Henna Beauty is a discreet salon located on the first floor of a building adjacent to a nursery and…read moreCaribbean eatery. It's a ladies-only beauty parlour that offers all face and body treatments and massages. It's best to book an appointment for lengthy treatments such as body waxing or facials. However, you can drop-in for eyebrow threading. My favourite threading therapist is Jyoti. She gave my eyebrows a shape that I never knew existed! And it costs just £2.50! It gets busy during the school-run when mums drop-in so I'd avoid going at this time. Satya is the head beautician who executes most of the facials, massages and waxing treatments. She is very knowledgeable and professional in her approach. She is also welcoming and bubbly. Just listen out for the laugh and that's Satya! The salon also offers mendhi, eyebrow tinting and bridal services. It's a homely salon with all the essentials and no pretence.

I went to Henna Beauty Salon for a half leg wax…read more As I tried to take my mind off the pain, I noticed that the inside décor of the room was pleasant, it was quite neutral although some of the posters on the wall looked old and could do with modernising. There were a range of products that they must use for treatments such as facials but I'm not sure if they sell these behind the counter as I was in too much pain to ask. Not my most favourite treatment, mainly due to the pain, but they did the job and I could wear a skirt once more!

Going to see Julie for treatments is like going from home…read more Julie's studio is based in the Hampton Lofts building and is a serene enclave in what is, well actually a relatively quiet neighbourhood that is barely 15 minutes walk from the city centre. I've had one or two wax treatments from Julie, who chat's to you like an old friend throughout. Julie also offers an array of other services; massage, including aromatherapy, and facials that include treatments for acne, sensitive skin, anti ageing or something simply to hydrate tired skin. There is also the option of hand and feet care including the obligatory manicures and pedicures although that's not my thing. There are also tanning treatments and products to available, all of which you can discuss with Julie.

So, I walked in here asking what Male packages they offer, and how much to smooth me up round the…read moreedges. This is a little surprise in Liberty Place, and offers a one stop place for any beauty treatment that you may be after, or need help convincing to try! There is nothing that they don't wax, treat, tan, polish, buff, massage, tidy up etc. I felt they have a substantial and good mix of treatments for the modern man. If you just want a facial, a shoulder wax, or want to go the whole hog and book yourself in for an 'Indulgence' experience, they've got it covered. Also note, that some of the package treatments are a good 3-4 hours, so be prepared to be well looked after for what you pay. I noticed they also use the Dermalogica brand, which is well trusted, and a market leader in the beauty industry. You wont be disappointed with this beauty haven. I now know where to go next time I have a hot date. Closed Monday's and Sunday's, open from 10am-9pm Tuesday-Thursday, and late on Fridays, closes at 5.30pm on Saturday's.

This is one of my favourite beauty salons in Birmingham. It's very clean and stylish with wooden…read morefloors throughout. The seating area is well stocked with magazines and the beautician girls are always really friendly and chatty. Before you go in for your treatment, you'll notice a range of products for sale ranging from the Dermalogica skin range, including face wash and moisturising cream, to nail varnishes and jewellery. They have a sunbed available which is cheaper during the day time if you can get there. I know a few people that go here for spray tans as they use the celebrity tanning products which give a golden look. I however, go here to have bits waxed. The girls are very professional and always do it in the quickest, most painless way possible.. although it still hurts! They offer a great all in package called stripped bare which gets you in tip top shape and saves you a lot of money as it's only £45 for everything. Highly recommended.

I strolled past Desire Hair & Beauty and was caught by the mention of IPL hair removal. The salon…read moreis owned by Asians so their ethos is to tailor for Black and Asian skin-types, which is limited in the world of laser hair removal! The salon is compact yet offers so much - hairdressing treatments, shellac nails, waxing, massages and even fish pedicures. I like their attention to detail during holidays or festivals, such as the decorations around Christmas and Halloween. I had laser done on my legs. The staff were bubbly and sociable and did all they could to distract me from the awful pain! However, I wasn't convinced they gave comprehensive coverage to the area, which is evident from the square patches left! I also got a manicure and pedicure done, which were not really value for money. I suppose I have tried and tested so many salons that I'm difficult to please! Overall, it's a homely salon that offers virtually all the treatments a girl could ask for from very friendly beauticians.

The lady who did my treatment had been qualified for years and felt very experienced. The massage itself wasn't as hard as I tend to like them but it did relax me and my muscles.

I go to this place to see Jay who offers the usual beauty services or in my case, the dreaded…read morewaxing! I've been going here since I moved to Birmingham in 2009 and lived across the street. Even though in 2010 I moved further into the city, the fact that Jay is now 20 minutes walk for me and yet I still go to see her says everything you need to know. I occasionally have other treatments but as far as the regular wax goes, the time goes so quickly and pleasantly as Jay keeps me talking throughout. She remembers everything I talked about during my last treatment and asks how I'm getting on with all my projects. We also swap movie chat and she listens patiently as I tell her about by travels and my writing. Jay has never been late for me despite always being busy. They offer late appointments and only take cash but there is a cash point right outside.

Situated in Edgbaston near the top of Broad St, this salon is very convenient for anyone living or…read moreworking near by. The interior is a lot more inviting than the exterior would lead you to believe. It;s decorated with patterned wallpaper which gives it a modern feel. They have a good clientele base with many regular faces popping in throughout the week. There have both stand up and lay down sunbeds available which you can either pre book or just walk in if you're passing by. Before you go in the sunbed, don't forget to ask the girl behind the desk for some goggles. They also sell a range of tanning creams which will prolong your tan so definitely worth asking about these if you pop in.

On my birthday, I was treated to a full body wrap. I had mentioned before about how much I loved my…read morefirst wrap so I was happy when I was given another one as the majority of women lose between 2-8 inches from around their body straight after the treatment! Perfect pick me up for anyone wanting to feel a bit slimmer. When I got there, they measured my body taking note of my current body size and started to wrap me up using bandages soaked in what can only be described as clay like substance. They were left on for around 60 minutes whilst I was left to lie on the bed and relax. Although the inch loss isn't permanent but a good start to a healthy diet, when I was measured I had lost 6 inches from different parts of my body. Great treatment if you want to feel extra special.
