Revival Retreat, sitting in the heart of Byres Road thoroughfare, sweeps you off the throng of the street and leaves you feeling very pampered indeed!
Granted, it's been a while since I've been able to get my usual done here. I used to go in for laser hair removal (too much info, I'm sorry) and I'm not going to lie - it's not a painless procedure. However, the staff at the time made me feel at home, playing out panpipe music in the background and talking in soothing voices - it makes the process a bit more bearable. And by no means is it a traumatising experience - it's manageable pain and over in microseconds. It was really effective when I was getting it done and I'd highly recommend it.
Revival Retreat specialise in modern beauty technologies such as laser hair and scar removal, and brings Botox to the high street without an element of taboo. It's great that they reduce these stereotypically Hollywood endorsed beauty therapies to a level within your price range but it's still expensive. I would argue, however, that what with the staff and the great selection available to you that you are paying for fantastic quality of service.
Even though i can barely afford an eyebrow wax these days and have to leave such matters in my own dangerous hands, waxings are all very affordable here and carried out in a very relaxing, hygienic and friendly environment. Moreover, the prices haven't been changed since the recession so kudo's to Revival Retreat for keeping their high class treatments at low prices. It is a salon of classy, contemporary quality with down to earth staff and definitely worth a visit before your summer holiday or wedding. read more
