Having a good massage is such an enlightening experience. When your muscle-pain and tension goes, your emotional stress eases away. All massages are tailored to each individual's physical and emotional requirements using organic plant oils. You will receive full consultation and a lifestyle questionnaire before starting a session; then oil will be chosen according to individual needs.
I've been visiting Yuko for a number of years and would not consider going anywhere else now. She is excellent as she is very sensitive and instinctive in her work. Her cheerful personality also puts you at ease and every treatment is a pleasure. Yuko Takamura is a highly gifted lady whose healing hands have soothed, calmed and relaxed me through hectic work schedules and the ups downs of life.
With an intimate treatment like Hollywood and Brazilian wax, you have to feel safe and comfortable, so you have to make sure your therapist is highly experienced and confident.

Breathing technique is also introduced during the treatment to harmonise the whole body. Moroccan Argan oil is the main ingredient of this treatment, it is organic and cold-pressed at source within 24hrs of picking for maximum quality.

As someone who has not had a wax before, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! Yuko was really lovely and put me at ease right away. The treatment itself was also very tolerable, however i do feel Yuko's amazing personality and extensive experience helped this. I hope to be back again in the future!

Incredible deep massage! Yuko was very welcoming and friendly when I arrived and continued with a warm, caring disposition throughout the beautiful massage. I had some backache and honestly felt like Yuko was doing her best to work out all the little (or large haha) knots she found there. Would reccommend 100%

I have lived in Brighton for over two years now and have been going to Yuko for waxing from the beginning. Before living here I had been to numerous different salons and private therapists (having had some bad experiences along the way) and can genuinely say that I am always happy with the treatments from Yuko and that she is the best therapist I have experienced. She has a kind, warm, helpful and extremely friendly manner and I always feel completely comfortable in her presence. Her professional skill is exceptional and I could tell from my first wax with her that she knew exactly what she was

Best wax experience ever. I had to change my appointment 3 times and each time she was super easy to work with. So friendly and warm made the whole process super comfortable. I have had some horrible waxing experiences, and some good ones but this was by far the best. She even managed to clean my eyebrows up without having to make another appointment. I will only be going to yuko from now on and I highly highly recommend to ANYONE!

I was very lucky to have found Yuko well over 3 years ago now, and haven't looked back. On the odd occasion (for various reasons) that I've had to visit other therapists/salons, I found the experience to be so impersonal, unfriendlywith stone faced therapists, that I'd never want to go anywhere else again.
When visiting Yuko you don't just get the service you booked, but a super warm, considerate and genuine person with lots of friendly conversation.
I've introduced and recommended all of my friends to Yuko; one friend in particular that was previously hesitant of waxing is now an avid fan thanks

I have been treated by Yuko for years now and can honestly say its the best waxing experience I have had anywhere. So good, that I have recommended her to many of my friends who are now also regular customers.
I always feel amazing when I leave her and I regularly have a brow tint and shape.... and compliments have ranged from 'you look younger' to 'have you have a facelift'!
Yuko has made me look and feel fab on my wedding day, on holidays and even in the labour ward - she is awesome. Can not recommend her enough.
