GREAT FROM FAR, GREAT FROM START TO FINISH…read more How does one describe perfection? The Beautery does an amazing job from beginning to end. The staff speak English, the space is airy and inviting and the nail technicians are on point. Desperately needed a mani / pedi: as my godson would say my feet looking like I was "playing soccer with rocks", and I had two hangnails that were driving me to distraction Normally, I have a nail job every 2 weeks. I had changed jobs, changed countries, was flying considerable distances for work, renovating a house and clearing out another: let's just say that after months of being hidden away in work boots and woollen socks, the feet had seen better days. Enter The Beautery I was so relaxed, I forgot to give my technician instructions on how I like the nails shaped. I needn't have bothered: not only did my technician complete one foot without me noticing but also rendered the nails to perfection I had to stop working on my computer multiple times to see of the technician had fallen asleep: I could not feel a thing. And the nail job -- EASILY one of the best manicures I've ever enjoyed. If I was being really nitpicky I would mention that the sofa in reception has small stains on it, the little cup of water they offered just felt like an afterthought and the way the foot tub area is designed is awkward for men and taller women. And in the grand scheme of things? I really couldn't give a damn. For service this good, tiny failings aren't even in the equation VERDICT: NEAR PERFECTION ACROSS THE BOARD,

Bea gave me one of the top 3 best massages of my life. I booked the aromatic silom massage (only 65 Euro for an hour), and it was exactly what I needed. Bea took note of the areas in my back and legs that needed the most attention, and made sure to spend more time on them. She checked in with me to make sure the pressure was okay or asked if I needed more. My sore muscles felt so much better during and after. After the massage, Bea set up a sitting area with a pot of delicious tea for me. I took my time and relaxed there, and finished the whole teapot. This was way better than any of the massages I've had during my travels. I wish I could go back every month! Thank you, Bea!

Both treatments were excellent! We had the rose hydrating facial and lomi lomi massage. They give you tea in a relaxation room afterwards. Professional, gracious staff, quiet and serene ambience. Highly recommend!

This beauty center offers everything from hair removal to facials to nail services to body…read moretreatments. This review is specific to their waxing services. This place is easy to miss as it is located above another store. You have to buzz an intercom system that looks quite residential. The interior is bright, clean, and tastefully designed. When I was there, the receptionist spoke minimal English but she was quite patient with my broken Spanish. The waxing rooms are located down the hall far away from the reception and nails area so you have complete privacy. My beautician was Lara who was very friendly. The wax they use here is incredible! It's very thick and velvety. It was by far the most painless waxing session I've ever experienced- and yes it was for everything down there. The price for "pubis sencer del tot" was only 18 euros- a bargain by US standards. Everything on the price list seemed very cheap compared to other places in Barcelona. I highly recommend this place- ask for Lara!

SOLID START, SOLID FINISH…read more The Asians know a lot about massage: Thailand, China, Japan and Indonesia enjoy a wealth of local knowledge on body mechanics, energy systems, and therapy. It's no great surprise then that most of my massages are from these establishments BANGKOK HEALTHY SPA does not disappoint. The receptionist immediately recognized my name and confirmed my appointment time. Another receptionist apologised profusely for the minor delay in the start of my treatment. And, without looking at the reservations book, the receptionist not only knew that I wished a very strong massage but also asked if that was the service I desired or wished to change my mind. Good, solid start. I was a bit wary of the slightly worn slippers provided and chose to keep my socks on and ignore it. There was no tea or beverage station (which is always a thoughtful touch). Anyway, how was the treatment? My therapist was a "savage". She instinctively manipulated problem areas before I could even offer guidance on areas to tackle. The therapist clearly had a gift. The massage was an expertly delivered combination of nail-biting "torture" and soothing massage with stretches. That's good. I left feeling like a million dollars. Even although the spa had closed, no-one rushed me or seemed remotely perturbed that I had taken a little time to rouse from my blissed out state. Admittedly, I was skeptical. I am always circumspect with new facilities. BHS is the real deal and is (mostly) excellent at what they do VERDICT: TWO THUMBS UP! WE WILL BE BADK
