Facials
Our facials combine advanced skincare techniques with personalised consultation to address individual skin concerns. Using premium products, we offer balancing, hydrating, and purifying treatments that rejuvenate skin texture and promote a healthy glow. Each session includes professional analysis and aftercare advice tailored to your skin type.
Massage Treatments
From Swedish relaxation to deep tissue therapy, our massages target muscle tension and improve circulation. Therapists adapt pressure and techniques to individual needs, incorporating essential oils for enhanced relaxation. Regular sessions help manage stress, alleviate chronic pain, and improve overall well-being through expert manual therapy.
Waxing
Professional waxing services provide long-lasting hair removal using skin-friendly products. We offer full-body treatments with attention to sensitive areas, ensuring minimal discomfort and smooth results. Post-treatment care advice helps maintain skin health between appointments for optimal outcomes.
Hopi Ear Candles
This gentle, non-invasive treatment uses specially designed candles to promote ear health and relieve sinus pressure. The process creates a soothing chimney effect that helps remove excess wax and impurities while promoting relaxation and improved hearing clarity.
Crochet Workshop
Guided crochet sessions teach fundamental techniques through hands-on instruction. Suitable for all skill levels, these workshops provide creative outlets while developing practical crafting abilities in a relaxed, social environment with expert tutor support.

Been going here for about 2 years after jumping around a lot to find a nice quality salon where the prices were still fair! They are always accommodating to requests and I have never had any kind of lifting here with the full sets and fills I get. If you get a pedicure here get the jelly!! Its 6$ extra but its soooo worth it!! Always friendly and responsive as well.

I dont like people touching my nails, especially trimming cuticles, but the nail techs are so kind and gentle I have started getting regular pedicures. Prior to going to Polish and Pamper I had 1 & 1/2 pedicures in my entire 60 yrs, but in the last 12 months I have had 3 complete pedicures !

Polish and Pamper has been my go-to nail salon for several years now. Theyre friendly, professional and mostly on time! Normally when you make an appointment at another nail salon, you still have to wait so long to get started. Thats not the case at Polish and Pamper. They do their best to get your started at your appointment time. They also do a great job on my toes and my eyebrow/lip wax. 10/10-highly recommend!

Incredible atmosphere. Intimate but relaxed. Everyone is attentive and easy going. Informative and kind. Had questions (first time getting gel) and she was patient with me and answered them all. Cant wait to go back for designs and fills. They also have a rewards/loyalty program. My boyfriend enjoyed good pedicure too. So sweet to him for his birthday. Worth the trip; if youre looking for a spot this is the one to go to
