The area
Address
Neighborhood: New Town
Suits and shopping bags rule the streets of New Town, until after dark when strappy dresses come out to play. This is the city’s central business district with its smaller offices, clothes boutiques, and many of the city’s flashiest restaurants and ritziest clubs. The architecture along roads like George Street helps give it a swank and formal feel: it’s a planned Georgian development of regal townhouses, geometric squares, and self-important statues. But it’s also a very wanderable neighborhood, with a healthy bustle at almost any time of day and fine people-watching in places like St Andrew's Square which fills with picnickers around lunch. You’ll also find a series of cheerful basement bistros on Hanover Street, while dark Rose Street has something of the feel of an undiscovered back alley and is chock-full of characterful pubs and small independent shops.

- Drf10naEdinburgh, United Kingdom50 contributionsIPL facial with Jen was marvellousI have had two IPL facials with Jen, and I would really highly recommend the treatment, in Jen’s expert hands. It is not a relaxing or indulgent sort of treatment, but high-tech, and I saw excellent results after the first one. I suspect I will continue to have them at intervals when my skin looks pigmented and uneven. It’s not the sort of treatment I would have unless I had confidence I was in good hands, and Jen was marvellous. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable, and skilled with the procedure. Really worth the money.Visited November 2020Written December 27, 2020
- Lvnk1965Edinburgh, United Kingdom5 contributionsAn excellent experience!Excellent service by Aga - well worth the money for the illuminate you package and would pay full price. Have recommended to friends (and anyone who will listen!) about how good it was and my skin feels amazing. Went at the same time with a friend who had the same treatment with a different therapist and said it was just as good. Have been a customer at the other salons and don’t think I’ve ever had a bad treatment. Have rebooked and cannot recommend highly enough!Visited January 2022Traveled soloWritten January 20, 2022
- Annie8 contributionsAmazing Priori facialVisited the salon today for a long-awaited priori facial and it was well worth the wait! Eden, (the therapist) “thank you for a great natter and relaxing treatment” ( difficult to get that balance, but you did 😘). This salon is fantastic and I say this as a lady who seeks out instant result facials and Zen never fails to deliver! I live in Essex and when coming home to Scotland I crave a great facial and Zen is the place! Thank you for the lovely experience and instant results. One of the best salons or THEE best salons for facials, I’ve experienced in the UK.Hello, Thank you for this amazing review of our salon, I will be sure to pass this onto Eden. We look forward to seeing you in the salon again for a facial!

Expensive service and regrettably inflexible when it comes to cancellations and issues outside of a customer’s control.

I love attending my Zen appointments, the staff have the uncanny ability of making each client feel like the only client. Treatments I have received over the years have always been excellent and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Caroline

Have been to the spa twice and the staff are so friendly and professional
Nails are done to a good standard though have had a couple of chips but more my fault than theirs
The rooms for treatments is so lovely, much nicer than the rooms in other spas in town
Well worth a visit and the wee bit extra cost is worth it

Had shellac manicure and pedicure - love the pedicure as you are actually sitting on a bed (with magazines and coffee) - so relaxing and my pampered feet look so much better than when I arrive.

I usually get the same girl every time but occasionally get someone different and usually I would be nervous about this but they all make you feel at ease and are so quick and efficient at their job! Definitely recommend

The massage was very relaxing and my muscles felt so much better afterwards. The room was cosy and the bed warm and comfortable. The masseur was so pleasant and made the experience very relaxing.

What qualifications do your staff have with Lazer hair removal?
SalonManager
Edinburgh, UK
Thanks for your question. We offer IPL hair removal which is very similar to laser but with a slightly different wavelength of light. The therapists who perform this treatment are qualified to a minimum of NVQ/SVQ Level in beauty therapy and have then been trained and certified for IPL hair removal by the original equipment manufacturer. All our IPL practitioners are insured for this treatment.
Kind regards, Team Zen!
