Shine – Newington Green

London

It had been a while since I\'ven\'t had waxing as I\'ve been travelling and I am new in London, so I wanted my first experience here to be great, but sadly this didn\'t happen with Sylwia. Instead, she made me feel uncomfortable during the appointment: from making me flex in impossible and extremely awkward positions to not being careful with the hot wax, which she poured all over my feet while spreading it on my bikini. The results were ok, although she left chunks of hard wax on my pubis, which I had to remove painfully at home. I am obviously not coming back. Very disappointing.

Responding to the email about your 20th anniversary: Congratulations on the big 2-0. It was a great day for Stokey when Shine Holistic arrived. Until then I\'d always traipsed to the West End to get a haircut, now here was a fabulous salon right on our doorsteps, and one that offered so many other exciting services too. You\'ve seen me through the good times and bad - cutting my hair from when my kids were toddlers through their bat- and bar-mitzvahs, not to mention helping me navigate the tricky regrowth after chemo so that I always looked and felt like my true self. Massages and acupuncture have helped me at moments of stress (Hello Hayley and Florentina!) and it\'s a family affair: your team has cut my daughters\' hair as kids and growing up, always making them feel extra special. So, I definitely will raise a glass to you. Warmest wishes to all your team and a big thank you for bringing all the love to Stokey.

Very happy with service and treatment, as always Cinnamen does a fantastic job with my fine hair

amazing service and incredible results, Jennifer is amazing every-time x

Alessandro is a wonderful stylist and master with long hair. I\'ve been going to Shine on the Green (Newington) for years, through long hair cuts and shorter ones; I feel relaxed and comfortable while I\'m there, and buzzing and excited when I leave. It is a wonderful place for other therapies and healing modalities too

I had a haircut and half head highlights with Joanna for the 2nd time and I don\'t think I will ever change my hairdresser. She is very good and a perfectionist! I am extremely happy with the result and I received a lot of compliments. She is very professional, sweet and friendly. Couldn\'t recommend her more. I think everyone at Shine is very good and professional. Thank you! Coming to Shine feels like a day at Spa:) See you soon. Simona

Mattea’s craniosacral therapy has been the key to my Long Covid recovery. After six months of not getting better, she has helped me and my body become balanced again and set free its own healing power. Mattea quickly identified my most vulnerable points, and the gentle touches of her craniosacral therapy do magic to the body. She has such a calming and soothing attitude; I immediately felt safe in her hands. Thank you!

I had my hair cut and dyed by Jennifer, amazing results and such a kind woman, felt very welcomed and listened to the entire time. Will definitely come back here!

Aaron’s Somatic Experiencing, was amazing. He allowed me to go back to a memory and try to re process it - something I had forgotten about 20 years ago! I left feeling really good about myself!

My Aromatherapy Massage treatment with Elea was truly blissful. Elea is a gentle soul and made me feel at ease very quickly. She made me a personalised blend of aromatherapy oils, to help clear my mind, and provided a thorough massage, at varying pressures to suit my needs physically and mentally. I can still smell the oils and feel the softness on my skin now. A lovely take home experience. Highly recommend.

Sylwia was amazing - I had the best Medi-pedi and a lash lift and tint. I am delighted with the results and great service. I will be back. Thank you Sylwia.

I am very nervous with needles and medical procedures and he was just so patient, calm and fabulous. So much so that he managed to get my skin tags removed without using local anaesthetic! I will certainly be returning to see Dr. Martinez again as he really is the best dermatology professional that I have received care from.

Emma is a fantastic masseuse - she has really unlocked my my neck, shoulders and back which I have been having ongoing trouble with. I would highly recommend her and will certainly be booking again in the near future.

I approached Sarah Warman for help with my chronic sciatic pain. Sarah has given me a whole new level of awareness of my body and movement including unhelpful habits all of which feed into my physical as well as mental wellbeing. I always feel so happy, positive and lifted after our sessions.

I saw Joanna when I was pregnant and overdue. My hope was to get some acupuncture to try to naturally coax labour, as well as to relax me. I’d had acupuncture elsewhere which hadn’t worked, but was so blown away by my experience with Joanna. She was so caring, diligent and really took the time on both treating me and talking me through what she was doing and offering a lot of helpful hints. I felt instantly different after our session and loved every moment. My only regret is not finding Joanna earlier! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone in pregnancy, whether it’s to relax or help encourage labour.

After I hurt my neck I couldn’t find anyone who could bring me any relief. I was lucky to find Joanna, who immediately eased my pain with her combination of acupuncture needles and use of the Bowen technique. Throughout my recovery she was very patient and supportive, providing a calming atmosphere and recommending exercises to help me get stronger and get back to my life.

I’ve been visiting Shine for 20 years, now both my adult children and husband do too, with good reason. Our stylist Joanna cuts and colours both mine and my daughter’s hair beautifully and we simply wouldn’t risk going to anyone else. My husband and son both have thick, difficult hair which Joanna transforms each visit, we love her !I always enjoy the whole experience at Shine and would highly recommend.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Shine for booking my appointment for hair and make up for my wedding at a very short notice. Jessica did my hair while Flaminia helped with the make up. They both have been super professional, patient and did exactly what I wanted. They gave me very helpful suggestions and I was really happy with the results. I have received many compliments on my special day and I will definitely recommend both to my friends. If you are struggling with finding a place for your special day, Shine is the place to go!!
