I booked a pamper package here, using a KGB deal…read more Aruba Beauty have been at this site for 10 years, but i had no idea they existed as they are above the tanning centre, so you have to walk in past the tanning cubicles, then you'll see the stairs to their salon. I assumed the treatment rooms would be quite small however i was pleasantly surprised to find that they were a very decent size! My therapist Hannah, was lovely and immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I had a back neck and shoulder massage, which was amazing, i could really feel the difference....it did get quite painful at one point as i had ALOT of knots in my shoulders but she got them all out and my back felt so much looser afterwards, so she did a brilliant job! Next i had a facial which made my skin feel really fresh and soft and. I was very impressed that Hannah was very knowledgeable, i assumed i had a few whiteheads on my face, she told me straight away its Milia and its very common and how to get rid of them. Lastly i had a manicure and polish, they use OPI polish and there was a good selection of colors available, so its almost been a week now and only minor chips on the tips of a few nails. Hannah told me to take my car keys out before she put the polish on, after the polish was applied she passed me my keys and put my bag on my shoulder for me so that my nails wouldn't get ruined, which was very sweet of her. All in all it was a fabulous experience, and I've found my new local masseuse. Can't find any fault, or negative things to say , so five stars it is!

Hannah is the complete professional. The room was quickly transformed into a massage room for me…read morewhen I turned up and although the treatment went a lot quicker than I was expecting it to I wasn't short-changed on my time at all. She is chatty and friendly and good at what she does. My only niggle was that the room was quite cold... and when you're having to remove layers of clothes and lie on a bed with just a blanket over, raising the room temperature is a must! The heater in the room didn't cut the mustard unfortunately. Still, I pointed this out and was compensated with extra blankets which took the bite off, but the building and the sub-zero temperatures outside was the main cause of the problem. Happy to recommend this place to others in the area and, like the other reviewer said, you have to go into the tanning place and up the stairs to get to this. But call to make an appointment and the rest is a breeze.

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses…read more I read your customers' feedback and feel that either they have never visited or that I went to the wrong place. I have back massages fairly regularly for an ongoing problem but I will not be returning to the Shirley Massage Centre; do not be fooled by the very professional looking website. I arrived early and assumed the lady there was a previous client getting ready to leave - wrong. The lady was occupied by her mobile phone and did not hear me arrive (there was nobody on the reception desk) when she noticed me she asked me for payment up front then told me to get ready. It's a good job that I'm not too precious about my body as there are no towels or sheets for you to cover yourself and you are totally exposed. I was not asked if there were any particular areas to be concentrated on and off she went without using oil or introducing her hands to my back. Because there was no oil my skin was being pinched, which was quite painful and I had to stop her. I asked her if she was going to use oil and she said that not everybody likes it, which is no reason not to ask me. There was no way that this woman has been trained in massage and I have no idea what Original Point Massage is as no discussion took place about anything. When my time was up I got dressed but she did not leave the room so again, good job I'm not particularly bothered. A weird experience with poor service and I will not recommend or return.

Brummie bohemians rejoice! Xanadu is a great little fair trade clothes shop located in Selly Oak,…read morethat's a much needed establishment to the area. Students at University of Birmingham can finally become hippies again (which is exactly what the student life should be like!). Stocking men's and women's clothes, each item is handmade to perfection and imported from the likes of India and Nepal. There's a brilliant selection of garments that rival the Hippy Buddy shop in the Oasis Market perfectly. In fact, I find this shop a lot more convincingly authentic when compared to most other stores in the same league. As well as fresh, uniquely, natural-made clothes, Xanadu also sells didgeridoos, candles, incense, singing bowls and many other spiritually inspiring products. There's a great selection of religious symbolisms and buddha statues sold in store too; I'd love this place to be my house, I'd feel so cultured and relaxed! Especially when you realise that Xanadu are massage therapist as well! When can I move in? This is a brilliant shop that basks in everything bohemian, and even the store front has been hand designed too. I wish more shops were as beautifully creative as this!

I really like this shop, I think that it is different and alternative, especially in comparison to…read morethe other stores in Selly Oak. It has a variety of clothing for both men and women and is what some may call a 'hippy shop'. I have never bought any clothes from here, but they have more to offer as well as clothes. They also sell candles, crystals, pretty ornaments for home, incense and lots of other healing and holistic-style materials. They also offer various treatments too such as reflexology and massage. You would have to enquire about these though as I have not booked any myself. I like coming in here as it is peaceful and I like the candles and incense. The staff are friendly and are willing to chat about the things they offer here including spiritual advice. Overall, it is a good shop if you are into this kind of thing!

Anyway the massage was just what I needed, the atmosphere was serene and relaxed with a divine aroma drifting around the room. My back was thoroughly rubbed to leave me feeling loose and rejuvenated by the end. The tension that seemed to have accrued over a week of activity was dissipated by a very capable masseuse. Treat yourself to some tlc and head to Re-Spa.
