Rejuvenation – Chesterfield

Rejuvenation is a large, high profile salon in Chesterfield, with good web presence.  It has a lot of services that I was interested in, as at the time of visiting I was looking for a little help in losing some weight. I went there for Caci non surgical body treatment, and also tried one session of colonic irrigation therapy.

This salon is a little out of town and not the easiest place to park, but happily the street parking is free. Initially I had a positive response to the salon. The decor is attractive and the beauticians friendly and hard working. However, I found that some had little training other than second hand from the owner.

Treatments

With the Caci treatments, the beauticians were trying their best to position the contact points of the machine correctly, but often referred to an instruction sheet. These are lovely people, don’t get me wrong, but the owners need to invest in them and their training.

I didn’t realise that it wasn’t quite right until I had a session with one of the owners. She positioned the points correctly and the effect was far better (you would hope so as she had the training). A course of Caci is a bit of an investment, so I felt short changed and have not been back. I have found a more professional salon. Furthermore, I felt that the owners were taking my regular sessions for granted. They seemed to be treating me as though I was on a production line, instead of having a rare hour that was for me – next cheque please!

The colonic irrigation was a little different. The lady who administers the treatment is an eccentric delight! There was no time to feel nervous as she chattered about her little dog and made me feel completely comfortable. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world to be doing, and I felt really good afterwards. If she works anywhere else I would certainly have some more treatments.

Mirage – Chesterfield

This is a tiny Tardis of a salon in a busy little shopping parade in Littlemoor. You might pass this over thinking it is all about tanning and nails – but you would be overlooking a little gem of a salon.

At the front is a single salon setup on one side and a small waiting area on
the other. As you go back through the premises, there are two K-mirageSun Sunshower tanning booths and a sunbed. These are not something I need to use but I am told are state of the art; they were extremely popular whenever I was there. Then there are the Biosculpture nail bars, and beyond that the treatment rooms.

I went there for Caci, the non-surgical beauty treatment, but they also have a good menu of other face and body treatments. I also saw some amazingly pretty and creative hairstyling, particularly prom and party looks.

The staff are very friendly and during my course of treatments I was made
to feel relaxed and unrushed. The treatment was painless, and it gave me both a fresher look and a little indulgent me time.

Mirage does not have a website, just FB, but here is the link – Mirage
