Cheap beauty therapy

Have just emailed my local college Weston Super Mare to see if they do this type of thing. Will let you know.

Just come home after the facial at the college. It was divine!! The therapist was really good at telling me what she was doing, and it seems as professional as any of the facials I have had in any number of salons over the years.

The good (yes it gets even better) news was that they were having a special promotion to increase their client base and everything was half price!! So I have booked for another facial and an eyelash tint!!! I feel like a princess - being able to have some many treatments ....

Jellycat, btw, when I emailed the college, I had a look for the course tutor for the beauty therapy course and emailed her rather than the general email address of the college as I thought would have a better chance of getting a reply.

Hi

I have found my local college and its under 3 miles away:eek: dont know yet if they offer treatments and haircuts etc as they are now closed but will call in the morning.

Any of you got any rough prices at colleges for:

Massage
Facial
Manicure
Eye Brows tweezered...ouch
Legs Waxed
Pedicure
Cut & Blowdry

Im going to try and find their website as Ive just gone through Floodlight.

Great thread OP. I dont get out much and dont have the money to treat myself to the above as I used to, but if prices are cheap then maybe I can have a couple of treats a month.

Thanks

Hi

I managed to get through to the college on the beauty line and costs are as follows:

Nail Extensions Full set-£10
Parafin Wax manicure-£6
Manicure with hand/arm massage-£5
Pedicure with leg/foot massage-£6
Facial-£7
Full leg wax-£4
Half leg-£2
Lip Wax-£2
Dermalogica deluxe facial -£10
Parafin Wax facial-£6
Eyebrow tint and shape-£6.50
Full body massage £7
Back Massage-£4.50
Aromatherapy Full body massage-£10
As above but just back-£4.50
Reflexology-£7
Indian Head massage-£7
Wash/cut/blowdry-£5:eek:
Wash/Cut/Foils/Blowdry-£12 around here normally £80+

These are fab prices. I like the sound of the facial/manicure and pedicure=£18. Im booked for my hair being cut the middle of feb, and pay £27 for a junior locally but as I have short cropped hair anyway, think I will give the college a go at £5 and put the rest towards a few treatments:D

What a fantastic thread! I had no idea that colleges did this. I have just phoned my local college and they do it too. I love pampering sessions but can't usually justify the cost so only indulge if given it as a birthday/christmas gift. Many thanks to the OP.

I live at the local college beauty centre!

No seriously I do! I am a case study so its even cheaper, the only downside is the noise, and some of the girls are better than others, have had a few hair disasters, but apart from that!

Fantastic idea. Going to see if my local college - Craven College -do it, sure they do. My partner is going to go ask for a price list as I can't find a webpage or any details online
