Same-day and last-minute appointments are available. You can make your booking up to 1 hour before your appointment start time. Please be advised that last-minute appointments are very popular and available timeslots are taken quickly.


How do I know my treatment will be high quality and safe?

Your selected beauty professional will bring everything they need to give you a high-quality and hygienic treatment as you would expect in any quality beauty salon. Beauty professionals only use high-quality professional products and recognised brands and are trained to a level to have best practice skills.


Can I book a specific beauty professional?

Yes, you can choose a specific therapist, hairdresser, or make-up artist. When selecting your treatments and date you will be presented with all the beauty professionals that can offer your selected treatments. If you would prefer to select a specific person based upon your treatment selection, you can select them from the treatment selection page. We do a thorough recruitment and vetting process and only take on highly qualified beauty professionals so you can be assured of a high-quality, salon-grade service when you book.


Do I need to provide anything for the treatment?

No, your selected beauty professional will bring everything they need. You may need enough room for a treatment bed or want a private/relaxing space, or the therapist or hairstylist may need access to electricity and water supply.

Why can't I see the treatment I want to book?

Our booking system is dynamically generated based on the services and availability of our beauty professionals. If you cannot see the service that you are looking for, it means that no service provider offering this service has added any availability. Sometimes we can find beauty therapists at short notice, so feel free to drop us an email with the services you require and your location, and we can see whether we could facilitate your booking.

We are always adding new professionals to our platform in order to increase hours and availability, so be sure to check back often and sign up for our newsletter for the latest updates.
