The Retreat Beauty Rooms & Nail Bar at Jarrolds (1456 reviews)

Comment

I have been visiting The Retreat Salon several times for a pamper manicure, as I really appreciate that they use high-quality OPI products. I have always been very happy with the results when Becca did my manicure, and I would highly recommend her. However, last Friday, my manicure was done by a different person, who I believe was young and relatively inexperienced. Although I usually refrain from leaving negative reviews, I feel compelled to share my experience this time. The nail polish began peeling off the very next day, which is far below the standard I would expect from a professional service. Additionally, I was disappointed immediately after the manicure was finished, as the results looked no better than what I could have achieved myself at home. For a £35 service, I expected a much higher level of quality and attention to detail.

Unfortunately, they had run out of the drops that help varnish to dry quickly. Was super careful for the next hour, not touching anything but it already has chips, 8 hours afterwards.

This was the first time I had visited the Retreat. I arrived on time but it was not clear where I would register/check in. Not seeing what I found out later was the desk I did see a door above which was signage referring to the Retreat. I went through the door and down the staircase. After sitting on one of the two chairs for a few minutes a client and therapist came down the stairs. After the therapist understood why I was sitting there she went back upstairs to notify her colleague that I had arrived. On her return she apologised and said my therapist was now aware that I had arrived but would be down directly. At ten minutes after my appointment time my therapist appeared and I had my treatment. It was explained to me that there had been a desk in front of the entrance to the Retreat but that day it had been relocated. I later found out it is now opposite the entrance door to the Retreat. As you can imaging I found this initial experience of visiting the Retreat impacted on the my visit. I am not sure I would return.

Children running around in spa , then watching tv on mother’s iPhone with volume up. Not what I would expect from any spa. I could have stayed and home and done my nails myself if I wanted that environment and saved myself £40. Very poor
