Manicure review: Urban Retreat, Harrods. Sunday 2nd December 2012.
It's Curbappeal:
- set within one of the most famous (art deco style) department stores in the world...there's something rather decadent about getting a manicure here
- escape the crowds to 'Urban Retreat'. The nails area is a large, light & airy space set on a mezzanine area overlooking the bustling hair salon
Treatment rating: excellent. I opted for an 'artistic' nail colour, which is basically the same as shellac - ie gel based polish to give that longer lasting. Huge colour choice. I went for the classic A/W12 purple look, choosing the quirkily named "Cavair for breakfast"
The bill: £55 for a manicure that lasts for over 3weeks seems worthwhile, but£4.50 for a small bottle of sparkling water....??
Anything we didn't like: Treatment was great but paying over the odds for the bottle of sparkling water was a little galling
Recommended: Yes. Try come on a Sunday if you want a more relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer a more bustling spa come on a Saturday & enjoy a pedi & manicure sat next to your friends
