Three days after the procedure with dr. Kyriakides, the bandages came off and I was so relieved to see only some bruising and that those horrible gnarled veins had gone. I can now wear what I want and I am actually quite proud of my legs.

The surgery itself was trouble free, the hospital stay, like a hotel, the results perfect and my life changed. A huge Thank You.

Can't emphasize enough how lovely the staff were they made me feel very welcome and relaxed.

My first ever trip to get my nails done and have a facial was with Agadir Spa. Despite it being…read morevery local to me, I hadn't even heard of this little Turkish/Moroccan Spa in the Big Peg complex. It wasn't until I was having a mooch on one of the various voucher sites that I spotted it and thought I would give it a go before I was due to go on a business trip. First off, they can be a bit of a nightmare to get hold of. I ended up emailing and calling several times before I was able to confirm my appointment, but no harm done; I got there eventually. I would recommend using the mobile number which is on their website if you are having problems using the landline. From the outside, it isn't anything special. Saying that, the Big Peg Complex isn't particularly posh - so this was totally fine. Inside is a little warren of different rooms for different treatment purposes. Once I had gotten in and been given a warm welcome, I was guided to their reception room. This was jauntily decorated in the Moroccan Style with colourful blankets, decorations and adornments and knick-knacks put carefully around the room. I was seen to within minutes of this and led to a second, bigger room for my manicure. The owner of Agadir was so friendly and chatty that we were laughing within minutes of me sitting down. My hands were washed, cuticles sculpted, fingers massaged and nails filed to perfection. I was a little disappointed as I assumed I would be getting polish (rather than a clear protector), but regardless of this my nails now look a lot better than before. The facial was really lovely! The products used are all natural and smell amazing. I laid down and let the therapist do her thing in scrubbing and massaging away the impurities in my skin. Once the mud mask was applied I was left a reasonable amount of time to let it dry and relax. I was given some gorgeous fragrant turkish tea and biscuits in between treatments too, which added to the relaxing atmosphere and pampering. As an extra, I ended up getting my eyebrows done too. This was done via a combination of threading, plucking and sculpting (and they now look great) for £6. I would give it 3.5 if I could (mainly due to not having nail varnish), but it's worth a visit just for the friendly staff, attentive service and delicious tea.

I had a very bad experience here. I would rate zero stars so as not to recommend at all but it's…read morenot possible. I found the service terrible. I had to wait an hour to be seen, I paid for 60 minute treatment and only received 35 minutes. The treatment was rushed, was harsh and unhygienic. I came out with spots and rashes as a result and ended up having to use a steroid cream and antihistamines for days after. The sponges and brushes etc are not sterilised. The place does not give a relaxing ambience at all. Shame really. The lady was not very talkative and I found her giving her male clients a lot more attention on the day. While I was left alone for long periods of time. I hated the experience and certainly will not be going again. I was very disappointed.
