Self help guides in London

“I have seen Stephanie a number of times and am delighted with my results! She is professional, gentle & explains everything in detail. I have had a number of treatments, including Profhilo, Botox, fillers and redensity skin boosters and my wrinkles are definitely not so prominent! I will definitely be back to Dentox for more treatments, as & when required. Many Thanks Stephanie.”

“Very happy with the academy and all its teachers. My son loves to go there, his confidence is building as well as his skills in jujutsu & in life. Thank you,”

“Joe’s a 10/10 coach with massive amounts of in-depth and insightful knowledge. Any question I’ve had he’s not only had an amazing answer to, he’s been able to explain it to me in a way that it can soak right in and stay. Since training with Joe I’ve seen a massive spike in not only my wrestling, but my BJJ too!! Amazing coach, amazing person; definitely recommend!!!”

“As one of Google's local guides, I must say that I am really glad that I came across Iris pole's ad on Instagram. This has completely changed my perspective on how to train efficiently and smart. As someone who has never had any experience in any sort of dance or specific sports, pole became a passion rather than just a routine work out for me. But this could not have happen without the support of all the instructors in Iris studio. Firstly, the place is very convenient to reach, 2 mins away from Kilburn and 3 mins away from Brondsbury stations. It is only for women which is a plus for me personally. Great, clean and decent size changing room with racks to store your belongings safely ( this is a big plus as some other studios that I have gone, do not have this facility). They provide you with yoga blocks and mats so you don't have to carry yours. Trainees get to have one pole per person for the whole session and you are not sharing the pole with others. This ensures that you are getting the most out of your work out and of course hygiene wise it is far better and safer. They also make sure that all equipment are sanitised before the next session starts. One thing I noticed and loved about this place is that for all the new joiners, Marina or any other instructors greet the newbies, guide them around the studio and ask about about any previous experience or injuries. I have not seen this level of care in other places which puts them higher than any other average studio in London. The trainings that they give you very much depends on your level of experience. Even the combos have modifications for the less experienced individuals. So if you are a newbie, you will be given easier moves and if you are experienced you will be given challenges. However, they do not push you or make you do anything that you do not feel confidant or comfortable with. Their level of customer care is beyond what I was expecting. When I came down with Covid, I could not attend few sessions, of course I cancelled within the allowed timing (3 but what stood out for me was that they extended my membership without even having me asking for it. This was an issue with Exotica studio where they refused to provide any sort of solution for my cancelation whilst I was in self isolation. Be aware that classes get booked very quickly as they are in high demand so you've got to reserve your spot very fast before it gets fully booked, I have missed my chance few times as I was busy with other things. So if you want to book a class for the end of the week best is to do it at beginning of the week as by mid week it will be already fully booked. My advice for this studio is keep up the excellent work and service. You guys are all stars.”

“After my request for therapy was unsuccessfully processed 'very slowly and bureaucratically' by another provider, the Koan Practice was a breath of fresh air. Their admin. communication is excellent; efficient and clear, their assessment is personal, professional and kind, and their referral and payment system is fair and appropriate. They are a wonderful practice, highly recommended.”

“Literally just had my 9th tattoo all in less than six months, all done by the lovely Frank who is just amazing at what he does. Frank and his team are all very friendly and very welcoming, always end up having a good laugh. A great experience all round. Would highly recommend this place.....And so does my shrink who told me its the best thing I ever did lol.... I will certainly be going back.”

“‏Leon is wonderful, kind and very welcoming person, He was professional and fast, the result was exactly as I wanted I will definitely do my second tattoo here”

“Absolutely delighted with my experience and the final results of my tattoo. Felipe was so attentive, gentle, kind and patient throughout. His skills are amazing - a true artist. Getting a tattoo is quite a big consideration for many, often with deep meaning attached; I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Felipe and the team at Wimbledon Tattoo.”

“I had a great experience getting my ear pierced by Lauren this afternoon. She was incredibly knowledgable and you can tell that she really cares about her work, (which is reassuring!) The whole vibe of the place is clean, professional friendly and really welcoming. Not your typical tattoo parlour! Will definitely be back there and would highly recommend.”

“First time going to Elbert and I can say I wont be going anywhere else for future tattoos! A really lovely guy who puts you at ease and ensures youre comfortable. The work itself is exceptional and the end result was better than I could ever imagined. Thank you so much!”

“After months of convincing my partner finally gave in to getting his ear pierced. The staff were amazing and very welcoming. I had my nose pierced by Lovett about a year ago so when it came to taking my partner to get his ear pierced I had to go back to Lovett. so thank you so much Lovett for such a lovely experience at your shop and we will defo be coming back to get my partner his other ear lobe pierced.”

“Josh completed a tattoo on my leg and the detail is insane! I have others on my leg from other artists but this is by far the best. I have definitely found my artist for life! The studio was clean, warm and a great atmosphere. Josh is a great guy and both times I have been to him we have had a great laugh. My tattoo healed perfectly and I get nothing but great comments from people who see it. Highly recommend people to visit 27 Club. Josh and I are already in talks for my next tattoo, which I am buzzing about. You're a top guy man, keep doing what you do best!”

