Satisfied customers make it all worthwhile
Beauty of Bedford Customer Testimonials
We know full well how challenging it is to visit a new hairdresser, armed with fervent hope they will make a good job of it. It is an intensely personal experience. Similarly, entrusting the well being of your body and it's appearance to another person, a beautician or therapist may cause equal feelings of discomfort.
One of the greatest ways to dispel such qualms is through personal recommendation — which is why we have a testimonials page. We want you to know - if not directly from personal word of mouth but through the impartial words of others - that we can be trusted to give a professional, courteous, friendly and, above all, satisfying service.
In their own words ...
Thanks for the Smoothie facial last night - it was very relaxing and my skin feels wonderful today - I'm also really surprised and impressed at how much better it looks!

I am halfway through my course of Microdermabrasion and I am extremely pleased with the results. My skin feels fresh, radiant, glowing and it's much clearer now. I would definitely recommend having this course of treatments, especially as you get the homecare free which saved me lots of money and the products are fantastic. I love the Cleanser, it really deep cleans my face and gets rid of stubborn make up. I love coming into Beauty of Bedford, the staff are friendly and they make you feel really welcome. And they make a great cup of tea!

Hi. Me and my best mate had the teen special. It was heaven especially the chocolate facial! Thank you so much! You will be seeing me very soon!

I have had a few different treatments at BoB and just wanted to say what a fantastic service you get. It's not often that you find people who will go out of their way to go that extra mile. I tuned up late for a appointment and both girls stayed behind even though it was going to make them late closing and they didn't rush me or make me feel uncomfortable. I would advise anyone to give these girls a try and will be telling all my friends. Thank you. Will definitely be back again soon.

