ease. On the second appointment the microdermabrasion machine had broken so I was given a light therapy session for no extra cost, and this did not affect my course (so I still had two appointments left) I thought this was very generous. Also, the microdermabrasion didn't really agree with my skin type, so they let me change my remaining two appointments to the light therapy - again very accommodating seeing as I had bought this as a deal anyway! :-)

I felt the staff were very pleasant and the overall salon was clean and welcoming however the treatment itself was quite short (approx 20mins, including the quick massage before & after the microderm session) As the therapist was aware this was my 1st session I expected her to show me the equipment she was going to use etc - but she didn't.
Also I found she wen't over my spots with force which was painful & I had to ask her to stop. I was then left for about 20mins to relax as my face was bright pink. I however assumed this was the nature of the treatment UNTIL I had the same treatement at another salon which was the exact opposite!!! I was told that the treatment should always include the neck - which wasn't the case here also that the actual microderm session should be alot longer then a few mins.
Overall the atmosphere and salon is very nice and staff are friendly but they treatement compared to other highstreet salons was very poor. Would not recommend this purely for the fact that the therapist was way too harsh on my skin even though she knew I was in pain.

I recently purchased 6 microdermabrasion treatments which were on offer for £120. I have had my 1st treatment and I was VERY happy with Sam whom treated me - she informed me of the Do's & Don'ts regarding which products etc to use and also didn't push me in buying products from the salon (which I find many salons do!) The actual treatment was not what I expected, infact it was ALOT better and I would totally recommend this salon and Sam!

The 1st treatment has improved my skin slightly (currently suffer from random outbursts and pigmentation) and I hope the remaining 5 treatments go as well as the 1st. Big thumbs up!

I really struggled to get through to the venue to make a booking and when I eventually did, after e-mails and calls, the venue informed me that they completely over booked this deal and as such they could not fulfill my voucher before the expiry date. I am very disappointed. Still waiting for a refund.

This treatment really did make a great improvement to my skin. It was slightly annoying to be sent to the shopping centre to print out my wahanda voucher when they did have a computer and printer in the salon. Overall it was a good treatment though and microdermabrasion does give very good results.

Really impressed with the whole experience, staff are friendly and knowledgable, without being too pushy. Having not had a microdermabrasion before,the therapist took the time to do a full consultation, told me what to expect results-wise while asking me what i hoped to get from the treatment. I have been impressed with the results so far but also put this down to the products i have purchased on recomendation from them. I have continued to book treatments with them now my course has finished and trust they would only recomend things for my skin that they think would actually work.

I had the course of three microdermabrasion treatments. The treatments themselves weregreat, my skin looked & felt a lot better as a result. The therapists were kind, soothing & seemed to know their stuff. The one thing I would say is that when I managed to get a booking to suit me the first time I made my subsequent bookings, only to find on my next visit that my final booking hadn't actually been done & it was very difficult to find a time when I was free to then be able to attend. There were also two occasions where the therapist was running late (by at least 15 minutes) & no apology was given, which seems a little poor practice to me. Overall it was fine & the results were good.

The ultimate experience. Professional, modern, relaxing, friendly, down to earth. Only some of many words i can use to describe Alkali. I was completely wow'd on my first visit and have continued to be ever since. Friendly staff that make you feel at ease and understand your every need. I first went to alkali a few years ago and haven't looked back since. I will never need to consider another clinic again. Second to none in every way and did I mention extremely reasonable in price? Perfect treatments using cutting edge technology. Perfect service. What more could you ask for. Love them.

I met Sam the therapist at Enhance Beauty following a wahanda purchase. She is absolutely lovely and made me feel right at ease. She made sensible suggestions regarding a managable skin care routine and I followed through to have a course of skin peels with her. She has been professional and delightful throughout, and I would (and have) recommended her to my friends.
The salon location is also great for a spot of pre and post treatment shopping!

The facilities are ok, clean and neat, staff was friendly. The procedure was quite harsh for my skin though, it got red and hot, which didn't go for a couple of days afterwards. This was the reason I did not proceed with my treatment, I only had one. Wouldn't recommend this to a friend, but that depends on your skin type I guess.

I was greeted and offered tea on my arrival by an exceptional receptionist, very friendly and smiley. Exactly what a person needs! But after that it went down hill.... I arrived 5 minutes early as requested to complete forms, but was then kept waiting a further 20 mins due to a previous clients lateness. As previously mentioned by another review, conversations with the therapist was an arduous task which really should not have been. A good therapist talks through the procedure (especially as I had never had this treatment before), asks you if you are going on holiday etc, but not a single thing out of her, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Once the treatment was over she applied sun cream but there was no recommendations on after care (although I had read on the internet to keep sun at bay for the next 48 hours. Although this is the nearest branch to my home, I will not be using for beauty again. I may try the other branch in Catford for any form of beauty treatments as unfortunately, only the receptionist was brilliant!

My husband buys me a gift certificate each year for Mother's Day and this year I was pleasantly surprised! This boutique style spa was a little hard to find but worth the delay once I arrived. My massage and scrub was one of the best I have ever had! I've been back for a Microdermabrasion (something I have never done before) and my skin looked great for weeks. Each Tuesday they have this service on special and it is worth the price for how the result I saw the very next day!

WARNING! I purchased Spa experience via Groupon. Offer included full use of gym and crystal microdermabrasion. I was not allowed access to the gym, had to wait 80 minutes for my treatment and was told, at the start of my treatment, that I could not have crystal dermabrasion because they had run out of crystals. Therapist very evasive when asked how long they had been without crystals'. I was offered the cheaper dermalogica facial.

In a nut shell a complete waste of money! Manageress was nowhere to be seen and her mobile was unobtainable. As I was leaving the Spa there were 2 very unhappy woman making a complaint.

The clinic is really central, on a lovely side street just off Edgware Road, and the ambience in there is really relaxed and friendly.

