I have just had my first appointment here and loved every bit of my experience with Brandi.
Brandi’s is tucked away in the back of a gorgeous hair salon. The treatment rooms connect to a front reception area and the double doors ensure the treatment rooms are peacefully quiet. An ambience of warmth and relaxation is created with beautiful essential oils and subdued lighting. The level of cleanliness is outstanding.
I had a brow wax and tint and a hydrating facial. Brandi was exceptionally thorough and did an excellent job of my brows. The facial was simply outstanding. As a trained beauty therapist, I find I can’t help but mentally critique from the bed. This facial was almost faultless. Beginning the facial with a beautiful hand and arm ritual that literally nearly brought me to tears, and moving through the steps in a thorough, confident and reassuring manner, I was able to relax completely. The guided meditation via headphones whilst my mask was on was a unique and tranquil experience.
Brandi has an comprehensive knowledge of skin, and a confidence, self-awareness and empathy that I’ve rarely found in all of my years receiving beauty treatments. Her philosophy of treating mind and body is what takes her salon to a different level. The current Covid situation has created so much stress and anxiety for so many, and Brandi has created the perfect escape from that. I would highly recommend this salon and look forward to returning again soon.

Brandi is so thorough and professional in all that she does and makes you feel so welcome as soon as you enter her salon. I recently had my eyebrows waxed and tinted with henna, and they were some of the best brows I have ever had done before. The shape and colour were perfect and exactly what I asked for! Very happy with the service that I got and 100% trust Brandi to do a great job. Will be back again soon.

I had the Ginger and Me facial and it was amazing. I felt relaxed after. It was very therapeutic and my skin feels great. Brandi was fantastic. She took the time to ask me what I was needing and made me feel comfortable. The personal touches only added to the experience. Can’t wait to rebook.

I had a facial at a beautiful boutique yesterday and it was so heavenly I just had to share!! @brandisskinandbeauty
is a cute 1-client salon nestled within my favourite hair salon @eveandco in Newstead. Run by the lovely, warm, worldly Brandi who was absolutely born for being a Beauty Specialist, being as knowledgeable as she is talented at her craft, the boutique is quiet (sooo important during a facial), inviting and serene.
I loved that I felt comfortable to either talk or not talk (you know how sometimes you feel the pressure to make conversation?? I was super comfy being quiet with Brandi), a cute little aromatherapy ribbon was gently tied to my wrist at the beginning (details!), the amazing products from @gingerandme are vegan and cruelty-free & smelled and felt luxurious, and the things I always wish other beauticians would do during a facial came as second nature to Brandi. You know the ones - keeping their hand on your face the whole time, explaining the next steps, being fully present and in tune with your needs - no weird silent moments where you’re left wondering what’s going on. There was a personalised daily affirmation on the bed when I walked in (love that!) and while my customised mask worked it’s magic, I was taken through a guided meditation - bliss! I left feeling so relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated, and my skin looked incredible (still does today!). ☀️
Honestly, I had such a beautiful experience and would highly recommend @brandisskinandbeauty to anyone looking for next level ethical luxury

Brandi’s facials are more than just a “treatment”, they are an experience and one that I would highly recommend. Brandi epitomises the significance of human touch as she takes the time to truly listen to the needs of each individual. You never feel like she is just going through the motions, instead Brandi takes her time and transports you to a place of complete relaxation and trust as she works magic on your skin…your mind…and your soul.

I came into the salon to get the ginger and me facial. I have received many facials and I am also a Beauty therapist and all I can say is I have never ever received a facial like this before it was out of this world. I came into the salon feeling pretty down and left feeling confident, happy, energetic and positive ! All from a facial!!! Brandi has magic hands and is a kind nurturing soul that only wants the best for you. I felt so safe and protected. I would and have recommended this salon to many people as it is truly tremendous.
