For me, there are salons for everyday maintenance treatments which stop me looking…read moreactually scary (we're talking taming the monobrow and filing down the trotters) and then there are spas like Aura. Aura is one of the most luxe spas I have been to and I loved every minute of it. I had booked a Luxury Spa Pedicure which turned out to be 45 minutes and £40 pounds worth of heaven on earth. Even though I was there for a relatively short treatment (you can spend the whole day there, what bliss), I was shown to the very swish changing room and invited to put on one of those thick perfectly white bath robes that people embarrass themselves by stealing from five star hotels. I was then shown to the pedicure chair which was attached to a footbath which had, I kid you not, flowers floating in it. I then spent 10 minutes with my feet in delish smelling hot water, flicking through celeb mags and generally congratulating myself on my good fortune. Next my feet were anointed with some very expensive lotion and then my nails were filed and polished to perfection. I had somewhere else to be afterwards but had I had time I could have spent as long a s I wanted in the lounge area sipping tea or fruit juice and reading more glossies. Aura is not a cheap place to while away the hours but boy is it worth it. They do gift vouchers so start perfecting the art of dropping hints!

Or when he had to go to the bathroom. Twice. As well as being staffed by lovely therapists, this salon is beautifully fitted out and feels quite luxurious and I love that they open late four nights a week. Unusually for Belfast, Beauty Culture also opens on Sundays which is great for busy professionals and yummy mummies alike. An eye bow wax is priced at £8.50 which is heading towards expensive but the standard of the salon reflects that. I've also had a back, neck and shoulder massage which was 20 minutes of blissful pampering and took the tension out of even my bunched up shoulders. The massage table is a beautifully comfortable leather one and warm towels were used to keep the unexposed bits of me warm. I really didn't want to leave and was so chilled out that I didn't even shout at the children, husband or dog for the rest of the day. What a result! Now I'm saving for the eyelash extensions at a slightly more eye watering £80. I think they're a must have for summer!

The treatments aren't cheap, but I suppose it's about average for a salon of this standard. However, they run a loyalty scheme, and it's easy to rack up money off future treatments.

First time at this salon yesterday and it most definitely won't be the last…read more I was looked after by one of the co-owners, a really lovely girl called Tracy. I had gel overlays done on both my finger and toe nails and it was a very pleasant experience. So pleasant in fact that I was late for the school run as Tracy and I chatted so much. Sorry kids. Tracy did an excellent job of tidying up my messy cuticles on both hands and trotters and then did my gels in a lovely dark dark purple. Sometimes the gel can be a little smudgy around the edges of the nail, but not when Tracy does it. After the relaxing nails bit came the pain factor - an eyebrow wax. I must say Tracy kept the pain to a minimum and applied a very soothing cream afterwards. Then the bit which I expected to be the most painful - paying the bill. The prices at BT4 are very reasonable to start with - a full £10 cheaper for finger nails than my usual salon. And get this - Tracy gave me a 15% discount as a first time customer!! So the bit I expected to be most painful was actually the best bit! I will most definitely go back to BT4 and would totally recommend it. It's not the most luxurious salon you will find in Belfast but with customer service and prices like I got yesterday, it is fab. One last note - when you have gone in the door off the street, you will have to go through a metal gate, which is unusual to say the least. I was a little taken aback and I'm not sure why it's there, but please don't let it put you off!!

I got a different girl for the nails called tricia and she was just as nice as the girl i had the week before the nails were great perfect shape and they even lasted just as long as nails inc 4 weeks so needless to say i have returned for my nails and saved my self a forture. there is always special offers on and the girls have converted my from decleore to dermalogica products. the girls are so friendly and do go the extra mile. i was slightly confussed when first arriving about the cast iron gate the greeted me but i asked the girls why it was there and they happily explained :D it is there for a gud reason as all things always are. would deffinetly recomment and will be trying other treatments in the future so will keep everyone posted on how they go.

Tucked away at the back of the lower ground floor of House of Fraser, the Clarins spa is ab fab…read moredarling! I started to use this salon when my lovely husband gave me a gift voucher for Christmas and once the voucher ran out I liked it so much I began forking out actual cash. My favourite treatment is the fake tan application. Unlike most salons which use cold spray tan machines, the Clarins girls, who are all really friendly, use a tan which has to be rubbed in. The good news is that they do so carefully and slowly so you actually feel like you're getting a massage in the process. The other benefit of this kind of tan is that you get a really natural colour and no-one will use the 'hilarious' line 'Have you been tangoed?' Something else I noticed is that these therapists are super professional, asking all about allergies and reactions and giving clear instructions about how to look after your skin after a treatment. Despite the spa's location in the upmarket House of Fraser, prices are competitive, for example £8 for an eyebrow wax and so it's pretty busy. If I had to talk about a drawback to the spa's location, I would mention the one and only time I have had a pedicure and toenail polish there. Not being forward thinking enough to bring along a pair of flip flops or sandals for going home in , I had to walk through the store to the car park in my smart work clothes and a pair of paper flip flops. Sooo not a good look sweetie, but a lesson learned!

This city centre salon is just around the corner from where I work and I love the fact that I can…read morego at lunchtime for a quick eyebrow wax and go straight back to work with only minimal redness above my eyes which my glasses can pretty much hide. The therapists here are such experts that they can somehow do a waxing more gently but just as efficiently so that you don't look like you have been in some sort of fisticuffs brawl during your lunch break! I also had the file and paint done on my finger nails before a big night out. There is a huge range of colours and I managed to get almost a week out of the polish which is longer than usual and a good price at £11. A little bit of indulgence for just over a tenner works for me. Another plus is that you can choose the treatment you want and book and appointment on line and the girls will do their very best to give you that time slot. I also have to confess that a have just started using the 'Boob Tube'!!! It's not some kind of top but a cream which promises to keep me heading north. I live in hope.
