On hearing of these wonderful ‘Jewel Packages’, I knew I had to get someone to try it out!  A friend was lucky enough to sample the Pearl Package (£110) and was truly delighted with it all.  This package capture’s the true lustre of the ocean’s most precious jewel, leaving you glowing with classic elegance.  It includes the following:-
• Blow-dry
• Custom manicure
• Makeup Application with the Daniel Sandler Team
• Glass of Champagne

Here is what she said:-

“On entering Urban Retreat, it really was a fabulous salon – A true Retreat in the middle of Urban London.  James was waiting for me for a wash and blow-dry. He gave me a very good wash and the most wonderful blow dry I’ve ever had.  He used large rollers to ensure full body – it was the best blow dry I have ever had. The end result was my hair was full bodied, bouncy and beautiful.

A delightful girl Jenni arrived to do my manicure. I had a cut, file, moisturise, soak, cuticles, buff, base coat, two colour coats and a top coat. At the last minute one of my nails had a very small hair on it, so she started from scratch again on that nail. I commented that it was ok, but she said it had to be perfect! Included was a hand and lower arm massage – all very nice!

I then moved on to have my make up done. I’ve never had my make up done for me before, so I was a little bit apprehensive! Adel was lovely – gentle and friendly. She asked and I explained that I prefer the natural look. She explained every action – foundation, concealer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blusher, lipstick and gloss.

Overall, I found the whole experience wonderful.  I left the Urban Retreat feeling like Pretty Woman – my hair was bouncy and beautiful, my nails were buffed and gorgeous and my make-up was a real treat – I felt great.  The staff were gentle and friendly, helpful and attentive, thorough, professional and polished.  I was told the complete package would take 1 hour 15 minutes – in fact it took 1 hour 40 minutes, which shows that each person took their time to do a good job. There was a really nice atmosphere – very buzzing and happy.”
