Reviews of The Sanctuary Botley

K. P.

I was gifted a hot stone massage with Marie. Because appointments were running slightly over, I was treated to a complimentary nail treatment. Each member of the team were so kind and attentive. My Hot Stone body massage and facial was so relaxing and Marie made me feel so at ease. I left feeling thoroughly pampered and like the most valued woman in the world! Such a beautiful and caring team. I can't want to go back for another treatment soon.

K. M.

Thank you so much, it was honestly a really really wonderful massage with Beth. Very relaxing but also getting out lots of knots and stresses, especially in my shoulders. I felt very cared for, thank you. I’m looking forward to coming back soon - thank you! 😄 also popped along after to get a lovely hot chocolate from Mermaids of Botley to take away, just a few steps down the street. What a lovely morning ☺️

J. C.

Emily was so profession are both my first and top up appointments. She listened to what I wanted and I trusted her with my brows. I’m so glad I did, because the results are amazing!! She truly knows what she’s doing. We’re still in the healing phase but I can’t wait to see my final results. Emily has been so supportive, any concerns I’ve had I’ve been able to speak to her and she’s reassured me. I would recommend everyone to get microblading done and send them straight to Emily!!

L. M.

I had the lip blush treatment by Emily and I absolutely love it! Emily is very professional, makes recommendations based on what she thinks will suit you in terms of colour and style, and talks you through the process step by step! I’m obsessed with how they turned out and love having a permanent tint on my lips that make them look fuller and more defined. Thank you Emily!

B. V.

Marie pierced my daughter's ears and was excellent. She put her at ease, spoke to her and took time to listen to what she had to say. The whole experience was positive for my daughter, she felt very special and now has developed a love of visiting The Sanctuary! Thank you Marie and the team.

M. W.

Beth was excellent today. The treatment was just what I needed to give me a little pick me up! The products smelt amazing and the face and scalp massage were so relaxing. Thank you for the lovely 30 minutes of me time!

M. K.

I had a luxury shellac manicure with Beth on Saturday! It was wonderful and having visited Beth a few times now, it’s wonderful to have seen her confidence grow! This growth in confidence is reflected in my beautiful nails ❤️ Thank you, Beth!

c. c.

Another incredible massage today from Beth, been going here for 2 months now and Laura has such an amazing team, so friendly and outgoing. You can’t help but leave The Sanctuary with a smile on your face. Highly recommend them.

L. C.

The therapist hasn't been on time in three visits, which I find challenging as I have missed another appointment as a result. Otherwise, the treatment has been brilliant and the reception staff are lovely. Booking system easy.

A. M.

Very friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The back shoulder and neck massage i had was probably my best ever, Beth knew exactly what she was doing and applied just the right amount of pressure. Superb experience all round.

M. D.

Bianca has done my waxing a couple of times now and always makes me feel so comfortable , she is very easy to talk to and takes a lot of pride in her work, shes brilliant at what she does and i wouldnt go to anyone else now. Highly recommend

E. H.

What an amazingly talented woman!!! I felt at ease straight away because Emily is so beautiful and friendly and my brows….I literally love them!!! I feel like a new person so Thankyou honey 😘 xxx

K. E.

Beautiful salon and lovely staff who work here. My daughter got her ears pierced and the lady who did them was so kind and patient. 5 star review 💛

M. S.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Having moved to the area and having to find trusted places all over again I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this gem of a place early on. All staff members are friendly, knowledgable and welcoming. Treatments are great and use an amazing set of products and the atmosphere is perfect for a bit of R&R 🙌🏼 10/10

C. D.

Loved it. The staff were fantastic, I love my nails and literally could’ve stayed all evening. I’m already looking at what treatment to have next. Can’t wait to return!

My treatment was soooo good - I didn't want it to end! Beth is amazingly kind and gentle. I'd recommend her to anyone.

K. D.

Marie was brilliant! She was friendly and professional, going above and beyond to get me wedding ready. I had a fab salon experience.

J. H.

I saw Beth for a back, neck, shoulder and scalp massage and it was one of the best massages I've ever had! Firm but relaxing, can't wait to go back 😊

j. W.

