Beauty Queen Cosmetics is an expansive store for people of Afro-Caribbean descent on Stapleton…read moreRoad. It is nevertheless patronised by people of all nationalities and ethnicity, and stocks a phenomenal range of products. Shelf after shelf of beauty products and toiletries stretch from the floor to the ceiling, with everything crammed in so tightly that there's barely room for the aisles. What I like about this store is that if I can't buy something elsewhere, then I can pretty much guarantee that these guys will have it. I also love the fact that I don't recognise over 50% of the products. There are brands here that I've never heard of, and all sorts of stuff that I never even knew existed. Beauty Queen Cosmetics offers the shopper with an anthropological experience as well as the opportunity to indulge in a vanity induced bout of consumerism.

Beauty Queen Cosmetics stocks an amazing variety of hair care commodities and specialises in…read moreAfro-Caribbean hair products. Along with the shampoos and conditioners, you can find a massive selection of styling and moisturising products all at very reasonable prices. They also have a wig boutique and an enormous range of hair extensions. Scarves, scrunchies, dyes, combs and brushes complete the range of just about every conceivable hair product you can imagine. Service is very helpful and friendly.

I hate this store the staff are usually fairly freindly though at best incompetent however nothing…read moreever seems to go well if theres a queue theres usually a couple of staff stood around chatting and the store always seems untidy. my advise stick to boots!!

Superdrug is what it is - which is basically a cheap alternative to Boots. If I know what I am…read morelooking for and I want it cheaper than I've seen it elsewhere, I'll look in Superdrug. I find their stores messier than other pharmacy type shops and not as well laid out as their competitors, but sometimes the prices can't be beaten.

This is only a little branch of Boots so don't expect everything you need to be stocked there. They…read morehave a small scattering of everything but not a great selection of anything. There are a few makeup displays, mainly the cheaper ones like No7, Maybelline, Max Factor etc. bit of hair dye, dental care, facial/body care, first aid stuff and (probably what most people use this branch for) a pharmacy counter where you can collect your prescription and get advice should you need it.

This is another store I go to when I am seeking Christmas or Birthday presents, as far as I know,…read morethis is the only Crabtree & Evelyn in Bristol. Its a great store for picking up beautiful quality smellies which make wonderful presents. I've bought scented hangers as moving gifts from here. They also stock scented drawer liners which was requested as a present and trawled all over until Crabtree & Evelyn came up trumps. Its quite an expensive range of smellies but luxurious and feminine and worth paying the extra pounds for, particularly if treating someone special.

I wish to thank the lovely staff at Victoria's health and beauty salon for the wonderful treatments…read morethat I have recieved today. I have been a regular customer over the years but recently moved to WSM. I have over the past 6 months tried to find a salon near to me that offers the same high level of customer service, professionalism and high standards of treatments that Victoria's salon offers. As a treat I booked myself in for over 3 hours of worth of treatments and pampering. I have had a wonderful day and look forward to see you all next month (as I am coming back....!) nothing in WSM even comes close to your services. Thank you

The pedicure/manicure was just ok, nothing great. This is a beauty service I use regularly. I was…read morenew to Bristol so I was hoping that somehow if I went to this far distant destination I would find nail tech of my dreams or, at least, as good as my previous salon. No luck. The pedicure was very superficial. The salon is pretty and comfortable; pity the service did not match the atmosphere.

This is a large branch of Boots. Most of the times I have shopped here I have been Christmas…read moreShopping and found the experience quite stressful as the shop is packed out with customers and I usually get lost and wander round and round looking for what I want to buy. I usually end up going for the 3 for 2 gifts offer and then finding 5 gifts I want to buy and trying to find something else to buy to qualify for the 3 for 2 offer, what stress! This branch is good though because its has lots of product ranges and it usually has what I want in stock.

This is probably the 2nd best Boots in Bristol if you are looking for most things. The one in…read moreBristol City Centre is older looking inside but it has two floors and I think stocks a bit more stuff. This one stocks a really good range of hair dye so I often come here to see the best possible options. Shame that they don't sell Urban Decay here any more though, not sure what happened there, it seems to be disappearing from many shops! Thankfully though it can be busy, there are normally a good amount of checkouts open and despite the queue looking long, it isn't a long wait.

I…read morelike cycling down to here especially (they have secure hoops outside, which is better than Tesco managed for quite sometime) to have a browse. Much quieter than their town centre branch, and with more space, they have a large make-up and perfume section (no stands from the big guns such as Clinique but they have a selection of Ruby & Millie and Urban Decay). The back of the store has a large pharmacy who are very helpful, and they have a photo processing section as well. The children/baby section is pretty big - not surprising as there are Mamas & Papas and Mothercare big stores next door.

This boots store is huge, they have loads of stock and it's great for all your everyday toiletries…read more However, the one thing I want to make a point of is the fact that they don't sell any high brand make-up like most boots stores. For example, there is no Estee Lauder, Clinique or Lancome... the only make-up they offer are the high street brands. The store itself though is pretty good if you're not after these brands, otherwise head to the one in Broadmead. This branch is located literally a stones throw away from the big Tesco, so it's handy to pop round to if you cant get what you need there. Eastgate also has quite a lot to offer in terms of big retail stores, and parking is free which is always a bonus. There's a couple of restaurants there too if you want to grab some grub!
