The salon offers a range of treatments including St Tropez Spray Tans, Gel Manicures, Nail Wraps, Blow Drys, Colours, Cuts and (among others) Hair Extensions. Upon my last visit I opted for a Blow Wave and 'Colour Tip Nail Extensions' - both of which in total took 2 hours.

Yes we all know sunbeds are bad but you can't really deny the feeling of stepping out of the cold…read moremiserable British weather and into the warmth of a big tube filled with UV light. Gail owns the shop and has been a friend of my mum's for years. On the rare occasions when I do use a sunbed, this is one of the only places I go. I tend to buy a block of minutes for about £20 and use them sporadically and I know other people that do this and it's totally fine. Gail keeps a tally of how much you've used and how much you have left. She does advise you well on using the beds (most of which are standing) and won't allow you to use a dangerous amount of minutes. If you're a bigger fan of the fake bake then the salon also offers a spray tanning service for around £15.

This is a small salon the the outskirts of the city centre. Here you can get teeth whitened, hair…read moreremoved and everything else you might expect, as well as a haircut. Good prices, but not the most lavish of surroundings. This is a small and comfortable spa/salon situated in the Canton area of Cardiff, under a mile from the centre of town. It's a bit of a one-stop-shop for all your salon needs, as they have a massive variety of treatments to choose from. Facials, manicures, hair cut, hair colouring waxing... The staff here are very lovely and, importantly, well qualified in their fields of expertise. You really get the impression that they know what they're talking about, and that was only when I went in for a price list. They also have a range of products and gifts on sale, as well as vouchers available if you wanted to treat someone to a relaxing afternoon (or if you know someone with an uno-brow, who just won't take the hint.)

If you're looking to buy a gift for the new mother in your life, Beauty in the Park boasts a pre and post natal face and body treatment, which I reckon beats out a breast pump or bottle of bubbly any day. This treatment claims to "ensure your comfort and well-being from three months through to early motherhood with specially designed massage movements to ease muscular aches and reduce water retention as to maintain good skin tone." Beauty in the Park also offers a "Ladies Night In" package, where you and your closest girly mates can enjoy a range of treatments, wine, juice, nibbles and a chocolate fondue with fruit (all robes and slippers are supplied for the evening). The cost is £50 per person, with a minimum of five people participating.

Cowbridge Road East isn't necessarily the first place that would spring to mind if I was after a…read morebeauty treatment, but now Ridhi's Beauty has appeared you can actually get a wide range of treatments here - from pre-holiday waxes (full legs £17), body exfoliation, manicures and pedicures, to relaxing massage and facials. They also do henna tattoos, bleaching (of facial hair), ear piercing and threading. First impressions aren't that good. The shop has a cheap look about it, with way too many hand-written signs advertising random services. With alarm bells ringing, I was only going to ask for a price list to take away, but the lady on reception was so friendly and professional I decided to ask about their 30-minute mini facial (£18) - and before I knew it I was agreeing to have one there and then. In fact, my mini facial didn't actually seem that "mini" at all. The beauty therapist thoroughly cleansed, toned, exfoliated and applied a mask to my face - and afterwards my skin felt as clean and smooth as it has done after a full facial at a far more expensive beauty salon. Despite appearances, this place is clean and friendly, and after this first experience I'd be willing to give it another try in the future.
