I popped in looking for a Dr. Seabagh foaming cleanser as Space NK are one of the only stockists in Scotland, they don't stock it here but they do have it in the concession store. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a friendly shop assistant who helped me with my enquiry so top marks for customer service it's just a shame that this branch seems strangely empty. They do have a good range of Laura Mercier products and NARS cosmetics but I guess it wasn't much constellation as they weren't what I was looking for. Space NK have also started stocking new "Lime Crime" lipsticks and come in a whole range of vibrant colours from fuchsia pink to black and are £14 a pop... I'm not so sure how I feel about black lipstick though. The store is very organised and fresh and if they don't have what you're looking for pop along to the Space NK in Harvey Nick's, you might be lucky.

The staff look model perfect and effortlessly sophisticated; my skin becomes dull and shiny, and my clothes feel tatty and cheap in comparison (sob). However, these pretty ladies can never do enough to help me on my unattainable quest for clear, wrinkle free skin. I figure their perfection is all a ploy to make you want to buy things, for this is a shop that sells dreams - you too can look fresh faced and youthful if you've got a spare £200 to spend on lotions and potions. I fall for it hook, line and sinker every time.

I came in to get some lip balm due to suffering from chapped lips, I was able to find what I was looking for, and the staff seemed friendly with fast service at the checkouts, and help to find the product I was looking for. (Impressive as the checkout area was only small, given the size of the store and the fact there are no self-service checkouts) As a small store, the selection is limited but is decently stocked given their size. Due to the size of the store, the facilities are limited compared to what one would expect from Boots, and offers the bare minimum, while also shutting earlier than other nearby locations, at 6 pm. 3* - OK, good location but much better pharmacies nearby from Boots and rival brands.

She recommended some muscle relaxers and some gels for my back. Also things you can't get in the US. I wish we had these types of stores here in the states.

They did the first part fine and then proceeded to pack it before confirming with me if I wanted anything additional added, which I did. She then had to unpack the bottle and engrave a different part. While this was happening I mentioned about the included key ring and she said she had already added it to the bottle without even checking it with me first. I might of wanted a different letter... and then to further my disappointment the gift box machine that adds personal messages was out of order.

This review is for their threading service…read more I stumbled upon this place and was happy to find a threading spot. It was quick and easy as you pay upfront before sitting on one of the chairs. The process was good, quick, and efficient for £8. I also liked that they accept credit card, which is always a plus in my book. Do note that it can be a bit awkward that the threading salon is in an open space as people are shopping, but it's the least of your worries.

She's only at Stockbridge a couple of days a week, Tuesday (9am-1pm), Wednesday (5.30pm-9.30pm) and works out of Balance Physiotherapy. She is up at Davidson's Mains on Quality Street, Thursday (2pm-8pm), Friday (1.30pm-4.30pm). So her hours are a little sporadic, but with 2 'after work' evening options across town. Katie is lovely and made me feel comfortable and at ease straight away. The room in Balanced Physiotherapy is small but cosy, though I could hear the mat pilates class going on in the studio outside, but I ended up falling asleep anyways so it obviously didn't bother me too much! I would highly recommend Katie and can't wait to find time to book another massage!

For starters, if you're anything ore than a size zero you'll need to hold your breath in as you sidestep dow the ridiculously small aisles, otherwise you risk knocking everything off. And if the thing you're looking for is on any other shelf than the top one, forget it. That was annoying enough, but when I finally did find the hairbrush section the only one that looke vaguely like what I wante was nearly £10. Not a chance, Sally. Instead, I went to Boots further along the street and got a much better one for £2. And I can't say I'll ever rush back to Sally again.
