So full disclosure - I've been going to the flagship business, Imenio Hair Salon (2 doors down) for the past 20 years - and after returning to London, I saw that a sister business for skin care, nails, waxing, massage, etc. has opened! Based on my excellent experience at Imenio Hair Salon, I immediately made an appointment for waxing and a facial - and the bonus is, if you are an Imenio Hair customer, you receive a discount on services at Imenio Beauty! My waxing and facial was with Mimi - and I couldn't have been more happy with her services. I've been recuperating from some horrible painful waxing experiences in the States - but with Mimi, I've had absolutely NO ingrown hairs, spots, or damaged skin. The pink wax she used is new to me and very gentle on my skin - plus, her excellent technique speaks for itself. As for the facial, Mimi has helped to heal and correct my mysterious, long-time acne breakouts. For the past few years, I've had horrible acne and NOTHING (including dermatologists, prescription cream, antibiotics, diet changes, etc.) has worked. Last month I had more crazy eruptions that were horrible, including scaly skin peeling off daily (!! INSANE!!) - and so booked a cleansing facial with Mimi to get us started and see what we'd do moving forward. We discussed a lot of hypotheses and I described the patterns and where the breakouts were occurring - and based on that, I know that I'm going to book a lymphatic facial to get rid of the toxins in me. But after my first facial - no lie, ONE WEEK after my facial with Mimi, my breakouts and overwhelming acne is GONE. When Mimi saw me a week later, she was so happy for me - and I couldn't stop thanking her. I can finally feel confident about my face - this is the first time in YEARS that I haven't had mysterious acne. There's NO question - I am so grateful to Mimi and will continue to give my business to this amazing establishment!! read more
