A decorated house in turquoise paint, butterflies and dragon flies... One room is slightly different to what most houses would properly have in that area, because it has been created into a relaxing and a beautiful massage room. The prices are cheap for a private massage place. It has really friendly people there and I thought I would end up falling asleep during my massage, but actually I spent the whole time talking to the lady who did my Hot Stones massage. Relaxing music plays away and quiet, girly chatter... whilst I feel warm female hands, oil and then later hot stones as well as the warm oil already soothed into my body as the hour passes us by. I would recommend all women, massage spa fans, and those with back problems or aches and pains; I loved it and would go back again. It is near Barry town shopping centre.

They also offer a wide range of massage packages including aromatherapy and deep tissue Swedish. This was my first proper massage and I head the head neck shoulder and back Swedish massage and it felt like a goddess had touched me. Altogether my treatments took two hours total and only cost £55. The staff are super nice and courteous and constantly checking to see if you are comfortable or need a beverage. I can't wait for next year so I can visit them again!

I've been a fan of The Nibblers since it's opened and I can't believe I havent given it a review…read moreyet! The Nibblers is a family run business offering high quality service. Initially set up offering Garra Ruffa Fish Therapy, they have now branched into other complimentary beauty therapies. I've had waxing, acrylic nails, hopi ear candling and an Indian head massage. I also use their 'wobbly machines'. Out of all the salons I've used, this one is by far my favourite! They use good quality products, the staff really know their job (and clearly love what they do) and time and time again, I come away impressed with the quality of service I've received. Well worth a visit! Edited to add that yet again I'm struck by their high quality and caring service. They managed to fit me in for an emergency eyebrow wax. No matter how busy they are, you are always treated with the best service possible! I've tried many salons over the years and this one is by far my favourite and it has very much earned my loyalty.

For £15 you can get blasted with a hose full of brown dye and be on your way within half an hour. One of the women there asks me how my job interview went every time I go there and I don't have the heart to tell her that she's probably mistaken me for another girl. Still, she maintains eye contact when I'm in the nude and has probably seen me naked more than anyone else has in the last few months. All the girls at Bodywise are sweet, friendly and easy to chat to when you're having your treatments. They will also do their best to accomodate you if you're in dire need of a tan/wax/tint. As if you needed any more convincing, at some point last September my best friend burst in with yeti legs and and an unruly bikini line and swears blind she had the quickest and least painful waxing of her life.

Well, where do I start? Partner wanted to start getting his back waxed professionally after I did…read moreit once for him at home during lockdown (but it took me far too long and was rather messy). On 25th March, I made a booking via their website for 8th May at 11am. On 7th May Danielle messaged my partner and asked if he could come in later for his appt at 2.15pm as she would be on her own during the morning. No problems we thought and accepted the change of time. 8th May, partner went for his back wax, all went ok. He was also booked in for a chest wax straight after, if the hair was long enough. Danielle did a test area but told him it was still too short and arranged for him to come back the following Sat 15th May at 11am. The morning of the 15th May, Danielle sends a text saying she was cancelling his appt as she wasnt feeling well and needed to go for a Covid test. Although an inconvenience, we accepted things like this happen and agreed to rebook. Danielle telephoned later that day and a 2nd booking was made for Sat 22nd May at 10.30am. The day before, I receive a call from Danielle saying they wouldn't be opening the salon now on 22nd because her colleague Rebecca had had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and still wasnt well enough to return to work and it was her that my partner had been booked in with. I asked why Danielle had called me and not my partner directly and she said she'd "tried calling but couldn't get through". I explained partner was working and most probably driving, however when I asked him about it all later that evening he'd had NO missed calls from her or anyone at the salon and no texts. So this was a lie. I begrudgingly agreed to move his appt yet again to today, 27th May at 10am. She stated Rebecca would be doing it and "put it all in the diary" during our phone call that evening (which I have a recording of on my phone of Danielle saying this!!). This was now the 3rd date we had booked with Beauty Basics. I thought it was odd that someone who has just had major abdominal surgery would be returning to work so soon but gave her the benefit of the doubt, despite knowing that the general rule of thumb with such surgery is that you are generally out of action unable to work/lift anything/ drive for 6+ weeks while the body heals. So...today arrives. Partner goes down for 10am and was told "the booking wasnt in the diary". Hmm, this is strange as I'm certain Danielle wrote it in the diary during our call on 21st May . Partner is apologised to for god knows the umpteenth time and asked to come back in an hour... strange that, as we were told Rebecca was booked in to do the treatment. By this point he *politely* told them he'd specifically taken the rest of the day off work to come in and have his appointment and to just forget it. With that he turned round and walked out...still fuzzy and no closer to getting his chest done. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, LIE ABOUT TRYING TO CALL YOU, CHANGE PEOPLES APPOINTMENTS WITH NO CARE IN THE WORLD. Partner thinks that they just couldn't be bothered to do it. Have now made a new appt with a different company who sound a lot more professional in their approach to their clients than Beauty Basics does. And judging by the other number of 1* reviews on here I can see why clients have taken their business elsewhere. I would never have booked my partner in here knowing the owner Rebecca doesnt have any public liability insurance which another misfortunate client sadly discovered & made clear in her also, 1* review. Place should be shut down. Not fit for purpose from other clients experiences.

They book their next appointment before they leave the salon. This means that it is almost impossible to get a last minute appointment as the stylists are booked up for weeks in advance.
