This morning I had a wonderful Face facial with Vee at Rock Chic Beauty. The overall experience was relaxing was exactly what my skin needed after all the hot and sticky weather we have been having.
The venue is well situated close to Waterloo station though the room itself is quite small and in a shared office building. However, it is clean and well equipped and the actual treatment more than makes up for the lack of ambiance. I was offered tea or water when I arrived. Vee then talked through the treatment at every stage and and was firm but gentle. My skin feels clean for the first time in ages.
I am now looking to see what other treatments I may enjoy and would be happy to return.
It was good! Skin already looks better and the neck/shoulder massage was very relaxing. The therapist was very kind and I liked her relaxed approach. Good job well done ++
I had a great therapist and the overall pedicure was very good - the place is not really somewhere that has any frills though - i didnt go to the Waterloo one but the one on Mortimer st which is in a booth thats part of a tanning salon.... but as the price is reasonable and the therapist good i would come again
I absolutely loved my experience! My therapist was Rita, she was so amazing. The direction was slightly hard to find, but once I arrived, she made me feel relaxed and comfortable. My first treatment was a dermalogica facial - from start to finish I felt at ease. I enjoyed the fact that she explained every step to me and gave reasons of why she is using a particular product, especially since this was my first time getting this type of facial. I then had a shoulder massage - which was very relaxing - the music made it extra special. Finally, I had a luxury spa manicure (my first) and it was so different- nothing like normal manicures, oh no.
I really liked that she made me feel at ease and we had a great conversation (lets be honest sometimes some people can make you feel like an alien in their establishment). I have already recommend this place to friends already and I will certainly be going back. Good value for money - words cannot express just how happy I felt after I left- thoroughly enjoyed it.
For anyone wanting to go - you will not regret it - try it and see!
I had visited Rock Chic Beauty for facials quite a few time prior to there change of location and always really enjoyed. This latest trip however has put me off and will not be returning. Aside from the slightly odd location in the reception area of a shared office and the water heater next to your head which sounded like a pneumatic drill my biggest problem was with the therapist. I saw a different lady this time to my previous visits. The treatment itself was lacking as out of an hour i spent 15-20 mins under a steamer, 15-20 mins with a mask on. Whilst getting rid of some of the blemishes on my skin she insisted on making me look at what had come out of my skin, as a grown up with some spots / blackheads i am aware of what they look like and do not think it is appropriate to be forced to look at them 'fat that has come out of your face' as she so nicely described it. When i was lying there trying to relax with the mask on all i could here were phone notifications going off and her shuffling around. there was very little in the way of treatments other than the steam, a mask and some kind of lotion.
This was not in any way a relaxing facial and did not feel worth the money
