The best beauty salon in Edinburgh without doubt! You must try it at least once...you'll love it an will surely go back. There's a friendly, professional, relaxed and polite atmosphere you can breathe since you step into the salon. Each person working at Zen Lifestyle really make each client feel special, relaxed and pampered...their treatments are outstanding, their politeness and friendliness are second to none, their products are the best...each moment spent at Zen is a true blissful experience ...I really can’t praise them enough for everything they do everyday: their smiling faces welcoming and saying goodbye, their knowledge about products, their amazing treatments...you've got plenty to choose from and they are happy to customise anything to your need. I highly recommend this salon even if you're on holiday and need a pampering time. Read Less

I've visited Zen at Hanover street many times previously for treatment and have always loved it and felt rejuvenated! This time however, I would like to say a special thanks to Emma who was my therapist when I popped in for a back massage yesterday. I can not sing her praises enough!! By far the best back massage I've had in a long time, better than most other hotel spas around Edinburgh city centre that I have tried! She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and checked beforehand and throughout of what kind of pressure I would prefer as my back is a maze of tense knots! All the staff at Hanover street are always very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend! Thankyou Emma and the rest of the girls at Zen - Hanover Street xx Read Less

Wow! I cannot thank the lovely girls here enough for the friendly welcome and fabulous treatments when we came in on the 1st of July as part of a day of birthday celebrations for my Mum, auntie and cousin. Every aspect from booking over the phone to calling us a taxi to take us to our next treat was superb, and my lovely gel polish is still in perfect condition over a week later. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much girls Read Less

I went to Zen for the first time today having received a voucher for Christmas. I decided to book the 40 minute custom facial and it was absolutely heavenly! The room and bed are so cosy and relaxing and the treatment itself was absolutely perfect. I left feeling totally relaxed and my skin completely rejuvenated and feeling amazing. I only wish I'd booked the longer facial as I didn't want it to end! I had a choice of feet, hand and arms or scalp massage while the facial peel was on and the scalp massage was so relaxing. All of the staff were super friendly and lovely and Louise on reception made the perfect cup of tea for me while I was waiting having arrived early. Will definitely return when I get another chance for some rare me time!Read Less

Had a wonderful experience here today. After coming through Breast cancer (and being shown the door at another Edinburgh Beauty clinic) i had the most relaxing and indulgent Massage today. After very careful assessment of my condition i felt in safe hands and i really really enjoyed it thank you.. highly recommended. Read Less

Why does one pay £38 to get their brows done? Well, in my case, it was solely to answer that question...Honest to god, I do not know what i'm doing with my eyebrows. I have a little gel sticky thing that I occasionally smush through them and I can pluck the odd hair that is out of place, but shaping/filling/anything remotely close to complicated... I'm at a loss. Thankfully, my brows grow SO SLOWLY, that I can get away with a wax every 6 months and a cheapo at home tint (because blonde eyebrows and black hair looks silly).So while I was making the rounds looking for my yearly brow tidy, I found Zen with its 5 star following and the elusive HD Brows. I poked around the internet a bit and couldn't seem to find anything that truly explained WHY HD Brows cost so much more... sure there's a big pitch about 7 different methods, yada yada, but honestly, it didn't seem THAT much fancier than a simple wax/tint. But seeing as though I am brow clueless and again, only have to bite the bullet and actually pay attention to them once/twice a year, I booked.... and damnit, I'm going to be the gal who spends £38 to get her brows done again.The "magic" of this brow method is really just paying better attention. The gal who did mine cleaned up the top, adjusted the tint twice, waxed, threaded and generally fine tooth combed my brows. The most useful part was afterwards, she walked me through how to fill the sparse bits and I actually might wield that brow pencil with a little more purpose now. The big money making difference: I have eyebrows that look like I actually care about that fact. It was a, "Oh THAT'S what they're supposed to look like" moment.How about the location? The place is bright, clean and the folks are cheerful. It's easy to book (online, in person or over the phone) and they have ridiculously late hours for a spa type spot (open until 10pm on the weekdays!!). Final verdict? I don't think i'd be an HD brow gal if I had to do it with any regularity, but I was impressed enough to return in a few months when they get out of hand. Even if you have to wax/tidy every few weeks, it might be worth flinging this into the mix once or twice a year. This place was professional and I'll definitely keep an eye on what else they offer.I'm gonna go wiggle my eyebrows in the mirror again now... Read Less

This place is inviting and warm, with lemon water, and cheerful staff. I went for a facial and they scanned my face to look for signs of aging, wrinkles, etc. Then they did an amazing facial. Well, it was a bit tingly and felt hot, but she told me it would, so I didn't start to worry until... No just kidding, I wasn't worried. My skin felt regenerated. They also carry Murad, which I like, so I got something called white brilliance. Hopefully it works. I also really dolled out for the clear&brilliant series of 3- had the first one now and man that is some intense slightly painful laser action, but after my face recovered (about 6 days) it looked really amazing. I looked at prices back in San Francisco and surprise it is actually cheaper to do it here so I'm gonna keep at it after my 3 are up ;) Read Less