I had purchased the 10-Years Younger package for £99 on Wahanda. The package consisted of 1x microdermabrasion, 1x micropeel and 1x microderm treatment. At least this is what it said on Wahanda during the booking procedure. The actual voucher however stated something else and omitted the free cleanser that I was supposed to get. It took me quite a feel to convince the receptionist that I was indeed entitled to receive a free sample.

Booking an appointment was very efficient, they even do treatments on Sundays. My first visit consisted of a skin consultation where my skin type was assessed to see whether the package was indeed suitable for me. The therapist seemed knowledgable and professional. I am not too sure what to make of the no-nosense receptionist though, the place is rather small and there are lots of customers coming in while the phone is ringing constantly so I do appreciate the it is quite a feat to stay on top of it all but friendliness is a must in this business.

The microdermabrasion was fantastic, the results were immediately visible, I loved it.

For my next visit I chose the micropeel which includes another microdermabrasion session. I was given a small sample of a glycolic cleanser (came for free with the Wahanda deal) that I had to use 2 weeks before the micropeel to prep my skin. I am in love with this cleanser now and will purchase a full size bottle once I run out. I wasn't that convinced about the micropeel but it felt nice.

Finally the microderm treatment: a rich, hydrating fluid was pressed into my skin using an electric current. It did not come with a free microdermabrasion but the therapist was so nice and did one for me anyway. My face muscles were twitching due to the electricity: it was not painful but rather funny. However, just like the micropeel I was not too convinced about the immediate result.

All in all it was a wonderful experience and a great taster package. I think that all treatments (especially micropeel and microderm) have to be carried out on a regular basis to see results. I'd definitively go there again and would recommend it.

I will try to be as a matter of fact with my review:

Good

Free car parking
Easy to locate
Lovely receptionist (made me feel welcome smiled offered drink etc)


Didn't like

- Therapist came in really late (20 mins) did not properly apologise
- Rushed my appointment, and there was no consultation, as to what treatment I wanted, the therapist just told me to lie down and started, I wanted the light therapy treatment and i asked if she was going to do this while the treatment was happening but she said, because I had blackheads it would not be good for me (but I have read that light therapy is good for blackheads too, and my friends have had it).
- Snapped a picture of me without asking if it was ok - as if one had no choice
- Gave no after advice
- Did not even properly say goodbye
- I said few times I was considering a course of microdermabrasion, she showed no interest in selling or advising me to buy a course from them.
- she was chatty during the treatment, but very moody overall, I like people who make me feel welcome and usually a smile does it.

That it for now, personally i would not go there again.

Overall the place was easy to find as it was on the main road. The receptionist was lovely and really friendly. The place was quite small, but that did not matter too much as it was clean. There was only 1 Therapist carrying out the treatment. The Therapist, looked a little moody and was not very friendly. What I mean by that is when you are going to a spa, salon etc, the purpose is usually to treat yourself and relax. More than the treatment the staff make it a relaxing environment. People by from people right? The Therapist did not smile, or greet me to even say, hi how are you.. I'l be with you in a minute etc. So that put me off. The treatment itself was decent. I hate the fact, the Therapist just takes a picture of you, before even explaining exactly the purpose of it and more importantly, if I would be ok with it. it was just sort of snap, then the paper handed over for me to sign to declare whether or not I would allow it for marketing. Overall Ok, but I would not visit the place again. The best thing about the place was the receptionist. Good on her!

I didnt she rushed my consulation before the treatment. The treatment itself was lovely. It was relaxing and I felt she was experienced.

Your face always looks great afterwards. I've tried several facials with the micro, the 24 caret, Mineral and the fruit peels. I like the fruit peels, the smell yummy. Usually, I just wiggle and say..how much to just put it all on my face..I mean another salon would bill you a mint but you can get out of there getting your moneys worth.

Initially had difficult locating the clinic and the directions were not clear. I stood outside a house with the same number for about 10 minutes and had to call twice before someone realised that I had been given incorrect directions.
Therapist friendly and knowledgeable. More time could have been spent on the micordermabrasion. There seems to be more focus on the collogen mask treatement, which can be done at home. If I were to use this clinic outside of Wahanda would expect the treatment to be focused on micordermabrasion and time spent on the areas which require intensive treatment. I have had microdermabrasion treatment at other clinics and was disappointed that this was not as extensive as other clinics. Whilst the mask is enjoyable it does not have to be so long.

I would not recommend this salon or treatment to anyone. The only good thing in my experience was that it was easy to make and change my appointment. My therapist was trying to hard sell me further treatments throughout my appointment, which I found very ofputting. During the initial consultation I agreed to buy microdermabrasion session to be done right after the peel because she highly recommended it, which I then regretted. The peel itself was not at all what I expected, it did not leave any visible effect at all, even combined with microdermabrasion. I have home-use masks and peels which are much more effective than this salon treatment. Therapist was so rough while doing microdermabrasion she scratched me. Atmosphere in the salon was awful, there was lots of short hair left on the treatment couch towel, obviously not changed from the previous client and covered up with a paper towel on top. The room was very brightly lit and not relaxing at all, the door made an awful noise when the therapist went in and out of the room during my treatment. She would not stop talking trying to sell me further treatments and aftercare products. But even with the discount which they happen to offer at the time, the course of treatment was more expensive than Harley street equivalent. All in all, I could not wait to get out of there.

