Virginia Williams Skin Care Studio 's review by Mel
BE WARNED: THE HOSPITALITY LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment, which I did not realise would cause a huge issue as I'd assumed Virginia Williams was a salon environment. I recall it was pouring down raining on the day and I was very abruptly told to stand outside on the doorstep and wait until my appointment. I had assumed this was due to another client undergoing a treatment. However, I waited on the doorstep (by which point I was completely drenched) then I rang the bell on the exact minute of my appointment by which Virginia opened the door to me (with no client leaving?!) Anyway, by this point I was pretty cold and in a less than happy mood. I had thought after this point I'd have been treated exceedingly well given my patience in this less than ideal situation. However, this was not the case! I was made to feel very uncomfortable for having not removed my toe nail varnish prior to my pedicure (although this was NOT mentioned in the pre-arrival information - otherwise I'd have happily done so). I was treated appalingly and have never ever experienced such a hostile environment. This whole experience has not been easy to forget and was a real shame as I had recently moved to the area and was looking for a local therapist to visit for all of my regular treaments. I think Virginia Williams (as standard) should treat every client with this in mind; I could have proven to become a very lucrative customer. The minx pedicure that I received was actually fine so no complaints about quality but after this appalling experience where I was made to feel an inconvenience I shan't be returning!

Virginia Williams Skin Care Studio 's review by Miss B
I’d been looking for a good beauty salon in East London or West Essex for ages, and had heard Virginia Williams was a good place to visit. I signed up for the new signature treatment, The Body & Mind Rewind, a full body massage and Dermalogica AGE Smart facial. It was worth every minute. The therapist was really friendly and professional, putting me at ease straight away. I opted for a de-stressing massage, and almost fell asleep during the process, it was that good! It began with a hot stone on my back to help me relax, and was followed with a massage to my legs. The therapist worked wonders on my neck and shoulders, which have been so knotty. The therapist tackled each knot one-by-one and the stress just melted away. Virginia Williams really does take her time to make sure your treatment is relaxing and unhurried. The massage felt much longer than the hour it was. The facial was also excellent, and began with a consultation and skin analysis. Virginia Williams carried out a comprehensive Dermalogica Face Map to work out what areas needed most attention. She gave me lots of tips on what things I should concentrate on, such as exfoliation. Next, I was placed under a special steamer machine, to help my pores open up. This was followed with a variety of Dermalogica AGE Smart cleansing, exfoliating and toning products, as well as hot towels. While I could not see what was happening, I was really happy with how the facial felt and smelt. The products were citrus-fresh. The areas of most concern that I’d mentioned in the consulation, fine lines around the eyes and breakout spots, received special attention. I also had a nice pressure point facial massage. Once I’d been given plenty of time to ‘come to’ after the session, I had another Q&A chat with Virginia Williams, which allowed me to find out all about the products she’d used. This was accompanied by a handy pack of free samples of those products, and a copy of the Face Map she completed at the start. Afterwards, my skin felt the cleanest and softest it’s ever been. In particular, I was really pleased with the effects of the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, and the Age Smart Multivitamin Power Firm toner. I also loved the Spot clearing gel and eye cream. These are all products which the therapist tailored to the condition of my skin, and I now plan to introduce them into my regime. My spots seemed to have almost disappeared within an hour. I’d definitely go back again, and recommend it to anyone.
