I've used Laura for a couple of years now. At first it was all about the convenience and the ease…read moreof having someone travel to me, when I was short on time and needed a treatment, but now I only use Laura for my facials and specialist beauty. Laura is always flexible and reliable, fitting in appointments around my schedule and coming out to me in Ealing, or to a friends place, depending on where I'm staying. Not only was I thrilled with the end results, but the price was great too. Would certainly recommend Laura's Mobile Beauty Treats to anyone who wants to bypass a salon.

I was looking for a last minute beauty treatment in East Sheen area and came across Laura mobile…read morebeauty treats website. Laura was easily reachable over the phone, very flexible time wise and I got the last minute appointment with her in the afternoon. I have to say that I had few beauty therapists over last few years that did various waxing treatments for me: Laura `s treatment (hollywood) was the quickies and least painful (actually not much pain at all) from all of them. Laura is very easily approachable, friendly and she makes you feel at easy. I will very happily use her service again.

I went to the Tanning Shop on Notting Hill Gate for a spray tan. I opted for dark with an…read moreaccelerator. I showered about 6 hours after having it done (recommended minimum with accelerator is 4 hours) I had absolutely no tan at all apart from a little on my arms and chest. I called the next day and asked for the manager. She told me that they don't do refunds and to call customer services. I asked for the number which she said she didn't have!!! I emailed as I couldn't find a number online. They have been emailing back and forth about what shower gel I must have used for the tan not to take. I have done this tanning system (mystic tan) many many times at Heidi Klein and it works great on me. Either something is wrong with their machine or someone didn't put the colour cartridge in correctly. Again they said they don't do refunds and offered me another tan. I don't live in London so I don't want another tan and I don't want to waste time going there anyway. I'm now on holiday and ghostly white! and they won't even give me my £15 back. What a crap place! Give it a miss.

I often book a bikini wax fairly last minute and they try to accommodate where possible. I'm in and out within 5mins hardly noticing a thing. Also friendly service and chatty staff.

Odd behaviour from the waxer, inappropriate touching when I had a bikini wax done. Unfortunately it…read morewas my first wax so i was unaware that it was irregular. Since then i have been to other places, although it took a while since the first was such an unpleasant experience. Additional to this the staff seemed unaware that their voices carried in the halls leaving rude comments in the air. Wax was decently fast, but as i say highly unprofessional behaviour from the staff. May be due to the location? But still unwanted, unconsentual touching!

Not sure why others claim the waxing at Strip is 'painless'. It is true that strip wax is…read moremarginally less painful than normal waxing but, let's face it, waxing is- and will never be- pain free. That said, if I must put myself through torture there is no better place to do so (although Ministry of Waxing on South Molton St is comparable). The rooms are all individually decorated and the place has nice, thoughtful touches like sanitary products in the loo and baby wipes in the rooms. I've been using Strip since it opened over three years ago and I've almost never had the same therapist (admittedly, I've never asked for the same girl as I'm not good with names!) The skills and attention to 'wax detail' varies a lot so if you find a therapist who does a good job, I'd ask for her by name the next time you book and appointment. It's not very cheap. I'm on a second set of a courses (from memory, buy six, pay for five) but once the course I'm on is done I won't be getting another one. The thing I liked (note past tense) was that one could use the course at any of the branches. Since Strip has expanded into the City and West End, however, they've stopped allowing courses to be used across branches which makes it much less convenient for me as I liked to have the choice of going to a branch near home or near work. I believe this is because the branches are franchised out. But, honestly, should that be the customer's problem??
