RMUK Hair Beauty Day Spa is a family-run business that has been around since 1981. Due to their longevity, they’ve been recognised as a Guinot skincare specialist and a flagship Aveda Day Spa.

I’ve actually decided to go for their Essential Silver package, which covers everything from skin consultations to professional gel applications. I found the entire bundle to be an excellent value at £120!

Afterwards, I enjoyed hanging out at their lovely terrace and ordering from their private bar. Nothing like a cold drink after a day of pampering to really lift one’s mood, right?

I would have liked to say my visit was perfect. However, there was a slight delay in the start time because the aesthetician was running behind.

Pros

  • Over 20 years of experience
  • Known as a Guinot skincare specialist
  • A flagship Aveda Day Spa
  • Has high-value spa packages
  • Has a terrace and a private bar

Cons

  • Issues with punctuality

Amazing salon with the best team

“Amazing salon with the best team. Been going to RMUK for many years now and recommend it to anyone. I take my mum and daughters there too, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Tim and Michelle are fabulous and know we are in safe hands with them, and Massi is amazing with his colour work. The salon is lovely and very disability friendly. Always get offered a hot drink and a head massage too. 10/10” — natalie wood, Google Review

The best when it comes to knowing their craft 

“I have been an RMUK loyalist for 2 years now, and I can absolutely say that they are the best when it comes to knowing their craft and also in providing services. Every professional at RMUK is dedicated and polite and always delivers what they promise. Also, really love their coffee treats 😊” — Marina Abey Thomas, Google Review

Since 2006, Urban Chic Beauty has nailed that friendly, welcoming energy that makes you feel right at home.

They’re the go-to experts for waxing in Yorkshire. In fact, they’ve even trained tons of other therapists in the area, so you know they’re legit.

Of course, I tried their ¾ leg wax, and honestly, I was blown away! It was easily the best wax I’ve had—very quick and painless.

Since I had time to spare, I also managed to snag a website promo for a spray tan and gel nails that only cost me £60. It was such a steal, especially considering we’re at the heart of the city.

One thing to keep in mind is that their online booking system can be a little bit glitchy. There were times I had to start all over again, which was a tad annoying.

Pros

  • Over 20 years of experience
  • Go-to experts for waxing in Yorkshire
  • Has trained other wax therapists
  • Offers online promotions

Cons

  • Glitchy online booking system

The best wax experience I’ve ever had! 

“Honestly, the best wax experience I’ve ever had! So friendly and chatty too! Excellent customer service will definitely book again :)” — Kirstie Potter, Google Review

I won’t go anywhere else now

“The best wax I’ve ever had. Alice was amazing from start to finish. I won’t go anywhere else now. I was made to feel at ease straight away and would 100% recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much.” — Emma Ruiz, Google Review

AFSOO Beauty has been climbing the ranks for over 15 years, even snagging a shout-out from the Yorkshire Evening Post.

What they’re primarily known for is creating naturally lifted lashes that look flawless and never clumpy. Their careful technique of separating each lash is what gives you that perfect, fluttery finish.

Obviously, I went for their last lift and tint promo, and I was so happy with how my eyes popped without needing any mascara. The dyes they use are gentle on sensitive eyes, which I found to be a huge relief compared to other places.

I even joined their rewards program, where you can rack up points to use for future discounts—imagine earning a £10 voucher just for staying loyal.

The only thing that soured my mood was the staff, who I found to be a tad rude.

Pros

  • Over 15 years of experience
  • Known for naturally lifted lashes
  • Has a lash lift and tint promo
  • Offers a rewards program

Cons

  • The staff were a bit rude

One of the best lash lifts I have ever received

“One of the best lash lifts I have ever received (lasts for weeks on end!). These ladies know what the definition of beauty is. They offer a range of services, and I’m shocked at how well everything is run. I recommend that anyone come to AFSOO Beauty. Their prices are affordable, and the people here are lovely! 100/10” — Sab Hass, Google Review

My results are absolutely beautiful!

“​I had a wonderful experience at the salon today for a brow lamination and a lash lift. The entire service was excellent from the moment I walked in. I was lucky enough to have Shaza as my technician, and she is truly an expert. She was professional, attentive, and incredibly meticulous throughout both processes. My results are absolutely beautiful! My brow lamination came out perfectly defined and lifted, and my lash lift makes my natural lashes look phenomenal. If you are looking for gorgeous brows and lashes, I highly recommend this salon and specifically ask for Shaza. Thank you for the outstanding work!” — sumaya, Google Review

4. Allertons Leeds

Website 

Allertons offers a big menu of beauty services for both men and women, from waxing and facials to luxury manicures and pedicures.

They started me off with a free, no-obligation consultation for hair and styling. Together, we were able to choose the perfect cut and colour for my face shape and skin colouring.

I have to say, the results were amazing. My stylist gave me a lovely trim with perfect layers and finished everything off with a bouncy blow-dry.

Not only was she talented, but she was also such a lovely person to chat with throughout my appointment. 

Overall, I was so impressed with their service that I ended up buying an eGift card for a friend. I think this would help her out because they’re a bit pricey.

A cool bonus is their on-site cafe, which serves authentic Italian coffee and pastry—the ideal spot to hang out post-treatment.

Pros

  • Free, no-obligation consultation
  • Lovely accommodating staff
  • Offers eGift cards
  • Has an on-site cafe

Cons

  • Pricey

My hair looks and feels amazing

“Sophie C is an incredible stylist! She takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure every detail is perfect. My hair looks and feels amazing, and I left the salon feeling completely refreshed and confident. She’s not only talented but also friendly and professional, creating a relaxing atmosphere from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend Sophie more highly—truly a five-star experience!” — Madhu Vasdev, Google Review

I come out looking and feeling my best!

“Abi is amazing, she makes me feel so comfortable during the appointment, and I come out looking and feeling my best! The work is always so good, and there’s a good vibe in the salon!” — Freya, Google Review

5. Grace and Beauty

Phone: +44 113 345 1870
Business hours:

  • Tuesday: 9:30 AM–5:30 PM
  • Wed – Fri: 9 AM–8 PM
  • Saturday: 9 AM–5 PM

Website 

Grace and Beauty was founded by Kimberley, who wants to help women just unplug and recharge.

Since they’re known for their facials, I went for their Restorative Ritual—a 90-minute bespoke experience. They use a mix of high-tech tools like the BT blade for deep product penetration with expert massage.

I also tried their BIAB Overlay Plain, a strong builder gel that helps your nails grow while staying natural and chic. It’s a great option if you’re just looking to keep your nails healthy and strong.

While my skin and nails were a total success, I noticed a few other customers online complaining about their massages—something to keep in mind.

If you’re planning a visit, I recommend checking out their online promos and deals first.

Pros

  • Offers a Restorative Ritual
  • Nice BIAB Overlay Plain service
  • Offers online promos and deals

Cons

  • Complaints about their massages

My skin is beautiful and glowing

“I had the LuminFusion facial with Ellie, and I can’t recommend it enough. My skin is beautiful and glowing. Ellie gave me great advice throughout and recommended what skincare would be best suited to my skin. I’ll definitely be booking in regularly.” — Laura Gordon, Google Review

Great facials and great nails

“I found this salon after moving from London and have had an amazing experience every time I visit. The service is amazing, but what makes it the best is the people, Kim and Ellie, and they are fab. Great facials and great nails. Love that they use dermologica. Kim is super knowledgeable, and my skin is still glowing from my last facial. Cannot recommend this salon enough! Treat yourself!” — Kate Mihailovic, Google Review
