Tucked away in a small parade of shops on Pembroke Street that is within five minutes walk of the…read morecity centre, this independent boutique beauty salon offers a comprehensive list of beauty therapies, such as manicures and pedicures, facials, fake tanning and waxing for both men and women. It is set apart from the other beauty establishments in town by the quality of the treatments available as well as the stylish and opulently decorated premises in which these are carried out. The friendly proprietor and (currently only) therapist clearly takes great pride in both her work and her premises. She is very proficient at putting her clients at ease and lavishes them with individual attention, while working efficiently without seeming unduly hurried. She uses the American range of Dermalogica products for her treatments. As she works on her own, it is advisable to book a few days in advance. The salon offers a range of treatment packages as well as a great 15% discount for students.

Great treatment room, professional and friendly service in great settings, a real gem!read more

Perhaps this is harsh, however I shall not be going back, ever again. I showed up for my…read moreappointment three minutes late I called eight minutes earlier to inform them I was having difficulty finding parking. I get there and wait an hour while nothing to do with my hair happens, I sip on a beverage and have my coat removed from me. The cut and style I can not falt and inch off the bottom, and straight. The colour, and service is abysmal. I'm looking up hairdressers now to get it fixed, four appointments there and every time I'm assured that next time the colour will be fixed, £400 down the hole and days of my life I will never get back. Ordinarily I'm seen and abandoned to other clients, but never before colour or bleach has been applied. The colour I have is patchy due to the lack of foils, care, knowledge or attention. Tbh I think they should be ashamed. They talk a good talk, but aren't capable to walk the walk. Avoid.

I have been to Rush for a wash and blow dry a few times. On…read morethe positive: they wash hair very well. Blow drying is another matter- they can be aggressive in how they handle hair and I have left with hair that is wet at the back and needed straightening My main objection is how they deal with pricing! I called for an appointment and was told the cost would be £38!!!! When I went to pay the stylist charged me £32! Rush seem to want to get as much money as possible from their clients. They suggest that stylists are style directors - but these people are with the salon a very short amount of time and then they leave or are let go! I don't mind paying a fair price for the service and styling. But rush are so cynical with how they deal with customers. Scruffs is an excellent salon and charge £35 with a conditioning treatment included. There is no way that rush should be charging more than that

Maicures and pedicures. Reasonably priced and a lovely result. I've been going here for years now…read more Its a very small place, next to Chilli's but lovely, friendly and I've always had comments on how lovely my nails look. Especially worth a visit coming up to the festive season! Very busy though, so ring and make that appointment.