Fake Bake Extreme is fantastic! A lot easier, doesn't smell and I look like I've spent a week in extreme sun! THANK YOU!
— Marti from Kempston - 12 October, 2005
Thanks for the treatments on Friday, I really enjoyed them. I was so scared before I came in (never having a full body treatment before) but you both put me at ease within seconds.....Thank you. My skin still feels great so I may have to purchase some of your magic cream as well!
— Sarah from Bedford - 4 October, 2005
Thank you for a truly wonderful lead up to my wedding day (and my husband's!). Everyone commented on how well we both looked thanks to Beauty of Bedford. My mum and Aunty really loved their manicures - thank you for fitting them in at such short notice!
— Joya from Bedford - 20 September, 2005
Thank you both for the wonderful hen day you gave me and my close friends and family in August. It was a truly wonderful treat and everyone who came really felt special and thoroughly pampered. It was exactly what I needed as part of my wedding day preparations and I can't thank you both enough.
— Clare from Bedford - 10 September, 2005
I had the teen treat day and I really enjoyed it. I had a chocolate facial which was really relaxing. I had a pedicure and manicure it's a great treat gals, make sure you get your mum to book an appointment for you. You even get a hot cup of drinking chocolate at the end and a goody bag! Lots of thanks to Selina and Maria for making my birthday a special treat.
— Jade from Bedford - 27 August, 2005
Dear Maria and Selina. Many, many thanks for a wonderful day spent in your salon during my sister's hen day. As a newcomer to salon-going you both made me feel so welcome and at ease before, during and after my treatment I wanted to stay for more! Maria and Selina were both extremely professional and knowledgeable, yet friendly and approachable and the salon was beautifully calm, comfortable and very relaxing. My treatment (Oxy Contour) was incredibly relaxing and the renewed energy I felt following the session was astonishing. The whole day was well-organised and catered for (we all felt special that the salon was only available to us) and I will certainly be paying another visit to try out some other treatments.
— Lisa from Cheshire - 24 August, 2005
Thanks for putting me on your website!!!!!! That's soooo cool!!!!! I am trying to convince my mum to bring me back, so hope fully, you will see me again soon, and I can have my nails again, WITH GEMS!!
— Lydia (now age 12), from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire - 12 August, 2005
For my birthday I had a Teen Treat Day which included nail pedicure on my feet and a Chocolate Facial. I thought it was really good. Maria and Selina were really nice and now my nails and feet look really pretty and my face feels really fresh. I would definitely recommend it to other teens, it was really good.
— Emma from Clapham - 6 August, 2005
Came in yesterday for Fake Bake and I was very scared! Well just to let you know it is fab! I look healthy and glowing, and no orange patches or streaks! Well impressed! Will definitely be back for my wedding. Will be in for my hen night to trial some Bio Sculpture nails too. Thanks again!
— Nicola from Bedford - 2 August, 2005
I had my first ever facial and I must admit I was very impressed! Although a bit unsure about what the fuss was all about, the next day I noticed my skin was much clearer and softer. I really enjoyed it!
— Daniel from Milton Keynes - 14 July, 2005
Just wanted to send a quick e-mail to thank you for looking after my wife (Natalie) at your salon. Nat and her friend Sam had a fantastic afternoon and we will recommend to all her friends and family.
— David from Bedford - 1 July, 2005
Hi Maria and Selina. Thanks for a wonderful manicure and pedicure last week. Having never been to a beauty salon I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed the experience and will be back for more! The chocolate facials sound fantastic... I'm more than happy to be added to your testimonial list, if you want me to write a bit more I can do! Thanks once again.
— Sarah from Silsoe - 15 June, 2005
Selina did my nails for my cousin's wedding and she made it so enjoyable for me, she even gave me a bit of champagne so I wouldn't feel left out! I really liked the oxygen mask, it was so cool! I'm definitely going to get my mum to take me back there soon! Thank you for making my nails look so nice!
— Lydia, age 11, from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire (your youngest customer!) - 27 April, 2005
The chocolate facial is a truly delicious treatment it hits all the right spots. Not only do smell completely edible, your skin feels wonderful your mind & body feels totally relaxed. As for Maria well she's a star! Will now be working my way through the treatment list.
— Marti from Kempston - 27 April, 2005
Beauty of Bedford is 'simply the best'. Maria and Selina are very professional, friendly, and perfectionist and nothing is too much for them. I have enjoyed every treatment I've had. Long may it continue.
— Anna from Bedford - 23 April, 2005
Just got home after my Smoothie Facial and Nourishing Backcial and I feel totally de-stressed! The products are fantastic and Maria & Selina are very friendly, welcoming and professional. Looking forward to my next treatment. The loyalty scheme is great for extra treats. Thank you.
— Sue from Bedford - 20 April, 2005
The chocolate facial is an outstanding treatment. Behind the busy Tavistock Street doors lays an experience not to be missed. Unlike most salons where you get a very quick treatment this salon will make you feel very special during every second of your stay. I am also very impressed with the loyalty scheme that the salon uses. Its nice to get rewarded for custom. It is a real Bedford sanctuary and Maria and Selina put Charlie and his chocolate factory to shame!
— Joya from Bedford - 12 April, 2005
I had a Bodicial. That evening it made me feel really tired but I had a really good night's sleep. The next day I awoke feeling fully refreshed and revitalized. I enjoy coming into Beauty of Bedford as it's a very friendly salon but at the same time very professional.
— Louise from Kempston - 11 April, 2005
My Fake Bake tan was wicked! Really pleased with the result.
— Tasha from Bedford - 2 April, 2005
I love coming into Beauty of Bedford. The atmosphere is lovely and the girls are so nice.
— Lisa from Bedford - 24 March, 2005
Never had my legs waxed before but Selina really looked after me and made me feel at ease.
— Rachel from Bedford - 22 March, 2005
I am a total beauty addict so after I have paid all the boring stuff each month like the mortgage, the rest of my cash goes to Maria and Selina at Beauty of Bedford ... Read more of Lil Miss G's experience with us.
— Lil Miss G from Lil Miss G Recommends - 16 March, 2005
Maria and Selina are great! I was really nervous about going to a beauty salon, but from the moment I walked in I knew I picked the right place. They made me feel really welcome and at ease.
— Stuart from Bedford - 12 March, 2005
Normally I hate having my legs waxed, but Selina made it more pleasurable. I actually found myself having a giggle with her while my treatment took place!
— Carly from Bedford - 10 March, 2005
Maria has a wonderful touch when it comes to facials and massages. She comes highly recommended!
— Kim from Bedford - 9 March, 2005
I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I had never had a professional facial before. I was greeted by a very warm, friendly and cosy atmosphere. She [Maria] applied various different creams and potions to my face, relaxing music in the background. She also massaged my face as she applied the creams. The icing on the cake was when she applied the thick chocolate to my face, the smell was absolutely beautiful. I was left like this for a while then she removed it and then applied chocolate moisturiser, afterwards my face felt smooth and supple and smelt gorgeous! The smell lasted throughout the night! I would definitely recommend this to anyone, not just chocoholics! I was even offered a hot chocolate drink when it was all over but I declined as I had to rush off and treated myself to a king size bar of chocolate on the way home!
— Kali from Shortstown - 5 March, 2005
Having been to other beauty salons, I found Beauty of Bedford far superior. Fabulous, friendly service. I was very pleased with the results and will definitely be coming back.
— Jenny from Rushden - 4 March, 2005
The chocolate facial is to die for! A must for anyone who likes chocolate. My skin was glowing after and felt so soft. The service was relaxed, welcoming and friendly. The actual treatment was of a very high standard. I'm now going to work my way through their treatment list!
— Erin from Rushden - 2 March, 2005
My face feels awake and rejuvenated! My skin feels lovely and smells of chocolate. I would definitely recommend this facial to everybody. Selina has a lovely touch!