I had the diamond peel in this salon , i have never heard of this treatment before when i bought the coupon but according to the internet it is similar to microdermabrasion and (that i have it often for every 3-4 weeks), if any case DP is more advance and gentle. The salon itself is small and the first therapist who greeted me was fine but the one to treat me was horrible. I have no problem of the salon for being small as long as it has the right facilities and good therapists. I filled out the form and stated that i have combination skin and a bit of pigmentation near my forehead and i particularly asked if it is ok for oriental skin. The therapist did ask if i was uncomfortable during the process although it did hurt a little , she insisted that it is normal to feel a little pain. When it is finished, the therapist told me my face appeared to be a little red which should be gone within hours but she didnt even offer a mirror for me to look at which i found it weird. After i left the salon, i understand why i wasnt offered the mirror as she left a big cut on my left cheek and a small cut on my right cheek close to the mouth which took more than 7 days to recover and even now, after three weeks, i still have a bit of red mark on my face. My family suggested that i should sue the company if i have left the permanent scars which i really dont want to. As a customer on services like this, i understand there will be risks and i did sign the paper declaration or whatever that protects the company but what i am very upset is that the therapist surely knew what she has done to me but didnt say anything and just kicked me out as soon as she could, i have facial for more than 15 years, this is the first time i have something like that which kind of scars me for life and i am afraid to go for just regular facial now. I am just praying that red marks will eventaully be vanished as now that i not only have pigmentation and red marks too. Thanks to this salon and if i were you, i will not take this chance, ever!

The salon itself is no-frills and doesn't look highly impression upon first visiting, almost to the extent that it looks a bit grubby. I went for a microdermabrasion treatment with a discounted voucher I had purchased. The treatment itself was good, the therapist was knowledgeable and able to answer any questions I had. My skin was left feeling extremely soft. I could however smell cigarette on the therapist's hands which was really off putting especially when she was applying the face mask directly with her fingers.

I would probably not visit again - I'd rather pay more for a better salon, however for the price I paid it was fine.

It was my first microdermabrasion session ever and I have to say my skin felt really smooth and was in a good condition for a couple of days after the treatment. In general, it's difficult for me to find good products as my skin is so sensitive but the mask felt really nice and didn't irritate my skin at all. The therapist was very nice and friendly but I can't say the same about the other personnel. The second session seemed almost better than the first one but I was disspointed it lasted only about half an hour.

Very friendly therapist clearly explained about the treatment and aftercare, asked me what product usually I am using and made some professional comments.

The procedure was very pleasant, especially gentle facial massage. The therapist was very professional and I fully relaxed. I could see the result immediately after the treatment with cleaner, fresher, brighter skin. I really enjoyed and definitely coming back for future treatments.

Although the salon is a bit out of the way and tucked in a basement without much frill, it was clean and the therapist was calm and very professional. She clearly explained the procedure and then worked in silence, allowing me to relax a bit.

The treatment has left my skin refreshed and I would consider going back for more in the longer term. Although there was talk of considering further treatments, there was no pressure sale.

It was a great experience, I really enjoyed the treatment. The therapist was very good, but there was a little bit of pressure to buy products. After the treatment I was offered sunscreen but it would have been better if they also applied a good moisturiser. After all, microdermabrasion leaves skin very thirsty. Overall, it was good and I would go again.

I had a skin consultation and a Glycolic skin peel on the same day, the service was brilliant, the atmosphere and staff are second to none, made sure they take the time to answer all my questions and concerns and left me feeling very confident about the treatment and the benefits it will have on my skin.

The treatment it self was not too bad, had slight tingling and that's it, the results however were very impressive, my skin was left glowing and smooth, the result was actually better than I thought it would be.
A highly recommended treatment.

I have to say, I did have a good treatment, and the therapist is lovely, but unfortunately I feel that the ambience of the shop is poor. I can hear a lot of noise from the treatment room, and although I didn't pick a particularly relaxing treatment, I don't think I would have been too happy if I did.

Shame as I think the staff there are really nice, and the treatment was professional.

I am quite happy with the 108 New Bond Street Salon. Have purchased discounted voucher for Microdermabrasion for very good price.
There was a problem to make appointment over the phone, so did it via e-mail, and found this way the best way to communicate with the staff. I have arrived too early, so just sat on the sofa and wait for my turn in pretty and relaxing atmosphere, a lady at reception was very nice and helpful to.
Have booked already another session in couple weeks time.

I seem to be getting addicted to this salon. So far I've had 4 sessions of microdermabrasion, 2 skin peels and 2 sessions of IPL on my underarms.

The treatment rooms are very white, with accents of fluorescent green. The rooms look and feel very clinical, although that's not surprising as it is advertised as a medi-spa, so I wouldn't expect it to be relaxing. It's handy as it's in House of Fraser in the Oracle shopping centre although the exact location of the clinic is a bit bizarre as it's hidden away at the back of menswear.

My favourite treatment is the microdermabrasion. They use the medical grade crystals, but I haven't found that harsh. Last time I nearly fell asleep during the microdermabrasion treatment. My skin is so smooth at the moment and looks so much brighter. I've had compliments about how "fresh" I look at the moment, which is nice. I've also had two light skin peels, the first one was very mild, the second one was quite a bit stronger and I did peel quite a bit from the second day. I've had 2 sessions of IPL, it was very professionally and clinically done although I will need a few more sessions to see results.

They always seem to have offers on, so it's possible to get a good deal. The only things I would change would be (a) some blankets or duvets would be nice as it can get cool with the air conditioning and (b) less of the hard sell at the end of the treatment please as it sours an otherwise fantastic experience.

I am a beauty addict and love to get my hands on the very best treatments. This place is heaven. I went a week ago and had a Crystal Clear facial that made my face look amazing, a pedicure in these huge massaging relaxing chairs with built in foot spa (thought you could only get these in London!) that was perfect, but THE BEST thing of all was the new manicure system they are doing. It is a gel system where each coat of varnsih is dried under a UV light and I swear, even though it was done over a week ago it looks perfect -like it was freshly done this morning. Genius.

The appointment didn't start off well as this branch seemed to have no record of my appointment even though it had only been moved to this branch a couple of days before due to refurbishments at Wigmore St.
However the staff were friendly & helpful and made sure that someone could see me.
I hadn't had a microdermabrasion before so wasn't sure what to expect but the therapist explained in detail to me before & during.
I'm sure it is good for your skin to get rid of dead cells but it is not nice & relaxing like having a facial which I would probably prefer in future.
Overall good value as a deal.

