The Haven

I reckon this is one of the more upmarket beauty salons close to me. It’s freshly painted exterior, gold sign lettering and shiny windows definitely give over this impression.
Inside it’s no different — the place is extremely clean (something you would hope for in anywhere where these types of treatments go on), well organised and immaculately presented.
This place deals in a whole range of beauty and health treatments. These go from the fairly common and basic such as spray tans, facials, hair removal and nail work (e.g. manicures and pedicures) to the more complex and advanced. This meaning reflexology, counselling and semi-​permanent eyelash treatments.
Unfortunately, these more complex and uncommon treatments are not ones that I have personally tried — or know someone who has. Instead, I have stuck to the basic nails, hair removal and the odd spray tan for big occasions in the summer when it seems compulsory to flash the flesh.
For these common treatments, they did provide a good service with pleasant staff and the treatments certainly did what they were supposed to. However, after trying these out a few times I don’t see how I can realistically justify going slightly further out of my way and spending slightly more money for the same outcome.
Thus, I would only really suggest this place if you are seeking out some advice on their special treatments, or indeed the special treatments themselves without travelling into town. The offering of these few special and more unusual treatments are really the only reason for the fourth star. Though, it was also nice to be in somewhere a bit more upmarket for a one off.
