My hair cut is a tricky one to get right. As a result he only person I trust to put his scissors to…read moremy follicles is Marc Phillpott. So I've followed him from Toni & Guy, to James Bushell in Five Ways, Birmingham and now all the way to The Spa in Leamington. It's a relaxing place to have your hair cut. You start in a separate room with muted colours where hair is washed and where piped tasteful instrumental music plays in the background. Then through to the main cutting room. There's lots of space and the room is well lit. I'm always happy with my cut as Marc has two key skills of a stylist: Experience and the ability to collaborate with me on my cut, suggesting slight changes before he starts. As well as offering cuts and colours, as the name suggests The Spa also offer a range of beauty treatments including the Spa Experience, waxing, epilation and Botox.

So this place was recommended to me by a friend, and so we decided to pop along one Saturday for…read moresome relaxing treatments. The spa is nicely decorated in modern design and includes a hairdressers downstairs and a cafe on the lower level. Upstairs are where the treatment rooms lie. We were warmly greeted by the reception ladies and were taken downstairs to the cafe area to complete a personal details form. This part of the experience felt a bit rushed as we hadn't even finished completing our forms when the therapists came through to collect us for our treatments. We were then taken upstairs into our treatment room. I had opted for a detox body mask and was asked to complete another short form - allergies etc. My therapist was friendly and funnily enough was also called Lydia! The treatment involved lying on a warm massage bed, with a body mask put all over my body and then I was wrapped up in plastic with towels put on top of me so that the heat would work its magic and the mask would penetrate the skin. After about 10mins of relaxation with the lights turned off and cotton pads out over my eyes, it was time to wash the mask off in the shower. A body lotion then followed. I left feeling very relaxed and nicely moisturised. Would love to return and experience the other treatments.

Clarins Spa is located inside the House of Fraser store and is a little oasis of peace and calmness…read morein the main shopping street of Leamington Spa. The Spa offers a full menu of Clarins treatments but my personal favourite has to be the Clarins TriActive Facial. This treatment lasts for 90 minutes during which I lie down and relax in a private treatment room while the lights are dimmed, soothing music is played and one of the lovely ladies exfoliates, cleanses, tones and moisturises me. This session also includes massages on the scalp, hands & arms and feet. Although I love facials & enjoy the pampering element, I know that my own skin has been so thoroughly neglected in the past that I'm a bit blasé about seeing any lasting results. However, the TriActive facial includes a face mask that I like to refer to as the 'Hannibal' because it wraps around the bottom of the face & pulls in all the saggy bits. After my first Triactive facial I was amazed that my chin did feel tighter and the effect lasted for quite a while. The other great thing about the Clarins Spa is the 'Time for Me' promotion they run. When paying for any treatment or product 'time' is added to a loyalty card which builds up to a free treatment of your choice. This Spa is thoroughly recommended for anyone needing a little time out from their busy lives.

When I arrived for my appointment, I had to wait over 15 minutes even though I had a reservation and it was relatively quiet. I had a bit of gel polish leftover that I had to have removed, but only on 4 nails. When I checked out, I was charged 40 pounds for my service. When asked about the price, the receptionist told me I was charged 15 pounds for the removal, and 25 for the manicure, both prices which are more than what is indicated on their price list. She was very unapologetic and couldn't explain to me the discrepancy. All in all, this manicure was not worth the money. I will not be going here again!
