We were three. The chairs etc are set up so that we could chat easily with one another. Our "pit stop" manicures were as advertised: we were in, chat, nails done, and then off we each off to our next thing: dinner with family, drinks with friends, and home-sweet-home. Their selection of nail colours was half the fun. I am loving my charcoal grey, almost blue nails today.
Another great trip to Cucumba. There's always last minute availability here which makes it perfect to pop in after work. There's a great selection of Essie colours and i always get at least four days of pristine nails before chips.
Cucumba is fast becoming one of my favourite beauty venues in London after I discovered it last year, through Wahanda. The concept is great - you pick your treatment and then select whether you need a quick fix, or something more intensive. The Salon is nicely decorated and friendly and welcoming, in a great location just off Oxford Street.
I've been a few times already this month, and at the great prices it will be a regular treat for me. The Quick Fix mani is spot on - a quick file and polish. The shape is always great and the selection of colours means I'm never able to decide quickly! The Pit Stop is just a few minutes longer and includes cuticle work and moisturising. The Quick Fix is fine for my weekly visits, but I add in the Pit Stop every so often to make sure my nails are in tip top condition. I visit with my friend and we always sit together and gossip during the manis, making it a perfect post-work treat.
Another great Quick Fix mani at Cucumba. The therapists are warm, welcoming and friendly. The Quick fix is a fairly straightforward and basic mani, a shape, file and paint - perfect for a quick after work visit.
They have a huge range of Essie colours and let you try a few before you settle on one colour, great if you are indecisive.
Amazing massage, the right pressure and the therapist constantly checked to see that I wasn't in pain. I walked out of there feeling the right combination of relaxed and muscle 'bruising' that makes the perfect massage.
Thank you :)
