womankind

Had a lovely visit to womankind today 26÷11÷14. Had a beautiful facial for my anti-​ageing skin and my nails done by Tegan. Looked after very well.

Was given a gift voucher for a deluxe manicure which is always a treat. Chose to have chellac applied to my nails. I have quite prominent cuticles which are usually well pushed down and/​or trimmed away when I’ve previously had manicures. In this case my cuticles were cursorily pushed down but had bounced back up again by the time the chellac was applied. Consequently the chellac pooled around my cuticles and looked as though I’d applied my nail varnish, at home, in a hurry. I assumed that the clogging around my cuticles would wear off after a day or two as it would with normal nail varnish. However, chellac doesn’t work like that. After a week I went to Boots, bought some acetone and took the chellac off. Very disappointed. The gift voucher cost £45 and I really would have expected better. Sorry, but I wouldn’t recommend this salon for a manicure — really slap dash. The person who did it admitted to being the business manager, so perhaps the trained beauticians would do a better job.

excellent all round. Best beauticians in Edinburgh the girls are genuine and professional. They need a bigger shop.

Love this beauticians, the staff are so nice, very professional and obviously experienced. This is the only place where the beauticians remember what you talked about last time you visited! The girl I go to always remembers what I said I was going to be doing and asks about it, making it feel like she has a genuine interest in talking to you and isn’t just making mindless chatter to pass the time!
I didn’t find the prices too expensive, I’m happy to pay for the reassurance that they know what they are doing!

This beauticians has to be the girliest place I’ve ever been– as soon as you enter it’s chintzy, chandeliered reception you feel like you are in a cleaner, nicer world. The staff here are the most discreet, professional beauticians in Edinburgh and they provide a wide range of beuaty treatments.
They try to sourced all their materials organically, and this is reflected in the price– however, it’s well worth paying the extra simply for the calm, reassuring atmosphere in this pampering haven.
