Cannot recommend highly enough. Jo had a wonderful manner, was polite, informative and comforting (which for my first ever massage, was very well received!). The service provided was incredibly professional, phenomenal value and far exceeded my expectations.

Jo and her incredible aromatherpy massage sessions have been so vital for the wellbeing of both my physical and mental health during the difficulties of this pandemic. She really pays attention to her clients and is very skilled and knowledgable. She treats me as a valued customer and also a friend. 11/10 would recommend her services to everyone! 💚

My massages with Jo are a little piece of heaven. Best massages I’ve ever had, Jo is extremely knowledgeable on how massaging certain areas can help to relieve pain as well as in using essential oils. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been a receptionist in the past and a client of Joannes for many years. I go to Appleonia for pedicures, manicures, massages and other treatments on a regular basis. Jo goes above and beyond the call if time allows. She does many treatments and is an expert at them all. The products she uses are exceptional. The nail varnishes last for ages. This is because of the immaculate preparation and base products as well as the final coat. I would highly recommend this Salon to anyone. Christmas is coming and Jo does a great range of vouchers which make great presents. The salon was spotless

I've had waxing, massages and a lash lift done at Appleonia. Joanne is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling thoroughly pampered and having booked my next appointment!
