Services

Electrolysis

Electrolysis offers permanent hair removal through the Blend Method, combining heat and chemical action for effective results. Ideal for fair or dark hair, this treatment targets hair follicles precisely. Sian Lewis, with 35 years' expertise, ensures safe, tailored sessions. Clients pay per timed session based on treatment area, with visible results achieved through multiple appointments. This solution provides long-term cost savings compared to regular waxing.

IPL Hair Removal

IPL technology uses controlled light impulses to reduce unwanted hair permanently. Best suited for dark hair on pale skin, this treatment requires 6 sessions for optimal results. Areas treated include bikini lines, legs, underarms, and facial zones. Each session costs from 80, with package discounts available. The non-invasive procedure offers lasting results, eliminating the need for frequent waxing or shaving while addressing ingrown hairs effectively.

Body Sculpting

Emsculpt uses electromagnetic energy to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously. This non-surgical treatment delivers 20,000 contractions in 30 minutes, achieving 19% fat reduction and 16% muscle growth. Ideal for abdominals or buttocks, sessions start at 350. Results develop over three months with maintenance plans available. Clinical studies confirm safety and effectiveness, making it a popular choice for targeted body contouring without downtime.

Facial Treatments

Facial treatments range from basic cleanses to advanced anti-aging therapies. The Luxury Renu Facial includes head and shoulder massage using premium products, priced at 65. Prescription Facials address specific skin concerns, while microdermabrasion treatments start at 50. These services improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance complexion through tailored techniques. Courses of treatments yield optimal results for various skin types and conditions.

Manicures

Manicure services include classic treatments from 40 and spa packages with additional benefits. Gel nail applications start at 40, lasting weeks without chipping. The salon offers shellac polish, French tips, and intensive moisturising options. Treatments combine nail shaping, cuticle work, and polish application, with durations from 30 minutes. These services cater to both practical maintenance and luxury beauty requirements for hands and feet.

I love coming to The Parlour, it's the only place I'll go for a wax because the ladies themselves all do and incredible job and are lovely to talk to. The timing available have a massive range so it fits most life styles and the quality is one of the best I've ever had. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I have received on going treatment at The Parlour over the years for hair removal (waxing) and semi-permanent eyelashes. I have always felt welcomed and at ease with the therapists no matter the treatment and most importantly always had fantastic results. Thanks so much xx

Not a good Hollywood wax at all. Wax was too hot and she made me stretch my skin myself by pushing my hands apart which hurt so much. Didnt even press on it after she ripped the wax strip off and went over the same spot like 20 times.
