Revive beauty is my local salon, and I am a huge fan. I have been there a number of times, mainly for waxing and occasional manicures. I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, and able to recommend the right treatment for the individual.
Recently I treated myself to a massage after suffering a tension headache for a few days, and was a little sceptical about how good it was going to be before I went along, as the charge was only £22 for 30 minutes. (Cheap compared to well known salons in the city centre where 30 minutes would be around £40-50). Stupidly I thought that the more money you spend, the better the treatment.
How wrong I was! The room the treatment was in was beautifully decorated and smelt divine, with lovely relaxing music being piped through. The massage table was comfortable with a thick, snuggly duvet covering it, which had been pre-warmed somehow before I got into it. Before the massage even started I was already feeling less tense! Then the massage itself melted the knots in my shoulders and neck away leaving me so relaxed.
I will definitely be going back in a couple of weeks for a repeat treatment, even if my back is fine, as the half hour of absolute relaxation and time on my own away from the darling kiddies was so reviving. (Wow, that's the name of the salon! A perfect description in my opinion!) And to know that the cost of such relaxation is half of the price you'd pay in a main stream salon makes it even better.
For all new customers Revive does 20% off your first treatment, so there's an incentive to try it out. And there is also a loyalty card scheme for massage/facial treatments. I hope to fill mine up to get a free treatment down the line at some point! read more
