Taken me ages to write this as I hate to leave bad reviews but it was truly awful.
Most painful wax I've ever had.
Not sure if they use a different type of wax than I'm used to, but I was thinking of calling it off even at the calves, it was truly agonising.
I was terrified for my labia, felt like they were sustaining genuine harm.
If I had been raised to be more outspoken, I would have stopped the wax and just gone home. I kept thinking I need to stop this before she causes a serious issue, but I didn't dare speak up. I did mention a few times that it was a lot more pain than I was used to with other waxes, I guess that was my subtle way of seeing if she would offer to stop, but I should have been a lot more direct.
My intimate area was covered in swelling and bruising for days after, not ideal for a holiday.
It looked beaten up and abused.
I ended up getting folliculitis all over my bum cheeks and legs, had to rush and find a pharmacist who would sell me antibiotic ointment.
My hair was long but I did ask if I ought to shorten it to an appropriate length, was told no.
It's put me off getting waxed, I can't see myself daring to do it again.
I've never had an issue before, but I don't want to risk harming my body like this again.
Sorry to write a bad review but this cost me so much stress and worry, what with going away covered in infected folliculitis and bruises, and I just need to offer my perspective.
I did take photos but obviously can't add them due to the intimate nature, but trust, it was quite horrifying.
Also another thing I felt quite rushed and ended up with a different wax to the one I had intended on getting when I went in, which was a little disappointing but not the end of the world. I think she just presumed I wanted the most popular one.

Eyebrows their way.

Was looking for a new salon for eyebrows, sadly Inches was not it. When I tried to explain what I wanted and liked, the owner (who was doing my eyebrows) talked all over me and didn't listen. When I asked for a mirror so I could explain, her response was "I don't have a mirror". I was trying to explain that I liked them to be straight rather than arched and was waiting for the hair to grow back. I also said I liked them thin at the ends. Her advice was not to go thin at the ends as it would thin them out (my eyebrows, so if I want them thin, that's my choice). It took a while for her to do them and then she lathered over some white stuff and asked me to take a look in the mirror in the reception area. Why you'd put your clients through the humiliation of looking at their lathered eyebrows in public view is beyond me. She had done exactly the opposite of what I asked....arched and thick at the end. She also started waxing areas of my chin without asking! Finally, she spent time telling me why hot wax was not good...I've been hot waxing my bikini area for 15+ years, and it works for me. It seems this is not a salon that is evolving with the times.

My advice: you should always listen to your clients and try and do what they ask, rather than what you want.

Best in Leeds, hands down. Inches have looked after me and my friends since we were in high school. 9 years later and they have never disappointed us. I wouldn't dare go anywhere else, we are well looked after by Michelle and Natalie.
No judgement at all, just care and love within the salon.

Michelle is amazing.
Waxes thoroughly and professionally.
As a male I don't want to look over-groomed but Michelle finds the right balance and I pay a fair and ethical price
So many salons are over-priced and rip you off but not this one.
I reccomend this place, no complaints.

I normally don't write reviews nor complain but this salon has disappointed me. I've been coming to this salon for almost a year and had great results (with Natalie).
However, i had one wax appointment where skin was coming off and it was red and stingy. I did tell them about it on my next appointment but they said it was skin lifting and I took their word for it. For my next appointment I had my underarm appointment wax thinking it will be fine, like how it normally is, but this time i went home and my armpits were burnt. They were red, swollen and I also had blisters. I could not put my arms down, could not shower and i could not sleep because it was that painful. With this pain i had to message them, hoping that they would be sorry but instead they were rude and basically blamed it on me when i did nothing but apply savlon and when i replied back, they didn't responded. Unacceptable and rude service from them! I had to postpone my trip to Scotland because of the pain.
