I chose Body Essential based on the location (it was convenient to where I would be for that day only) but now that I've been the once, I would definitely make the journey for a return visit. The facilities and amenities were fabulous and the lady who cut and styled my hair (Lucia) was top notch. Highly recommended and I look forward to my next visit. Many thanks to Wahanda and Body Essential for a great experience.
I have had spray tans before and never been left so streaky and wet. I have also never had to stand infront of a domestic house fan to dry out for 30 minutes before I left (I didnt actually dry at all whilst there). When I expressed my shock at having to stand there so long and still being so wet, 1 of the staff members were extremely rude. It makes me so furious when I pay money and was kindly expressing a concern and she was so rude back. I must say the lady who did my tan and the receptionist were polite, but that 1 lady has really frustrated me and was unhelpful and rude. I wasnt happy with the quality of the tan either.
The service was friendly, polite and efficient. I was just a bit disappointed after all the good reviews I'd seen of the salon - I'd expected it to be pretty good, if not brilliant, and my hair cut was fine but quite basic. It did the job but I didn't leave feeling as though it looked great, which was a bit of a shame.
I had a Dermalogica 1hr facial, I would highly recommend it and will definitely go back myself. Staff very friendly and competent, great value for money.
