Really quick and pain free Hollywood wax, the least painful I've ever had. Have recommended this place to my friends and will most definitely be coming back myself

Great manicure, finished nicely and looks like it'll last as long as my last from Beauty on the Spot (almost 3 weeks!). Only criticism is the removal of my previous shellac polish. I know for a fact that the top layer of the polish does not need to be filed away before soaking in acetone and I have an aversion to filing the nail surface. Not only this, the acetone was only left on for a few minutes, particularly for my second hand, which meant that the full shellac didn't come away easily and had to be filed down. Across salons, I always look for CND shellac as the product because I don't want my nail surface to be filed or damaged so this was disappointing. In future, I'd be inclined to remove myself before my appointment. Apart from this, great manicure and would definitely recommend, just probably not the "soak-off"

This is a tiny salon on the first floor of an anonymous looking building tucked away in a courtyard in the city. I'd struggle to call it a salon, being honest. It's a waiting room with a couple of nail bars and a couple of private rooms coming off it. I arrived on time, however, my beautician was running late. She did let me know this as I arrived and I waited patiently. I was eventually seen after about 20 minutes and it was clear that she was seeking to make up time as she waxed my legs as quick as she could. I think a 40 minute appt came down to about 25. I felt hurried and not at all valued. When she left me alone in the room to dress afterwards, the waiting room was so full, people were peering in...have to say I felt very exposed.
When I got home, I noticed there was quite a lot of bits of wax left on my legs. No hair, thankfully. After a shower, it all came off.
The beautician herself was a lovely lady - very smiley and chatty - the 3 stars are hers, not the salon's. I fully get that she was doing what she could and that things weren't her fault. But my lasting memory of the place is as a pile-em-high, sell-em-cheap, wheel-em-in, wheel-em-out kind of place. Not at all relaxing, just very functional.
On the plus side, booking via Treatwell was seamless.

Fiest time tried this place. Friendly people. They ran out some gel polish colours so I had to choose smt else. It was a common red colour so I would expect them to store in the shop in advance.
