Since then i have been to other places, although it took a while since the first was such an unpleasant experience. Additional to this the staff seemed unaware that their voices carried in the halls leaving rude comments in the air.

And that's a shame - because it's excellent. Walk through the shop to the back and down the stairs, and you'll find a couple of beauty rooms. I got a warm welcome from Janina, my therapist, who was lovely and friendly throughout. They use lycon hot wax and the rooms are extremely tidy and clean. Therapists wear gloves and there is no dipping the stick back into the wax. The best thing about the set up is that there is a tv in each room where you'll be lying back and watching Sex and the City episodes while your wax takes place. An amazing distraction from the job at hand! The hot wax was quick, about 20 minutes, very painless and thorough. Best of all, it's a complete steal. Cheapest place I've found in London. This place is certainly worth trekking across London for. I am looking forward to going back many times in the future.

This is the best place to come for waxing - as someone who has been getting waxed for almost 10…read moreyears and have gone to a variety of places, it doesn't get better than this. Tracy is an expert and knows what she's doing and is meticulous, friendly, and will make you feel comfortable. I wouldn't really describe hair being pulled out of your nether regions pleasant, nor comfortable, but this is definitely the best experience I've had. I've been here twice and will definitely come back here again on every trip to London. Sugaring is less painful than the hot wax, and is less irritating to the skin and seems to result in less ingrown hairs. After the sugaring, Tracy goes back with a magnifier/light and tweezers to make sure she gets all the strays. You'll almost be wavering between "when is this going to be done?" and "I'm so glad she's so thorough!". You can make an appointment by calling on the phone - I wish they would take appointments online, but it's okay. Cash only (at least for now), which is a bit of a bummer since I try to go cashless and avoid ATM fees, but I bit the bullet and took cash out just to come here. Sugaring is £45 but worth every penny. 5 stars!

Never fails.... best pedicure in the world! (I could end my review here hoping you would just trust…read moreme and try it, but I'm just going to continue to make you jealous.) First when you go into the cozy store, you are surrounded by aromatic smelling candles. Since this is a spa not just a nail store, there is no strong nail salon smell like many of the nail places. Sipping a mug of hot latte or ginger lemon tea, you are then invited to the most comfy sofa (better than most cheesy auto massage chairs). They use only essie products, so you know your nail polish is going to be long lasting. My recommendation is to splurge a little more and get the "Ultimate Pedicure". Not only would you get the world most pampered experience on your toes, you will also get a scalp and shoulder message with aromatic lavender oil or lime oil. Even though the store is a bit on the small side, they have a table at the center for you to sit around and enjoy coffee while waiting for your toes to dry. They recommend you to stay around for 30 minutes before putting your winter boots on. While in Cali, I could easily throw some flip flops on and hop into the car, in london it's not always possible. This becomes a true benefit to be able to sit around and relax and chill. Simply heavenly.... it's a bit tough to make appt as they are always quite full. You can book online on the cowshed website.

This place was listed, I was in the area, so I checked it out. Tiny, crammed little place yet an oasis away from the noise and bustle of the near by shopping streets. Half shop and half spa, the friendly staff took me in and sat me in a large, plush chair while giving me a relaxing pedicure as I sipped champagne. While the manicure area is quite small, on the ground floor with the shop, below is more spa space and they have an extensive list of services. Their shop products suit every mood with names such as 'Knackered Cow' for relaxation or 'Grumpy Cow' for a lift. Fun and fresh, I am especially partial to the seductive mood 'Horny Cow' candles which I think says it all!

It's not the typical sterilised clinics I was used to, but small, cozy and inviting. Both times i received an initial check up by the doctors.

Good location in the heart of Soho!

First of all, I think the advertising and general marketing for this company are awesome. Because I…read moredefinitely feel like an orangutan sometimes :) I started my experience with Strip Ministry at their New York location and it was really excellent. My experience at the London branches has been good too, but they're a little more scruffy. But the actual waxing experience is great. Nothing beats hard wax. The staff can be a little ditzy sometimes, but they're open over the weekend and have been very accommodating so far. It's probably a little more expensive than elsewhere, but given that they're quick, efficient, and straightforward I think it's worth it. They also have some decent packages of 6-8 waxes which take the cost down significantly.

I started with the mud pack. The warm mud was brushed all over and then I was wrapped up for 20 minutes as the minerals were absorbed by the body. After that I was ushered to the shower down the corridor to wash off. Back into the room, I had my waxing treatment. The therapist was no-nonsense and the pain was over in minutes. There was a huge squirt tub of moisturiser in the room, which she directed me to use, whilst she went upstairs to set up for the manicure. My manicure was great. My cuticles were expertly pushed back and trimmed, nails filed and buffed, and I was given some good advice on ensuring my cuticles were kept in good shape. There were various nail colours to choose from and it was handy having a nail dryer on the table to dry one hand, whilst work was being done on the other. Overall an extremely professional and friendly place, which I would recommend, and use myself again in the future.

Ideally, you could just fly from the street directly to the treatment room so that you could avoid the mess in between.
