A friendly welcome helped us feel immediately at home and soon our hands were being treated to an exfoliation and moisturising treatment followed by a file and polish all using top quality products. While our nails dried we relaxed and enjoyed an unhurried glass of fizz. Everyone is so friendly and attentive and the surroundings are suitably classy exuding chill- inducing vibes that make you feel special, which is exactly what you want from a spa. Looking forward to a return visit to enjoy the complete spa experience. There are frequent special offers.

Just like Lucy B, I first heard about the Beauty Boutique at a Yelp event - Belles in the Basement…read more I booked in for a back, neck and shoulder massage at the event, for a few weeks later on a Saturday. I really like how the Beauty Boutique communicates, they sent me a reminder a few days earlier with everything I needed to know (which is not much, of course, but still a nice feeling to know I was not forgotten). Upon arrival, I had to fill in a short questionnaire about any problems that I may have and then I got the massage from Lynsay, who really did everything that could be done to my back, bringing me back to a normal life in just half an hour. I was so happy with the results that three weeks later I made an appointment for the same massage and a Dermalogica express facial. This is the visit that turned my opinion into a real five star rating. I mentioned in a review earlier that I am allergic to some cosmetic ingredients, but had yet to learn new details about my skin condition. Not only did Lynsay tell me what other specific items to be careful with (which is really such a big help for me after years and years of self patch testing and a hit-and-miss sort of sample hunt), but also she checked each and every product one by one to see whether she can use them on me or not. As soon as I can see what my future schedule looks like, I will book my next appointment!

Two words - amazing eyelashes!…read more I'm not usually one for beauty treatments and such, but I was tempted to try Beauty Boutique and Day Spa when I met them at the Malmaison Belles in the Basement event. The ladies there seemed so friendly and down to earth, and I was offered a discount due to being at the event, so I booked in for eyelash extensions. I am so happy with the result! I'd never had extensions before so wasn't sure what to expect. The therapist, Emma, asked me what sort of look I would like, as she can vary lengths etc depending on what you're after, and while I LOVE the full bhoona big lashes look, I felt that something more subtle would be most appropriate for now. The result is a really natural and polished look. No more gunky mascara! I'm really pleased that this will cut down my morning routine, while still adding a fluttery finishing touch to my face. Emma is so nice, and I felt really comfortable in the salon. It's a lovely place, tucked into a Bath St basement, but it's like a tardis - there's a lot packed in down there. There's the main part of the salon, where eyelashes and nails are done, which is quite nice actually because if there's a few of you, you'd easily be able to chat. Then there's the private rooms, where you can have a comprehensive range of treatments from massage, waxing, and all sort of serious sounding facials. Then there's also the spa area! There is a big jacuzzi, some day beds, and a relaxation lounge. It's ideal for couples or groups who'd like to have some treatments, as well as a relaxing soak and lounge-about afterwards. Apparently they do hen-dos and parties and so on. I was really pleased to be shown about, and the whole place seems lovely. I also really liked the service generally - it seems very efficient. There's an option to book on-line, but however you book, you'll get an email reminder, which is handy, and also a thank you note after you've left - how nice! In terms of price, I think Beauty Boutique and Day Spa are offering a good deal. At time of writing, eyelash extensions are normally £70 with Emma, which sounds like a lot, but compared to other places, that's really quite good. I checked another nearby popular lash place before booking, and they charge £100 for extensions with a 'Master Technician' and then you have to pay £50 for top-ups! That's ridiculous! I think that is really just taking advantage of regular customers who maybe don't want to try anywhere else. With Beauty Boutique and Day Spa, you also get a FREE top-up after 2 weeks, which is excellent. So the way I'm thinking, it's really like £35 per time for the first 2 visits, which is a good price. I'll be interested to see how long my lashes last. I've been given some good advice from Emma about how to look after them, and have already booked in for my top-up treatment. This is one beauty treatment that I could really get used to!

