I popped along for a Universal Contour Wrap. Despite me arriving half an hour late thanks to train delays, my beauty therapist Angela was friendly and calming.

The face cloth was rough so I ended up with a strong headache during the first half when lying face down. The therapist had nice strong hands but did hurt me at times. I mentioned the pain but she never asked if the pressure was ok or not. Last was the oil. I was covered in it, dripping off me when the massage finished. There was a towel that I used to wipe some of it off myself but I have had other places try to remove excess oil before the massage ends. The place is nicely decorated and everyone is professional, however I don't feel like I want to go back.

Only £5, yes £5 to have your eyebrows waxed, plucked or threaded (I think). Now I've been all over the place to have my brows done, including Shavata (the brow goddess in Harrods, £35, who sells various eyebrow shaping kit in every M&S) and although she is unquestionably good, this place runs a close second and for a lot less dosh! You won't come out feeling pampered but you will come out with enough cash to splash in the bars of Clapham to do enough eyebrow raising at the boys. If the rating was on quality of work I'd give it a 5 star, it is just the setting that lets it down.

I called them up on a whim on a Saturday morning to see if they had an hour massage slot free, and they said to come in at 1pm. So I was already chuffed that I could get an appointment so last minute. It's £30 for an hour and you can have either a swedish or thai massage. They also do all the other usual beauty services - all very cheap. They have a state of the art steam room and sauna, and the massage rooms themselves are really nice...but that's where the glamour ends. You have to be prepared for a bit of a rough and ready approach - the changing room (if you can call it that) is an old cupboard with some lockers in it and is big enough for one person, the towels are a bit grey and not so white anymore, the shower is also a converted cupboard, and take your own flip flops if you have issues with feet hygiene. But for £30 you're not going to expect the Sanctuary are you? So I got over my initial nose curling and just enjoyed my time there for what it was - a cheap and very good massage. I had a thai massage - it was the most intense hour of my life and the best massage I have ever had. She beat the crap out my knots and I walked out with limbs flaying about they were so loose. Intense, fantastic, relaxing...and for the price, I'm going back every month!

Add yourself to their…read moremailing list, as they often offer deals at special events and 50% off services between certain times/dates and such. Though I think they will eventually take cards, when I went in they took a bank transfer ahead of time for my procedure. The space is fairly no-frills, which is fine because it is a small and intimate salon with only a couple of employees (and Asma there pretty much all the time). That said, definitely make a booking. Though they offer a huge range of beauty treatments (manicures/pedicures, massages, makeup, spray tans, etc.) I came here for what I understand is Asma's specialty, semi-permanent false lashes. As Asma was training someone whilst applying my lashes (which I was able to get for half price, £90 for a full set), I learned a lot about applying lashes during my treatment. She uses a mix of lash brands to really tailor your false lashes to your natural set, and that provides for a more natural looking finished look. And what can I say, the finished set DID look good. I am not one to wear false strip lashes or much makeup at all, so this was a great way to really enhance my natural look without doing anything to unsubtle. The come-hither eyes come at a price. False lashes aren't super easy to live with, as you need to take good care of them. This means no steaming, no washing your eyes, rubbing your eyes, etc. I also got one infill from Asma about 3 weeks later. I had that set eventually completely removed at another salon, as I was home in America at the time. But that technician said that whoever put my lashes on did a really good job. To sum up, do your research about false lashes before committing to them, as they are both expensive and require upkeep. But if you decide to get them, go see Asma. She really is a pro and I doubt you'll be disappointed by her work. Next time I have a big event I want a splurge for, I'll be back. *blink, blink*

She analysed my skin and gave me very useful advice. I visited another two times and was very happy with the service. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the last time I visited I received terrible service. The beautician ,whose name I didn't find out because she barely spoke to me throughout the whole 40 minutes, was quite rude. The only time she spoke to me was to guide me to the room, ask me to lie down and to take my payment. She asked no questions about my skin and made no attempts to me feel relaxed. As I said I do not know her name but she is an older, eastern european woman. I will go back to the salon but will just make sure I do not get treated by her. Take my advice go to the salon but avoid this terrible beautician.

I had previously visited to get a wax treatment and was really happy with the service I received that I booked in for a massage a couple of weeks later.however the service was nowhere near as good. I booked in for an hour massage and it started 10 minutes late which I didn't mind as I wasn't in a rush , however I could feel that the masseur was in a rush and when I checked the time when I had finished changing afterwards I had only received 45 minutes! I think her next client was outside and she may have been keen to get started on time but this wasn't good enough as my treatment shouldn't be cut short. She spent hardly anytime on my back and if she had asked beforehand she would have known that this was my problem area (as it is for many people). I'm also studying massage at the moment and no checks were done beforehand to check for any contraindications. Although I knew I didn't have any I thought it was very unprofessional that they didn't check. I wouldn't return here for a massage and will be returning to other treatment rooms I used before. Although it will be further from home, I'll know that I receive a better service. I would probably only go back for waxing but that would be as a last resort.
