I had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Cove! The atmosphere is so relaxing and soothing—it was the perfect escape to unwind. The entire team is friendly and welcoming, and Molly, who did my lash lift, was exceptional. She was professional, gentle, and made the whole experience a pleasure. My lashes turned out gorgeous, and I left feeling completely rejuvenated. I highly recommend The Cove to anyone looking for excellent service in a peaceful, inviting setting!

My first time at the Cove today. I had reflexology for the first time. Agatha was the therapist. I was so impressed. Agatha is not only very professional. She was able to tell me so many accurate things from what she felt on various parts of my feet. For example, she knew I got alot of congestion and could even tell that my left nostril is the one that gives me the most problems 😲 ! Absolutely crazy. I'm going to be telling everyone about this lady !

This spa is a real find. First of all there is a big car park opposite so it’s very easy to park the car and go have your treatment.
I booked in for a deep tissue with Agatha because I hold a lot of tension in my back and often get sciatica down my leg.
The spa is small but it’s quiet, clean and very relaxing.
Agatha is one of the best massage therapists I have ever visited. She really focused on my back and got a lot of the knots out and I walked out of the salon feeling like a new person! My back felt like new and like a weight had been lifted. I felt so light and great.
It is also reasonably priced and worth the money for a great treatment. I have paid more in the past and been disappointed.
I highly recommend the cove spa and will be back again soon!

My husband and I went to Cove Spa for our anniversary for a much needed massage. From the moment we walked in the spa has a lovely chilled vibe and the therapists and receptionist (sorry I didn't catch your name!) were really personable and professional. We had our treatments from Jadene and Petra and agreed these were some of the best massages we have ever had. We thought the fact they asked about the level of pressure we wanted for the massage was really refreshing and considerate and at every stage our comfort was prioritised. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend you guys, thank you!

I had a 3D Trilogy session. I was a bit sceptical about it initially. I was told it was more powerful than usual laser machines of which I have experienced. The procedure was uncomfortable in places due the sensitive nature of the place I was having lasered, but having had laser before in that area previously
a few weeks was surprised at the result after just one session. It had managed to remove the hair in all but the most sensitive parts by at least 40%.
So I'll be going back to tackle those more stubborn areas for sure.

Lovely spa tucked away in St Albans. I can only review the pregnancy massage as that's the treatment that I experienced. I bought a set of 5 massages, the therapists were all lovely and looked after me really well. I always felt relaxed and my aches and pains had gone at the end of each treatment. There is a multistorey carpark directly opposite the spa and pay and display parking for 1hr on the road. My only criticism is the hard sell of another treatment or product at every session.

My skin concern is pigmantagion and right from the start I have been professionally advised on what cosmetic should I be using for my skin type and the problem. So far, I have had 3 facials and I have seriously taken the routine with a new cosmetics and the difference I clearly visible.
I am very pleased with the results and have found fabulous therapist; Agata that I know will look after me.
I honestly recommend this place if you are willing to invest the time and want more out of your treatment long term.
The location is convenient to drive to with a big car park nearby and the salon itself has a character which I like.

I have been having electrolysis treatments in various areas of my body for many years. I have started treatment with Tamara a few months ago. She is the best electrologist that I have seen. She takes the time to ensure that each hair follicle has indeed been properly treated. With me, she has developed some new techniques for treating sensitive areas that really work, while removing the discomfort. Additionally, she is extremely nice and caring. I highly recommend Tamara (at The Cove Spa, St Albans) to anyone that is considering electrolysis.
