Love love love it!

Everyone has been in to a Boots before so I won't start explaining what they sell, I'll focus on…read morethis store and what's great, good and bad about it! First up, there actually isn't too much bad about this Boots, mainly good and great. It's absolutely huge, it would remind you of a warehouse - because it's so huge it stocks almost everything you can find on their website. You have all the usuals as well as an electrical section. This Boots also has a large aftershave/perfume and specialised make up section with the major big brands being represented (Clarins etc). There's a few tills so you won't wait too long and as with most high street chains they are happy to accept credit and debit cards, failing that there's an ATM outside. The parking situation here is great if you can get a space - there's a huge free car park at this complex but it is always busy!

By far the best boots store to go to! It is also one of the biggest!…read more The main reason I come here is to purchase makeup! They have an Estée Lauder, clarins, Lancôme and no7 counter here! But the most exciting part for me is that they stock nyx makeup which is an American drug store brand which is amazing! They have a high range of hair products and skin care products! In regards to Health and beauty I would be shocked if you didn't find what you were looking for here! I could spend over an hour browsing through this store!

I'm not one for the makeup and beauty products (except for maybe the occasional Friday night...)…read morebut this is a great place for you female Yelpers out there. This place supplies a lot of beauty shops so it sells a lot of stuff in bulk - much of which I have no idea the purpose of. It seems to me that women now need to have some type of experience as a painter and decorator to get ready for a night out. I mean, the process of doing your nails even baffles me. Some sort of primer/undercoat followed by a few coats of nail polish followed by some type of aftercoat?! (should that be overcoat?). I have no idea. What I do know is that the staff in here are friendly, as I was in one day picking up a bottle of some nail varnish (don't ask) which I thought was called opee-eye. Obviously, being unfamiliar with all this non-combatant war paint, I had no idea and just assumed it was the latest brand to launch. Turns out it had been around for a while and it's called OPI. This is the place that supplies salons with products you can't get in Boots. I'd say if any female visitors to Belfast (or groups of them) decide to take the short trip from the city centre for a spot of shopping in Boucher (see my Boucher Crescent retail park review) then they should take a quick trek round here. It's just a few hundred yards from Boucher retail park, which is about 5 minute walk (or four hours in those stilts that women affectionately call 'heels'). Had to give it four stars. I'm not a fan personally, but it does deserve four stars.

My new great discovery. Sallys sells salon size and quality goods to the public. I wonder who…read moreSally is though. Sallys has everything you could possibly need for a home grooming session, all under one roof and at very good prices. Nail supplies, including all the professional standard stuff you need to apply gel and acrylic nails so you and a friend could do each others nails and save a fortune on salon prices. The same goes for all things hair related. Tints, dyes, shampoos, conditioners and treatments. Also brushes and hairdryers, all salon quality. I got my last hair dryer there and it's great - light, very long lead and dries my hair super quick. Considering that the one before that came from Argos for £50 and was a pile of pants, I am very pleased. I think perhaps that in theory the cashier is meant to ask for your trade card, but I have never been asked. But then I am so glam that I could easily be mistaken for a beautician or hairdresser. In my dreams.

While it feels a…read morelittle clinical in design, the selection of gorgeous fancy lotions and potions in here is enough for even the most frugal shopper to get their purse out. Also, while the staff sometimes look intimidatingly glamorous, I've always found them really helpful and friendly, and it is the perfect place to go when you want a treat or Boots is stressing you out. It's girly- Saturday heaven!

Everyone's heard of Space NK, right? Well, by far the most interesting thing about it is that the…read morefounder and face of the company, Nicky Kinnard, is a Northern Irish girl! How cool is that? She opened up her first store in Covent Garden years ago and now has shops all over the world. I'm always a fan when something global turns out to be homegrown... Plus, I love this shop. From the outside, it looks like it would be the type of shop in which you'd be judged by what you're wearing, but it couldn't be farther from that. Yes, the products are all pretty high end, but the girls who work there are always on hand to give you some advice, wrap your purchase beautifully for you and send you on your merry way again!

Selling a brilliant range in hair colours, lotions, potions and all the other bits and pieces us ladies need for constant maintenance you will find stuff here you can't get in your usual pharmacies. I'm a bit of a fan of the pink hair dye they have, and the when it was out of stock the girls could not have been more helpful and friendly with their advice and offering of alternatives. If you are looking for something a little different or have the guts to dye at home without expensive salons, this is the place for you.

Sally Salon Services is an amazing shop. I visited today and the Lady at the counter asked if she…read morecould help, but when I told her I was only there to have look she just left me alone to browse. This is great as I hate it when sales assistants constantly hover over me in shops. There's a huge selection of products here and an especially good range of gel nail polishes. I would really recommend this shop.

For most of the appointment, they made me stand up instead of sitting in the chair. They charged me 10 pounds extra to dry my hair, and the lady doing it didn't even use a comb. She dried it with her fingers, and it looked frizzy and awful. I've never been angry about a haircut before, but I almost left in tears. I tried to fix my hair when I got home, and there is a half inch difference on each side. I can't speak to the talent of all of the staff, but I would not recommend this place!
