A little more than eight miles outside of Lichfield, a hidden gem awaits those in search of affordable luxury in skincare and beauty.
Walsall College (as well as a plethora of other colleges) offers a unique opportunity for beauty enthusiasts to indulge in a cut-price facials, manicures, pedicures and much more in return for being a glamorous guinea pig for students honing their craft.
One of our team recently had the pleasure of experiencing a rejuvenating Dermalogica treatment and was thrilled with the results.
“From the moment I stepped through the door of the college salon, the professionalism was evident,” reports Sally Davies one of Lichfield Living’s writers.
“The check in process was swift and efficient and I was shown through to my room, asked to complete a short questionnaire highlighting what I wanted from my treatment.
“Under the guidance of experienced instructors, my student – a delightful young man named Charlie – guided me through every step, perfectly articulating the ingredients of every product from initial cleanse and steam, to exfoliation and then my personalised moisturiser for my ‘drier skin’.
“There were about 15 steps in total and I felt relaxed, comfortable and at ease – knowing that I was in some way helping Charlie to build his confidence whilst my skin was getting much needed TLC.
“Looking back, from my initial consultation to the personalised recommendations, it was clear that Charlie and no doubt the other students were well-versed in the intricacies of skincare, even as a first year student.
“My post-facial glow was undeniable and my skin felt radiant, with a noticeable improvement in texture and tone. The hydration levels were exceptional, providing a lasting effect that surpassed my expectations.
“It really is incredible to think that such outstanding results can be achieved at a fraction of the cost of traditional facials.
“If you’re on a budget yet want a pampering experience that leaves your skin glowing and hydrated, this hidden gem is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely return – next time perhaps for my nails, and then a tan and then my feet. The choice in treatments is endless!”
