As we all know, waxing is not the best experience and never a treat, but at least sometimes you get to go in beautiful institutes and why not indulge yourself with a nice massage or manicure.
Well for this experience in particualr, I have to say I was quite excited when they called me to say it will be in Park Plaza Victoria and not in Holiday Inn any more for a question of staff having moved. Anyway, once there I wasn't so excited any more.
The reception is the same as the gym on the 3rd basement, then it's a small room at the end of a basement hallway. The room by itself was quite clean and well equiped though with nice zen music. The therapist was very nice although she didn't spoeak mnuch of english as she's been in London for only a few weeks, but she definitely wasn't very use to using hot wax either ... It was very painful (more than usual, and I've been using hot wax for about 10 years, so believe me I know). I don't think I will go again.
Also because it's already started to grow again after only a week when it usualy last at least 2 or 3 weeks.

That was TRULY TERRIBLE. Worst I've ever had.
- Treatment was 20min late
- The therapist (Polish girl, petite, dark hair) didn;t know if wax was the right temperature
- She USED THE WRONG WAX - tried to strip it like lycon, when clearly it was the kind you use with strips. After pinching my private area for 5 min, she's tried using the strip and it KINDA worked. At this poit I've asked her to stop since she clearly didn't have a clue what she was doing......
- Also, before she started applying the wax, she wanted to "clean up the area a bit" and applied all sorts of lotions - THEN POWDER - THEN LOTION again ?!! it was a lot of rubbing and felt uncomfortable.
In fact, it was all so bad that she came back to me to give me a cash refund herself. The girl seemed more uncomfortable than I did - WHY, OH WHY would you try and do something if you don't have the skills?!
Beware. Seriously.
I have been to London Therapy4u a few times now, on this occasion I saw a different therapist, the massage was OK but I have had better here before. It is still worth a trip.

The spa was quite small but we like this as it felt more personal. The facilities were very good and the staff were excellent. The value for money was also excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend this venue.

Great massage, very relaxing. Massage therapist was very good and managed to get the knots out of my back and shoulders. Great sevice by the staff and I was very happy overall.
