I was booked in for a Darphin facial with Lucy…read more The reception area is a lovely duck egg blue colour which is very relaxing. There are work areas set up for manicures, with all manner of polishes. All staff were extremely welcoming, full of smiles and friendly. I was led upstairs to the Butterfly Room for my treatment. A lovely calming room with the obligatory relaxing music playing. Lucy talked through what she was going to do and checked if I had any skin problems. I thoroughly enjoyed the facial which included an neck, arm and hand massage. It was that good I fell asleep only to be woken when the time was up. I would recommend this treatment and salon to anyone. Fabulous!

Since working here as a youngster as my first Saturday job I have always been a fan of Boots…read morestores! Eldon square boots can get very congested but that's because you can now get pretty much anything all in one location. Always good offers to be had and those Boots loyalty points soon rack up if you regularly buy your essentials here. The staff can be slightly hit and miss if like me you need help picking a hair dye due to the sudden spurt of grey hairs! Then again you can't expect staff to be knowledgeable about all products as there are just too many. It's worth noting that you can get your prescriptions sent directly from your GP to the pharmacy and there is even a doctors surgery downstairs for those living in the city centre.

Their prices are competitive and they have…read moresome great offers on perfumes especially, which are handy presents for the upcoming xmas season. Years ago they were a very cheap store, however, I have noticed of late that their prices are slowly creeping up to match those of their rival chain Boots. I guess it is a sign of the times though as they are not the only place to increase their prices during this 'credit crunch'. They sell a wide variety of products for all the family - toiletries, cleaning products, lower end cosmetics and tons more. They often have some really good deals on essentials like Charmin and Andrex toilet rolls and I tend to find them much cheaper than in the supermarkets. Also Loreal and Garnier anti wrinkle creams are often massively discounted in comparison with the large rip-off department stores. Overall Savers are great for bagging a bargain.
