Services
VPL Laser Hair Removal
VPL technology safely and effectively removes unwanted hair from all body areas. The treatment uses controlled light pulses to target hair follicles, reducing regrowth. Ideal for both coarse and fine hair, it delivers long-lasting results with minimal discomfort. Clients typically require multiple sessions for optimal outcomes.
Microblading
This semi-permanent technique creates natural-looking brows by scratching pigment into the skin in fine strokes. It enhances shape, symmetry, and volume for sparse or uneven brows. The treatment includes a consultation and follow-up top-up for lasting, smudge-proof results.
Dermalogica Skin Services
Tailored facials using Dermalogica products address concerns like acne, sensitivity, and ageing. Each session starts with Face Mapping analysis to customise treatments. Options include Pro Skin 60, Pro Firm, and Pro Bright for targeted results in a relaxing setting.
Skin Peels
Pro Power Peel resurfaces skin with a three-acid formula to target discoloration, texture, and breakouts. Treatments are customised to achieve smoother, brighter skin and stimulate collagen production. A course of sessions is recommended for lasting effects.
Massage Therapies
Neck, back, shoulders, and full-body massages relieve tension and promote relaxation. Techniques include deep tissue, hot stone, and reflexology to address muscle stress and improve circulation. Sessions range from 30 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes.

I just had an amazing Lava Shell Massage at Waterlillies this morning. It was so relaxing, I floated out. Alison and Helen are always so welcoming and friendly and always go above a beyond. Their COVID-19 measures help you feel very safe. Highly recommend

Always have a great experience at waterlilies, started going here a few months ago to get my nails done! I would definitely recommend Kyan for them, she is so friendly and polite, and does the best manicure I've ever had!! Very impressed! Just wish they did special offers as its a pricey luxury to get them done all the time!

Great experience, felt really welcomed and was really happy with the results. It was my first time having my eyebrows tinted and they look amazing! Was very kind of the staff to honour my free makeover from a raffle prize! Already looking forward to going back and having my lashes tinted! Highly recommend
