Good deal on 5PM for cut and 1/2 head of highlights for 42GBP. This is one of those wee salons…read morewith questionable signage that usually I'm unwilling to take a chance on. But my hair was getting tragic just as my monthly wage was reduced to statutory maternity pay, so I took a gamble on this salon, which had a great price and good reviews. Well, the gamble paid off. The staff were really friendly, with frequent cups of tea or coffee on the go for whomever wanted one. Jennifer, who cut my hair, was personable and more importantly, competent at cutting curly hair. She cleaned up my mane and listened when I asked for more to be taken off the bottom. The only quibbles I have are that Jennifer overbooked herself--she had four women on the go while I was there so my cut and colour took three hours when it really didn't need to. Also, she looked like she had just rolled out of bed after a night of heavy drinking...and it was two in the afternoon. When you go to get a haircut, you want your stylist to look sharp. That being said, she did get the job done but if I hadn't pre-paid for the cut I probably would have turned around and gone home upon seeing her.

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!

Love love love it!…read more After a tragic visit to a nail salon chain in the city centre, I was directed here by a friend. Entering, I found it bright, welcoming and friendly. The place was a-buzz with customers, who all were chatty and lively. When I sheepishly showed my badly done nails to my new nail tech, Fee, (who part owns the shop), she just tutted and said, 'Well, you've come to the right place!' I never felt, for the hour or so I was there, that I had to struggle with conversation. Everything was light and easy, and Fee was gentle and knowledgeable about what she does. In fact, the hour passed so quickly that I didn't even realise it; that's a good sign! And when I left, I felt like I'd made some good friends, rather than that feeling like I'd been through a conveyor belt. It may seem like a jaunt from the city centre, but it's worth it. The prices are great, they'll give you a discount if they can, and you'll find yourself looking forward to your next visit. If you pass up this opportunity, then you're just a fool. You can't get quality beauty like this anywhere else.

I have just left the salon and I am really upset with the service I have recieved…read more I had been to the salon before and really liked it. As we were up from London for Christmas I phoned straight away to book. This time the technician basically ignored me! She talked to everyone else in the salon but me. After a while I was so shocked I took to looking at my mobile, ceiling etc. I do think that even some of the other technicians felt I was really uncomfortable but said nothing. How easy would it have been to utter a - looking forward to Christmas? Done all your shopping? My nails are good but they will be done just as well elsewhere. A horrible experience!

Awful. My first experience here and 100% the last. I don't…read morenormally write reviews unless my experience has been really good or really bad - this was worse than bad. I had went in two days before I was going on holiday to get semi-permanent eyelash extensions put in. It was the natural set as the guy (manager) had recommended them and said they'd be best for what I was looking for. He was friendly and chatty when I went in so I trusted his opinion and went ahead with it. He had also told me, I quote, "they will last 6 to 8 weeks if you look after them" - mine didn't last more than 24 hours. So as soon as I lay down to get them done, the woman doing them dropped the whole table set and everything on it while hurting her finger in the process. After waiting till her finger was okay, she then took around 10 minutes trying to stick my bottom lashes down because she couldn't do it. Once they were done, there was no difference. She said she put 60 lashes in one eye and honestly it looked like 3 were in. I met my friend after having them done and she asked why my lashes were stuck together and looked separate. That night around 15 lashes came out of the right eye and a few from the other. By morning every single one from the right eye had come out. They are closed on a Sunday so there was nothing I could do. I called them on Monday morning and told the woman what's happened. She apologised and asked if I wanted to come back in and she'll put them back in for me. I was leaving for the airport in an hour so obviously didn't have the time. I told her to let her manager know and I had pictures if he wants to see and that I'd come back in for a refund when I was back from holiday as I was so disappointed. So I went back in when I was back from holiday and the manager was so unbelievably rude. His attitude had completely changed from the first time I was in. I showed him the pictures I had taken and all he kept asking is why I didn't take a picture of my eyes :/ I explained that taking a picture of my eyes wouldn't have shown anything, you can't see properly from a picture. I had also explained that his employee had not asked me to take a picture of my eyes after I explained it to her either. He went on to say, and I quote again, "she is the most experienced staff I have, she does eyelashes all the time" yet she spent 10 minutes trying to stick my bottom lashes down on one eye.. He was incredibly rude, wouldn't let me speak at all and couldn't admit that it was their fault, even after providing evidence. He then took the money out the till (£30) and slammed it on the desk and said "there". My friend that was with me and I were disgusted not only at his attitude but at his awful customer service as well. I have never had such a bad experience in my life and will for sure never be back at this terribly unprofessional shop.

In the past this did cause some trouble when I went in for a 9am appointment before starting work at 10.30am and arriving with really red and swollen looking eyebrows. Not really the customer friendly look to have while trying to sell comfortable hotter shoes to the 60+ ladies of Glasgow.... Anyhow, I love this place. It's really handy and the staff will always try their best to find a last minute spot to squeeze you in. They also have slightly longer opening hours which means a lot of the time you can pop in straight after work without having to work through lunch and leave early or any of that malarkey. The treatment rooms are on the small side, but they are very comfortable and well equipped. While, the decor is bright, airy and everything is clean and tidy. As mentioned previously the staff are very pleasant, chatty and always friendly - even at 6pm on a Thursday when they are getting rushed off their feet for a late night despite a long day. The business is also open almost all the time! It was even open on Christmas eve (I didn't actually go on Christmas eve but I was a few days earlier and heard all about it). So you're bound to find a time that suits you to pop in here. The treatments are also done pretty quickly - in the efficient way, not the slap, bash, dash ahhhh my skin way. Additionally, their prices are really reasonable, for example for an eyebrow wax and tint and a some more waxing you can expect to pay under £15. It's all good.
