I've been getting my eyebrows waxed at the same salon since before I got married 7 years ago. I'd…read moreheard rave reviews about Peaches so decided to give them a try. First I have to say the team were great at answering my pre-visit questions on Twitter and I was able to phone up and book an appointment no problem--it is also possible to book online (which works on mobile) but I didn't have my card near me when I went to book. I had my baby girl with me in her pram and that wasn't an issue at all. The girls in the salon totally fussed over her and she was happy as can be. My brows were shaped and I was in/out in under 10 minutes. On a Friday they give their customer's goodie bags as a thank you AND if a friend refers you you'll get £5 off! Not too shabby! They have a range of brow packages if you like to get yours tinted, etc but the basic brow wax will run you £8.50 which for the quality of treatment is great. I had a bit of a reaction to their oil post wax but they were super helpful and have a different oil and a plan in place for me next time I go and have been messaging me to check in on my brows! Also it's worth mentioning there is a pretty epic glitter wall. Who doesn't love a glitter wall?

First off - although I already submitted changes to the location of Designer Waxing, it's not quite…read moreshowing up yet... @Yelp - hurry up! :-) Those seeking a good quality (intimate) wax - go to 205 Hope Street, within Belle and Blackley Hair Salon Second, I want to update my review of Designer Waxing for the following reasons: 1) I had some horrible waxing experiences at other establishments in this fine city (curiosity almost killed the cat!). 2) Those horrible experiences reaffirmed that this place (Designer Waxing) is hands down the best I could find in Glasgow. 3) Do not be lured in or tempted by too good to be true discounts that other spas/salons offer... because they're in fact "too good to be true" 4) Don't skimp on intimate waxes... expect to pay £30-35 for quality service and years of experience. If you value your cookie, you will splurge (within reason) for quality and cleanliness. 5) I cannot stress the importance of the highest level of clean hygiene standards, especially with regard to your cookie - treat it well! 6) I've been seeing Jo since I moved back to Glasgow, and she's a good mix of professionalism, quality and good banter. I'm very pleased with the work she does, and I have no hesitations about going back to her for future appointments. Jennifer (the owner) and Anna, from what I hear, are also great alternatives. After that little rant, it's safe to say that I'm a loyal Designer Waxing customer, and I would highly recommend their professional services over anyone else now offering intimate waxing. Designer Waxing's service and experience is truly unparalleled. The. End. :-)

I've been a client for a few years now after finding them online, and their service and standards…read moreare bang on. I wouldn't trust anyone else to come near me with wax! I can say with confidence that everyone there does a great job, I mostly see Nicole, and they are fantastic at putting you at ease with no surprises. They moved to a new premises I think about a year ago and it's just lush. If you are thinking of getting any grooming done, male or female, I can refer with confidence. Without going into too much detail, they are very fussy about the products they use, and it's the only place I've been too where I don't look like a plucked chicken afterwards.

We rang up on Sunday morning and managed to each get an appointment for around 3pm for massages…read more We arrived and were given questionnaires to complete with our details. There was a little confusion as I hadn't specifically wanted either the 3pm or 3:20pm slot, I just booked them both for myself and my friend, however despite it making more sense for my friend to go in the first slot, they wouldn't change our times around. The room for the massage was nice, standard massage room really. Although they do have electronic beds to adjust the height, which I gather for shorter people than me (5ft 10) this would come in useful, plus it is heated. Although I did ask half way through for the heat to be turned off as I felt like I was being cooked...but that's just me and heat! The massage itself was good, she did as I asked and didn't shy away from the painful parts (no pain no gain)! A complementary facial had been included which was basic but relaxing. I advised her of my sensitive skin so she used the sensitive lotions, which still stung slightly, but I've had worse! Arriving back at reception my masseuse, Natalie, had left a postcard advising me to get more massages to help with the problem areas, which was sweet, and giving me another excuse to get more :) Based on my experiences alone I would recommend them, however my friend who was with me didn't have such a good time. She didn't have a heated bed, which was a shame since she is the heat lover, and her masseuse didn't follow her instructions and performed a relaxing massage rather than one that tackled the knots. Overall, I'd probably go back if I was in the area or couldn't get into a more local one. It's handy as it is in Silverburn, up the stairs to the left of Yo-Sushi/Debenhams, if you are there for some shopping too, and the premises is very modern and stylish. Price wise, it was £32 for half an hour of massage, with the complementary facial. It's a little on the pricer side, I guess due to it's location.

Another wonderful experience at PURE Spa.

I chose the massage on the grounds that you should never miss the chance to get those tense muscles relaxed. My beautician, Lyn, was welcoming and put me at ease without being too familiar. I loved the facial and will certainly try and make it a regular treat. My skin definitely looked and felt better and the massage was amazing.

