A friend of mine recommended we went here to get a bikini wax before we headed over to Ibiza…read more I don't tend to have this treatment done all the time but I decided to treat myself so we booked a couple of appointments the following week. As we walked in, I was literally hyperventilating at the sheer thought of the painful experience I was about to endeavour in. However, the beautician was a real professional and instantly put me at ease. I have to say, I was really impressed with the quality of waxing technique as it didn't hurt nearly half as much as I was expecting. On the way out I noticed that they offer a range of other beauty treatments such as facials and nail manicures so I think I'd be tempted to give them a go next time as well as the waxing.

Ok, I do not feel comfortable talking about a beauty salon and I want to make clear that I'm…read moretalking about my wife's opinion, not mine! Well, she is Brazilian, and as you know, Brazil is famous (besides football and carnival) for female waxing. She is very picky about these things obviously, since in Brazil they do it very well and very cheap. Recently, she went to this place, Musach, to test their Brazilian waxing style. It is not as cheap as in Brazil (£13), but the results were quite similar. The place is very clean and the attendants are very attentive and friendly. For my part, I can also say that I approved the results!

Utopia is, well, pretty much Utopia as far as beauty and tanning in Birmingham is concerned…read more They're a cut about the rest of the beauty salons that I know. Of course, the prices do reflect this, but not too steeply, which is great. They are quite ahead of their time with various treatments as well, which makes you feel like they really are experts in their field. I feel it's time I talked about bikini waxing. Here, it's quite an art form. They even have a little chart that you can look at to see what you want, and all styles have names. I suppose some haircuts have names (the 'bob', the 'pageboy, the 'Rachel') so why not hair in, ahem, other places? They also have Peron Rigot Comfort Hot Wax, which reduces the pain of normal wax. Like I said - a cut about the rest.

This salon always seems busy every time I go in there. It's recognised locally in Harborne as an…read moreestablished beauty salon and from this they enjoy a regular clientele base of people who come in to top up their tan get a manicure. As well as the available sunbeds, they have a few packages available which allow you to pay for a set of treatments; such as full body waxing (perfect if you're going on holiday) at a reduced rate which saves you lots of money whilst you relax and are made beautiful. They sell a lot of the beauty products that they use to do some of the treatments so if you find something that you like it's definitely worth asking if they have them in stock and available to buy.

The wonderful Vicky O recommended Beena to me and after avoiding my eyebrows for a time too long to…read moremention here, I booked an emergency appointment before I was to attend a wedding. Even though I rang at half five on a Friday night to book an appointment, Beena fit me in immediately and I ran straight over. Located within TipTop Photography on the corner of Warstone Lane and Spencer Street, you ascend up a non-descript staircase and into Beena's neutrally designed studio. Beena was incredibly welcoming and the addition of Radio 2 in the background made me feel very relaxed. She asked me what my normal routine was for my eyebrows, and considering I don't normally do anything, this bit of the conversation was rather short! Beena then talked me through what she was going to do and then began to tweeze and thread. I'd not really had threading done before, so it took a bit of getting used to, but I managed it! The whole process took about ten minutes and afterwards I was thoroughly impressed, I have two eyebrows and they are perfectly shaped! I can't thank Vicky enough for this recommendation and considering Beena is located less than 2 minutes from my house, I'll be back!

The treatments are great value for money, there is lots of space in the beauty therapy room, complimentary tea, coffee, water, juice and a nice relaxing environment.

I strolled past Desire Hair & Beauty and was caught by the mention of IPL hair removal. The salon…read moreis owned by Asians so their ethos is to tailor for Black and Asian skin-types, which is limited in the world of laser hair removal! The salon is compact yet offers so much - hairdressing treatments, shellac nails, waxing, massages and even fish pedicures. I like their attention to detail during holidays or festivals, such as the decorations around Christmas and Halloween. I had laser done on my legs. The staff were bubbly and sociable and did all they could to distract me from the awful pain! However, I wasn't convinced they gave comprehensive coverage to the area, which is evident from the square patches left! I also got a manicure and pedicure done, which were not really value for money. I suppose I have tried and tested so many salons that I'm difficult to please! Overall, it's a homely salon that offers virtually all the treatments a girl could ask for from very friendly beauticians.

The lady who did my treatment had been qualified for years and felt very experienced. The massage itself wasn't as hard as I tend to like them but it did relax me and my muscles.
