Its a fairly small salon but the space…read morehas been used well, giving a comfortably and relaxing area in which to have your treatment. I came here for a mani and pedi courtesy of GroupOn. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with just the right level of chat. I chose my colour from the selection of Opi polishes and the lady set to work on my hands first. I was pleased with the shape and the painting of my nails, something that can sometimes be a little hit and miss. For the pedicure I was placed in the most amazing massage chair. Not the type I have experienced before that just gently vibrates. This was was like receiving a proper massage, I almost fell asleep! Again, the pedicure was great, the dry skin scraped away from my feet by a cheese grater-like instrument! My only complaint would be that the cuticle removal was quite painful on both my fingers and toes. I was offered drinks while I waited and there were plenty of magazines to peruse. I would definitely consider coming back here in the future, with or without a voucher. Other treatments on offer include facials, waxing, massage and reflexology.

The premises are nicely decorated, the staff are friendly, and there is a good selection of treatments. I had the one-hour deep tissue massage, and it was delivered expertly and professionally. It certainly eased my hangover! I walked out feeling like all was right with the world once more.

Tucked away, down a little alley, you might think that Shine is hiding its light under a bushel…read more Shine is a beauty, hair and pampering salon in North Laine that has got a great reputation and is thriving despite the downturn. Ladies who lunch still need to look good, it seems. Not a usual environment, I won a haircut at Shine in a raffle. The whole Shine experience is about relaxation. Big comfy chars, a farmhouse table loaded with newspapers and mags and a laid-back ambience make this a very genial little place. Best of all, noone is peering through the window as you're groomed. So after a relaxing head and shoulder massage, an opulent hair wash, and a cup of coffee, my stylist Charles, got down to business. What a nice guy. An Isle of White native, he actually cared more about my hair than I do and suggested all sort of clever styles and looks that would make me look fabulous. I've got to say, being no expert on such things, he did a cracking job. But let's be honest. This place is a bit of a treat. A luxury most of us can ill afford. I think my do would have cost something like £50. That's par for the course, it was a lovely experience, but regrettably out of reach for me on my everyday budget.

Having been to Shine twice in November 2010, the 2nd time being a freebie to try to salvage the…read moreprevious disastrous result! Can't recall my hairdresser's name but he was one of the older guys that work there. He didn't listen to my original request, I went there with my hair in a terrible condition... I wanted an interesting colour technique, instead my hair came out looking brassy and with a discernible dark bar where he'd not quite matched the root highlights to the rest of my hair. The initial cost of £140 completely stunned me, normally I wouldn't complain but at that price I expect excellence. To give the salon their due, they offered to redo my hair FoC, but unfortunately it was with the same guy, again, he didn't really listen to me and seemed to bluff his way out of the bodge-up. I left the salon still unhappy, but couldn't be bothered to take it any further. My story is too long to detail here. It's now Jan 2011 and so reluctant to go to get my roots done because in my experience of Brighton hairdressers I just can't find a fabulous colourist, it doesn't matter how little or how much I pay. PS I had to give 1 star for this review, I suppose the one star would go the the Aveda hair products they use in Shine, they certainly resstored the condition. But the salon itself is awful, no towels to wrap around your head after washing, only something that looks and feels like a dishrag. Their LED/fluorescent lighting is useless especially to judge hair colour under. I'm all for 'green' businesses... but hair salons need bright, clean and flattering lighting. PS If my profile pic is the one with pink hair..... it's a wig!!! Wish my hair looked that good lol!!!