Ive been coming to the salon for five years now and I am really impressed with how the Beauty therapist has been dealing with my needs and wants. I've now had almost everything done at this Beauty Salon and can honestly say that every attention to detail has been made.
I was a very hairy young lady and the the beauty therapist gave me' a clear and concise consultation on laser hair removal. I do not have to wax my face every week and have no worries anymore.

As my hair is rather course, I thought that it would be impossible for the beauty therapist to be able to remove my hair on my legs completely with the waxing products that they use. However, I was completely wrong. Not one hair was left on my legs and they were feeling very smooth.

I am rather a shy lady. However, the beauty therapist has always helped me feel at ease. I really do not know what I would do without Bliss Beauty Studio. I would definitely recommend this salon.... I go to this salon every Saturday.. This is how much I love it!

This service was exceptional! My technician was an expert and gave great advice on my skin type and potential additional services I may benefit from experiencing. The Medi Spa itself was spotless and the staff at check-in couldn't have been more professional. The service itself started with a skin consultation and a review of the basic steps of the procedure. After a cleanse, the Microderm began and felt like a medium grain exfoliation. After a hydrating mask and 10 minutes or so to relax, I was on my way out and felt like a new person! My skin was glowing for days and I could see the lasting results of the Microderm through the coming weeks. Great service and great value, I would definitely indulge in more services here and will be on the look out for more great offers on Wahanda.

Quite mixed feelings to be honest. Had arrived 15 minute before my appointment time to find that there was no one there and as such it wasn't open, there was another client who had been waiting for 30 mins prior to me arriving. By the time someone arrived over an hour had passed (along with another client) and it turned out that no appointments had been booked in for that day. The staff were very apologetic and re-booked me for the following day as well as booking me in a for a free eyebrow and eyelash tint that day.

The facial itself lasted only 40/45 mins (rather than the hour specified) but did leave me my skin looking fantastic however I felt as if the therapist was rushing and spent more time talking to the student observing the treatment rather than to me. Also I feel that the treatment would have been better if there had been a hand massage or something similar whilst the face mask was on. Also there was no music being played in the room itself so you could hear everything that was being discussed outside of the room so it wasn't overly relaxing

Overall I wouldn't have been thrilled if the full price had been paid for the facial but definitely can't fault the end result!

Madison Skin & Laser is on the 11th floor of the Madison Medical Center, so the place feels more like a doctor's office than a spa. I had purchased a Microdermabrasion facial treatment on Wahanda and made an appointment for midweek, so I was really looking forward to it.

It actually operates like a doctor's office as you check in at the front desk, fill out a bunch of forms, and then wait to be led to a room (more like a dentist's office now) :-) But the people are super friendly!

My practitioner, a lovely woman named Anita, came in and explained the treatment to me which involves using a diamond tip instrument to exfoliate the skin and also infuse the skin with at least 3 different types of topical treatments. After washing my face, the first microderm treatment involved salicylic acid (i believe that is aspirin), which helps with breakouts. Then Vitamin A & C, and I forget the third one, but the treatment involved using this pen like suction device to suck or exfoliate all over my face. I did not have any redness afterwards, but the treatment does feel like its working - kind of like a cat licking your face...a bit rough, but Anita assured me the exfoliation would do me good!

She then applied a calming mask, let that (and me) sit for 10 minutes, and then after a wipedown, I was all good to go. I was convinced to come back for a facial with her colleague and aesthetician (Jeanne), and so I will be back for that.

Anita was super professional, and amazingly nice. Although the center does not feel like a spa, it does feel like they know what they are doing, and the treatments are effective.

One last note - I tried to leave a tip, but Jose the operations manager told me that since they are more like a doctor's office, no need to tip. Hey, that was nice, but the staff are just great! I look forward to coming back

We had a steam in the lovely steam room and relaxed with a cup of tea. The facial was one of the best I'd ever had, as was the massage (firm but good). As a beauty junkie the expertise of my facialist was second to none. I will be back. great great value. Some little tips to make things even better.... biscuits or fruit in the tea room!

Relaxing environment, quiet and soothing.
I have been suffering from eczema all my life, and have spent thousands of dollars on doctors, dieticians and etc. I've been to facialists many times before, but never have I experienced a facial which included such quality products (my incredibly super sensitive skin was not a bit bothered when I got Microdermabarsion facial, in fact, it looked wonderful at the end of the treatment) and also Sara is soooo knowledgeable about what she is doing. I love her very soothing touch. Sara has been my best allied in assisting me to take care of my skin and the skin of my family for the last 8 years. Through comprehensive education, carefully customized products, and EXCELLENTE (beyond any words) service. People consistently underestimate my age by at least 10 years, a mistake I welcome more and more! I feel better about myself, and that is truly priceless. You must visit Sara at Sunsara spa.

Inconspicuous clinic, tucked away in London's east end, a three minute walk from Liverpool Street. Friendly reception staff and therapist. Advice given well by sympathetic, friendly therapist and I was made feel assured and relaxed, instructed to lay down on the therapy bed, and treatment (despite my expectations) was quick and painless and not messy at all (expected to be picking bits of sand off my face all day afterward!). The only thing I would say is that it didn't make an enormous difference to my skin and as such, if the treatment hadn't been discounted on Wahanda, then I would not have paid the regular price of £85 for a single session!

Work in the city so this salon is super convenient. My first dermabrasion experience so was important that my therapist was knowledgeable and able to talk me through the process which she absolutely did. A short skin analysis, followed by an explanation of the treatment preceded the microdermabrasion and a mini facial. Left feeling great - bright, super exfoliated skin. Booked another 4 sessions at a discounted price. Thoroughly recommended!

