Hi everyone! I'd like to post about a ***warning*** message about a local Brighton salon/spa and hopefully, save someone from a disaster.
Essence Day Spa offers standard services (ie. waxing, mani/pedis etc). I've been going to this spa for months as it is one of only 2 salons in Brighton that provide these services. As of late, I've been burnt (my skin went from bright red, to raw, to a burnt crimson colour) because the wax that was applied to my eyebrows and upper lip was not only way too hot, but also rushed. This happened on both of my eyelids. As you'll see, my eyebrow shape is completely gone and I have barely any eyebrow left! At the same time, I 100% have always had to go over my brows/upper lips again because they consistently miss hair each time. I wish this was all. Since July 2016, I have gone to this spa and their pricing for eyebrows/upper lip has always been $11.00, until they doubled this price to $22.00 with no warning. They told me at the till and I was shocked that I had to pay double for a mediocre job that I was going to have to go home and fix myself. They mentioned that it had been a 'special' - I suppose this special lasted 8 months? Aside from this, a quick note about their manicures from Essence Day Spa - mine have always, without any exception chipped within a few days. All of this being said - I think this spa has been given a fair chance. I will not be returning to this spa under any circumstances!
Please save your hard earned money and go to and quality salon that offers you the service, precision and care that you deserve! I know this was a long review, thank you very much for reading. I do hope that my lesson was one that doesn't have to be learnt by anyone else!