Having made West End Wax a staple in my beauty book, I scheduled an appointment more than a month…read morein advance prior to a major international trip. On the day, I received an appointment reminder at 12pm for my 1pm appointment. I was already making my way from the Southside to Partick, and in less than 30 minutes of my 1pm appointment I had seen 2 missed calls on my phone. Moments later I received an email stating my appointment had been rescheduled then cancelled. Completely confused by what was going on, I called West End Wax. There was no apology, and no return call to try and reschedule the appointment in the week prior to my flight. To this day, I am still very disappointed at how unprofessional the situation was handled.

It's pretty rare to actually look forward to getting all your hairs ripped out by a stranger, but with Debbie I actually do look forward to it! She's like a therapist, pal, and expert waxer all in one! I recommend her to all my pals and they always love her just as much. With student discount I get underarms, a brazilian, and half leg for 42 quid, which is pretty decent if you ask me! Don't trust anyone else with your vajayjay wax, I've been coming here for years now and would never go anywhere else.

I had a free lunchtime in Glasgow last week and decided to go and get myself a facial. This place…read morewas minutes from my hotel and it had good reviews. I'm a bit of a fusspot about my skin, so I was a little apprehensive. First things first, this salon is a bit tricky to find - it's under the arches but it's very easy to walk straight past it (I did, countless times). You'll find it on the left if you're walking towards the radisson blu hotel on argyle street. It's right under the arches of Glasgow Central station. It does say beauty in the window but it's easily missed because many of the shops are painted in the same green. When you get in you'll be greeted by friendly faces and lots of welcoming. You'll be made to feel right at home. I must admit I felt a little nervous because it's not the best looking salon I've seen. It could do with a little tidy up and it's certainly not a haven of peace, you'll hear trains running over the top of you (it's under the train bridge) and it's noisy with hairdressing if you're in one of the treatment rooms. So why the five stars. Margaret (?) was my therapist and she was lovely. We did a microdermabrasion and she did a fantastic job. A really thorough cleanse, lovely products and a pain free process (microdermabrasion can leave you red faced if the therapist goes too far with it!) The liquorice mask reminded me of many a night drinking sambuca (urgh) but it was worth it. It tingles a bit (which scared me) but don't be scared, it'll settle down and it was worth it! I came out of the salon glowing, and a few hours later, my skin had never looked better. Normally when I get it done in London, it takes a few days to show the effects. Not so here. I got so many comments on my skin that evening and actually it has felt great ever since. Even better, it's an absolute steal (compared to what I pay in London, at least). If I'm back in town, I'll be headed here.

It was a dilemma. The emergency pre-holiday wax was needed and my usual beauty salon was closed…read more You can't trust just anyone when dealing with your more delicate areas, and more to the point, I couldn't afford just anyone. A bikini wax can set you back up to £30 in Glasgow and so you are faced with the predicament of compromise- how cheap do you go without sacrificing hygiene, professionalism and your dignity? After recommendations from friends, I opted for Beauty In The City which seemed to offer good value for money. A small salon convieniently located on Argyle Street, hidden beneath the 'Heilenman's Umbrella' (that's Central Station bridge to the non-locals) it specialises in waxing, massage and nail care. I decided to go for the Brazilian which at £17 was more risky than a 'Playboy' but less intimidating than the 'Hollywood'. The salon seemed clean and well organised and I was pleased at how quickly I was seen. I was in and out in 20minutes and despite being the last appointment of the day, I didn't feel rushed. Beauty in The City is more Glasgow glam that city chic with hot pink walls and over-tanned members of staff to match. However, it benefits from another Glaswegian trait- incredibly friendly service. Beauty treatments are given from girls who will chat like they've known you for years. My beautician immediately put me at ease when I felt apprehensive, vulnerable and exposed. She was clear about exactly what she was going to do and made the whole process as pleasant as possible. A bikini wax is not for the faint-hearted however my discretion was considered throughout and I was made to feel comfortable. I'll definitely be going back.

In the past this did cause some trouble when I went in for a 9am appointment before starting work at 10.30am and arriving with really red and swollen looking eyebrows. Not really the customer friendly look to have while trying to sell comfortable hotter shoes to the 60+ ladies of Glasgow.... Anyhow, I love this place. It's really handy and the staff will always try their best to find a last minute spot to squeeze you in. They also have slightly longer opening hours which means a lot of the time you can pop in straight after work without having to work through lunch and leave early or any of that malarkey. The treatment rooms are on the small side, but they are very comfortable and well equipped. While, the decor is bright, airy and everything is clean and tidy. As mentioned previously the staff are very pleasant, chatty and always friendly - even at 6pm on a Thursday when they are getting rushed off their feet for a late night despite a long day. The business is also open almost all the time! It was even open on Christmas eve (I didn't actually go on Christmas eve but I was a few days earlier and heard all about it). So you're bound to find a time that suits you to pop in here. The treatments are also done pretty quickly - in the efficient way, not the slap, bash, dash ahhhh my skin way. Additionally, their prices are really reasonable, for example for an eyebrow wax and tint and a some more waxing you can expect to pay under £15. It's all good.
