Situated in the Jubilee Place shopping area at Canary Wharf (closest stations Heron Quays DLR and…read moreCanary Wharf tube), the Molton Brown outlet is a haven where I can only permit myself to go with one crisp £20 note and absolutely no cards at all. The staff used to be snotty and seemed to think they were better than you, but new faces have made it a real pleasure to shop in now. Helpful without being pushy, and very generous with the samples. Best products IMHO, the black pepper shower gel (yes, I know it's supposed to be for blokes, but I love it, so there), and the expensive but utterly necessary candles.

I'm from the…read morestates but go to London quite often and the past two times I've been (in May & January), I went to Pimps & Pinups and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. First of all, it's easy to find, and about a 8-10 minute walk from the tube. It's in East London, which is a great place to go anyway, and is very close to the Spitalfields Market. Inside, the decor is pretty simple- black walls with a neon "Pimps and Pinups" sign, and all the stylist's stations illuminated by flourescant lights. While you wait, you are offered a complimentary drink (or two, or three)- ranging from wine to beer to tea or coffee. I've had both the tea and the red wine, and was pleased with both! I had both Mel the first time, and a lovely red headed girl the second time but I unfortunately can't remember her name. Anyway, both were great! They both listened to exactly what I wanted and followed suit. They were easy to talk to and made the experience relaxing and fun. They play great music inside as well, and the wait for a stylist is very short (or perhaps feels that way with all the wine I was drinking, ha!)

The space that hosts this salon is fabulous, from the mirrors to the chairs. The vibe is completely relaxed and you can tell that the people that work here have a true passion for their job. They always have great music blasting on the speakers and sometimes they even have a live group playing. Rockabilly chic is the style of the day and Pimps and Pinups the masters of the look.

The atmosphere is spot on, with really friendly staff and lots of places to sit and relax while you wait for a nail technician to become available. There is a food and drink area which has a small menu offering cakes, quiches, juice, alcohol, tea and coffee. Unfortunately, you can't book in advance so, unless you arrive at a very quiet time, getting a coffee and flicking through magazines seems to be pretty much part of the experience. The usual prices for nails and hair are quite reasonable, considering that this beauty parlour is run by the same company behind Cowshed. They don't offer a full manicure, so at £10 for a shape and paint (with a free bottle of nail colour to take home) I'd say it's fairly good value if you just want a quick fix. Having nail art will vastly increase the price - especially if you're like me and prefer to have the whole set done - it's £1.50 per nail! My experience was somewhat marred by the sullen attitude of the woman doing my nails. However, I think I was just unlucky, as the other nail technicians seemed really chatty and nice. Don't get me wrong - I'm not expecting for someone to actually feign interest in my day, but a little bit of interaction and friendliness doesn't go amiss! My nail art also looked a bit amateurish, so my advice would be not to bother having nail art - it bumps up the price of your manicure and the options are fairly limited. For a special occasion, or before a big night out, this is a fun place to come with a friend. You could eat lunch or have a coffee depending on the waiting time, and after your treatments you could have a go in the 'selfie studio', which is free to use. Despite its name, I think you'd have to be a bit pathetic and vain to go in there alone!

I seem to have had a totally different experience to the previous two reviewers!…read more Initially I decided to get my hair done there, as I'd just come out of hospital and couldn't figure out how to have a shower without getting my stitches wet. They washed and blow dried my hair brilliantly twice and were charming, helpful, and the whole experience was lovely. After having such a great time with the hair side, I thought I'd get my nails done. I've had two manicures so far, which are just simple polish jobs, but it's been lovely, my technician has given me a little hand massage with each manicure and I've left with perfect nails, and super soft hands (I need to get some of their hand cream...) Did I mention that they let you take the polish home with you?? Yup! You pick your colour and get to take a lovely fresh bottle of gorgeous polish home with you. All for £15! I mean, seriously, how can you not be excited by that?? PS: They definitely do appointments now (a previous reviewer said they didn't)

I have been there for eyebrows threading and think that the lady who is responsible is very skilled. I will stick with her from now on for threading. although I was very satisfied with my visit, I don't think that the ground floor (where service took place) live up to the first floor which has the shop! I also noticed the nail varnishes on display for manicures are not that extensive or up dated. however, I highly recommend Lost in Beauty to anyone who is looking for the best eyebrow shape.

They have also been really helpful in answering queries about their services and the products they stock. I'm returning to try the facials and waxing... Watch this space!

In my humble opinion too expensive but then aren't most good hair dressers?! Now the good stuff, the salon is super cool and the chairs where you get your hair washed so comfy! I've never had a hair cut there I didn't like, which is unusual for me and all of my colours have been lovely! The stylists listen to you but also aren't shy to say what they think won't suit you. All in all a good place to go, but not that often unless your flash for cash!

I recently moved to Peckham Rye and was again on the search for a hairdresser. This seemed a good…read moreplace to start, as I heard that they offer wine with a hair cut. I know ... I should not go to a hairdresser only because they offer booze, but as none of my friends lives in the area I have to start the process somehow. Second point: they gave me an appointment at 8pm, which is great as I normally work until at least 6pm. The shop in itself is very cute in the way its furnished with old dressing tables and old fashioned lamps. Makes it look very hipster. Yes, they over a glass of wine as well as a great service. The hairdresser (sorry, forgot you name love) discussed my style with me and took in comments during cutting it. In the end the cut was a bit too short, but I'm sure it will grow out nicely.

The facade kind of beckoned me in, probably because my friend had begged me not to let her go in there when we were planning to meet for coffee nearby. She can't leave there without a bag of stuff, apparently. I laughed. I was laughing less at her having experienced the place. Agne asked me if I needed help, and I wondered if she could show me how to do a cat eye. She said that appointments had to be booked, and I think they were actually closing anyway. I said it didn't matter and admitted that I was only passing time anyway. For some reason, she decided to make an exception and do a quick job on my eyes. It may have been my bedraggled and exhausted countenance, but I'm not complaining! Not only did she do my eyes, she did my whole face. I can't believe how quickly she transformed me, and she taught me some new tricks - like blending liner upwards to create a smoky eye. I kept staring at my reflection wondering how she'd created the impression of sleep and the reversal of a few years. I wanted to bring her home with me! There was no pushiness. I was asked if I'd like to purchase anything and chose the miraculous concealer. I kind of want everything she used, but will try to hold out and get them bit by bit. I am probably going to have to ask people to keep me out of there now too. Amazing what seeing yourself look not crap can do. Take all my money, Agne and Bobbi Brown!

To be honest I was having quite a busy week and was sitting on the fence as to whether or not to cancel. But at the last minute I decided to treat myself-and I definitely didn't regret it! When I arrived Mario my make-up artist ushered me over to the make-up bench where I was offered some water and we discussed the look I wanted. He was really informative, talking me through each of the products that he used. What's more, he wrote all of the products and colours down on a sheet for me to take home. He actually spent an hour in total doing my makeup, and it looked absolutely amazing! Smokey eyes, flawless skin and subtle nudey lips, which were perfect for my Friday night out. The customer service was fantastic. He was friendly and obviously very talented at what he does. What's more, I was under no obligation to buy any of the products. I recommend this to anyone who is into their makeup and fancies trying out a new look!
