What qualifications do you hold?

I hold an NVQ level 2&3 in Beauty Therapy. I also have further training in advanced skin treatments level 4 and level 4 advanced electrolysis - blemish removal. I have trained in many skincare and spa companies throughout the years gaining valuable knowledge in skincare treatments .

I am always eager to learn more in this industry and am continually learning and doing new training. I will be working towards my level 5 in the near future.

This is mandatory and means my business has been thoroughly checked by Environmental Health to ensure a safe and hygienic practice. I have had my certification and insurance checked.

What are Eve Taylor products?

Founded by pioneering aromatherapist Eve Taylor OBE, Eve Taylor products are enriched with the finest hand-blended essential oils. Available only through professional therapists and the Eve Taylor website, the products ensure your skin looks its best and your mind is balanced.

What treatment would you recommend for problem skin? 

We have various different treatments to help with problem skin, from specially selected skin care products to High Frequency and Dermalux LED. Ideally it would be best to book a Full Skin Analysis with problematic skin concerns so you can aim to get the best possible results to give you radiant, smooth, clear skin. 


However if you are not ready to take that step and would like a taster then please book the 60 minute Eve Taylor Prescriptive facial.

I have sensitive skin, what treatment would be best for me? 

For sensitive skins we take a cautious approach and use only the most gentle of products which have ingredients to help calm and soothe sensitive skin and reduce redness.

Am I able to bring my child to my appointment?

Sorry, we are unable to have children in the salon. We have very limited space and are not insured to have children in the treatment room.

What payment methods do you accept?

We use a Sum Up card reader that allows us to take payment from all credit and debit cards including Apple Pay.

We also accept cash payments and bank transfers.

Do you treat men?

Yes, we are fully inclusive and offer treatments to all gender identities.

Yes, of course. Our aim is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your time with us, and for you to leave feeling empowered and confident.

We are always happy to answer any questions that you may have prior to your treatment.

Our facial treatments and massage can help relieve stress and calm the body and mind.

Do you have a cancellation policy?

Yes, please refer to the cancellation policy.

Can I go on a sunbed after my facial treatment?

Depending on the type of facial that you have it is advisable to avoid sun exposure or sun-beds after your treatment as your skin may be more sensitive.

Always wear a SPF and reapply every two hours to protect your skin.

Can I have a treatment if I have had botox / filler?

We recommend booking your treatment 7-14 days after your botox / filler treatment. This leaves it plenty of time to settle.

Can I have a treatment if I am on RoAccutane?

Unfortunately if you are on this medication your skin can become extremely sensitive.

We recommend waiting 6-12 months after you have completed the course of medication to then have a facial treatment with us.

This is to allow your skin's barrier time to heal and repair prior to a facial treatment.

What products do you use in your treatments?

We use a lovely aromatherapy range called Eve Taylor, who exclusively work with professional salons.

Are your products cruelty free?

Yes, definitely! Eve Taylor products are not tested on animals, they are only tested on willing human participants in a controlled environment.

Eve Taylor products are mostly vegan with the exception of beeswax, honey and some sea shell used in a small collection of her products.

Please advise at time of booking if you only want vegan products used in your treatment.

Are you able to advise me on skincare and products to use at home?

Yes. We can advise you on a home-care routine using our lovely Eve Taylor Aromatherapy skin care range.

Do I need to arrive a few minutes early to my appointment?

Please arrive at your scheduled appointment time. We carry out a thorough consultation prior to your treatment.

Therefore expect to add on 15 minutes to your consultation time (free of charge).

Is there anything I need to do in preparation for my treatment?

We reccommend arriving to treatment with little makeup and jewellery on.

Please see our pre and post care for any guidance.

Can I have a treatment if I am pregnant?

It is best to let us know prior to treatment. The same can be said for any other pre-existing medical conditions.
