Tanned and Toned - doesn't that sound fantastic? Along with a few other beauty extras, this is what…read moreWarwick Street's new salon promises/ offers. Now, I don't normally like stepping into places like this - there are a few other cuprits round here. The main reason is that it associates me with those very fake tanned, thin eyebrowed, fake manicured nail wearing girls some of whom I went to school with. And who I believe to have no other interests other than making themselves look "good." Fortunately when I popped into Tone Tan Tastic I knew it was fine. It looks classier from the outside and is slightly more expensive than the nearest place which offers the same. But trust me its worth it - I went in to use a sunbed which I do basically once or twice every winter, no more. Just to give my skin a perk up, I blame my ex flatmate who used to go to a 50p one all the time. Its friendly, efficient and easy to use in here. I also enquired about their Power Plate exercises - the Tone part. They have 20% off at the moment and it is much cheaper than the studios I went to in London, even without the offer.

I love Tone Tan Tastic,it was brill.All the staff was so nice and very helpful,and answered all my…read morequestions regarding sunbeds,POWER PLATES(i have dropped a dress size in two weeks,use the power plates 3 times a week...i am so amazed its better than going to the gym..only takes 10 mins,which is equivalent to a 1hours exercise at the gym!!!totally addicted.woohoo so friendly and easy going all staff and will do anything to make you feel better!!also i have my waxing done there with other treatments,its all amazing!!!go there all ladies in for a big surprise,its so brill.x

Whenever I mention the Brazilian Waxing Co to my female friends, the reaction is always the same;…read morethey go white, cross their legs and say 'oooph!' It's pretty much a universal reaction amongst the girls, whilst men either stare blankly as if to say 'eh?' or nudge each other and go 'fnurr fnurr! Eh! Eh! Hehehehe!' like excited monkeys. And nine times out of ten, I'm not even talking about this place because of its waxing of down-there hair. You see, despite its fear-inducing name, Brazilian Waxing Co does more than just your ladygarden. I've been coming here since it opened a couple of years ago, for various treatments but one in particular. Eyebrow threading. If you haven't heard of it, or you're not sure what it is, you only need to know three things: one, it's quicker than plucking, and more precise than waxing; two, it lasts longer; and three, it really, really bloody hurts! But it is so worth it; when I'm done with my threading, I look in the mirror and the pain instantly fades; all I can think of is how great my eyebrows look. As any girl will tell you, a good eyebrow lifts the face. The threading treatments I have had here have always been top-notch, excellent value at £7 and I would recommend it as the best place for threading in Manchester. The only place that tops it is a salon I visit when I'm in London. So, if you need your eyebrows done, you know where to go, but what of the rest of their treatments? Well, I'm not gonna go into too much detail for the faint hearted amongst you, but the bikini waxing service is efficient and they try and make you as comfortable as possible. There's no need to be embarrassed, these girls have seen thousands of downstairses, and they'll see thousands more. What makes me slightly uncomfortable is the design of the shop and treatment rooms, which are basically enclosed booths. The walls don't reach all the way to the ceiling, and sound carries pretty well, so it's hard to relax completely. The basic bikini wax is £10, Brazilian £20, and they'll take it all off for £25 (in for a penny, in for a pound, as my wise old nan might say). In terms of what else they wax; pretty much whatever you want. Arms, legs, tummies, chins. And yes, boys, they do offer the back, sack and crack, at an eye-watering (you're not wrong there...) £50. They also do lash and brow tinting for both genders (in case your manscara isn't quite cutting it...) So if you've got unwanted hair, anywhere, get down to Brazilian Waxing Co.

Friendly team and excellent service. Harriet is fast and my gel nails always look fab and last longer than any others I've had in the past. You also get offered a complimentary glass of bubbles which goes down a tear while getting your nails pampered. Gel nails cost £22 with removal of previous set included. I recently had my gels off which is £5 or free with any service, so I opted for a file and polish which cost £8 and lasted literally 10 days before it started to chip. Amazing! You can book online and I would highly recommend Harriet's service for nails. I can't comment on other beauticians as haven't experienced their services.

Conversation with Harriet is never stilted but not too much; she's normal and friendly and down to earth. She doesn't judge me for my low pain threshold and gets the job done quickly and as pain free as possible. It's excellent value for money and a lovely salon too. A very personal service, and you even get a discount in the week running up to and just after your birthday! Couldn't recommend them more!