“I’ve been visiting Headcase Ink since April 2022 and I wouldn’t go anywhere else now! I’ve had work done by Viktorija, Sam, Serena and Kristina and the level of work is second to none. The professionalism is outstanding, as is the creativity. They put so much effort into making me feel at ease and comfortable and the aftercare guidance is thorough. Nothing is too much trouble! I’m always getting compliments about my tattoos from people and would recommend any of the artists to anyone! Headcase Ink, I love you! ”

“Thank you luigi for this verry nice tatoo! Love it ♡”

“I had a last minute tattoo done by Jess. I recently lost my nan and I wanted something to remember her by so I dug up and old birthday card and asked Jess to put my nans writing in my shoulder. Jess done an amazing job and made me feel so comfortable. The atmosphere in LGT is lovely. They are all so welcoming. I can't wait for my next!”

“Lance did an incredible piece of work on my forearm today. He has an amazing talent to draw freehand and an incredible eye for detail. Lovely relaxed environment. 100% reccomended.”

“My first tattoo at 60! I was so nervous but the Tattoo Nest team made me feel so at ease especially Sam Roberts who inked a beautiful swallow on mine & my daughter's hands. I am so grateful for his care & professionalism. Thank you Sam, I love my tattoo & will be def be back. Xx”

“Went here yesterday. My tattoo is quite simple, with writing underneath it. The guy doing the tattoo spent about 45 minutes just making sure the design was exactly right and explained any issues with the font or size. Really great service. These guys really know what they are doing.”

“I love this piercing studio! Karmen and Claudio are so special and make you feel immediately at ease even when you're nervous about needles. I've gone back to them for two more piercings since my first visit and recommend the studio to all my friends wanting piercings. They are friendly and professional and super clean. My favourite thing is that it's a dedicated piercing studio and they do one person at a time so you don't have to deal with the sounds of a tattoo machine, or someone in pain near you, which makes it easier if you have sensory issues. Of course, they do not use piercing guns here, needles all the way. I will always go back to Mystique for my piercings! I cannot recommend them enough.”

“Had such a great experience getting four new ear piercings in one go! Clearly a lot of care goes into this business and I felt super well looked after, could barely feel the actual piercings and it's been a few weeks now from the appointment and everything is healing nicely!”

“We love going to the little gym! I have taken my daughter since she was 5 months (she is one now) the staff are so welcoming and so knowledgeable! I'm now back at work and my mum takes lil one when she can and they make her feel comfortable. My daughter is so much more confident thanks to the support we get! I couldn't recommend it enough! Thank you to everyone at the little gym.”

“I joined Arabian Rose in 2018 and have been learning with Sandra throughout this period (including classes during lockdown). I started in level 1 and have been in level 4 for some time now. Arabian Rose is well run and organised. The classes are excellent; Sandra is a very skilled teacher and absolutely passionate about dance. Her choreographies are beautiful and creative.. and it’s all so enjoyable! With every course, I learn something and hopefully I improve a little bit. I never danced before, but dance at Arabian Rose is for everyone and I intend to continue for a long time.”

“I have had the most amazing training experience with Reliance Accountants and Tax Adviser. The practical training was very thorough, methodical and in a fun atmosphere. I have been able to learn so much especially from the lead tutor, Mr Saha Anupam who took me through the practical training in a relax and friendly atmosphere. I will gladly recommend any aspiring accountant or any accountant that wants to gain practical accounting experience to contact Reliance Accountants and Tax Adviser for a first class training experience.”

“Awesome tattooist and such a nice guy makes hours seem like minutes and such a soft touch. Will be back soon just deciding on my next design.”

“Amazing tattoo made so welcome great experience. Have had many tattoos before but would not go anywhere else now I've found Viktor”

“For over a year I have been searching for an Artist to take on a project of a cover up and to rework an old cover up which had scarring coming through and not well done, I approached over 20 different tattoo shops and Artists with no joy. then I was recommended Alexine at this shop, you can contact her by email, please read it fully and send as much info as you can inc measurements and idea's, She will respond with in her time scales (1 week) with details and ideas what can be done etc, She is 100% honest about what designs will work and won't, She will not waste your time or hers which I like. I went in for a consultation and heard what I like, paid deposit and sent her loads of idea's , Recieved the design 4 days before our first session just in case you want to change or tweek anything. Our first session was placement and out lining work, I had trouble imagine what it would all look like when it would be finished, Alexine was patient and explained it all very well and coached me through it. 6 sessions later it was done! All the sessions ran to time and to my expectations, She never failed to delivery. You really do get back what you put in with Alexine, she is direct, polite, professional and loves cover-ups, happy to tattoo for hours if you can take the pain ! The studio is very clean and relaxing, all the ladies there are very nice and make you feel welcome. Honestly I'm not one for reviews but If you need help in a cover up or reworking a piece, get in touch with her. I was doing 50 mile round trip to have this done, well worth it .”
