Ripples Salon in Los Cristianos is the place to go for hair, beauty or nail
treatments. Run by Shane and Beverley Taylor, the salon is tucked in at the side of
Crisitian Sur, right next to The FishermanŽs Inn, a nice little pub where you can park your other half
while you get pampered. Six months after joining Mahogany, an exclusive chain
with three salons in Oxford and one in Mayfair, London, Shane won the annual
inter-salon competition. He was still a trainee at the time and was delighted to be
the first ever trainee to win the Mahogany award. Having had Shane colour and cut my own thin and mousey locks, I can honestly say he does a fabulous job of
both. Though he looks a bit serious in the photo, donŽt be fooled by
that. Shane is friendly and chatty but watch out for the occasional wisecrack as his
dry sense of humour slips in from time to time. Beverley
is an experienced beauty therapist and nail technician. She is artistic by nature so
you can be sure that you will leave the salon with fabulous nail art. Bev also does
facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures and St. Tropez tanning.
By appointment, you
can organise reiki, massage or chiropody treatment at Ripples and the salon has a
solarium sunbed so you can choose to tan safely even here in Tenerife. As I had
heard good things about Ripples from an expat friend, I decided to book my mother in
for a birthday nail treatment from Beverley. The biggest surprise was that I managed
to keep the secret right up until we walked into the salon. Mum still thought I was
lost and asking for directions. She was delighted when Bev and Shane magically
produced a bottle of champers and we all sang happy birthday. My Mum and I enjoyed
our afternoon at Ripples so much that we organised another girlie day when a friend
was in town. Three facial massages, two pedicures, two haircuts and an eyelash tint
later, we left Ripples feeling very pleased with ourselves. |
