Known as Baby Bliss, this is the smallest of the Bliss Beauty Spa chain. The salons boast a very comprehensive menu of services from Tanning and Nail treatments to full-on intensive treatments and overhauls. In this case I booked in for a waxing treatment, it was the first time I'd been to Bliss and I was apprehensive about it. Waxing can go terribly wrong in so many ways and often there's the embarrassment factor. My therapist was very warm and friendly and chatty but not too chatty. Bliss salons use the Australian Bodycare waxing system and it was this, along with the therapist's expertise that prove to be a revelation. I've had waxes in very many salons over the years and even frequented a very fancy place in West London that claims to be favoured by celebrities and I have to say that the wax I had at Baby Bliss was one of the best, quickest and least painful I ever had, not to mention good value for money. The salon and treatment rooms themselves are small and are showing some definite signs of wear and tear so this would not be the Bliss branch to choose for a luxurious and relaxing treat but as a local salon for your regular beauty maintenance you couldn't hope for much better. read more

So, I'd never-in-my-life gotten waxed before. Once, when I was a young 'un, I dabbled with those DIY wax kits but I didn't really do it properly and in the waxing world I imagine that was child's play, so to speak. I'd been meaning to get a leg wax for an age, and finally decided to bite the bullet, look on Yelp and get myself sorted. I think winter and laziness were the biggest catalysts in the process, having not actually paid any attention to my prickly props for sometime, so I was long overdue a visit. I telephoned to check out the times and such and booked myself an appointment. On the day I came along and was greeted nicely by my beautician, Kirsty, who wasn't in the slightest bit phased when I said, "OK, so I've never had a wax before!" I went through and she talked me through the basics, I got myself sorted and we did a test strip to check it was all good. It was totally fine! In no time at all she was waxing away, whilst we chatted (she was, as Carol C mentions, friendly but not over the top) and in no time I was finished. Of course, it stung a little, but it was by no means a harrowing experience. The salon itself is fairly small and dinky, but very welcoming, as all the staff I encountered were lovely. I was so impressed at the speed of the service I braved a bikini wax then and there, which had a lot more sting to it (I don't believe was anything to with the salon, more my pain tolerance levels!), but the whole process was swift and over in no more than 10 minutes. It was really good of them to fit that in too, as I'd only booked for a leg wax. As a reward for having spent over £30 I got to pick a small gift for myself, which is always lovely, so am now the happy owner of a delightful jar of nail varnish. I also have a loyalty card, so I plan to reap the rewards of that, in time. Essentially, if you want friendly swift service, and a great wax, this is the place to visit. (As great as waxing can be, that is!) Lovely place and lovely staff. read more
