I popped into Elegance by chance one day, when I was waiting on a Bus in Uddinston and had actually mistaken it for a clothes store.
The windows are laden with scarves and bags, none of which look particularly nice or expensive, but all the same, I had nothing better to do. On second glace, I realised it is a beauticians, but with a bit of a difference. I think it is Asian owned, and there is a big sign outside saying 'Tattoos £20', which scared me slightly. I'm not entirely sure if that meant make up or eyebrow tattooing, or actual tattooing of the skin, but either way, if it costs £20 it is probably more than a little dodgy.
The outside of the shop is painted a crass pink colour, and doesn't look very elegant at all. They offer waxing, threading and nail treatments to name a few, with prices around the same as other salons in the area. I felt quite unwelcome, not to mention stupid at having walked into a beauticians thinking it sold jewellery, so I smiled awkwardly and left sharpish.
Somewhere that may be interesting, but no where that I will be rushing back to. read more
