GREAT FROM FAR, GREAT FROM START TO FINISH…read more How does one describe perfection? The Beautery does an amazing job from beginning to end. The staff speak English, the space is airy and inviting and the nail technicians are on point. Desperately needed a mani / pedi: as my godson would say my feet looking like I was "playing soccer with rocks", and I had two hangnails that were driving me to distraction Normally, I have a nail job every 2 weeks. I had changed jobs, changed countries, was flying considerable distances for work, renovating a house and clearing out another: let's just say that after months of being hidden away in work boots and woollen socks, the feet had seen better days. Enter The Beautery I was so relaxed, I forgot to give my technician instructions on how I like the nails shaped. I needn't have bothered: not only did my technician complete one foot without me noticing but also rendered the nails to perfection I had to stop working on my computer multiple times to see of the technician had fallen asleep: I could not feel a thing. And the nail job -- EASILY one of the best manicures I've ever enjoyed. If I was being really nitpicky I would mention that the sofa in reception has small stains on it, the little cup of water they offered just felt like an afterthought and the way the foot tub area is designed is awkward for men and taller women. And in the grand scheme of things? I really couldn't give a damn. For service this good, tiny failings aren't even in the equation VERDICT: NEAR PERFECTION ACROSS THE BOARD,

Update** After…read morewriting this review on their page, they texted me saying "Fuck you" for writing this review. (I attached the photo below however just like a lot of other customers that have written reviews on here, they deleted the photos. How unprofessional. I'm sure their massages are great but don't get a manicure here. I asked for a black shellac manicure, they started to put it on my nails, then she realized the color was terrible and they ran out of black. Then they told me they don't have time to give me a shellac manicure so they instead painted my nails black (non-shellac). However when she painted them black, she only put one coat on and it looked terrible because she didn't care to even make it look good because they gave it to me for free. Then I told them I was disappointed with my experience and she responded with telling me that "I'm sure you make mistakes with the job you have so we all make mistakes" instead of just owning up to it. Not a way of handling customer service. I wish the woman realized that the color was terrible before putting it on me instead of just putting it on me. It was not professional and she didn't seem to care. I regret spending my last vacation day getting my nails done here in Barcelona.

I am finally getting around to this review. I needed my lashes done after being in Europe for over…read morea month. I booked an appointment for a new set on their website. I also added brows and a facial. On the day of my appointment, everything was going great. I was set to arrive with time to spare. Until.... I got on the wrong train! Trying to turn around and get on the right train wasn't as easy as I expected. Then the stress set in. Luckily, the stop is only a couple of blocks away and I actually made it on time. However, I made a rookie/tourist mistake and assumed that the building number which I was standing in front of, was where I was supposed to be. Tip to my fellow tourists, face the building and walk a few steps to the left. I unfortunately walked up from the right and did not see their sign. I was already, stressed, and this added to my stress. I could not reach them by phone and I had already paid in full, so you can imagine the thoughts that were running through my head. I finally noticed a lady walk out a door to the left and I went to ask direction, then I realized that that is where I was supposed to be. Poor Deborah probably thought that I was insane because I was about to cry. All that aside, I received amazing service. The salon is small, intimate and clean. The facial was so so relaxing, that it eased away all the tension and stress that I had just accumulated. My lashes and brows came out fantastic as well. When I went to my lash appointment 3 weeks later, I still had a good amount of lashes left. We typically stay in Barcelona annually, and I have definitely found my new favorite spot. And now I know exact where they are located! Hasta la proxima!

I even forgot to bring payment and she let me bring the next day. I prefer them thick and short instead of long and unnatural. I showed her pictures and she knew exactly what I needed and did them perfectly.

I used Yelp to see what massage parlors were in distance of our hotel in Las Ramblas. I was tight after the eight hour flight on top of being a little hungover and just wanted to relax and have the kinks worked out of me. I found Secret Spot, and they offered one hour massages for only 38€. I saw that they were located up the Ramblas so I decided to go. They are located right across from La Boqueria public market - FYI. Overall, the place is nice but a little in he small side. You have to be buzzed in and then you walk up two flights of stairs. The massage was pretty good, and the woman who worked on my back and shoulders got most of the knots and tightness out. I thought she did a good job overall. Only thing I didn't like was that she kept the lights on when performing the massage.

