CR Aesthetic skin and beauty Southport

Right, so you're after a bit of pampering in town? CR Aesthetic, just off Lord Street, could be your shout. They've got a solid 4.9-star rating from 33 reviews, so people seem pretty happy with what they get. You know what it's like, some of these places are all style over substance, but the reviews seem genuine enough.

It's your standard skin and beauty place: facials, massages, that sort of thing. I can't personally vouch for it – not really my scene, is it? – but my sister-in-law swears by them for her nails. Says they last ages, which is always a bonus. Plus, it's dead handy if you're already in town doing a bit of shopping or grabbing a bite.

They're open Tuesday to Saturday, but opening hours vary each day, so it's best to check ahead or give them a ring on 07949 490508. Can be a bit tricky parking right outside on a Saturday, so maybe aim for one of the car parks near the Promenade and have a wander up.
