Lextan is your one-stop shop for all things beauty in Cardiff's city centre. Although my tanning…read moredays are long gone (I'm surprised I still have skin with the amount of sun and fake sun worshipping I've done), I still appreciate a collection of quality sun beds when I see them. Lextan have three different models here, in addition to a range of other beauty services such as Swedish and deep tissue massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing, eyelash perms, extensions and tints, and even ear piercing. The draw for me is the Dermalogica range used in their facial treatments; it's also worth mentioning that the therapists at Lextan also carry out a free face mapping skin analysis, where your face is split into 14 zones to target any skin problems or concerns you have. I am coming back to try this, mark my words.

Gail owns the shop and has been a friend of my mum's for years. On the rare occasions when I do use a sunbed, this is one of the only places I go. I tend to buy a block of minutes for about £20 and use them sporadically and I know other people that do this and it's totally fine. Gail keeps a tally of how much you've used and how much you have left. She does advise you well on using the beds (most of which are standing) and won't allow you to use a dangerous amount of minutes. If you're a bigger fan of the fake bake then the salon also offers a spray tanning service for around £15.

It's not just tanning that they do they also offer other beauty treatments such as waxing, nail beautician and massages etc. Behind the counter they also have a range of there products and creams that you can buy. I use the tanning machines quite often and I find they are all very decent and well looked after. The price is average. The staff are very friendly I find the salon looks very modern and trendy with a nice leather sofa for you to sit on if you are waiting.

For £15 you can get blasted with a hose full of brown dye and be on your way within half an hour. One of the women there asks me how my job interview went every time I go there and I don't have the heart to tell her that she's probably mistaken me for another girl. Still, she maintains eye contact when I'm in the nude and has probably seen me naked more than anyone else has in the last few months. All the girls at Bodywise are sweet, friendly and easy to chat to when you're having your treatments. They will also do their best to accomodate you if you're in dire need of a tan/wax/tint. As if you needed any more convincing, at some point last September my best friend burst in with yeti legs and and an unruly bikini line and swears blind she had the quickest and least painful waxing of her life.

The Tanning Shop is in the centre of Bath which means you have to pay for parking if you're just…read morepopping in but other than that there are no negatives. There are 6 stand up beds and 2 lie downs, it's adviseable to book at peak times like lunch or after work but you rarely have to wait more than 10 minutes for a bed. The staff are professional and friendly, and are well informed of all the latest offers. They also do spray tans which I've never had but have heard are well done and look good. The offers are sometimes very attractive with 3 for 2 deals etc, and deals including lotion and free minutes which makes your tan last longer. Very clean and hygenic, the staff always prepare each bed for the new user.

I went in here one summer to try out the tanning booths for a trial for my wedding. There were…read morequite a few boothes and it was quite busy, but the tan itself only took 60 seconds. You stand on a marker and press a button and spray starts from your feet and works up. You have to hold your breath unless you want to inhale it, I cant imagine its that good for you! and then you turn around and it comes on again. Its quite noisy and makes you jump but the end result it great, very natural looking with no streaks.

Sun tanning is one of those easily unnecessary businesses. Unmanned as it is makes it not friendly,…read morethe age restriction means nothing when there isn't someone in there to stop underage people using the facilities. Sun beds can be potentially a risk to skin damage and its always best to use the sun beds for short durations with adequate sun cream and goggles, that being said there's no reason not to come back many times as the price is very low so spread the time to get a tan out over a week or two and don't be tempted to overdo it as your skin won't forgive you for it. The equipment is as good as Supersun so it's a toss up between the two.

I used enjoy my regular little tanning sessions even though I knew there was a risk of skin cancer. Do you know what put me off? When a friend of mine inquired why I looked tanned. Of course I didn't mention I went to a sunbed centre as I am ashamed out this guilty pleasure. In the end she wouldn't let it go so I had to admit it. Then she said this...... , "We have those Consol Suncentres in Bristol. They had to start closing thme early becasue the local prostitutes were using them with their clients". That put me off. Having said that I have been back but this time I wash the bed down about 10 times before I get on it.

Apparently, this place provides us with 'the modern way to tan', yet every person who emerges from the place seems to have got totally carried away, so that they glow artificially orange. Still, if sunbeds are your thing, it's very accessible, open every day of the week from 7am in the morning until 9pm in the evening, and with no appointment necessary (since you pop your own coin into the slot to get things started) - and with their 'pay as you go' system costing from just 30p per minute, it's also very cheap.

Well, where do I start? Partner wanted to start getting his back waxed professionally after I did…read moreit once for him at home during lockdown (but it took me far too long and was rather messy). On 25th March, I made a booking via their website for 8th May at 11am. On 7th May Danielle messaged my partner and asked if he could come in later for his appt at 2.15pm as she would be on her own during the morning. No problems we thought and accepted the change of time. 8th May, partner went for his back wax, all went ok. He was also booked in for a chest wax straight after, if the hair was long enough. Danielle did a test area but told him it was still too short and arranged for him to come back the following Sat 15th May at 11am. The morning of the 15th May, Danielle sends a text saying she was cancelling his appt as she wasnt feeling well and needed to go for a Covid test. Although an inconvenience, we accepted things like this happen and agreed to rebook. Danielle telephoned later that day and a 2nd booking was made for Sat 22nd May at 10.30am. The day before, I receive a call from Danielle saying they wouldn't be opening the salon now on 22nd because her colleague Rebecca had had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and still wasnt well enough to return to work and it was her that my partner had been booked in with. I asked why Danielle had called me and not my partner directly and she said she'd "tried calling but couldn't get through". I explained partner was working and most probably driving, however when I asked him about it all later that evening he'd had NO missed calls from her or anyone at the salon and no texts. So this was a lie. I begrudgingly agreed to move his appt yet again to today, 27th May at 10am. She stated Rebecca would be doing it and "put it all in the diary" during our phone call that evening (which I have a recording of on my phone of Danielle saying this!!). This was now the 3rd date we had booked with Beauty Basics. I thought it was odd that someone who has just had major abdominal surgery would be returning to work so soon but gave her the benefit of the doubt, despite knowing that the general rule of thumb with such surgery is that you are generally out of action unable to work/lift anything/ drive for 6+ weeks while the body heals. So...today arrives. Partner goes down for 10am and was told "the booking wasnt in the diary". Hmm, this is strange as I'm certain Danielle wrote it in the diary during our call on 21st May . Partner is apologised to for god knows the umpteenth time and asked to come back in an hour... strange that, as we were told Rebecca was booked in to do the treatment. By this point he *politely* told them he'd specifically taken the rest of the day off work to come in and have his appointment and to just forget it. With that he turned round and walked out...still fuzzy and no closer to getting his chest done. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, LIE ABOUT TRYING TO CALL YOU, CHANGE PEOPLES APPOINTMENTS WITH NO CARE IN THE WORLD. Partner thinks that they just couldn't be bothered to do it. Have now made a new appt with a different company who sound a lot more professional in their approach to their clients than Beauty Basics does. And judging by the other number of 1* reviews on here I can see why clients have taken their business elsewhere. I would never have booked my partner in here knowing the owner Rebecca doesnt have any public liability insurance which another misfortunate client sadly discovered & made clear in her also, 1* review. Place should be shut down. Not fit for purpose from other clients experiences.

It's a very stressful place, the owner doesn't even try to act happy, no customer service at all.
