Although I've forgotten her name, Bulgarian lady who did the waxing was exceptionally friendly, professional and took a lot of time to pay attention to detail re blending, coverage etc. The spa itself needs redecoration as a priority, but I couldn't fault the treatment. Spot on.
Men's Waxing
No complaints from me! Staff were very friendly and inviting. I'll definitely be going back for more treatments, maybe a massage next time!
Pedicure
The Cove is perhaps a little dark and hippy looking, and also slightly tired round the edges. BUT I had one of the best massages I've ever had from Pat (I have had several!). She got into places no-one has before and for that reason I would definitely return!
Deep Tissue Massage
Perfectly acceptable. Nice place, though could do with a little freshening up, looking a little tired in places. Threading experience as enjoyable as can be expected. Very professional, quick and virtually painless. Friendly & relaxing. Intend to return when needed.
Facial Threading
The Cove itself is a little tired - it's got quite a hippyish vibe, but is perhaps a little darker inside than I have come to expect from treatment rooms.
My massage was around 20 minutes late starting - there was a customer on the phone and a customer trying to pay for their treatment, so I did have to wait. That said, my therapist did ensure the massage was the full 45 minutes.
The massage itself was painful, as I asked for the tension to be relieved in my neck, shoulders and back. I have to say though, it has worked...there's a lot more movement there now, so the therapist certainly knew what she was doing!
I would have liked a little more consultation at first, and more explanation of what to expect, and what to do next. Instead, I was told about offers for more massages - while interesting, it would have been good to discuss the tension and next steps in more detail.
I would go back again, but I might like to try other places in the area first.
