Unfortunately as a recent graduate it was a little out of my price range and too frivolous for someone on a budget. For me however, a leg wax prior to holiday time is a must. Given the unpleasantness of the treatment it was (almost) a pleasant experience. In a calm, clean, quiet salon I was lead to a warmly lit waiting room and offered a drink. The well groomed receptionist and beauticians weren't as aloof as those in other salon despite and my waxer chatted to me all the way through as though we were old friends. The treatment itself was fantastic as the woman explained they use hot wax that they rip off rather than using cloth strips. This makes for a cleaner, easier and (marginally) less painful wax that lasted longer than others I have had. This is a more expensive place than I would usually go but worth it as it was a top quality job. They do give a student discount but I would say this is a place for the people of Edinburgh who have more disposable income than the average student. My plan is to ask for Zen gift vouchers at Christmas and head back for the pomegranate facial!

When i moved to…read moreEdinburgh i was in need of a beauticians initially for my eyebrows to be done and theres quite a few salons in Bruntsfield/Morningside but Zen stood out because of there tasteful appearance and professional reception service. I first booked in for HD Brows which by the way is so worth it. But now i regularly have a sports massage , myriad facial and my hd eyebrows done. It is a bit more expensive than what i usually pay but the service of the receptionist, the beauticians doing the treatment are of such high standard. I now use their products on my face and it is a big difference on my skin. They do block bookings which can save you a bit of money in the long run, student discount and vouchers to purchase. I would definetly recommend this salon if your looking for a real pampering session, they also have branches over in Hanover street and Teviot Place.

I am a seasoned client of several massage and physiotherapy places. I have had quite a range of…read moreOsteopaths and Massage Therapists. Every place has its own group of therapists, some specialise in one area of physical and personal well-being. Active Health has been on my radar for a long time now. I made the step today to pay them a visit. Mainly for one reason: Briana Eades. Back in 2010 she was one of the leading masseuses that was treating my Sciatica and lower back problems. Her approach was novel, personal and very effective. She introduced me to new ways of experiencing Massage Therapy. The Deep Tissue Massage sessions are done with clear expertise and skill. Clearly she does give it her all, but stays bright and joyful throughout! I suspect that Briana has possibly 'used' me to expand her knowledge during my treatment as on her suggestions I was introduced to the G5 Machine (deep tissue) and Manual Lymphatic Draining (a type of massage that helps the lymph nodes drain and is incredible relaxing!) and this only makes her a very versatile member of the Active Health Team. From their website: "Briana is qualified in a number of massage therapy techniques including Remedial, Sports, Deep Tissue, Swedish/Relaxation, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Aromatherapy including Raindrop Technique." She takes detailed notes during the sessions and will adjust the therapy to suit the current need and wants of the client. On arrival I was asked to fill out the personal contact details and the physical issues you need assistance with. Some medical details and insurance details are also asked for. The massage room I had was of an adequate size, heated and no distractions. (well there is some classical music in the background). The table was comfortable and had an warming pad to avoid getting cold. Nice touch. After the initial consultation - as we shared a history it wasn't that long of a chat- we got straight into it. Working on some problem points on my legs and lower back, some tension release around the neck & shoulders and to finish with the Lymphatic Drainage. I felt reborn! I will definitely make another appointment, and as I understand they have evening times available too. This session was an hour and cost £42 - well worth every penny!

Mike is extremely knowledgeable with the anatomy and not only provides you relief for the pain but also explains why the pain was created in the first place, then he provides you with some stretching or warm up exercises that will look to limit the chances of the pain presenting itself again. The level of aftercare is really great and Mike is always in touch to make sure you are feeling ok after a session, and to top it off he's a really good guy with some fantastic stories that really can help in moments of tenderness on the table. Cannot recommend highly enough!!
