I have been to Belle Cour 3 times. The first time was for a shellac manicure which was pretty good,…read moreI can't say I have had a better one in London. It was flawless for the 2 weeks and the guy doing it was quiet but really polite and sweet. I just booked it as it was convenient to work and I needed it done asap so it exceeded expectations. The second time I went was for an eyebrow thread as again- it was close and available near my work. I usually go to a different place as I am particular about my brows. A lady called Nokie did the treatment and it was amazing. Again, I am super fussy and vain about my brows as they are really thick and strong. She is a perfectionist and a really nice person. As she did such a good job I asked her about getting a bikini wax as I had never done one before and she talked me through the whole thing. I booked in for the following week and she was so professional and brilliant. Obviously not the most painless experience but she is so great at talking you through it and minimizing any embarrassment you might feel. Super therapist in my opinion. Possibly a bit more expensive than other salons but standard price for the area. I will always use this salon as they are super good at what they do and very customer focused. I don't mind paying slightly extra- they seem to be very good to their clientele so far so it is worth the extra to have a job well done.

I was impressed by her knowledge and expertise when she told me what her profession was. I've had problems in the past when getting my brows waxed. She knew exactly what she was talking about. I felt that she would be the best person to go to. I made the appointment the very next day to get my eyebrows threaded. When I went into the salon she made me feel wellcome and relaxed. She explained the threading procedure again and put me at ease. I was so impressed with the results I told everyone about her. My boss went down the next week and made an appointment. She also gave me tips on plucking my brows. I would never dream of going to anyone else now. Its safe to say that I will be a lifelong fan, and convert to the Upper Echelon school of brow threading. Thanks for everything. Ann.

They said they have been told by the head office if they remove even one hair you will be charged for the entire area.

You will find a ton of places who have women from blink shifting due to their huge staff turnover and you can do your brows in a fraction of the price. I only went as the family member I took has mobility issues but NEVER again

Not sure why others claim the waxing at Strip is 'painless'. It is true that strip wax is…read moremarginally less painful than normal waxing but, let's face it, waxing is- and will never be- pain free. That said, if I must put myself through torture there is no better place to do so (although Ministry of Waxing on South Molton St is comparable). The rooms are all individually decorated and the place has nice, thoughtful touches like sanitary products in the loo and baby wipes in the rooms. I've been using Strip since it opened over three years ago and I've almost never had the same therapist (admittedly, I've never asked for the same girl as I'm not good with names!) The skills and attention to 'wax detail' varies a lot so if you find a therapist who does a good job, I'd ask for her by name the next time you book and appointment. It's not very cheap. I'm on a second set of a courses (from memory, buy six, pay for five) but once the course I'm on is done I won't be getting another one. The thing I liked (note past tense) was that one could use the course at any of the branches. Since Strip has expanded into the City and West End, however, they've stopped allowing courses to be used across branches which makes it much less convenient for me as I liked to have the choice of going to a branch near home or near work. I believe this is because the branches are franchised out. But, honestly, should that be the customer's problem??

Thank you Yelp for yet another helpful discovery. My eyebrows basically decided to globetrek and…read morewere off in different directions.

Will definitely come back.

I was won over by previous reviews on google and booked in for a wax service. But it turned our to…read morebe the worse waxing experience I've ever had. No care or customer service or consideration and I say avoid unless you want cheap and efficient. Apart from the efficiency and price I found the experience awful and felt like I'd been slung through the fast food drive through of waxing. The receptionist was lovely but after I filled out my form for the first visit I was shown to a room and left there by someone else. The woman appears opens the door and she tells me abruptly to undress. It's then I realised the woman who had shown me in was my waxer to be but wouldn't have known from the way she was dressed. Door shuts again. I undress she returns and she tells me to get on the bench. I'm ticklish so I tell her so and sticks the wax on. Both arms at once so I have both arms held above my head uncomfortably and she waits till the wax hardens and strips it off, one arm followed by the other. She then plucks in a slap dash way stray hairs and she pinches me with her tweezers. The whole experience was pretty traumatic. I'm thankful it was only underarms. I'm left to dress and I ask her about aftercare because I don't wax regularly. She responds by tapping a paper sign on the back of the door with her finger and tells me to read and she leaves while telling me to "keep waxing". We've exchanged barely a sentence in the whole service. Just to add she never once cleaned my pits before or after the wax which is somewhat concerning, especially as there was some slight bleeding after. I leave and she is polite enough but I will never ever ever return. UPDATE: After examining my pit after the service I can see loads of hairs that have just broken rather than being removed cleanly as she just applied one big layer of wax and didn't factor in the different direction of hairs.

She is awesome. Immediately saw that my brows are naturally uneven and planned how to begin balancing them - instead of just threading each separately as everyone else in London has done, resulting in ridiculous looking results. She suggested tinting them which no one has ever done and they look better than ever. I'm impressed. Thanks so much, Mona!!

My daughter went to the Accademy in Greek street. She came home in tears…read more She has curly mixed race (African/Asian hair). I asked before making the appointment if they could do this style of hair was told yes they do. I was told to just make sure that this was mentioned at the time of the appointment which was done. The haircut is beyond bad and the blowdry is beyond words. No product used, no consideration of the type of hair she has. IF YOU CAN NOT DO THIS TYPE OF HAIR BE HONEST. EVEN UPON SEEING THE HAIR YOU CAN BE HONEST AND DECLINE THE APPOINTMENT. THE HONESTY WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED AND UNDERSTOOD. My daughter is not the most confidient young lady so she was looking forward to a good hair cut after many bad experiences. She came home in tears and locked herself in the bathroom. When she did let me in I can see why. The tutor and the stylist should be ashamed of themselves. I would not reccomend this accademy to anyone with this type of hair even if they assure you they know how to deal with this type of hair.
