The Treatment Rooms

My wife was given a voucher to go here when she left work and it was her that told me to give it five stars.

She would never have been so extravagant as to buy a treatment here, so it made an ideal gift. She tells me that it was extremely comfortable and relaxing but not something she would repeat unless it was another gift. Is she hinting at something here?

There's nothing better than sitting in a beauty salon being pampered. Even if you're just popping in for a quick wax, you've got feel like you're being looked after. In The Treatment Rooms, the most popular 'day spa' in Brighton, you can expect no less. Even just sitting on a sofa in the foyer, drinking herbal tea is immensely relaxing.

You pay a little extra for the treatments here compared to some other places in the City Centre, but it's easy to see why so many people choose to spend more and come here. The staff are friendly, always smiling and during every treatment they pay so much attention to detail to make sure everything is done properly.

I had a pedicure today, which was absolutely delightful. They don't mention on their price list or website what a pedicure involves so I had no idea what to expect. First, they bathe and exfoliate your feet, then dry them off and massage cuticle cream into your toes. After pushing back and trimming the cuticles, they give you a foot and ankle massage which is so relaxing I think I tripped into a meditative state... then they pop your feet into plastic bags and into heated booties (like slippers crossed with an electric blanket) before finally moisturising and painting your nails. Absolutely lush, and most definitely recommended.

Their waxes are brilliant too – they have the option of using hot wax (as opposed to the cloth strips) which solidifies on your skin. Although not pain free, it is significantly more bearable than a traditional wax and doesn't leave any sticky residue on your skin. You have to book a bit further in advance though as only a limited number of therapists are trained to use the hot wax. You'll also have to pay a few pounds more for the privilege, but it's definitely worth it.

I got a voucher for a massage for xmas so went here and it was great! They really know how to make a relaxing atmosphere and the massuer was friendly and knowledgable.
Even sitting in the waiting area in just a bath robe I didn't feel a bit uncomfortable, they just make it all seem so natural.
This will hopefully become a regular treat!

The first time I went to Treatment rooms was for a massage, as a birthday treat and I felt so relaxed afterwards that I actually fell a sleep. But that was fine because at this place they wouldn’t dream of stressing you out in any way so I was left under a pleasantly heated blanket to get up in my own time and then make my way to the relaxation room, which does exactly what it says. Everything from the furniture to the music to the incense to the wonderful herbal tea, work in harmony to make you forget all you cares and feel serene. Trust me this is a lot coming from me cause I usually hate all that hippy, new age stuff. The staff are fantastic and the whole experience is worth every penny. I have been twice since and will be asking Santa for another gift card.

This is one of the most highly regarded beauty salons in Brighton and certainly when you go there you can see why. The actual salon is over three floors and beautifully decorated, there is so much attention to detail that you can see alot of thought has gone into it. From the moment you step inside you feel relaxed and so muchcare goes into making sure that whatever you're going for you have a special experience. If you're lucky enough to go for a massage you can relax with a herbal tea in their chill out room for as long as you like. The staff are very proffessional and always look smart and well presented in their uniforms. They offer all of your standard beauty treatment plus many specialised treatments and packages. It's definately not cheap but if you fancy a treat or want to give someone a lovely present this is the place. They also sell a wide range of products including my favourate Eve Lom.
