And that's a shame - because it's excellent. Walk through the shop to the back and down the stairs, and you'll find a couple of beauty rooms. I got a warm welcome from Janina, my therapist, who was lovely and friendly throughout. They use lycon hot wax and the rooms are extremely tidy and clean. Therapists wear gloves and there is no dipping the stick back into the wax. The best thing about the set up is that there is a tv in each room where you'll be lying back and watching Sex and the City episodes while your wax takes place. An amazing distraction from the job at hand! The hot wax was quick, about 20 minutes, very painless and thorough. Best of all, it's a complete steal. Cheapest place I've found in London. This place is certainly worth trekking across London for. I am looking forward to going back many times in the future.

This salon does not live up to it's fake reviews i should know i was asked as was my son to write…read moresome for them along with my friend. The salon has staff that frankly leave much to be desired, not even able to cut a fringe, it is so bad that the one hairdresser there that is any good i have gone to his salon where he works 5 days of the week. The one Girl Stylist that worked there is at Vidal Sassoon salon learning new style, that may have something to do with everyone that goes there comes out with the same style not lying its like a sausage factory. I went there because Eno works at Vitality two days of the week and i was going away and needed him to do my hair for me before i went. He wasn't working at Vitality when i needed him and was chastised for going elsewhere!!!! Because i had the nerve to go and get my hair done elsewhere i was treated like a leper and the rudeness to myself was totally unbelievable the atmosphere in the salon is just awful, frankly after finding another beauticians where they charge a fraction of vitality and far nicer, staff can understand every word you say which they can't in vitality. I would say this salon was way, way out of its depth and when your hairdresser is not there they don't call to tell you they just lumber you with another. Since the daughter of the salon took over every member of staff bar two have either been sacked or left of their own accord i think that really says it all I wouldn't even want my dog to get its hair cut there ;) That bad..

I moved back from Newcastle where I used to get my eyebrows done at a threading station within Tesco, for £5 and never expected to find it as cheap down here... Stumbled across Be Lush through google, phoned up to see if I could come in asap and literally showed up 5 minutes later. Therapist was lovely, really friendly and did such a good job. Previously whenever I had my eyebrows threaded i'd end up a teary mess, praying for the pain to be over as they battled with the thread for a good ten minutes. At Be Lush it was all done in a matter of minutes and I barely felt it!! No tears at all...and all for £5 too! Will definitely be back again (especially as they give you a loyalty card, so sixth visit is free!) I'm so impressed.

Had the worst customer service experience of my life here. Went in last Saturday for a shellac…read moremanicure (£25). They gave a pretty nice hand massage and the application looked nice at first, however when I got home I saw that they had applied the top coat all over my cuticles. After only a few days the shellac started lifting from the sides of both my thumbs, followed by a few more nails in the next couple of days. I tried phoning them on the Friday (six days after I had my manicure) but they where closed for Easter. Finally managed to get an appointment for Tuesday. When I got there the nail "technician" informed me that usually they only redo shellac manicures if the customer comes back within two-three days (for a manicure that's supposed to last for a minimum of 14 days!), but that she would make an exception this time. She then proceeded to remove the polish from three of my nails, and was going to reapply polish to only those three nails. Now, in my experience, salons usually redo the whole manicure - first of all because they messed up and want to apologize, second because it looks awful having three newly done nails and the rest with a weeks growth. She called the owner of the salon and was told not to redo all the nails. At this point the nail technicians sister got involved and gave a lot of silly explanations as to why my manicure hadn't lasted. This girl quickly got very rude, and wouldn't admit that the failure of my manicure was their fault. Finally I asked them to just remove all of the nail polish from the rest of my fingers and give me my money back, which they refused to do. The nail technician offered to redo the nails for me on Saturday, but her sister told her not to do that. Then - all of a sudden - they refused to to anything what so ever, stating that I had been late for my appointment (I was five minutes late, which I warned the owner that I might be due to coming straight from work on the tube). They both got extremely rude, one of the girls started shouting and the other girl just kept sarcastically repeating "don't worry, darling" when I said I would leave a bad review for them. When I left they shouted "don't bother coming back" after me in the street. The whole thing ended with me having to go across the road to a different salon and pay £10 to get the remaining eight nails removed. So to sum it up, all in all I paid £35 for a shellac manicure that lasted me four days. Please don't waste your money here, go to any of the nearby salons and pay £5 more and have a good manicure.
