OK, right up front I have to say I was given membership to this London Beauty Salon by my gorgeous…read moreboyfriend and was expecting it to be all style over substance. But... OMG it's a-mazing!!! Like there's this waterfall IN RECEPTION and they give you a robe with your name on it and a locker. Plus they do the best pedicure and I was almost asleep with the manicure and hand massage. Shelly who did my hands was just a miracle worker. I will be going back lots n lots, and I can take a guest 2 times a month.

We had a really good chat about what I wanted to have done with my colour and she really tried to understand me and give me advice on how to make it work. When explaining my idea for for my haircut, she listed intently, then looked through her phone, showed me a picture and said "Like this?" and just like that she nailed it. Amazing. She also was from Italy and many people that came in spoke Italian and it seemed nearly all the staff spoke Italian as well. It created a great European atmosphere and I just loved it. My colour BTW looks amazing and the haircut is still shining through my curls after nearly two months. Success.

I went with my wife and we had massages at the same time. The rooms were a bit small so they had to…read moreslide the table around during the massage. The face cloth was rough so I ended up with a strong headache during the first half when lying face down. The therapist had nice strong hands but did hurt me at times. I mentioned the pain but she never asked if the pressure was ok or not. Last was the oil. I was covered in it, dripping off me when the massage finished. There was a towel that I used to wipe some of it off myself but I have had other places try to remove excess oil before the massage ends. The place is nicely decorated and everyone is professional, however I don't feel like I want to go back.

So allowing a person, voluntarily, you haven't met before to pour hot wax over certain parts of…read moreyour body, then rip it off and then actually pay them for that experience isn't exactly my idea of fun for a Saturday morning (or any other day for that matter). But sometimes a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Now I have tattoos and piercing and I have attended, not one but two, test cricket matches, so I consider myself as someone with a rather high pain threshold. Except for when it comes to hair removal. I have never given birth but am fairly sure that is far less painful. It must be! As the clock reached 11am I started heading to Phoenix Beauty Point for my appointment. I was seriously considering downing a double whiskey but: A: apparently it is frowned upon to drink alcohol before you have had breakfast B: I really don't like whiskey I entered the salon and was greeted by Balo, this beautiful woman with a warm smile. She showed me to the room and asked me to get ready. As I took my clothes off I thought to myself: don't let her kind smile deceive you Alex, she is about to cause you some serious pain. She entered and soon after Operation Hair Elimination started. Now I'm not saying I didn't feel anything; I was stone cold sober remember. But Balo had this incredible way of making me think about everything else but that hot way on my skin. During the session we talked about Camden Market, the history of Afghanistan and the different dialect of Nigeria (thank you Wikipedia for making me sound like an intellectual!) and before I knew it, it was over! Balo was so thorough; not a single hair to be found. I would be lying if I said that my dislike for waxing is now gone; but at Phoenix Beauty Point it feels like a beauty treatment and not torture. I highly recommend anyone who wants a five star treatment to go there!

I would definitely go again and I would recommend it to a friend. I also had my nails done with them the following day and she did a great job. It's not in the same place as the beauty parlour, it's about 50yds down the road in a salon. My nails (false ones, french tipped) are amazing. They have survived my big day and don't feel like they're going anywhere soon! Thank you ladies!!
