Wow! Check out the window display! I would have taken a photo regardless of requiring a pic for…read moreYelp! Endless lotions and potions are stacked tetris-style on shelf after shelf covering all the available window space and making your head spin with the seemingly infinite hair pampering options available! If you have afro hair and like to coax it into any style of your choosing then I can't imagine you could go away empty handed! They also sell hair dryers and styling tools, hair dye, wigs, weaves, clip in hair extensions and a huge range of hair accessories. On top of this they have a huge variety of body lotions and skin creams and a selection of makeup. It would be easy to feel pretty overwhelmed by the vast array of products on display, but the staff are helpful and friendly and will point you in the right direction. Sihala provides many products to be used by all women but specialises in a range of products for black people that would not be found in most high street cosmetics retailers, which often tend to overlook the specific needs of black customers. Go Sihala!

Fantastic service. I…read morewent in today for my septum piercing. All of the staff were polite and welcoming from the moment I stepped in. I went upstairs where I was pierced. Everything was very sterile and clean. I was taken through to a separate room with a man called Paul where everything was explained to me about what it would feel like and what to do. He was very kind and obviously experienced and knew what to do. He got it done as quickly and painlessly as possible. They give you sea salt for the after care and explain how to look after it. They also ask you to check back in and that you can come back any time if you have any problems with the jewellery. The shop is also very nice if you are into anything in the more indie area. It's all very nice and good quality. They sell incense, bags, jewellery, clothing and other nicknacks you might use to decorate your home. Overall it is a nice little shop, easily accessible as it is along the Main Street, very close to St Stephens. There is not much parking close by so you are probably best going by bus.

As this shop is very small it is hard to manover especially for parents with prams and it can get very busy. Staff are friendly and have been there for years. It's cheap but not as cheap as going somewhere like pound shop or Home bargains -p however this shop has been on newland avenue for years and therefore have loyal customers and of course is very convienent if you live in this are.

The oils come in different size bottles and prices range depending on their rarity. The larger bottles with built-in pippets are great to ensure your oil doesn't get cross-contaminated. They also stock carrier oils and creams, soaps and body washes of various mixes to keep you clean and refreshed. Worth a look for something a little different, but special.

The Look is a cheap cosmetics shop in the market. It's pretty much what you'd expect from such a…read moreshop with piles of unbranded eyeliners, lipsticks, foundation, eyeshadow etc. As Aniela has pointed out, it's not the kind of place you'd buy from if you have sensitive skin as it can be difficult to find out the ingredients of the products and natural products can be much easier to trust. However, if you usually by cheap branded make up anyway, the makeup here may not be particularly worse in quality and the prices are definitely a bonus if you're counting the pennies. They also sell a huge amount of fragrances and aftershave by well-known brands so if you're into perfume, you may well find something at a good price to suit your nose's taste!

I don;t want to sound terrible, but I just can't really give The Look much more than this. I have…read morequite sensitive skin, so I am quite carefull about what I buy in terms of cosmetics. I would never buy anything here, as I have no idea where it comes from. There are baskets and baskets of different bits and pieces of jumbled up make up, that due to the lack of order, you have to pick up and look at. I felt that everytime I did this, I was getting the evil eye cast over me by the shop ladies. One upside is that they do stock incredibly bright nail varnishes at reasonable prices.
