Services
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is quicker and cheaper than laser hair removal, but just as effective at permanent hair reduction. Prior to treatment the area is shaved before a thin layer of protective gel (similar to that used in ultrasound) is applied to maximise absorption. The IPL wand is then run over the area and a succession of light pulses is filtered into the hair follicles.
Electrolysis hair removal is suitable for many people, but often requires a long term commitment. It has been available for many years and is the most effective permanent hair removal method. Electrolysis is often the best solution for facial hair. A fine, hair-thin, flexible needle is inserted into each hair follicle.
Warm wax is applied to the skin and removed with a fabric strip which is pressed onto the area, and then removed in a quick motion. I offer male waxing of the back, neck and shoulders only, and female waxing including the bikini area such as Brazilian wax and Hollywood wax. I do not carry out male intimate waxing.
I have been going to Eleanor for a couple of years for various treatments, she is very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the treatments she offers. She is always friendly and accommodating. It is a relaxing and clean environment and I am happy to recommend her to any of my friends. I have been seeing Eleanor for nearly a year now.

I have been having ILP/Electrolysis treatment with Eleanor for just over a year now and I am having amazing results. The hair growth in the treated areas is massively reduced and in some areas the hair does not grow back at all anymore. Very professional service and good value for money, definitely would recommend.

Having been a client of Eleanor's for several years, i thoroughly recommend her as she provides an excellent service. She is knowledgeable & inexperienced & delivers great results. She has an ability to put people at ease with her warm & caring manner, always showing genuine interest in you as an individual.

I can't recall how many years I have been visiting Eleanor, but almost a decade. Suffice to say I am highly satisfied with the experience! Eleanor has always been/is very welcoming and polite and always accommodating with appointments which is helpful as I am a shift worker. My sessions (male waxing) are generally around 20-30 minutes but can sometimes depend on what we're chatting about! More often than not the occasional and inevitable twinge of hair removal is glossed over by whatever subject we are discussing. My girlfriend and members of her family have also been treated by Eleanor in the

I have had a very positive experience with Eleanor with some excellent results. Eleanor has a fantastic knowledge of hair removal and can tell you honestly the most suitable treatment, course length and it's chance of long term success. The prices are very reasonable. I have small children and so Eleanor has been very flexible with her hours so she can see me. I wasn't keen on going to a salon and at Eleanor's the feel is more a home away from home. I would and have recommended Eleanor and I wouldn't do that lightly knowing how much this means to me and how conscious I was about it.

Very poor service.The room was smelly and dirty. There was dust and hairs everywhere from floor to window. I was supposed to complete an hour session and only lasted 20min due to having an allergic reaction to the dust. She’s also not very professional as in I had to text her several times to confirm the appointment and to get the address because every time we spoke on the phone she’d say that she would send me all the details when she wouldn’t. Overall an bad experience which has clearly put me off due to the reasons stated above. She’s also not very nice and her words are nothing but
