I wouldn't say I am a particularly girly person. I am not massively into beauty - mainly because I just don't have the time. My nails have seen better days, and the last time I went to the hairdressers was probably somewhere circa 2009. I loathe getting into the hairdressers chair and have them ask the dreaded question "so when did you last get your hair done" and have them visibly step back in horror at the answer I sheepishly give.
Well, with that sort of salon in mind, I have also been a bit wary of paying to spend a bit of me time in a Spa or Salon. So I was quite excited, but also a little cautiously apprehensive when my friend Lisa Pearson aka The Mummy Whisperer told me that she was opening a new salon and spa in Radlett. Knowing the lovely, friendly person that she is, and her vision to help women to look and feel good, I felt certain that the kind of Salon she opened up would be welcoming, friendly, and a place which makes women feel comfortable, and where they leave feeling fantastic.
Espiritu Salon and Spa, which is set in Battlers Green Farm, Radlett, does not fail to disappoint as a salon which is a bit different to what else is available locally. The salon offers both beauty treatments and hairdressing services. They also offer holistic therapies. Espiritu uses completely natural, organic products, which means that your body is not being exposed to any nasty chemicals or toxins when you visit.

Having heard good things about the staff Lisa hired, I decided to bite the bullet and get my hair done. Pre-children I had highlights in my hair, and I wanted to get them put back in. My hair also needed a good cut having not been cut in a while (when do Mum's have time to cut their hair???). I booked in with Jo - a local stylist who used to work for a Salon I have visited before. Still a little apprehensive, I described what I wanted and she immediately understood. I felt very safe in her hands and her friendly manner really put me at ease. Having had highlights before, I know what a tedious, time-consuming process it can be, but I have to say, Jo was the fastest person I have ever known to do highlights. Her hands moved like lightning and pretty soon I was sitting under the dryer, waiting for the colour to take hold. My hair was soon washed and cut, and Jo spent time blow-drying it into a great style.

After my fantastic hair treatment, Lisa asked if I would like to try a Reflexology treatment with the lovely Mandy. Reflexology is a system of massaging the feet in order to relieve tension and treat illnesses. I had never tried Reflexology before, but knew about it and had heard good things about it.

Mandy is especially experienced in Reflexology for women trying to conceive, and during pregnancy, so I would definitely recommend a visit to her for pregnancy-related conditions.
I would also recommend a visit to Mel for reflexology and EFT - she is also a great therapist.
Espiritu Salon and Spa is a fantastic place, It makes you feel relaxed and comfortable, and there is a range of treatments on offer - Hair cuts and colour, Nails, Waxing, Threading, Facials, Massage, Reflexology, Head Massage, Reiki, and more!!
Do go and make a visit to Espiritu Spa and Salon and book a treatment - you won't regret it!
Christmas Donations
Espiritu Salon and Spa are also very community minded. This Christmas, the salon is supporting Homestart Watford and Three Rivers. Homestart is a voluntary organisation which promotes the welfare of families with at least one child under five. Underneath their salon Christmas Tree, Espiritu will be collecting Christmas Presents for families with a child under five years old. If you are able to donate a present for a child under five, please do consider dropping one off at Espiritu if you are able.
It's easy to donate all you need to do is:
1) Wrap a present suitable for a child under five.
2) Label the present "girl" or "boy" - depending on who the gift is most suitable for
3) State the age of the child the present is most suitable for.
4) Drop off to the salon and spa at Battlers Green Farm, Radlett
Please deliver before December 13th 2013 if you can.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary Reflexology treatment in consideration for review, but even if I had paid for my treatment, I would still be writing this post to tell you all about this new fantastic place!
Thank you so much for your lovely review Clare, especially for mentioning our Homestart scheme - really appreciate it!
