Probably the best waxing I've ever had, amazingly friendly, professional staff and the hot wax that they use is really effective but gentle - no redness at all, am so happy with the result will definitely be coming back for all my treatments!
I'm 50/50 on my pedicure service from The Beauty Lounge.
Venue: Small but pretty and clean. There is a back room which I did not visit and another small room where I had pedicure. The seat is like the ones you find in hospitals/dentists, so you're kind of reclined. This was ok until I had to shift myself and sit on the edge of chair when I had to soak feet, which was unsupportive of my back and felt uncomfortable, especially whilst being left in there alone legs dangling.
Staff: Only two ladies working on day of treatment. The one working on my feet was talkative and friendly however she disappointed me when she made an offensive remark about a certain topic we were chatting about and when she didn't introduce me to the other staff member when she came in to paint my nails. This second lady didn't say a word to me and she didn't even look at me with a courteous warm smile, which is the least I expect from staff.
Treatment: The pedicure didn't take long - although if there was more care put into the massage and nail painting, perhaps it taking longer wouldn't have been a bad thing. Main lady working on my feet took care to ask how I wanted my toenails cut and what colours should be used, which I appreciated. Filing of feet, soak and massage were very mediocre. The soak was just a small basic tub of hot (I say hot but it wasn't hot enough) tap water which got cold quickly. This definitely was not a spa pedicure. Filing was quick. Massage with cream was mediocre and lasted for like 3 minutes. Nail painting was done by another lady who seemed like she didn't care to work that day, or maybe just not on me. Two quick coats of base colour - she didn't even wait in between for drying - then a thin strip of white tips, which she didn't go over! I was dissatisfied to say the least, but I want to do open reviews for others to see so I kept it moving.
Overall experience: Let's just say I'm not returning to this salon for a pedicure.
