Pamper at Selfridges

Scruffy to fabulous in an hour? Impossible.

Or so I thought; in actual fact the clever girls at Groom have got the entire process down to a tee, offering a range of comprehensive one-hour services that promise to leave you buffed, cleansed, sharp and shiny.

Groom, a neat little salon in Selfridges, is my new favourite find, offering a range of manicures, pedicures, waxing and tweezing, facials and massages all delivered by one or two therapists working on you together over the course of an hour.

The Groom Weekly treatment, for instance, includes a manicure, pedicure, back and neck massage, eyebrow tidy and facial. The two girls start at either ends, as it were, one working on your feet, the other doing the facial. About 20-minutes into the session you then get a massage, one working on your neck and shoulders, the other massaging your feet and legs – heavenly. After this the pedicure is finished off, the eyebrows tweezed and the facial completed. From here the girls move to each of your hands and do your manicure together.

Not only is this an efficient service, it’s also relaxing, friendly and top quality. The facial is the best I’ve had and I left feeling cleansed and relaxed.

Prices start at about £85 for an hour’s treatment, but for that you get at least three and sometimes five treatments, which is a  pretty good deal.

Sanctuary’s amazing bath soaks, body scrubs and moisturisers are still some of the most delicious smelling we’ve come across – their Kyphi range with sacred lotus oil, sandalwood and vanilla is a particularly special treat.
