nkd Waxing Competition Winner Shares Her Story

Earlier on in 2015, one lucky lady, called Catherine, won a year’s worth of treatments at nkd, after she entered our Christmas 2014 advent calendar competition. Cat turned out to be an existing nkd customer, but one who lives some 200 miles away from our Nottingham salon, in West Sussex!

We were intrigued to find out more about Catherine and what makes her regularly carry out her 400-mile round trip to get her wax with us, so we asked her the following questions:

What do you particularly like about nkd?

I like the friendly ‘local’ feeling of an independent salon, the type of wax used and its convenient location in the centre of Nottingham.

Why do you travel all the way from West Sussex instead of getting a wax closer to home?

I moved away from Nottingham in 2012 but still come back to see my boyfriend and friends.  At nkd I really liked the friendly service that puts you at ease and the quality products used.  I was obviously spoilt because despite trying a number of places near my new home I didn’t receive the same positive and professional service as at nkd.

The biggest benefit is that all the waxes I’ve had have been precise without being slow and you feel confident the therapists know their stuff because they deal specially with just waxing, lashes and brows, rather than having to multitask with a whole lot of other beauty treatments.

The only annoying thing is trying to get back to Nottingham quick enough for the 10% discount – fancy opening one on the South Coast?!

Really happy with my leg waxing experience! The service was professional, quick, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the results were great. My legs feel smooth and the waxing was done neatly with minimal discomfort. I’d definitely recommend this service and will be coming back again!

Jessica was really professional & lovely. I thought waxing with a new person could be awkward but she made me feel so comfortable and chatted to me to put me at ease which I was very grateful for! She talked me through everything and explained the benefits of waxing. The wax itself was super quick! I don’t think I would go anywhere else now!

Came in for my regular appointment, had Layla this time, really friendly and caring, all the girls are, they are professional and great with each person really listening, if like me you are a talker, and they remember you and ask genuine how are you questions, not just how are you? but, hello, did you get that job you were going for? In a more and more online world this personal touch is what stands out with every staff member here. Plus they are all good at their job too. 😄

That was definitely my best waxing experience. Layla was really kind and chatty which kept me distracted throughout. They were also playing my fave R&B songs which made the process even better! Booked my next appointment straight away, would definitely recommend.