I was excited about getting the treatment as I'd had one before many years ago with great results. I work long hours and its hard for me to make appointments like this so you can imagine my frustration when I trekked there to find out they did not seem to have any record of my appointment even though I definitely made it with them. Though they did apologise they were not willing to offer to fit me in at all even though they could have if the therapist stayed an extra 10 minutes past her shift. They only offered me either a rushed 20 minute session there and then or a new appointment.

I took the new appointment on a different day and this time got to see a therapist. Thankfully, the therapist was lovely/friendly and throughly explained everything and answered all my questions. She seemed to really know what and like what she was doing and my skin feels great after the treatment.

Only other negative is I think the treatment room needs a bit of a spruce up though as it's looking a bit tired and could do with some softer touches.

I went to the Superficial Spa a couple of weeks back for a Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion facial.
First impressions weren't necessarily fantastic...it's a tiny underground cavern, a little too decadently-cladded out but the staff seemed welcolming and friendly enough.
The treatment itself went quite well. The therapist was friendly but not overly chatty and seemed to know what she was doing.
The treatment room itself however was a little disappointing...all lights were out apart from one super bright spotlight which wasn't very relaxing...but this may have been something needed for the treatment, Im not sure. Also, the chatter from the main room was clearly audible and a little distracting.
I don't regret buying the treatment or going but it's probably not something I would invest in at full price, especially as there was no noticeable difference to my skin afterwards.

Superficial is, whist being hard to find, well worth finding. The moment I walked in i was greeted by the manager (Simon?) and offered a coffee. The salon itself is quite small but the treatyment rooms are a decent size and well decorated. I have never had microdermabrasion before but i will certainly have it again my skin felt extremly soft afterewards and i would recomend this treatment. The treatment was relaxing and the therapist knew what she was doing she expalined teh whole proceedure to me. I also had a manicure afterwards which was OK. I had a look at the price list which for Covent Garden was quite decent- its actually cheaper than in my local area (Clapham) I will certainly go back for the microdermabrasion.

I'm not going to come back to Superficial in Covent Garden. The place feels like a grotto rather than a beauty salon. The first impression wasn't good at all - the stairs needed a good hoovering - then the humidity hit me! The therapist who took care of me during my microdermabrasion session was perfectly nice and skilled, bad sadly the whole experience was spoiled as she was suffering from a cold/flu and wearing a face mask! Being in close contact with a sick person who should clearly be in bed was not at all what I'm looking for when going for a treatment. Instead of an hour of relaxation, I had an hour of trying to figure out where the nearest Pharmacy was so I could stock up on Lemsip and vitamin C! If that wasn't frustrating enough I was treated to loud rock music (through the door, but still) which was more suited to a club than a treatment room! Very disappointing :(

Thanks to Superficial I’ve just had one of the best nights out in years. I visited the salon with my friend for a body-wrap; it took us a while to find because from the outside it doesn’t look like a salon.
I was amazed at the results of my body wrap I decided to visit again to try their microdermabrasion facial after chatting to one of their clients who’d just received the treatment – it was incredible my skin is amazing and so much smoother and blemish free it totally boosted my confidence.
Yesterday I had hair extensions done because I had an awards ceremony to host that evening. I can not believe the results I look incredible. The whole experience was amazing, the beauticians catered to my every need they made me feel like a queen, the clients were so much fun. I left the salon buzzing and even got wolf whistled which hasn’t happened to me for a long time.
My husband wouldn’t leave me alone when I got home he was like a love sick puppy, my 15 year old daughter say’s she’s proud to have such a ‘yummy mummy’ and at the awards ceremony I was so the bell of the ball, I don’t think I received such compliments on my wedding day – I wish I’d known Superficial when I was getting married

This was my one and only mirodermabrasion, and I am still confused if I just had got too high expectations from the procedure which I should not have had. While it had some minor positive effects, I remain undecided if the procedure is worth the money.

I did not have major problems, just wanted to refresh the skin, and receive this "glowing look", that everyone is talking about. I would not say that I reached what I wanted. Yes, I felt that I got rid of some dead cells (similar to using scrub or deep cleanser - hardly much more than that). Probably my combination skin became a tiny bit dryer, which is good in my case. However nothing THAT extraordinary, and I would definitely not go for it for its full price. Also I had some redness and scratches during the next three days, which I had some worries about, but luckily they dissappeared pretty soon.

Re the salon itself. While the staff was polite and helpful, I would not really go for complicated procedures with potential side-effects there. I believe that microdermabrasion is a step towards medical procedures, and as such it imposes more requirements to the salon/staff level. The Superfifical just does not have this immaculate medical feeling and approach. Again, probably I am too cautious and misunderstand the procedure, which should be treated just as a variation of quick facial? Then it may be OKish. Still I've seen the places with much better ambiance.

Arrived at the salon at 10.15am on Saturday. I would advise everyone to use Google Streetmap beforehand so you know where to go as it's not obvious (no shopfront) as per other reviews. However, my issue was that I turned up and there was nobody to let me (and another lady) in. My appointment was for 10.30am and the other lady's at 10am. We rang on the buzzer numerous times and rang... no response. We got into the "walkway" as the dental surgery next door let us in but couldn't get into the Salon as the door was locked.

Someone finally turned up at 10.30am, and just walked straight past us. When asked if she worked at Superficial she said "yes, i'm late I know, I had to make a call". I was gobsmacked by the lack of professionism as she was over half an hour late to open up and amazed she was unrepentent or sympathetic!

I finally had my treatment half an hour later. I asked the therapist (same lady who was late) lots of questions about the treatment and she was very knowledgeable- took the time to explain exactly what she would be doing, how it works etc (I asked). She was all in all very friendly and I think flustered by being late perhaps just didn't know how to handle that situation properly. My skin felt very soft after and was glowing. My skin was not left red or with any scratch marks etc. However not as much effect on reducing the appearance of my scars. The treatment was not as harsh/rough as anticipated and the therapist used a new rubber tip. One gripe is that when she was mixing the facemask she was doing it right by my head on the treatment bed! Did not enjoy that.

