1 /5 ND: I recently visited Halo Hair and Beauty as it’s just 5 minutes away from my place. I wanted to book an appointment after 7:30 PM since I had dinner plans, but they said they had no availability. I therefore booked a 4:45 PM slot just for eyebrow and upper lip waxing.
I value punctuality, so I arrived 5 minutes early. Despite the salon being almost empty, I was only called in at 5 PM — which I still let pass. When I mentioned waxing, the staff member seemed unsure, so I said I was fine with either waxing or threading, whichever she was comfortable with. She proceeded without much explanation.
When I paid £22, I didn’t mind the price, but later that evening I noticed a burning sensation on my upper lip. Upon washing my face, I saw a small wound, which I ignored at first as I had to rush for dinner. However, the next day I noticed a visible scar — a patch of skin had peeled off (attached photo).
I’m very disappointed with the service quality. For the price charged, I expected professional care and better attention, especially considering my sensitive skin. Now I’m left worrying about how long this scar will take to heal.
I wouldn’t recommend this place — overpriced and careless service.
