When I first got to know about laser hair removal, SK:N was one of the first salons I went to for a…read moreconsultation. When I booked an appointment over the telephone, I was told I would have to pay a deposit for test patch that would be reimbursed after the appointment. So, it was just to secure the appointment. However, on the day I was not only made to wait almost 20 minutes for my appointment but I was met by a cold consultant who was quite rude. I was then told the deposit was non-refundable and when I contested this with what I was told over the telephone, I was told that no receptionist would say such a thing. So it was my word against theirs. I was not impressed with the service at all and unsurprisingly I never returned.

My first impression of the salon was good. It's clean, well-presented and professional-looking with…read morelots of literature to read and products on display. The receptionist warmly received me but although I was on time I was made to wait for some time. The treatment was a lot more relaxing that I thought it would be because after the exfoliation, I was treated to a face mask and left alone. However, each time I went, I was treated by the same therapist and she never seemed to remember me. I went once a month so surely you couldn't forget a person! She would ask me the same questions on what my beauty regime is and what products I use, and then promote those that are sold at the salon. The treatment was so-so. I didn't get the desired effects but I'm not sure whether it's because I overestimated the outcome after three treatments. The location is somewhat dubious because you don't really want to walk through shopping areas when your face looks greasy and pink after microdermabrasion!

Really lovely place, very friendly staff and wonderful treatments offered. Having struggled with my…read moreskin for a few years, I'd tried many clinics and dermatologists, who sadly didn't seem to help. Visiting Destination Skin was a very different experience for me, as not only did the staff really listen to my concerns, but they actually made an effort to really make a difference to my skin - as opposed to just taking my money like others had done previously. Destination Skin is the only place I've visited that has actually managed to improve my skin. I definitely recommend their services to others.

After trying my luck at the SK:N near Five Ways, and not being happy with the service, I took a…read morechance with this branch. The staff here are much more friendly and helpful. The salon is fairly new and well maintained with a clean and fresh look. I bought a course of treatments, which were conducted by various staff members each time I attended. I think it would have been more helpful to have been treated by one consultant consistently so that they would be familiar to me and the area I was getting treated. They sell Jane Iredale make-up, which is fantastic for your skin. It's mineral-based so does good to your skin whilst making you look good! However, when I brought a friend in to sample it she was told that they don't try it out on people, which defeats the purpose of trying to sell it.

They were v quick to sell me hair laser removal packages but when I went back complaining that it…read morehad not worked as well and I should get some mor free sessions ,they said I had not been regular and stuck to the 4 weeks interval-when I asked why wasn't I advised this when the therapist saw that I was giving longer gaps -then I was told oh it's in the contract !! However they are trying now to sell me more sessions in a bid that I need more work

I would no longer recommend the Courthouse Clinic Brentwood, I have had skin treatment,…read moreLightfusion for the last 9 months at the Brentwood Clinic and my skin looks worse than when I started. I also had a test on my skin to see if it was doing better but flagged so many new problems. After raising my concern with the clinic I was offered a free treatment of the same kind that ruined my skin, and more photos to undermine my concerns. I bought all their recommend products and used them without fail, which were expensive. It is extremely distressing and I do not want anyone else to go through this.

Considering it's city centre location Juliet's is crazy cheap. If you need specialist hair products…read moreyou will no doubt find them here. They have a huge range of wigs and extensions that can be bought and woven in on site or to take away. I personally don't go there for the extensions or on site eyebrow threading but I've been in there before a big weekend when the place is packed full of women colour matching. I go to Juliet's for crazy colour hair dye. Apart from on the Soho road you won't find it cheaper. My hairdresser has tried to stock it in her salon and can't get it in as cheap as Juliet's. So if you like your bright colours, fancy a colourful dip dye then this is the place to buy it.

I visited Juliet's recently with an Alopecian friend, to shop for wigs. She was after something for…read morea smaller head, maybe something tailored towards Asian ladies, and I was after a ginger wig for a fancy dress party. I wasn't that impressed with the customer service here and, although they did have quite a few wigs, they had nothing ginger and nothing small. We asked if we could look at the catalogue but the bored looking, male assistant was hesitant to let us. The wig catalogue was in fact a double sided print on A4 and not quite what we were hoping for. We then noticed a sign saying 'Wig Boutique Downstairs' but when we enquired we were told flat out that we couldn't go down there; Not even so much as an excuse. Man, these guys really want to sell wigs! My friend then enquired about the price of a wig in human hair. The assistant pointed to some hair extensions instead of wigs because he wasn't listening to her even though I'm pretty sure we were the only 2 customers in the shop. All in all I'd say if you are after some products for afro hair or a wig which isn't ginger or smaller than average then you might find what you are looking for here. They do have about 50 wigs in store. But if you are a bit shy to ask for help then don't bother coming here as this particular man wasn't the most approachable or helpful.
