The therapist was fantastic and I really enjoyed the facial - my skin felt great and I left feeling utterly relaxed. My only criticism is with the timings. I booked an appointment at 6.15pm but was not seen until just after 6.30pm, and would have appreciated if I could have been told on arrival that there may be a delay in me being seen and being given the option to rebook, particularly if they penalise you if you arrive more than 15 minutes late.
I just had an eyebrow wax and it was exactly what I would have expected. The appointment was quick and easy and I'll probably go back again because it's a good location.
I had the dry pedicure at Cucumba, which uses an electronic file to blast away the dry skin. The therapist was very thorough and did a good job with the filing, followed by a great foot massage and nail paint. I was impressed and would definitely go back, although next time I would allow more time as the treatment was over 1 hour 30 minutes.
My therapist was welcoming, friendly and chatty. I was offered a drink and we discussed which kind of pedicure I would prefer. I had the dry skin busting foot package which included using an electric file to remove the hard skin from my feet which worked really well. I was given a relaxing massage and then my feet were left in hot boots to relax. I enjoyed the whole experience
I have been looking for a place that does "dry pedicure" for a while. Without any luck. Until I came across Cucumba. I read through reviews before purchasing Wahanda voucher (no one is happy to just throw their money away, right?) and as it was a very good offer (1/2 price I think) I went for it. I called the salon as soon as I bought the voucher & was very pleasantly surprised that they could fit me in the very next day.
Now, don't expect water fountains, candles & soothing music. This place is in the heart of busy Soho & not huge, therefore can get quite busy. But the staff are very, very welcoming and pleasant. If you are aiming for a quick pit-stop to refresh your manicure before going out, this is your place.
I had my toenails quickly shaped & cuticles pushed back a little & then it was time to tend to my hooves. I really didn't envy the therapist. But she didn't seem to be shocked by the amount of dry skin on my heels and the balls of my feet (paying the price for loving those high heels). She explained to me how was the skin removal to be done and set to work. It took a while. In fact, I was still there after their closing hours! No one was rushing me out of the doors & another girl spend a few minutes massaging a lotion into my feet. It was a bliss.
My other half came to collect me & whilst waiting I tried to persuade him to come back to have his back waxed! You guess correctly, the answer was a resolute no. Chicken. But I'm not giving up.
In the meantime, planning another visit to Cucumba...