The Salon itself looks a bit gubby, it's not a spa, there's no relaxing music/dim lights and there's a clock in the room which ticks loudly. A very no frills salon.

I must mention that on my way home the salon manager (Emma) called to apologise for what had happened which was greatly welcomed she also offered me a complimentary treatment which I was not expecting so I will be going back for a free microdermabrasion session but that will probably be my last visit to this salon.

The place was a little difficult to find as the number on the building isnt immediately obvious. The facilities at the salon are basic, but good & clean. The therapist was very nice, but the treatment was less satisfactory than expected. Main complaint about the salon is lack of relaxing music and soft lighting when the mask is applied and you are left in the room for 10-15min to relax while the mask does its thing.

In the past, microdermabrasion, while harsh, has left my skin feeling very soft, unclogged and has reduced the appearance of acne scars. This treatment did none of those things. So, all in all, disappointing. Glad i had a discount voucher through Wahanda!

My therapist was nice and friendly, but i felt she did not clean my face from my days make up effectively before she started the microdermabrasion. It was more of a damp sponge wipe over. As a result I went home that evening and washed my face to make sure it was clean before bed! I have had microdermabrasion treatments before, but felt as if the therapist didnt have that much experience with them. Im glad I didnt pay full price, but I don't think it was worth the discounted price either. The best thing about it was the face mask she put on my skin (but I cold have done that at home!!)

The location was hard to find for me. The treatment rooms are in the basement but clean and modern. The massage was very average. It seems that a good masseuse is hard to find these days. However, I enjoyed the microdermabrasion.

I am sorry to say this, but Superficial Covent Garden was the most unclean and unhygienic salon I have ever been to. It is located in the basement of a covent garden building, and while going down the dirty stairway with sticky carpet, I was seriously debating if I should turn back. Inside the salon, they really tried to make the place look decent, but, the fact was that is an old, dirty place that needs a renovation. The treatment room was the worst. No carpet, just a concrete floor, dark and dirty with garbage strewn around and dirty gloves were on full display on the treatment table. I thought that the therapist may throw this away and clean up a bit before the start of the treatment, but that did not happen. So while I was receiving my treatment, I wondered how clean anything in this place could be. The machine they used for microdermabrasion was a rather primitive one with a narrow plastic hose that they glide over your face. I was worried that the hose has not been cleaned as no exchanging of hose tips was carried out before my treatment. I left feeling unclean and I am surprised and disappointed that Wahanda included this place in their mob deal. The price was the same as getting the treatment at another salon, and I think Wahanda should check out the places before listing them in Mobdeals.

After reading my initial review of this place I have decided to change my ratings due to complications I had following my appointment. This was the first time I had ever had a microdermabrasion so after a lot of research I was really looking forward to a wonderful treatment and some amazing results. Since my appointment I have disappointedly learnt that the treatment I experienced was not normal and in fact, although my skin did look better which could have simply been because I hadn't had a facial for a couple of months, I certainly expected better results than what I came away with. I've since been told that maybe my therapist was inadequately trained and quite rough in the treatment she was giving me as the problems I had the following week I should not have experienced. I was advised that I should wear spf30 suntan lotion for at least the following 2 days but we should be told this before the appointment so we can prepare for this and buy in advance as I don't usually wear spf30.
The day after the treatment my skin felt like it was slightly burning and and I had 3 track marks on my face where she had obviously caught the machine on my skin. I also started to get scratch lines on my face where it looked like she had stretched my skin with the vacuum tool and eventually turned into raised welt marks on the 2nd day. I actually got quite upset at how I looked and I took photos of these marks as I started to have cause for concern and certainly didn't think it was normal. My skin continued to peel in patches for a week which I have been told is normal and part of the process but again, wasn't explained to me. I feel the overall treatment and after care advice was very poor and nearly a month later, my skin looks no different. At my age I cannot afford any unnecessary damage being done to my skin especially my face. It's one thing to save money, but when it comes to my face, next time I would rather pay full price at a reputable salon who will look after me and give me the treatment I expect at the highest standard. Please make sure you read reviews and go somewhere where they know what they are doing and take more care in the treatments. I certainly do not recommend this place for microdermabrasions!

The salon was hard to find, you have to go down an alleyway with other offices. Once in the there is a school running outside the therapy room with music blasting. The treatment itself was fine in the treatment room but you could hear all the conversation and music outside so not very relaxing. 2 days after the treatment i had track lines on my face where the tip had gone over and looked like i had been scratched all over. I have had microdermabrasions before and that is not supposed to happen. Dissapointed.

I've been visiting Beauty Essence for about three years now. The salon's in a great location in the heart of Mayfair and prices are reasonable, given its exclusive address. The decor could do with a very slight refresh/modernisation but I'd rather enjoy some value for money than go to a place that is seriously swanky. Everything you need is there. The therapists are charming, experienced and knowledgeable. I always know that I will have a calming and tip top treatment when I go. I've had micro-dermabrasion, facials, waxing, laser treatment, eyelash perming and tinting as well as spray tans at Beauty Essence and each treatment has been really good. I would thoroughly recommed them to anyone.

The whole experience was great. The package was great value for money and the therapist made me really at ease (first bikini wax)! I was particularly impressed with the eyebrow threading too as have never had this done before. My pedicure lasted for about a month too which was brilliant! The salon facilities were nice too.

