Words you might associate with a beauty salon: groomed, sleek, preened…read more Words you might associate with me: scruffy, lazy, unkempt. So, you wouldn't usually find me in a beauty salon. I'm not one for waxing and plucking and polishing, though I on't doubt that 95% of the time it might look like I need some. But for some recent bridesmaiding duties, I thought it might be worth investing in something to take the shabby edge off for the big day. Even if I had a monobrow and a hairy chest I wouldn't usually venture anywhere near most salons since you would feel their disapproval a mile off. But the girls at Paris St Clair couldn't be sweeter or less judgemental about how far removed from their polished perfection you are, and they chat happily to you whilst removing a ten-year build-up of foot skin, or trying to form a nail-shape out of the chewed stumps you call fingers, without so much as batting an eyelid. They couldn't be more down to earth or lovely, and the prices are really good, making this a lovely experience from start to finish. This is a little backstreet gem that serves a wide range of customers, from the occasional scruffbags like me, to the regulars who are in and out like clockwork. The girl I live with swears they give the most painless wax she's ever had, and that she'd never go anywhere else. And my boyfriend's auntie is a regular too, though, of course, discrete as ever, the girls won't divulge what Auntie J goes in for

I've been here a few times now to have various treatments…read more Plenty of car parking available. Slight hassle with getting through to the spa area as it is located within the David Lloyd gym so you have to wait for someone on the gym reception to let you through by informing them you are only going to use the spa. Once in, you head through their cafe area (nice to stop by but that is another review!) and into the spa area. Receptionist here are generally very helpful and friendly. I think you have to pre-book any treatment but there is an array of goodies, creams, nail polishes, etc which you can purchase at any time. As I say, I've had a variety of treatments as well as having a spa day. They have a nice pool area with sauna, sanarium and steam room available along with pool, plunge pool, headed relaxation beds and relaxation pool! On the odd occasion where for whatever reason a treatment didn't happen right or something went wrong with the booking, they have always offered alternatives freely or extend the treatment duration so hard to be annoyed with it. Accommodating men and women and do teenagers although they are not allowed in the pool area until aged 18 I think. This is a nice local spa and nicer than some of the ones I've been to in Town. Defo come back again and again.

I read reviews here and on Google and was really looking forward to finding a salon that sounded…read morelike they really cared about their customers but I think I must have caught them on an off day and would not go back. The booking was easy, I got a Saturday afternoon appointment which is always a bonus, parking availability is good and I wasn't kept too long waiting before I was seen. The consultation seemed to be fine, but their stylist was dismissive of my thoughts and said that she would not cut it the way I asked as it would not turn out right. The lady washing my hair was quite rough and her attention was obviously elsewhere as the water when from cold to hot and back to cold again. My main concern was that although the stylist although chatty she came across as arrogant and did what she wanted to my hair and when it was finished, I was pretty disappointed. It was the opposite of what I had described, dull really ageing. I came out looking older than when I went in. Im sure that she isn't really arrogant, but confident in her abilities, but when my thoughts were dismissed it just looked I should be quiet and just let her get on with it. I should have probably challenged it there and then but I just wanted to get out and get home, I just wanted to cry and to see what I could salvage by styling it myself. I did have to visit another salon to have it re-cut. My overall impression is one of real disappointment, obviously there are many people who love this place, but my experience did not match up. I have to be honest and give my opinion and hopefully it is taken in the spirit in which it is meant.
