New Chelsea Day Spa, Wandsworth Bridge Road

Posted on by

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.

New York Manicure, The Chelsea Day Spa

Posted on by

After discovering a real lack of nail bars in London, I’ve been on the hunt for places to indulge my fingers and toes. Satisfying the endless needs of Chelsea girls, The Chelsea Day Spa provides a huge variety of services: facials, waxing, eye treatments, nail therapies and massages.

The Spa opened in October 2011 on chic Hollywood Road. Sister spa to the popular The Chelsea Day Spa on King’s Road, this smaller venue is quieter and more discreet, the ideal place for a morning of pampering. It is an intimate and relaxing venue with carefully chosen ranges of face, body and nail treatments and products, three cosy treatment rooms and nail bar. There is a team of highly qualified therapists who perform the luxurious treatments.

The Chelsea Day Spa Boutique also offers basic grooming and express treatments for both men and women which include waxing with Perron Rigot, eyelash and brow tinting, plus express manicures, pedicures and ‘everlasting’ gels with Jessica. Light refreshments are available for visitors; parched after my manicure I tasted their delicious orange hinted water.

I tried the very popular New York manicure which is an ongoing offer – a high gloss, low cost, speedy treatment to smarten up your nails.

My expert beautician carefully soaked, cut, filed and shaped my nails working on my cuticles, with a lovely hand massage, moisturising and polish. Apparently while sitting in the nail bar you can watch various episodes of Sex and The City and enjoy light refreshments but sadly none of this was offered to me. The manicurist was efficient but I was a little disappointed that she wasn’t more friendly, she seemed distracted and barely spoke to me at all, maybe she was just concentrating on my nails, which she tidied and polished immaculately. The brightly coloured Jessica nail polishes on display looked great ordered by colour. I was very indecisive choosing a colour but I eventually opted for a vibrant pink with funky dark purple tips.
