Excellent treatment in an excellent salon. Very professional and a very thorough treatment which is just want you want with a Hollywood. Thanks so much.
I booked this for my husband after some searching as not many places seem to do massages for men locally. Mens Swedish massage at Therapy Hair and Beauty (located right in Ealing Broadway) was up some stairs at the back of the salon. Relaxing music for the massage which was well executed.
I love going to this salon. It's a proper professional salon, really nice staff at both reception and for the wax, very friendly. It's clean and professional and the wax is great, very thorough! I highly recommend this salon.
I am conflicted about how I feel about this place. For some reason, I just felt good there and the staff were really nice. However, I had to wait 25 minutes for my waxing and had it not been a rare day where I had some extra time, this would have really annoyed me. I was told it would be a 10 minute wait when I arrived. To their credit, they did offer me drinks twice and the coffee was lovely.
I was also asked repeatedly if I wanted a hollywood or a Brazilian (on the phone for confirmation and again in the salon). I didn't really understand why - I booked a Brazilian why would I suddenly change my mind? Only when I got into the room did the girl explain that a Brazilian in their studio is essentially just a bikini wax with a strip left (i.e. no lips or bum done). Well this is the first place I've heard that! I opted for the Hollywood with a strip left (so what I think is commonly known as a Brazilian...) and then had to pay an extra £8.
The waxing itself hurt a lot! More than I remember waxing hurting (granted it'd been a while but still!) and I'm not convinced it was the Lycan wax. When I mentioned this to the girl she said yeah yeah but I didn't see 2 options of wax there. Considering it's supposed to be more gentle, I really don't think it was! I will say though that the girl was very good at keeping conversation going throughout and was very nice so that made it a more bearable experience but it certainly wasn't pleasant at all.
I'm not sure if I'll go back here - it's very convenient for me and the prices are comparable but I didn't enjoy paying extra or the wait.
