Urban Retreat (Hair Salon)
10 December 2007

I'm a total pain wimp when it comes to waxing. I have tried so many salons but this one surpasses all of them by miles. Maybe it was the waxer (can't recall her name but she is going to Canada anyway), but I don't think so. This is why it's worth paying a little extra - hardly any pain as they insist on using hot wax, which is far less painful than strip wax. She did Hollywood, underarm, full leg in 45 minutes and I left feeling happy enough to book in for another treatment in the salon upstairs! Which is also pretty good by the way (pedicure with lovely foot massage). I'm now thinking about trying their hair salon...

Bloww (Hair Salon)
10 December 2007

I really wouldn't go here again. They charged me £20 extra as a new client (i.e. on top of published prices) and after a £100 hair cut I wasn't left feeling any different. I asked for something that would change my even-length hair to something with a bit of style and personality, but instead Paul just put layers into the ends and shortened it by about 3 inches. Not very creative and therefore a disappointment - I could have gone anywhere for this sort of cut.