Lovely experience. Warm welcoming staff, was put at ease. Someone who suffers anxiety and social phobia, like myself, was left wanting to return. A sanctuary in every sense of the word Thank you so much x I had reflexology today from Caroline 10/10 professional, knowledgeable, with a deep belief in her craft. All colleagues were lovely, money well spent xx

Bianca, the nails queen 💅🏻 Has once again done a beautiful job of my gel manicure. She always does such a thorough job sorting out my cuticles and shaping my nails exactly as I like them. I’ve had lots of compliments already 🥰

C. F.

Such a friendly welcome from Laura. So open and kind. Definition of a ‘sanctuary’. Superb service and the wax results are top notch too! Over the moon. Thank you 🙏

The BEST pedicure, leg wax & Brow tint with Bianca today. She really is the best therapist & a lovely person but all the team at The Sanctuary are! With things like they are it’s such a pleasure to go to a great local business & be looked after so well but also see lovely people you like. Highly recommend

S. C.

My daughter had her 2nds done. Extremely professional. My other daughter had her ears pierced several years ago but has recently encountered problems and infections. Marie was very sweet with her, examined the ear and gave her good advice. Top class service. Highly recommend.

M. E.

Emily is just awesome - so professional! My brows look perfect and I am so happy with them. Emily put me at ease and ensured i was relaxed throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend her enough!

D. W.

My 2nd massage with marie and it was very relaxing, I have very painful shoulders and came away feeling as if a weight had lifted from my shoulders. Everyone deserves a bit of bliss...

N. S.

Kat was very friendly and professional. I felt she gave me advice regarding a vitamin injection based on my individual requirements. Very personable and I would definitely recommend her services. Also easy online booking system and ladies working there are lovely. Cosy vibe.

S. C.

I had the most amazing facial from Beth. The back, neck and shoulder massage was incredible and was something I was not expecting to be included in the treatment. I felt completely reenergised afterwards and can’t wait for my next one. Thanks again Beth I feel like a new woman!

s. C.

Took my little 6yr old niece here , she absolutely loved it. The beautician was great with her. Massive thank you

P. D.

Ah I love this place! Small, snug and cosy - the ladies are lovely and I always come out with the best eyebrows around! I’ve even converted my 76 year old mum to go for eyebrow waxing!! Great little website to book online too. It’s opposite the pub so if you are with someone else who gets bored they can wait in there 🤣

V. N.

Marie was fantastic, very relaxing and very informative. Looking forward to my next hot stones massage.

A. M.

Brought my daughter in for her earing check up and to change her earrings. Excellent service , bianca was amazing and made her feel at ease. I love this after care service after ear piercing. Not many places offer this xxx Many thanks 😊

N. s.

First time with Beth today, I absolutely love them. The colour is amazing and I love the shape 😍

L. T.

Lovely hair cut, friendly staff and reception welcoming.

A. C.

Thank you I am in love with my new brows. Emily is absolutely amazing. I arrived terribly early as I saw road works along the way I did not want to be late. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. But most of all my eyebrows are perfect. Thank you so much Emily.

C. K.

My first time visiting, initially for a deep massage as had a painful back and booked for brows at same time. Very good first impression walking into salon and the greeting on both phone to make appointment and entering was excellent. Very impressed with Marie's treatment and knowledge and have no hesitation in going back, it was a lovely experience

j. j.

I am so impressed with the visit today. My friend recommend this place. I have had a facial and full body massage with hot stone. I also had a gel manicure (my friend brought it as a treat for me). The staff very punctual and spend all time concentrated with the treatment. The whole experience was out of my expectations - excellent. I enjoyed the minute from entered into the shop till finished. The shop is so beautiful, relax and very clean. The treatment itself is the key and I loved it. They used good quality products, smells so natural and my face looks so glory after the facial. Chelsea the therapist is very skillful and fully understood my requirements and I felt so relaxed after the massage. She concentrated on the problem areas. I am totally satisfied. I had a little surprised as my friend treated me a gel manicure. The nails looks absolutely perfect afterward. Sorry I forgot the lady who did my nails, she put so much details on my cuticles and she did it so smoothly. My conclusion is: 100% worth to give a try. You won't regret it.

P. W.

David my consultant was brilliant talked me through what we were going to do, very clear and professional, excellent

C. S.

Marie was yet again really patient, calm and reassuring with my daughter who had a piercing check up. Would highly recommend, the service was excellent all the way though.

L. D.

Having never had any treatments on my face before I decided after 12 awful months of Covid and home schooling that I deserved a treat. Cue a post from The Sanctuary with an offer for Dermaplaning. Chelsea talked my through the treatment before we started. All I can say is what a great treatment. My skin now feels really smooth and ever so soft. I also found it very relaxing. Will definitely be something I do again.
