I visited VWSkincare to try the new 'Body & Mind Rewind' session, which includes a full body massage and a facial. Tracey put me right at ease straight away, and made the full body massage and age smart facial treatment feel like it lasted a lot longer than 1hour 45 minutes!. As part of the massage, a hot stone was put on my back, while I had a foot and leg massage. Tracey then moved to my upper back, which I totally needed (with my stress levels!). Tracey really got to the stress knots in my muscles and this was my favourite part of the session. The Age Smart facial was also fab. I had a good consultation before and afterwards, where the therapist talked through my cleansing routine, noted concerns (I got to take home a copy of this) and also gave me advice and Dermalogica product samples to take home. I had my face steamed, cleaned, exfoliated, toned and moisturised, and afterwards my complexion genuinely looked miles better than it has in ages. I really was de-stressed when I left and went home considering when I book in again! Would highly recommend, especially if you are feeling stressed! read more

THE BEST BEAUTICIAN IN EAST LONDON I RECKON! If you're looking for professional skin care and relaxation treatments of the highest order, you really should visit South Woodford's Virginia Williams Skincare Studio (in Grove Hill). At this beauty salon, tucked away on a quiet side street, you will be guaranteed a warm welcome and treatments so good I have found have no equal in East London. I suffer from terrible upper back and neck tension, and I discovered alternating the Virginia Williams 1/2 hour massage with the deep tissue massage on a monthly basis reduced pain, helped me relax and gave me instant results. In addition, she was full of excellent tips for helping to reduce general stress and promote well being. I have also had the mini-facial, which was also incredible: Refreshing, cleansing and relaxing. Virginia Williams did a skin analysis of my face before recommending a course of Dermalogica treatments. I have become a devotee of this regime, and my skin has come on leaps and bounds! read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. I received a minx pedicure here and have never been made to feel so uncomfortable in all my life. I shall NOT be returning due to the rudeness experienced. The hospitality leaves a LOT to be desired. read more

I visited Virginia Williams Skin Care Studio with a view to getting my skin in the best possible condition before my upcoming wedding and i haven't been disappointed. I was made to feel welcome and comfortable from my very first visit and after an in depth skin analysis I was given a comprehensive treatment plan to suit my budget. I was also given advice on products to use at home along with some samples, which i found extremely useful. I've been so pleased with the results so far and would highly recommend Virginia Williams Salon to every woman who wants to look their best on their wedding day and beyond. Now that I've found her and her fab treatments I know I'll be visiting Virginia Williams long after the wedding day is over! read more
