The area
Address
Neighborhood: West End
Prevailing winds meant that most cities that grew in industrial Britain had their most desirable neighborhoods to the west – upwind of factory fumes. Edinburgh was no exception, with its wealthiest citizens settling in its West End and leaving behind grand Georgian townhouses, private gardens and genteel crescents. These backstreets remain as dignified and sleepy as ever, and most of the action here lies along the district’s busy main roads. Lothian Road connects to southern Edinburgh and harbors a vague entertainment district: three theaters and the city’s main indie cinema. All attract a select crowd, the sort who appreciate the Saturday Edinburgh’s Farmers’ Market around the corner. The West End’s other great thoroughfare, Shandwick Place, is dominated by trams trundling out to the suburbs and airport, and shoppers picking up last-minute items before hopping aboard.

I went here for waxing and a massage and I was really impressed with the quality of service. The staff were really accommodating when I was booking the appointment. The therapist who took care of me was really professional, friendly and clearly highly experienced. I would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely go back.

I've visited the Secret Beauty Garden a few times now and the service is always first class! From the text reminder of your appointment the day before your visit, to the welcome at reception and then your treatment with the beautician - a fantastic experience and consistent with every visit. Always a pleasure to visit.

I called at short notice to have some waxing done I had never been before. The girl on the front desk was very friendly & welcoming. Then my therapist came through her name was Zoe and she was excellent, I would go back and I would ask for Zoe!
Not a place you might pass but if you find it you wont be dissapointed

Started having facials when they were at their previous location and continued to enjoy luxury facials at the premises they are in now. Love the relaxing atmosphere with the dim lighting and soft music which makes me so relaxed I almost fall asleep.
Emma is a very friendly and experienced beautician. Don't know if I look any younger after the age defying facials each month but defiantly more relaxed and always an enjoyable experience.

The girls at The Secret Beauty Garden are amazing. So this is one of the easiest reviews to leave...
I am a real stickler at trying new things. Especially, massage treatments. For me its such a leap of faith going into a new place and a new surrounding with new people and to do this for massages, its a pretty personal experience so i kept putting it off.
Laura and her girls, from the very 1st second, made me feel at ease. They are naturally welcoming and warm. Caring from the very start.
Add the girls to a well laid out reception and seperate studio rooms. I was sure I was about to enjoy my treatment. And I was amazed at the result.
Ive had massages before and this was simply off the chart; the best. Laura clearly knows her stuff.
The Secret Beauty Garden is a proper oasis in a city where life always just "gets in the way".
If you need some "me time" or you know someone who does. I cant recommend Laura and her girls anymore than i already have.
Will I be back?. Absoultly.
Have i been paid to leave this? no. (But i should of been...)
Thank you all at The Secret Beauty Garden.

As someone who was never into beauty therapies or spending money on myself I was a bit nervous and not sure what to expect on my first visit.
A friend of mine had recommended The Secret Beauty Garden saying they were really laid back and friendly so I decided to give them a try.
I could not of been more pleased!
I'm now a regular customer, I get my lashes and waxing done here and honestly from the ambiance of the place, to the prices, to the staff and satisfaction with the results everything is five stars.
Personally I was most pleased with the friendly staff, everyone I have spoken to here is so helpful and kind. They offer great advice without judgment or making you feel silly for not knowing all the beauty stuff.
They've really helped me to feel more confident in myself.

i had to create a trip advisor account for this as this place is magic.
i am disabled and in a wheelchair as i had points with Tesco i decided to treat myself to a 1h full body remedial massage and 1h facial. For the disabled person wondering i have full sensation). Kim's work is absolutely phenomenal, i have never felt so good i previously had sport massage for my back due to wheeling so i knew it would do me good, but i was really surprise on the effect it would have on my legs ( they feel totally different in a good way), the facial was great and really completed my relaxation. i have never so relax in my life. this place is a pure blessing and i would recommend it to everyone. the staff is so nice. Don't hesitate and book! ( i wish i did it sooner)

I happened upon the salon as I walked up to the Conference Centre. Laura Taylor did my nails, paid the greatest attention to detail. The salon is clean and welcoming as are the people. I am sorry I won't be in Edinburgh long enough to go there for a facial and a massage ... It is in my list for my next trip