This beauty center offers everything from hair removal to facials to nail services to body…read moretreatments. This review is specific to their waxing services. This place is easy to miss as it is located above another store. You have to buzz an intercom system that looks quite residential. The interior is bright, clean, and tastefully designed. When I was there, the receptionist spoke minimal English but she was quite patient with my broken Spanish. The waxing rooms are located down the hall far away from the reception and nails area so you have complete privacy. My beautician was Lara who was very friendly. The wax they use here is incredible! It's very thick and velvety. It was by far the most painless waxing session I've ever experienced- and yes it was for everything down there. The price for "pubis sencer del tot" was only 18 euros- a bargain by US standards. Everything on the price list seemed very cheap compared to other places in Barcelona. I highly recommend this place- ask for Lara!

I came with my sister. We were visiting from Denmark and decided to freshen up our hair as part of…read moreour vacation. When I came I had pixie cut with top length bleached and the rest was my natural dark blonde. I discussed the choice of hair colour with the only person who could speak English and she was translating to the rest of her colleagues. They suggested to bleach my hair completely for even colour effect. I agreed and so they proceeded. They applied bleach heavily on my hair and scalp and to my surprise left it on for about hour and half. I wasn't informed how long I was supposed to have it on my head or anything. They simply sometimes came and checked the processing so I trusted them as professionals. After about 2h they finally decided to wash it off and afterwards shampooed my hair. I was not told anything they were doing but they mentioned toning before so that's what I thought they were doing. Much to my surprise they applied bleach again. Left for some time (I have no idea how long I was not told anything) and came back to wash my hair again. Applied bleach again. This repeated for around 3-4 times. I was not told anything. Afterwards they washed it off, shampooed my hair again and I don't recall them applying any conditioning treatment or anything of that sort. I got up from the chair and freaked out at the look of my hair in the mirror. It was yellow, incredibly, badly looking yellow. I thought they would maybe finally tone my hair but they started blow drying it instead. I told them I don't like the yellow at all. They tried to convince me it's not yellow despite of me hearing them speaking in Spanish mentioning yellow over and over again. After I expressed my dislike for the chicken yellow hair they put me in the chair with the sink again. Again I wasn't told what they were doing at all. They informed me afterwards they applied bleach again! They left me there until I started complaining because it was burning my scalp. At last they washed it off and applied silver shampoo or something of that sort about three times on my head. Blow drying followed and yet again, my hair was yellow. As the hair dried my scalp felt incredibly sore and dry. I felt like my entire face was pulled backwards and my hair felt awfully dry and paper like. I complained about it but they said it was normal and also said my hair is healthy because they used ola - plex. Now, I know that's supposed to somewhat protect your hair but my hair didn't feel healthy at all! It was like bad bad bad dry grass or whatever. They did not listen to my complains claiming everything is perfect. Behind my back they were talking in Spanish about how it will look good on the photos on their website once they apply filters. I left feeling regretful and uncomfortable. After few minutes of just walking my scalp became unbearably sore. It was painful, hot, burning and just the worst experience. We came back and all they suggested was applying another shampoo!!! We refused and asked them politely to return my money as I paid 135€ for basically burning my scalp and hair. They refused and said the job is well done. Overall... The worst experience ever. Spent almost 5 hours in there and left with PTSD and burns. This experience will make me not go to any hair salon for very long time. The photos are from day later after I applied heavy amount of argan oil and conditioner in other to hydrate whatever was left from my hair.

They charge half the price of the service at the time of booking, which is common practice in Spain. However, my travel plans changed and I had to cancel online well before the cancellation deadline.

After the call, they emailed me saying the money had been refunded but they were still charging 5 euros because "that is what the system charges them." I understand fees exist, but why does the customer have to lose money for cancelling an appointment on time? This was not indicated anywhere during the booking process. Highly disappointed.
