Ewa is a fantastic practitioner. Facials with her are a massive treat, relaxing, therapeutic, refreshing and hugely beneficial for my skin. Highly recommend.

Ernesto and Bernadette and the assistant who washed my hair (she has dupe
Long hair, sorry I didn’t catch her name) are absolute gems, I love the fact that they love their jobs. So skilled.


Always such a wonderful haircut, treatment and service!

A wonderful salon - I have been coming for 20 years. Cinnamen is an artist! Everyone is friendly and it is always a relaxing and spoiling experience.


I've been getting my hair done beautifully by Kate since I moved to the neighborhood in 2014. Such friendly staff and great quality products too.

Saw Beth for an amazing massage at shine on the green. Have been going to her for years for sports recovery, relaxation and restoring my posture after both of my children. Highly recommend!

I crown Lara the curl queen! I did not know my hair had this much potential & she understood my suppressed texture & worked it into the most cute curly style. Love it

Josephine takes the time to understand what is going on physically and emotionally at each session. For me, it has been related to perimenopause - changes in my cycle, fatigue and feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. The treatments have a wonderfully grounding effect and I feel more healthy as a resul...t. Josephine also offers fantastic advice around nutrition and general wellbeing. She is such a caring person. I always come away thinking "love that woman!" read more

I've been seeing Josephine for the last 20 years, she's been an amazing support through most of my adult life. I love every aspect of Acupuncture and Josephine is a truly wonderful Practitioner. She is so calm, kind and caring and always takes the time to listen to me and offers great advice. Her tr...eatments take place in a lovely comfortable environment and I never feel rushed. She knows exactly what treatment I need and I always notice the benefit afterwards, I feel so much happier and healthier when I'm having regular acupuncture as opposed to the periods when I'm not. When I was struggling with my fertility, after having appointments with Josephine, I got pregnant, she was even able to tell I was pregnant from feeling my pulse! She then supported me throughout my pregnancy and even treated me when I was in labour. I travel from the other side of London to see Josephine because she is such a special person, I really cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

I have been a client of Josephine for over four years. Josephine's knowledge of acupuncture is of a very high standard. As she works with my body I feel this massive expansion and release. She knows just where to place the needles after listening to you. Her approach is inclusive, informative, kind...and extremely gentle. Also her touch evokes healing which is empathic as the calming energy from her hands softly touches your body as she works. read more

I couldn't recommend Josephine highly enough. I walk away from every session feeling better. Josephine is pure magic. Her treatments have been transformative both physically and mentally for me. She seems to always know how best to approach whatever I am arriving with.

Josephine is a wonderful acupuncturist who delivers her craft with enormous care and compassion. In addition to the acupuncture skills and knowledge, Josephine has the gift of being a natural healer. This is a very powerful combination. You will find each session is tailored to your current situatio...n. Be it specific health issues, emotional traumas or just working through the general stuff that life throws at us all. Everything will be covered and you will leave the session feeling enriched and regenerated. I highly recommend Josephine. read more

I had acupuncture with Josephine during two IVF cycles and found them so relaxing, not to mention during stims I felt that they encouraged follicle growth. That coupled with Josephine's very compassionate, calming and thoughtful personality really helped me through a stressful period. She was extrem...ely flexible around sessions to fit in with the IVF and I would highly recommend her. read more

Not only is Jo a wonderful person, she is also someone with huge experience and extensive expertise. In the course of the last ten years, she has helped me permanently overcome several unrelated health issues, as well as gifting me with an overall sense of wellbeing. Honestly, I can't recommend her...enough. read more

Josephine has a magic touch. She is very intuitive and incredibly gentle and my treatments are so relaxing. I always leave her feeling so good and the effect lasts for days and always gives me a great night’s sleep. I saw her when I was really ill with Covid and that was the only time I felt relief...from the virus. I also believe the acupuncture helped my immune system to overcome the virus a lot quicker. I am so glad that I found her and will continue seeing her both for acute issues and for a monthly reset. Its like an MOT for my body and gets me back in balance immediately. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has a gift for healing. read more

Ewa is wonderful. I’ve been going to her for years — she’s not only an excellent therapist, but also a complete professional and a warm, caring person. She always puts me at ease, even during more intimate treatments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Loved it! Great attention to details and helped me understand what works with my hair to get the result I want. Came out really happy and with a nice new colour and style. The massage chair at the sink definitely added to the experience. Can't think of anything that didn't go well 🙂

A really beautiful salon with a great team who are friendly and always work hard to make your experience special.

