Trust me when I tell you that Kaneesha gives a great massage. I had an aching back, stiff neck and sinus pain. She sorted it all out in one treatment.

Amazing service from Ntombi, as usual. The 30 minute back massage felt like an hour, and a proper massage, not just a superficial rub.

The lady who helped me was very professional and made my first hollywood waxing experience a lot more bearable than I thought it would be.

I’ve never had lash extensions before and I am literally blown away. They are ridiculously pretty, and very natural looking - with just enough pizazz to really draw attention to my eyes. I’m beyond thrilled with the result. Comfort is a master of her craft and my hour long appointment flew by with her insightful and charming conversation. The application was comfortable and I am not aware of the lashes at all.. except when I look in the mirror!! Gorgeous gorgeous girls get their lashes done by Comfort! I will definitely be back!

Chanel may be tiny, but she is a strong and intuitive maseur who sorted out my sore shoulder better than the physio. I will be back.

I was Lauren's 1st massage client as she's recently joined the team at Sublime. What an amazing massage she gives. I literly melted into the massage bed. It was like floating on a cloud. Perfect treatment for the end of a hard working day. Well done Lauren.

I had a wax and a deluxe pedicure here and both were amazing and better than I’ve had anywhere else. Also, the ladies are lovely, I’d definitely recommend!

I have fine, thin hair and never let anyone touch it because they always seem to misjudge themselves and I end up with an unflattering hairstyle. Ronel listened to my concerns, gave me great haircare advice, and did exactly what I asked for in terms of cut and styling. This is the first time I've left a salon absolutely in love with my hair, and it's safe to say that I will 100% be returning to Ronel for regular trims and maintenance. Ronel, girl, you have changed my hair's life! A million thank yous.

Back Massage FAQs
A back massage is a massage focused solely on the back, and involves a range of techniques including acupressure, myofascial release, effleurage and skin rolling.
You’re likely to to pay around ZAR 360 for a back massage, but expect to pay anywhere between ZAR 250 and ZAR 550.
If you suffer with muscle tension in your back, then a back massage could be beneficial. A back massage from an experienced therapist can help to relieve back pain by relaxing the soft tissues and reducing muscle aches.
Your therapist is best placed to advise you how often you should have a back massage. It could be anything from once a week to once a month, depending on your body and what you are treating.
They can certainly help to treat knots in your muscles. Massage therapy increases blood flow and relaxes the soft tissue, helping to relieve muscle tension and discomfort.
It’s advisable to steer clear of a back massage if you are sunburned, have a fever or rash, if you are dizzy, bruised, or if you have recently been involved in an accident.
