Gilded dreams where amazing. Unsure what to expect going for a pedicure a first for me along with a hot shell massage with my friend. We truly enjoyed our selves two lads having a pamper. The staff where super friendly professional easy to get along with and laugh with making for a truly friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Even the decor gave for a fantastic experience looking around at the lamp fixtures / work spaces to the comfy armchairs we got to unwind in. I highly recommend that people treat themselves to a pamper and pay gilded dreams a visit. It really shows why they have just won an award
