I love Aveda products so was happy that the salon used Aveda products. The nail varnish used is called Zoya, a natural one and the colours were lovely. The therapist was friendly and thorough. I decided to have a waxing treatment while I was there and this was very quick and efficient. I would recommend this salon and it wasn't too busy and in a nice location.
Nice manicure, very relaxing and quiet environment. Therapist didn't talk much - she seemed shy but manager was very nice and friendly. I could see someone having their hair done while I was having a manicure and the stylist was very nice and talkative.
I summed it all up in a blog post here http://makeupbykaty.blogspot.com/2010/06/longest-lasting-manicure-ive-ever-had.html where I describe how much I enjoyed it and what made it the best treatment I've had in a long time.
I visited the Puro Lifestyle Salon & Spa with my friend Linsey to enjoy the Mobdeal manicure--an absolute bargain at 10 GBP! The salon had an open plan and was very bright and airy. I had scheduled our appointments before finding out that I was pregnant. As I was in my first trimester and this is my first pregnancy, I was a bit worried about potential fumes and chemicals the products that would be used. Our therapist assured us that they used safe, quality products (Aveda-approved), and everything was fine. Even my polish was completely organic! We were delighted with our pretty, polished tips and the results lasted for about 10 days--not bad for a manicure on a busy woman.
The manicure was fantastic - the therapist took her time and gave me a massage and cuticle oil etc and I was impressed with the quality of the polish, I would definitely go back and would recommend to others. The location was also good.
