Jade's Salon

Has anyone been to Jade's salon? I went over the weekend as i got a voucher as a present for a full body aromatherapy massage, meant to last one hour. I wasn't overly impressed. The massage started 10 mins late and she gave me 10 mins at the end to "rest" meaning the massage only lasted 40 mins. The girl must have had a cold, but instead of blowing her nose sniffed the entire way through the massage - not the most relaxing experience! Also, i've never heard of a full body massage where you don't get a neck and shoulder massage included.. very strange. Me thinks they are trading off Jade's name, rather than being a good salon. I won't be returning..[:(][:(]

you should have complained - I don't see the point in complaining on here but not to them also? [:)] I agree a full body massage usually does include neck & shoulders. BTW did anybody see that Channel 4 yet again put Hertford in the 'Essex' bracket on the 'Chantelle' program recently?! I did send in a complaint [}:)]

What was Chantelle's link with Hertford?

They were comparing Jade with Chantelle

That's the second time that's happened (that I'm aware of). Given these programmes are probably being made in London, you'd have thought that someone involved in their making might have been aware of the large county directly to their north!

Many of us are 'sensitive' souls who when suddenly confronted by poor service unexpectedly go into our shells thinking perhaps that if the service is this shoddy up front what will be their reaction if I complain. My usual course of action is never to return where I have been given poor service. I think this forum is an ideal place to post views on poor service - haven't we just had a post on excellent service? The right to reply exists for the above salon so let's watch this space?

Thanks for the posting - I was considering my Wedding Day Pamper there. Maybe not. Anyone got any good recommendations?

Cheers, I'll pop in. Never know I may need a few practice runs. Don't think you can have too many massages[;)]

A friend of mine went into Jades Salon for a manicure on Saturday morning. Not overly impressed! She said they were all very young and spent the whole time chatting to each other about what they had been up to on Friday night. I was disappointed as I had bought her the voucher as a special treat.[:(]

I'm sorry, but that attitude is exactly why everything in this country is so ****. If you bite their heads off at their ankles it; 1. makes them aware of a problem to which they might otherwise be oblivious. 2. terrifies them into not upsetting their customers in future. 3. alerts others in attendance to the shoddiness, thus encouraging them to leave before being ripped off. PS - 'Falling Down' is one of my favourite films!

How funny 'BengeoBabe' we must of had the same girl massage us! Does her name begin with a G......? It really annoyed me too,as thats all i could hear! I have been a few times for different treatments, and i can recommend the body contour wrap... but mostly i used to visit there to try and get a look at Jade's Ex 'Jeff!' (shhhh don't tell my Dp!) Oh well, now that they've split again, i won't be needing to return! x

The reason i didn't complain there and then is because there was quite evidently no management present on the day, and there would have been no point complaining to pre-pubescent hungover girls. i figured that letting others know my experiences would be a better use of my time.

Someone at work is organising a charity ball including an auction, with one of the prizes "A day's pampering at Ugly's, courtesy of Jade and Carly". Do you think I should warn them!!

I think there may be a factual error in his post for which Discover Hertford Online would be liable should Jade be miffed enough to take action against us. Whilst I understand the spirit of the comments made here it should be remembered that the Discover Hertford Online is deemed responsible for defamatory remarks and factual errors posted by members.

If you want good massage, I recommend Anna Kaminski who operates from Belles and Sheares in St. Andrew's St. She is very good, very professional and in my opinion the best, very good value for money.
