Calla Beauty is a fabulous little beauty parlour in Clarkston. I came here last summer to get my…read moreeyebrows and legs waxed to get me in the summer mode and I wasn't disappointed. I'd never had my legs waxed before shaving always seems like much less hassle and a pain free option which certainly always seems the best but it's true what they say - no pain no gain. The girl who was doing my treatments was really friendly and I was really pleased with the shape that she got my eyebrows, I've been to beauticians before and they just make you look like you've got a couple of skinny caterpillars but she just gave me a nice shape following the natural shape of my eyebrows. As for my legs, they weren't half as painful as I'd have imagined and the torture was over quite quickly thank goodness! After the treatments the girl applied some nice soothing lotion that also smelled lovely too. From the outside this place looks absolutely tiny, but this is quite deceiving as inside you will find the receptions area and a longish hallway which leads to the nail room and two beauty rooms. As well as beauty treatments there are also more relaxing treatments on offer such as facials, Indian head massage and hot stones massage. After looking at the prices they seemed very reasonable and much cheaper than some other beauticians. The clean, modern and fresh layout of the salon is really appealing and when I feel like treating myself I will definitely head down here for some relaxation. As well as splashing out on yourself this place is also fabulous for gift ideas. Who doesn't love receiving a massage voucher for a present? One of my friends always get her nails done here, and they aren't cheap at £40 each time so I usually chip in with a friend to get her this treatment for Christmas and birthdays, she always appreciates it as it's something she always gets done anyway. I can definitely recommend this little beauticians, it's great.

It might be more expensive than most spas and massage centres, but the Medespa in Shawlands offers…read morea relaxing, sophisticated atmosphere and is staffed by polite and professional beauticians. The massages are good- rather on the efficient than luxurious side, but they have a good range of approaches, as well as having excellent cosmetic advisers. The best thing about this spa is the ambiance: soft lighting, discreet rooms, a sense of well-being is immediately conjured upon entry. It is usually easy to book for a session on the same day, and the staff are more than willing to give great advice.

Good deal on 5PM for cut and 1/2 head of highlights for 42GBP. This is one of those wee salons…read morewith questionable signage that usually I'm unwilling to take a chance on. But my hair was getting tragic just as my monthly wage was reduced to statutory maternity pay, so I took a gamble on this salon, which had a great price and good reviews. Well, the gamble paid off. The staff were really friendly, with frequent cups of tea or coffee on the go for whomever wanted one. Jennifer, who cut my hair, was personable and more importantly, competent at cutting curly hair. She cleaned up my mane and listened when I asked for more to be taken off the bottom. The only quibbles I have are that Jennifer overbooked herself--she had four women on the go while I was there so my cut and colour took three hours when it really didn't need to. Also, she looked like she had just rolled out of bed after a night of heavy drinking...and it was two in the afternoon. When you go to get a haircut, you want your stylist to look sharp. That being said, she did get the job done but if I hadn't pre-paid for the cut I probably would have turned around and gone home upon seeing her.