When three of my friends birthdays fell around the same time as mine - two of which were turning…read morethe big 2-1 - one of them decided to get us something special and a little bit different for our present and treat herself too - a luxury spa day for four. The very words had us swooning at the thought of all that girly indulgence. The vouchers were able to be used in selected places across the UK so my friend checked them out and we decided on Distinction Health and Beauty found in the plush Glasgow Marriott hotel. We were each treated to either a back, neck and shoulder massage or an express facial - oh, what a decision! In the end I opted for the massage which was absolutely wonderful. I was slightly nervous beforehand for some reason but immediately felt at ease and I was soon ready to dose off. I never wanted to climb out from under that soft, warm towel placed over my back at the end. One of the girlies picked the facial and praised it very highly - she had been using the wrong type of products for her skin type until this point and so it was revolutionary for her, she said. All in all, the staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. With the spa package you also get full use of the Glasgow Marriott leisure facilities so we spent an hour or so afterwards relaxing in the pool and sweating in the sauna. As it was during the week we had these to ourselves for the most part. The log style changing rooms were also so lovely that we deliberately took our time getting ready. I left feeling totally relaxed and spoiled - which is surely the purpose of a spa day - and would definitely go back for further treatments, although I might just wait until someone else pays for it again as it as rather pricey. For pure indulgence and special occasions only but absolute bliss.

I thought I'd treat my mum to a luxury spa day or two and had hear rave reviews about Distinction…read moreHealth & Beauty Spa so I decided to go for that. I managed to get a date right on time, which was good because it was really what I had wanted to get. We both arived and were shown to the area within the Marriott that does the Health and Beauty, where we were given our options for the day. We both went for the massage, which sadly came to an end. I would have spent hours just lying there being pampered, Bliss! The treatments are quite expensive here and although you think you are getting quite a bit with the a spa day, you are limited on treatments and given permission to use the facilities. I might next time go to a dedicated spa castle looking thing just to add to the relaxation rather than a hotel.

This spa is excellent in many ways ,firstly the gorgeous smell from all the oils being used before you even reach the reception is amazing and there is soothing music playing which I feel instantly relaxes me .The staff are so friendly and chat away making me feel really comfortable . I have had the following treatments so far,Jessica gel nails, which i loved so much I just couldn't stop looking at them, the hot stone body massage which is so relaxing and the staff are really experienced as you can feel all those lumps n bumps from stress are gone. I regularly get my eyebrows waxed and tinted and i have had the spray tans .My latest was the Botox ! Which i am loving as I feel so fresh faced now . You can purchase gifts in the spa which I have also done ,the espa gift sets I use the oils in my bath and they make my skin smell amazing and depending on what type of oil I use wether it be relaxing oils to energising oil it's guaranteed to do the trick. I can't wait to add another treatment to my list it's the best spa in Glasgow Thanks Yvonne x

I have been visiting Dow for over a year at her existing clinic and am looking forward to seeing…read moreher at the new clinic which based on the photos will be a thai oasis in the south of Glasgow. Dow offers a wide range of massage types from thai aroma oil massage to traditional thai 'stretching' massage. She has loads of experience and trained at one of the top massage schools in Thailand. A visit to Dow is always a tonic. Not only does she totally chill me out she has also made a huge improvement in the back aches and tension that have plagued me for years. I cannot recommend her enough. At the new clinic Dow will have another Thai Massage therapist so if you fancy going for a massage with your partner or mates then she can book you in at the same time. Pricewise its good value at £40 for an hour massage and cheaper than other city massage outlets.

I don't think there could be such a personalised and thorough treatment elsewhere. As another reviewer has said here, the whole experience begins with a thorough consultation at the outset to find out exactly what you need. I loved the way she was able to suit my comfort levels - I wanted a firm massage to sort out my knots but not a 10/10 pummelling straight off! Anyway - it was perfectly pitched and in tune with what I was looking for. She is very intuitive and a very natural and gifted communicator so I didn't feel shy or awkward at all at any stage. She really is in a class of her own with the service she provides - a stress relieving nugget of gold in the West End of Glasgow!

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.

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.
