First of all, I need to point out that New Generation is NOT a hairdresser, it's a nail salon. They do nails, waxing, massages, manicures and pedicures. Right, that's out of the way.
Teddington's New Generation salon is a fairly large (for its type) salon. It usually has three nail technicians on duty (who do, it has to be said, vary in capability, from quick and excellent, to new, non-English speaking and slow) - there are, I believe, six working there in total. They also have a foot spa, and can offer airbrushed nails, hand pattered, acrylic and gel nails - pretty much everything you'd expect.
Upstairs you can be waxed, massaged and generally pampered. Sally, the waxing lady is lovely and does a great job in putting you at your ease (especially given that waxing hurts - and I've only ever had my eyebrows done).
I normally have acrylic infills with painted patterns, and sometimes my eyebrows. My infills with the patterns cost £22, and the eyebrow wax is £9, so it's not cheap.
Despite the variable quality of the technicians, I would still recommend this establishment for people in and around Teddington. In fact, I'm off there this afternoon. read more
