The Good Stuff
BIAB nails
BIAB manicures are repeatedly praised for pretty, clean finishes, with one reviewer noting careful shaping to build a more balanced nail.
Colour products
A reviewer was pleased with a natural blonde root touch-up using Wella colour, while Kevin Murphy products left the hair feeling silky and soft.
Head massage
Hair appointments can include a notably relaxing wash-basin head massage, a detail mentioned by returning salon visitors.
Child friendly
One manicure guest said staff offered her child snacks and juice and played with her, making it easier to relax during the appointment.
Clean setting
Reviews describe the salon as clean, beautiful and calm; the nail area was also noted to have dust suction.
Blow-dries
The bouncy blow-dry is specifically praised, with reviewers describing fresh trims, curls and fast, careful styling.
Refreshments
Guests have mentioned Fiji water, iced coffee with alternative milk and syrup on the side, plus coffee while waiting.
Tips for a Better Visit
Clarify colour. For balayage or highlights, confirm the exact technique and target shade before booking; one customer received highlights instead of balayage.
Book consultation. If you are new to colouring, start with a consultation so the stylist can explain the alternatives and their pros and cons.
Check deposit. Ask about the advance-payment terms before confirming, as one review says half the appointment cost was requested upfront.
Bring earbuds. If you prefer a quiet nail appointment, bring earbuds when the salon is busy; a reviewer found the nearby blow-dryer loud.
Bring children. The salon may be workable for a manicure with a child in tow: one guest said staff provided snacks, juice and playtime.
Ask about valet. Before arriving, ask the salon to confirm the current location and valet arrangements; a reviewer found that information clear when booking.

Customers often describe stylists as careful listeners, and several mention consultations that helped them understand colouring options before committing. Bouncy blow-dries, natural-looking blonde work and hair treatments that left hair silky also stand out.

Hair guests have enjoyed head massages at the wash basin, while one manicure customer said staff kept her child occupied with snacks, juice and playtime.
The salon is in One Park Avenue, and a reviewer found the booking, location and valet information clear. There are important caveats for first-timers. One customer found the pricing unreasonable and said a 50% deposit was required.
