When it comes to beauty salons and spas Cardiff is second to none. Many of the city's grand hotels also operate state-of-the-art spas and gyms open to the general public, while Cardiff town centre is packed with beauty salons, from small independent businesses with a loyal, established customer base to impressive clinics showing off all the latest must-try treatments. Advanced Beauty and Hair on Merthyr Road is a convenient one stop shop for everything, from eyelash tinting to various skin therapies like microdermabrasion. Meanwhile, The Escape, snugly located in the Hilton Cardiff, offers a chance to get away from it all right in the heart of the city, waging war on stress with vitamin-rich facials, neck and shoulder massages and soothing body scrubs.
