Cucumba is fast becoming one of my favourite beauty venues in London after I discovered it last year, through Wahanda. The concept is great - you pick your treatment and then select whether you need a quick fix, or something more intensive. The Salon is nicely decorated and friendly and welcoming, in a great location just off Oxford Street.
I've been a few times already this month, and at the great prices it will be a regular treat for me. The Quick Fix mani is spot on - a quick file and polish. The shape is always great and the selection of colours means I'm never able to decide quickly! The Pit Stop is just a few minutes longer and includes cuticle work and moisturising. The Quick Fix is fine for my weekly visits, but I add in the Pit Stop every so often to make sure my nails are in tip top condition. I visit with my friend and we always sit together and gossip during the manis, making it a perfect post-work treat.
Another great Quick Fix mani at Cucumba. The therapists are warm, welcoming and friendly. The Quick fix is a fairly straightforward and basic mani, a shape, file and paint - perfect for a quick after work visit.
They have a huge range of Essie colours and let you try a few before you settle on one colour, great if you are indecisive.
Amazing massage, the right pressure and the therapist constantly checked to see that I wasn't in pain. I walked out of there feeling the right combination of relaxed and muscle 'bruising' that makes the perfect massage.
Thank you :)
I have always thought that eyebrow threading was overrated, far more painful and less precise than waxing. My treatment at Cucumba showed me how wrong I was! I am now in possession of beautifully shaped, even eyebrows and the process was relatively painfree. A treatment like threading is entirely dependent on the skill of the therapist, Cucumba clearly understand this and provide well priced and highly skilled services in their cosy Soho hideaway.
Cucumba has a great service and value for money. Nice therapist and friendly staff, with a great location. This was my first fish pedicure & I will be going for a second!
