The Hideaway Beauty Ltd

Looking for a reliable beauty spot in town? The Hideaway Beauty on Lord Street gets a perfect 5.0 from twelve Google reviews, which is always a good sign, right? They do all the usual stuff — nails, waxing, lashes — but people seem to especially rate their facials. It's not the biggest place, so you get a more personal feel than some of the bigger salons.

I know a few people who swear by them, and they're always booked up, so that tells you something. They seem to really listen to what you want, rather than just doing the same treatment on everyone. Plus, they use good quality products, which makes a difference, especially if you've got sensitive skin like my sister.

Opening hours are pretty good too; they're open six days a week, including Saturdays 'til 4pm, and a couple of late nights 'til 6pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Obviously, they're closed on Sundays, like most places around here. You can give them a ring on 07883 383541 if you want to chat about what they offer.

Best to book in advance, especially if you want a weekend appointment. Parking on Lord Street can be a pain, so give yourself plenty of time to find a spot, or just get the train to Southport station and walk down.
