The Chelsea Day Spa is now open for business on Wandsworth Bridge Road, the third branch of this highly successful boutique spa.

While specialising in hair and beauty, CDS offers it all, every treatment imaginable and more. I was tempted to try the new hair styling salon but with short messy hair, felt a pedicure was more useful and long lasting.

Luxurious but relaxed, it is easy to get carried away here, I noticed several visitors come in for a massage and leave only after booking in for a future day’s worth of pampering. Sharon was my therapist for the afternoon, a very experienced nail technician and beautician, I felt in safe ‘hands’. With my toenails coated with strong gel from New York, Sharon had to spend a good 45 minutes rubbing away, desperately trying to remove the vicious plasticky substance. Eventually it budged and the pedicure could commence.

The salon space is small and smart, with comfortable chairs to relax in. If you haven’t visited Wandsworth Bridge Road before I recommend a trip, very close to my best friend’s house I have spent many a fun Sunday afternoon perusing the shops and chatting in the cafes.

The state of the art equipment and design at CDS makes treatments extra indulgent. After a nail trim and file Sharon soaked, exfoliated and moisturised my feet. This deluxe pedicure also includes a hydrating masque which is painted onto your tootsies, clingfilmed and kept warm in mittens, allowing the skin to soften and rejuvenating your feet completely.

I chose one of the more glamorous shades of red-orange Jessica nail varnish, a change from my more usual stand-out neon. It is bold and impressive, I’m hoping this nail varnish will stay in place for my Caribbean trip in a few weeks.
