Now I am not an avid fan of it but I am also not an avid fan of preaching so if it makes my friend feel better then I am happy for her. I went along with her when she came to visit and wanted to check out the practice and its prices. The clinic doesn't just do botox, its does a plethora of skin related treatments. From tattoo removal, microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, skin peel (that sounds scary in itself) acne treatment and teeth whitening amongst other things. It has ridiculously pretty receptions staff but I think that's to make your feel like you need the treatments more. My friend got a consultation right there and then and she was really happy with the price system and the practitioner. http://beautytruthsnotuglylies.blogspot.com/

A little while ago I decided I should treat myself to something new…read more I'd never had a professional massage before but had often spotted vouchers in various discount sites. Unfortunately these were invariably in places not easily or cheaply accessed by public transport. Then I found one for DepiCool, a clinic in the centre of Leeds. Perfect! I rang and spoke to Tyanne, who was very helpful and booked and appointment with her for an aromatherapy massage the following week. As I was a new customer I was asked to complete a health survey before we started and we discussed one or two issues, including whether there were any area I felt needed particular treatment or any I'd prefer to avoid. I was then shown into a treatment room which was darkened and lit with candles. I took off my jewellery and we decided which oil mixture I preferred. I was then left alone to undress, climb onto the couch and cover myself with the towels provided. Tyanne came back in and began the massage starting at my feet and working her way up while I lay on my back. She then held the towels up to screen me as I turned onto my stomach. The couch had a hole for my face!! Altogether it was probably the most relaxing hour I've ever spent and it I had the money I would be there every week. As it is I'm saving up to go back. The only issue that I had was that a step to get up onto the couch would have been useful as I'm very short. I did mention that to Tyanne and she she said that she would look at buying one now that she was aware it might be an issue.

I received a Skin Therapy voucher as part of my anniversary present…read more this looked very good; a full body massage and a facial; i was really looking forward to it. The mobile number provided went straight to voicemail but this wasn't a problem for me. I know that these companies often don't use receptionists but the therapists do ring back. Unfortunately not this time...... or the next time I left a message,......or the time after. The fourth time I rang I got one of those messages which tell you the number is unobtainable. Not to worry, I can always check it out on the internet! So I did and found a land line number. I rang it but it was engaged......several times a day....for three days. After that I got the message.... " the number you have rung is unobtainable" Ever an optimist, I was undaunted. Since I had to be in town today I thought I'd pop in and make an appointment. When I arrived I found four people sitting in a very attractive reception area and after a little while i was followed in by a young lady who turned out to be one of the therapists. I explained that I had a voucher and had been trying to contact them for some weeks to make an appointment. Her first assumption was that I wanted a refund; this struck me as odd since A) I'd talked of wanting to make an appointment B) I hadn't mentioned a refund C) Refunds come from the voucher company She also volunteered that the lack of response to my messages is because Skin Therapy only employs the therapists and has no reception staff. I know that this is common for beauty therapy services but other companies do manage to respond to voicemails. During this conversation therapist #2 arrived, overheard my part of the conversation and told me that there was a huge backlog of voicemails as the receptionist is on holiday. At this point it became clear that I couldn't have an appointment since the next available one is six weeks away and the voucher will have expired by then. I'm afraid that when #2 continued to expound on he subject of the absent receptionist I did laugh out loud. Perhaps I have warped sense of humour but there is something very comical about two people who expect to be believed while telling different stories to the same person. I may be jumping to conclusions here but I suspect that one or both of them might have been lying; the alternative is that either #1 isn't aware that they employ a receptionist or #2 isn't aware that they don't employ a receptionist. I suspect that the real explanation is that they don't check voicemails because they already have as much business as they can deal with. This is very nice for the company but then it is dishonest to offer vouchers under that situation. In short, I'm sure they are marvellous therapists and probably very nice girls but they really need a hand with their organisational and people skills. Not worth bothering with unless you can pay full price, make an appointment in person and want to wait six weeks for an appointment

My two housemates and I found an offer on Groupon for here - my housemate found one bad review and…read moredecided to go check the place out before buying anything... She came back and said she saw one of the staff having an argument with a customer and didn't like the look of the place (she's well accustomed to salons), so decided to leave it. My other housemate and I checked the place out (beauty salon newbies) and thought it was OK, so decided we'd give it a go. My advice, honestly - don't bother. While the beautician I've had is sweet, two in particular have absolutely NO bedside manner (which you definitely need when you're dealing with intimate areas - I'm having my bikini lasered). I was horrified when, on the day of my patch test, a man walked in and one of the staff called across the room (there were me and a couple of other women waitin - probably quite intimidating for a man wakling into a feminine environment) "You're 'avin' laser treatment, yeah?" Poor bloke. My housemate also heard one of the pair slagging off an 'awkward' customer outside her treatment curtain the other day. I was told my treatment would be a Hollywood, which means *everything* off (bikini line & front to back), but the beautician basically gave me a bikini laser - she was clearly too shy to get me to assume the positions that would allow her to give me the hollywood I thought I was getting. And I was too shy to ask. I also had to wait an HOUR to have my booked appointment today. After a 45 minute wait, I went into the treatment room, took my bottoms off and got up on the bed. The beautician went through what treatment I was having, but missed out my legs, so I just added to confirm, "And legs, yeah?" - she left the room for a minute, and then returned to ask me to put my bottoms on so that she could get the other two women in the waiting room done before me (they were bikini only). They did explain when I went in that they were running behind because there was a fire alarm not long before, but that they were only running 15 mins behind. Not a whole hr. ... But what made it worse was that last time, I'd had to wait 40 minuites (my appointment was 10:30am - the first or second of the day!!), and a few days ago, my housemate had to wait 45 minutes - and neither of those times did they at any point mention there was any delay. Honestly, this place is a stressful mess, and the staff aren't nice to deal with. Steer well clear.
