Yes it's a little unusual to have a space like this in serviced offices but once you're in the Bespoke Health room, you're in Lorraine's capable hands. The room is small but adequately equipped and Lorraine makes you feel right at home, treating you like an old friend that she is so pleased to see. The prices are extremely competitive, especially for the city centre. I've had the wax so far but will go back for more. Call her up and see what she what she can do for you! Enter through the Regus building door and let reception know you're there.

I'll be honest and say that at first I was a little sceptical about having a massage in a room in a…read moreRegis building, knowing that just down the corridor there would be people wondering around in suits and talking business. I don't have a lot of massages (though wish I did!) and when I do, well, I tend to go to Spa's so that a massage is part of a relaxing day of pampering. However, my scepticism soon wore off. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist, and able to wait in the business lounge where I made good use of my time and realised how perfect this set up is for busy professionals. Lorraine has turned her room into a little haven of tranquillity, full of warm, bright and welcoming colours, candles and cushions. As soon as you walk in, you start to feel the relaxation vibe working its magic. If I worked in that building, I'd be there every day! What a way to de-stress. My Monday treat was a back massage, and the only suitable word to describe it really is "WOW". I've not had one for, well, so long that I can't actually remember when it was, and so I really needed it. Now, over the years, I've had massages so painful that I've spent my entire time in a tense state, begging for it to end and suppressing screams whilst chanting "wimp" in my head. I've also had massages that feel like someone is ticking you with a feather, and a rather limp one, at that, the sort that feels like a total waste of money. Personally, I prefer the middle ground, where I can feel it doing something without submitting me to immense pain. Thankfully, this was exactly what I got; a great, firm and highly professional massage, working on my tense areas and using an oil that was still tingling and working into my muscles deliciously an hour later. Situated just off Victoria Square, opposite the Town Hall, Bespoke Health Studio is in a prime location for city workers to nip out and enjoy a de-stressing pamper during their busy working days. If you come into that category, then I cannot recommend Lorraine and Bespoke Health Studio enough! Get on the phone, and book yourself in before this rising star is booked months ahead!

The wonderful Vicky O recommended Beena to me and after avoiding my eyebrows for a time too long to…read moremention here, I booked an emergency appointment before I was to attend a wedding. Even though I rang at half five on a Friday night to book an appointment, Beena fit me in immediately and I ran straight over. Located within TipTop Photography on the corner of Warstone Lane and Spencer Street, you ascend up a non-descript staircase and into Beena's neutrally designed studio. Beena was incredibly welcoming and the addition of Radio 2 in the background made me feel very relaxed. She asked me what my normal routine was for my eyebrows, and considering I don't normally do anything, this bit of the conversation was rather short! Beena then talked me through what she was going to do and then began to tweeze and thread. I'd not really had threading done before, so it took a bit of getting used to, but I managed it! The whole process took about ten minutes and afterwards I was thoroughly impressed, I have two eyebrows and they are perfectly shaped! I can't thank Vicky enough for this recommendation and considering Beena is located less than 2 minutes from my house, I'll be back!

I was recommended to L'erage Beauty ten years ago by my sister who stumbled across it when it was…read morepreviously located in the City Plaza. A decade on, and I haven't found a better waxing salon. They do offer many other treatments such as laser hair removal, nails, facials and massages. Yet I cannot emphasise enough how talented these beauticians are at removing hair so effectively, quickly and painlessly. Obviously waxing hurts (depending on your pain threshold) but these guys have been the least painful to the MANY salons I've tried out. Nikky was my favourite therapist but she has sadly moved on. However, the rest of the team is just as fantastic. The prices are steeper than other places I've been to but it's worth every penny when you know you're getting superb service. They're very hygienic in their waxing implementation, always run on time and have a great loyalty scheme.

This is a little surprise in Liberty Place, and offers a one stop place for any beauty treatment that you may be after, or need help convincing to try! There is nothing that they don't wax, treat, tan, polish, buff, massage, tidy up etc. I felt they have a substantial and good mix of treatments for the modern man. If you just want a facial, a shoulder wax, or want to go the whole hog and book yourself in for an 'Indulgence' experience, they've got it covered. Also note, that some of the package treatments are a good 3-4 hours, so be prepared to be well looked after for what you pay. I noticed they also use the Dermalogica brand, which is well trusted, and a market leader in the beauty industry. You wont be disappointed with this beauty haven. I now know where to go next time I have a hot date. Closed Monday's and Sunday's, open from 10am-9pm Tuesday-Thursday, and late on Fridays, closes at 5.30pm on Saturday's.

They have a sunbed available which is cheaper during the day time if you can get there. I know a few people that go here for spray tans as they use the celebrity tanning products which give a golden look. I however, go here to have bits waxed. The girls are very professional and always do it in the quickest, most painless way possible.. although it still hurts!

They cover colour and cuts, massages, facials, air brush tanning, eyebrows, waxing, special packages, and luxury treatments! I did feel a little embarrassed asking about what they offered for blokes. Maybe because they had a very small reception area next to where waiting clients are sitting, or perhaps because they have an all female staff quota, I just felt that I would have asked a few more questions and got better informed advice if they had a male member of staff who could advise blokes specially. Don't let my experience put you off. They have a good price list which is also competitive, and if you find you need caffeine after, there is a great coffee shop next door.

A loyalty card scheme is offered for eyebrow and waxing treatments only, pay for 7, and your 8th is free. Opening hours are 10am-6pm Monday through to Saturday. Gift vouchers are available, but the company has no website set up yet. I liked this place.

Don't get me wrong, they were good nails, I just preferred my usual style.

Even though in 2010 I moved further into the city, the fact that Jay is now 20 minutes walk for me and yet I still go to see her says everything you need to know. I occasionally have other treatments but as far as the regular wax goes, the time goes so quickly and pleasantly as Jay keeps me talking throughout. She remembers everything I talked about during my last treatment and asks how I'm getting on with all my projects. We also swap movie chat and she listens patiently as I tell her about by travels and my writing. Jay has never been late for me despite always being busy. They offer late appointments and only take cash but there is a cash point right outside.