Do not go here if you value your face!
I have had Microdermabrasion facials a number of times at various clinics around the world so knew what I should be getting myself in for, but I was dumbfounded by what was done to my face!
I popped out on my lunch break for the treatment and was expecting to return slightly flushed (based on how my skin has reacted to previous Microdermabrasion facials), however the treatment was so rough that my collegues keep asking me what I had done to my face. By the time I returned home that evening my face was a terrible mess - I had scratch marks all over my face and my skin felt like it was on fire that I was recommended to apply ice packs! By the morning my face was still very 'scratchy' looking and four days later I can still make out marks on my face! I have never experienced such a terrible facial in my life.
In addition to the terrible results, my therapist did not say a word to me during the treatment and also appeared to be a heavy smoker as her hands and breath both smelt strongly of nicotine - this also added to the disgust of my experience - having sometime breath smoky breath and rub their smoky fingers/hands all over my face made me want to be sick!
After the treatment the therapist kept asking if I was ok and if my face hurt - this wasn't reassuring at all!
I would have paid NOT to have gone for this experience as my skin has been damaged and has come off worse than when I went in.
I am generally a very positive person and look on the bright side of all experiences - I have never written a review for any beauty therapist/restaurant/hotel etc before, however feel so strongly about this experience that I would like to warn others.

The salon is difficult to find, the there is no buzzer for the Superficial salon itself. I ended up walking in with someone else who was visting the dentist there. The salon itself is not in good condition with wires hanging around and general lack of care. The bathroom i visited was dirty. However on a positive note the therapist i had was lovely and all the staff i encountered were very nice. The treatment itself was good, and the therapist let me know what she was doing at each step. I was left alone when the face mask was applied after the microdermabrasion, and someone else walked into the room, which wasn't very nice or comforting.
All in all good treatment and good value with the offer but the salon need some work.

Absolutely shocking! They were running late. The receptionist knew absolutely nothing, not even their own email address or how to direct me from one block away. I waited for an hour. Then got put into a grubby little room for a quick pedicure, then left to wait again. They were clearly massively overbooked and doing several clients in the same slot. I was then taken upstairs to have a brazillian wax. To save time they did my eyebrows threading at the same time. OUCH! I was then left - (Midway through the wax!!) in this empty room for about 45 minutes. eventually she came back, finished off, did a quick dermabrasion which I dont think was the full treatment. And then after all that and many discussions with the receptionist about my voucher they stopped me going out the door to check if I had paid, like I was trying to do a runner. It wasted my entire sunday and was terrible!!

I visted Skin Deep for the first time in June as they had some great offers on Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion, and a friend had mentioned it to me. The therapist Lisa was really knowledgable about the treatment, and spent plenty of time telling all about it... The salon was clean and tidy, and the other staff who I spoke to were lovely. I've since been back to have a hair cut and some highlights with Miller, who is amazing at what he does, my hair has never been better!!!
I love this place - its down to earth and friendly, and the staff always do whatever they can to help. I would definately recommend this salon to anyone !

I got the wahanda mob deal and decided to get the microdermabrasion for my congested face and a back massage for my sore shoulders. The location is quite central behind Green park tube and the salon was clean and modern with a calm ambience. Microdermabrasion was really good - my face felt soft and supple for many days afterwards, and it was not as painful as I expected it to be. But the back massage was awful. It was more painful than relaxing and for some reason, the therapist kept on trying to pry her hands into the gap in my shoulder blades despite my painful yelps. I remember walking around in pain for a few days afterwards. So don't go there for a massage - but do get the facials!

Very simple surroundings, small pedicure room, but nice music to help you relax. Katie who did the waxing and pedicure was nice and friendly. Tracey who did the Microdermabraion was nice also.

I didn't think there was anything luxury about the pedicure (except the fact you are in a room on your own) but the quality was not up to my standard.

It seems that they have good relationships with their regular customers which is nice and it is a quiet salon to go to, to get your treatments. Very homely type of feel to it as it is not on ground level - so you don't see people walking past.

The lady that does the threading is VERY good.

I am from West London so I would not make it my regular salon, but if I was in the area and needed my eyebrows threaded I would go there.

Please do not waste your time and money to this clinic in Harley Street and Harrow

FEEKBACK from existing client is extremely important to them but i never manage to put up any of my feedback to their website - WHY???

Because :
Poor enviroment
Bad service
Attitude problem
Prices changing whenever she like
Igornes your message, email, phone calls if you do not spend enough money with her treatments
Do not bother to spend your money to any of her packages with this clinic, she wont have time to deal with you once you paid
Cancel/change your appointment if you do not spend enough money
Worest facial clinic in London
Do not bother to ask any questions, because her answer to me was I DO NOT NEED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU, can you believe this???
Do not treat her, she just want to grab your money and would not able to provide her services
Facial Clinic service is based on word of mouth, and she certainly did not get my vote...!

I went to Destination skin for my first microdermabrasion. On entry the facilities are great, it looks sleak and professional. However I was nervous about the treatment as I have sensitive skin.
In the room I was walked through a consultation which included the recommendation for a 6 course treatment which I had to sign. As with the other reviews I felt the sell from the outset. I mentioned that I would like to see the results of the treatment before commiting to a course. One of the reasons for choosing Destination skin is looked more like a clinic rather than a normal spa so I thought that the treatment and the advice would be very professional.
Unfortunately I would say the actual treatment was not what I expected nor was it professional enough for my standards. My therapist was Suzette who manage to make the overall treatment rough, rushed and not very relaxing. The machine was held very hard against my skin, which from my reading is not what is expected. I even had some hairs from my hairline removed and some folds of my skin repeatedly clipped. A therapist should use soft gentle hands which wasn't done with the cleanser and moisteriser.
I don't think I would go back.

This was my first visit to destination skin. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who told me about the offers they currently had, gave me information about the other treatments they did and then gave me a form to fill in.
The environment is very bright and clinical. My therapist Marianne then talked me through alternative treatments for my skin, indicating which ones she felt would suit me and also my 'wish list' of potentially other areas I wanted to tackle. I found her to be very professional, attentive and helpful. The treatment lasted approximately 30-40 minutes, beginning with a deep cleanse and ending with a hydrating serum to finish which refreshed my skin and added a lovely glow!
I thoroughly enjoyed my initial experience, especially with the 50% off deal price. I will be returning to do a course of follow up treatments!

