Tracey put me right at ease straight away, and made the full body massage and age smart facial treatment feel like it lasted a lot longer than 1hour 45 minutes!. As part of the massage, a hot stone was put on my back, while I had a foot and leg massage. Tracey then moved to my upper back, which I totally needed (with my stress levels!). Tracey really got to the stress knots in my muscles and this was my favourite part of the session. The Age Smart facial was also fab. I had a good consultation before and afterwards, where the therapist talked through my cleansing routine, noted concerns (I got to take home a copy of this) and also gave me advice and Dermalogica product samples to take home. I had my face steamed, cleaned, exfoliated, toned and moisturised, and afterwards my complexion genuinely looked miles better than it has in ages. I really was de-stressed when I left and went home considering when I book in again! Would highly recommend, especially if you are feeling stressed!

THE BEST BEAUTICIAN IN EAST LONDON I RECKON! If you're…read morelooking for professional skin care and relaxation treatments of the highest order, you really should visit South Woodford's Virginia Williams Skincare Studio (in Grove Hill). At this beauty salon, tucked away on a quiet side street, you will be guaranteed a warm welcome and treatments so good I have found have no equal in East London. I suffer from terrible upper back and neck tension, and I discovered alternating the Virginia Williams 1/2 hour massage with the deep tissue massage on a monthly basis reduced pain, helped me relax and gave me instant results. In addition, she was full of excellent tips for helping to reduce general stress and promote well being. I have also had the mini-facial, which was also incredible: Refreshing, cleansing and relaxing. Virginia Williams did a skin analysis of my face before recommending a course of Dermalogica treatments. I have become a devotee of this regime, and my skin has come on leaps and bounds!

Jill has great attention to detail with her treatments and is a complete perfectionist. I have also received some beneficial skin care advice that has improved my daily skin care routine. Jill's treatment room is beautifully decorated with a relaxing atmosphere and the ideal place to spend an hour or two being pampered I can not thank Jill enough, she's amazing at what she does. A true professional and a key find. I have had Caci facials with Jill for the past 5 month and the difference they have made is amazing! Jill shows true passion, you can tell she specialises in what she does. Highly recommend

I've been on the hunt for a good beauty facialist (is that even a word?) for a while. I came to…read morePure Synergie for the first time back in March/April time, and I went back for a follow up appointment just a week or so ago. The salon is small but nice, and it is hidden away upstairs in a health shop. It looks out over the cutty sark which is pretty cool. The decor is kind of shabby chic, a lot of white boarding and whitewashed walls, and the salon is kept very clean. They are open on Sundays which I find quite convenient. I have had problem skin in the past - extreme dryness and the odd nasty spot. Rosemarie (the therapist and owner) didn't give me any false pretences - she said my skin was in pretty dire straits. Since that first appointment, I have been back a second time for an additional facial, and my skin is definitely improving. They do microdermabrasion here (which I found really good) and they also do a proper steam, cleanse and extraction on every facial. Rosemarie gave me some good tips and suggested I change my cleanser. The tips, along with two great treatments means that people keep mentioning to me how good my skin looks. I'll be back for appointments every 8 weeks if it keeps up (fingers crossed). I would recommend this place to locals and friends, hence the five star. It's a rare find in the area and I will add some photos next time I go.

I've been getting waxed for the last four years (half leg and Hollywood). I'm an American from…read moreCalifornia and recently moved to Greenwich, so I needed to find a waxing salon here. I found Pure Synergie online by searching for waxing in the Greenwich area, and I decided to try them. Elizabeth was the beautician specialist who did my waxing, and I can honestly say she did a quicker, less painful, and more thorough job than I've ever received in the States. Elizabeth used hot wax for the Hollywood and strip wax for the half leg. She was really friendly and made me feel very comfortable...because, let's be real, spreading your legs open to get waxed by a stranger is an odd situation, but Elizabeth really did make me feel comfortable. She mentioned that the Pure Synergie Greenwich location does a lot of waxing in their salon. I have fine, blonde hair and it's easy to miss spots when waxing, so Elizabeth used a light to double check her work and make sure all the hair was removed, which I appreciated. My appointment took no longer than 40 minutes. As the previous review mentioned, the salon doesn't really have a storefront. It's located upstairs above a health food place where you can get fresh smoothies, treats, etc. The inside of the salon is quaint with wood floors and has a nice, relaxing ambiance overall. I will absolutely be going back in 5-6 weeks for another round of waxing, and I would definitely recommend this salon and Elizabeth.

I never usually do things like go to beauty salons myself but my mum booked me in for a Christmas…read moretreat for a Clarins facial and a manicure. I went on two separate days. The staff were absolutely lovely and I felt at ease straight away. From the minute you walk in to the waiting room you can tell the place is well looked after. It's calming and clean. It was close to Christmas so there were lots of people picking up gift vouchers so I don't think I'm the only one whose a fan! The treatments themselves were great. The girls went through the steps in the treatment and the products they were going to use so I knew exactly what to expect. The facial included a neck/shoulder and scalp massage. I was so close to falling asleep during it! I could feel all my pre-Christmas stress melting away. They also stock the products that they use so you can purchase them afterwards.

This place is amazing!

I spent 1/2 a day there and had a detoxifying body wrap, facial and luxury pedicure. The staff were very attentive, well trained in there specialisms and they use the best products like ESPA, Clarins, Guinot. I am now an ESPA convert as you can purchase any of the products used on you but you can only get them in ESPA salons, they are expensive but well worth it and last for ages. As for The Retreat its a little more expensive than some of the regular places in the town but you do get what you pay for and it is well worth it and absolutely recommend a visit there for a treat or more often if you can afford to!

If I won the lottery I would buy this Spa and have it as my own bit of luxury…read more The spa is deceptively spacious, and they have plenty of private treatment rooms, as well as a jacuzzi spa room and tranquil garden area. Once you have completed their forms and left the reception area, you leave your stress at the counter because they cater too all your needs. I had half hour in the hot tub, and then an Indian head massage followed by a back massage and it was pure heaven. I probably floated out of my room as I was so relaxed. They put you completely at rest, and they provide you with a dressing gown, slippers and towels so you don't have to worry about taking too much in with you. They also aren't that expensive. I paid about £60 for 3 hours worth of treatment. I would thoroughly recommend visiting this spa. I went with a few girly friends and we had a great time being able to forget about our worries for a morning, and having time to for ourselves.

After the first layer I could tell I did not like the colour I asked if i could change and the lady said no. So I sat there and let them continue. She then finished my nails and I was very unhappy with the colour I asked to speak to the manager, I explained my issue and she did not care. Instead she told me i'd have to pay £20 to change the colour. I did not even get an apology or anything. I'm so disappointed by today's service especially because my whole family come here on a regular basis. We will definitely look for another nail salon.

My wife uses the salon a lot and has always been very happy with everything they've done. But I myself have never been, so you're getting this from a virginal source! I walk through the door and it was ultra busy, bearing in mind this was Saturday at 1pm. We sat down but didn't wait long, I got into the chair which had a basin at the bottom to put your feet in with a Jacuzzi effect, a little later I found that the chair had a massage feature too! I actually have very ticklish feet, so I amused the pedicurist while she was doing my feet. I sat in the chair for 30 - 40 minutes. She did such a good job I gave her a tip afterwards. I highly recommend them, if you've never had a pedicure, or have had many.
