But non-members are


also welcome — but do remember, this is a ladies only club!


The leisure suite is also


available for private hire. Does alT this sound just


too good to be true? I decided to pay a visit to the club to find out first hand just what it had to offer. Owner Christine Lester


greeted me and guided me round the facilities on


offer. Suitably impressed, I


decided to start my visit with a session on the sunbed. Thirty minutes of bliss, reclining in an indi­ vidual cubicle for extra privacy, dreaming of a sun-kissed beach.


After a quick shower I


took a quick, but invi­ gorating dip in the luxury spa bath before finally heading off for the steam room — a wonderful way to deep cleanse the pores of the skin and let the stresses and strains of everyday life just float away.

beckoned invitingly when the time came to cool off. From the comfort of my

explains: “ We have found the computer to be a tremendous con­ sultation tool, which helps to take the fear away from clients who are considering any major changes to then- hair. “ It gives them the


ability to see the style, prior to having then- hair cut, coloured, or permed.” As the Robert Bran­


non salon nears its first anniversary, the staff have come to the understanding that the most important feature of hairdressing in the 90’s- is conditioning and they are more than willing to advise the many clients who ask them, about this aspect of hair care. “Today’s look is cer­ tainly more to do with


The salon recognise


that customers are demanding more artis­ tic styles than ever before and much higher standards, and commit­ ment and enthusiasm are the two values which rank highest with the Robert Bran­ non hairdressers, who are dedicated to giving their best. M r B r a n n o n explains: “Although the cut is always a priority, the hair design still has to have that polished look, which involves the artistry of the hair­ dresser at the highest standards and that is what our stylists can provide. “We are always look­


ing for new ideas and inventing fresh looks. We don’t only follow the paths of the hair­ dressing market, we also strive to create ideas within- our own team. “After my.21 years


of experience, it is refreshing to work with a team of people, who truly know what the word p ro fe s s ion a l means” .

lounger I was able to order a drink while flick­ ing through a couple of magazines and really lose myself in the relaxing atmosphere. Nothing is too much


touble for ladies at the Spa as you will find out when you pay them a visit. My advice to ladies of all


ages and sizes is go on and treat yourself — take the time to indulge yourself in this haven of luxury. I know I certainly left


the spa feeling cleansed, pampered, relaxed and ready to take on the world! • And the Spa has an ideal present as a stocking filler this Christmas — a Spa Health and Beauty Club gift voucher, with prices starting from £5. The voucher allows the