I went to the spa in November with a friend and really had an amazing time! I can't say enough about the spa to my friends and family members now - it was my first trip there and it really was amazing. I had a massage and a facial (microdermabrasion) and both were great. The relaxation room was my favorite part because of the comfortable blankets and privacy curtains. We were the only ones in the relaxation room and we talked at a normal volume-sometimes getting pretty loud - the spa staff didnt ask us to quite down which was really nice.
I hope to get a gift card from there this Christmas to go back after the new year.

I just had a facial this morning with Linda Meredith herself, and aside from being slightly embarrassed for having so many blackheads (although Linda was quite patient and gracious for having to clean me up!), the experience and the results were fantastic.

After a cleansing, she used the microdermabrasion machine because she said I needed to have the top layer of my skin refreshed. She then used an all-natural glycolic peel on my skin (she said it was from nuts & apples) - the peel tingled slightly. The rest of the facial was wonderful, and Linda has magic hands.

I must make it a point to go back more often! Through Wahanda I only paid £75 for the facial, which is really a great deal. As some of the other reviewers mention, the salon is not plush, but the treatments are about results and not for pampering.

Staff was very attentive and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable and on ease.
The result of CACI was the best i have had since i have done it before, and really enjoyed the microdermabrasion. The price is very reasonable and the standard of service is excellent and they are happy to advise. I am almost finishing my CACI course and would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants good service at a good price. I highly recommend this place. Thanks!!!

After not being too impressed initially at the Wahanda event a few weeks ago, I returned for a microdermabrasion treatment as the introductory offer made it a good deal(20% off making the treatment £44) , and I wanted to try it out. Since it wasn't a sales event this time round, the staff were a lot more relaxed, which in turn helped me relax.
The therapist, Dion, had a very calming nature and was extremely informative. I have never had a treatment such as this before and was rather nervous until she explained every part of the process, from what she was using to prime my skin, how the treatment would feel, to after care and future treatments.
The treatment itself was great. I have been told by many people that a course of them is recommended, but I could tell a major difference from just my first treatment. My face and neck were a lot smoother and much more even than before. There was a slight tingling sensation when she massaged some antioxidant into my skin but that is a normal reaction.
Overall, I am happy with the treatment and am going back for a course later this week.

Coming from South Africa , my skin is severely sun damaged, my face literally covered in freckles and sun spots. I came across DestinationSkin when I was shopping in House of Fraser, and was put on a course of IPL and skin peels to lighten the spots. So far I’ve had 4 treatments and I’m already seeing results, spots are definitely lighter and don’t stand out as much. Have to mention my practitioner Danielle who is fab. Love the atmosphere in the clinic, really professional. Next stop Botox!”

Beautiful U Day Spa is outstanding. I attended with a group of four friends to celebrate my birthday. As we walked into the salon the fragrance of essential oils and soft music immediately started to melt our tension away. The dim lights and soothing decor was relaxing to our eyes and mind. Immediately we were served with warm herbal teas or mineral water to hydrate our body while a thorough consultation was taken. During our spa treatments the couch and towels were heated for comfort and to help relax our tensed muscles.

All the therapist were smartly dressed in brown uniform and the customer service was first class. The staff were extremely attentative, we did not feel rushed, we felt cared for and each treatment was personalised to meet our needs. You feel welcomed and looked after from the minute you walk through the door to the minute you leave.

We really appreciate having this Beautiful Haven on our doorstep and we have been attending every month since 2005. We have now tried all the treatments in the brochure and rate each one 10 out of 10.

I visited Sk:n when it first opened and was really excited by it. A general open day, all staff were on hand to dish out advice and direct you to treatments you should be having. With a really sleek design, it struck me as somewhere I'd go back and try a treatment...which I did, about a month later.

One thing I hate is when you have expectations that just aren't met and unfortunately this was the case when I took my second trip to Sk:n. After mentioning I sometimes suffered with dry skin on my initial visit, they'd booked me in for one of their special microdermabrasion treatments. Not the most soothing or relaxing of treatments, it felt like I was having a hoover pulled and pushed over my face whilst little bits of gravel pounded my skin (apparently it wasn't gravel, it was micro-crystals).

Maybe I'm being dramatic, it was a while ago, but what I was really miffed about was how it left my skin afterwards. I knew it would be red for a few hours but it was drier than ever before. I mentioned that I'd be travelling to New York a few days after the treatment where the temperature was considerably lower than in Birmingham, (conditions that dry skin out regardless of whether you've had a few layers of the stuff removed or not), but I was assured that it wouldn't be a problem. I even got roped into spending £70 on product sthat would keep my skin as smooth as a baby's bottom. Did it heck? On my second day in America, I had to hunt down a chemist that sold super rich moisturising cream.Needless to say I've not been back to Sk:n since.

Located in the middle of Highgate Village (convenient for me) this is what I'd call another local fall-back spot. They offer a range of treatments including facials, manicures, massages and waxing, but I've only sampled the facials (microdermabrasion) and manicures -- once each.

They fit a lot in to their small space, so it does feel slightly cramped (and not the best lighting), but at least they are efficient. (For massages I think I'd feel more comfortable at Highgate Health Centre across the road.)

My manicure was definitely fine (average), but no fan for drying if you're in a hurry -- or at least none offered to me, but since I wasn't in a rush that day it was fine.

Facial was great (therapist definitely knew what she was doing with the microdermabrasion) but as is the case with microdermabrasion, it's a bit pricey (better if you buy in advance a package or series of several at a time).

It's not 5-stars for me because I'm not dying to go back or booked in (yet) for any other treatment, but the staff are professional, friendly and approachable and it serves its purpose, being nice and conveniently located in the village.
