The chairs are now stained and grubby and very obvious signs of wear and tear. Seems tired. The thing that will prevent me from returning though was getting my back and clothing absolutely soaked when having my hair washed. The person washing it just shrugged and said "yeah, the new sinks are bad for that". No apology at all. Not a pleasant experience.

As I have now reached that delicate age of +30 I have been really keen to start making a bit more…read moreof an effort with my skin care. When I read about 33 Dowanhill on Yelp it sounded perfect, so I booked up asap. I was met by the lovely Joanna and she very quickly made me feel at ease. We initially discussed my current skin care regime and what I wanted to get out of my appointment. This was done in a really relaxed manner and I felt able to admit the cardinal sin - I use face wipes!!! Eek! I popped myself into the facial room, it was just heavenly. Beautiful décor throughout and the bed was extremely comfortable and heated, just bliss! The facial itself was amazing. Jo used a variety of products and techniques during the facial which left my skin feeling so fresh and soft. These included facial massage, lymphatic drainage and use of pressure point techniques which helps in reducing wrinkles and improves blood circulation. Bringing the facial to a close I received a lovely head massage. A few days after the treatment my skin was glowing and I decided to contacted Jo to request a product box. She devised a personalised prescription for my individual skin needs. This included products for an AM and PM regime, to help maintain and improve my current skin. She provided a detailed description of how to use each product; when and how much. I feel I have now turned a corner in my skin care regime and that's all thanks to Jo. I really trust her professional judgement on what products to use, and I now have the confidence (with her guidance) to deviate from the traditional high street brands. I was also surprised that these don't all come with a high price tag. I cannot recommend 33 Dowanhill enough. I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. It has the most beautiful relaxed atmosphere, and you are certainly in very capable hands!

The minute I walked through the doors of 33 Dowanhill I instantly felt relaxed. Joanna, the owner,…read morehas used a palette of warm and calming neutrals with elegant finishing touches to create a peaceful haven in Glasgow's busy West End. Joanna herself is a real pleasure to meet, and of course her skin is glowing. With no brand association, Joanna is free to choose the best products available on the market, allowing her to create a bespoke Signature Facial for you. The product range includes Merumaya, Pixi, Oskia, Ermana, Isla Apothecary to name a few. When it came to the facial itself we had a discussion about my skin, my main areas of concern, and what products she might use... As the facials are completely bespoke for each individual, there is an option for all products used to be natural - this is particularly useful for those who are trying to avoid all chemicals, for example, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, for those with particularly sensitive skin, or for those with particular health reasons. The facial itself was pure bliss, just over one hour of facial massage, pressure point work, lymphatic drainage and head massage. I didn't want it to end but was looking forward to seeing what the results would be, as I have recently been finding my skin very dehydrated, and have noticed my fine lines around my eyes have been much more visible. Immediately after the facial my skin felt amazing, but was a little flushed following the massage. It was the next morning that I really noticed the improvement in the appearance of my skin. My skin was visibly more hydrated and smoother, and I definitely noticed an improvement around my eye area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joanna's Signature Facials. Even 1-2 weeks after my facial, I am still noticing an improvement in my skin compared to before my visit to 33 Dowanhill. I don't think I have ever noticed such lasting results following a facial before, and you can't beat the confidence that comes with good skin.
