Appleonia Beauty Studio
We are a small and friendly beauty studio, located on the village green of London Colney, minutes from the centre of St Albans. Previously we were located in the village of Park Street. The Studio can be found facing the High Street behind the white railings as the road crosses the River Colne. As an established business we cater for clients living in the village as well as those living in and around central St Albans.

Over a 25 year period, Appleonia Beauty Studio has grown from an acorn into an oak tree. Today, Appleonia lives on in its new form and riverside location. Thriving successfully and continuing to attract new and loyal clients alike. The Studio maintains a fresh approach to the hands on face and body maintenance treatments and continues to pamper the mind and the soul with its range of holistic therapies.

During the summer of 1995, Appleonia Health and Beauty Studio was born into the village of Park Street near St Albans by Joanne Hammond. We started as a one room salon grew to five treatment rooms, returning to one treatment room and now operating from London Colney. This move has allowed us to offer a more relaxed one-to-one treatment for all our customers.
Temple Spa is the award winning, total lifestyle brand that fuses together product, philosophy and spa. Their award winning, anti-ageing skincare products are sold in Harrods and across the world, and are much loved by top beauty editors. The best way to experience Temple Spa is to try it. So I have set up the opportunity to sample the gorgeous skincare products through a Skin Therapy Class.
All of our Dermalogica facial treatments are listed below for when things return to normal and you can book some lovely relaxing treatments with us. In the meantime, why not treat yourself to some lovely Dermalogica products to maintain the health of your skin at home. Give your skin a revilatising power boost with this treatment facial.
We only use the best products at Appleonia, which you can buy in the Studio or also in my online stores. We use Dermalogica products as they are really focused on giving you healthy skin. Plus it's really important to us that they have been around for over 20 years, so they know what they are talking about.
Please take the time to read our reviews here, or why not see what people have said on Facebook and maybe leave a review yourself? My son bought me my first massage with Jo and I was hooked and have been attending regularly ever since. I truly can't recommend her enough on all levels. Unequivocally 5 star.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Jo had a wonderful manner, was polite, informative and comforting (which for my first ever massage, was very well received!). The service provided was incredibly professional, phenomenal value and far exceeded my expectations.

Jo and her incredible aromatherpy massage sessions have been so vital for the wellbeing of both my physical and mental health during the difficulties of this pandemic. She really pays attention to her clients and is very skilled and knowledgable. She treats me as a valued customer and also a friend. 11/10 would recommend her services to everyone! 💚

My massages with Jo are a little piece of heaven. Best massages I’ve ever had, Jo is extremely knowledgeable on how massaging certain areas can help to relieve pain as well as in using essential oils. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have been a receptionist in the past and a client of Joanne’s for many years. I go to Appleonia for pedicures, manicures, massages and other treatments on a regular basis. Jo goes above and beyond the call if time allows. She does many treatments and is an expert at them all. The products she uses are exceptional. The nail varnishes last for ages. This is because of the immaculate preparation and base products as well as the final coat.
I would highly recommend this Salon to anyone. Christmas is coming and Jo does a great range of vouchers which make great presents. The salon was spotless

Jo is amazing - the best full body massage I have ever had! She really tailors the massage to the individual and I left feeling a new person! Thank you Jo! Can’t wait for the next session! 🙏🏼

I have been a regular customer of Appleonia for many years and would highly recommend you visit Joanne for a nice relaxing massage. She is a true professional and knows how to get rid of all the stress and tension that builds up in your body as a result of every day life.

I have visited Appleonia many times over the years for massages. Jo is a gifted massage therapist. She has great pressure and the perfect amount of chat to relaxing quiet ratio. She is warm, friendly and… professional. I would always recommend her for her expert knowledge and the general restorative experience she provides. She is also really accommodating. When I was pregnant I visited Appleonia a lot and Jo was really good at adapting the massage to suit my changing body. I had a lot of reflexology toward the end of my pregnancy which helped hugely with my swollen feet and getting me relaxed

Only therapist who can do a back and shoulder massage that makes any difference as my back is made of granite. Been going to Jo for 21years.
