Just had a fabulous manicure (complete with herbal tea and biscoff 🙂 ) by SOFIA, based in an upstairs room in Oru.

Honestly polar opposite of most nail salons where you're welcomed in to a bustling shop full of people and chemical smells from nail polish remover etc. 

This little salon is a light and airy room where you can see the sky and look at a vase of daffodils whilst Sofia is giving you a manicure and lovely hand massage!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

“Posting for a friend”

That might have been the case if it was a first post, but it isn't, which makes it less likely.

It would be sad if people were put off from posting on here when they have had a good experience at a new local business because they think it will be assumed that they have some connection with the business.

do you know that though Sue - or are you just guessing? And that is rhetoric.

 

 

I know it's not a first post, if that's what you mean?

You can see the number of posts a forum member has made by clicking on the letter next to their name.

You can also see when they joined the forum  and you can see what recent posts they have made.

Do you know that the OP was "posting for a friend", or are you just guessing?

Nope she wasn't a friend, it was the first time we had met and she was lovely... highly recommended 🙂

Anyone on here in theory could post for friends or post fake reviews. 

I'm simply trying to be nice and spread the word about someone who does a very good job in a lovely calm space, in contrast to most nail salons where you're in a busy place and no personal touch, no conversation and definitely no herbal tea and biscuits!

How many daffodils in the vase 

Approximately 6 😉

Off peak slightly cheaper, depends on what type of manicure.

Mine was classic as I don't like gels (£27 on Treatwell but then they take a percentage so best to book directly).

Sofia has an offer on first time clients who book directly.

      Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more.

      Taxes

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.

      Taxes

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/

      Taxes

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