Very good haircut and colour is lovely. Nice and welcoming staff.

Thanks Valina, will pass on your words to the team as I can see you have seen many of them.

Really liked my hair cut, will go again.

Always do a brilliant job - and are super nice with it. They use very nice hair product as it's not too harsh on the hair, as well. Lovely salon too!

Salon had a very professional setting. Felt very safe and cared for & my hairdresser was well experienced and good at giving advice that was her own opinion. Very pleased 🙂 good staff and from what I hear they have a good management and a happy workplace which is rare. Looking forward to trying out... the beauty treatments as it's most definitely a nice environment and I feel trusting that the staff would do their best to make you happy! read more

Alex is a brilliant hairdresser. He always knows how to interpret what I want from a cut - having helped me go fully short to a tight bob or creating a shape when I've grown it long. Great colorist too and we always have interesting chats. Strong recommend!

I go to shine to do acupuncture with Valeria. She is an absolutely pro - she's extremely warm, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. Its a very relaxing environment.
All of the staff at Shine are extremely welcoming and kind. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

I absolutely love this place - been coming there for years and always look forward to my treatments. I've only ever had great experiences at Shine. The idea of wellness seems to come through in all their treatments whether it's a hair cut, a manicure or a massage.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kate at Shine on the Green, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. Kate is not only incredibly skilled but also genuinely passionate about their craft. They took the time to listen to... what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions based on my hair type and lifestyle, and delivered results that went above and beyond my expectations. My cut is stylish, flattering, and easy to maintain. What really stood out was their attention to detail, gentle approach, and how comfortable they made the whole process. It’s clear they care about their clients and take pride in their work. The salon was clean, modern, and had a great vibe — the perfect place to relax while getting pampered. I left feeling refreshed, confident, and already looking forward to my next appointment. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented and trustworthy hairdresser! read more

What an amazing massage from Mila! I felt like she innately knew/felt exactly what my body needed. So skillful and attentive, and great at communicating. Thank you, will be recommending to everyone!

It was an exhilarating experience. The session with Ria was tailored to my needs, and I received holistic healing that unleashed worries and concerns I didn’t even know were still affecting me. My physical symptoms and emotional tiredness were both eased. I will be coming back for another in-depth s...ession. read more

I had such a great massage with Mila today. The pressure was right throughout and she really got into all my knots and tight areas - I didn't realise quite how much I was holding in my neck and shoulders and she worked into these areas especially - it was DIVINE and I left feeling relaxed, more open... and spacious 🙂 Thank you Mila! read more

Renata is brilliant. Very gentle - all treatments painless and effective. Thank you!

I had an incredible healing session with Ria at Sacred Motion. Her warm, grounding energy put me at ease from the moment I arrived. The session was insightful and empowering, offering clarity I didn’t know I needed. The reiki was calming and transformative—I could feel energy shifting throughout my...body. The clay wrap was the perfect, soothing finish. Ria’s intuitive gifts and nurturing presence created a safe space to truly reset. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply reconnected. I will be back very soon. Thank you Ria read more

Mila at Sacred Motion gave me the best massage I’ve ever had. She focused on my targeted areas with such precision and care—her skill is truly unmatched. I’ve had many massages before, but none have compared to the relief and release I felt after this session. Mila intuitively knew exactly where to...apply pressure and how to work through tension I didn’t even realise I was holding. I left feeling completely relaxed, restored, and pain-free. She is a true expert at her craft. Highly recommend! Thank you Mila for a great experience. read more

The massage that Mila provided was excellent!
She used the right pressure and was in tune with exactly what I needed.

An excellent treatment from Dr Martinez. He explained everything to me before undertaking the procedure in a friendly and considerate way. The procedure itself was conducted very well and follow up care was also explained clearly. It was also very good value. Dr Martinez provides a terrific service,... is a very well qualified dermatologist, and I highly recommend him. read more

I saw Vidaltxo for a dermatology appt and was very happy with the appt. Vidaltxo is warm and kind and gave me a very thorough review with detailed information on my care and next steps. I will definitely visit him again and would recommend his services

My appointment was with Dr Martinez to have a couple of moles removed.
He explained the process really well and also the aftercare.
It’s only been a week but they are healing really well and look soo much better.

Dr Martinez gave me an excellent appointment. He explained everything relating to my condition and then proceeded to do the required operation which was painless and has recovered completely. I would recommend Dr Martinez wholeheartedly for his professionalism and empathetic and medical skills

Ria is an incredible therapist and healer. I had a wonderful experience in my first session, gaining significant insights and a feeling of being grounded.
