In need of a pedicure before my Paris
trip I did the usual, and asked all the girls in the office where to go near
work (which is one way of me saying, this is not a review of something I got
free).
The overwhelming response was Cheeky
Parlour, Cowshed’s trendy little sister who have recently opened at the Hoxton
Hotel, just down the road from Holborn tube station. You can make an appointment quickly on line or
just give them a call and there are also walk-in appointments available.
You can go to the parlour on your own
or book in with friends and they offer manicure, pedicure and makeup services,
there is also the opportunity to have a nice glass of wine while you relax.
It has similar vibe to a trendy
Shoreditch bar or café, with a hipster warehouse style and shabby chic
furniture with pink neon light up lips and flamingos.
I had the Toe Shine Pedicure and at just £26.00 I thought
wow, what a bargain for central London.
It is a full pedicure and includes a file and shape, all cuticle work,
buff, soften and smooth hard calloused skin, exfoliate, moisturise with foot
massage and obviously the nail paint with your choice of Cheeky colour.
My manicurist was quiet but friendly, which left me ample
time to have a much needed disco nap!
She did check with me at each stage to make sure I was OK with shape of
nails, colour, heat of water etc. which I appreciated as while I am not that
picky when I know the manicurist knows her stuff, obviously some people are,
and I thought it was good that this was done as standard.
I went for one of Cheeky’s bright red nail varnishes, I
believe it was called American Hot and was applied really well; every nail is
absolutely pristine and now, over a week later, looks exactly the same. Time and care are taken and then you are sat
under a foot dryer to make sure the polish has fully set before they say you
are OK to put on your shoes and leave.
I will definitely revisit Cheeky Holborn next time I need a fancy
pedicure (I do my own normally to save money). It’s the perfect place to pop in at lunchtime
or after work for a pre-night out or holiday mani or pedi.
